All AAA farm crop control activi

of the federal farm program.
The Instructions were "'to stop Im

measures on all crops."
The "all crops" reference was In

clude the new potato control act.
The first meeting to discuss the po
tato control act In this county was
scheduled for next Thursday, Janu

in this county the 1930 hog-corn
contract, the 1936-1939 wheat control

NEW DEAL CHIEFS
SPEEO HUNT FOR
AAA SUBSTITUTE
(Continued rom page One.)
AAA .Jones only replied: "We will
welcome any suggestions from any
source."
"We expect to have .jefor the
committee." Jones added, "the vari
ous methods that have been suggest
ed and from these, after careful con
sideration, to prepare the best meas
ure possible to accomplish the
desired end." i
No Hint From F. R.
There was no outward hint of Mr.
Roosevelt's own plan about farm re
lief.
Over a period of time, however,
there was evidence administration
leaders hope the ' nation will reject
the constitutional views of the court's
majority and eventually follow the
course upheld by the minority.
This became Increasingly clear to
day as Roosevelt admlnlstrtlon offi
cials from the White House down
emphasized again and again that the
Justice handed down two opinions
in the case that wrecked AAA. Al
ready Secretary Wal'ar, author of
the phrase. "America must choose.'
has appealed to every family In the
country to study both opinions.
AAA Paralyzed
The whole AAA remained paralyzed.
First definite indications of disinte
gration of Its personnel machine
came today in guarded hints from
some officials that 1.000 to 1.500 per
sons may be dropped within a few
days.
It was reported these employes have
been classified as "temporary" and
have been working mainly with pro
cessing tax and benefit payment rec
ords. The total of AAA workers Is
approximately 6.500.
The whole AAA staff Is working
without pay because the treasury
stopped AAA checks Monday night.
Officials said the-agency's physical
machine would be ket as nearly in
tact as possible pending search for a
substitute.
