Roosevelt Plans Recommendation
To Congress Which Would Enable
Tenant Farmers To Be Owners

A. Wallace is chairman of the
committee.
While he insisted that details
would have to be worked out by
the committee, Wallace indicated
that at the start the plan would
cover only the basic crops of
wheat, cotton and corn. 1t is not
even certain that all three of
these will be included:
Wallace personally favored the
payment of losses from drouth
and other hazards in kind, that
is in bushels of corn and wheat
or bales of cotton. This, he point
ed out, would eliminate the diff
culties of price fluctuations which
might complicate the price of
crop failure if the farmers were
guaranteed a set return in dol
lars.
The secretary insisted that the
announcement of the administra-
TONS crop insurance program was
not influenced by the speech on
agriculture which Governor ALT
NJ. Landon will give in Des Moines
tonight. Wallace said that neither
he nor his associates had any in
dication as to Governor Landon's
speech,
