AAA CORN-HOG PROGRAM GETS 8-TO-1 BACKING Retention of Adjustment Measure Is Voted by Indiana Farmers. COUNTY BACKS PLAN Midwest Balloting Shows 5-to-l Margin: Returns Incomplete. ’1 imcs Special LAFAYETTE. Tnd., Oct. 28—Indiana farmers registered approval of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration’s corn-hog control program, on a basis of returns from 25 counties, tabulated here today. An 8 to l vote favoring the New Deal measure was shown by votes cast in more than a fourth of the state. This was a striking increase over the 2-to-l approval voted on the first referendum last year. The actual vote for 25 counties, ranging geographically from Gibsot to Lake, was 18,787 for the program and 2114 against. Telegraphic reports were arriving here hourly, and complete state tabulation was expected by midnight. Further division of the votes showed that 16,000 farmers already participating in the program balloted for its continuance. Another 2500 not now under contract voted to follow anew program. Opposing votes were divided between 1500 now participating and approximately 800 non-signers. New Deal Is Cheered 15v Unitrci Prrss The New Deal today had a powerful new peg upon which to hang its appeal to the farm element in the 1936 election. It was an unequivocal sentiment favoring retention of the corn-hog adjustment program next year, expressed by the farmers themselves in a national referendum. Incomplete and unofficial returns from the balloting Saturday indicated the producers of corn and hogs voted at a ratio of between five and six to one for continuation of AAA regulation. Official returns will not be available for a few more days. Preliminary figure from county agents showed 346.000 for the program and 65,505 against if. The AAA is under stout pressure from processors, who charge the act is unconstitutional, and from consumers complaining of the boost in food prices. Favored by County By an overwhelming majority, Marion County farmers voted continuance of th" AAA corn-hog contracts Saturday. While officials are completing a final tabulation, returns from eight townships indicated that of approximately 425 votes cast , more than 375 favored Federal control. Preliminary returns, announced by County Agent Horace E. Abbott, showed a 100 per cent approval vote in Wayne and Warren Townships. Only Pike and Decatur Townships registered more than negligible opposition, each reporting 10 “no” votes. Contract farmers, estimates showed, had voted by an 11-to-l ratio for the program, and noncontract farmers upheld this sentiment 2 to 1. A total of 375 contract holders voted favorably, leaving only 20-odd opposition votes. Likewise 33 of 48 non-contract voters balloted for continuance. Lower Pork Prices Goal Bp I irited Vr< ss WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—A new corn-hog production program for 1936 designed to answer housewives’ complaints against high pork prices was promised by the AAA today on the basis of preliminary returns from the farmers' referendum showing rvn overwhelming majority in favor of Federal control. Henry A. Wallace. Secretary of Agriculture, who had demanded an expression of “strong sentiment” from corn-hog growers for retention of the adjustment contract plan in next year, was gratified by early and incomplete reports showing a voting as high as 8 to 1 in several of the 12 states where baloting occurred Saturday. “The referendum means that the corn-hog farmers of the country will be doing their best to increase hog production next year in such a way as will not bring about excessive overproduction in suosequent years,” Mr. Wallace said. Triple Duties Outlined “They realize their triple duty—to the consumer; the cause of soil conservation; and to the maintenance of a fair income for themselves.” Chester Davis, AAA chief, said the new program would attempt to solve the troublesome problem of what to do about soaring pork prices brought on by the drought and the slaughter of pigs. He said need for increasing the nation's pork supply would be “kept in mind.” Times Index Amusements 2 Births, Deaths 14 Bridge 5 Broun 9 Business News 6 Comics 15 Crossword Puzzle 15 Curious World 15 Editorial 10 Financial U Junior Aviation IS Radio 2 Serial Story 16 Sports 12-13 Stamps 6 Woman's Pages 4-5

Goose Hangs—and Honks—High Over City

'T'HAT noise from the sky that awakened you in the wee hours today was migratory wild geese honking for no practical reason at all. And if you're sensitive to such things you'll have a bad time of it for the next two weeks or so, because it will take them that long to get over Indiana. Nobody but the geese know why they honk, and they don't land long enough in the state to let students find out about them. They 'spend their summers in the Hudson Bay region, and their winters on the Gulf of Mexico and in South America. They have their young in the summer in the North and these are the young flying South. They fly at between 30 and 40 miles an hour and will be at their winter home some time in December.

