Possibilities of State AAA's
Federally Aided Are
Said Considered

DECLARED STOP GAP

feat Portends Seriously
for Other Laws

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (UP)
Field offices of the AAA today
were notified by telegraph to
cease all activity in connection
with AAA programs. Officials
said the step was stop-gap until
a future course Of action is de-
cided. The possibility of setting
up state AAA's, aided with fed
eral funds, is being given serious
consideration, as were plans for
equalization fees, export deben-
lures and domestic allotments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (UP)
The New Deal today maintained
complete silence while the nation
reacted confusedly to the drastic
Supreme court decision of Mon
day outlawing the AAA and the
basis of it's benefit to farmers, the
processing tax.
In the farm belts where the
AAA distributed more than one
billion dollars, the blow was too
sudden and to devastating for any
clearcut trend of opinion to have
developed. e.
In the cities, nervous uncertain
ty of markets reflected the lack Of
sureness of business men as to
what the decision wctNH Mean1 -
the national economy.
From hurried White House con-
ferences emerged only an intima-
ton that congress would be ask
ed to appropriate approximately
quarter Of a billion dollars to pay
benefits for which the administra-
ton is already committed. The
decision also scrambled the pret-
dents new budget which had not
made any allowances for the loss
of processing taxes.
Many believed the decision
jeopardized all of the New Deals
policies, due for court review
soon, including the iva upon
which the court may rule next
Monday.
Shortly after the wordy opin-
ion wiping out the AAA and cast
ing serious doubts over the legal
ity of other vital New Deal re-
form and recovery laws had been
handed down, the recovery agency
announced that it would stop all
banefit navments Immediately.
Later the treasury ordered that
attempts to collect processing tax
es be stopped. The treasury Or
der was understood to be blan-
ket suspension of all AAA finan-
cial activities, and no further
checks are to be issued for AAA
administration purposes.
In a 6 to 8 decision, the ma
TONS highest tribunal held that
the AAA wholly was unconstltu-
tional because it invaded the
rights of the states in seeking 70
control farm production. The
whole system of processing taxes,
under which $1,000,0OO,O0O was
raised to finance the program, was
swept into discard.

with the devastating opinion IN

forced to impose new taxes since
