FARM RELIEF BY MARCH 4, COOUDGE PLEA President Tells Congress Leadens That He Wants Early Action. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—President Coolidge has notified leaders of both houses congress unoffi cialiy that he wo*‘ld like to have a farm relief bill passed before his term expires. The admonition from the White House has resurrected the move - ment started by Chairman McNary of the senate agricultural committee for a stabilization board bill before the present congress expires McNary introduced the legislation at the start of the session three weeks ago and Secretary of Agriculture Jardine announced a few days ago that he favored immediate adoption of a bill embodying the principles he laid down. No word came from the White House about this proposal. A question arose whether congn**i should follow Jardine’s recommendation or whether it should await the 'coming of President-Elect Hoo*-r. Opposed to Idea While no word came from the President-elect as to whether he indorsed the Jardine proposal, the farm bloc leaders of both houses turned thumbs down on it, already having agreed to submit their nexc farm bill to the new President. Any measure, farm bloc leaders say, will require presidential appointments. The pending Jardine bill requires appointment of a farm board of twelve members by the President. The bloc members fear that Mr. Collidge’s selection for such board would not meet their approval. They would rather await Hoover’s selections. Furthermore, they believe, immediate action regarding farm re-, lief only would fill a gap and avoid an extra session of congress which might perhaps enact a suitable bill. Want Action at Once Against these forces are aligned the old line group, led by Senator Watson (Rep., Ind.), and indorsed by all the inherent Republican organization. These forces have undertaken to negotiate with the present chief executive, to put through a farm bill immediately. They favor the pending McNaryHaugen bill, revised without its equalization fee. They think an extra session of congress is to be avoided if anything can present it. They want to pass a farm bill now and adjourn March 4 until next December, to take up the tariff revision w'hich will be provided by the house before May.

Any one who has been tortured by indigestion need not be told how wonderful it feels to Mrs. Julia Ulveling, 393 N. 6th St., Kankakee, 111., to be rid of this agonizing ailment. ’ She writes: “For twenty years, I was in agony from my stomach. Food wouldn’t digest, but seemed to lie in one solid lump for hours. Gas bloated and pained me terribly. My heart would palpitate and miss beats, and at times I would feel faint and dizzy and everything turned black before my eyes. My kidneys were weak and bothered me day and night.

FATE OF SHOALS BILL UNDECIDED Pocketed by President, but Ruling May Clear It. Bit Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—Mystery of whether President Coolidge vetoed or made the Muscle Shoals bill a law by failing to sign or veto it last spring after congress adjourned was no nearer solution today, after the President had submitted a 90-page memorandum frorfi the attorneygeneral’s office. The memorandum consisted solely of a history of bills presented to Presidents within ten days before adjournment of congress and which were not acted upon Numerous such measures have accumulated, but no court opinion ever has been given to determine whether the bills have been vetoed. A case is pending in supreme crurt w'hich may decide this and a ruling is expected within the next few weeks as to review. If it does review it, many weeks will elapse before a final ruling is rendered. No attempt was made by the at-torney-general in his report to the President to determine whether failure to act was a veto. President Coolidge failed to act not only on the Muscle Shoals bill, but on two other bills. Although no notation is made on any of the bills by the President, a note attached to each bears the wording' “Pocketed 5-29-’28.” BANQUET TO HONOR YELLOW FEVER HERO Dinner Planned Here Jan. 19 in Tribute to Huntington Man.

LINK PAIR £ KILLING Two City Men Accused in Prisoner’s Confession. Two Indianapolis men held in Martinsville jail are said to be involved in the alleged murder confession obtained by authorities from Walter E. Wilson. 19, prisoner at the Indiana state farm. The men are Logan Maines and Jess Squires. Wilson's purported confession alleges that they accom panied George and Howard Wetherington, Cartersburg, and himself, in the holdup of the grocery at Browns crossing in Morgan county last September, when Arlie Bryant, crippled grocer, was shot fatally.

HOOVER PARTY TO HAVE WHITE HOT CHRISTMAS Not One of Snow, but White Tropical Clothes on Utah. BY THOMAS L. STOKES t'nited Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD U. S. S. UTAH, Dec. 21 —President-Elect Herbert Hoover and the party which has accompa nied him on his South Americar tour, will celebrate a “white Christ mas’’ tomorrow. The Utah, carrying the party homeward after a trip of thousands of miles through Latin America, was steaming into equatorial waters today. The “white’’ Christmas on board the American vessel will not be one of snow, but one of white tropical suits, which every one has donned to relieve the burning sun which today poured on the decks of the battleship. Buy Yule Gifts Turkey, cranberry sauce, and all of the usual delicacies which go with the customary American Christmas dinner will be enjoyed by the party. Ice cream, made aboard the Utah and kept at the proper temperature in the refrigerators of the ship, will be the dessert for the dinner. All of the members of the party purchased Christmas gifts during the voyage. Mrs. Hoover and her son, Allan, made most of their purchases while the party was in Lima, Peru. The gifts will be exchanged in the usual way tomorrow morning. Mrs. Hoover has purchased mementos for all of the members of the party and will personally assist in the distribution of Christmas cards which she autographed for each member of the crew. The celebrations will be made complete by a real Christmas tree decorated with glass balls and cotton to represent snow. Some gifts—many of them comical in character —have been hung on the tree already. but the labels—“not to be opened until Dec. 25. ’—have been religiously observed by every member of the party. Hoover Gets Cigars Both the President-Elect and Mrs. Hoover have received many gifts during the tour. The smaller gifts have been brought to their quarters, while the more bulky presents were carefully packed and stored in the hold. One gift which the Presidentelect received in Rio de Janeiro was a dozen boxes of Brazilian cigars—which many consider the finest tobacco in the world. Another of the gifts in Rio was a set of Brazilian historical and economic works which he has already begun to read.

This looks like the old town had gone wild over oil and was drilling right down in the heart of the business district, doesn’t it. Asa matter of fact, the town, Wichita, Kan., has gone wild over oil, but the derrick in one of the main streets was part of a celebration over the recent discovery of gushers near the city. Just a stunt.

The population of Great Britain and Ireland at the end of 1927 was estimated at 48.393,000; an increase of 205,000 over the previous year.
