Washington. (UP)—The oft-criticized Office of Price Administration came in for new cudgeling today from spokesmen for wheat and cotton growers.
This is Dr. J. H. Nelson, who this week was named dean of the Graduate school. He replaces Dr. E. B. Stouffer, who was promoted to "University Dean." Dr. Nelson, chairman of the English department, formerly was assistant dean of the Graduate school.
Farmers Claim OPA Unfairness
648
Texas Agriculture Commissioner J. E. McDonald said OPA should be abolished if it tries to fix cotton prices at 27 cents a pound. Such a price level, he said, would only discourage cotton planting.
In the house. Rep. Edward H. Rees, Republican, Kansas, charged that OPA had been "manifestly unfair" to farmers in the Kansas City and Chicago areas by the timing of its recent increase in wheat price ceilings.
On Feb. 15, he recalled, the Commodity Credit Corp. exercised its option to call loans made on wheat and demanded payment or delivery of the grain on or before March 1. Three days after the final delivery date, Rees said, OPA increased the price three cents a bushel.
"This action on the part of our government agencies is difficult to explain," he said. "The farmers who raised the wheat were certainly entitled to any rise in price that might be granted, instead of permitting someone else to have the benefit of it."
In a telegram to Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson, McDonald said a cotton ceiling of 27 cents a pound would be "equivalent to setting wages for the cotton farmer at the same figure."

University Air Raid Defense Was Bradshaw's War-Time Activity

To You, Too
He would have known the answer if—
But the University was not bombed during the war, so Prof. G. W. Bradshaw, chairman of the department of civil engineering, did not have to use the knowledge of aerial bombardment defense he gained two years ago in New York City.
At that time he attended a twoweek conference sponsored jointly by the United States Office of Education and the Office of Civilian Defense to instruct teachers how to plan for civilian defense against bombs.
When he returned to the campus, Professor Bradshaw conducted special defense training classes for engineering students, but their training was all theory as they had no chance to put their new knowledge into practice.
