Judge A. M. Christianson, as chairman of the court of honor committee, presided. The event was given more than the usual color and interest by the initiatory ceremony taking in six tenderfeet boys; by the presence of the Juvenile band in a preliminary concert, and by the fact that the badges und other designations of merit were conferred by Governor George F. Shafer, district Rotarian governor, Roy Bridgeman, of Grand | Forks: the Kiwanis governor, Rosser J. Willis, of St. Paul; and the heads of two local service clubs, Dr. Harry Brandes, of the Rotary, and Worth Lumry, of the Kiwanis. Beginners Taken In Charles Liessman conducted the opening rite of the degrees. This was the induction of the tenderfoot class into beginner membership. The lights in the gym were turned off and three candles lighted on an altar, their glow casting lights and shadows over the ceremony as though it were a camp setting. Twelve scouts indi- vidually lighted that number of other candles as they cited some tenet of | 5. ‘the scout obligation. Then the can- @idates for the tenderfoot degree took the scout oath and were received into the organization in the presentation of tokens of that status by Governor Shafer. These boys were George F.

McKelvie, the wheat the federal farm board, said before the senate agriculture committee to- day that the Farmers National Grain Marketing corporation probably would not be prepared to function as far as effecting the price of wheat ‘was concerned until next year. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon- tana, contended the wheat coopera- tives were largely not farmer-owned but controlled “by a lot of people who are exploiting the farmer just like the grain gamblers are.” The Nebraskan replied the board would see that no cooperatives of that type were admitted into the grain marketing corporation. He explained the board intended to influence farmers to reduce their acreage. control production by getting him to (eda acreage in wheat,” Wheeler “He can influence it,” McKelvie re- plied. “Then the board thinks the prin- cipal object in passing the farm bill was to urge farmers to put in less acreage,” Wheeler asked. The board member replied, “Of course not,” adding he merely had contended “acreage is the first fac- tor in determining the crop.” Brookhart Challenges The right of the federal farm board to make loans to the proposed Farmers’ Nati Grain corpora- ‘tion was challenged by Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, during examina- tion of McKelvie. The Iowan said the farm act authorized the board to make loans to co-operatives and not to corpora- tions, Informed by McKelvie that coun- sel had assured the board its pro- gram for creating the corporation was within the law, Brookhart “I think the board has started out on an illegal basis right at the start. Maybe some of us will have to bring an injunction to test the right of your counsel to advise that.” Forming Corperation Further steps were to be taken to- wards completion of the proposed $20,000,000 Farmers’ National Grain Marketing corporation at a meeting today of Alexander Legge, chairman of the, federal farm board, and three members of the board with a subcom- mittee of wheat growers in Chicago. McKelvie, former governor of Ne- braska; James G. Stone, of Kentucky, and Carl 8. Williams, of Oklahoma, were the trio of farm board members expected to join Legge. It was understood that the farmers’ subcommittee would be requested to consider minor changes in marketing arrangements planned for the mam- moth cooperative organization. Invitations to today’s conferences were sent to Sam H. pres- ident of the American Farm Bureau federation; L. J. Tabor, of the Na- tional Grange; 8. J. Cottington. Stanhope, Iowa; C. E. Huff, of Salina, Kan., and John Manly, of Enid, Okla. Cousin of Telephone BANK IS ROBBED Firing one blank shot to intimidate his victims, a lone bandit held up the Security National bank at Taylor at 12:50 p.m. today, and made away with between $1,500 and $1,800 in currency and silver. The robber entered the bank pre- tending he was going to cash a check. After placing it before H. F. Leutz, cashier, he drew a revolver and com- manded Leutz and M. A. Sevenson, bookkeeper, to lie on the floor. Rushing to the teller’s cage, the robber scooped up all currnecy’ and silver in sight and then commanded Leutz to bring out all that was held in the vault. Leutz brought out $500 in currency and a small amount of silver, which the robber took. Persons on Taylor's front steet saw .|@ new Chrysler roadster drive north out of town shortly after the holdup, and it carried two persons. Officers here expressed the belief that two men were in on the job. The bandit appeared to be exper- fenced in the business, Leutz said this afternoon over long distance tele- Phone to The Tribune. About five minutes were taken in the holdup. He had about two days growth of beard, wore a dark gray cap and khaki cov- eralls, Leutz said. The car which sped out of the city bore a Califor- nia license. Officers who examined the bank in- terior after the affair could find no trace of the bullet which had been fired. They believe the shot was a blank. It was sald officers would check the currency which was taken.:Leutz said many of the bills were of $5 and $10 denomination and had recently been issued by the First National bank of Dickinson. Sheriff's officers have notified all { points to the north of Taylor to be on the lookout for the car and the two men, NEW YORK IN FURORE OVER WIRE-TAPPING LaGuardia Forces Ridicule the Charge They Tapped Mayor Walker's Telephone New York, Oct. 2.—()—Opponents of Mayor James J. Walker in the mayoralty campaign today ridiculed charges that telephone wires serving the executive offices in the city hall had been tapped. Announcment by Charles M. Kerri- gan, assistant to Mayor Walker, that a terminal box in the city hall base- ment had been found broken open and a short piece of wire discovered inside indicating activities of a wire tapper caused a furore in city polit- ical circles. Police Commissioner Whalen as- signed a squad of detectives to the task of hunting for the wire tapper. “If they wanted to find out any- thing about the city’s business they | wouldn't tap the mayor's wire,” Fio- rello M. La Guardia, Republican can- didate for mayor said, “This is cer- tainly a compliment to Whalen’s po- licing. By the time I get ready to go to the city hall on January 1 there probably won't be any city hall left.” STAMP THEFT TOTAL REACHES $187 00 Manila, P. 1., Oct. 2—()—Another Inventor Dies at 71| ttre ve New York, Oct. 2.—(AP)— Charles J, Bell, president of the Nor- folk & Washington Steamship com- pany and director of almost a score k | of corporations, died yesterday at St. ly. water stand- residents of the “hill was almost dry, residents faced a serious. short- was completely isolated. washout caused oy" trans’ were gd hospital.
