On the question whether the AAA should put into effect another corn- hog production control in 1936, this batch of ballots gave: Yes 95. No 93. There was no way to tell how far this fragmentary result was indica- tive of the outcome of the referendum, which will embrace corn-hog farmers all over the nation. Davis Urges Voting i AAA officials indicated, however, that they were worried. Administrator Chester Davis, who has been urging farmers to “get out and vote,” has said there will be no program “unless enough farmers show they want it to make a program workable.” Secretary Wallace has said that more than a bare majority of favor- able votes would be necessary for suc- cess of @ program. “Y’d feel pretty uncertain with a bare majority,” he said. The results of the absentee bal- lots, it was safd, became known here: only because some field men of the AAA made mistakes. Farmers absent from their home acres cast the bal- lots by mail. County committees, in- stead of retaining them as they should have done, sent them along to Wash- ington. It was learned that the ballots, sent here from several states, includ- ing Iowa and Nebraska in the heart of the corn belt, were being rushed back to the county committees to be tabulated in the returns Saturday night. \ Casement Bothers Them AAA officials, in their anxiety over the fate of the corn-hog program, are known to be giving attention to a campaign against adjustment which Dan Casement, Kansas farmer who is president of the Farmers Independ- ence Council of America, is reported to be waging. ‘The AAA, which holds that another corn-hog program is warranted, ar- gues, in the words of Administrator Davis, that “without a program and with normal weather conditions in 1936, we could easily have, in the marketing year beginning in Novem- ber, 1937, so many hogs that there would be another price collapse.” “The main purpose of the program in 1936,” he said, “is not to hold hog breeding down, but to prevent the tick, his face covered with a hand- kerchief, sitting in the rear seat of the Dennius car. “What are you doing here?” Den- nius said he asked Hitchrick. For reply, Hitchrick is reported to have fired the 32 calibre revolver held low in his lap, the bullet pierc- ing the palm of his left hand and coming out at the back of the wrist. After that Hitchrick opened the other rear door and fled, Dennius told Ebeling. Dennius reported the shoot- ing to the police around eight o’clock and a search for Hitchrick was start- from the hospital in a few days, at- tending physicians said. No charges have been filed against Hitchrick.

Moodie, state works pro- gress administrator, Thursday stepped. hard on the throttle to speed clearing work on more than 200 projects next week. Employes of the engineering de- partments and the finance and counts division were working “day and night,” Moodie reported, to get projects under way.

Langer is scheduled to be retried on the charges Oct. 28, although actual opening of the trial is expected to be delayed until Tuesday. On trial with him will be former State Highway Commissioner Frank Vogel, State Senator Oscar Erickson. chairman of the Republican state former secretary of the state relief organization under Langer.

FEDERAL BUILDING PLANS ARE DRAWN, ENGINEER 1S HERE Former Bismarck Man Is Ob- taining Approvals for Of- fices in Structure ° Robert A. Cohen, engineer with the United States treasury department and former Bismarck resident, is here| this week going over tentative plans for the new $250,000 addition to the federal building. Cohen has blueprints of the pro- new atructure which were drawn by engineers in the procure- ment division of the treasury depart- ment and is acting as official rep- resentative of the government in se- curing approvals for the new offices that will be housed in the remodeled building. Many federal agencies, some of them now already located in Bismarck or with offices in other buildings will have headquarters in the federal building when the addition has been completed, Cohen said. Must Obtain Approval Approval for these must be obtained from-the Was m_headquarters or the government's representatives here before further steps are taken in the construction plans.

D. RURAL AREAS Deadline for Getting Aid to Dis- tressed Farmers Is Set for Nov. 1 Rome, Oct. 24. — (%) — Italy Thursday night officially ordered the withdrawal of one division of troops from Libya, North Africa. (By the Associated Press) With his Fascist legions ready to strike at the interior of Ethiopia from the north and from the south, Mus- solini pressed Paris and London ‘Thursday for action on his peace terms. In Addis Ababa, reports from the southern front said a heavy battle raged on the Webbe Shibeli river in the Ogaden province between the Italians under Genera) Rudolfo Graziani and 200,000 tribal warriors of Emperior Haile Selassie. Dedjazmatch Nasibu, governor of Harar province to the north of Oga- den and one of the commanders on the southern front, told the Associ- ated Press the heavy belated rains still made large scale military opera- tions in the south impossible. Nasibu, after an extensive tour of the southern sector, said the rains would continue for two weeks more. Sporadic Air Raids “The Italian maneuvers thus far,” Nasibu said, “have been confined to sporadic air ftaids and attacks on frontier posts along the Webbe Shi- beli river. “All reports about big battles are pure fiction.” Nasibu’s province, the “Garden Spot of Ethiopia,” is the objective of the Italian armies from both the north and the south. Taking Harar, they would have conquered the east- ern half of Ethiopia, connecting their provinces of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. Some 200,000 Ethiopians are on the Webbe Shibeli to meet Grazini’s at- tacks, In addition, Nasibu has thou- sands more in the mountain ravines and passes at the edge of the Ogaden desert region. Duce’s Peace Terms Mussolini’s peace terms, as pub- lished widely in Paris, include dis- armament of Haile Selassie’s empire; an Italian protectorate over the east- ern half of the empire, of which Ha- rar is the metropolis; and an inter- national protectorate over the west- ern central regions, in which is lo- cated Addis Ababa, Tl Duce—after making a gesture to- ward a better understanding with Great Britain in ordering the with- drawal of a division of troops from Libya, bordering Egypt on the west —pressed upon Premier Pierre Laval for action on these terms. In authoritative circles close to La- val, there was an openly expressed belief neither Great Britain nor France would accept such terms. ‘ Selassie Scorns Proposals Haile Selassie has abruptly refused to consider any such proposals. In London, Italy’s peace proposals received a cold shoulder and it was emphasized anew the end of hostilities in East Africa must be on a basis ac- ceptable to the League of Nations, which labeled the Fascist dictator the in his conquest. In the circle about Laval, it. was be- leved Mussolini “had a growing feel- ing he had bitten off more than he could chew.” i. In other words—Italy, while it talks peace with other powers who are backing the League, wants the dead- line for putting sanctions into effect delayed. : To Fix Date Oct. 31 On Oct. 31, the League of Nations New York, Washington, Oct. 24—(#)—The re- settlement administration announced Thursday it would provide ald for 23,000 new emergency farm relief cases in North and South Dakota. Punds are expected to be allotted this week and W. W. Alexander, acting administrator, said final instructions soon would go forward. Five thousand of the new cases will be in South Dakota and 18,000 in North Dakota where a short crop.ac-, centuated the farm relief problem. Resettlement officials have set No- vember 1 as the deadline for getting relief to these farmers and hoped ac- tion might be even more rapid. The resettlement administration al- ready is responsible, Alexander said, for 12,000 rural rehabilitation cases in South Dakota as a result of transfer of the assets of the South Dakota rural rehabilitation corporation. Since the assets of the North Da- kota rural rehabilitation corporaation never have been transferred to the re- settlement administration Alexander sald, it cannot care for the present rural rehabilitation cases there, It is preparing to take responsibility, how- ever, for 18,000 new cases in an emer- gency rehabilitation program, WILLSON HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF PROGRAM E. A. Willson, state acting director of resettlement administration, said Thursday he had received no word from Washington regarding provision of aid for new farm families in North Dakota. Referring of farm families on relief rolls to resettlement is going forward, he explained, but certification of these cases is awaiting method of pro- cedure to be outlined by Washington.
