FOR AM FUTURE
Officials Study Plans De
signed to Forestall Pos
sible Collapse.
Rv ' n* V*>or i * i d Pr^s*.
Growing concern over the future of
tne aaa was expressed by offi
cials inrtax as they pressed rheir studv
of i he Supreme Court s invalidation of
the N. R. A.
No formal comment was foudcom
ing from the Department of Agricul
ture, hui some officials were known to
be devoting almost rheir entire rime
1o working on plans designed to tore -
si all a passible collapse.
While il was indicated yesterday
that rhe A. A. A amendments, when
rewritten, would change only some
phraseology of the original agricul
tural adjustment act, it was believed
today that rhe amendments may in
clude substantial alterations of rhe
present law.
I.icensing Causes Worry.
Causing rhe officials most worry
was ihe decisive language of rhe Su
preme Court concerning delegarion of
legislative powers by Congress.
Through rhe A. A A., the Secre
tary of Agriculture has been given
broad powers in marketing agreements
and license* In some quarters, offi
cials said definitely they believed the
licenses would he unconstitutional
under the Supreme Court's interpre
tation.
Much attention is oeing given to
a study to determine what changes
w 111 be sought in these phases of the
law.
Also. it. was pointed out. tne Sec
retary of Agriculture has wide powers
order the a. A. A. in changing rhe
amounts and rales of processing taxes.
These raxes have been the cause of
some of the moai bit.ier opposition
to the A. A. A Nine suits contesting
'heir validity are pending throughout
'he Narion.
Tate* Held Heart ,vf A. A. A.
If 'he processing taxes are held
unconstitutional,'’ an official said,
'hen rhe A. A. A is sun* end
rnrough. They constitute rhe heart
Of rhe A. A. A."
The opinion was expressed ihat sev
eral months might elapse before the
A. A A. met any deflniie crisis and
official* said rhev hoped manv con
troversial point* might 0e settled by
that date.
Records at rhe A. A A disclose a
'oial ot 59 open cases In various
courts, involving validity of phases of
rhe act. Only one case, a suit, con
lesting validity of the Bankhead coi
ron law. has reached the Supreme
Court. Validity of this law was
upheld indirectly by the fifth Court
of Appeals.
be smashed, bur added that he be
lieved legislation could be framed
which would make N. R. A. stronger
sod more permanent.
ftooaeveH Is Crjati*.
President Roosevelts remarks at his
press conference were, for the most
part, crvptic and enigmatic. It had
been announced that he would not
answer questions on N. R. A., and once
he refused. But when a reporter in
quired as to the threatened coal
strike he changed his intention.
That, he said, was much like many
other problems created by the Su
preme Court’s invalidation of N. R. A.
But. he continued, the real news did
not lie In Washington, but throughout
the cities, lowns and communities
which make up rhe Nation.
He mentioned a resolution adopted
earlier in the day by the cotton tex
tile indiisirv. urging continued observ
ance of the code, and added the
question was what, they could do if
a small percentage of the industry
departed frbm the standards estab
lished by that compact.
