FARMPROCRAM
DEFEAT FIRST
MAJOR REBUFF
Think Legislative Aid May
Yet Take Some
Other Form

WASHINGTON, April /. (UP)
President Roosevelt met his first
major rebuff from this session of
congress yesterday when the
house agriculture committee kill
ed l3 to IL, the key section of
his farm tenancy aid program
a $50,000,000 annual loan pro-
gram to help tenants buy their
own farms.
Shortly after this congress con-
vened the chief executive sent up
special message outlining a
program to end "intolerable con-
ditions" among tenant farmers
and urging congressional action
to launch the administration on
its newest social experiment.
Chairman Marvin Jones, D.,
Tex, of the committee said that
yesterdays action apparently
meant the death of the farm ten
ancy measure at present. How
ever, today the group will con-
slider provisions authorizing $751;
100000 annually for rehabilita-
ton loans and $70,000,000 spread
over the next four years for gov
eminent purchase Of sub-marginal
lands.
Opposition to tenancy loans de-
veloped in the committee several
weeks ago when a secret vote re-
vealed an unfavorable lineup. 1t
remained unchanged yesterday
despite a committee conference
with President Roosevelt Tues
day.
1t was reported the president
reluctantly acquiesced to killing
the provision but consented be-
cause of the necessity for trim
ming expenditures to keep the
budget in line.
Representative Hampton P.
Fulmer, D., S. c., one of seven
Democrats who Joined six Repub-
licans to kill the measure, said
that any government program
now proposing to make landown.
ers out !of tenant farmers would
be "just like pouring so many
millions of dollars in a rat hole"
Other opponents objected to
putting the government into the
land business"
Fulmer contended the program
could not aid more than 5000
farmers, while more than 10000
are being forced into tenancy
yearly. He said that any relief
program is hopeless that does not
remedy the Fundamental caus-
es."
