WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.
—Although farm income in
Indiana was $21,489,000 in November, 1937, as compared
with $22,813,000 in Novembe
r, 1936, the 11-month total,
January through November, increased from $218,920,000 in
1935 and $241,391,000 in 1936
to $266,171,000 in“1937, the
Department of Agriculture reported today.
These totals include Gov-¢ ernment payments and receipts from the sale of principal farm products.
U. S. Payments Rise
Government payments for the 11 months were $19,147,000 in 1935, $8,008,000 in 1936, and $9,615,000 in 1037. Crop and livestock income fot the same period amounted to $199, 773,000 in 1035; $233,383,000 in 1936, and $256,556,000 in 1937. Crop and livestock income in November, 1937, was $21,414,000 and Government payments $75,000. Crops alone accounted for $4,216,000 and livestock $17,198,000 of the November income. That cattle feeding is on the increase in Indiana and throughout the Middle West was shown by an estimate of feeders made by the Department. As compared with Jan. 1, 1937, the number of cattle on feed in the state at the beginning of this year was estimated at 110 per cent. While the rainfall was below normal in all states surrounding Indiana, except Michigan, from September through December, 1937, it was rated at 104 per cent in the Hoosier state by the United States Weather Bureau.
Michigan Rainfal! Normal
Michigan stood at 100 per cent normal, while Illinois fell to 83 per cent, Ohio 91 and Kentucky 82. In 1936 the entire section was above normal from 11 to 34 per cent for the same period, with Indiana at 131. For 1936, Indiana rated 86 per cent normal precipitation, while the 1937 preliminary estimate is 117.
Purdue Conference
Is Nearing Close
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 14 (U. P).—Youths from virtually every section of the state gathered at Purdue University today for the opening of the Older Youth Group Sessions, a closing feature of the annual Agricultural Conference, which has been in session here since Monday.
All previous conference attendance records were broken last night with a total registration of more than 7600. Approximately 200 more were expected today. T. A. Coleman, assistant director of agricultural extension, was principal speaker before the youth meeting. “It is essential that young men and women carry over from their 4-H club days the lessons learned from that work,” he said. He lauded the program to aid Young farm folks who are teo old for club work and who have not yet taken their place in farm and home organizations. M. K. Derrick of the Indiana Farm Bureau spoke on the rela-
tionship between the farm bureau and thq extension service. “The relationship of the farm bureau and the agricultural exten sion department in the development of the rural youth movement in Indiana has been a sincere partner ship of two institutions, conscious of a definite need and eager to extend the service which would be most effective in accomplishing the desired results,” Mr. Derrick said. In a talk before the delegates yesterday, E. R. McIntyre, Wiscon« sin Agriculturist editor, suggested farmers “should not fear experiment until an agricultural program on a pattern suited to America can be worked out.” Richard Blackwell of Franklin was named 4-H Club corn king in the 10-ear class. Ribert Curry of Tipton, son of the international corn award winner, took the singleear event and was reserve sweepstakes winner in the 10-ear class.
BOB BURNS
Says: Jan. 14, — I
don't know whether it's the climate out here or if it's that freshness that you always find about young countries, but there is something out here in the West that seems to give you ambition. People never seem to get too old to plan for the future. Grandma &nd Grandpa Snazzy were out here on a visit not long ago and coon after they got home, they were sittin’ in front of the fire and Grandma says “Well, Snazzy, we've been together for a good many years, but there soon will come a time when one of us will have'ta go.” Grandpa says “Well, there ain't no use worryin’ about that, now” and Grandma says “No, but I was jest thinkin'—when that time does come, I would like to live in California.” (Copyright, 1938)

