Two news men dropped In - on Chester Davis, tine brain man of the AAA. early last week, to find out what. ' would be done to patch up a farm program. Mr. Davis was unhappy. Cong ressmen were barking at him behind their hand about passing any more hairline constitu tional legislation to "counteract" the supreme .1.1 m.m.lon court. Mr. Davis tndlcated he would proceed along makeshift soil conservation lines, but that the new deal authority for such action was purely temporary. It In volved PWA appropriations, etc., etc. Obviously Mr. Davis was sorely op pressed with doubt. The two newsmen oontended the oil conservation act was permanent, not temporary. They told Mr. Davis he might possibly re-lnstltute the entire AAA under It without any lm- nortant sew legislation. Mr. Devi surxed an assistant for a oopy of the act. read it and concluded the news men were right. With some elation, he pushed all buxsers on his desk, called a confer ence, within two hours ths govern ment had a detailed -new farm pro gram and the two newsmen had a COOP. ' ' Note Foremost agricultural au thorities seemed agreed that the new program will permit the government to do virtually everything it did un der the AAA. Only the legal method will be changed.. - It Is undoubtedly , true , hat Mr Devi and his lawyer would have come to the full hidden possibilities of the obscure soil conservation act In due course, but the swiftness of the dlsoovery can be attributed to hi two news friends, although their names will never appear In history.

Veterans organisa tions contended the Immediate out lay would be only 11.000,000.000 The bill goes to the house where speedy acceptance was forecast. Whether or not President Roosevelt will sign the measure was unknown, but leaders flatly predicted it would become law anyway. Forecast Borne Out The senate majority today and tie six to one vote by which the house voted full payment a week ago ap parently bore out that forecast.
