Milnor, general manager of the Farmers’ National Grain corporation, Friday told the senate agriculture ‘committee the organization held 12,- 184,000 bushels of wheat Oct. 31. Milnor is general manager also of the Grain-Stabilization corporation, farm board subsidiary, which bought 329,000,000 bushels of wheat over a two-year period in an effort to keep up the price. The Stabilization corporation still holds 189,656,187 bushels. Milnor was called to tell the details of the operations of the corporations he manages. He receives a salary of $50,000 a year. The life of the farm board may depend upon the results of the investigation of its activities. Its enemies want it abolished or its power sharply curtailed. The board, however, has the support of most farmers’ organizations whose representatives have testified. Milnor said the Farmers National's aim is to get the highest possible price for its farmer-producer members. “Is there anything to the argument that such a single marketing organ- ization keeps the prices down?” asked Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana. “No,” Milnor replied. “Competition among private deal- ers is keen and they try to beat the price down. We hope. to control the market and ask the millers what we want instead of asking them how much they want to pay.” The corporation October 31, owed the farm board $16,185,000 and pri- vate.commercial banks $2,194,000... “It relies on money from the farm board to carry on its operations?” Chairman McNary asked. “Yes,” Milnor replied. Senator Norris. Republican, Nebras- ka, asked why the Farmers National could not have performed the duties of the Grain Stabilization corpora- tion. Milnor replied the law provides for both organizations. He added there {was too much risk in stabilization op- lerations. The loss from stabilization opera- tions under the present set up would fall entirely upon the farm board. Chairman Stone has estimated it at $177,000,000 for wheat and cotton. Milnor said he received the $50,000 @ year from the Farmers’ National. J. M. Chilton, vice president, gets $32,500. ‘W. I. Beam, treasurer, gets $30,000 charge of operations ‘n the north- west $25,000. C. E. Huff, the president, gets $15,- 000, Milnor added. ‘There are 947 employes in all. Milnor said the corporation’s prof- its were more than enough to pay these salaries. In addition, he said, it has paid a divideng of $332,000 to the 27 stock- holders cooperatives. Benedict Elevator royed by Fire Fire which broke out at 9:30 8. m. Friday destroyed the Alex Harcl ko elevator at Benedict, McLean cou! ty, with loss estimated at approxi- mately $20,000, the Bismarck office of the Soo Line Railway was informed. The loss was fully covered by in- surance. All the adult residents of the town, which has a population of about 195, were battling the flames to prevent ‘spread of the fire to the Soo Line depot, not far from the burning ele- vator. Four railroad cars, sidetracked near the elevator, were saved when towns- men removed them with use of pinch bars. The citizens, hampered by lack of sufficient fire-fighting equipment, had little chance to stop the fire in the elevator and concentrated their jefforts in preventing spread of the | flames. | The blaze apparently started from @ faulty furnace. The elevator, which had a capacity of 20,000 bushels, con- tained about 6,000 bushels of grain of different varieties. No one was in the elevator when the fire broke out, the Soo Line office here said. ape Se New Wonderland Is | | Revealed by X-Ray | 8t.

Army, engineers. The three engineers, Colonel R. C. Moore, Major A. W. Snow, and Cap- tain Theodore Wyman, expressed their view in a conference with Gov- ernor George F. Shafer and state highway officials in corinection with’ the public hearing held -here on the plans for the Elbowoods bridge. Highway department officials par- ticipating in The conference were A. D. McKinnon, chief commissioner; Clifford Johnson, bridge engineer; and H. C. Frahm, chief engineer. Would Submerge Bridge The army engineers pointed out that if the dam proposal were adopt- ed, it would back up water in the river as far north as Williston. Back- ed up waters in such a case would) submerge the proposed bridge at Elbo- woods, which is only 40 miles by river and 30 miles in a straight line up the river from Garrison, tentative site for the dam. The army men intimated they would not recommend construction of the Elbowoods bridge to the war de- partment until after the survey for the proposed dam project 1s com- pleted. Governor Shafer declared at the | be expected to take a definite stand ,on the dam project until it was learn- led whether or not the federal gov- ernment was ready to approve the proposal.

M., Nov. 27.—()— Medicine men thanked the sun god Friday for the escape of 600 Navajo and Zuni tribesmen from the snow-swept lower plateaus and prayed for the safety of as many more still facing death by starvation and cold atop “the mesas of Malapais. The sun Thursday melted the snow thrown on the lower coun- try by a blizzard almost a week ago and permitted meny of the tribesmen, marooned on their an- nual pinon nut-picking expedi- tion, to return to the settlements. Deep drifts in the high country, however, still held the secret of the fate of their brethern. Nine persons, four of them children, are known to be dead. Hungry, wet and suffering from frozen toes, feet and hands, the stragglers from the army of nut pickers wandered into the pue- blos. The little village of Zuni was crowded with Navajos last night. Navajos who, ignoring tribal feel- ing, laid down with Zunis and Mescaleros to sleep again on warm pueblo floors. | Three parties, composed of In- dians but headed by white men, were breaking trail to the high mesas in desperate effort to reach the marooned families be- fore their supply of pinion nuts became exhausted. Five wagon loads of food and forage are en route to the atarque, where many of the refugees are crowded into a village built for 300 persons. R. Escape Death on Snow-Swept Plateaus G. Wallace, Indian trader, broke through to Zuni with a truck, gathering 30 Indian refugees on the way. Stockmen of the Zuni region expressed belief A. J. Crockett, formerly of El Paso, Tex., was in one of his several sheep camps. He is the only white man known to be missing. Among the parties forging through deep drifts to the ma- rooned nut pickers are many who are husbands and fathers of the victims. It is the Zuni custom for the men to establish their women and children in the nut camp and then return to their © fields. The Navajos likewise take their families along, but the men, instead of returning to their camps, wait and return with the nuts which they sell at trading posts. The women remain on these trading trips. Very few provisions are ever taken as the Indians depend on an immediate nut harvest for food. The first frost makes the nuts harvestable and it is not until after the frost that the ex- Peditions leave the valleys. Nearly all the Zuni men had returned to the fields and many of the Navajos were down with the first fruits of their harvest when the storm broke last Sat- urday. The women, they said, are protected from the wind only by canvas wagon sheets. The Navajos and Zunis are mud builders and have very little use for tents.

Be APErODe DY The Chinese delegation the council ‘aa nat teonesiats steps be taken to halt an attack which was reported to be imminent ‘at Chinchow, Manchuria. Dr. Alfred Sze said he had been informed of the belief of Nanking that the Japanese emperor has given General Honjo a free hand to possess himself of all Manchuria. Dr. Sze indicated the Chinese armies around the south Manchurian capital are under orders to fight the Japanese if they attack and not to surrender the city. Only if the league and the United States hastens with military or non-military intervention to lay down @ neutral zone or dead- line, he said, will the Chinese retire beyond the great wall. But, he add- ed, this intervention must be imme- diate. While little of the proceedings of the secret session of the council has been made public, it was understood the Chinese realize they will ultimate- lly have to abandon their demand that the council fix a definite date for Japanese troop withdrawals. Strategically and for other reasons, Chinchow holds a place in Manchuria which has enhanced its importance far beyond a simple outpost. Geographically, Chinchow, or Chin Chowfu, is 146 miles southwest of Mukden, and has been characterized as the only open front door to Man- churia. In peace time, it is an important commercial center, with transporta- tion outlets by railroads and sea. In war time, its importance is enhanced by its position as a controlling point for communications into China to th- south, and Mongolia to the west» * northwest. } If Japan should gain contro!
