NEW DEAL UPHELD
|NGOLDCASE RULE
Treasury Sustained by
Court in Liberty Bond Re-
demption Fight.
BY JOHN HI, CLINE.

The New Deal won an important
victory in the Supreme Court today
when the tribunal upheld. the power
of the Treasury Department to call
Liberty bonds for redemption in cur
rency without paying interest to their
maturity date.
The decision was to 3, with Asso-
ciate Justices Stone and Black writing
separate opinions but concurring in
the result. Justices McReynolds,
Sutherland and Butler dissented.
Three suits had been filed against
the Government to recover interest
after June Is, 1885, the date of the
call. on the theory that interest con-
tinued to run on the bonds after that
time because the Government did not
intend to pay the bonds in gold coin
The court ruled in 1885 that the
Government could not be compelled
to pay the principal of the bonds in
gold or its equivalent in currency.
Writing the opinion OF the court
Associate Justice Cardozo said the
three cases presented a single ques-
ton:
Was notice of call issued by the
Secretary Of the Treasury for the
redemption of Liberty Loan bonds
effective to terminate the running o1
interest on the bonds from the
designated redemption date?"
He answered this question in the
affirmative.
The opinion in the gold case was

FARM BILL ACCORD
IN TWO DAYS SEEN
"Horse Trades" Believed
Adding Enough Support to
Bring Passage.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate floor managers for the farm
bill expressed confidence today that a
series Of horse trades" by amend
ments has aided enough support to
bring final approval in two or three
days
The start of the fourth week of de-
bate on the complicated crop control
program found the Senate divided
roughly into three factions, one group
ardently supporting the bill, another
vigorously opposed to it and q third
and larger group objecting to certain
provisions.
It was from this last group that
advocates Of the measure believed all
needed votes had been gained.
The "horse trading" during the de-
bate has brought these changes:
Removal of criminal penalties
fines ranging up to sl00-for failure 20
follow regulations of the Secretary Of
Agriculture, such as keeping records.
An increase in the amount small
farmers may produce and market,
exempt from control features of the
bill.
Liberalization of the basis for de-
termining acreage quotas in areas
comparatively new to cotton and to-
bacco production.
Speeding up payment OF the $780,
000, 900 bonus voted farmers on this
years cotton crop, if compulsory cot
ton control is approved
Removal Of county agents and State
directors of extension as members of
the local, county and State farmer
groups that would administer the
plan.
Consideration of freight rates as a
factor in the formula for fixing par
ity' prices of farm crops. These
prices determine when controls op-
crate and the basis of Government
payments.
An increase of S per cent in the
total supply of corn before controls
would apply.
Several controversial amendments
remain to be decided before a vote is
taken on the bill itself.
One would order the Government
to buy up to 100000 bales of cot
ton in an effort to raise the price of
the commodity to IL cents a pound
This is sponsored by a powerful cot
ton bloc which has won several
amendments.
