new DEALS AAA
BECOMES HISTORY

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-tRA.
The Agricultural Adjustment
Agency-Early New Deal Agency
which paid billions of dollars to
farmers for curtailing production
passed into history today.
During the war, the AAA had
spearheaded the governments
drive for increased food production
to meet war needs.
A new super agricultural agency
the production and marketing ad-
ministration having broad powers
to coordinate future government
tai programs affecting the produc-
ton, pricing and marketing of
farm products, takes up where the
AAA leaves off. This new agency
was given the powers and functions
of the AAA as well as a number of
other department agencies and Of
fees.
The thousands of local and state
AAA farmer committees were re-
tanned, and will act as agents of
the new Production and Marketing
administration.
The AAA was created in 1888,
shortly after the late President
Roosevelt took-over in the midst of
depression in which agriculture
faced bankruptcy marketable sur
pluses and ruinously' low prices.
1t was set up by Henry A. Wal
lace, then Secretary OF Agriculture,
under precendent- breaking legisla-
ton which gave the government
authority to control farm produc-
ton.
Its early programs paid cash ben
efits to farmers for blowing under
cotton and for killing fowls and
little pigs. The goal Of these early
programs was to reduce SURPRISES
and to improve the prices and in
come received by farmers.
The AAA played 4 spotlight role
throughout the 30's-a role climsxed
by a decision of the supreme court
in 1896 invalidating crop control leg
islation.
New legislation was passed
under which the AAA could with
approval of farmers voting at ref
BRENDA, set marketing quotas on
individual farmers and TO assess
fines against those exceeding them.
This legislation still is on the
statute books and may be used by
Anderson in dealing with future
crop SURPRISES, should they develop.
In discussing the reorganization
at 4 news conference, Anderson
said the local farmer committees,
members of which are paid on a
per diem basis, will have broader
powers and influence than under
the old AAA, because they will
deal with both production and mar
keting programs.

 Ginger has not revealed the theater of his operations but there are hints of his having served in the South Pacific.

He also escorts everybody in United States Army uniform along the street. tricks he evidently learned in the service. When not thus engaged, he is busy showing his service Tattoo and otherwise lording it over the other dogs of the com munity.

3 BLOOMFIELD MEN
 ARE AWARDED MEDALS
Western Battle Area Exploits Earn Decorations

William J. Greet has been dec- orated with the Bronze Star. Don ald Tetro has been awarded the Purple Heart and Lieutenant Jack Crotty has been given the Air Medal.
 Greet, who resided at 9O5 Blue Hills Avenue, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic ac- hievement in action while serving with the 374th Field Artillery Battalion in France and Tn Ger many. He has been in the service since December 15, 1942 and train ed at Fort Jackson, Columbia sc.
 Neither the occasion nor extent of Tetro's injuries, which merlted his award, is known. It is under stood, however, that he spent some time in a hospital recently for treatment of an eye injury and 1t may be assumed that it was this wound which called for his decora- tion. He is in Germany and now back in action.
 Neither is it known how Lieu tenant Crotty earned the Air Medal. Although this medal IS awarded only for special achieve ment in aerial flight, Crotty char acteristically advises his mother he was given the medal "for not missing Sunday School and not telling a ie." Crotty, a member of the 9th Air Force, completed his 17th mission on March 22. He went overseas in mid-January and reports formerly finding many op- portunities to visit London.
