ADDITIONAL CROP
CONTROL IS SEEN
Wallace Convinced Many
Farmers Want Adjustment
Made Compulsory.

By the Associated Press.
A definite trend toward compulsory
control of other crops In addition to
cotton and tobacco is foreseen by Sec
retary wallace.
Conversations with farm leaders
have convinced him, he said yester-
day, that farmers of the Midwest,
North and Far West are beginning to
want crop adjustments made COM
pulsory to prevent those who do not
cooperate in voluntary control from
profiting at the expense Of those
who do.
Pressure Is Seen.
Pressure is in this direction" he
said, adding that it seems likely to
continue unless we get a great in
crease in foreign trade"
He said such move might be nee
eSsary at some time In the future to
prevent non-co operators from ex-
panding production and nullifying the
work Of the 100000 cooperating
farmers.
While farmers are discussing such
a plan and farm organizations are
studying 1t seriously, 1t 'naSnt de-
veloped to the point where it will be
/ significant in this Congress" the Sec
retary said.
His observations were made before
the release of an incomplete tabula-
ton of returns on the Bankhead COM
pursory cotton control act referendum
held December IA showing 1,348, 1877
Of the 1,505,604 farmers who voted
had favored retention of the measure.
Referendum on Way.
A referendum on the second COM
pulsory control act in force, the Kerr
Smith measure affecting tobacco pro-
duction, is now under way with re-
suits to be announced Saturday.
Wallace expressed a preference for
the Kerr-Smith legislation in holding
down production, declaring it was not
| compulsory control since the 1913 per
cent ad valorem tax on excess produc-
ton was not prohibitory.

Washington's inhabited alleys, now
economic and social liabilities, will
be turned into assets when the slums
reconstruction program is carried out,
John Ihlder, executive officer Of the
alley dwelling authority, told the
weekly luncheon meeting Of the Amer
lean Business Club yesterday at the
Hay Adams House.
This reconstruction also will give
direct employment and stimulate en-
ployment in the production of ma
terials, he said. The Government can
not support all the unemployed ade-
quately on a dole. Ihlder said, but in
order to diminish the cost of relief
and to prevent the Generalization
that accompanies idleness, Govern
ment relief must be tied up to pro-
ductive labor. The best field for
this productive labor, the speaker said
lies In slum reconstruction and pro-
vision OF low-cost housing.
Robert Norman, president Of the
club, presided. Ihlder was introduced
by Bernard Hern.
