NYE IS NOT READY TO DROP EQUALI7ATION FEE Washington, Oct. 21.—(?)—Oppo- sition flared up today within the ranks @f the newly organized group of western Republican senators to the proposal to eliminate the con- troversial equalization fee provision of the vetoed McNary-Hauge-: farm bill in a substitute under consider- ation. Senator Nye of North Dakota, one of the five m_mbers of the western bloc, served notice that he was not ready to abandon the equalization fee in an effort to get a substitute farm bill acceptable to all members of the grou, Substitute Not Found While Senator Borah of Idaho, also a member of the group, has opposed the equalization fee, it had been hoped by the western senators that they might find a substitute which would be accept..ble to hfm, but. Senator Nye insisted today that such a provision had not been found. Senator Brookhart of Iowa, an- other member of the gro. . has been working on a plan which would sub- stitute direct appropriations by the government as a means of raising funds to handle surplus crops in place of the equalization fee. Sen- ator Nye does not favor this in its present form. Meeting Postponed A meeting which had been called for today in an effort to work out the differences of the bloc on the farm relief probl 2 was postponed until Monday because of the inabil- ity of some members to attend. ‘The stand taken b, Senator Nye, which he indicated was shared by indicates that ome time wil! be re- quired in working out the farm problem. The North Dakota sen- ator said that he would not be op- posed to listening to a substitute foe the equalizing fee, but he would have to be convinced of its adaptability before abandoning this point in the vetoed McNary-Haugen bill. Subsidy Not Winted Senator Norris of Nebraska, who is favored as a presidential candi- date by the group, said today that, while he was not wedded to the equalization fee, he had not found a substitute for it so far. He indi- cated little favor toward Senator Brookhart’s proposal, insisting that farmers did not want a direct sub- sidy from the government. The Nebraska senator said that. the group hoped to give an expres- sion of its views on agriculture soon, but he did not believe that the organization would attempt to cen- ter on any one bil. or to draft a substitute. This questin will be taken up at the meeting oi. Monday. | Injuries Cripple North Dakota Team Grand Forks, N.

Prices ] Reduced on Radio Equipment Reduction of 20 per cent in the price of all Atwater Kent radio pro- ducts was announced today by local dealers and distributors, following receipt of a telegram from A. Atwa- ter Kent, president of the company. The reduction is effective immedi- ately, the announcement having been made at the national meeting of Atwater Kent distributors at Philadelphia, and is made possible, according to Mr. Kent, by tremen- dous production facilities which have been put into operation. “It is only right,” said Mr. Kent, “that purchasers should share in the results of up-to-date manufacturing methods in everything. This is a tendency of the times. In our 15. acre factory our production en- gineers and experts since the in- ception of radio have been working out manufacturing economies which smaller factories perhaps could not accomplish, “T! advancements have not only enabled us to maintain but to improve the standard of our products. The new prices are in keeping with the long established Atwater Kent policy of sharing with the public the results of economies as fast as they are put into practical operation.” Scott Gets Contract to Build Park Road Contract for grading a new road around Riverside park, just south of the Liberty Memorial bridge, was svartes to Clarence Scott by the wi 400.

Sinclair gave the senate oil in- vestigating committee brought the Teapot Dome oil conspiracy trial to an abrupt halt today, so far as the jury_was concerned. After a morning session devoted to testimony as to whether the Wyo- ming naval oil reserve was in dan- ger of drainage before Albert B. Fall, as secretary of the interior, leas it to Sinclair, the offering of the Sinclair testimony brought on an argument over its admissibility which attorneys said would last all day and Justice Siddons excused the jury until Monday morning. The progress of the case was in- terrupted continually today by dis- putes between attorneys over the propriety of evidence, particularly that given by K, C. Heald, a geolo- gist, who was represented as having told Fall there was no imminent danger of drainage. Heald’s Report Attacked Heald’s report was introduced, not as evidence of facts, Owen J. Roberts, special oil counsel, said, but. to show what information was be- fore Fall at the time. The defense attacked Heald’s report, and devel- oped that he went to Teapot Dome to check up another report and re- mained there only an hour. At- tempts to exclude the report failed, however, on insistence of Roberts that it was not offered as evidence of facts concerning drainage. Government counsel then offered part of Sinclair’s testimony before the senate oil committee and the jury was excused while counsel ar- gued as to its admissibility. After counsel had disclosed that they would talk throughout the aft- ernoon session, the jury was ex- cused until Monday morning as there will be no sessions of the court on Saturday. DISPARITY IN Waterway Disputes Are Being Settled Says P. J. McCumber Minneapolis, Oct. 21.—(@)—The governments of the United States and Canada are making steady progress in the settlement of numer: ous controversies that have arisen over boundary waters and the time is not far distant when all causes of such disputes will have been elimin- ated, Porter J. McCumber, member of the International Joint Water- ways commission and former North Dakota senator, said here today, Mr. McCumber, who when in the senate was one of the authors of the Fordney McCumber tariff act, ar- rived this morning from Washing- ton, his present home. “Things are going smoothly with regard to the boundary waterways situation,” he said. “The interfia- tional commission, organized in 1919 with three Americans and three Canadian members, has settled a great many disputes over waterways and water rights‘and is continuing to make effective progress. I be- lieve that every dispute between our people and those of Canada can be settled fairly and squarely and it begins to look as though all of them will be adjusted within a few years.” In its investigation of boundary water questions, the joint commis- sion is devoting increasing atten- tion to matters which have a bear- ing on the proposed Great Lakes-St. Lawrence project, Mr. McCumber said, The former senator declined to commit himself in regard to the political situation in Washington or in his former home state, North Da- kota. He went so far as to express the opinion that prospects are good for Republican success, however.

Coulter of Fargo, president of the North Dakt agricultural college, testified today at the interstate commerce conmission’s grain rate hearing here. Coulter Tells Experience «Testifying as a witness for the state government with regard to general farming ,conditions, Dr. Coulter cited some of his exper- iences in operating his private tarm of 800 acres near Fargo. He pointed out that the North Da- kota agricultural college’s experi- mental farm is not operated on a profit basis, but entirely for re- search work. Dr. Coulter’s farm, he admits, is a business proposition, but in spite of scientific diversification, and intensive use of power machin- ery, the price ratio has made it very difficult to do more than pay taxes and mortgage interest on the 800- acre tract, Dr. Coulter's testimony was simi- lar in its character to that offered late Thursday by William Watt, who has farmed in Cass county, near Leonard, N. D., for 48 years. Mr. Watt was another witness for the state of North Dakota and was ex- amined by Stanley B.
