L. Wilson, of Montana State College, Unable to Visit i Governor Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 29.—()— With material he has gleaned from several days of conferences at hand, Franklin D. Roosevelt came Tuesday to the task of putting his views of what is necessary to help the farmer before the house agriculture commit- tee that will act upon them. In the opinion of some of those who are familiar with the series of con- ferences he has held, the president- elect is leaning toward some form of domestic allotment plan to be used in dealing with agricultural surpluses. The outline he gave in his Topeka speech on farm relief methods was construed as an indication some such plan might be contemplated and the advisers whom he called in to coun- sel with him are men who have made @ long study of the plan. One of those summoned, but unable to come, was M. L. Wilson, of the Montana State Agricultural college, who played a large part in working out the so-called domestic allotment lan. _ Under this method, a board would work out an estimate of the amount of agricultural products needed for domestic consumption. For this por- tion of his crop, the farmer would be assured the cost of production. The general details of the system to be employed ably would have to be worked out by either the agri- cultural committees of the house and senate or possibly by the farm board ‘The delegation that came to Warm Springs several days ago from the National Grange favored giving the farm board the power to select the method that eould be used in dealing with agricultural surpluses. The ater with members of the house agriculture committee Tuesday follows extensive study and discussion of the agricultural prob- Jem which took Roosevelt far into Monday night. Henry Wallace, lowe farm editor, and Henry Morganthau of New York, accompanied by Senator Pittman (Dem.), of Nevada and Mrs. Pittman, dined with him and there | vas a long talk about the question after dinner — the third conference Wallace and Morganthau had with the president-elect Monday. A little earlier, he had gone over the legislative program for the short session with Senator Robinson (Dem.), of Arkansas and Bankhead (Dem.), of Alabama, the former the Democratic leader. Robinson said later the senate would not be disposed in the short session to confirm any presidential appointments other than a few excep- tions in cases that were considered absolutely necessary.

INDIANA FARMERS EXPECTED 70 WIN CONTESTS IN CORN International Livestock Exposi- tion At Chicago Ap- proaches Climax Chicago, Nov. 29—(?)—The inter- national livestock show climbed to- ward the climax Tuesday with the field of competition among meat cattle, source of steaks, steadily nar- rowing. Sharing interest with the battle of beeves was the pending announce- ment of 1932's corn king. In steer judging, champions have been selected in only two breeds, Aberdeen-Angus and Red Polled! steer. The former kind, black,| chunky—“much in little’—has domi- nated the stall of grand champion steer since the exposition began at dawn of the century, Red Polls never have come close to this supreme honor. Indiana, which has produced 10 corn kings since the hay and grain show became a regular fixture of the livestock show, was expected by ex- pert students to clinch the title again. L. M. Vogler, Hope, Ind., who wore the crown in 1929 and 1925, is in the open contest with his sample of white corn, and C. E. Troyer, LaFon- taine, king in 1920 and 1927, is ex- hibiting yellow corn, which has taken first in its class. Coronation of the corn princes, junior growers, also was expected to be announced Tuesday. The high spot of Monday's events was the triumph of Herman Trelle, perennial wheat king of America. The crown is becoming part of his anatomy. With a sample of hard spring wheat, he won the title for the third consecutive year. Thomas Smith, Darby, Mont., was runner-up. Other major awards in the crops department of the show Monday were the selection of M. V. Gillett, Lexing- ton, Neb., hay king, and Fred Hamm, Goodfame, Alta., oats king. R. E.

