BILL IS PROPOSED WASHINGTON, Dec. Secretary Wallace suggested oday changes in the Senate arm control bill which he said were needed to "protect the ver-normal prln- iple of surplus control. In a letter to Senators Pope, democrat, Idaho, and McGill, Democrat, Kansas, authors of he bill, the agriculture sec- etary said the measure did lot provide sufficiently large reduction levels before mar- quotas became appli- able to corn, wheat and cot- on. He also suggested changes in provisions of the Jegisla- on. He said estimated cost of he program authorized would range rom $100,100,000 to more than 300.000,000 over ana above the half illlon dollars now being spent 4nder the soil conservation program.

Wallace suggested that the bill ie written so that farmers would whether subsidies, in addition soil conservation payments, would available to them. No Kenveue Provision. He said no provision has been ugge-stcd for raising additional revenue that would be needed under he Senate bill. (President Hoose- yelt has urged that the cost be kept vlthin $500,000,000 or more revenue provided.) The administration farm declined la comment on the House bill, explaining that he hart not been asked by House members for his views on heir measure. Wallace criticized a provision of he Senate bill pertaining to the price adjustment payment of 3 cents a pound on 1937 cotton authorized by the last Congress, He said the neasure would remove a condition hat producers who received such payments must comply with the 1938 cotton adjustment program.

Cause Dissatisfaction. would probably cause considerable dissatisfaction among those vho have been co-o In these jrograms," he the senators. Wallace also suggested that commodity loin provisions of the hill provide for loans of 55 per cent of Jarlty price instead of 85 per cent 'or wheab and cotton. He said that the loan rates were excessively ilgh, prices of these products might be raised out of line with world prices, causing further losses In American export markets. Tiro secretary reiterated his belief Hint Congress should enact processing taxes to supplement Incomes of cotton and wheat growers.

Senator Pope Interpreted. Wai- ace's letter as In "general support" of tho pending bill and said this was "encouraging." Iron Out Differences. "I always have believed," the Idahoan sold, "that we must Iron out some differences on the floor of Senate and then'whip the bill into shape in a conference with the House," Senator McGill Joined Pope In on informal statement- that the letter was "very friendly," nnd both dismissed any idea that it might "retard or Jeopardize" the legislation. The Kansan took issue with Wallace on the la tier's suggest ton that crop surpluses he allowed to mount higher than provided in the bill before marketing quotas were put into effect. "Tlie bigger the supply," he said, "the more money It will lake to handle it.

It seems to me the secretary's plan would add to tlie cost of the program."
