HEAVIER TAX PLAN BEING CONSIDERED BY ADMINISTRATION Aim Now Is to Reach Into Mid- die-Income as Well as Higher Brackets Washington, July 5—(?)—New Deal circles are studying the advisability of broadening the tax-the-wealth Program to reach into the middle in- come brackets as well as the $1,000,000 -a-year class. Some legislators and. experts. are known to feel that if the new taxes are levied only on the very wealthiest Persons, the revenue resulting would not live up to expectations.

AMENDMENTS TO AAA ARE THREATENED BY CONGRESSIONAL ROW Senate and House in Sharp Disagreement Over Ex- port Bounty Proposal Washington, July 5.—(#)—Some farm administration men expressed concern Friday lest one new change in the pending AAA amendments re- sult in delay for the legislation. This possible barrier, officials said, was the action of the senate agricul- tural committee in deleting a provi- sion which authorized appropriation for the AAA of 30 per cent of Amer- ican customs receipts. This fund, which officials estimated would amount to about $100,000,000 annually if customs receipts continue at the present rate, could be used for several purposes, including payment of an export bounty on American crops or purchase of sub-marginal lands. Some AAA officials feel certain that house members who favor the appro- priation may fight it, with resultant controvery and perhaps delay. An indication of a fight to come was seen in a statement by Chairman Jones (Dem., Tex.) of the house ag- riculture committee. He declared the senate committee had taken out two of the best parts of the bill. These he listed as the customs receipts plan and the section authorizing import quotas on farm products to prevent injury to domestic prices. Farm officials said the export bounty plan was one of the principal features of the old McNary-Haugen Plan. To Name New Leader Seattle, July 5—()—Capt. Charles E.

Bliss, formerly in charge of transient workers in the Alaskan valley. Bliss, stating he was on a 30-day furlough, sails Friday from Anchor- age on the motorship North Star for Seattle with 75 transient workers and nine colonist families. The return- ing families are dissatisfied with ‘anal ditions in the valley. For Alaskan Project) += Rains Drench Most of State NORTHWEST QU QUARTER ALONE FAILS 10 GET GOOD PRECIPITATION 1.37 Inches Recorded Here Dur- ing Night; Crop Outlook Greatly Improved GARRISON RECEIVES 2.40 Belated Reports Tell of Damage From Wind and Hail in Burleigh County Welcome rainfall in generous quantities . throughout North Dakota, with the exception of one small section in the north- west quarter, brought relief to thirsting crops late Thursday and early Friday. The only section not report- ing substantial rainfall over- night, according to O. W. Rob- erts, federal meteorologist here, was that in the vicinity of Parshall, Sanish and Crosby, where moisture i is needed badly. Bismarck was drenched overnight with showers and heavy falls totaling 1.37 inches, according to Roberts. The rainfall followed a warm afternoon Thursday in which the mercury climbed to 91 degrees. The moisture, however, brought the thermometer scurrying down to 61 degrees during the night, giving residents of western North Dakota an opportunity to sleep well after several nights of op- pressive sultriness. Garrison was drenched with 2.40 inches of rain overnight, while Han- kinson reported « fall of 2.35 inches. Other points reported precipitation as follows: Drake 1.73, Devils Lake 1.62 and Max 1.01. With the exception of Crosby, which received .15, Parshall .10, Wil- liston .01 and Sanish none, other weather stations in the state reported rainfall ranging from .2¢ to 94 of an Hail in Burleigh County As North Dakota surveyed the benefits of the overnight rain with @ smile, with crop prospects encour- aging in practically all sections, Bis- marck received belated reports of a wind and hailstorm which caused considerable damage in the Arena and Wing districts and throughout Lien township Wednesday, Hail wiped out the crops on the Henry Josephson and Albert Little farms near Wing and the Ingvald Eide farm near Arena. Hailstones, described as being as large as lemons, Killed poultry on the Eide farm, blinded a colt in one eye and dam- aged the farm home, High winds tore down barns on the Joe Rica and Alfred Arneson farms in Lien township and lifted a garage off of a new automobile on the Dallas Barkman farm, leaving the car un- moved and und: Outside of the hail area, County Agricultural Agent H. O. Putnam Friday morning said he had heard of no other damage in Burleigh county. The hail storm, according to in- complete reports, cut a three-mile swath of undetermined length through Lyman, Wing, Harriet and Lien town- ships. He said he believed it ex- tended as far as Rice Lake and that many farmers other than those men- tioned must have sustained some losses. He said hail was reported at Baldwin, also, but that he had re- ceived no damage reports. Putnam said he believed the heavy rain received throughout the county gives farmers the most encouraging crop prospects in years. Some Crops Burned He said the heat wave prior to the rainstorm had burned some of the crops in this area but that the burn- ing might have been of advantage in the long run in that it thinned out crops which were too heavy in some quarters. He believes that much of the crop wilted by the heat will stage a rapid recovery in view of the heavy rain received. The Burleigh county storm followed more violent storms earlier in the week at Watford City and Stanley, in which four persons were killed, and in Dunn county, where considerable dam- ‘age was reported. Following the stormy session, North Dakota looked forward to cloudy weather, with not much change in temperature forecast, according to the federal weather bureau here. In the wake of North Dakota's storms came reports of violent storms in the Red River Valley, with three persons dead and eight others injured in the Crookston, Minn., area.
