...Heard that the House Agriculture Committee had approved, 13 to 8, of immediate action on the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, had laid aside the Curtis-Crisp compromise bill...

Perhaps seventy-five per cent of those with only secondary school education were considered "seriously deficient in general education and general background." The motive for choice of the law by the latter was generally hope of increased salary. Few of them...
