 The courts decision placed n crushing financial burden upon the administration on the very day that President Roosevelt with optimism submitted q i037 budget that was within balance, except for relief cx- pendltures,
 It meant that the government is obligated, according to latest AAA estimates to pay $002, ,000, 1000 which it has contracted Co give to farmers under the AAA crop scheme, To meet the payment, it must find some new form of taxes as the whole system of processing levies under AAA was swept away.
 In addition it meant loss of some $200, 1000, GOO that had been iIn- pounded In federal courts pending the supreme court ruling,
 President Roosevelt met the Sit- uatlon with q smile and gave no immediate indication of his plans.
 The court divided sharply on the AAA issue--as it has been on sev. eral new deal cases.
 The majority consisted of Roberts, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Wills Van De Vanter, James c, McRoynolds, George Sutherland, and Pierce Butler.

 Only hy constitutional amend- ment, it appeared immediately, could the new deal repair the gap- ing hole rent in its recovery struc. ture.
 As a breathless audience listened in the marble-pillard courtroom Justice Roberts. speaking with only glance or two at the text of his opinion, condemned the AAA as "a statutory plan to regulate and con- trol agricultural production, a mat ter beyond the powers delegated to the federal government"
 Not a listener in the quiet ele- gance of the chamber was in doubt of the significance of the opinion as Roberts, with rising voice, said:
