The American Farm Bureau Fed- eration undertook this national price survey at the request of the Joint Congressional Investig#ting commis- sion, made up of members of both the house and senate, appointed to inves- tigate the causes of the farmers’ critical economic condition and to devise remedies. The figures, when compiled and presented to the con- gressmen, will show the results of the most extensive statistical inquiry ever undertaken by a farmers’ organ- ization, according to the farm bureau officers. The congressional commis- sion has asked for records showing the price actually paid by farmers for food, clothing, house furnishings, tools and machinery, fertilizers and spraying material, seed feed, building material, fuel and light.

INTEREST IN RACE FOR BUICK CAR INCREASES A A A A s Rescuer Also Collides (By United Press) Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 10.—Twen- ty-four persons, 10 members of the| American Southern Syncopated or-| chestra, were drowned when the liner | Rowan sank off the northwest coast of | Ireland after two collisions yesterday. | Earlier reports of the disaster con-i tained the list of -only 16 missing, in- cluding one American, but it was be- lieved today that the number of vi tims was 24.

The Rowan collided with the American steamer West Camak in the | north ¢hannel early yesterday, and Rushing into the Rowan, which sank immedi-| ately. There was a heavy fog. Both ! the West Camak and the Clan Mal-| colm assisted in the rescue work, | which was carried on with the great- | est difficulty. The British destroyer | Wrestler arrived on the scene and: members of her crew dived overboard and supported victims of the catastro-| phe until boats picked them up. Townley, president of the National NonPartisan league, was scheduled to file an appeal in connection with his conviction in Minhesota courts on a charge of violating Minnesota es- pionage laws during the war. Should the supreme court uphold the decision of the Minnesota tribunals, the Non- partisan leader would have to serve a 90-day. sentence in the Jackson county " What effect the incarceration of Townley might have on the present political fight in North Dakota was a matter of conjectiure today. The re- call election, in which Independe seek to recall Non-partisan state offi cers, is scheduled for October 28. Independents hope to oust Governor | Frazier, attorney general William Lemke and Commissioner of Agri- culture and Labor John Hagen. 1t was believed no decision in the Townley case could be reached in the supreme court before October 28. If is, commitment probably would not take place before that time.
