A Wall Street official source says a decree by Secretary Wallace will implement the policy, with a possible Congress amendment to protect exemptions from nullification. About 2,000,000 farmers could gain tax relief on production beyond quotas, affecting 6 to 10 million bales of the 1935 quota. Exemptions may be based on farm land rather than individual performance to avoid a rush from small farms.
