Officials search for amendments to strengthen the AAA as the Supreme Court adjourns Monday. The secretary noted the AAA’s legal foundation differs from the NRA’s and may raise different constitutional questions. Wallace signed two milk licenses and a new marketing agreement, plus a license for the evaporated milk industry, showing no plans to suspend the 75 licenses and 37 agreements. Farmers still have legal contracts with the government. AAA officials said no fear of processors failing to pay the wheat processing tax, since the levy is collected by the internal revenue bureau. They reported farmer payments totaling $820,910,744 and a cash balance of $9,000,000 if AAA were ousted.
