THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3 2 NORBECK PROPOSES _ SURPLUS ACREAGE PURCHASE BY U. &. New Farm Aid Plan Broached|. as Permanent Crop Control Program for Nation Washington, Feb. 3.—(P)—A pro- posal for permanent crop control through federal purchase of surplus ecreage gained headway in congress Monday. Senator Norbeck (Rep.-S. D.) was expected to offer it as a supplement to the Roosevelt plan for crop contro} through soil conservation subsidies. ‘The latter program faced its first baptism of fire in the senate Monday as Senator Bankhead (Dem.-Ala.) sought to bring it up for debate. The new proposal was advanced more as a long range than an immed- date plan because of the pressure to get the administration's program in- to operation before cotton planting gets underway on a large scale in the south. A move was underway to include suthorization for the land purchase system in the current legislation, so that if subsidized soil conservation “should be thrown out by the courts, the government would have authority to go ahead with the buying program The government would buy 50,000,000 ficres, including highly productive and sSubmarginal areas, at an estimated cost of $2,500,000,000. The expendi- ture would be spread over 2) years, the annual cost being $125,000.000 plus interest. Advanced by Harold Oldham, Des Moines business man, the plan com-! bines some old ideas with new ones. With the government pianning to Spend $500,000,000 a year under the soil conservation plan, Oldham con- tended his proposal would actually be cheaper, simpler and more effective. To encourage farmers to produce crops which are now imported, Old- ham would have the government rert them the purchased land, at low enough rentals to constitute a subsidy without a cash outlay, for mental production of commodities in which there is a domestic shortage.

For verification he exhibited Biev- er's billfold, containing five one-dol- lar bills, the total loot of the crime which cost two lives. Tells All Circumstances Narrating the circumstances lead- ing up to the crime, Cleveland told of his trouble and of his frantic quest for money so he could marry the girl. It led him first to the bank and then into crime. The story of the murders itself was one of killing in cold blood, Cleveland went to the Biever filling station and lunchroom and was there several hours, He had left the double- barreled shotgun outside the place. When everyone else had left, he went outside and got the gun. Com- ing back into the lunchroom he level- led it at Biever and blazed away, filling Biever's body with slugs. There was no conversation and no demand for money.

Hall of Fame Names Five Diamond Stars Chicago, Feb. 3.—(P}—The names of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Hans Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter John- son will be perpetuated in baseball's hall of fame, but fandom will have to wait another year to learn who their five mates of the modern era will be. The initial list of stars of the span from 1900 to the present was to have included 10 names, There were no doubts in the mind of players and sportswriters who cast 226 votes in the poll, that these five merited places in the memorial hall to be erected at Cooperstown, N. ¥., in time for the game's centennial in 1939.

Staggers Toward Door While Cleveland was searching Biever, he said. Mrs. Biever struggled to her feet and staggered toward the outside door. ‘ Whereupon Cleveland hit her over the head with the barrel of the gun, knocking her senseless. His almost futile search for money ended, Cleveland got some gasoline from the pump, poured it about the place and set fire to it. ‘ Leaving the place he walked 12 miles through the cold and snow to the Oeder home at Sheldon, The investigation by officials began | with a check of persons who had been seen about the .place.
