(A(P) The administration again Is consid ering "definite and positive produc tion control" as part of a broad farm program. Secretary Wallace and H. R. Tolley. agricultural adjustment administra tor, msde that disclosure to a house sub-committee In hearings on the agriculture department appropria tion bill, submitted today to the house. Each expressed a belief additional legislation, supplementing the soil conservation act, would be needed to obtain for the farmer his rightful share of the national income. Tolley added, however, he did not know how production control could be legislated In view of the supreme court's AAA decision. (The court held In that case that the federal government could not regulate crop production.) Five-Point Program. The agriculture department, Tolley said, had been studying crop pro duction control as part of a five point program which would be ad ded to soil conservation activities in an attempt to bring farm Income and prices to parity with those of In dustry. The other part that have been under, consideration for two or throe months,' he said, are: 1. Expansion of commodity loans on product held In storage by fsrm ers to keep excess supplies, in years of heavy yields, from depressing prices. 3. Payment to farmers, In addition to soil conservation benefits, for ad ditional acreage reductions In years when supplies become too large. 3. Continued purchase of surplus es to remove them from the market. 4. Speaking of possibilities of as suring farmers stability of income, Wallace said: "I think that a sys tem of commodity - loans, backed in the end by production control that wll sustain the commodity loans, will bring about that stability." Control Seen Needed. 'In order to bo sure that the whole program would not fall down on ac count of an Increase In particular supplies piling up In granaries, the failure on the part of the farmers to make the proper adjustments." Tol ley said, "I feel that there should be provision, If possible, for definite nnd positive production control of spe cific commodities If and when sup plies get out of hand. "It would be our hope, of course, that this last resort of step would be something that would be put Into ef fect only under very exceptional cir cumstances." A bit Inter, Rep. McFarlane (D.- Tex.) remarked: "I would like to hove Mr. Tolley tell the committee how wo are going to approach thft Speaks Tonight Rny McKolg (above) will addrens a public meeting In the First Chris tian church at 8 o'clock tonight.

"I can not answer that" Tolley re plied. "In our minds. It la not at all sure that any of these acts even the soil conservation and the domes tic allotment acts would be upheld by the court."

( AP) Re cording of every family's medical history for diagnostic purposes hold the secret to longevity and freedom from disease, Dr. Maud Slye, noted cancer research scientist, said today. The pathologist, who has studied hereditary cancerous strains In 160. 000 mice during the la&t 26 years, asserted that compilation and study of family tendencies which are passed on from one generation to another and the practical application of them "would In time eliminate cancer." t Cites Mouse Record. "I succeeded through the use of records and scientific breeding in completely eliminating the cancerou strains in many families of mice," Dr. Slye said. "But, this was only possible through bookkeeping." Volumes of records are kept In her laboratory, sketching the hereditary trait from generation to generation. "From these records," she said, "1 can predict with a very small margin of error what will cause the death of every mouse In the laboratory." "Human records should be kept In a central bureau for the use of the medical profession. The government has succeeded in filing the records of some 7,000,000 criminals; the same could be done with family health charts." If human beings could be bred like mice, she said . ca ncer a nd ma ny other diseases would be eliminated in a few generations. Knowledge (.allied. Dr. Slye, who had bred mice through more than 100 generations, said In an Interview that her 30 years of research reveoled: 1. That cancer susceptibility la In heritable. 2. That it la possible to breed out this susceptibility to a given type and location of malignancy. 3. That cancer can be bred into a family by mating with members of families carrying the various types of malignancy. At the same time Dr. Slye offered a three-point program for cancer prevention: 1. Avoidance of intermarriage be tween persons who ore cancerous, or whose famllle hava shown suscep tibility to cancer. 3. Record the medical history of famlile In a central bureau for diag nostic purposes. 8. Recognize cancer as a social, rather than an academic problem with a view toward It elimination from the human race. NOYES REELECTED OF A. P. NEW TORS, April air (API Frank B.
