Hulit and Ballard appeared in be- half of the bill by Rep. Lemke, (Rep., N.

May Cost $4,285,000,000 Representative Lemke urged prompt action to set up the commis- sion, with broad powers to keep drouth and dust storms from “turn- ing the country into a desert.” The Proposed program was estimated to Cost ultimately $4,285,000,000.

The “committee of 13,” of the League of Nations which adjourned Friday to meet next Thursday, re- quested that Dr. Augusto Vascon- cellos of Portugal, president of the League’s sanctions committee, con- voke that body “when he considers it useful in the interest of peace.” Tt was also decided that the mem- bers of the sanctions committee should be warned that their pres- ence may be required at any moment. Unconfirmed repor circulated among the delegates that Premier Mussolini intends to enthrone a pup- pet emperor of Ethiopia at Dessye when and if his soldiers subjugate the last strongholds of Emperor Haile Selassie’s forces. Eden, Flandin Argue ‘The session of the committee of 13, composed of every member of the League council except Italy, was marked by wrangling between An- thony Eden, British foreign secretary, and Pierre-Etienne Flandin, French foreign minister. Eden insisted the committee of 13, Peace negotiations id opians have announced that they will refuse any direct contact with Italian plenipotentiaries. Flandin remarked that if the Ethi- opians persisted in this attitude, weryone would know who was re- sponsible for the continuation of the war. Eden retorted that the war was & clear case of aggression with the vic- tim sppealing to the Leageu of Ne- tions for help. Locarno powers, simultaneously, resumed their con- sideration of the urgent problem of the Rhineland situation.: A four-power political and military front against Germany was proclaim- ed by a French spokesman to be the aim of France. France insisted upon satisfactory guarantees against any German fortification of the Rhine- land, the spokesman said. The French, holding that Adolf Hitler had made no gesture toward conciliation in the Rhineland, con- sidered that conciliation of the crisis had failed. Therefore, the French spokesman said, the alternative program laid down at London of union of Britain, Prance, Belgium and Italy against Germany should function. Italy Immovable Baron Pompeo Aloisi was believed to have told French Foreign Minister Pierre-Etienne Flandin already that until sanctions were lifted, Italy scarcely would be in a position to make Locarno committments against Germany. France sought a liquidation of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict, and a re- moval of League of Nations penalties from Italy. Italy's military leaders, an informed source said, sought absolute disarma- ment of Ethiopia to turn their East African campaign into s program of police work.

After the Farm Credit administra- tion denied seed loans to resettlement administration clients, the senate ag- riculture committee moved to override the president's veto of a bill appro- priating $50,000,000 for seed loans, The FOA ruling, it was reported, denied seed loans to more than 198,000 familes. The FCA was granted $30,- 000,000 for seed loans, and officials said this amount is being disbursed rapidly. But, it was reported, officials believed there was not enough money jing to include resettlement clients who already were” receiving government | lal aid.

E. Calles, former presi- dent of Mexico, accompanied by three of his former poltical aiaes, being forcibly exiled from Mexico, arrived here by airplane from Mexico City. (Copyright, 1936, Associated Press) Mexico City, April 10.—(#)—Gen, Plutarco Elias Calles, for 11 years the “strong man” of Mexico, was arrested, Friday in a surprise coup by the gove ernment. With him were arrested three of his principal advisers. All four were placed aboard an airs plane carrying them to forced exile in the United States. Federal troops and secret police agents went to the homes of the four men shortly after midnight to make the arrests. In addition to Calles, rested: Luis Morones, former minister of labor; Luis Leon, former minister of the interior and agriculture; Rafael Melchor Ortega, governor Guanajuato. Charged With Bombing The arrests followed the publicas tion of charges by the left wing of the chamber of deputies that Calles was responsible for the bombing of the Vera Cruz train Monday in which 12 persons were killed. The Leftists also claimed that he was fomenting anti-government agi- tation in an attempt to provoke the intervention of the United States in Mexico, Ostensibly, General Calles had re- frained from political activity since December when he returned from six months’ voluntary exile in the United States after losing his control over the nation’s politics last June. Calles was interviewed only Thurs< day by the Associated Press at his Santa Barbara ranch outside the capital. At that time he denied any interest in politics and it was obvious that he had no premonition of his impending exile. Surrounded by Troops At midnight, Gen, Rafael Navarro, commander of the military zone of the Valley of Mexico, threw a strong ee of troops around Santa Bare a. General Navarro and three officers entered Calles’ bedroom where the former president, for four days past, had been ill with influenza, Navarro said: “By the orders of President Cardenas, you must leave Mexico because the conditions of the country so demand.” Calles replied: “I am your prisoner, since I have no forces, and you may take me to an airplane firing squad. I consider that the con- ditions of the country are due, not to me, but to the government itself.” General Calles said he probably would go to San Diego, Calif., to live with his daughter, Mrs, Josefina Torre Blanca, HINDENBURG LINPS | HOME FROM BRAZIL Forced to Seek France's Aid to Permit Taking Shortest Route to Port they are former (Copyright, 1936, Associated Press) Friedrichshafen, Germany, April 10.—The Zeppelin Hindenburg landed here at 11:30 a, m.
