L. Wetsch, sanatorium secretary, fol- lowing their reported refusal to con- tribute financial support to a weekly newspaper being launched by the ad- ministration, Dr. Charles MacLach- lan, superintendent of the institution, said late Wednesday. In a statement from San Haven, Dr. MacLachlan denied he had taken any part in threatening of employes who refused to contribute to “The Leader,” political newspaper to which administration employes hhave been asked to subscribe five per cent of one year’s salary. He said no employe of the San Ha- yen sanatorium is be agahe he to dis- charge employes and “therefore no employe has been regularly dis- charged.” The eight dismissed employes, in affidavits, sald they were discharged by Wetsch after they refused to con- tribute to the newspaper. At the same time, R. M. Rishworth, member of the state board of ad- ministration, challenged Wetsch’s authority to dismiss the employes. Following ® telephone conversation with Dr. MacLachlan, Rishworth said the superintendent had not dis- charged the employes, but Wetsch had dismissed them.

Rishworth added the board of administration, which has supervi- sion over the sanatorium as well as other state institutions, does*not ap- prove of the dismissal of employes by persons not in authority. Newspaper reports were the first information board members had of the dismissals, he said. Dr. MacLachlan’s statement said: “At noon I was advised that a cer- tain state daily would today (Wed- nesday) headline the discharge of a number of employes at San Haven for the reason that they refused to Ag. financial support to a proposed weekly newspaper enterprise, said to have state administrative approval. No employe of this institution has received written or implied notice of dismissal from me since the cam- paign.for newspaper support was un- dertaken at San Haven. “No threat of dismissal was made by me under pain of an employe’s refusal to subscribe. No other em- ploye of San Haven is empowered to discharge an employe; therefore, no employe n ‘ly dis- charged. “Employes who may have unoffi- cial notice of discharge will be noti- fied to disregard said notice and may, if institutional service is satisfactory, continue to serve.” Kidnap Attempt at St. Paul Is Foiled St. Paul, June 22—(#)—Police were told an attempt was made Wednesday night to kidnap a child from the home of Mrs. George Carter of St. Paul.

In its monthly survey of business for May, however, it added: “Cheerful as this news sounds, there is no evidence yet that it marks the start of recovery.” Any further progress, the Federa- tion said, must depend upon the ex- tent to which the purchasing power of the laborer is increased. In April, unemployment was said to have decreased from 13,359,000 to 12,- 730,000,.as 4.8 per cent of those out of work regained jobs. “Trade union reports for May show another gain, not so large. This is the most significant of all business gains reported this spring. It is the largest since the depression began. “But unless employment gains more than this it will take nearly two years to get the unemployed back to work— and business cannot wait two years.” To provide the necessary purchasing Power the Federation places most hope in the national recovery act, which it describes as “the most ad- vanced and forward looking legislation for recovery yet Le The Federation summarizes the stt- uation with these’ words: “Administration measures have suc- ceeded in priming the business ma- chine.

Contract for Marble at Capitol Building Is Let MITCHELL ACQUITTE BY NEW YORK JURY Freed on All Counts in Indict- ment Charging Income Tax Evasion New York, June 22.—(#)—Charles E. Mitchell was acquitted Thursday on all counts in the indictment which charged him with income tax evasion. The jury which had heard the gov- ernment charges that Mitchell, form- er chairman of the National City Bank, had cheated the government in 1929 and 1930 of ‘more than $850,000 in intome taxes, took the case at 11:25 a. m., E. 8. T. Wednesday. It returned the verdict a little more than 24 hours later. The charges against Mitchell, who for many years was one of the most powerful figures i in the banking world, were briefly that he had illegally failed to report @ payment of $666,666.67 from the Na- tional City.company in 1929 and that he had made sham stock sales to make it appear that he had suffered such heavy income loss that he owed no tax in 1929 and 1930. The jury returned for instructions three times, once Wednesday and twice Thursday. It was after the third appearance of the jury in the couft- room that the verdict acquitting Mit- chell on all counts was returned. ‘Justice’ Says Steuer Mitchell’s attorney, Max D. Steuer made this statement: f Northwest Firm to Supply Mon- tana Travertine At Cost of $82,540 Contract for marble for the new North Dakota State Capitol building has been let to the Northwest Marble company, Mineapolis, which bid $82,- 540, R. M. Rishworth, chairman of the capitol building commission, an- nounced Thursday. The contract calls for Montana travertine. The original set up was for the ex- Penditure of $120,000 for marble, Rish- worth said. The marble is to be used primarily in the memorial hall and on the ground floor of the new building. : A low-pressure heating plant will be installed in the basement of the new structure as originally planned, Rish- worth said. He declared the commis- sion had contemplated eliminating the boilers and to use the old capitol building plant as a high pressure plant for generating electricity. In ‘view of the contract made by the industrial commission with the local Power company for furnishing elec- tricity for state buildings at a low rate, it was decided to install the low-pressure plant which will provide only heat for the new building, Rish- worth said. Stone construction work on the building has reached the 15th story on the tower and granite work was begun Wednesday on the western or legislative wing, according to John M. Davis, superintendent of construc- tion for the Lundoff-Bicknell com- pany. ™ Davis said he expects stone work on the whole structure to be completed “This verdict proves that in the|im about six weeks. He expects the state of New York justice can still be had by the verdict of a jury; that neither mob psychology nor emotion will enter the final determination.” tower part will be finished next week.

