960 GENERAL FARM PROGRAM 



accordance with the views of tlie peopk' in my State, and for the East- 

 ern seaboard States who are right there now, who say they want the 

 formula written into the law. 



Mr. Wathen. That is, the acreage allotment? 



Mr. CooLEY. That is one of the suggestions, because we have to 

 reduce production. Now in order to get compliance with the produc- 

 tion program I would like to know whether you think it is advisable 

 to impose penalties on the noncomplier? 



And I suggested that you see if you could get together on some 

 formula, or on some method to obtain compliance while you are here, 

 because otherwise when you go home you have not acccanplished 

 what you came for. 



Mr. Wathen. I would be glad to stay here with these gentlemen. 



Mr. White. May I make the observation that if they cannot come 

 to some agreement on penalties for the noncooperator that theh pro- 

 gram will not endure. 



Mr. Pace. The roll is now being called on the floor on the Taft- 

 Hartley Act, and I would like to request that everyone here among 

 the growers be back here at 2:30 p. m. 



(Whereupon at 12:15 p. m., a recess was taken until 2:30 of the 

 same day.)
