cult task.
 Striking at the very heart of the law, the decision held that control of crop production even by volun. tary agreements and the payment of bounties exceeded the limitations placed on the power of the federal government.
 Stunning Blow
 A stunning blow ct what the New Deal considers its outstanding re. covery achievement, the decision left officials at least rnomentarily uncer. tain as to their immediate course.
 The decision was in such force. fal terms that 1t left no doubt that the Bankhead cotton control act also would be declared invalid.
 It also appeared definitely to scrap the Kerr-Smith tobacco act and the potato control law.
 The decision served to strike down processing taxes on wheat, rice, to. bacco, corn, hogs, sugar beets and sugar cane, paper, jute, peanuts and rye, as well as cotton.
 Crop production control pros grams for oil these commodities fell with the decision.
 Most Important Ruling
 The decision was considered the most important in political signifi- canoe since the Civil War.
 Briefs and arguments submitted during consideration of the case showed the deepest sort of cleavage between the industrial attackers and farm defenders of AAA.
 Reverberations of the courts des cision were expected to sound fur- iousiy through the coming political campaigns.
 The issue of c constitutional amendment was regarded as almost certain to Do raised, although the exact form 1t might take was ua. certain.
 Invasion of Rights
 The court based its decision on the finding that AAA was on In. vaslon of the right of the states. Il also held that the plan itself wei 4 nitself not voluntary"

 Adds Ababa, Jan. 6.-tUP)-- Italian airplanes bombed the swe. dish Red Cross hospital In the Dolo area on two occasions, Dr. Pride Hy- lander, commandant, charged today.
 He said Italian planes dropped bombs, and fired machine gun bull. lets, among the thickly spread 1we. dish, Ethiopian and Red Gross flags marking the eylcampYnent. The first bombardment was car. ried out December a without ef- feet, Hyiander said. He said he sent 0 telegram describing 1t to Adds Ababa but that 1t never reached here.
 fyiander, wounded in the second bombardment-in which his col- leag,ie Dr. Qunnar LundstroEn re. ceived fatal wounds--was brought here by airplane. He said today.
 "The Swedish ambulance (Red Gross unit) arrived ct Malka Didaka, 90 kilometres (60 miles) from Dolu on the right (southern' bank of the i Doyia river December 2i.

Justices Harlan Y. 6Uone, LOUIS O' Brandeis and Benjamin N. Cardozo stood for the law.
 After he had announced the courts finding, Roberts continued for some time, seemingly in argu- Ynent in defense of the finding.
 Roberts dealt with the laws rela. ton to the right of tho government to "lay taxes for the general well fare" He ruled that the power to tax thereby was to tax only for the benefit of "the general welfare"
 If AAAS theory were upheld, Inc said, the government might 90 Into c state with its taxing and spend- ing power and sedistribute the in. dustrial population in violation os the states powers.
 "For the appeal from unwise lawa the recourse is not to the court but to the ballot," Justice Stone said in Q dissenting opinion.
 The courts sensational opinion almost voided the necessity of rule ings in the appeal against amended processing taxes brought by Louis- lana rice staillers and in tht attack on the Bankhead cotton act brought by Lee Moro, Texas cotton grower.
 The issues raised in the rice case were of no practical irnportancs since the whole AAA was invalldat- cd. The DanlEhead act was charec- terised by Justice Roberts in hia AAA opinion as an even greater ex. ercise of compulsory crop control than the unconstitutional AAA.
 Market Scared.
 1nvalldation of the agricultural adjustment cd n In 1 . tration act brought wild scenes into the New York cotton and other commodity markets today and sent the stock market soaring in such active trad. Ing that tickers fell for behind. Stocks gained 1 to moro than { points In issues that would bench, by the AAA decision. Processing Company Issues such As the food and packers were best performers Slight losses were noted in issuel whose companies cater to farm de- mand, including mall order alat farm implement.

gold devaluation was accomplished and ratified later by congress.
 This Title of the act also was not involved to-day.
 The plan of AAA operation and the law which was involved in the Hoosac Mills case operated in this way:
 when the Secretary of Agricul- ture found that on emergency ex- isted and plan of crop produc. ton control was desired. he pro. mulgated Q plan covering the par ticular commodity involved.
 Basic Commodities Added
 These commodities, some added to the list after first passage of the law, included cotton, wheat, rice, tobacco, corn, hogs, sugar beets and sugar cane (under c sep- arate pian) peanuts and rye.
 Using statistics of the Depart ment of Agruculture, the secretary then decided on the amount of pro. cessing tax which was needed to approximate the difference between tho price farmers received for the product and normal or parity" price.
 The taxes could not Do ilm- posed on commodities for the pro- duction of which the secretary had established . crop production control program.
 once tho tax was Imposed and contracts ostahlIAhed hy which farmers agreed to reduce their acreage the plan became opera tive. The tax went into c fund from which farmers who reduced their crop were paid hounties. Tn cases where tho processing tax was likely to cause consumers to use c competing product the sec rotAyy was empowered to impose c compensating tax. Under this au. thorlty he imposed c tax on paper and ute to protect the cotton iii- duStry.
 Taxes Exceed Billion
 The government has collected in excess of 9i,000, 100000 in process- ing taxes, while it has paid or agreed to pay farmers who reduce crops more than ei,BOO, ,oo0,000. At the same time agricultural prices have increased to the extent that many farmers can now sell ct Q profit even without the bounty. Huge domestic surpluses Of cotton, wheat, corn, hogs and other coiii- modities have been reduced or eiisn- mated.
 Though ths reduction was aided by drought and crop failures, it haa not been questioned that the farm program was . major factor in the decrease.
 on the other hand, critics con- tend that proceeding taxes plus the batter market created by reduced surpluses have increased consumer prices co greatly ag to react against tho farmers best interests. W
 10 these critics the adfninistrAs ton hes replied with statistics indi- eating that tho aisparity between the farmers income and necessary expenses has been materially se- ducod.

 300 Italians Dead
 An official statement said today that Q total of 800 Italians of the East African expeditionary force were known dead since the begin- ning of the campaign, and 18 were missing.
