Limmerman Sets FSA Plan to Lease All U.S. Lands
Rep. Orville Zimmerman charged the Farm Security Administration with aiming to lease all United States land under FSA supervision. FSA assistant administrator R. W. Hudgens denied the claim as a misreading of actions in 1939 southeast Missouri. The House subcommittee heard that 250 bootheel families moved to roadsides in a 1939 demonstration, which Zimmerman called a descrediting effort by outsiders. Hudgens said the FSA was responding to unhappy conditions with tenant land leasing to prevent displacement.
