MARKETQUOTAS
Measure Proposed by Texan
Would Give Secretary of
. Agriculture Power to Es
- tablish Selling Limits
Moderator
WASHINGTON, July SI. VP)
Chairman lonti (D., Tex.) ol tlw
house agriculture committee proposed
today new general farm bill em
bracing the ever-normal" granary
and crop production control figures.
The bill, which Jones Introduced
when the house convened, would use
the present Mil conservation benefit
payment and penalty processing taxes
as machinery to eltoct crop oontrol.
It would give the secretary of agri
culture authority to eetabllah a mar
keting quota tor all produce ot
such producta as corn, wheat, cotton,
tobacco and rice. Farmers who aold
more than their quota would be de
nied soU conservation benefit pay
ments, which last year totaled ap
proximately MOO.O0O.00O.
Process Ti Provided.
When the granary threatened to
overflow,' the secretary would havo
authority to establish processing taxes
on the products of which there was
an oversupply.
The tax would be as follows: Cot
ton, two cents a pound; wheat 10
cents a bushel; rice, 10 cents a bush
el, and 36 cents a hundred pounds
on hogs when there was an over
supply of hogs.
(Most of the corn crop la maruet
ed as hogs.)
The measure contained many pro
visions of the proposed "agricultural
adjustment act of 1937." sponsored
by the American Farm Bureau feder
ation and endorsed In principle by
Agriculture Secretary Wallace.
It did not contain, however, a pro
vision for cash payments from the
treasury to supplement growers' In
come when term prices fall below the
"fair" price level. It was this pro
vision of the federation bill that
drew Jones' objection.
The measure alio would establish
a fund for the purpose of disposing
of surplus commodities both at home
and abroad. It would give the ecre
tary of agrloulture authority to file
application on behalf of farmera for
adjustment In freight rate.
Fix Base Acreage.
Th measure would direct the agri
culture secretary to fix base acre
ages for each farm. To be eligible
for soil payment, the farmer could
.. nimt litrror nnrflftae.

press conference when his attention

Mr. ' Roosevelt pointed out that
every navy plane has to do many
hours annually In the air and that
ships burn fuel oil regardless of the
duty to which they are assigned.
The money would have been spent
for these purposes regardless of wheth

The cost to the government was no
greater than It would have been It

FREE TREATMENT
FOR SYPHILIDS
ADVICEOF CHIEF
Half of Present Sufferers
Unable to Pay for Treat
ment Says Surgeon Gen
eral of Health Service
DENVER, July 21. (AP) Public
clinics must liberalize their Indigence
requirement In the case of syphili
tica, Dr. Thomas Farran, - surgeon
general of the TJ. 8. public health
service, told 600 doctors attending
the Rocky Mountain medical confer
ence today.
The health chief, who would like
to see syphilis added to the list of
communicable diseases subject to
compulsory treatment, estimated at
least half of the syphllltlcs of the
country Including 600,000 new ones
a year cannot afford to -pay- for
treatment even at the - minimum
prevailing rates In private practice
Need New Yardstick.
"The same yardstick used In de
termining eligibility for public re
lieffood and shelter la not ade
quate to measure the Inability ot a
syphllltlo patient to pay for treat
ment," Dr. Parran said. '
'Yet all over the land, there are
clinics which will admit only those
psttents who are already on the re
lief rolls.
"State laboratories In a dozen
states will not examine a blood speci
men unless the doctor sending It
certifies that the patient la Indi
gent." The surgeon general told the doc
tors there la only "slight foundation"
for fears the clinical treatment ol
syphilis would Intrude on private
practice. '
"No patient who can pay a pay
slclan is willing to subject himself
to the Inconvenience of a crowded
public clinic. This la true even of
a good clinic. Very few of our clinics
as yet are good clinics, he said.
Some cities Unprepared.
He added that some cities of con
siderable size have no public or ele
mosynary provision for treating Indi
gent cases of syphilis.
Dr. Parran etted the recommenda
tion of the national conference on
venereal disease control that public
clinics be maintained that can care
for these three types ot patients:
1. Any patient for diagnosis and
emergency treatment if Infectious.
2. Any patient referred by a pri
vate physician either for treatment
or for examination, consultation and
return to private care.
3. All other patients unable to
pay private physicians. ,
