Francis Michael Shea for Samuel Estill Whitaker in the Claims Division. Out of Dartmouth and Harvard Law School (1928), Mr. Shea worked on AAA, SEC and Puerto Rican Reconstruction before becoming, in 1936, Buffalo Law School's prodigy dean. His special study is bankruptcies & receiverships, at which lawyers rate him far above his predecessor, the mayor of Riverview, Tenn...
Soon after Henry Wallace tackled the farm problem in 1933 with AAA, the God of Drought came to his aid. Drought as well as subsidy and legal restriction reduced wheat surpluses, corn surpluses, even cotton surpluses. But three years ago Drought began to withdraw its assistance. This year Drought turned its attention (selectively) to the Northeastern States: May was bone dry and July was desert (until rains came last week) and both did plenty of damage to truck and fruit crops. But eastern Drought did not reduce the crops that are Mr. Wallace's big problems...
Caught between AAA pig purges and the historic drought of 1934, the pig population of the U. S. took a mighty tumble. In 1933, when little pigs first got the attention of Franklin Roosevelt's planned agricultural economy, the porker crop was a whacking 84,200,000. For 1935 the crop fell to 55,086,000 and pork prices soared (peak: $10.95 per cwt. in September). Since then the crop has increased every year...
...Approval of AAA II in the tobacco marketing case was another basic shift effected by Mr. Roberts & friends. By distinguishing between the production of farm goods and their marketing, and declaring the latter a proper sphere for Federal control, the historic commerce clause of the Constitution was liberalized and the ancient precedent of Hammer v. Dagenhart abandoned-one of three landmarks which Janizary Tom Corcoran vowed to erase before leaving Washington...
Justice Roberts, having his biggest day in court since he switched over to the liberal bloc in 1937, read yet another opinion of No. 1 significance. Three years ago it fell to him to knock out the New Deal's first AAA, partly on the ground that the U. S. Government cannot constitutionally control the production of farms. Ruling last week on the 1938 Agricultural Adjustment Act, Owen Roberts held for a majority of six that its provisions authorizing Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace to limit the amount of tobacco which any grower may sell do not limit production...
