Although disputes may rage among Secretary Wallace, the farm organi- Zations and arm-interested leaders on Capitol Hill, the main features of the measure finally passed are fairly sure to include:
 % %-Continuation of the present \ "soil conservation" program with its crop control program, payments to farmers for allocation of crop land to "soil-building" crops and base acreages for cotton, wheat corn, rice and tobacco.
 0-Revival of the old AAA volun- A tary adjustment programs, in- cluding the system of benefit pay ments, and production goals
 0-An ever normal granary Sys- O tenn under which farmers would store up enough in good crop years to carry the country through lean crop years, with farmers receiving commodity loans conditional on acreage reduction promises. This system would apply to cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and rice and prob- ably other crops.
 IA new policy of attempting to 2 maintain parity income for farmers-an extension of the old AAA parity price" policy. When it IS impossible or seems inadvisable to push prices up to parity" bene- At payments could be paid with the aim of establishing farmer incomes on base comparable with the rela- ton of farmer and non-farmer in- comes in the period 1909-l4. E-Revival of processing taxes, at Q least on cotton and wheat. Roosevelt insists on new taxes to cover any added expense of the new farm program and the whole programs probable cost will be about $500, ,000,0 900 plus the total revenue from processing taxes.
 Urge Compulsory Control
 The most controversial aspect of current pow-wows over farm legis- lation concerns Secretary Wallace's desire that the ceremonial granary be protected from disastrous eXperi- enceS. such as the old Federal Farm Boards, by some form of compul- sory control. His idea is to establish marketing quotas and impose puni- tive fines, say of 50 per cent, on each bushel sold by an individual in excess of quota. Any time the gram ary began to bulge, Wallace con- tends, 1t would be essential to apply some instrument which will prevent the surplus reserves" from becom- ing too top-heavy.
 Other important figures among

Department informed them tha there was already a Santa Fe Ii Indiana. So they had to think III something else, quick. Santa Claul was the next thought.
 Planned to Build "Toyland"
 It was in 1882 that the compli. cations really began. Milton liar. ris, a former Vincennes, Ind, law. yer and salesman, leased from the owners every bit of the land ir and about he unincorporated will lage. His plan was for @ sort oi wonderland toy town" with vari- ous commercial concessions taking advantage of the Santa Claus address.
 Part of this he accomplished with the. result thatt he town now has a patchwork look, the jigsaw toy towns under the guard of wooden soldiers, 8 Candy Castle 8 Northland Park with totem poles, wishing wells, and elves workshops. This development has been halted by the court wrangle.
 That is where Carl A. Barrett, Chicago head of the Illinois Auto club comes ir. Barrett, insisting that he is only trying to free Santa Claus from commercial eXploita- ton, bought up much of the land. But Harris leases stood up in the lower courts despite all efforts of Barrett and some of the farmer owners to break them. The future of Santa Claus now lies in the hands of the Indiana appellate court.
 Auto Firm Bid for Name
 The commercial possibilities that may be at stake are indicated by reports that big auto company tried to acquire exclusive use of the Santa Claus postmark for $l00,000 a year, and that a maker of soft drinks offered $750,000 for a concession that would put Santa Claus back of his product.
 It is Barrett who built the gran- ite monument to Santa, but thus far the courst have upheld Harris claim to the land on which 1t stands, and have forbidden even a postcard likeness of the statue to be sold in the town.
 The painting of the militant Santa with the exsword was Harris contribution. Emil Strauss, the painter, maintains that he modelled his work on Saint Nicho- las, bishop of Myra, who had quite q reputation as a soldier before canonization. It was Mrs. Harris who insisted that the sword come off in favor of a trumpet, in def- erence to local opinion and ancient tradition.
 "Santa Claus" Moves In
 Another attempt to make use of the magic name of Santa Claus was made by Jack Cannon, 8 motor worker of Dearborn, Mich, Cannon had his name legally changed to Santa Claus and set out for his Indiana namesake town. He rented Postoffice Box

