Attorney General Cummings said Thursday he was studying complaints. laid before him by Secretary Wal- lace that plans had been made to unduly increase the price of bread| in_various sections of the country. Bakers in some instances have said the proposed wheat processing tax was responsible for the contem- plated increase. Cummings said that, after going over all of the data, he would issue @ public statement as to his attitude and that it would be followed by action against profiteers, if any were found. He declined to indicate just what the action would be but said it would be determined and designed to break up any practice of increasing prices more than were justified by the tax.

Hope for Release of Kidnaped Speculator Chicago, July 6—()—New hope that John Factor, kidnaped specu- lator, may be released soon, possibly Thursday, came to his friends early Thursday morning.

July 6—(P—A special conference of farm appraisers of the Federal Land Bank of St. Paul will be held here Friday and prob- ably Saturday to discuss methods of | speeding up granting of loans under the new farm credit legislation, F. | H. Klawon, president of the bank, announced. Approximately 75 appraisers from the four states served by the bank, Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and part of Michigan, will attend j the conference, Klawon said. Their meeting will be followed next week by @ “school of instruction,” starting Wednesday, for new apprais- ers and applicants for such positions. “We expect between 70 and 100 new recruits to attend the school,” Klawon said. “As soon as they have been sifted out and familiarized with their duties, they will be sent to the field and a new group will start re- ceiving instruction. “Plans are to increase the field force to between 50 and 100 apprais- ers in each state, or approximately 300 men for the seventh land bank district. The land bank is anxious to give the fullest possible service to borrowers of this district as contem- Plated by congress, and our chief problem now is to select men who will meet the severe requirements of the appraisal work.” 10 ARE SOUGHT AS tantship from. Jack Williams, Fargo, : in the first serious contest that has| ERS UNRAVEL arisen for the position since Wil- liams was elected to the office in 1920 when the state legion was organized. An active campaign has been car- ried on by the Martin-for-adjutant headquarters at Bismarck. Numerous posts have instructed delegates for Martin or Williams, while some will go to the convention uninstructed. ‘Williams’ comment on the situa- tion "Thursday was that he is not conducting any campaign headquar- ters and has no campaign committee. “I have been through 14 conventions and lots of battles,” he said. “Let them decide at Williston.” Many Delegates Pledged ‘The state adjutant’s office at Fargo reports that of 287 voting delegates, 150 are believed to be pledged for either Williams or Martin. Of the larger posts, Valley City, Minot, Fargo and Mandan, with a total of 29 votes, are pledged for Williams, while Grand Forks and Bismarck, with 14 votes, are pledged to Martin. Larger posts with uninstructed dele- gates totaling 20 are Jamestown, Dickinson, Williston, Devils Lake and ‘Wahpeton. Of uninstructed dele- gates, Martin supporters claim all delegates from Dickinson and Devils Lake, and three out of the four dele- gates each from the Wahpeton and Jamestown posts, Martin headquarters at Bismarck said reports to that office show the number of posts supporting each can- didate is practically equal, with pledged Williams delegates slightly more than those pledged to Martin. The trend of uninstructed dele- gates, however, was said by the head- quarters to be in Martin's favor, and hopes for victory are pinned on the belief that a majority of them are “Martin minded.” Will Select Commander So intense has been the interest in the adjutant contest that the race for state commander has been pushed into the background. Several promi- nent legionnaires are mentioned as candidates but no particular cam- paign has developed in behalf of any. A successor will be chosen to Dr. R. 8. Kreidler, the present commander. Legionnaires will gather here Sat- urday night, while Sunday will be devoted primarily to entertainment Louis Johnson, national comman- der of the legion, will be the out- standing speaker. He is scheduled to address a joint meeting of the legion and auxiliary Monday morning. Welcoming ceremonies Monday will start with talks by Eugene Bruegger, president of the Williston city com- mission, and by Herbert Metzger, post commander here. i Governor Langer and Attorney General A.

MISSOURI MURDERS Former South Dakota Sheriff Accused of Directing Gang Machine Gun Kansas City, July 6.—()—Authori- ties said Thursday ten persons are be- ing sought in connection with the machine gun killing of four officers and their prisoner, Frank Nash, at the Union Station Plaza here June 17. As three of the principals in the plot to free Nash they named Verne C. Miller, former sheriff of Huron, South Dakota, William Weissman, a Kansas City gangster, and Harvey Bailey, who led the Memorial Day Kansas prison break in which he and 10 companions escaped. Officers declined to say whether they believed Bailey actually partici- Pated in the attack. He was severely ‘wounded in the Memorial Day escape. He was a friend of Fred Burke, de- scribed as “America’s most dangerous criminal,” and an associate of Nash. Police said their investigation has established that at least two machine guns were used by the gangsters, one of them operated by Miller. The shooting occurred shortly after 7 a. m. in front of the Union Station as Nash was being transferred from train to motor car on his way to the Leavenworth, Kans., penitentiary from which he had escaped. E. C. Reppert, director of po- lice, said Miller fired after his de- mand that Nash be released was answered by the discharge of a pistol in the hands of police detective W. J. Grooms, the bullet wounded the ma- chine gunner, whose weapon quickly killed Grooms, Police Detective Frank Hermanson, Raymond J. Caffrey, agent of the federal bureau of inves- tigation, and Otto Reed, McAlester, Okla., chief of police. Tracing of long distance calls from Hot Springs, Ark., where Nash was arrested and from Joplin, Mo., head- quarters of some of his gang, solved the crime, according to Reppert. ‘Through one of these calls, police said they ascertained that Miller rented a house in Kansas City. Bloody rags later were found there and officers be- eve Miller used them to bandage his wound. It was Miller, according to police, who said “all right, let ‘em have it.” Just prior to the burst of machine gun fire. Until Reppert’s announcement, it had been undetermined whether the shooting was the result of an attemtp to rescue Nash or to kill him. Earlier reports were that Miller had been a sheriff in North Dakota and had served time in the prison here, but this proved to be incorrect. He was elected sheriff at Huron in 1920 and was re-elected but was ac- cused and convicted of embezzlement before beginning his second term, serving three years in the South Da- kota prison for the offense.