me touch her body. Then again, after only an hour's sleep, they took me back there at § in the morning.
Taken to Schuler Home
Q-—-Did they make any other threats? A-—Miss Ruth Talley (deputy sheriff) threatened me with the electric chair. “You are going to be electrocuted for this” she said. Q-—Did they ever take you to the Schuler home? A-—Four or five times. One night they took me to the Schuler home and made me sit on a chair over the spot where the child's body was found in the back of the house, with an empty pistol in my hand and a flashlight in my face. Prosecutor Spencer then crossexamined Mrs. Jones and went over with her, statement for statement, the documents she had signed and had her identify them. She made only minor changes in wording.
Not Coerced, She Says
She said she was not coerced by Beech Grove police or by a Beech Grove fireman to whom she made a voluntary statement. She claimed that Sheriff Ray “put in (the statement) just what he wanted to.” More witnesses in the technical battle were to be questioned this afternoon, including Sheriff Ray and some of the deputies.
Mayor Takes Stand
Earlier Charles Adams, Beech Grove Mayor, said he talked with Mrs. Jones in the Beech Grove police station a few minutes after the shooting and that she said to him: “Oh, why did I ever come out here today?” Hubert A. Terrell, Beech Grove fireman, said he talked to Mrs. Jones when she appeared at the police station several hours before she was charged with the crime. “I asked Mrs. Jones what she knew about the shooting.” he testified. “Mrs. Jones said ‘I know all about it, I was there—that woman's crazy. She tried to shoot me'.” Others who took the stand yesterday included Walter Schuler, the dead child's father, and Miss Lena Truett, who testified she heard shots.

The second ruling came when Omer Fory, 617 Sanders St, appeared to appeal a conviction of
failure to stop after an accident. He had filed notice of the intention to appeal, but did not do so within the specified 90 days. Judge Baker ruled that he should serve 30 days on the Farm and pay $256 and costs which had hoon suspended by Judge Karabell on the promise of restitution to the owner of the other auto. Walter Winston, 58, a pedestrian, was seriously injured when struck by a car at Noble and Michigan Sts. One of his legs was fractured. Because police said he had no driver's license, Frank S. Wuensch, 38, of 1509 E. Bradbury St., driver of the car which allegedly hit Mr. Winston, was arrested and his car impounded.

ing a “dummy” Civilian Conserva= tion Corp camp. The extent to which the public hearings before the committee will go appeared to depend upon the testimony of Louis R. Glavis, former chief investigator for the Department. Mr, Glavis' activities have been mentioned frequently in connection with committee disclosures regarding wire tapping. The committee planned to have Mr. Glavis testify today, but was unable to locate him. The demand for Mr. Glavis to testify was made by Senator Steiwer (R. Ore.) after Mr. Burlew said that wire tapping was practiced in the department. Disclaiming any responsibility for the wire tapping, Mr. Burlew said that Mr. Glavis had “hounded and persecuted” innocent employees, Mr. Burlew was questioned at length by Senators about the embezzlement of $84,000 by Reno Stitely, a former voucher clerk in the park service. Testimony revealed that Stitely used an imaginary CCC camp in Shenandoah National Park to obtain fraudulent funds,
Item Veto Reported
Renounced by Committee
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (U. P.) .— Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Va.) today defended his “item veto” amendment to the Independent Offices Supply Bill against bitter bipartisan attacks on the House floor. Speaking after a stormy secret session of the House Appropriations Committe on the provision, Rep. Woodrum took full responsibility for slipping in the amendment giving the President power to reduce or eliminate separate items of appropriation bills. Appropriation Committee members and Chairman Joseph T. Taylor (D. Colo.) said they were pledged to secrecy on the body's actions, but a report ran through the House that the committee had voted decisively to renounce the amendment and ask the Senate to take it out.
Bailey to Discuss
Recession Benefits
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (U. P). —Senator Bailey (D. N. C.) today planned to inject into the Senate filibuster against the antilynching bill a plea for the Administration to foster private enterprise as a business aid. Senator Bailey expected to discuss at length causes of the current recession and steps to curb the decline. He may yield, however, te Senator Glass (D. Va.) if the 80-year-old legislator is able to take his turn in the denunciation of the antilynching measure.
NO EVOLUTION CLASH, CHURCH BOARD SAYS
LONDON, Jan, 14 (U. P)-—A Church of England commission, re=porting after a 15-year study of church problems, asserted today that there was no clash between the story of creation as told in the Book of Genesis and the theory of the evolution of man as worked out by modern scientists, But as to the birth of Christ to a virgin, and as to the authenticity of miracles, the commission divided. The Archbishop of York, two bishops and a number of other dignitaries were members of the commission on Christian doctrine,
BASIC CHANGES IN PROFITS TAX RECOMMENDED
House Subcommittee Asks Exemption for Small Companies.
(Continued from Page One)
4-10 of 1 per cent for each 10 per cent of earnings declared out making possible a reduction of the tax to 16 per cent for a 100 per cent distribution. Exceptions: Corporations earning $25,000 or less to pay a normal tax as follows: 12'3 per cent on the first $5000; 14 per cent on the next $15,000, and 16 per cent on the last $5000. This means an effective rate of 14.1 per cent on an income of exactly $25,000. Corporations with incomes slightly above $25,000 would be subject to a complicated “notch” provision designed to smooth out their jump from an effective rate of 14.1 to 16 per cent or more.
Losses Provided for
Net operating losses: Corporations with a net operating loss for any taxable year beginning
after Dec. 1, 1937, would carry over the loss into the succeeding taxable year and in effect added to dividends paid the succeeding year. The effect would be to permit the corporation to reduce its tax by 4 per cent of the net operating loss. Closely held corporations which are not personal holding companies, carefully defined in the report, would be subject to the 16 to 20 per cent undistributed profits tax and to an additional flat 20 per cent tax after subtracting $40,000 or 30 per cent, whichever is greater, from the remainder,
Note Profits Tax Criticism
Corporations accumulating surplus to avoid high surtaxes would pay higher rates. The present tax of 15 per cent on the first $100,000 of retained net income would be lifted to 25 per cent; and the present 25 per cent tax on all above $100,000 would be lifted to 35 per cent. “Your Committee,” said the report, “has devoted special consideration to the surtax on undistributed profits, since it is a new tax and has been the subject of much criticism. “It is the opinion of your Subcommittee that there will be a very substantial stimulation to business by the enactment of the recommendations of the Subcommittee into law and that they will bring into being a well-balanced tax system, improved in respect to certainty and equity.”

