The Bankhead-Jones soil conservation bill clears the Senate Agricultural Committee on a 15 to 2 vote despite Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina voicing constitutional doubts. The measure would authorize the secretary of agriculture to remove 30 million acres from cultivation and extend powers beyond the AAA. Officials from Agriculture Treasury and Justice join in a push to defend the program. Secretary Wallace criticizes the Supreme Court’s order and calls it the most gigantic legalized theft in history.
