Farmers Form Alliance Against AAA Acreage Cuts
Groups of farmers in the Corn Belt form an organization to oppose the AAA plan to reduce crop acreage. They claim they can manage without Washington orders or benefit payments. The movement's size is uncertain and may attract thousands, with Indiana prison escapes and a press censorship probe also noted. Mussolini and Hitler display weapons as a potential strain on their alliance, while rain improves crops after a dry spell and upcoming Indy memorial race looms after Derby.
