Congress Aims Quick Action on AAA Relief Bill
Washington reports the New Deal pushes rapid passage of a bill to back the agriculture adjustment administration against a possible Supreme Court ruling. The measure, proposed by Secretary Wallace, would shield processors from recovering $824,430,579 paid if taxes are ruled unconstitutional and would extend current levies to December 31, 1936. It also seeks to reinforce marketing agreements for milk, fruits, and vegetables via orders rather than licenses. Farm Administrator Chester C. Davis warned milk licenses may not be enforced in many cases, noting the Blue Eagle decision has dampened the milk program. The administration released figures on benefit payments to farmers tied to processing taxes since May 1933.
