WALLACE URGES
FARM BILL CARE
Secretary Advises Senators
to Take Middle Course
on Crop Control.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
advised Senators today TO adopt
middle course" between extreme COM
pulsory control and voluntary control
over farm production and marketing
under the new farm program.
Secretary Wallaces views were re-
ported by Chairman Smith of the
Senate Agriculture Committee after
a two-hour closed session in which
the Secretary explained details Of his
"ever-normal xranary" proposal to
members Of the committee.
A. the committee assembled SEN
ator Gillette, Democrat. Of Iowa pre-
dicted compromise on conflicting
opinions in an EFFORT 10 get 4 farm
program before the Senate within a
few days"
There is no doubt 4 general farm
bill will be ready for the Senate before
long" he said
Compulsory Cotton Control Support.
Senator Bankhead. Democrat, OF
Alabama said Southern Senators would
support his compulsory cotton control
proposals as the cotton section Of the
Senate farm bill.
"A cotton program is not worth q
cent Senator Bankhead said, with
out something to enforce it."
Senators on the committee said
Southerners probably would write cot
ton, tobacco and rice sections while
the outline Of the Pope-McGill bill
would be followed for corn and wheat.
This measure follows administration
ideas for an "ever-normal granary."
Jones Asks for Patience.
As Mr., Wallace led a squad OF Farm
Administration officials and farm or
ganization leaders before the Senate
committee to explain provisions of the
Pope -McGill bill. Chairman Jones OF
the House Committee called for
patience and tolerance" during the
work Of writing farm bill.
He, too. proposed that Congress
enact bill following "A middle
course between the extremes of ''un-
reasoning reduction and production
in unlimited quantities"
Chairman Pierce Democrat, of Ore
gon meanwhile called his Wheat Sub
committee into closed meeting early
in the day to attempt to draft provi-
sions for control of both wheat and
rice production.
BY dividing into subcommittee.
after failing as unit to draft farm
measure, the House Agricultural Com
mittee resorted to the expedient of
dealing separately with each of the
five basic ommodities-wheat, cotton,
corn, rice and tobacco-in order to
give Congress start on the admin
lstration program.
Wheat Provisions Rewritten.
Later Representative Pierce said his
subcommittee was rewriting wheat
provisions OF the House farm bill "to
make them more amenable to control
Of possible surplus crop next year"
The new section, he added, would
carry a provision for small benefit
payments" to farmers co-operstin in
an acresge-reduction program.

leaders In the construction field met
here to discuss means of stimula ting

the assertion that existing building
costs can not be lowered at this time.
The meeting, held at the headauar-
ters OF the United States Chamber Of
Commerce, was called for q general
discussion of construction problems.
President Roosevelt and other admin

tive means of checking the present
business slump.

building costs cannot be lowered while
other costs remain high He men,
toned specifically excessive taxes. in
creased freight rates and high labor
costs. He said that in his experience
AS a manufacturer of architectural

higher quality than in the past. citing
this as another justification for higher
costs.

residential building.
Business, labor and the Govern
ment are all eager for the building
program to 60 forward vigorously" Mr..
O'Leary said No one of these ele-
ments wants to obstruct recovery.

ing and retard it, they may be do