FRUITS, VEGETABLES TO GET BENERIT OF NEW FARM MEASURE Other Special Crops Not Listed As Basic Commodities Given Consideration CALIFORNIAN IS NAMED Administrator Will Devise Pro- gram to Assist in Mar- keting Setup Washington, June 22.—()—Admin-| istrators of the farm act have de-! cided to apply it to fruits and vege- tables and other special crops which ‘were not listed as basic commodities in the law. This intention was made known Thursday with announcement of the appointment of Dr. H. H. Tolley of the University of California as chief of the section of special crops, a division created to carry out the pro- gram for fruits and vegetables. Administrators of the act said the method of aid will be chiefly through the drafting of marketing agreements to fix minimum prices in some in- stances and in others to eliminate competitive factors which they said have increased the cost and risks in distribution. RAILROADS HARKEN TO BASTMAN'S PLEA FOR DELAY IN GUT Postpone Wage Reduction Un- til 1934; Hope It Will Not Be Needed Washington, June 22.—(7)—Rail- roads have heeded a plea of the ad- ministration to postpone until June 30, 1934, a proposed new 12% per cent Pay cut for their workers. As a result, organized railroad la- bor, until the middle of next year, will continue to work on the present schedule—the old basic wage less 10 per cent. By that time government and railroads both hope need for pay cuts will be passed. the first big achievement of Joseph B. Eastman since he became coord- inator of transportation. When he “unofficially” stepped in the situation was this: Rail labor, under an agreement reached last December and operative until next November 1, had been working for wages fixed in January 1932, less 10 per cent. Railroads de- cided an additional 12% per cent cut should be levied. Unsuccessful con- ferences between employe and employ- er were held. The whole thing was a threat to uninterrupted transporta- tion service. Then Eastman met the railroad managers and labor executives. He asked them to delay action until the effect of the administration’s recov- ery program could be seen. His pro- posal was accepted. American Golf Star Defeats Somerville Hoylake, Eng.

His goal is to put farm credit on a cooperative basis. Through establish- ing a limited mutual responsibility he hopes to lessen risks, make saleable at lower interest rates securities back- ed by farm property and thus make farm credit available at lower rates. The most important organization changes will be made in the 12 cit- ies where federal land banks are now located. These include St. Paul, Minn. The Federal Land Banks and intermediate credit banks located in each will be joined by two new credit units, a “bank for cooperatives,” and @ “production credit corporation.” Jointly the four units will be known jas the “farm credit administration,” with an agent in charge representing Morgenthau. Commissioner For Each Each of the four divisions will have & president to be chosen by the board of directors succeeding the group which now has control of land and in- termediate credit banks. Each also will be under the direc- tion of @ commissioner at Washing- ton, responsible to Morgenthau. Fran- cis W. Peck of St. Paul has been ap- Pointed cooperative loan commission- er and will set up the banks for co- operatives; A. 8. Goss of Seattle will become land bank commissioner July 1, and George M. Brenan of Berkeley, California, is intermediate credit bank commissioner. A production credit commissioner remains to be chosen. The farm credit administration Thursday placed the total federal Jand bank loans in force as of May 31 at $1,102,890,767, with 339,324 farm- er-borrowers. The first five months of this year the 12 banks made 4,169 loans total- loans for $10,514,000 during the same Period last year. ‘The amount loaned by the St. Paul bank was $1,139,000.

Anderson said the car swerved first to one side of the highway and then to the other before turning over and landing upright on its wheels. All the occupants were thrown clear of the car. Miss O’Brien suffered a frac- ture skull. All of the girls live in East Grand Forks and were returning from a dance at Minto, 20 miles north of here, when the accident occurred at about 2:30 a. m. Midwest Hopes for Relief From Heat (By the Associated Press) Another day of scorching tempera- tures dnd mounting death lists led many sections of the nation to par- ticipate with fervor Thursday prom- ises of relief from the heat wave.

