INSURANCE CO. SUSPENSIONS OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES CHEER CORN BELT FARMERS lowa Governor Urges Assembly to Speed New Legislation to Help Agriculture Go to Work on Spring Plowing. K’l I nilnl Vrrm J)ES MOINES, la., Feb. I.—Harassed farmers of the corn belt looked toward spring plowing today confident that foreclosures on their land have been halted temporarily. The malignant attitude that permeated groups of farmers as they prevented foreclosure sales of recent weeks by sheer strength of numbers was softened. They looked hopefully to the legislature and the incoming administration to speed relief measures.

The cheerful change in farmers’ outlook followed announcement by large insurance companies that mortgage sales have been suspended. The announcements were in line with a proclamation of (Governor Clyde L. Herring urging cessation of foreclosures. ‘I am wry much gratified and pleased with the action of old line insurance companies in suspending mortgage foreclosures,” Governor Herring said today. Whether or not they co-operate with u.s means success or failure of our plan. They promi.sed me their suupport at the start and have steadfastly co-oper-ated." Speedy Legislation Expected Governor Herring said he anticipated speedy legislation "that will clarify the situation to their and the farmers' best interests.” The legislature, pondering an address by Henry A. Wallace, farm editor and cabinet prospect, hoped to have before it today a relief plan evolved by a special committee selected from both houses, Governor Herring met with the committee. The executive suggested to assemblymen that they combine all their various proposals into one bill. Behind this bill, to be drafted by the relief committee, the entire force of the administrative and legislative branches of government will be placed. Wallace Urges Program- - proposed measure, expected to include a two-year farm foreclosure moratorium and repeal of the clause whereby second mortgage holders may foreclose over holders of first claims, may be presented to the assembly this afternoon. Wallace, in his address, hinged relief hopes on a four-point program. It included: il) production control; <2> controlled currency inflation; j <3> debt reduction; <4> manufacture I of corn into motor vehicle fuel. Wallace attributed acuteness of the farm situation to priority of j "selfish interests.” New Group Expression "Bankers, insurance executives, packers, millers and other officials j can not got together to work out ! a relief program that will be best for i them and the farmer,” Wallace told (he legislature. "Each group is too j much concerned with narrow, selfish j interests, and urges the farmer to look somewhere else for relief. As a result, the farmer is in danger of falling victim either to despair to counsel of mob violence.” While farmers poured in telegrams and letters on their representatives in the legislature, a dele- i gation at Woodbine. Harrison coun- j ty, gave anew expression of group : strength. Instead of going to the aid of a i fellow farmer, they defended a landlord and forced the tenant to sign a settlement agreement which they indicated. It was the first time in which a group had sided with a landlord. VACCINATION ACTS AS WHOOPING COUGH CURB More Than 100 Children Protected From Disease. I'm Science Scrricr EVANSTON. 111., Feb, I.—Whoopingcough vaccination has protected ! more than one hundred children j from the disease Dr. Louis Sauer of this city reports to the American Medical Association. During the last four years, about three hundred children, not immune to the disease, were given injections of the vaccine. Os these, 127 were exposed to the disease without any child contracting it. Eight of the children were exposed j to it in their own when older brothers or sisters had the disease. Only one of these had any cough, and in this case the cough was slight, lasted only two weeks, and there was no whooping. A fresh supply of the vaccine was prepared every few months for the treatment by Dr. Sauer's collaborator. Leonora Hambrecht. The vaccine was made from a mlcro-organ-ism known as hemophilus pertussis, thought to be the germ causing whoopingcough. Dr.. Sauer emphasized that commercial whoopingcough vaccines are not desirable and should not be used.

Black and Ross W. Eshelman, states that its purpose is the elimination of "insanitary and dangerous housing conditions.” It sets a maximum rental of S8 a room each month for homes, both apartments and dwellings, which I would be erected under its provisj ions. Creating a slum clearance bureau j of five members to be appointed by ; tthe Governor, the measure empowers it not only to supervise con- ! struction of future dwellings but alsol to direct repairs and other changes for sanitation. Another bill provides that there shall be no contribution to the sinking fund of the school city of Indianapolis during 1933 and the first six months of 1934.