D., Nov. 29—A request that the complaint of Mrs. Esther Johnson of Donnybrook, who brought suit against him to recover $2,000 and for cancellation of two promissory notes for an additional $2,000, be dismissed, is contained in a formal answer by Attorney William Langer, governor-elect of North Dakota, pre- pared by his counsel and served up- on the plaintiff's attorneys. The attorneys in the case, B. H. Bradford, Minot, for the plaintiff, and Sinkler and Brekke, Minot, for the defendant, recently stipulated that the case should be transferred from Ward to Burleigh county for trial. Mrs. Johnson charges that in Oc- tober, 1929, she paid Langer $2,000 to work for the release of her son, Floyd, serving a life term in prison, and gave him two $1,000 notes, to be Paid when and if the son is released. Langer, in his answer, denying many of the accusations made by the plaintiff, declares that he stated to Mrs. Johnson “it was not possible to secure a commutation of sentence un- der present conditions unless the law was changed by the legislature, and that if the law was not changed, that this defendant was satisfied that the law providing that Floyd Johnson Serve one-half of his life expectancy was unconstitutional, and that in his judgment the supreme court of North Dakota would so hold,” Langer also says in his answer that he stated to Mrs. Johnson “it was unfortunate that she did not come to. him shortly after Floyd Johnson Pleaded guilty because said defend- ant was convinced then, as he is now, that if the statements of the Plaintiff and of Dell Paterson were true, that the said Floyd Johnson ought not to have pleaded guilty to gree for which he received a life im- prisonment, but murder or man- slaughter in a lesser degree for which! he would not have received a sentence | of life imprisonment.” The $2,000 received, called by Lang- er a retainer fee, and the additional $2,000 in notes, are defended in the answer “because of the nature of the work involved, the importance of the work, the responsibility imposed and the skill and experience called for in the performance of the services, and the length of time it would take to accomplish what the defendant had been retained to do.” Langer asserts in his answer, that he told the plaintiff, “in the presence of her son, Archie, and their neigh- bor, Dell Patterson, that the matter would be of long duration and would require a vast amount of time and effort and that the outcome would at best be problematical.” Further, Langer answers, he “has at all times since pis retainer in the said matter used his utmost endeavor | in every way to further the interests of his client and that many days have been put in by the defendant working ‘on said case in an effort to ultimately obtain the release of Floyd Johnson.” The answer concluded with a denial “that the. contract was unconscion- able, against public policy and void, or that the same was procured by this defendant thru fraud, deceit, and un- due influence, and specifically denies that the plaintiff had been damaged in the sum of $2,000 or any other sum whatsoever.’ JOHNSON APPLIES TO BOARD FOR CLEMENCY Floyd Johnson, serving a life term in the state prison for murder, has applied to the state pardon board for @ commutation of his sentence. Approval must be given by the par- don board before the prisoner is al- lowed to present his plea, as life pris- oners must serve half of their life expectancy before they are eligible to apply for pardon or commutation. The board, howevey may grant spe- cial permission to a “lifer” to be heard before he has served half of is life expectancy. Johnson's application, made by him Propose Compulsory Hail Insurance Law ORGANIZED MEDICAL CENTERS URGED BY SPECIAL COMMITTEE Would Band Physicians, Den- tists, Nurses and Pharma- cists For Efficiency New York, Nov. 29.—(#)—The com- munity medical center emerged Tues- day as the “keystone” recommenda- tion of the committee on the cost of medical care. The committee delivered its report, the result of five years of research, before the national conference on the costs of medical care at the New York Academy of Medicine. Five basic recommendations were made. They were, in brief: That medical care be furnished largely by organized groups of physicians, dentists, nurses, phar- macists, and other associated per- sonnel, centered around a hospit- al, and rendering home, office and hospital care. That all basic public health ser- vices be extended until they are available to the entire population, according to its needs. That the cost of medical care be placed on a group payment basis through the use of insur- ance, taxation or both methods, without precluding the continua- tion of the individual fee basis for thgse who prefer it. That a specific organization be fermed in every community or state for the study, evaluation, and coordination of medical ser- vice. That the professional education of physicians, dentists, pharma- cists, and nurses be reoriented to accord more closely with present needs, and that educational fa- cilities be provided to train three new types of workers in the field of health, namely, nursing at- tendants, nurse-midwives, clinical administrators, The committee was created in 1927 with Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, former president of the American Medical association, as chairman. -It made: 26 fact-finding studies. Two minority reports were present- and | Olsness May Ask Legislature to Require All Farmers to Ac- cept Protection CHANGES DEPLETE FUND Department Handicapped By Inability to Collect Premi- ums on Present Basis Proposal to restore tae compulsory provisions of North Dakota's state hail insurance laws may be advanced to the next legislature by the state insurance department, it became known Tuesday. Although definite decision on the matter has not been reached, Insur- ance Commissioner 8. A. Olsness said he is considering the idea as one means of making the insurance more ‘serviceable and, at the same time, meeting the difficulties imposed up- on the administration of the hail in- surance law by a decision of the su- Preme court in 1925. At the beginning of North Dakota’s experiment with state hail insurance in 1911, the law was entirely optional and a very small volume of business resulted. The 1919 law provided for compul- sory listing with the option of with- drawing prior to June 15 of any sea- son. There were level rates for the entire state. No provision was made for a reserve fund and warrants were issued in payment of indemnity as of Dec. 1. This proved unpopular, as many farmers found it necessary to sell warrants at a discount. In 1921 pro- vision was made for a three-cent flat