( AP ) Enactment of legislation
similar in Intent to that proposed
y the McNary Farm bill was
recommended to . congress today
by the new secretary of agricul
ture, Arthur M. Hyde of Missouri,
who said- that such action ap
peared to be the clear mandate of
the country.
Appearing first before the agrf-
eulture committee ot the senate
and later the agriculture commit
tee of the. house, Mr. Hyde em
phatically declared in favor of a
federal farm board' with broad
powers to deal with what he de
scribed as a multitude of prob
lems standing In the way of a
complete rehabilitation of the
farming industry.
Farm Aid Held
Congress Duty
The clear duty of the forthcom
ing special session, he said, was
to pass a bill such as the one In
troduced last fall by Senator Mc
Nary of Oregon, which provided
for. a farm board authorized to
loan money from the treasury to
stabilisation corporations for the
purchase of surplus crops in order
to maintain a constant price level.
In addition, the secretary told
the committees, inland waterways
should be promoted to bring!
about lower transportation costs,
the tariff on agricultural products
should be revised so that the farm
may obtain the fullest benefits
from the protective structure, and
the government's system ot rural
credit should be improved in or
der that the maximum of assist
ance could be derived from these
facilities. " '
