- RULING OPENS WAY TORUSHFARMAD = Wallace Orders Quick Action After Import Taxes Are Approved. By the Associated Press. The road to acreage reduction was eleared of & major obstacle today and Secretary Wallace directed all resources st speeding application of farm relief. A State Department ruling, follow- ing upon considerable diplomatic con- ferring sbroad and urgent solicitation by Wallace, removed the objection to applying processing taxes on major crops, s0 now & source of funds to| finance comprehensive acreage reduc- tions is avallable. Import taxes to balance the domestic ing levy had been regarded as ible breach of the world tariff truce, t they were pronounced harmiess. ‘Wallace’s first step now is to com- plete the roster of administrators for the many-sided farm act. This will be followed by calls for eommodity meetings to draft polices for each product and to explore pos- sibilities of cutting acreage this year. Serves as Balance. This is how the import tax enters the picture: Using wheat as an example, the farm act provided that if a processing tax of 30°cents a bushel was levied, & com- pensatory import tax of the same amount should be applied to foreign wheat. The present duty on wheat is 42 cents & bushel and an import tax of 30 cents would be added to that and collected by the customs service. The State Department explained that Norman H. Davis, President Roosevelt's Ambassador at large, has discussed im- port tax at Geneva with the foreign representatives gathered there, to ex- plain that while the sum collected would be equivalent to a tariff, its ef- fect would not be the same. It would balance taxes on domestic processors, thus leaving the importa- tions of basic commodities in the same relative position to domestically pro- duced crops as they now bear. “ . Without the processing taxes, Wallace considered any broad program of acreage reduction as impossible. ‘Wallace explained that when process- ing taxes are imposed, their applica- tion will be “gradual, with careful study of their probable effect.” Representa- tives of organized wheat growers have asked that they be applied to wheat by | August 1. Cotton Plan Delayed. ‘The ruling was regarded as having slowed up the prospect of “new farm legislation” proposed yesterday by & group of Southern Senators who called on Wallace and asked that a cotton t program be adopted - b!.l:’:o m:'ixdlwn,ooo.ooo in- ustrial-] ‘worl now dm’, to set .&e $200,000,000 for xfl]lues use, but .:u that ummubemzd Smith said reduction of the planted Your Rugs Cleaned Have you 11' U ghampooed, cleane yopaired and stored by native experts. ‘Work guaranteed— modest prices.

In addition they would be given which Govern- loans . The would be for an amount equal to the estimated production of the area retired from use. They would have the right to exer- cise these options up to January 1, . _Any Lrflce increase from the time the option was arra at the current market price until time 1t was exercised would be an additional reward to farmers for acreage re- duction. Meantime, Wallace’s coterie of ad- ministrators was growing. He expected arrival today of C. A. Cobb, Atlanta farm editor, to take the post of cotton- production administrator. Prof. M. L. Wilson of Montana State College was on the job as wheat-pro- ductjon administrator, They will have chatfe of relations with growers of these commodities. Given Packing Post. Guy C. Shephard of Evanston, Il was selected to direct relations with | packing houses in the case of hog ad- ministration. Shephard, until two years ago vice president of the Cudahy Packing Co., will handle trade agreements with packing concerns aimed to eliminate competitive elements now blamed for having a depressing effect on prices. His efforts to obtain agreements may be extended to cattle and sheep, al- though these are not specifically listed as “basic commodities” in the act, but can be brought under Wallace's powers as_*‘competing products.” Earle Smith, Chicago, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, composed of Farm Bureau units, has been offered the post of corn and hog production administrator, and is ex- pected to accept.

The nomination now goes to the Senate calendar for con- firmation. Note surprising values in Glasses Rimless Glasses Choce of $7 ’45 four shapes of lenses, any single vision. Complete.
