LUBBOCK, Oct. 24.—(P.—Rep.
Staye Pace of Georgia said today
a downward revision of cotton
acreage In the United States is in-
evitable.
Pace, chairman of a congression-
al committee which came here to
hear producers'—and processors’
views on the cotton situation, said
increasing . yields and general
world conditions will force the de-
crease.
The cut, he said In an interview
before opening of the hearing, may

acres from the present 27,000.000,
although only some 18,000,000
acres were harvested last year.
This, he conceded, probably
would affect West Texas more dir-
ectly than any other cotton pro-
ducing area.
Pace believes that outstanding
points developed so far by the
subcommittee of the house agricul-
tural committee in hearings which
started last week at Memphis.
Tenn , are that the secretary of
agriculture should have more
diarcelionary power over allot-
menu and that farmers operating
under a provision allowing 40 per-
cent of their tillable land in cotton
probably will be forced to take the
lion’s share of any cuts.
The committee has found, how-
ever, that farmers and others in-
terested want to preserve the con-
trol and support price program.
Pace said, adding that only one
man has expressed opposition to
the program.
It was expected that the commit-
tee would encounter protests here
on the allotment plan, with local
sentiment favoring allotments on
the bale basis rather than on acres.
This view is shared by Rep. Bob
Poage of Waco, committee mem-
ber. who with Reps. George Mahon
and Gene Worley feels that the
acre plan discriminates against