UNITED STATES TO STUDY PROBLEM OF SOVIET RECOGNITION Conduct Survey From Post in Stockholm Washington, July 6. — () — The United States is going to make an official study of the problems involved in recognition of Soviet Russia. Thursday, Lawrence Steinhardt, minister to Sweden, starts to-Europe for that study. The announcement of his specific mission was made at the white house. Many held it added force to arguments that America’s more friendly relations might bring Official recognition of the land of Communism, Just a few days ago the Reconstruc- tion Corporation, quasi-federal age- ney, with the president's approval, announced loans of around $4,000,000 to finance the sale of cotton to Rus- isla. Some months past Roosevelt ad- jdressed to Russia, along with other nations, a plea for peace. It was the first time in many moons that there had been such an admission of Rus- sia’s existence. When Steinhardt begins his survey, {he will find Russian debts and propa- ganda activities heading reasons for non-recognition in the past. After the last czar was overthrown ithe United States extended an $187,- |000,000 credit to the provisional gov- Jernment which took over. That was |repudiated by the Soviet, along with |around $400,000,000 of czarist obliga-! |tions held by American citizens.

F. Monroe Says SUCCESS RESTS ON THEM Will Not Name Burleigh Group} Until Specific Instructions Are Received North Dakota wheat farmers who ecide to accept the plan of the farm adjustment administration will man- jage their own county organizations, it is announced by C. F. Monroe, direc- tor of the extension service of the! State agricultural college. Although there will be national and state offices, the county groups will be fundamentally important, Monroe says. “They are the key units in the | Whole program and the administra- tors of the plan frankly admit that its | success depends upon the cooperation of the farmers of each county in handling their own organization. The county organizations will be built up by the wheat farmers themselves.” Burleigh county's committee has not yet been named, according to H. O. Putnam, county agricultural agent. Putnam says no committee will be se- lected until definite instructions are received from administrators of the Agent To Take Initiative Upon direction, the county agent or any other man who may be ap- pointed to handle organization work for each district will take the initia- tive in calling prelminary meetings in the local communities. County or- ganizations and representative com- mittees will develop from these first, meetings, with the farmers assuming active direction themselves, accord- ing to Monroe. The county and local associations of participating growers will gather the records of each farmer who elects to come under the plan. They will take the county allotment, which will be computed in Washington on the |basis of the official records for pro- duction during the last five years, and will direct the individual assignment of this county allotment on a basis of each man’s average production dur- ing the last three years. Benefit pay- ments will be made according to the certifications made by the local com- mittees. The cost of local county adminis- tration will be carried by the partici- pating growers themselves, each share being estimated on the basis of the individual farmer's allotment. | ‘The adjustment plan, under which {wheat farmers who agree to reduce ‘acreage in 1934 and 1935 will receive ‘cash benefits in 1933, 1934, and 1935, {is not a price-fixing measure, nor does it place restrictions on a farmer in selling his own crop, or on any ele- vator man or grain processor in buy- ing or selling wheat, M. L. Wilson, wheat administrator says. May Sell To Anybody | The farmer who comes under the| adjustment program can sell wheat to anybody he wishes, for any price he wishes, at any time he wishes. | There are no “strings” to the con- tract. The farmer reduces his acre- age if reduction is required, and gets ‘the payments as provided in his con- ‘tract, but the sales of the crop he does raise are not under regulation. ‘Wilson points out that the amount to be paid on the allotment of each farmer is fixed at the beginning of the season. It is the same per bushel of wheat for every farmer, regardless of when he sells his crop or what he gets for it, or what kind of wheat it is, In calculating the payment for each year, the administration will attempt jto make the payment sufficient to bring the total return to the farmers on his crop up to the point where it will have as much buying power as it |did in the pre-war period, 1909-1914. |However, if one farmer sells his j wheat for a certain price, and his |neighbor sells for more or for less, this will not affect the amount of the j benefit payment of either. The pay- jment is fixed for each year and re- mains at that figure during that year.

DOUGLAS DEMANDS BALANCED BUDGETS BY VARIOUS STATES Urges They Get No Public Work Funds Unless in Position to Pay ‘Washington, July 6. — (#) — Lewis Douglas, director of the budget, pro- posed Thursday that states be re- quired to balance their budgets before the federal government permits them to participate in the $3,300,000,000 public works program. The budget director, in fact, was Proposing a cautious program all along on the public works campaign. To President Roosevelt he suggested elimination of many of the projects submitted to the white house for im- mediate construction. Disturbed by prospect of a huge in- crease in indebtedness through the public works program, Douglas urging that only projects which are absolutely sound and useful be under- taken. The law gives the president power to withhold allocations of funds to states if their budgets are not bal- anced, and Douglas let it be known he wants this strictly enforced. Roosevelt, who also has laid down a strict rule that the projects be neces- sary and sound, is culling over the list submitted to him by the special public works board and it appears likely to be trimmed considerably. Announcement of projects to be un- dertaken immediately is expected when the president concludes his study.
