Policy shift leaves condemnation duties to states in slum plan
UPI reports the administration asked the Supreme Court to dismiss two test cases on federal condemnation for slum clearance. The move, approved by the Public Works Administration, shifts future power to condemn land to states and subdivisions while the federal role becomes construction funding at about 55 percent loan and 45 percent grant. The action does not affect the ongoing housing program.

Processing Taxes Submitted Again
Washington reports Agriculture Department officials provided a plan for a two year processing tax on 93 farm products aimed at raising 221 million dollars annually. The package would cover about 442 million dollars of the 317 million dollar treasury shortfall cited by President Roosevelt due to the Supreme Court AAA ruling. The plan includes a windfall tax on professors who collected back taxes or avoided payment, expected to yield up to 200 million with a 0 percent gross income tax. Together the measures would bring in about 125 million more than Roosevelt said the treasury needed.
