(AP) -A flat endorsement of (lie pro posed "agricultural adjustment act of 1937" by Secretary Wallace to day met Immediately with a slow- town signal from the house agri culture chairman. Wallace asked congress to en act the measure "at the earliest possible date," but -Chairman Jones ill., 'lex.) advised him con gress should have more definite information. I am strongly In favor of I ho principles and purpose of the bill." Wullaco said. In testifying before Jones' committee on the measure, advanced last week by the American Farm Bureau fed eration and other farm, organiza tions. "We've got a pretty good pro gram In effect now," said Jones in reply. 'Should the new program he tied up by Injunction or be held Invalid, we would flpd ourselves without a farm program." Pur-nose, fiiitlinerl Wallace, In his detailed anilorsB-fl ment of tho hill, said it had two fundamental purposes: Safeguarding oE the nulions food supply and protection of the farm income." Officials of the Farm Bureau federation have estimnted the program would cost between $250,. 000.000 and $750,000,000,000 an nually.

TO nillilml'.o wme imciua- tlons in the prices of bnsic form commodities In the Interests of both consumers and producers. 3. To stabilize rarm Incomo as far as possible at a "fair" level. The measure embodies such fea tures as Wallace s "ever-normai grnnnry, commodity lonns, crop in surance, soli conservation and pro duction control. 'With Its protection for farm in como through loans and payments, ihn mnutnrn." the secretary as serted, "embodies the sound prin ciple of economic equality for ag riculture" , Wallace said questions nnoui the measure's constitutionality hnd been raised. "Under present conditions, he snld.
