PAGE FIVE S DROUGHT RELIEF IN FORM OF HELDADVISABLE Hopkins Says Not Good Policy to Give Independ ence Loving Farmers Do nationsFood Not Short MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1934. WASHINGTON, June 7. (AP) A shift In federal drought relief, by which farmers will get paying Jobs In- stead of doles for feed and. seed was presaged today. While President Roosevelt was per sonally asserting It a federal duty to aid those In distress, his relief chief Harry L. Hopkins expressed to con gressmen from affected states a feel , lng that It was not good policy to donate to farmers who had been in dependent all their lives. "We believe It Is better to give them i-cash benefits bo they can make their own decisions regarding feed for their stock and seed for their crops," he said. Keep Crop Restriction. Meanwhile Chester Davis, farm ad justment administrator, apparently checked, a move by the legislators to adopt a resolution asking the farm administration to lift crop restrictions to permit growing of forage crops on contracted acreage. He said the de partment was willing to go that far only when farm leaders and depart ment representatlvca In the field re ported It necessary, Davis said the majority of farmers . In the corn-hog control program re garded their contracts as "serious things' and were not ready to have them abrogated. At press conference, In connection with preparations for his request that congress vote $625,000,000 for drought relief, the president spoke of the tens of thousands of families affected by the drought. There need be no fear of food shortage, however, he empha sised. Many Get Relief. To the meeting at the capitol, Hop kins said his relief agency would be earing for 300,000 families in drought territory by the end of the week and that 150,000 of these were already de riving a- living from work projects. It was explained earlier that the pro gram would Include work on roads, conservation of water supplies, soil erosion and similar projects. He estimated more than a million persona were receiving government benefits as the result of the drought. In reply to a suggestion that the relief administration should not pay too high a wage level In farm areas, Hopkins said he had no Intention of setting up a big public works program "at miserably low wage rates" as long as he was "running the show." He added there would be no "exploitation of the people" because of the situa tion. Under the work program, he said, farmers will be paid a minimum wage of 30 cents an hour, the scale above that to be determined by the states on the basis of existing schedules.
