FR's Forces Frown Upon Borah Plan
Washington reports the Senate validated crop control contracts between the agriculture department and farmers and rejected price fixing provisions in the AAA bill with Byrd amendments. A Byrd measure would require two thirds producer consent for marketing agreements. Roosevelt forces opposed Borah's drive to link Patman bonus and Frazier Lemke farm mortgage bills to tax legislation. The AAA debate included LaFollette quota powers. Barbour proposed printing a not subject to suit clause on bonds. A liquor bill discussion followed.
