S. 10,000 CHEER AT LINCOLN Agriculture Must Be free of Restriction and Control, He Declares Lincoln, Neb. Jan, 17.—(?)—Her- bert Hoover believes restoration of home markets to farmers accompa- nied by strengthening of agricultural machinery would improve the “still unsolved” farm situation. The former president advocated these policies in an address Thursday - night, the fourth of a series of attacks on the Democratic administration. To aid agriculture, Hoover sug- gested: 1, Restore home markets to Amer- ican farmers and increase consump- tion of food by the restoration of employment. 2, Retire submarginal acres ani retard reclamation projects. : 3. Encourage cooperative market- ing and further improve farm credit machinery. ¢ “The administration of these meth- ods should be handled by the land grant colleges.and the farmers them- selves in order to free agriculture of politics and the vast bureaucracy now loaded upon the farmer,” he said. 10,000 Greet Him ‘Ten thousand persons greeted the Californian with a long ovation when he appeared in the University of Ne- braska coliseum.

Solumbia Broadcasting. System: of- ficials explained that hed they per- mitted Hoover to continue it would have interfered seriously with their program schedule. The talk was Hoover's first since the supreme court smashed the AAA, which the former president charac- terized as “the principle of the eco- nomic dog chasing his tail.” “There should be no attempt to again impose New Deal ideas of con- trolling and regimenting the farmer or restricting production. He must be free of any restriction and control contracts,” he continued. “The farm- er must be an entirely free man to use his own skill and judgment. Re- verse this economy of scarcity to an economy of plenty,” he urged. Says Exports Decreased Commenting on New Deal effects on exports and imports Hoover said American exports had decreased an equivalent of the production of 15,- 000,000 acres. “Did those little pigs we’ve heard 80 much about die that the foreign Pigs might live?” he asked, As a supplement to his farm pro- gram the former president suggested expansion in production of crops which are finding growing demand, namely, those needed by new indus- trial. developments, also the substi- tutes for vast importations of sugar, vegetable oils and other products. He included the proffer of a subsidy to stimulate new uses of land on which surpluses formerly were grown and commented scientists are prepared to manufacture fertilizer from the nitro- gen in the air. “And we still have plenty of free air left. If we run short we can get more, devitalized perhaps, from Washington.” Hoover to Answer FDR Mr. Hoover announced Friday his next public address will bear the same title as President Roosevelt’s recent message to congress on “The State of the Union.” It will be delivered at Portland, Ore,, Feb, 12, A broad smile flashed across his face as he uttered the words “the state, of the union.” It was this speech by Mr. Roosevelt that Mr. Hoover recently said might have been entitled “war on earth and fil will among men.” Although disappoited because it was necessary for tadio men to cut him off the air before he completed his speech last night, Hoover said “radio officials (CBS) were very kind to me. It was entirely my fault that I ran over.” s NOTHING NEW IN HOOVER’ TALK, DEMOCRATS: ASSERT Washington, Jan. 17.—(?)—After reading accounts of Herbert Hoover's Lincoln, Neb., speech and declaring they found “nothing new” in it, Dem- ocrats Friday turned to the task of clearing the decks for the 1936 cam- paign. One part of this task is the mailing out of checks to wipe out the party deficit—a process made possible by the recent Jackson Day dinner re- ceipts and the $200,000 donated by Philadelphia to obtain the national conyention.

Despite implied warnings of new taxes to come and Secretary Morgen- thau’s statement that enactment would increase the treasury’s ‘bor- rowing and refunding operations to $11,300,000,000 in the next 17's months, coalition supporters of the bill fore- cast a topheavy vote for it. The eventual cost to the government is estimated at $2,491,000,000. Esti- mates of the immediate expense range upward from $1,000,000,000—depend- ing on how many of the bonds are {cashed immediately.

