Moss, stating that the Senate Finance Committee had made only a token effort to close the hobby farming tax loophole, toan amendday ment by Senator Lee Metcalf, to effectively close the tax dodge. The farm loss provisions in the committee bill would bring in only $15 million of additional tax revenue, Senator Moss said. Given the magnitude of the hobby farming loophole, this paltry sum makes reform into a joke. But under the Metcalf formula, the fat cat hobby farmer would stop laughing. Fourteen thousand of them would be affected by this amendment, and the Treasury would be $205 million richer. Senator Moss emphasized that the legitimate farmer would not be hurt by this amendment, in fact he would be helped. Legitimate farmers will not have to compete against the tax dodging hobby farmer, Senator Moss said. He said there are thousands of business men who enter and of farming the field deliberately drive up land prices and drive down commod 3 ity prices. They then take these artificial tax losses from their non farm income. The present loophole Is so attractive that farm investments are solicited in advertisements as a means of achieveing a tax loss to shelter non farm Income. Some advertisements are blatant appeals, saying In so many words, Met us buy some cattle for you and we will guarantee you a tax I find such advertiseloss. ments disgusting, Senator Moss said. The amendment would eliminate the attractiveness of hobby farming by limiting the amount by which a farm loss may be used to offset non farm income.

Lloyd as the House prepared to begin debate later this week on legislation extending the program, including a proposed substitute bill shifting control of the program from the federal government to individual states. .A Shes your Fotomate. She by The majority of those who replied to a letter which I sent last week to the 36 members of the Board of Trustees have expressed almost unanimous support for contining the poverty program, Rep. Lloyd But at the same time, said, there is almost unanimous criticism of the administration of the program, especially by the regional office in Kansas City. Of course this gives the proposed substitute legislation added attraction because It would eliminate what board members feel Is excessive suphave ervision and interference by the regional office in the operation he of local CAP program, said. Rep. Lloyd said the substitute bill, proposed last week, would give states the choice of taking over most of the poverty now administered program by the federal OEO. This would include community action, legal services, head start, manpower training and others. He said that he hopes to be able to vote for a workable program. He said members of te House are presently split three ways on the controversial issue, with some favoring a continuation of the poverty program in its present form, some favoring the substitute, and some wholly against the program in any form. I am optimistic that those favoring retention of federal control and supporters of the state - control substitute will work out an agreement which will include turning community action over to the states and retaining the other programs under federal administration, It is obvious Rep. Lloyd said. at this point that both sides will have to strike a compromise if any bill is to be approved. We develop film knows quite a bit about film and developing, so youll find her very helpful.