There's Less Peace. And Good Will In Santa Claus As Town Gains Fame
Legal Battles and Commercial Wars
 Beset Village
(By NEA service)

Santa Claus, Ind, Nov. l2.- Christmas is already within hailing distance, but peace on earth, good will toward men are not doing so well in Santa Claus.
 This tiny village of 67 inhabit- ants, which became famous some seven years ago when Its unique name was dug out of the postal guide, has learned the price. of fame. ..-..,
 Controversies and at least one bitter legal battle involve the whole village. One man obtained leases on every inch of land in and about he village. Another then bought most of the same land. Their conflicting claims are before the courts. .
 A permanent injunction has halted work at Santa Claus park, partially-ccmpleted as a sort of Northland Playpark and Toy Gen. ter. Even the 40-ton granite statue of Santa Claus ("the only one in the world') stands on dis puted ground.

ing Chairman Marvin Jones of the House Agriculture committee, feel that the old voluntary AAA system will take care of the sit-
 uation and that compulsory con-
 trol tends to encourage foreign competition with agricultural ex- ports.
 Jones, however, agrees that corn- pulsory control is needed for tobac- co, and Wallace is veering toward admission that 1t isn't necessary for all crops. So compromise is likely. But there is still a third group which seems to prefer unlimited production, with full subsidy and some arrangement to dump" sur- pluses abroad.
 Need Court S0mersault
 There are other complicating factors in the background:
 No one in Congress or the ad- ministrati0n appears interested in the fact that measures planned will require . complete Supreme Court somersault if they are to be tOun0 COnStltutlOnSls FUuUc@A c&~ pediencies have become inextri- cably intertwined with farmer needs and problems and the ma tion's need for farmer purchasing power. Cotton brokerage houses and similar interests are more ef- fective behind scenes than is Or- dinarily supposed.
 Conflicts of south and west, along with plans of southern Dem- ocratic leaders to wrest party leadership from Roosevelt, are likely to gum some things up. And, regardless of the intent and con- tent of whatever Congress may pass, pressure groups are almost slure to be able to influence ad- ministration of the new act in ways which will be of no benefit to consumers and taxpayers.

 Annual Deluge of Mail
 For years Santa Claus drowsed beside the rutty highway. Then suddenly, came fame. The post office began to be deluged with in- coming mail addressed to Santa Claus. Mailings from the town which had not exceeded 10000 pieces a year, have risen to 60,0OC day during a two-months' rush go out postmarked Santa Claus"
 Several years ago it was even proposed to abandon the postoffice because of its abnormal busi- ness" But there were thousands of protests, and Postmaster Gen. eral Farley not only decided to keep the office, but ordered all letters addressed to Santa Claus to be sent here instead of the Dead Letter office. Postmaster Oscar L. Phillips does the best he can to answer the letters with the help of his wife. two daughters, and three sons. Three or four extra clerks are put on for the Christmas sea- son.
 Appealing letters came to Phil- lips in the hopset hat he, as rep- resentative of the government, has power to reconcile the conflicting interests which blur the picture of a real. tangible, on.the-map American home for Santa Claus. But Phillips must remain neutral while the courts decide between contestants who put forth their le- gal claims under names like Santa Claus, Inc., and '"Santa Claus of Santa Claus, Inc"

BUDDY oM1NE
BY THE MAN IN THE rowEI
Good Evening.

You were right, Mister William T. sherman, When you uttered that message divine, For only today have laid them away Those two little buddies of mine We had crossed in transport from Gotham, To the land that the papers called France We had buddied together in any old weather Together we'd taken our chance. And many a time in our hiking When unable to crawl, They carried the pack that was slung on my back With never kick at all. Rugged they were, tough and sturdy Though maybe they never would shine In hgh-brow cafe on the rue de Broadway They were genuine buddes of mine. And now that their duty Is finished The thought that IS left to console Is: though they were rough, they were made
 of real stuff
 And each of them harbored soul. So thus whsn the snow fell this morning And keen whip was the air My buddies checked into a fat sergeants grin Who issued me then new pair.