Walter Welford of North Dakota, began by naming two committees. One is a ‘ways and means committee. The oth- er is educational. It was developed at the session that there are two main problems, first, the probability that much of the seea in farmers’ hands, which fs light in| weight due to the rust epidemic of 1935, will produce spindly weak plants. lacking in vigor and therefore subject to serious deterioration if subjected to adverse conditions. Second, the lack of seed on many farms’and inability to finance pur- chases. Nearly 100 Attending Attended by nearly 100 leaders in finance, grain dealing and transport- ation of the extension forces in the Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana, the conference was called to order by Governor Welford, who is presiding. Farmers in 21 North Dakota coun-; ties will require about $2,000,000 in seed loans, a tabulation of replies to; 1Governor Welford’s request for in-| formation through county auditors, revealed Friday. Governor Welford’s office in Bis-| marck received telegraphic word from Washington Friday that seed stocks accumulated in the government pro- gram last year are being made avail- able for use in this area. At the present time, according to the information from Washington, the fol- lowing amounts of seed grain adapted to the northwest remain on hand from the su 4 rved forase in the {ene supp ff area in 1935: hard ' durum wheat, 1,000,000 bushels; oats, 2,600,000 bushels; barley, 200,000 bush- els; flax, 75,000 bushels. No Resistant Varieties The seed of newly developed rust- resistant varieties of wheat and oats is not available in large quantities, according to word received by the governor from Chester C. Davis, ad- ministrator of the AAA, and such sup- plies as have been increased from seed stocks released by federal and state experiment station plant breed- ers are largely in the hands of mem- bers of state crop improvement as- sociations and: will be used for seed purposes. The survey of state seed require- ments for 1936, undertaken late last year by Governor Welford, reveal that some counties will need no federal assistance this year, while others will require about the same as a year ago. Tabulation of replies to Governor Welford’s requ2st for seed require- ments from the various counties that completed their surveys follow: | Needs In Adams Adams: 18,000 bushels wheat, 22,000 bushels oats, 18,600 bushels barley; 1,500 bushels corn; 1,200 bushels mil- let; 600 bushels potatoes.

FDR CONFIDENT THAT NEW FARM AID PLAN FILLS AAA PURPOSES Soil Erosion-Conservation ‘Act May Require Next Taxes He Hints DOES NOT ANSWER HOOVER Existing Machinery Will Used to Carry Out New Program Washington, Jan, 17.—(#)—Confi- dence that the new farm plan pro- posed under soil erosion and conserva. tion would carry out the purposes of the dead AAA and bring about what he considered a well rounded agri- cultural development of the nation was expressed Friday by President Roosevelt. The chief executive discussed the agricultural problem at his press con- ference after stipulating that he was not replying to the farm address Thursday night by former president Herbert Hoover. He explained he had not had an opportunity yet to read the Hoover speech. There was an intimation that new |serted he had “expected earlier the to meet the program as a substitute for the old !convcitiees work chow it hen dene taxes might be necessary ered levies killed by the supreme court. Amendments Necessary Mr. Roosevelt said slight amend- ments to the existing soil erosion and conservation atts will be necessary. He reserved any estimate on the amount of money which would be re- quired by the government to lease pcre from farmers under the proposed plan. Some congressional leaders who at- tended Thursday’s White House farm conference had mentioned $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 as necessary for carry- ing out the program in 1936. The president explained the exist- ing Rymeenh npc county agents, would be employ Carrying” out te’ purpeOs OF The act im, “A long time is develop- ing naturally out of the present ad-/ p. justment efforts,” the statement said. “As I see it, this program has’ two principal objectives: Want to Avoid Slump “First, to carry out the declared Policy of congress to maintain and increase the gains thus far made, thereby avoiding the danger of a slump back into the conditions brought about by our national neglect of agriculture. “Second, to broaden present adjust- ment operations so as to give farmers increasing incentives for conservation | and efficient use of the nation’s soil resources. . . .” Mr. Roosevelt said he was uncer- tain whether specific agreements may be made with farmers under the rul- ing of the supreme court, but he was confident of the power of the federal government to lease land. To Maintain Fertility He emphasized that the purpose of the program is to prevent loss of soil fertility. ‘Asked how many acres of major crops would be taken out of produc- tion under the program, the president.

