“ OKLAHOMA'S VOTES AT GOP CONVENTION WIL GO TO LANDON Republican Keynote Address to Be Delivered at Night From Cleveland ‘Washington, March 17.—()—Sup- porters of- Alf M. Landon pressed on with their presidential drive Tuesday elated by the knowledge that the Kansas governor is assured of the 21 votes of Oklahoma at the coming Re- publican national convention. Even as the state's convention adopted the unit rule throwing its full party strength to the Kansan, his Name figured in a hot intro-party dispute. Louis Levand, publisher of the Wichita Beacon, charged Senator Borah of Idaho, avowed candidate for the Republican nomination, with mak- ing “baseless insinuations” against Landon. . Borah quickly denied it atid told Levand “You owe Governor Landon an apology for your blundering de- fense of him when no defense was called for.” The publisher's communication tc Borah was based on the latter’s charge that “the Standard Oil company” was mixing in Oklahoma's Republican pol- itics, Another convention development included the announcement from Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican national committee, that the keynote address at Cleveland June 9, will be given at night to afford the general public a chance to hear the broadcast.

His statement coincided with an agreement by senate and house con- ferees on the $2.889,751,905 independ- ent offices supply bill to the senate additions of $440,000.000 for the first year’s operation of the farm subsidy law and $1,730,000,000 for prepay- ment of the soldiers’ bonus. . Directors of the old AAA commod- ity sections were named as regional directors for the respective divisions. The commodity sections, which ope- rated the cotton, wheat, corn-hog and tobacco adjustment programs, are discontinued under the new setup. New Divisions The new divisions with directors, include: North central-Ohio, Michigan, In- diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mis-) souri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota; Gerald B. Thorne, former director of the division of livestock and feed grains. Western-North Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, &nd Wash- ington: George E. Farrell, former di- rector of the division of grains, Wallace said the new regional divi- sions would complete the work of the; former divisions in liquidating the AAA production control program. The appropriation bill reappropriated $30,000,000 of old AAA funds in ad- dition to the $440,000,000. Other Units Unaffected The order signed by Waliace leaves undisturbed these other administra- tive units of the old AAA division of ‘marketing and marketing agreements, division of program planning, and division of consumers’ counsel. In addition, Wallace said, the old AAA sugar section would continue to ad- minister quotas and other phases in connection with a sugar program. Headquarters of the regional divi sions will be maintained in Washing- ton. However, under the new organ- ization, Wallace said much of the ad- ministrative work of examining and auditing producers’ applications for subsidies for soil conserving would be done in the states instead of in the capital. Howard R. Tolley, acting AAA ad- ministrator, said “we hope to an- nounce details of the new program within the next few days.” Field or- ganizations will inelude the state com- mittee, the county committee and community committees, all composed for the most part of farmers. Davis Denies Timing A denial by Chester C. Davis that the government times the flow of checks to farmers so as to swing elec- tions was contained in a house com- mittee report published Tuesday. Davis, AAA administrator, testified) in recent hearings on an appropria- tion bill, that subsidy payments under the new $440,000,000 farm program probably would begin about next August or September. “We will start as soon as the tarm- er can prove that he shifted the lands from intensive use and that te put it into positive soil-building uses, and as soon as that can be checked and verified and the papers come in and the payments can be made, they are going to be made.” CONTINUED Constitution Held Chief Bulwark of American Liberty with powers that will serve as a check on @ congress or an executive that would exceed its or his prerogatives. Burke recalled that the supreme ccurt has exercised its checking power since 1801 when John Marshall, fa- mous chief justice, handed down his clearcut decision in the case of Mar- bury vs. Madison, Further steps in the development of this court power were pointed out by Burke, particularly the case of Mc- Culloch vs. Maryland in which the court first stated the opinion, “The power to tax is the power to destroy.” g | The case involved the attempt of the state of Maryland to tax a branch of the United States bank at Baltimore. 7} The gist of the opinion was that the federal government itself would face destruction if states were allowed to use their taxing power, or vice versa Pct.| that the states faced destruction if WEATHER AT OTHER POINTS Low- Highs est est se Amarillo, Texas, clear . 56.00 Idaho, clay. 40 00 er, Colo., cldy.".. 32 Des Moines, Iowa, Peldy. 28 Bodge City, Kans,, clear 28 ton, Alt: the trend was in the other direction. Balance Wheel of Nation “Present agitation,” Burke asserted, take away this power of declaring acts of the congress unconstitutional would destroy all constitutional limi- tations, and @ majority of congress could do anything,” in emphasizing the fact that since 1789 the court has been the balance wheel of the nation. “If congress has not the power to enact laws which are necessary for the continued welfare of the country, the remedy is to amend the constitu- tion to give congress the necessary power, but the grant should always be within certain definite limits,” Burke asserted. “To destroy the power of the eourt would be to destroy the safeguard of liberty and our government then would provide no more safeguards for the individual than do the govern- ments of the Fascists, Nazis and Communists.” Committeemen Report Prios to Burke's address, the asso- oe r t Butler Is 70 Today { JUSTICE PIERCE BUTLER Washington, March 17.—(®)— Pierce Butler, associate justice of the supreme court, observed his 70th birthday Tuesday and auto- matically became sixth member of the highest court eligible to re- tire.

