AAA REVENUE
PAYWITHHELD

Hope of AAA employees for mid
month pay checks tomorrow van
ished today with the announce
ment by Controller General
McCarl that he had not been able
to make a decision.
This blow was contained in a
letter McCarl addressed to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace stat
ing:
"YOur letter did not contain
sufficient facts for proper con-
SideratiOn."
The Comptroller General added
a request that Wallace submit an
other letter presenting a complete
statement of facts regarding the
status of the AAA and its en-
ployes.
At the comptroller's office, the
ruling was interpreted as meaning
that AAA pay checks will be held
up until such time as Secretary
Wallace submits a statement which
McCarl regards as sufficient"
At the same time McCarl an
nounced that all Internal Rev.
enue employees who have been en-
gagged in the collection of AAA
processing taxes will not be paid,
leading Treasury officials to pom
der whether this automatically
severed them from their jobs.

COURT DELUGE
OF AAA SUITS
IS AWAITED
Professors Claim u. S.
Illegally Collected
1000 Millions
international News Service

A deluge of law suits and ap-
peals for refunds of 1000 million
dollars in processing taxes col.
lected under the unconstitutional
AAA was awaited by the Admins.
tration today.
The Supreme Court paved the
way for the deluge when it re.
fused to pass on the constitu.
tionality of the refund provision
voted by Congress in the amended
AAA.
Under this provision professors
must prove they did not pass ths
processing tax on to the consumer
or take it from the producer.
The court, in another phase Of
its decision, disposed of $500 law
suits by holding that 200 million
dollars in processing taxes, held
in escrow in lower Federal courts,
should be returned to professors.
Provision for RetundS
The refund provision, however,
opens the door to almost endless
litigation. It was enacted by a
Congress plainly in fear of the
AAA being declared unconstitu-
tional
The law provides that refunds
will be allowed only when the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
is satisfied that the professor has
not included the tax il the price
of the article, or passed any part
of it on to the buyer, or included
any part of it in the charge or
fee for processing or paid a re-
duced price for the article because

mination.
Hundreds of thousa lands Of
claims for refund are expected to
be filed Immediately.
Some Suits on File
Some professors have already
filed suits for refunds in Federal
district courts based on the Su.
preme Courts decision of Janu-
airy 6 declaring AAA unconstitu-
| tional.
The question of constitutions
atty of the refund provision Of
the amended AAA is expected to
be raised in these suits. 1t may
be a year before the question
reaches the Supreme Court.

ASKS FLEXIBLE
AID TO FARMS
international News Service


A domestic allotment plan linked
with soil rehabilitation and con-
servation, and expansion of do
nestle and foreign farm markets
was suggested today by Chairman
Jones of Texas of the House Agri-
culture Committee as substitute
for the invalidated AAA.
This plan, Jones said, would en-
title producers to a premium on
that part of the commodity which
is domestically consumed, while
the remaining portion of his pro-
duction would have access to world
markets. He explained:
ct is peculiarly suited to cot
ton and wheat, but other meth
DDS will probably be better suit
ed to some of the other crops.
No single plan would be suited
to all the different commodities.
although proper adjustment
is desirable, we should produce
all the market will absorb both
at home and abroad"
Any remedial legislation should
be broad and flexible, Jones said.
Meanwhile, the committee pre-
pared to take favorable action on
Jones' 40 million-dollar bill to pro-
vide loans to farmers for crop
production and harvesting during
the present year. Individual loans
would not exceed S3C0.
