COMPLETE AAA SUBSTITUTE WASHINGTON, May 17.—(UP) — Farm leaders and the Department of Agriculture today completed a sixpoint farm legislative program to take the place of the old AAA. Department of Agriculture officials and officers of the American Farm Bureau Federation were reported in “substantial agreement” on the program and the only point of difference was the cost. The program would employe the principle of the flexible tariff on agricultural imports, guarantee farmers and consumers stabilized prices through an over-normal granary, and provide a positive control of production. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A Wallace and AAA Administrator H. R. Tolley insisted that the program be held to the approximate annual cost of the present soil conservation act, $550,000,000. Other estimates of the cost ranged from $600.000 000 to $800,000,000 a year. Wallace told the conferees that the administration would not agree to such a figure in view of Prcridcnt Roosevelt’s economy program.

Brothers Believed Murdered In Home DEAF FATHER I N ABLE TO GIVE SUBSTANTIAL HELP TO POLICE

CHICAGO, May 17—(UP) Deaf William J. Callahan explained to police today how he sat in his parlor reading his newspaper while in the room above him bullets from a .22 calibre target pistal ended the lives of his two 'teen-aged sons. He knew nothing of their deaths until after a third son, Robert, 9, discovered the bodies of Thomas, 18, and William, 16. sprawled on the bed and floor of their bedroom. Callahan said. Police Capt. Chester Crosby said he was investigating four theories: 1. That William and Thomas were murdered. 2. That they died in a suicide pact. 3. That one of the youths murdered his biother and then committed suicide. 4 That one accidentally killed the other, then took his own life in fright or grief. Motives were lacking, William and Thomas were honor students in Riverside high school where they lived. Neither of them, according to their mother, Hanna, 55, was interested enough in girls to become involved in a quarrel over them. They had no bitter enemies, as far as the parents knew.
