SMALL PRODUCER
IS NOT AFFECTED
BY THE QUOTAS

The wheat producer who grows
only small amount of wheat is not
affected by the wheat marketing
quota, according to r. O. Stelzer
Executive Officer for the AAA in
Maryland. This subject, he said, has
been raised by number of Maryland
growers.
The law sets up production and
acreage standards to specify the size
of the farms exempted. Under these
provisions quotas do not apply to
farms on which seeded acreage is Is
acres or less. Neither do they apply
to farms on which the normal produc-
ton of the seeded acreage is less than
200 bushels.
In explanation, Mr.. Stelzer pointed
out that farmer might have as much
as Is acres of wheat this year and
raise 80 bushels an acre without be-
ing subject to quotas. Or, on the
other hand, he might have 20 acres
of wheat with a normal yield of 8
bushels per acre giving him nor
NAL production of 100 bushels. In
either case there would be no excess
wheat on the farm; and marketing
cards, which must be obtained from
the county AAA office, would be is
sued to anyone having an interest ir
the wheat and wishing to market it
"When Congress drafted the quota
program as a means of meeting the
surplus problem" Mr.. Stelzer said
"it recognized the fact that, in gen.
eral, the small wheat farm markets
little or no wheat and makes CORE.
spondingly small contribution to the
surplus problem"
For farms affected by the quota
the provisions permit marketing Of
all wheat produced on the farm acre
age allotment plus any old wheat car
ried over from previous crops. Only
the normal or actual production
whichever is smaller, of the acreage
in excess of the allotment is sub
ject to the marketing penalty of A!
cents per bushel.
Producers who have such exces:
wheat may avoid or postpone payment
of the penalty by storing the exces:
under bond, or by placing warehouse
receipts for the excess or cash equa
to the penalty in escrow with the
county committee. Or, the farmer
may, if he chooses, turn the excess
wheat over to the county AAA com
mittee for the Government, in accord
ance with Instructions from the com
mittee.

tions."
Taking up the section of the bill
which empowers the government to
manufacture any defense article for
any country whose defense the Presi-
dent deems vital to the defense of the
United States, Mr.. Green said labor
believes the implications of such a
provision and it's possible conse-
quences to our entire national econ
omy to be so vast that there should
be inserted "a proviso that would
fully spell out the desire on the part
of Congress to maintain labor stand
ards and labor's rights unimpaired."
Mr.. Green supported the recon-
mendation for reports by the Presi-
dent and the government agencies by
pointing out that, in the development
of so far-reaching a program as that
contemplated by the Lend-Lease Bill,
it is imperative that the people of the
country be kept fully informed of the
progress made.
On the reciprocity-for-aid amend
ment, Mr.. Green said:
Congress cannot lose sight of the
crucial problem we shall be facing
possibly in short time-when our
nation stands face to face with the
task of returning to normal life and
of dismantling the great arsenal we
shall have built up.
at is only fair to our own people
and equitable to all peoples concerned
that, in return for effective aid we
furnish to other nations, these ma
tions, through a solemn covenant
would pledge themselves to a cooper
ative arrangement which would as
sure an outlet for American goods
in a peacetime world market and thus
provide basis for full employment
to our workers when peace comes"
To guard against chaos and col
lapse at the end of this war, Mr.
Green said, it is imperative that there
be a clearcut formula of full economic
participation by the United States ir
the period of postwar world recon
struction.

Designation of Lieut.. Col. Russell B.
Patterson as Adjutant General of the
Fifth Corps Area, succeeding Colonel
Samuel G. Talbot, who has been
transferred to Washington, was an
nounced today at Headquarters, Fifth
Corps Area, Fort Hayes, Ohio, by
Brig. Gen. Clement A. Trott, Com
manding General.
Colonel Patterson has been Assist
ant Adjutant General since Septem-
Der when he completed a two-year
Philippines assignment. He first came
to Corps Area Headquarters in the
same capacity in June, 1885, and as
Adjutant General he returns to post
he held from June, 1886, to May,
1888, when he left for the Philippines
and was succeeded by Colonel Tai
bott.
Among Colonel Patterson's duties
will be the direction of all Army re-
cruiting in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and West Virginia, including Flying
Cadet procurement.
The new Adjutant General, now 81
years old, has had long and varied,
educational and military career which
associates say fits him admirably for
the post. Born in Washington, ID. c.,
he holds Science degree from Dart
mouth College and a Masters from
Georgetown University.
Entering the Army in 1912 as a
Second Lieutenant of Cavalry, he was
promoted rapidly, serving with the
18th Cavalry in South Dakota, New
Mexico and Wyoming and with the
First Cavalry in Colorado, Arizona
and California. In 1918, as tempor-
ary Major, he was detailed on the
War Depafth,c = General Staff. Or
dered to France in 1919, he served
successively in the auditing branch of
the General Sales Agents Office in
Paris as Post Quartermaster of Cob
| lentz, Germany, with the Army of
Occupation and as Assistant CD of
the occupation forces.
Returning to the United States in
1922, Colonel Patterson attended the
SdNdify anu CO1llllidllu ana IellcGd
Staff schools and later rejoined his
old regiment, the First Cavalry, at
Fort d. A. Russell, Maria, Texas
After a period as cavalry instructor
with the North Carolina National
Guard, he served with the Historical
Section Of the Army War College
Washington, d. c. He remained there
four years, two years as secretary
until he was ordered to Fort Hayes
O. He was promoted to Lieutenant
Colonel, August i, 1885.
In the Philippines, Colonel Patter-
son was Adjutant General on duty
at Corregidor, large island at the
entrance of Manila Bay and as Har-
Dor Defense Adjutant of Manila ano
Subic Bays.
Colonel Patterson is married anC
has two sons, Kincaid, 6, and Walter
Brown Patterson, II, 4, and a daugh.
ter, Jeanne Beth, now in school in
Washington. His wife is the former
Katharine kncaid of Statesville