First there were the transfers of various moneys from permanent fund to the bond retirement fund and then the single check of $5,000,000 by State Treasurer John Gray to the Bank of North Dakota to pay for the securities. In addition, officials at the Bank of North Dakota said, sales tax pay- ments are boosting the debits sharp- ly. .Many school districts carry their accounts at the Bank of North Dakota and these are paying their bills more Promptly because of the apportion- ment of sales tax money. In contrast with debits of $21,447,- 000 in December, Bismarck had debits of $11,727 in November and $19,103,- 000 in December a year ago. Trans- actions with the federal land bank were tesponsible for the peak in 193¢. ber, clearings there totalling 000 for December as against $16,724,- 000 in November and $13,467,000 in December, 1934.

They were abruptly thrust aside es Senator Pope (Dem., Ida.) strode into the room to read a biting statement on behalf of himself and Senator George (Dem., Ga.,) that the investigation had “degenerated” into an attack on President Wilson. Both Pope and George are members of the commit- tee. Connally Flays Nye Almost at the same moment, Sen- ator Connally (Dem., Tex.) lashed out in the senate, saying Nye “flagrantly, wantonly and without justification in- sulted” the former president. The uprising grew out of Nye’s as- sertion Wednesday that Wilson ana his secretary of state, Robert Lansing, “falsified” by saying in 1919 that they did not know until'after the war that the Allies had secret treaties for the re-partition of Europe, A secret document not yet pub- lished, together with published state- ments of Lord Balfour, British war- time foreign secretary, Lloyd George and others, amply proved, Nye said, that Wilson and Lansing knew of the treaties before America ‘entered the war. Out of the affray grew these de- velopments: A threat that the munitions com- mittee, its work yet incomplete, might be denied additional funds. Now it is virtually “broke.” May, Lose Force A possibility, seen by some legisiat- ors, that the committee's drive for drastic and mandatory neutrality leg- islation may lose force because of di- vision in its own ranks and opposi- tion of senators outraged by the ac- cusations against Wilson. Nye, target of Connally’s onslaught, said he would reply Friday or as soon as he could get the floor. Repeating his Wilson charges, he said he had no “animus or prejudice.” (Continued on Page Two) Corn Growers Name Crimmins Chairman| ‘#5 Hazelton, N. D., Jan. 17.—(#)—D. C.

Hoffman Defends _ Bruno’s Repriev Governor Angered as Trenton Papers Call for His Im- peachment * (Copyright, 1936 Associated Press) Trenton, N. J., Jan. 17.—()—Strik- ing back at threats of impeachment Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, defended his 30-day reprieve of Burno Richard Hauptmann Friday with a bristling Tetort of his foes. “If impeachment is the price that must be paid for daring to follow the dictates of my conscience, I am ready to pay it,” the 39-year-old governor said in the longest statement he has ever issued on the Lindbergh baby murder case. “A good investigation of the Lind- bergh case might be a healthy thing.” ‘The governor's statement, following the publication in the Trenton State- Gazette and Trenton Evening Times Friday of an editorial entitled “Im- peach Hoffman,” came shortly after an exchange of cablegrams between Attorney-General David T. Wilentz and Dr. John F. Condon (Jafsie) had been made public. Willing to Return The attorney-general advised Con- don that the governor’s course might be construed as a reflection upon the state of New Jersey and the author- ities that investigated the Lindbergh case. Condon offered to return forthright from Cristobal where he arrived Friday. Wilentz said there was no need of it. ‘Governor Hoffman, who has indi- cated a desire to talk with Dr. Con- don, signed the reprieve order Friday morning. It was to be taken by him to the prison Friday afternoon. The condemned man, who was under sen- tence to die at 8 o'clock Friday night, learned of the reprieve late Thurs- day. “Impeachment proceedings repre- sent only one of the threats levelled it me,” the governor said, “if I elected to follow my own sense of duty in this matter. I do not fear them.” “I am moved by no maudlin senti- ment in this matter,” the governor went on. Spurned Opportunity “When Hauptmann was told that his only chance to save his life was to go before the board of pardons, say ‘I am guilty” and throw himself upon, the mercy of the court, he spurned the opportunity. “I am interested in the preserva- tion or inat thing we nave rather proudly called ‘Jersey justice.’” The governor said a representative of a New York newspaper, “in my presence and in the presence of many witnesses,” had offered Hauptmann $75,000 for an exclusive confession. “This offer was rejected” the gov- Mrs, Anna Hauptmann visited her husband in the death house Friday, and when she came out she was smil- happily. “We shall all soon be together again,” she said, “and we'll be very happy.” Wont Change Story Col.