Treasury and deal with the intricate labor problem. But leaders were reluctant to accept the task abandoned by Premier Camille Chautemps when he resigned early today.
Radical Socialists Called
First M. Chautemps refused to try again. Then Edouard Daladier, Radical Socialist War Minister, was called, but also refused. President Lebrun then called Albert Sarraut, also Radical Socialist and former Premier. After the refusals of M. Chautemps, M. Daladier and M. Sarraut to try the Premiership, the President called on Georges Bonnet, Finance Minister in the defeated Government. It was hoped to get a more conservative government leaning toward the Center and away from the Communists and Socialists who bolted the Popular Front. Such a Government probably would include Pierre Etienne Flandin and Paul Reynaud of the Centrist Democratic Alliance, which it was hoped would gain enough support to assure a Chamber majority without the extreme Left. The plan was to include some of the country’s most brilliant statesmen, to foster confidence at home and abroad. While Mr. Sarraut was in conference, the Socialists complicated the problem by making a bid for power. Albert Serol, chairman of the Socialist parliamentary group, demanded another Popular Front government. Sensing the seriousness of the crisis, the Government, through the Bank of France, asked banks not to deal in foreign exchange pending formation of a new ministry. The stock exchange opened courageously but the money market was closed. During the Cabinet interregnum, the Tripartite Monetary Agreement obligates London and New York to aid the franc, because France maintains her adherence to the agreement for joint currency control against undue fluctuation. For the present, the Chautemps Cabinet, at the President's request, continued in office to handle current affairs.
Delbos Cancels Trip; Eden Called Home
PARIS, Jan. 14 (U. P.).—Yvon Delbos, French Foreign Minister, who had been expected to go to Geneva to attend the opening session of the Council of the League of Nations despite the fall of the Chautemps Government, canceled his trip today. His decision was coincident with a call to British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden to return to London for a conference with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Mr. Eden had planned to go direct to Geneva where the real purpose of a meeting with M. Delbos was to discuss an attempt to form a common program of rapprochement with Italy, permitting the French to name an Ambassador to Rome to create an atmosphere which would lessen Mediterranean tension.
League Expected to Delay

Note From China TOKYO, Jan. 14 (U. P.).—The Government is awaiting a secret note from China before releasing a statement of Imperial policy on the Chinese war, it was asserted today
in usually well-informed quarters. The situation as outlined by ine formants was that Japan had sube mitted peace terms to the Chinese Government. It had expected a reply early this week. But, it was asserted, Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, asked for a few days to consider the Japanese demands in detail.
