There is no market outside the nation I unless we open the markets by loaning billions of dollars to purchasing nations, as we did in 1929. or take foreign goods in exchange.” Amendments t > the AAA, now awaiting signature of President Roosevelt, would be a great stride toward a normal program. Wallace said. He proposed that the govern- ■ ment make loans to farmers at low interest to stoie surplus crops against short years. "If several good years followed, the government naturally would find itself with an over-supply of corn but the situation could he met the same as it is now—a processing tax being levied to pay the farmer to cut his acreage until disposal of the surplus is made.” Prominent Kokomo Manufacturer Dead Kokomo.

WPAWORKERS' STRIKE BROKEN 300 Chicago Strikers Abandon Demands For Higher Wages Chicago, Aug. 22- (U.R) —Three hundred striking WPA workers gave up their demand for a boost In the "security wage” scale today and returned to their jobs. An increase nearly double the administration scale was demanded by the workers ae they left the Whistler tract project In the for est preserve yesterday, but the ' strike was abandoned when a work or starve edict was deliver- 1 ed by works progress adminls- 1 trators. Ralph Burke, deputy administrator, after a conference with a , workers' committee announced that the 14<)-hour month would be , cut to 130 hours. He informed the , strikers, however, that no change In wage scales would be authorised. The 300 strikers, protesting the ( 255 security wage, demanded $107.25, but appeared "perfectly j satisfied” today. Burke said. Support Strikes Albany. N. Y„ Aug. 22— <U.R)— The New York State Federation of Labor voted unanimously today to support strikes against President Roosevelt’s “subsistence wage" on WPA projects. Without debate, the federation. ' in annual convention, adopted a resolution pledging aid to strikers against WPA wages below prevailing rates. The federation also adopted without dissenting vote resolutions protesting "religious and race persecutions” in all foreign countries. o WILL ROGERS’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE mi'lion miles by air and until the time of his death, had suffered only two previous minor mishaps. Once he was jolted a bit and received a few scratches and the oiher time he escaped without a bruise. Despite all the honors and success tha.t came to him. Will refused to take himself seriously. While he delighted in lambasting politicians. he was just as quick to kid himself as anyone else. One time when ‘one of the big universities wrote that it intended to award him an honorary degree because of his “great contribution to the betterment of humanity,” he answered by politely refusing. “I'd prefer to stick to my degree of D. A.," he said. “Doctor of Applesauce." Recently when someone called attention to his greatly increased fan mail, he drawled the following WINS TRIP ON SALES RECORD Harold Lytle Awarded Fine Trip For Ford Sales Accomplishments Harold Lytle, salesman for the | Al D. Schmitt Motor Sales, will leave September 2 for a two week’s trip at San Diego as a guest of the Ford Motor Co. He will spend three days at the Pacific Exposition, Ohl Mexico and the Rocky ; Mountains. Mr. Lytle was awarded the trip by winning the Ford Motor Co. contest for selling the most Ford automobiles in the Indianapolis division during the i month of July. o ■Ejbß' Harold Lytle 1 Friends of Mr. Lytle wish him continued success but Mr. Lytle says the job was not so hard to accomplish, considering the public acceptance of the new 1935 Ford V-8 and his many friends who gave him and Mr. Al D.

explanation: “Sign of better times; more i people have money to throw away on postage stamps.” And one day when he overheard AUce Faye in the studio case tell a friend, "He's about the silliest man I ever met; laughs at any-; thing,” Will learned over and whispered, "better give me his name He’s a good man to try out my jokes on." Lamar Trotti, scenarist. Is one of the few men who can boast of topping the Oklahoma philosopher in a gag. It happened while pre-1 paring the script for “Life Begins a.t 40.” Rogers had a habit of improving dialogue as he went along, memorising lines and then twisting them around to suit himself. But there was one line that

stopped him, and he liccused Trotti of framing b'.m. The situation of the story was in a newspaper office conducted, by Rogers and the proof reader took the comedian to task for misspelling so many words. “When 1 first started out to write and misspelled a few words, people said I was just pla>in ignorant. But when 1 got all the words wrong they accused me of bein’ a comedian and said I was quaint." Which taken by and large, was the story of Rogers in a nutshell, for his daily and Sunday newspaper writings were in a series of misshapen words, but mostly funny. “I’ll read them lines if you want me to,” Will told Trotti, "but peopie are goin' to swear 1 put 'em

in myself to aJibl my had wr-itln'.” A typical example of Rogers’ humor was exhibited a year or two ago when a big rodeo was held in Madison Square Garden, New York City. Wil* could always ha counted on to 4!g Into his pocket for exit ra prise money for the contestants, but on this occasion he also donat'd a rhinestone studded feed hag to the champion “wild” horse of the affair, and It was awarded to ".Maverick." a wild-eyed bundle of dynamite which wouldn't allow anyone to stay on his back for more than a second. "You fellows have been getting paid for the animals' work for years,” he remarked. "It’s about time one of the nags got a break." While Rogers hob-nobbed with the elite of the world and was welcome in palaces of kings and the mansions of millionaires, he got more real pleasure out of rounding 'up a hunch of cowboys and staging and old time barbecue and yarn swapping contest at his ranch in Santa Monica canyon. "I'm just a cowpuncher at heart,” he often said. (Tomorrow—Politics and polo.) ; —: — SPECIAL FUND CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE previous sessions had failed to apI prove will be brought up.
