WASHINGTON, March 25.-Re- drafting of President Roosevelt's plan to enroll one quarter of million men into civilian corps for forestry work has been under taken by the Chairmen of the Senate and House Labor Commit tees to meet the objections filed by organized labor.
 The process of revamping the plan will take several days.
 Labors greatest objection was expressed by William Green, Presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, and directed at the con- servation corps and paying work CTS S1 day. He assailed this ''regimentation of labor in peace time that would demoralize wage levels" He demands that the stan- dard rates of wages be paid.
 Farm Bill Revision
 A revised Farm Relief Bill, com prising divergent views. has al- ready been advanced successfully The Senate Agricultural Committee has called Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to appear at an executive session. This is preliminary to what is expected to be drastic rewriting of the Presidents plan. No decisions have been reached but Chairman Smith is hopeful sat- isfactory compromise will be work ed out.
 To Cut Powers
 The new plan would reduce the sharply contemplated grant of pow CT to Secretary Wallace by elimin- ating the section of the Adminis- tration's bill providing for cutting of acreage through agreements with producers under modified version of the domestic allotment plan. It would also cut out the proposed licensing fee of distributors and seek changes in processing taxes.

will pay its own expenses, TO be
charged to each farmer accord

economically the local unit is
operated. the less it will cost the

The average amount of wheat

the basis of their allo'ments,
Mr.. Wilson says. The Govern
ment has official records on state

this average production and
acreage the allotment for each
county will be made.
After the allotment is made
to each county. the county com

selves at community meetings,
will have each farmer list bis
wheat acreage and production
for the last three years. The
committee will take "a average
of this, and then allot to each
farmer his proportionate share
of the amount allotted to the
county.
Thus, the steps to be taken by
the wheat farmer who wishes to
