The Louisianians said that there is no provision in the present law which permits the department "to protect the established quotas of rice growing areas when controls are not in effect."

"To the best of our abilities we must be prepared for whatever situation may arise." The announcement that planting restrictions on rice will be lifted drew mixed reactions from Mississippi and Louisiana members of Congress. Rep.

Prank Smith (D-Miss.) who, with Senator Eastland D-Miss.) has been urging the action hailed the move as a "wise decision." On the other hand Senators El-lender and Long and Reps. Larcade and Willis, Louisiana Democrats, said the action might disrupt the economy of the South. Lifting of controls-, the Louisiani-ans said, will open up new areas to Veterans seeking to buy or build homes, in this area, may now obtain a direct loan from the Vet ceived by the PMA office or the county agents office but an Associated Press dispatch from Washington reported the Louisiana Congressional delegation as opposing the measure. Their fears seemed to have been based on the possibility that other areas, in particular parts of Mississippi, would start growing rice producing a large supply which will reduce the price of rice. Excerpts from the dispatch are as follows: Secretary of Agriculture Brannan lifted controls on production of rice this year.

This action was taken, he said, to encourage maximum production to assure abundant supplies for a probable greater export demand under the defense program. Brannan earlier had lifter controls from this year's crop of wheat, corn and cotton. Only major types of tobacco and peanuts remain under controls. Rice is grown principally in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and California. LT.

The direct loan law, approved April 20, 1950, provides for loans rice production "which will mean a shifting of established acreage allotments and marketing quotas away from the historical rice growing areas, unless remedial legislation is enacted by me Congress." They said in statement they will seek to have special legislation approved. Smith told a reporter that the departments action "fits in with what should be our program of leaving no stone unturned in full mobilization of our resources." Mississippi farmers, Smith said, will contribute a large share of the new rice acreage "so greatly needed." He said lifting of controls offers a wonderful opportunity for utilization of the "buckshot land in our area."

Also excluded are the municipalities of Sulphur, Lake Charles and Lafayette. Golsan quoted Guerre as saying that there are sufficient funds available for "a substantial number of loans" in this area. The New Orleans area is composed of the 35 southern parishes. Already, Guerre said, 240 veterans have applied for a loan and 150 have been approved. Many of the remainder are in the process of being approved, he added.

The average loan to date has amounted to $6,600. Veterans wishing to apply for the loan should write: Veterans A necessary aptitudes lor the new course, You'll need VA approval before you enroll.
