CONGRESS SPEEDS
FARMLEG|SLAT|0N
Passage in Both Houses by
Saturday Is Objective
of Leaders.

BACKGROUND
InpdEddtion OF A. A. A. edriy
last month has been tollo1Ued by
tDeeks of confusion on part OF con-
gressiondi friends of agriculture.
Pending noW before House and
Senate is bill for Federal farm sub
sidtes administered on basis OF soil
conservation pian
Cost OF program is estimated at
$500. 900. 900 NTH neio tar expected
to replace processing leptes. In
background, also, fs possibility OF
additional tares to finance bonus
and relief plans.
Seeking to quicken the legislative
tempo, Congress leaders today planned
to push the new farm bill in an ef-
fort to pass it through both Houses
before Saturday.
Then they hope for quick action
on such remaining issues as taxes,
with the idea Of adjourning Congress
by May at the latest. They already
had jettisoned the proposed perma-
nent neutrality legislation, thus free
ing the legislative barque of one con-
troversy that threatened to delay the
journey toward adjournment.
Fighting the new farm bill were
some Democrats and Republicans.
The latest to attack it was Senator
Walsh, Democrat. of Massachusetts,,
who said. in statement published
today, that 1t was dangerous" bill,
comforting "autocratic and blanket
authority" on the Secretary of Agri-
culture. He said the measure was
neither valid in law nor valid in
economics"
Still Pending in Senate.
Debate on the bill is still the pend
ing business of the Senate, while the
House may start discussing 1t Thurs
day.
Designed as a substitute for the
invalidated A. A. A., it authorizes
the Federal Government to pay
farmers who conserve soil by with
drawing acreage from production of
commercial crops. Subsidies would
be paid directly to individuals or
through the medium of cooperating
States. After two years, subsidies
would be granted only in States
agreeing to cooperate.
Senator Walsh's statement said:
"The conclusion seems to be in
escapable that this Is q measure Of
dubious constitutionality, or indefi-
mite grant of bureaucratic power and
credible financial burden--all to no
purpose, its impossibility to afford
control over agriculture and Of In
adequate farm relief being conceded
by its sponsors"
Other Democratic Senators previ-
ously had expressed the view the
legislation was valid and advisable.
House leaders awaiting admins
tration tax suggestions foresaw today
possibility that the Ways and
Means Committee may start hearings
on the 1evies late this week.
Chairman Doughton said he ex-
pected definite word from the White
House or Treasury soon on the amount
and kind Of taxes that might be i'm
posed to finance the new farm pro-
gram.
