REVISED FAR
BILL WINS
APPROVAL
Conservation Of Soil
Chief Objective Of
Substitute AAA
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

The Administration revised
farm program, substitute for the
invalidated AAA, was today ap-
proved almost unanimously by the
Senate Agriculture Committee.
The vote was IA to 2. Committee
members refused to reveal details
of the vote.
AS favorably reported by the
committee the new program de-
rives it's authority from last
years Soil Conservation act, and
includes also a so-called policy
amendment designed to bring
about within two years a farm
system in which the 48 States will
participate. .
The amendments set forth that
soil conservation is the primary
objective of the program and
sought to subordinate the produc
ton control features as incidental
to the main objective of conserva
ton and improvement Of the soil
Committee members and Score
tary Of Agriculture Wallace said
this amendment would bring the
bill within the purview of the Su
preme Courts decision scrapping
the AAA.
Today'S action, in spite Of the
overwhelming vote, did not indi
cate that the committee members
believed the measure completely
constitutional. This was revealed
in the light Of statements by the
committee chairman, S enat tot
Smith CD of South Carolina.
AS recently as yesterday, Smith
declared the arguments of Solici
tor General Stanley Reed for the
legality of the bill had failed tt
shake the doubt which committee
members earlier held.
Senator Thomas CD of Okla
homa, suggested inclusion in the
report Of a statement declaring
the farm problem primarily {
monetary matter and pointing out
a number of methods by which
currency might be inflated, but
the committee did not act on hi!
suggestion today. It will meet to
morrow morning to determine
whether the Thomas propose
shall be included in the report.

At another point he accused the

purposes. He said:
"The New Dealers have tried
by billions of dollars to hold
