Rider
Fight on
Horizon

Legislative action in the com
ing session of Congress to repeal
the McKellar rider on the appro-
priation bill last session which
will result in 900 employees of the
Treasury Department losing their
jobs November 80, appeared likely
today.
This is indicated in the number
Of letters which have been re-
ceived by the Civil Service Com
mission from members Of Con-
greSs who contend that they mis-
interpreted the McKellar pro-
posal when they voted to pass it
last session.
Senator McKellar's rider oSten-
sibly was aimed at putting out Of
the service some of the patronage
holdovers from the Hoover ad-
ministration, but it has actually
resulted in ousting from the SER
vice a number of employees who
had a proper civil service status.
1t is believed that some mem
bers of Congress are so irked at
the proposition that they will in.
stitute a fight to have the Nc
Kellar provision stricken from the
statute books in such fashion as
to place these Civil Service en-
ployes back in their posts.
Both Comptroller General John
r. McCarl and Civil Service Com.
mission heads have asserted that
they have no other choice than
to hold that the rider means
what it says and, therefore, that
the employees either must give
up their jobs or pass another eX-
animation.

Another blow to negotiations for

DISCUSS CORN-HOG
ALLOTMENT PLAN
[ConfiHned rom Firsf Paoel

service is planning to carry out the
purposes of this plan, and applica-
tiOn blanks and other necessary
papers will be available at the coun-
ty extension offices within a short
time.
In order that the farmers of Del
aware may have the opportunity to
become familiar with this corn-hog
allotment plan, community meetings
will be held i'm each county, and
those farmers who are interested in
this program are requested to at
tend. The details of this plan will
be fully explained at each of these
meetings, but no effort will be made
to induce farmers to sign contracts
as this is purely voluntary upon
their part, as was the case within the
wheat acreage adjustment and al
lotment plan last year throughout
the United States.
Since the exports of pork and lard
to foreign countries have declined
severely in recent years due to
heavier hog production abroad and
higher foreign tariffs, it is essen
tial that some adjustment be made
in both corn and hog production in
the United States. We have a corn
production problem because the
farmer continues to raise
enough corn to feed the present ex-
cess number of hogs, so the reduc-
tion in the hog population must be
by a corresponding re-
duction in corn acreage If this pro-
gram is to be effective. If this is
not done, the corn no longer required
for hog feeding will become avail
able for other uses. and will have
to reduce corn prices
through the country. This cOndi-
Lion in turn would encourage the
feeding of more hogs, and would not
result in a balanced production of
.hese two agricultural commodi-
lies.
