Cm stall Tribune want axil, Washington, Jan. 1 A Joint congressional commit tee's preliminary recommenda tion for sharp reductions in farm appropriations and expenditures drew fire today from house ag riculture committee members. They were virtually unani mous in their criticism of sug gestions for savings made in a report by the joint committee on non-essential expenditures, es pecially regarding possible cuts in the farm program. Approximately $400,000,000 of the $1,300,000,000 the joint committee said could be shaved from the federal budget during the emergency would come from the department of agriculture or agencies operating through that department. Strong For FSA The committee's recommenda tion for abolition of the farm se curity administration was unani mously opposed oy agriculture committee members who re mained in the capital during the holidays. The FSA has a direct appropriation of $70,500,000 and authority to borrow $120,000, 000 additional. Representative Pierce (D-Ore.) a high-ranking member of the agriculture committee, said he would vigorously resist aboli tion of the FSA and the farm tenant program. "We have done a great deal to rehabilitate the farmer in re cent years, and we must not il low the farm program to be thrown back to where It was In' 1933," he said. ! Would Drop NYA Pierce said substantial savings could be affected by abolishing the national youth administra tion and by sharply curtailing the operations of the civilian conservation corps, the WPA and the public building admin istration. Representative Hook (D-Mich.) said some of the recommenda tions Indicated that the economy committee had not gone into the problem of expenditures thor oughly, and declared it was er roneous to class agriculture ex penditures as non-essential.

The tax would raise $1,200,000 a year, five-sixths of the revenue to be used for old age pensions and one-sixth for vocational education.
