AAA HOP POLICY
IS CHALLENGED

YAKIMA - An open challenge
to the hop marketing agreement
Of Agricultural Adjustment sd-
ministrstion vas before the dis
triet federal court today in suit
which may determine on a national
scale the future Of the agreement.
The Yakima valley concerns
Lloyd l.. Hughes. Inc. and Yakima
Chief Ranches of Moxee-filed a
suit asking the court TO either;
Declare the agreement uncon-
stitutional. or
0-Restrain Secretary of Agricul-
4 ture Henry Wallace and the
Pacific coast hop control board
from enforcing penalties of the
agreement.
Plaintiffs filed a petition with
Wallace last November. asking him
to modify rulings of the hop con-
troll board. Wallace denied the
petition. and today's action was an
appeal from his decision.
The suit, filed by Elwood Hutch
inson. attorney, was based on three
alleged defects in the law:
THE agreement was attacked
as regulation of production,
whereas. according to the suit, the
federal government can regulate
only interstate commerce.
Discriminatory" regulations
4 by the hop control board.
o-Plsintiffs asserted they were
exempted. because of special
conditions" from conditions i'm
posed by the board.
Hutchinson criticized the agree
ment as not applying to imported
hops. which he termed the main
source of trouble in the industry.
He added that quality of hops was
ignored by the agreements pro-
visions.
when the government says one
fifth of a certain crop cannot be
sold, 1t is actually controlling pro-
duction." Hutchinson declared.
