AAA AMENDMENTS
PASSED BY SENATE

I WASHINGTON, July "a. (UP)
The Agricultural Adjustment AID,
ministration, headed for the same
supreme court test that doomed
MIRA, gained new strength yester'
day when the senate passed Sc
ries of amendments, Ga to Is, de-
signed to safeguard the New Deal
farm program.
The amendments passed the
house long ago. They now go to
conference - another administra-
ton "must" bill we'll on its way to
final enactment.
New Dealers who drafted the
amendments sought to interpret
the supreme courts NRA ruling
relating to delegation of congress
sional power so that the recovery
agency's farmer twin would not
meet the same fate. One of the
changes they made took away the
power of Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace to license food
handlers. ...
In the midst of senate debate
on the bill the Boston circuit court
of appeals declared the AAA un-
constitutional. The senate con-
tinued consideration, however,
making drastic changes in the
house version.
All price fixing features were
eliminated.
A proposal to close the courts
against suits for recovery of pro-
cessing taxes, if they are declared
illegal, was rejected. The process
sor must prove, however, that he
paid the tax himself and did not
pass it on to consumers. The gov
eminent may examine his books
to make sure.
In place of the licensing power
of the original act, the secretary
of agriculture may issue orders
to food professors or handlers
They would apply only to certain
commodities in interstate COM
merce, including milk, fruits, lex
cept for canning and apples) to-
bacco, vegetables Except for can
ning), soybeans and naval stores
The orders may: limit the pro-
duction of a commodity; allot pur-
chase quotas to handlers; allot
marketing quotas to handlers; de,
termine existence of surplus and
provide for it's disposition; or es-
tabliSh reserve pools.

UNREST Seen
AS WIDESPREAD
Report Revolutionary Gov
eminent Planned in
Northern Mexico

SAN DIEGO, Calf, July "a
| (UP).-Trouble brewing across
the Mexican border was seen last
night as possible elimination of a
long-growing plan of exiled MeXl'
can politicos to restore themselves
to power under guise of a holy
war"
Reports from the border indi'
Gated:
l. Revolt of 1000 Mexican
farmers at Matamoros, Mexico
across the border from Browns
vile. Texas, apparently is not con.
nected with the declaration OF
martial law in the southern prov
ince of Tabasco.
2. Reported revolutionary plans
called for set-up of a rebel gov
eminent in northern Mexico, at
Chihuhua City, accompanied by
withdrawal of delegates from the
Mexican congress.
8. The unexpected reversal OF
the government attitude toward
religion, accompanying the Undue
ton of President Lazaro Cardenas
to power, and the removal of Plu-
tarco Elias Gales, former "strong
man" of Mexico and bitter foe of
Catholicism, forced radical changes
in original revolutionary plans.
Cardenas' Unexpectedly sympa-
thetic attitude toward religion
threatened rebel leaders with loss
of their most effective weapon
religious excitement.
Into the picture was thrust the
rumored return of Adolfo de la
Huerta, exiled political leader,
who has not been on Mexican soil
for II years.
Under reported plans of revolu-
tionaries, outbreaks in northern
Mexico were to have followed in
PRODUCTION of bills into congress
creating a state church.
The revolt was to have been car
ried on under the battle cry of
religious freedom" with provi-
sions for fighting already made on
this side of the American border,
where arms, ammunition and sup
plies repeatedly have been cached
or struggled across to Mexican
soil.
Reports along the international
border have for weeks predicted a
"new revolution" Sudden remov-
al of Gales was believed to have
halted the outbreak.
What effect the uprising in
Tamaulipas, where General RafaeI
Villareal is the largest of farm in.
surrection, will have on the pro-
posed northern revolt, which was
to center at Hermosillo, capital OF
Sonora, was regarded as highly
uncertain.
At Nogales, Sonora, it was be,
lieved the failure of poems to rise
in concert with the farmers OF
Tamaulipas was a clear test OF
loyalty of Indians and Mestizos OF
northern Mexico to the new Car.
denas rule.
The situation was regarded here
as still unsettled, with the next
two or three weeks probably de.
termining whether original plans
of revolutionists on the American
side of the border could be car
ried out.

fled Over Drastic
5 tep

MEXICO CITY, July "a. (UP).
President Lazaro Cardenas last
night imposed a censorship turnout
Mexico, took control in the troll
bled state of Tabasco and moved
to Dust Gov. Rafael Villareal of
Tamaulipas state in series of ex-
ecutive proclamations approved, by
congress and praised by leading
church dignitaries and political
LEADERS,.
The censorship was lifted after
several hours during which Car
denas, operating from the state
of Colimas, appeared to have en-
trenched himself firmly against
followers of former President Plu-
tarco Elias Gales by:
1. Decreeing suspension of state
powers in Tabasco where he
moved drastically against the Red
Shirt supporters of former Secre-
tary of Agriculture Tomas CARR
do Canabal, absolute but unofficial
dictator of the state and leading
anti-churchman.
2. Dealing with an agrarian up
rising in Tamaulipas where 10000
peasants marched against the cap
ital, Viudad Victoria, to demand
resignation of the governor.
8. Mobilizing federal troops to
quell a revolt of 1000 farmers at
Matamoros, across the border from
Brownsville, Tex, where the Mex
lea farmers political organization
protested taxation and land poll
cies of the authorities.
4. Appointing Gen. Miguel Hen
riquez Guzman military comman-
der in Tabasco, succeeding Gen.
Pillar Sanchez, Red Shirt sup
porter.
5. Appointing Gen. Aureo Cal
les-not related to the former
neutrality-suspicious. governor of
Tabasco, succeeding Manuel Las
ira Ortiz, also a Red Shirt sympa-
thizer.
Cardenas' actions in Tabasco,
all constitutional and supported by
the congressional commission, re-
suited from countrywide protest
against IL political murders in
Villahermosa, Tabasco, on July ID.
Officials feared revolutionary out
breaks unless drastic executive ac-
ton was taken in the state, where
Garrido was organizing his armed
Red Shirts to dominate elections
scheduled for August IS.
Politicians, workers, peasants
and churchmen were impressed IA
vorably by Cardenas' quick action
following his investigation of the
Tabasco murders, which were
traced directly to Garrido and his
political henchmen.
Churchmen regarded Garrido es
their worst enemy. Garrido long
has feared direct action by the
president. He repeatedly imported
arms and ammunition in readiness
for resistance in defense of his 10
years rule over TabaSco.
Today's concentration of fed
eral troops and changes in mill
tary and civilian authorities, how,
ever, appeared likely to prevent
revolt. The new military comman-
der is loyal to Cardenas and en-
ergetic.
