A.A. A. LICENSING
AMENDMENTS HIT
Meat Packers Head Sees
Too Broad Powers Given
to Secretary.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Institute of American Meat
Packers, through its president, William
w. Woods, today told the Senate Agri-
culture Committee that under pro-
posed licensing amendments to the
agricultural adjustment act the Sec
retary Of Agriculture could dictate the
conduct of hundreds of thousands of
small businesses regardless of whether
that was necessary to prevent unfair
practices.
Licensing powers which the bill
gives TO the Secretary" Woods said.
"apply not only to agricultural COM
modities but to any product thereof,
also to commodities competitive with
agricultural commodities and any
product thereof-in any way affecting
interstate commerce.
Nest Commodities Included.
"These categories include most COM
modities of any sort right down to
the consumer-many billions of dol
lars worth of commodities that would
be placed under the direction of
governmental officer"
Woods asserted that the Secretary
would not only be given power to fiX
the price which professor must pay
for livestock, but could limit the
amount any professor or distributor
could sell.
He can tell any one of hundreds
Of thousands of grocerS, delicatessen
dealers and meat Dealers" Woods
contended, what to charge for each
pound Of each kind Of product. pro-
vided he deems this necessary. Retail
sales of meat products alone run into
the billions of dollars"
What could the Secretary do If a
professor or distributor refused to
obey the terms and conditions i'm
posed by the Secretary? In that case,
after a hearing, the Secretary shall
have power to revoke or suspend the
licenses of the diSobedient licensee
His order suspending or revoking the
license shall be final if it is in ac-
cordance with law The ex-licensee is
then out of business
This would constitute assignment of
a judicial function to an administra-
tive officer, who often is an ap-
pointee chosen with regard to po-
litical consideration" Woods said. He
explained that "as a matter. of
course" he did not refer to Secretary
Wallace.
Others Protest Expansion.
Manufacturers, apple raisers, can
ners,: dairy professors and feed mill
ers yesterday protested before the
Committee against approval of the
proposed board expansion of licensing
powers.
Raymond Smethurst, assistant
counsel of the National Association
of Manufacturers. told the Committee
the proposed amendment would con-
fer upon the Secretary of Agriculture
power to dictate business practices
even more extensively than the Ma
tional Recovery Act authorized
through voluntary codes.
Arguments against the measure
were countered with the assertion of
Edward A. ONeal, chairman OF the
American Farm Bureau, that the
farmers demanded a bill with teeth
in it Profits of distributors and
professors are too high, he contended.

The Navy Department is keeping
an open mind on the usefulness Of
dirigibles as an arm of national de-

Admiral Ernest j. King, chief of the
aeronautics bureau, said yesterday.
Although the Macon theoretically
was destroyed in the recent war

of the United States Fleet, on the
value of the Macon as an adjunct to

Seven Months Operation.
The airship now has been operating
for seven months with the warships.
High-ranking naval authorities desire
to know officially the lessons learned
as a result of this association.
