Cotton, Tobacco and Potato Laws Specified; Due to AAA Death Decision
Washington, Feb. 3.-(AP)-President Roosevelt proposed to congress Monday the "prompt repeal" of the Bankhead compulsory cotton control act, the Kerr-Smith tobacco act, and the potato act of 1935.
In a message to congress, the president said "this recommendation is made because of the termination of the program of agricultural production adjustment" to which "the three acts mentioned were auxiliary."
His terse message came as a surprise to Capitol Hill:
The AAA was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court.
The Bankhead cotton act is in the supreme court for a test of constitutionality on an action brought by Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia.
The administration now is seeking enactment of a substitute farm program to replace the AAA.
