MESSAGE
Temporary Tax Relief
and Farm Market
ing Problem.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. — Some
form of temporary tax relief and “a.

methods to the legislators them

300,000 Treasury surplus should not
be regarded as warranting a permit

ing the farm relief problem Congress
should shun anything savoring of
price fixing.
The President also suggested that
