As in legislation of this latter type, Congress Would
retain a veto over the decisions of the individual
farm groups. These groups could put their programs
into effect by a two-thirds vote of the growers in-
volved.
But it Congress decided within a specified time lim-
it—probably 60 days—that the particular program failed
to fit the over-all agricultural pattern or involved too
large expnditures, it could kill the program by a ma-
jority vote.
Humphrey Has Hand in Plan
Kennedy, who has made it clear in the past that
he does not regard himself as a farm expert, was said
to have approved the principle of the new program after
some rather despairing efforts had been made to draft
an over-all legislative program.
Under the new plan, Congress would be asked to
vote authority to the president — which he in turn
would delegate to the secretary of agriculture — to use
all of the agricultural props now available.
These would include compensatory payments to
growers, direct payments, crop loans, purchases and oth-
ers.
In essence, the new program represents a refine-
ment of proposals offered in previous Congresses by Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey, (D-Minn.). He is known to have
had a hand in drafting the new program.
It has been Humphrey’s viewpoint that if the ad-
ministration did not attack the farm problem in soma
new way it would find itself bogged down — as the pre-
ceding Republican administration did — in congressional
controversy over piecemeal legislation such as that deal-
ing with feed grains.

By Growers
WASHINGTON (IP)— President Kennedy is expected
to ask Congress Thursday to approve a radically new
farm setup under which growers would write their own
crop programs, subject to legislative veto.
Congressional sources said the president will seek
a broad delegation of powers to him and to Secretary
of Agriculture Freeman to deal directly with farmers
in forming programs embracing kindred and compet-
ing commodities.
The farmers themselves would be asked to agree
on the type of federal controls, price supports and other
government props they believe are workable for the
particular group of growers involved.
As an example, growers of wheat, corn, oats, grain
sorghum and kindred crops would be asked to form
their own program. Another group might include pro-
ducers of cotton seed, soybeans and peanut oil.
Congress to Keep Veto Power
The hoped-for result would be to take out of the
hands of Congress the job of having to draft intricate
and controversial legislation covering the diversified
field of agriculture.
I This would apply to the farm problem the same

agencies.
