DOLLAR WHEAT GOAL IN G. 0. P. ELECTION DRIVE Republicans Hope to Swing Western Farmers Into Camp by November. BY LEO R. SACK Tim** Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 18.—A drive for dollar wheat by November as a means of helping President Hoover win the west, was vizualized here today by administration politicians. Dollar wheat will constitute the “big break” Republicans are anticipating to help them dispel widespread resentment in western states suffering from agricultural distress and bitter, also, because of a feeling that farm relief pledges made by and for Hoover four years ago have been disregarded. Just before the senate adjourned Saturday night, Senator Howell (Rep., Neb.) angrily charged “after all these months, you have not done one thing constructive for the farmer.” But administration leaders hope to point to the dollar wheat goal as positive denial of this and a similar complaint by western senators. Wheat now is selling around 49 cents in Chicago and 25 to 35 cents on the farm. Export Surplus Is Vehicle The unlimited agricultural surplus export provision of the relief law just enacted by congress is the vehicle with which Republicans hope to bolster the market. This section of the law, placed there by Senator Norbeck of South Dakota at Hoover’s request, withstood two roll call assaults in the senate. It follows: "In order that the surpluses of agricultural products may not have a depressiug effect upon current prices of such products, the corporation (reconstruction finance) is authorized and directed to make loans, in such amounts as may in its judgment be necessary, for the purpose of financing sales of such surpluses in the markets of foreign countries in which such sales can not be financed in the normal course of commerce; but no such sales shall be financed by corporation, if, in its judgment, such sales will effect adversely the world markets for such products; provided, however, that no such loan shall be made to finance the sale in the markets of foreign countries of cotton owned by the federal farm board or the Cotton Stabilization Corporation.” Exemption Is Made Although the relief law prohibits tile Reconstruction Finance Corporation from loaning money upon foreign securities or acceptances as collateral, a specific exemption is mad/ for agricultural, exports. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation now has an authorized capital of $3,800,000,000 and any portion of this sum may be used, in the absence of restrictions, to finance exports of wheat, corn and other farm commodities. President Hoover is said by informed Republicans to have had this in mind when he urged authorization for exports of surplus farm crops. "Don’t you suppose we know what is in the bill?” retorted the politic-ally-minded Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, when questioned as to the prospective operations of the new law. “Is the administration going to use the authorization extensively?”

Borah Has Doubts “Well, we are not going to over'ok any bets.” Watson replied. William Borah, who first Te irritated with President when he concluded that •m relief promises he made in the west in Hoover's name were being disregarded, said this of the new law: “My understanding of the purpose of the section is to endeavor to raise the price of farm commodities, but. I have grave doubts of its ability to do so.” Senator JNorbeck, although aware of the purport of the provision, said he doubts whether it will produce dollar wheat, but he believes an increase of 25 cents a bushel, aside from normal natural recovery, is a possibility. It is expected that the administration's market operations will get well under way during August and September so that the full effects will be apparent early in November, thereby placing western farmers, already happy over an increase in hog prices, in an even happier humor when they go to the polls.

Joan Bondell never has lived in a large house, or even a de luxe apartment—and boasts of the fact. Right now she and her mother are living in a very modest flat. And Joan drives around in a Ford that has seen plenty of use.

TREASURERS TO TAKE PAY CUTS Officials Agree to Action by Legislature. With treasurers of fifty-five counties agreeing to take io per cent pay cuts, the Indiana house of representatives today entered its thirteenth day of the special session prepared to act on bills paring government costs in many branches. Treasurers, at a meeting here Sunday, agreed on the reduction, but demanded, however, retention of the present 6 per cent commission allowed for collection of de.linquent taxes. They also indicated they will oppose any reduction of present penalties for failure to pay taxes when due. A bill is being prepared in the house to place delinquency commissions now received by treasurers in county coffers. Treasurers, because of the commission, are highest paid officials in many counties. The house’s study of retrenchment measures also is centered on a proposed bill of Representative Albert Walsman (Dem.), Indianapolis, providing for blanket salary slices from 5 to 20 per cent for all public employes receiving $1,440 and upward. State’s penal, educational and charitable institutions would receive budget cuts from 15 to 20 per cent, and these reductions largely will be absorbed in salary cuts for employes, under the Walsman measure. Cuts also are contemplated in expenditures of state universities.