MONOPOLY PRICE ON lODINE IS WRECKED New Plant in California Could Produce Whole U. S. Supply, Py United Pres * LOS ANGELES, Feb. I.—Enough iodine to supply the entire present | American market could be produced at the end of a year’s expansion I program of anew chemical plant recently established here to extract this widely used element from California oil well brines. Its present production is several hundred pounds of iodine a day, but it can be expanded to produce j 350 tons a. year, the present American consumption, if this should prove necessary. The plant already has wrecked the monopoly price maintained by j the Chilean nitrate corporation, j which obtained iodine as a byproduct of its fertilizer roduction. Some months ago the Chilean cor- | poration cut its former price of $4 a j pound to $3: within the last few weeks a further cut was made to the present prevailing price of $1.95 a pound. The new American firm has met all its rival's price cuts, and it is reported that it is able to face any price competition which Chilean iodine may offer. The new firm here is a subsidiary of the Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Mich. Paul Revere Charge Read BOSTON. Feb, 1. —A charge prepared and delivered to brother Masons by. Paul Revere in 1795 was read here recently as part of exercises commemorating the 200th anniversary of the founding of St. John's Lodge of Masons.

FARMERS RAP ROBINSON FOR DEBTS STAND Loss of Billion in Last Year Cited in Attack on Indiana Senator. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—Charging that American farmers had lost a billion dollars in the last year because the unsettled war debts have disturbed international purchasing power, the Wheat Belt Intelligence, a Kansas farmers’ organization, has demanded that congress do something about it. In a letter signed by Clarance W. Robb, director; L. R. 'Winger, committeeman, and C. C. Isely of the advisory board. Senator Arthur R. Robinson (Rep., Ind.) was severely taken to task for opposing the Hoover-Roosevelt debt settlement proposal. "I suppose you know,” the letter stated, ‘‘that from October to Dec. 15, sterling. English money, dropped from $3.48 to $3.14, the lowest quotation ever recorded. Haven't you found out yet that this disturbance to exchange coincided with England’s payment of ninetyfive millions gold, and that the price of corn. hogs, cattle, wheat and cotton declined more than one billion dollars? Fall in Foreign Sales “You say Roosevelt, and I suppose you also mean Hoover, should be interested in the troubles of the United States. Isn't this billiondollar loss to the farmers enough trouble to the United States? ‘‘Haven't the farmers bf Indiana and the west suffered enough because men like you in the senate have been uninterested in the fate of our best customers? ‘‘Don't you know that America sold Great Britain one billion dollars’ worth of goods in 1929, and that those sales dropped to $250,000,000 in 1931? ‘‘We have not seen the latest figures for 1932, but they will soon approach the vanishing point if you keep on. Dropping Wheat Exports ‘‘Do you know that in ’3l, in the six months from July on, our wheat exports dropped to the terribly low figure of only 78.000,000 bushels? And that due to monetary and exchange difficulties, for the same period in 1932, they dropped to 23,000,000 bushels? “Don't you know that all this fiat money and free silver talk arises from the upset in the money systems of Europe due to difficulties in exchange, and that 90 per cent of the exchange difficulties are due to left overs from the war debts and reparations? “When Will You Learn?’* “When will men like you learn? The Republican party, from the days of Hamilton, has been a sound money party and here you are doing everything to upset it. “We know that your excuse is that we farmers and the west are therefore, you must take a false stand. But 48,000 voters in Kansas, on Aug. 2, at our Republican primary, demanded war debt adjustment in the interest of agriculture. “You can't fool all the people all the time.” The Times offers you the lowest Want ad rates of any Indianapolis newspaper, plus concentrated circulation.

Beauty Shop Bill Killed After ‘Racketeering’ Hint

■Reflection Cast on Every Legislator,' Assertion of Galloway. Effort to revive the beauty shop bill in the house of representatives failed today after Representative Fred S. Galloway (Dem., Indianapolis), declared he might be forced “to show up racketeering.’ He asserted that when it is stated that "it costs from $3,000 to $4,000 to get a bill passed." reflection is cast upon every legislator. Organized cosmetologists of the state are said to be supporters of the bill, which the house killed Tuesday by voting indefinite postponement. There was no discussion. Today a motion to suspend the rules lost through lack of a majority, thus preventing further consideration. The bill imposed sanitary and other regulations on beauty sheps. provided for examination and payment of license fees. Similar measures have been defeated in previous sessions of the legislature. * Adopting committee reports, the
