Turner barely has averted a battle between enraged farmers and national guardsmen over enforcement of the state law for tuberculosis cattle testing. The farmers assembled at the big, white farm home of E. C. Mitchell near Tipton, prepared to repulse with shotguns and pitchforks the veterinarians who wanted to test Mitchell’s cattle. Twd companies of troops likewise gathered at Cedar Rapids nearby ready to force Mitchell and his cohorts to submit the cattle to tuberculosis examinations. When it appeared as though

clashes between the fanners and the troop* were Inevitable, Mitchell telephoned the Governor at Des Moines in an effort to settle peacefully demands for repeal of the bovine testing law. Governor Turner replied that he would meet Mitchell and other farm leaders here “in neutral territory" if Mitchell would submit his cattle for examination. Mitchell agreed, the troops were dismissed, the veterinarians went ahead with examination of cattle and Mitchell came here to confer with the Governor, who entrained simultaneously from Des Moines. After a four and one-half-hour closed session with Mitchell and about thirty other farmers, the Governor announced that the law would be enforced until some settlement was reached legally. Mitchell has been the leader of the farmers who insist that the tuberculosis testing of their cattle has ruined their herds and forced them to take large financial losses in cattle destroyed.

FLIERS LEAP AS CAUGHT BOMBS BLOW UP PLANE Explosives Fall in Wjres of Ship; Army Aviators Saved by ’Chutes.’ LANGLEY FIELD, Va., April 14. —Two army fliers engaged in a desperate, silent struggle high in the air to dislodge two bombs which, had become caught in the wires of their plane. Then they escaped in parachutes, late Monday, a few seconds ’before the plane was blown to bits. Captain Robert E. Breene, air corps pilot, and Major Charles A. French of the coast artillery, were dropping bombs into Chesapeake bay during maneuvers with the tactical school. Two high explosive bombs caught

in the wires underneath the plane. Sensing their peril, the two officers shot the craft upward to a great height, executing- a dizzying series of loops* spins and violent dives. The bombs held fast. Again the fliers climbed skyward, subjecting the plane to terrific strain as they endeavored again to shake the missiles loose. To descend would have meant sudden death, as the bombs would have hit the ground before the wheels. To remain aloft almost was equally hazardous, as the projectiles were swinging back and forth like pendulums, knocking together, threatening any minute to explode. Captain Breene righted his plane from anew- series of deadly serious stunts and flew straight out away from the bay and other land. Major French stepped out of the cockpit and leaped straight out from the plane and its cargo of death. Captain Breene adjusted his parachute, quickly deserted the controls and followed. A moment later the fliers, drifting swiftly toward the ground and safety, heard a terrific roar above them.
