Comptroller General McCarl wrote a
question mark on AAA plans to pay
farmers for crop restriction program
which has been abandoned for this
year, seven government agencies in
dicated Monday they were linking
their efforts to combat dust storm
damage.
It was the damage from dust and
drouth storms which prompted the
agricultural adjustment administra-
ton to lift restrictions on spring wheat
paintings. Declaring they wanted to
avoid shortages, officials said the
farmers would be paid for the aban-
doned reductions II they promised to
curtail acreage next year.
McCarl has asked for more infor-
nation on this proposal, but AAA men
denied he had ruled definitely that
such payments could not be made.
They indicated an expectation that
the payment program could be carried
through, though with perhaps some
changes In the arrangements.
The seven agencies whose Officials
indicated they were organizing their
total knowledge and facilities for the
dust relief emergency are:
The AAA, farm credit administra-
ton, soil erosion service, bureau of
chemistry and soils. bureau OF plant
industry and bureau Of agricultural
engineering.
The efforts, officials said. will in

as Washington seldom hears. Happily
the aforesaid bells are a myth and
scarcely a bell showed up. much less
tangled, except atop the dozens OF
brides cakes that had their first slice
