Charges similar to Reno's have been made for some time, Miss Sals- berry said, but no evidence has been found to substantiate them. “We have communicated with every county superintendent of schools in| North Dakota, as well as the state department of public instruction,” she said, “in an effort to run down these reports, and have not found a single case where rural children do not have sufficient clothing. “True, some children do not attend school in stormy weather, but they would not attend school during bliz- zards anyway, no matter how much clothing they had.” ‘Will Write to Reno Miss Salsberry said she to communicate with Reno at once and request him to refrain from spread- ing false information about condi- tions in North Dakota. Reno made his charge Wednesday night, according to an Associated Press dispatch, in suggesting that a barter agency to handle an exchange of the products of farmers and indus- trial labor would be a feasible and economically-sound means of relief. The leader of farm strikes said he would offer the idea to Mayor La Guardia but “would like to see the plan adopted on 2 nationai scale by the federal government.” Reno went to New York to address the mass meeting Thursday night ‘of the Farmer Labor Political Federa- tion at comet eae oH ae that as far as he and the Hol as- i 7 sociation were concerned “we will pee code igpoenonsgge egy Peri await developments of the Roosevelt|inat he beat his wife, Ann, and his administration's program before Welthree-year-old daughter, Ann, with formulate # third-party movement Of/ the parrel of a shot gun and ‘drowned farmers and laborers.” Not His Idea Alone his infant son, soto AE 50 es Discussing the rellef plan—which he| Svenue home, ‘The girt died later In & sald was not alone his idea, nor did/ nospital.

The proposed development would be similar to that begun in the Ten- nessee valley except that authority would be vested in the bureau of re- clamation instead of a new organ- ization, and there would be no pro- vision for the manufacturing of fer- tilizer. “For many years,” Norris said, “we have been building dikes on the lower Mississippi to prevent damage by fiood control. The very waters that properly impound- benefit for navi- gation, irrigation and the development do that damage, ed, will be of of power.” He added that the bill, if enacted into law, would improve the naviga- bility of the Mississippi and provide an extension of navigation on the Missouri. ‘Would Sell At Cost “Water now doing damage in Loui- siana will be used for irrigation in the western states,” he said. little-additional expense, all these im- Pounded waters will develop @ very large amount of electricity which will ine sold eventually at cost to the farmers and other inhabitants of this Flood control navigation improve- ments would be charged with their al- lotted share of the total expenditures. ‘The project would be of an experi- mental nature, the bureau being au- thorized “to establish, maintain and operate laboratories and experimental nlants to undertake experiments for the distribution of electricity,” as well as to experiment in reforestation and the “proper use” of marginal lands.
