ESTABLISHED 1873 - PLANS SUPPORT Towa Agricultural Leader Sees No Hope for Equalization Fee FARM LAWS MUST WAIT Legislation and Tariff Revi- sion Should Be Prepared for Action Chicago, Dec. 12.—()—L. J. Dick- inson of Iowa, mid-western agricul- tural leader and staunch supporter of Herbert Hoover during the recent campaign, today urged the American farmer to lay aside his hopes for an equalization fee arrangement for farm relief, and to give full support to the president-elect’s program ‘for agriculture. The Iowa legislator, speaking be- fore the annual conventien of the American Farm Bureau federation, said the farmers were justified in the conclusion that a special session of congress would be called to carry out pre-election pledges and that ‘icultural relief legislation should ait the action of the special ses- sion. * Mr. Dickinson reviewed the rec- ~ ommendation for farm relief made by Mr. Hoover during the campaign and contrasted the president-elect’s preposals with the recommendatio: made by President Coolidge in his recent message to congress. Wait for Hoover i “In the light of these commit- ments,” Mr. Dickinson said, “it is \my belief and also the conviction of those interested that farm legislation should await the inaug- uration of the incoming president. “The recommendations do not con- tain all of the provisions that many believe essential to make legi: fully effective. However, the eq ization fee provision of the old bi has met most serious objections from able and sincere friends of the cause. “In so far as stabijization of the price can be procured by bargaining power, storage and marketing ma- ¢chinery, the recommendations seem- adequate. There can be no but that in many instances it would be most effective. It seems but rea- sonable that all friends of agricul- ture should therefore join in the de- mand that the recommendations be enacted into law and given a full and fair trial Is Not Surrender “This is not a surrender of any of the principles that many of us have supported. It is an honest experi- ment that will prove one of two con- clusions. Either that the equaliza- tion fee provision is not an essential part of the law—or the lack of such provision will become apparent, and the need supplied by amendment adding either the ,equalization fee provision or such other provision as a substitute the as experience has_shown essen’ s Mr. Dickinson said farm legisla- tion and tariff revision should be prepared for early action in the spe- cial session and that on general prin- ciples it was the “plain duty” of an outgoing president to leave all policy fixing legislation to his successor for the “incoming official is entitled to an unobstructed field.

Clashed on Frontier The spark in the present quarrel between the two countries was a clash on the frontier between P: guayan and Bolivian troops last week but the powder mine already laid was a long standing dispute over a tract of land called Chaco Boreal. It contains 100,000 square miles. Above grou‘s! is a jungle filled with virgin ¥mber. Under- neath is oil. ® Then, too, Bolivia’s desire for ac- cess to the sea enters into the dis- pute, since a river, the Paraguay, navigable for ocean vessels runs along the boundary of Chaco Boreal. Paraguay contends that she owns Chaco Boreal and that she is alone privileged to use the stretch of the Paraguay river for commerce. Bo- livia contends the claim.

He wants to make good, and he can’t unless he has at least an even break with the other fellows.” For the first few days after his arrival in New Haven, a crowd used to gather at the station restaurant where he usually eats his lunch— often sitting on a stool at the coun- ter with others from his office. But a conspiracy of silence stopped that. Now if you ask the manager of the restaurant about John Cool- idge, he will say: “We can’t give out information about our patrons—that’s not busi- ness, you know.” “Not Interested” Ask a waitress if she ever has waited on the president’s son and she will reply, with withering dig- nity: “Being a waitress is a most im- Personal occupation.

With two men under arrest, police today were continuing their search for any anti-American agitators who mi be involved. Fifteen hundred guards will be employed on special duty to insure the safety of the United States president-elect when he arrives to- morrow and during his visit. President Irigoyen in a statement Two girls, both suspected anar- chists, were taken into custody for a time by the Argentine authorities today in connection with their in- vestigation into the recently dis- covered bomb plot which is believed here to have been directed against President-elect Hoover, on the plot said police in searching a house in Estomba street found four hand grenades, two cylindrical bombs, one square bomb, dynamite, revolvers, automatic pistols, quan- tities of ammunition and 150 ten- Peso notes. - The police announced that a room in the raided house contained a de- tailed map of the railway system. Police believe the plotters intended to place the bombs on the tracks on the outskirts of the city just before the arrival of the Hoover special train, Student Made Bombs Police in raiding the house ar- rested a youth who said he was Carlos Gutierez, 18. The authorities said however, that the real name of the youth was Alexandro Romano and that he was 21 but posed as younger in hope of obtaining leni- ency under the minors’ law. They described him as a student of chem- istry and they believed he manufac- tured the bombs. Later a second man was arrested near the house. He gave the name of Jaime Oliver, but police said he was Jaime Castro, a chauffeur. President Irigoyen said: “The president of the republic, being de- sirous of making agreeable the visit of the president-elect of the United States of America and of offering the greatest possible guarantee of safety to the personnel of the il- lustrious visitor, commanded the po- lice to intensify their observations of dangerous elements.” The president added that this or- der had been carried out by the di- vision of investigations which dis- covered the house which was raided, Picking Up Suspects _Although only two men were of- ficially announced to have been are. rested it was generally known today that the police had been active for a week in picking up suspects.

Since the bombing of the National City bank on Christmas eve last year, when two persons were killed and 20 injured, police vigilance in guarding the United States embassy and consulate, the American club and buildings housing American firms has not been relaxed. A bomb was discovered last month on the steps of the Buenos Aires cathedral which is across the street from the Na- tional City bank.