Fund Drive Is Entering Final Stage Community Fund workers reported subscriptions of 583,650.48, bringing total pledges to $582,115.59, which is 80.3 per cent of the goal. Indianapolis Community Fund leaders expect that donations of more than $540,000, or three-fourths of the goal, will be reported at today’s meeting in the Claypool. Fund Chairman Arthur R. Baxter has announced that a total of $498,465.11, or 68.8 per cent of the $724,360 goal, already has been reached. With the campaign scheduled to close at a final report meeting Wednesday night, the 3000 volunteer workers are preparing to redouble their efforts this week, Mr. Baxter said. Increased relief demands due to the withdrawal of Federal funds from direct relief has necessitated a Community Fund plea that the goal this year be exceeded by $75,000 to SIOO,OOO.

They are not very smart, either. Several years ago they saw some Indianapolis streets that were a glare of ice. The geese decided they were over water and landed. When they landed, expecting to float around in water, they found they couldn’t even walk. They had a terrible time for a while, some of them getting killed by autos, and some managed to get away. Since then they haven't landed in the city, but some observers say they honk particularly loud over it.

SEEK 23-CENT SLASH IN TAX RATE OF CITY Taxpayers Group to Ask Revision of Estimated Revenues. Determination of taxpayers to obtain reductions of the civil city rate from $1.14 to 91 cents was revealed today as hearings on Marion County unit levies were begun before the State Tax Board. Declaring that the City Council had performed a “good job” in making up the 1936 budget insofar jas expenditures were concerned, Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association secretary, declared the 23-cent reduction could be realized by revising the city’s estimate of revenues. He said his organization would not attempt to seek revision of budgeted expenditures. Attempt at an amicable adjustment of the disputed items of the city budget is to be made Wednesday at 9:30 at a conference to be attended by the tax board. Mr. Miesse, \irgil Sheppard.

The geese, estimated at 10,000, were trapoed yesterday when ganders. leading their flight from the Arctic to the Carolinas, unsuspectingly brought their followers to rest on the treacherous currents rs the upper river. Confused by the roar of the cataract, the birds conducted an “endless chain” fight against the waters from yesterday morning until this morning. Swept to the brink of the falls they continually took wing to fly back, once more to rest on the river until carried to the edge. On each rotation the flock was thinned as the weaker fowl were swept over to death and injury on the lower river. Fearing complete destruction of the birds, game officials today

By deciding to hear arguments in December, the high court indicated a procedure permitting a test of the vital AAA cases prior to decision on other suits testing constitutionality of the Bankhead Cotton Control Act. Both issues are to be of greatest importance in the Administration's agricultural program, and involve the philosophy of the entire New Deal.

Ont., Oct. 28—The Dionne quintuplets, 17 months old today, have arrived at that playful age when they think it is great sport to throw blocks and toys at the windows of Dafoe Hospital and listen for the tinkle of breaking glass. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, with a touch of pride in the energy of his charges, said the windows were saved from destruction only by placing boards over them. These are removed only when the children make their “personal appearances” for tourists. The girls next discovered the elec trie-light plugs on the floor and

permitted hunters to shoot them on the theory that the noise of the guns would drive the geese to resume their flight. This strategy, or some unknown factor, sent the birds on their way a few hours after daybreak. Following wildly honking ganders, flock after flock rose from upper river and certain death and headed toward warmer climates. The birds took off in groups of approximately 300. Some 6000 had departed by mid-morning and game officials estimated the river would be cleared by noon. It was estimated that 200 of the birds were swept over the falls. Scores of hunters were grouped at the Maid-of-the-Mist landing below the falls. Many recovered the geese with spiked sticks, while others sent dogs into the swirling currents to pick them up.

HUNGER GOT UNJUST TERM, SAYSM’NUTT Killer Victim of Faulty Sentencing System, Asserts Governor. By Times Special ATLANTA. Ga., Oet. 28.—John Dillinger, the Hoosier farm boy who became one of the nation’s most noted desperadoes, was cited today by Gov. McNutt of Indiana as an example of haphazard sentencing that brings the parole system into disrepute. Speaking before the annual congress of the American Prison Association here, Gov. McNutt declared that more effective parole can come only with better understanding of the particular duties and responsibilities of parole officials. “They can not be expected to overcome bungling prison management,” he said. In citing the Dillinger case, Gov. McNutt pointed out that the associate in the crime which sent Dillinger to prison—an older man—had served a previous sentence. “An Obvious Injustice” “But the associate received a rather mild, Indeterminate sentence, while Dillinger was give a flat 10year sentence,” the Governor said. “There is no question whatever that this obvious injustice had much to do with the bitterness Dillinger developed. A mistake by a court probably made Dillinger what he was.” Gov. MrNutt said further: ‘‘l can illustrate the short-comings of sentencing best if I cite the results of a study recently published by the Indiana State Committee on governmental economy. This committee made an analysis of the sentences imposed upon men in the Indiana Reformatory and the Indiana State Prison. Amazing irregu’arities were revealed.