The speakers were Arthur Peterson, commissioner, and A. H. Erickson, de- puty commissioner. Peterson explained the object of the North Americgn Wild Life con- ference in Washington last year was designed to co-ordinate all of .the game groups in the country in the belief that one large group vould ac- complish what all the smaller groups measures, He said that the western group (all organizations west of the Mississippi river) had adopted a constitution) drawn up by one of the country’ foremost game conservationists, J. “Ding” Darling. Tells of Native Birds Erickson, who explained he had observed wild waterfowl in Grass Lake, township, Burleigh county, for 20 years, listed the various geese, ducks and swans that ordinarily nest in North Dakota and explained their habits. Of the eight species of geese, Erick- son said, the most prominent in North| Dakota is the Canadian Honker, which weighs from 9 to 16 pounds. These birds begin breeding in their ie year, he observed, and mate for e The 14 species of ducks, he said, are deep water classifications. Shallow water ducks nest on the ground and trees near water while the deepwater ducks build their nests in reeds, six or eight inches above water. ie ing types of shallow water birds while the canvas backs, redheads, golden eye, buffalo head and wood ducks| build their nests in reeds. A census last summer revealed that 34 per cent of ducks in North Dakota are mallards, 23 per cent pintails, 17 per cent teals and 11 per cent spoon- bills, he said. ‘There is no excuse for a hunter mis- taking a swan for a snow goose, the deputy said. The swan, in addition to being much larger, is completely white, while the snow goose always has black markings. Expects Plenty of Birds Erickson said that despite the hard winter just experienced, he feels no need for alarm over the upland game bird situation, pa be plentiful in North Dakota next all. ° In giving the Kiwanis charge to two new membets of the club, T.

Says Farmers Will- | Like Conservation Belief that the simplicity of the new farm adjustment system, the freedom from written contracts and the fact that the nidividual farmer tan deter- ‘mine for himself what crops to plant and how many acres of them will cause more farmers .to. participate than was the case with the old AAA was expressed here Tuesday by Wal- ter J. Maddock, # Farmers Union leader. He estimated the increase as compared with AAA contract signers at about a million. Pointing out that the new law pro- vides only two classifications for crops, those which deplete and those which |conserve the soll, Maddock said the $500,000,000 appropiration will pay 'N.|farmers for 5 to 15 per cent of their acreage being placed classification, A county average of soil depleting and soil conserting crops will be worked out, he said, and each farm unit will be measured by its ratio of those crops to the general county av- erage. There will |: no penalties for fail- ing to meet the requirements and de- termination of the status of each farmer will be made by @ committee which he had a voice in electing.