In his letter he explained his remark had been based on “figures that had already received wide currency and which had been uncontra- dicted.” “I am sorry more on your ac- count than on my own,” Ickes told on your account than on my own,” Ickes told Hoover, “that this in- formation was not reliable ...” “It is entirely constitutional to do nothing,” he added. LOUIS MUMBLES AS HE SEES RETZLAFF Charley Exhibits None of ‘Jit- ters’ Joe's Previous Foes Had Chicago, Jan, 17.—(P)—Joe Louis tipped the scales at 199% pounds when he weighed in at noon Friday) for his 15 round fight tonight with Charlie Retzlaff. Retzlaff, North Dakota farmer, weighed 198%. Neither Retzlaff nor his Negro op- ponent spoke to each other during the weighing in ceremonies.at a downtown gymnasium. Louis mumbled to him- self as he looked at the big North Dakotan. After the weighing, the boxers un- derwent physical examinations by a physician for the Illinois boxing com- mission. Joseph Triner, head of the boxing commission, declared Retzlaff appear- ed to be in perfect physical condition and displayed none of the “jitters” evidenced by Primo Carnera, Max After piercing the ice locking the Bay of Whales, a British Royal re- search ship located the American Ellsworth and the Canadian Hollick- Kenyon safely landed there, having exhausted their fuel on a bold pro- jected flight across the south Polar regions. ‘The explorers’ long silence was due to a damaged radio transmitter. A landing party from the Discovery II finaly found them comfortably en- camped on the face of the great ice barrier. First Word Since Nov. 23 Not since they took off Nov. 23 from Dundee island had any word been received from the daring fliers. Hope for their safety was fading. A terse, seven-word message from the master of the Discovery II ended this morning the seven weeks of anxiety. “Ellsworth and Kenyon are both alive and well.” ‘The colonial office later received a message from the Master of the Dis- covery II, describing the finding of the men. “On first arrival in the Bay of Whales, an orange colored (cloth) with a tent was observed on the bar- rier face,” the descriptive message re- ported. “A rocket fired from the ship was not answered, A moth (plane) flew to Little America, five miles distant. Kenyon emerged. A food parachute was dropped with letters. Ellsworth Has Cold “Kenyon advanced and met the ship's party. He was received on board at 12:55 8. m., Jan. 16. He re- ported Ellsworth alive but suffering from a slight cold. “The ship’s party is advancing to meet Ellsworth. “The American airmen state they ran out of fuel 20 miles from Little America, on a bearing of 165 degrees, and sledged in. “Kenyon was very fit. “A transmitter switch caused the radio failure.” Eighteen hours earlier, a partly garbled message had been received from the Discovery II, indicating the two fliers had been found. It was while still trying to confirm that message that the colonial office finallly received its. twofold reports that Ellsworth and Hollick-Kenyon were safe. Had Given Up Hope Members of Hollick-Kenyon’s fam- ily in London had given up hope two weeks ago for his rescue. His aunt, Mrs. H. V. Kenyon, wife of the Mayor of Paddington, said, “We thought six weeks was the limit. We had no news and feared the worst. “Only a few days ago, my husband wrote Herbert’s mother in Canada, condoling her for the loss of her son.” Delighted at the news that the men were found, Admiral Sir William Goodenough, former president of the Royal Geographical society, asserted: “That shows what enterprise can do when carried out with forethought.” | Points Out "ifficulties | Pointing out that it was often {difficult to communicate by wireless from the south polar regions because of atmospheric conditions, Sir Wil- {liam commented on the meagre news: | “The whole world will rejoice to iknow that these two brave men have come through safely.” First word that Ellsworth and Hol- lick-Kenyon, objects of an intensive search, might at last have been found came with receipt of a message yes- terday from the Discovery II that it had sighted an airplane and a man on the Bay of Whales. Neither the airplane nor the man, however, was then identified. A colonial office official Thursday night said it could only be presumed that the man must be either Ells- worth or Hollick-Kenyon, since no other persons are known to be in that vicinity of Little America.