CONGRESS' ACTS 'TERRIBLE FLOP,' IS GREEN'S CRY Labor Chieftain Asserts U. S. Legislators Have Made ‘Miserable Failure.’ By United Press ATLANTIC CITY. N. J„ July 18. —The United States faces a “menacing situation” because congress "failed miserably” in enacting unemployment relief measures. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, declared today in commenting on legislation passed by congress before adjournment Saturday night. Green listed these reasons for his criticism: “Because no action was taken on modification of the Volstead act. “Because nothing was done for farm relief. “Because the unemplyoment relief bill is inadequate completely. Green said the labor federation will take drastic measures to insure the election of congressmen “who are in favor of modification and, eventually, repeal. “We face a menacing situation unless a special session of congress is called before next winter,” Green warned. “Riots for food and clothing are certain unless other measures are authorized. “I do not predict revolution. That is not American. But isolated food and clothing riots, like the bonus army in Washington, which situation is purely a matter of unemployment, may lead to greater difficulties.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Here’s the First Mill Through Which Legislative Grist Goes

Back Row (left to right)—Representatives George McCammon. Elwood: Hardin S. Linke, Columbus; Howard S. Grimm, Auburn; Ear] Crawford, Milton; John B. Bold, Evansville, and Ward G. Biddle, Bloomington.

While the eyes of the state are focused on the special session of the general assembly, thirteen legislators representing all walks of life, are arguing and perspiring over the tax relief question. On them—members of the house ways and means committee —rests the burden of killing, amending or passing favorably pn a flood of bills, each with a different solution for the taxation problem.

Front Row (left to right)—Representatives Albert F. Walsman, Indianapolis; Harry Stamp, Roachdale; Sam Benz, English; Martin T. Kreuger, Michigan City; Charles Y. Foster, Carmel, and William C. Babcock, Rensselaer.

These men, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, in a broader sense, come to the capitol building from widely separated parts of the state, to enforce views of their constituency and to build the framework of measures finally to be passed on by both houses of the legisF ture. The committee's work requires hours of debate—sometimes entails personal enmity of members—and

is finished, only in part, however, when bills are passed to the house of representatives for passage or rejection. While Mr. Average ’Citizen last week was spending the hot nights at swimming pools or motoring, this committee sweltered in a tiny statehouse room for hours, arguing merits of taxation bills. Do they like it? “Well,” as one member said, “I'll answer that when it’s over.”

ARMS PARLEY WILL AOJOURN: EXTENDTRUCE Little Advance Is Made in Long Session Toward World Peace. BY STEWART BROWN Vnited Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA. July 18.—The world disarmament conference, the hope of peace lovers, prepared to adjourn today with praise for certain proposals, but with no definite recommendations, the climax of months of discussion and disagreement. The American. British and Italian delegates, did, however, agree to ex- | tend the armament truce suggested by the latter beyond Dec. 1. The preliminary agreement was expected to prohibition aerial bombing of civilians, and to abolish IMison and bacteriological gas warrare and tanks over twenty tons. The American and British j delegates decided to ask the French to accept modified American plans j for limitation of armed effectives and other American proposals already accepted by the British. The attitude of the French was expected to determine the success j or failure of the draft disarmament j resolution. The skeleton of the agreement, i replacing the plan of Edouard Benes, i who failed to mention salient points of the Hoover plan, included: 1. A long preamble praising the | Hoover plan as an aid to consolidating peace. i 2. Suggestions, but no decisions, as

to results that might be achieved in disarmament. 3. A statement pointing out that the suggestions, which will include the American plan for limitation of effectives, are merely the first stage of disarmament. 4. The method to be adopted by the steering committee when resumption of the conference is arranged. 5. Extension of the Armaments truce.
