One den of rattlers was cleared out in a unique manner, Kyes explained. He discovered a large number of snakes in a hill near his home, denned for the winter, and dug into the den. At the outlet a 50 gallon steel barrel was placed. This spring when the snakes came out the runway, they fell into the barrel and unable to get out, were captured alive, “I put a bull snake into the den of rattlers the other day,” Kyes said, “and the poor fellow disap- peared. One big rattler struck the bull snake and when we went back later, the bull snake could not be found.” 3 Buildings Bombed In Strike-Torn Town Sand Springs, Okla., May 31.—(?) | Wallace Kyes’ Hobby | House Group to Seek Constitution Change) FOREST, TREE BELT Meeting Within Few Days Will Discuss Possibility of Hold- ing Convention Washington, May. 31.—(7)—A group of house members was said Friday to be preparing to assemble immediately to canvass the possibility of holding '@ convention to rewrite the constitu- tion. Representative Maverick (Dem., Tex.), who is planning to carry the issue to the nation in a radio address, said Friday that Representative Kel- ler, (Dem., Ill), present chairman of the group, would call the meeting “in the next few days.” Describing the rulings of the su- preme court against NRA and the Frazier-Lemke farm moratorium act as forcing the country back “to a rule of fang and claw,” the Texan as- serted: “Legislation can’t go on forever be- ing thwarted by the supreme court. The question is, are we going to go about it in an orderly way to obtain proper changes in government to in- sure our having a decent country to live in?” He said the court either ought to be deprived of the power to invali- date acts of congress or some system should be established whereby any act held unconstitutional would become constitutional if repassed by con- gress, Constitutional conventions can be ordered only upon demand of legisla- tures of two-thirds of the states. Af- terward, any change must be ap- proved by three-fourths of the legis- latures, The invalidation of the farm debts moratorium act, Maverick said, will result in two to three million persons being put off their farms. The high court’s NRA findings, he said, will mean wide-spread strikes and a re- turn of child labor, 6 to 1 Vote for Continuance Of AAA Officially Announced Farrell Declares Poll Is ‘Mandate’ to Extend Control Program; New Contracts for Years 1936-39 Are Being Drafted at Washington Washington, May 31—(#)—A vote of more than six to one for con- tinued wheat control was announced Officially Friday in “practically com- plete” returns from the referendum the AAA held last Saturday. The count announced by the AAA gave 397,840 votes for continuation of an adjustment program and 61,133 against. In only one of the 37 states involved—New Jersey—did the voting farmers fail to give majorities in favor, In New Jersey, 58 votes were cast ‘Miss | for and 72 against. Fear Court Action on AAA Officials said they feared attacks would center upon the AAA now that NRA has been declared unconstitutional. They plainly felt some concern over the impending Republican “Grass Roots” convention at Springfield, TL, in June, when it is believed the farm program will be a topic. The AAA reported that of the total of 458,973 votes cast, 392,383 were by contract signers and 66,590 by non-contract signers. Of the contract signers voting, 89 per cent or 349,495, favored the pro- gram, while 42,888 opposed continuation. The tabulations said that 48,345, for for 1934 was 15 per cent. the years 1936-39 is being drafted. This contract, fered to the farmers by July 1. for a maximum possible reduction of 25 per cent, com- to the 20 per cent provided in present contracts, but it was said that it is unlikely that maximum reduction would be asked. The largest asked tabulation was made public by the AAA to show, by vote and the vote by signers and non-signers as reported Total Contract Signers Non-Contract Signers 156 MILLIONS FOR PROJECTS PROPOSED Work Would Be Done in 47 States; Extent of Plans for Plains Not Disclosed Washington, May 31—(7)—A plan to spend $156,290,000 of work relief money in the nation’s forests, and on wind-swept plains where shelter belts of trees are contemplated, was put forward Friday by the forest ser- vice of the agricultural department. Asserting that the projects involved could be started without delay and that they would draw workmen par- ticularly from relief rolls in the cities, Officials submitted the program to the applications division of the work re- lef organization. The work proposed would be done in 47 states, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, Rhode Is- land was the single state not included, but it was explained that activities would be carried on there with regu- lar forest service funds. Extent Not Disclosed Shelter belt planting was one of the activities proposed but the ex- tent of expenditures planned in this direction was not disclosed. Some of the work relief moyey asked by the forest service would be spent to build landing fields—presum- ably for the use of planes which “spot” and aid in fighting forest fires. Among the other projects recom- mended were constructions and maintenance of firebreaks, forest fire lookout houses, towers and observa- tories, telephone lines, forest roads and trails, housing for forest officers, tree nurseries, thinning of forest stands, fire prevention and control, construction and maintenance of im- provements for recreational use of the forests, control of tree destroying in- sects and diseases and of range-de- stroying rodents, eradication of poisonous plants, revegetation of de- pleted ranges and construction of Tange fences, Total Now 707 Millions With applications filed Thursday by army engineers for eight flood control Projects costing $3,475,500 in Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, the forest service re- quests brought the total of pending work relief applications to $707,705,- 462. In addition more than a billion dollars worth of work has been recommended to the president by his allotment advisory board. No details of the amounts asked for forestations in each state were an- nounced. Trade Commissioner Appointment Likely Washington, May 31.—(?)—Early action to fill a vacancy on the federal trade commission is regarded as like- ly now that the commission has risen to new prominence with the collapse of NRA. At present the board is made up of three Democrats: Chairman Edwin L, Davis, W. A. Ayres, and Garland 8. Ferguson, Jr., and one Republican, Charles H. March. According to precedent the vacancy would be filled by a Republican, 5 CHIDREN DIE IN FIRE Toronto, May 31—(?)—Five of the six children of Mr. and Mrs, Harry Scott were killed early Friday when fire dstroyed their frame residence at Alderwood, a suburb.

As to the AAA, he said the ques- tion now before the country was whether the federal government has any valid power to regulate crap pro- duction. The issue was up to the people, he added, indicating an expectation it would be focused determinedly in the years immediately ahead. Cites War Legislation Mr. Roosevelt talked sharply about the ruling that extraordinary condi- tions calling for extraordinary action did not enlarge constitutional power. He referred to the war days of 1917 and 1918, Much of the legislation en- acted in that emergency exceeded the constitution more than any enacted in 1933, but that emergency was nev- er brought before the court. mining and construction. developments was manifest, Back court ruling. The nature of his plans was withheld. As to “pending cases,” which were undefined, he said there would be an announcement Friday or Saturday. Presumably this referred to cases on the NRA dockets at the time it was outlawed. There will be other announce: along the same line over the week: early next week. 3-DAY RAIN IN &.