tax to build up a surplus or revolv- ing fund of $4,000,000. The flat tax was reduced to one cent an acre in 1923 and eliminated entirely in 1927. To meet complaints against the level premium rate the “zoning sys- tem” now in effect was incorporated in the law in 1925, giving patrons of hail insurance equitable rates based ;9n actual loss ratio of their respec- ‘tive districts. While the surplus fund reached the $4,000,000 figure and resulted in drop- ping the flat tax in 1927, the state supreme court, at the same time,| , handed down a decision which has {handicapped the department ever since. Tax Status Abolished This ruling was that the hail in- ed along with personal dissenting surance premiums were not really a statements from two individual mem- bers of the committee. The principal minority report, sign- ed by nine members and presented by| Dr. Nathan B. Van Etten of New York, made seven recommendations, among them: “That the corporate (i. e., organized) practice of medicine be vigorously and persistently opposed as wasteful, in- imical to high quality, or productive of unfair exploitation of the medical profession.” MEDICAL JOURNAL WILL IMPUTE BIAS TO REPORT Chicago, Nov. 29.—(?)—The Journal of the American Medical association in its next issue, Dec. 3, will impute bias to the majority report of the committee on the costs of medical care, and urge support of the minor- tax but a lien against the land pro- tected with few, if any, advantages over liens for other purposes, As a result, the hail insurance fund has been seriously depleted by inabil- ity of the department to collect pre- miums. Of the nominal $4.000,000 1und amassed by the department only jabout $2,000,000 now is readily avail- jable, the remainder standing out in the form of unpaid premiums. When |the department has a loss it pays in cash. When it attempts to collect the premium it does the best it can. As the matter stands now the depart- ment is compelled to accept all risks under the compulsory listing feature ‘but its chances to collect the premium tax is no better than an open book account. Hence a delinquency has resulted in the surplus fund. In 1931, the department prepared ity report which was signed by mem-/and presented to the legislature a. bill bers of the American Medical associ- ation on the committee. The editorial, made public simul- taneously Tuesday with presentation! of the report in New York, will say! that the majority and minority re- ports “represent the difference be- tween incitement to revolution and a desire for gradual evolution based on analysis and study.” Bismarck Trio Hurt In Auto Accident Minot, N.

It provided that compulsory listing be eliminated and optional listing sub- stituted. It also contained the requirement that all applicants, to obtain insur- jance, must have paid all previous hail jtaxes. These changes were necessary ;to prevent further raiding of the fund. Wanted Tax Restored Realizing the importance and an- |ticipating the loss of volume of pat- ronage which would result by elimi- {nation of compulsory listing, the de- partment hoped to offset this loss by nother provision to virtually re- establish the status of the hail tax, which was lost by the supreme court ruling. highway between Sherwood and Mo-; Had the department's bill been enact- hall, when it struck an ice spot on the road and went into a ditch.

John Nystul, Fargo, chairman of the executive committee, at a confer- ence with Langer presented the de- mand as the unanimous sentiment of the three memners of the committee. Besides Nystul, C. N. Lee, Bismarck, and E. G. Larson, Valley City, serve on the committee. At his conference with Langer, Nys- tul said prospective legislation and some appointments were discussed, but that no definite recommmenda- | tions were made in either case. “The meeting was one of many which members of the executive com- mittee plan to have with all candi- dates,” Nystul said. Should Be ‘Cleared’ “The executive committee feels that appointments should be ‘cleared’ through the committee so that the most capable and competent men may be selected. We will assume responsi- bility only for such appointments as are approved by the committee.” Nystul declared that the committee will seek to have all sections of the state represented in appointments to be made by the governor and major ‘State boards. It is understood that at the league convention which indorsed Langer fo: governor, all prospective gubernatorial! jcandidates at that time were called in| jby the executive committee and pledged themselves to permit the committee to exercise supervision over appointments. “We discussed legislation bearing on the financial problems -of the state,” Nystul said. Eonomy Is Essential “Reduced expenditure of public jmoneys will be necessary to maintain a balanced budget. We are going to \try to avoid any new taxes, but if it is found necessary to create new sources of revenue it will be done with a view of establishing the most painless and equitable tax possible. “The executive committee believes that this trying period calls for carefully-planned program of legisla- tion aimed to be of the greatest good to the largest number. The members of the committee are unanimous in the thought that this is a time to give all the people whole-hearted representa- tion. “The executive committee feels it should take an active part in helping to solve the many problems that con- front the state, and for this reason it will be vitally interested in appoint- ments and legislation.” Nystul said his conference with Langer was of a general nature and definite legislative proposals will be taken up later. Hamilton Predicts Battle on Dry Law | Minot, N. D., Nov. 29.—(P)—A merry battle in the next North Dakota legis- lature on the question of repealing the state's liquor enforcement laws is foreseen by Senator D. H. Hamilton of Eckman, prominent in the af- fairs of the Nonpartisan League, who was in Minot today. Senator Hamilton, one-time cowboy who rode with Theodore Roosevelt in the charge up San Juan Hill, said he best could express his own sentiments ‘on the question thusly: “We need to do some trail riding. This prohibition is like a lot of steers scattered all over the prairie. We need to round it up in a corral and put a brand on it, so it will be known whom it belongs to.” ‘The senator said, that, in his opin- ion, the mechanics of repeal are quite simple, but the question of what is to be offered in its place is more diffi- cult of solution. 16-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Murder 29.—(P)—Sixteen- Chicago, Nov. year-old Bert Arnold, hammer slayer | munist of his step-grandmother, will know his fate Saturday.