PUBLIC WORK BOARD HURRYING 10 LOOSE CONSTRUCTION FUND \s Preparing ‘Efficient Organi- zation’ to Carry Out Plans Contemplated Washington, June 22.—(7)—Presi- dent Roosevelt's public works board Thursday informed the nation “we are proceeding as rapidly as possible” to set flowing the $3,300,000,000 ap- Propriated for construction activities by congress. An official statement said “an ef- ficient organization” to carry out the program for which funds were provid- ed in the industrial recovery bill is being set up. Secretary Ickes, chairman of the cabinet board, will be in charge while beneath will be the public works ad- ministrator. Colonel Donald H. Sawyer, the pres- ent temporary administrator, Thurs- day moved his headquarters into the interior department building and found dozens of applicants for jobs and projects in his anteroom.

HALTED Upward Rush Stemmed By Profit-Taking;. Trading Records New Peaks Chicago, June 22.—(#)—Profit-tak- ing halted the upward rush of grain prices Thursday and moved most of them back to near the day’s low point at the close. Wheat, corn, oats and rye advanced to the highest levels of the season, however, before reactions set in. Reports of another heat wave ser- jously injuring the already damaged wheat and corn crops coupled with early strength of stocks and cotton |served as the motive power for price advances. Wheat gained almost 1'2 cents a bushel with December touching 8 cents, but the close was lower than the opening, with the market firm and steady to % cents higher. Corn lost its advance in profit-tak- ing and finished unchanged to % cent lower. A sale of 100,000 bushels of May wheat, almost a year in the future, was made at 89 cents a bushel.

The statement said that “undue emphasis” had been placed upon Proposals for temporary stabilization and asserted this matter was never an affair of the delegation itself but rather of the treasury and the cen- tral banks of the United States, Great Britain and France. The American government, the statement continued, feels “that its efforts to raise prices are the most important contribution it can make.” Simultaneously with the publica- tion of the American statement it was authoritatively said the confer- ence had been saved from foundering on the rocks of stabilization as the result of an agreement by American and foreign representatives to post- Pone discussion of the stabilization question until later. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald, president of the conference, who has been working night and day to save the parley from collapse, was jubilant when the news was rushed to him, The Franco-American agreement was reached at a meeting attended by James M. Cox, American delegate; James P. Warburg, American techni- cal expert; and Finance Minister George Bonnet of France. Lays Cards On Table The stroke of master diplomacy in effecting the Franco-American raps, ‘Prochement was described as having: been accomplished when Cox cast, aside all traditional diplomatic tactics and laid his cards on the table re- garding the American position. The French, who were :severelyf! burned in the post-war inflation, are! said to have been completely lacking} in comprehension of the American, internal program and its definite ob; Jectives. i They were fearful that the United States was on the road to wild inflaed vou ieee might have world-wide ef- ‘ects but Cox and Warburg them right on this matter. ad That the French had been willing to quit the conference over the stabi- lization issue was authoritatively con- firmed. With the parley apparently safely through. this major crisis, both the Americans and the British ex- Pressed highest hopes of real accom- plishment. The French and other gold bloc nations welcomed the declaration as the first clear-cut official statement by the United States of its position at the world economic conference. “The lines now are clearly drawn,” @ spokesman for the French delega- tion said, “and we know where we are going.” An immediate breakdown of the conference was apparently avoided by the American move, European delegations indicated, despite the fact that every gold bloc country, espe- cially the smaller ones whose gold Positions were weakening, served no- tice in lobbies that it was impossible to carry on serious economic discus- sions until a measuring rod is pro- vided by stable currencies. They will continue to insist on sta- bilization at the earliest possible time, it was reported. Orders From Washington The issuance of the American stab- ilization statement followed receipt of fresh instructions Wednesday from Washington and repeated meetings Wednesday night and Thursday in which the delegation considered the wording of the declaration. The announcement was interpreted here as meaning definitely that the United States has chosen for the pres- ent to continue the avowed policy of letting the dollar “find its own level.” The definite statement against stabilization at this time followed Presentation by Secretary of State Cordell Hull of a resolution declaring that tariff and quota discriminations and excesses were against the com- mon interests and should be reduc- ed as quickly as possible. Introduction of Secretary of State Cordell Hull of a resolution calling for the removal of trade barriers was a startling development of Thursday. It made no mention of stabilization. The Hull resolution was introduced in a subcommittee of the economic ‘commission this morning. It called for a gradual reduction and removal of tariff barriers. The method contemplated in‘ the resolution is by bilateral or multi- lateral agreemerss. The proposal emphasized care should be taken to guard against dis- criminatorye Yeatures in such agree- ments, It was specifically stated the resolu- tion was submitted in accordance with instructions from the United States government. It declared with a pol- icy of extreme economic nationalism and the raising of additional trade barriers are against the common in- terest. The removal of embargoes, import quotas and other restrictiosn as com- pletely and as soon as possible was asl