Italy’s Northern Army Awaits Order to Attack Drive Into Ethiopia Expected to Start Some Time Today, Anniversary of Fascist March. BY WEBB MILLER (Copyright, 1935. by United Press) WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY, Via Asmara, Oct. 28.—The thirteenth anniversary of the Fascist March on Rome finds Italy embarked on its project for the creation of anew Roman empire, of which Premier Benito Mussolini has spoken ever since his ascension to power.

The Italian army in the north eagerly awaited the word to open the second phase of its conquest of Ethiopia with a drive to the south. The day finds Mussolini and the other three of the original quadrumvirate, Gen. Emilio De Bono, Air Marshal Italo Balbo and Count Cesare De Vecchi still in power. It finds the largest and most powerful army ever assembled on a war basis since the World War arid the largest European army ever landed in Africa. Italy has possession of 2500 square miles of Ethiopian territory. More square miles are being added almost daily. The front lines were gay with flags today. Special rations were issued and Gen. Ruggiero Santini's column planted a sculpture of II Duce, executed by his soldiers, at a point farthest toward Makale, the new objective. Anew trunk road from Massawa was dedicated. Bands played and a general holiday spirit was in evidence, with rejoicing over the expectation that the southward drive is about to be renewed.

The league listed these “fantastic” theories: Rural resettlement, Alaskan colonization, subsistence homesteads, the National Youth Administration, NRA jobs, unemployment, the AAA, and monetary policies. Taxation was the subject of the Chamber of Commerce statement. It announced its committee on Federal finance was studying the tax question and would be ready to report next month. 16 Passengers, Crew Drown By United Prrss PARA.

HULL'S REPLY GIVES BRITAIN VITAL NEWS U. S. Statement Destined to Play Important Role. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Secretary Hull's statement of American policy with regard to the League of Nations seems destined to play an important role, not only in settling the Italo-Ethiopian war, but in the European developments which follow. This may sound extravagant. The fact is, however, that Great Britain is on the eve of one of a momentous reorientation, or revivification of policy. And, before making the shift, it has become desirable for her to know exactly where the United States stands. Previously she had sounded out France. And the League of Nations itself.

Britain and France to press vigorously for sanctions. PARIS —France, promising to impose penalties, still hopes for means of peaceful settlement. England Needs American and German Aid for Move, He Claims. By United Press WOLVERHAMPTON, England, Oct. 28.—Great Britain will never approve a blockade of Italy without an assurance of at least sympathetic support of the United States and Germany, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said today in a general election campaign speech. Baldwin pointed out the danger of war inherent in the League's procedure in the cause of peace. Therefore, he said, he would never make i himself responsible even for joint J action under the League without I adequate defense measures. “There is no question of huge ; armaments,” he said. “What we do want and must have is to replace our navy ships constructed before the war with the most modern ones.” “Risk Not Coming Now” The risks that may come from the | fullfillment by the League of its obligations under the covenant will come at some future time, he continued. “The risk is not coming now," he said. Baldwin said the most extreme sanction, which there is no question ; of enforcing at the present stage of | affairs, would be preventing any j goods whatever from entering the I country against w’hich the League i is applying sanctions. Baldwin stressed that Britain ! would not shirk action within the League, but would not “go beyond united action into some adventure of its own.” “Nothing has been farther from our thoughts,” he said. Hope, meanwhile, for early settlement of the Italian-Ethiopian crisis by diplomatic negotiation seemed ended. Great Britain and France are prepared, when the League of Nations penalties committee meets Thursday, to continue the program of penalizing Italy for its war. It was said on reliable authority that the British government believes that if Britain and France push the penalties program with sufficient vigor, penalties can be made an effective deterrent to Italy’s campaign in Ethiopia. Three factors have combined to end any hope that early peace through diplomatic negotiations was possible. 1. Indications that Italy is ready to resume its offensive in East Africa. 2. Premier Benito Mussolini's warning to his Fascists that they must be prepared for "most desperate resistance” to League penalties. 3. British and French determination to apply penalties as soon as possible. Italy’s unofficial peace “feelers** have been found unsatisfactory. The next steps are the resumption of the Italian drive and the selection of a date for the economic boycott of Italian goods and the stoppage of key products to Italy, already voted by the League penalties committee. Nevertheless, though the firit effort at peace has failed, some diplomatic quarters believe that negotiations will be continued.
