RRA IS TRYING 10 KEEP MEN ON FARM Aim Is to Place Destitute Fam- ilies on Plane Where They Can Earn Own Way Editor’s Note: This is the sec- ond of a series of three articles on the work of the Resettlement ‘Administration. By JOSEPH L. DAILEY, (Assistant Administrator Resettle- ment Administration) The Resettlement Administration has a rehabilitation program today because millions of farm people are in danger of starving or becoming permanent relief charges unless they are given a new chance to readjust their farming through scientific plan- ning. ‘ In order to reestablish destitute and low-income farm families on a firm economic footing we have undertaken tw do three things: first, to see that the farmers have adequate land on which to farm; second, to see that they have adequate equipment with which: to carry on farming -6pera- tions; and third, to see that they have adequate technical advice in farm management. Loans‘are made for the purchase of farm. }, for the renting of land, for they. of farm, equipment and Baneee “end for subsistence. Re- these loshs is partially payment assured by mzortgages apd | property and crops. ° assurance which the lens on that these families have a permanent basis for rehabilitation. This is fur- nished by the farm management plan which the farmer agrees to follow. ‘These plans are carefully worked out but the farmer with the help of the county rehabilitation supervisor and the county agricultural extension agent. The immediate aim of these plans is to provide a means whereby the farmer can support his family and pay his debts to the Re- settlement Administration and to other creditors. The ultimate pur- pose is to furnish the farmer with a live-at-home program of diversified farming and intelligent land use which will in some measure insure him against economic conditions. @ small loan, which will be repaid, and agricultural advice many @ good farmer has been saved to con- tinue the intelligent cultivation of his own farm. Final Arguments in Mill City Row Ready Minneapolis, March 26.—(P)—At- torneys Thursday were preparing to make final arguments Friday before Judge Martin Hughes in Hennepin county district court in the injunction suit sought by the Strutwear Knitting company to prevent picketing at its plant, closed since last August by la- bor troubles.

Army searchlights at Honolulu, RRA CLIENTS MAY GET AAA BENEFITS Committee Studies Plan to Ex- tend Soil Subsidy Payments to Rehabilitated Washington, March 26.—(?)—More than half a million growers of farm products may receive double benefits from the govenment if a plan dis- closed by Rexford G. Tugwell is finally approved. , Tugwell’s announcement Wednes- day night that a special committee is studying a plan under which rural rehabilitation clients may also re- ceive soil subsidy payments created much interest in the capital. As head of the rural resettlement administration Tugwell is in charge of the granting of government loans to put rural families on their feet. There are now 450,000 recipients of such loans, and the number is ex- pected to increase to 525,000 by July. The rehabilitation rolls are com- posed of rural families who were on relief, or about to go on relief, and who are granted loans to make them self-supporting. Under the new plan, they also would obtain full subsidy payments in connection with the soil conservation program now getting under way as a Successor to the invalidated agricul-| ture adjustment act. Officials said that the rehabilita- tion clients already are under obliga- tion to treat their soil wisely. Before a family can obtain a rehabilitation loan, it must agree to follow a farm management plan drafted by the gov- ernment. The rehabilitation rolls, it was,said, contain many families who did not receive benefits under the old AAA program.

NO PERIL 10 PEACE LEGISLATION SEEN IN JUDGE'S RULING President’s Embargo on Arms to Gran Chaco War Held Invalid Act Washington, March 26—(?)—Sena- torial students of arms embargoes expressed the opinion Thursday that the recently enacted neutrality legis- lation would escape the fate which overtook a 1934 embargo in a New York court decision Wednesday. Federal Judge Mortimer W. Byers tuled in New York that a con sional resolution under which - dent Roosevelt embargoed exports of arms to Bolivia and Paraguay in the Gran Chaco hostilities was invalid. He said the resolution, empowering the president to proclaim the em- bargo if he believed it might assist Peace, was a faulty di fon of power, permitting the executive to act on opinion rather than on a find- ing of fact. Senator Nye (Rep. N. D.) pointed out Thursday that the present neu- trality legislation does not grant the president such latitude with regard to arms embargoes. It requires him to proclaim an embargo when two foreign nations go to war. It would be “exceedingly difficult,” Nye said, to show that the new neu- trality law constituted an invalid delegation of powers. He said it gives the president no “great blanket Power” becaus~ its authors “carefully avoided” such a grant. Be a good Samaritan. In- vite them to dinner at the Prince.
