GOVERNMENT READY 10 DIRECT BATTLE AGAINST "HOPPERS Federal Fund of $2,354,000 Is Included in Budget for This Year Washington, Jan. 30—(#)}—The 1934 campaign of the American farmer against the grasshopper is swinging underway with department of agri- culture officials mapping out the pro- etam of procedure. Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell, assistant secretary of agriculture, announced ‘Tuesday that ‘Lewis Douglas, budget director, had assured the department that a fund of $2,354,000 would be in- cluded in a deficiency bill for grass- hopper control. He added that hope ‘was held for beginning the campaign “within two weeks” if the bill passes. Dr. J. R. Parker of the department’s entomological laboratory at Bozeman, Mont., declared prospects were for “the worst outbreak in three years,” and he stressed the necessity for an early campaign against the pest. Governoment surveys show the gtound is full of eggs in a number of states, Dr. Parker declared. ‘The most serious outbreak, he added, is. threatened in South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. The major por- tion of the fund expected to be ap- propriated will be spent in these three states. During 1933 about $16,000,000 dam- age was done to crops of wheat, corn, flax, oats and barley in these three states, Dr. Parker said. somewhat less damage is expected in ‘Wisconsin, Wyoming, Nebraska and Idaho, although the outbreak may be severe. Due to expenditures of large funds in Iowa and Minnesota, con- trol measures were quite effective last year and the infestation is not ex- Pected to be as severe. Most of the fund expected to be available will be spent in purchasing bran mash to be spread by farmers in infested fields. ‘The government will work through state entomologists and county agents in the various states, Dr. Parker said, in pushing the program of attack as rapidly as possible.” ee je Weather Report a FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly tloudy tonight and fednesday; sli warm € ee ions i” colder Wednesday Sitges ee th- we ion.

Arntson, deputy commis- stoner of agriculture and labor, Mon- The program, submitted to the state CWA committee weeks ago, has not been placed in operation, The Leader has blamed Arnston and John Husby, his superior, on the ground that arguments over a wage scale to be paid to certain CWA workers has delayed the work. The project is being held up, ac- cording to Executive Secretary John E. Williams of the state emergency relief committee, because of a short- age of CWA funds. The project had been authorized and $108,000 set aside for its completion before a recent order from Washington was received holding up all new CWA projects. The bank, under the program approv- ed, was to contribute $108,000 to the Project. Williams is of the opinion that the telegram received by him on January 18, cutting hours of CWA workers to 24 hours per week in cities and 15 per week in country districts makes it ne- cessary for the bank project to be re- submitted to headquarters at Wash- ington for approval, as the wire stat- ed that all projects requiring ma- terlal shquid again be submitted to ‘Washington. Overdrawn, Says Williams Postponement of the project is caused by several states over-drawing their CWA quote, Williams believes. He cited the fact that Illinois had been compelled to lay off 200,000 men as an example of how some states had been operating. He had no idea of when the bank’s project would be approved, he said. Arntson in his statement says that the attack on him by the adminis- tration paper is for the purpose of discrediting Commissioner Husby. He asks why the governor did not co- | operate with Husby last week in his jeffort to have the former volume of work under the CWA in North Dakota. Arntson says he heartily approves of any program of the Bank of North Dakota or anyone else that will put 3 unemployed people to work, but says he has no knowledge of the bank’s program other than what he has read in the Leader. He denies appearing 3 | before the CWA committee in opposi- A {tion to the bank's program or dis- cussing it with any member of the committee. Arntson’s statement follows in full: Personal ‘Mud Battery’ “In the last four issues of The Leader, Governor Langer’s personal mud battery, a vicious and unbridled attack has been directed at John Hus- by, Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, and not being able to find any other angle from which to launch this attack, they use me as the plece de resistance through which they seek to aiscredit an able and honorable state official. They charge that I caused the Bank of North Dakota’s paint and repair program to be held up, thereby causing loss of thousands of dollars to farmers and laborers who are in bad need of employment. “When the article was first publish- ed, I elected to ignore it, but since they have repeated the same attack and again, I desire to make the fol- lowing statement and to make it in such plain language that even The Leader will understand what it is all bout. “I am in hearty accord with, and ap- Prove of any program that the Bank of North Dakota or anyone else will Place in operation that will provide work opportunities for the less for- tunate of our citizens. I have at no time opposed this or any other pro- gram which would provide employ- ment.

If it was ever authorized and the authorization later countermanded, it was probably for a very good reason entirely apart from the employment advantages.

MCKENNEY (Secretary, American Bridge League) ‘We never like to lead into a tenace nosition, buc sometimes the can get an end play which force us to lead into one or the other ten- ace. In today’s hand, after the first six tricks, East is in and must lead into either the king-jack of diamonds or the ace-queen-jack of hearts—both tenace positions—and he must make a choice. If he stops to think, the choice is rather simple. I believe North, before bidding hearts, should respond with two no trump, as he holds several tenace po- sitions and it looks as though the ad- vantage is for his hand to play the no trump. However, the actual bid by North was one heart. South must respond with one no few weeks ago when, if my memory serves me right, Gov. Langer announced ever the radio that he had a job for everyone in North Dakota who need- ed it and to just wire or write him and he would have everybody working in- side of ten days! Or maybe it was just another attempt to humbug the farmers and workers of North Dakota, like that of only a few months ago when United States Government funds were dispensed for relief purposes in this state under the name and title of “William Langer Emergency Relief Fund,” thereby giving out the impres- sion that Governor Langer was a great big Santa Claus of some sort. “It is part of my job to know some- thing about unemployment conditions in North Dakota, and persons making such statement are either grossly ig- norant of the great need existing in this state, or are not genuinely in- terested in doing anything to relieve suffering. “That The Leader itself does not know why this program was aban- doned, (if it ever existed) is best evi- denced by their own statement in their January 18th issue of The Leader, wherein they state on page five, a continuation of their front page article again attacking John Husby, that “JUST WHO ARE THE RES- PONSIBLE PARTIES BLOCKING THIS PROGRAM IS NOT KNOWN 4T THIS TIME, BUT THAT SOME- BODY HAS THROWN A MONKEY WRENCH INTO THE MACHINERY 18 EVIDENT.” This appears to be rather a remarkable statement to make after consistently attacking John Hus- by for over a month in connection with this affair!

Although our farmers out on the prairies and our laborers in the cities are in need as they never have been before, Gover- nor Langer has not raised a single hand to help them regain lost em- ployment in this mid-winter crisis, “The influence of the Governor’s Position would have been a tremen- dous asset in securing this restoration of lost work opportunities, neverthe- less, everything The Leader and Gov- again |ernor Langer may say to the contrary, |°@™! it is JOHN HUSBY and not Gover- nor Langer who is doing everything possible to secure a restoration of the CWA work to its former volume.” REDMEN FACE GUSTIES St. Paul, Jan. 30.—(#)—Tied with Macalester for third place in the Min- nesota college conference lineup, St. Mary's Redmen meet Gustavus Adol- phus at St. Peter Tuesday night with prospects of going ahead of the Mac- men again..
