Farmers 0kaY
Wheat Quotas
BY the Associated Press

Farmers have voted for the
fourth consecutive year to allow
Uncle Sam to restrict the pro-
duction and sale of wheat.
They approved in a 36-State
referendum yesterday an Agri-
culture Department proposal de-
signed to restrict next years crop
so it will not add to a record
breaking. surplus overhanging
markets and crowding the Ma
tons StorehouseS.
Virtually complete, unofficial
returns gave 228,839 votes for
Federal marketing quotas and
32,767 against.
This was a favorable majority
Of 87.5 per cent, which is far
in excess of the necessary two
thirds. In a similar referendum
a year ago producers voted 77.3
per cent in favor of quotas on
IIllS years crop.
In approving controls, farmers
assured themselves of a national
average price support of So q
bushel on next years production,
the same as last year. Under
farm law, the price support
would have dropped to around
$1.21 a bushel had the quotas
been rejected.
Similar quotas expected to be
proposed for next years crops
of cotton, rice. peanuts and ma
jor types of tobacco as well as
wheat. SURPRISES exist in, all
these crops.
Yesterdays voting-limited to
So major producing States -
showed the usual pattern, with
support of quotas being strong
est in the Midwest and West,
and weakest in the East.
The Maryland vote was 526
to lao in favor of quotas. Vir-
ginia farmers approved. 776 to

the best possible under the cir
cumstances."
The conferees accepted the bill
largely as it passed the Senate.
although the two versions were
not far apart in their main prin-
cipleS.
One major provision of the
compromise bill calls for a u
per cent increase in the social
security tax starting next Janu-
airy l. This would be split evenly
between employer and employe
and would apply on the first
$4,000 of earnings each year.
Thus an individual covered by
social security, and his employer
each would start paying the tax
at the rate Of ga per cent next
year. The tax increase would
total $10.50 for those earning as
much as $4,000 a year. 1t would
be the same for their employers.
Tax Boost Necessary
The tax boost is designed to
finance the new program of ben
efits for persons totally and
permanently disabled at age so.
The first benefits would be paid
next July.
The new age 81 retirement for
women accepted by the con-
ferees involves little or no extra
cost.
This provision for the first
time breaks the IS retirement
age set when social security was
established in 1885.
Under the bill, widows would
be able to get at So the same
retirement payments to which
they now are entitled at SIS.
But working women electing
to go on the social security rolls
at 81 would receive a rate of
payment equal to 80 per cent of
the benefits to which they would
be entitled at age IS. And wives
of retired husbands would get
at 81 only rs per cent of the age
65 payment.
Compromise Settles Dispute
Once they have elected earlier
retirement, these women would
get the reduced rate for the re-
mainder Of their lives. All three
groups of women would be elig-
ible for retirement at 81. start
ing in November.
The other major disputed pro-
vision in the bill was settled by
compromise. This involved a
Senate amendment to increase
Federal grants to the States for
needy aged. blind and disabled.
The Senate plan called for
boosting individual payments by
IS to $3.50 a month. This would
have cost S20S million annually
The conferees Whitfield 1t down
