FARM BILL is
ONLY WAY OUT,
SAYS WALLACE
Broad Powers Needed to
Solve Problem, He
Tells Senators.
IMPERATIVE, HE INSISTS
Agriculture Secretary Goes
Before Committee to
Combat Revolt.
BpI niicd Press

BIZ nHcd Press
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Con-
gress must grant broad and flexible
powers" to the administration if the
farm problem is to be solved, Agri-
culture Secretary Henry A. Wallace
testified before the senate agricul-
ture committee To-Day.
Wallace appeared before the COM
mittee to combat an incipient COM
mittee revolt which threatens to cut
to pieces his authority over farm
production as provided for in the
Roosevelt farm relief bill already
passed by the house.
Wallace defended the administra
ton program after John A. Simp-
son, president of the Farmers
Union had criticised the plan bit
terly.
Stresses Buying Power
Simpson predicted an adminiStra-
tive force of 100000 persons would
be required to carry out provisions
of the bill and the administrative
cost would be $600000,000 annually.
The administration accepts as a
fundamental principle the view
that restoration of the farmers buy
ing power is an essential part Of
the program to relieve the present
economic emergency" Wallace said,
mot only for agriculture, but for all
industry and a large part of our
national credit structure.
ITO deal with the many factors
that contribute to the farmers
present situation, and to deal with
those factors as they vary in ampli-
fication to the commodities con-
cerned, and to meet changes in the
economic situation, congress must
enact legislation granting broad and
flexible powers to the administra-
ton.
Likened to Bank Bill
1t must trust for a solution OF
the present emergency to the ex-
ercise of sound discretion by the
chief executive and those who carry
out his program"
Wallace likened the need of ex-
ecutive farm relief power to that
conferred on the President in the
emergency banking law.
Under a substitute bill proposed
by Chairman Smith of the SEN
ate committee he would be for
hidden to employ the allotment plan
and limited in his use of the pro-
CeSSing tax.

Necessity to Follow

ty grand jury.

today he has conferred with Oscar
Hagemeier, his deputy in charge of

STABILITY of calling all the Taylor

Although the coroner's office and
police have reached no definite de-
cision as to the manner Of Tay-
lor's death, I believe it is necessary
to follow the case up" Wilson de-
clared.
Dies of Skull Fracture
Taylor was found in front of his
home in the street by milkman
last Sunday morning, dying from
a skull fracture with blood pouring
from his nose and ears.

Saturday night between his wife
and Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Smock, SIT
North DeQuincy street, which broke
up in friendly argument, the
Shocks going home early and Mrs.
Taylor accompanying them to spend
the night.
Mrs. Taylor told detectives and
DR.. John E. Wyttenbach, deputy
coroner, that her husband lad taken
several drinks and it first was be-
lieved his skull fracture was due to
a fall, with his head striking the
curb.
Little Light on Death
However, DR.. Wyttenbach's in
vestigation of Taylor's injuries re-
vealed bruise on the side of the
head and that the fracture was not
of type likely to be caused by
fall.
Wyttenbach and detectives have
examined number of witnesses this

ments after the bridge game.

Within the last few days the CONVEX

been reaching the proportions Of typical
congressional anger, which is not infre-

form ultimately in rebellion.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been too busy to

are q bit peeved that he has not con-

Warm Springs. This Is not unusual,
because every President-elect has had
