approved the proposed substitute for

hope for enactrrient'trf new farm leg-
isll^tion vefy soon. President Roose-
Ygjt jaive added-- auhatance today to
reports that the administration would
seek continued control of production.
Told Senator Norris (R., Neb.) had
as.serted a belief the Supreme court’s .
j AAA decision barred such regulation,
Mr. Roosevelt' said at his press con
ference he hoped the senator was un
duly pessimi.stic.
The president .said a bill is taking
s^hape, but offered no comment on its
contents. He reported he was unde
cided whether tb send Congress a
special message on the subject.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansa.s,
the majority leader, sai<l after a
hincheon with Mr. Roosevelt that
“probably by the end of the week’’ a
new farm bill “will be completed and
ready for submission.”
As the problem of an AA.\ substi