DEMOCRAT REPEAL CAUCUS T0 CEMENT WET VOTE PLANNED House Leaders Will Suggest Meeting On Saturday to Speaker Garner Washington, Nov. 29.—(#)—The iron rule of caucus may be invoked by the Democratic house leadership to bind wavering colleagues in line for outright repeal of prohibition when congress meets Monday. Several chieftains plan to make the} suggestion to Speaker Garner, with Saturday in mind as the caucus date. The vice president-elect, who} drafted the repeal resolution, said Monday he thought it unnecessary to resort to this means, but later sev- eral prohibitionists and some who favor outlawing the saloon, ap- proached other leaders with the word that if bound by caucus rule they would vote repeal. The attitude of the majority of house Republicans is doubtful al- though their wet bloc claims about 80 outright repeal votes. Should the Democrats bind their 220 members and wet Republicans cast 80 votes, the resolution would be adopted and sent to the senate by a fair margin. It requires a two-thirds majority to approve a resolution amending the constitution, or 290 if all of the 435 members are present and voting. There are four vacancies, however, and the speaker usually votes only in case of a tie. The senate also must Pass upon the question before it is submitted to the states. The house judiciary committee has been called by Chairman Sumners to consider the repeal proposal Friday. Sumners says no hearings are neces- sary and that the committee can act by Saturday. | Should the judiciary committee fail to report the measure favorably, Garner will ask Representative Rainey of Illinois, party floor leader, | to move for its consideration under suspension of rules. Debate would be limited to 40 minutes. | Senate members generally have} taken the position of waiting to see what the house does on both repeal and beer, but the speedy action sought by Garner on repeal was de- fended by Senator Bingham (Rep., Conn.). “When the prohibition experiment was adopted,” said Bingham Tues- day, “the senate spent 13 hours in debate and the house acted in a single day's session of seven hours, “That was an entirely different Proposition than confronts us today. Congress was embarking the nation on a new and untried social experi- ment. We have studied national pro- hibition for 13 years and we know it is a failure. “I think Speaker Garner is justi- fied in the course he is pursuing in the house. Let those who now com- plain recall their own tactics.” Soviet Ex-Leader - Is Seriously Ill Moscow, Nov. 29.—(?)}—Gregory 8.

Though leaders here and in Warm Springs, Ga., where President-Elect Roosevelt is vacationing, are working toward the farm-aid objective, repeal of the 18th amendment captured the first spotlight through Speaker Gare ner’s plan for a vote on the opening day. Second place in the Democratie house went to beer tax legislation, but by the time of its disposition leaders hope a farm bill will be ready for a vote. What form the agriculture relief will take is nebulous. The domestic allotment plan is the hub of most cons versations in Democratic circles, but the better-known export debenture and equalization fee proposals have not been forgotten. Democratic leaders working on the Problem have met two obstacles to the party program—lack of unity among farm groups on a single plan and the necessity, if a new law is to be enacted before March 4, of dratte ing @ measure satisfactory to Presie dent Hoover. Senator Norris of Nebraska, Inde- Pendent Republican who supported Governor Roosevelt, voiced an opinion shared by many Democrats, when he Predicted upon his return to the cape itol that any “adequate” relief plaw would be vetoed. Norris, pont ae man Jones of the house committee, is @ staunch advocate of the debenture which Hoover has @p- Posed. The debenture system is included ta the “three-way plan” which was pressed in both houses last season and again holds a prominent place in dis- cussions, This plan would authorise optional use by the farm board of the debenture, allotment or equalization fee for disposing of surpluses and bringing the farmer the benefit of the tariff. The equalization fee twice was vetoed by President Coolidge. In the hope of speeding final action, Senator Robinson, Democratic leader at the other end of the capitol, an- nounced at Warm Springs an inten- tion to set up an unofficial committee to work on farm relief before congress meets next Monday. Leaders also are looking toward agricultural gatherings in Chicago for assistance in reaching an agreement. Reappointment of Von Papen Looms Berlin, Nov. 29.—(#)—The reap- Pointment of Franz von Papen as chancellor of the reich began to be regarded as a certainty in political circles Tuesday when word came from the Nazis that they would not support @ cabinet formed by General Kurt von Schleicher. General von Schleicher accepted the tentative task of trying to form a cab- inet only on the condition that he could avoid a clash with the reich- stag, and his failure to win over the opposition was regarded as tanta- mount to his yielding to von Papen, who has been serving temporarily, although he had resigned. It was generally understood General von Schleicher was being held in ree serve for the erection of a military dictatorship in case of the direct ne- cessity.