ophy" and pledged that the American
Federation of Labor would support
President Roosevelt in his program Of
full aid to Great Britain.
Cali labor asks" he said, "is that
in our efforts to preserve the demo-
cratic way of life as we know it here
in America we protect and preserve
in the process the cherished rights
and liberties that make that way of
life desirable"
The A. F. of l.. secretary-tr treasurer
scored the "effrontery" of those rails
ing the cry that there is labor
shortage and that therefore labor
must agree to work an unlimited num-
ber of hours at straight time, "the
laws providing for time and one-half
for overtime being repealed, ripped
apart or just laid on the shelf"
"Think of it," he said. "Here are
men ready to assert that we are all
out of manpower, that there isn't a
jobless worker to be found anywhere,
that the situation is just as desperate
as desperate can be, while all the
time, as we all know if we keep post
ed, there are 100000 men and women
still unemployed"
Mr.. Meany cited the construction
of the mammoth naval air training
station at Corpus Christi, Tex, as a
splendid example of the type of CO.
operation which organized labor is
giving in the carrying out of the de-
Tense program.
With $4,000 skilled building trades
mechanics required, there were less
than 5000 men available within a
radius Of 300 miles. The Building
and Construction Trades Department
through it's organizational machinery
brought to the job from all over the
nation more than 10000 skilled work
ers, Mr.. Meany related. The gov
ernment was not asked to spend a
penny for transportation.
Mr.. Meany said that no other
agency, public or private, could have
done what the Building and Construc-
ton Trades Department did in pro
ducing so many trained men in such
short space OF time.
Organized labor does not seek
praise, he asserted, but feels that the
record should be kept straight, espe.
cially in these days when there is q
vast amount of unfounded criticism
of labor's cooperation.

Antitrust Suits
(Continued from Page One)

employer groups to restrain trade, its
activities are not subject to prosecu-
ton under the antitrust laws regard
less of whether jurisdictional disputes
or other practices complained of by
Thurman Arnold are involved.
The decision recited the fact that
CONSERVATION arose in the labor move
ment when the Sherman Antitrust
Act which was adopted to break up
big business combines was held by
the courts to apply to labor unions.
After a long campaign, Congress
adopted the Clayton Act in 1914 to
exempt labor from the application of
the Sherman Act, but the courts
again so interpreted the law that the
status of unions remained in doubt.
Agitation again led to new legisla-
ton and in 1882 Congress passed the
Norris Guardia Act.
Congress in the Norris Guardia
Act" said the Supreme Court deci-
sion, "has expressed the public policy
of the United States and defined its
conception of labor dispute in
terms that no longer leave room for
doubt.
"This was done, as we recently said,
in order to 'obviate the results of
the judicial construction heretofore
given the Clayton Act.
"To be sure, Congress expressed
this national policy and determined
the bounds of labor dispute in an
act explicitly dealing with the further
withdrawal of injunctions in labor
controversies. But to argue, as it was
urged before us, that the Duplex case
still governs for purposes of a crimi-
nal prosecution is to say that that
which on the equity side of the court
is allowable conduct may in a crimi-
nal proceeding become the road to
prison.
at would be strange, indeed, that
although neither the Government nor
Anheuser- Busch could have sought an
| injunction against the acts here chal-
lenged, the elaborate efforts to permit
such conduct failed to prevent crimi-
nal liability punishable with impris-
onment and heavy fines.
"That is not the way to read the
will of Congress, particularly when
| expressed by a statute which, as we
have already indicated, is practically
and historically one of a series of
enactments touching one of the most
| sensitive national problems. Such leg
| islation must not be read in a spirit
| of multilating narrowness.
"The relation Of the Norris-La
Guardia Act to the Clayton Act is
not that of tightly drawn amend
ment to technically phrased tax pro-
| vision. The underlying aim of the
| Norris-La Guardia Act was to restore
the broad purpose which Congress
| thought it had formulated in the
| Clayton Act but which was frustrated,
so Congress believed, by unduly re-
strictive judicial construction. This
was authoritatively stated by the
House Committee on the Judiciary"
In addition to Justice Frankfurter
the majority opinion was concurred in
by Associate Justices Reed, Black
Stone and Douglas. Chief Justice
Hughes and Associate Justice Roberts
dissented and Justice Murphy, who
was Attorney General when the anti
trust suits were started, refrained
from passing on the case.
