SEED LOANS Advances Can Not Average More Than $100 Per Family, Cummins Declares North Dakota has been allotted $450,000 in federal Resettlement ad- ministration funds for seed loans to 4,500 farmers who have been unable to obtain loans from the Farm Credit administration, it was announced Thursday by Robert B. Cummins, di- rector of the National Emergency council for the state. Cummins said he was informed by ‘Cal Ward, Lincoln, Neb., regional Re- settlement agency head, that this ‘money will be made available imme- diately. South Dakota was allotted $450,000 also, and Nebraska will re- ceive $80,000 for this purpose, he said. Under the new allottment, Cum- mins said, the loans in the state can- not average more than $100. The checks will be issued through the United States treasury representative in Bismarck to speed up the loans, and application forms will be avail- able probably Monday or Tuesday, Cummins said. Applications will be handled through the offices of the county supervisors of the Resettle- ment administration. The applications will ‘be approved by officers acting under ‘Wood, state Resettlement director, Cummins said.

Morgenthau said prepayment of the bonus was partly responsible for the huge figure by which he sald ex- penditures in the 12-months ending June 30. In recommending that the senate add to the $803,000,000 house tax bill the temporary taxes asked by President Roosevelt, Morgenthau also estimated that the 1937 deficit would be $2,675,000,000. Bonus Is Difference He said that except for the bonus Payment voted by congress, thi would have been declining deficits in both years. In his budget message ‘Mr. Roosevelt had emphasized that the treasury deficits were declining. Morgenthau’s deficit estimates were given as he was questioned by the senate finance committee after read- ing a statement advocating enactment of the chief executive’s tax recom- mendations in order to protect federal credit. Appearing as the first witness as the finance committee opened hear- ings on the bill passed Wednesday by & 267 to 93 house vote, the treasury chief said federal credit depended upon “scrupulous adherence to an ord- erly program looking to a balance of the federal budget just as soon as the needs and abilities of our people make that possible and thereafter upon a steady reduction in the public debt.” Assailed By Business y The oti ey tax program has States as offering a blow to a ment and business recovery. President Roosevelt's suggestion for temporary processing taxes did not reossye committe approval in the jouse. Morgenthau, said the president's Proposal for taxing tions on a basis of percentages of undistributed income, was merely an extension of the axation. according to The treasury secretary, disclosed that. this new corporate tax plan, estimat- ed to yield $620,000,000 annually in permanent revenue, would raise only '$310,000,000 for the first fiscal year. Delays Receipts “It must be recognized,” he said, “that the choice of an income tax as the means for raising additional rev- enue necessarily involves a delay in realization of increased receipts. “Receipts from taxes on corporate incomes for the calendar year 1936 (Continued on Page Two) ACTRESS ROW WITH PLAY WRIGHT ENDS IN NEW YORK SHOOTING Sidney Kingsley Finds Young Sweetheart, Doris Dudley, Slightly Wounded New York, April 30.—()—A lovers’ attempt- | ; regi Ese 400 RELIEF CLIENTS ORKING ON VARIOUS BURLEIGH PROJECTS 50 Needy Drop From Rolls as They Find Jobs in Private Employment Field ANTICIPATE FURTHER SLASH Highways, Sewers, Parks and Sanitation Claim Biggest Share of Laborers Moderating spring weather has put new vigor in the construction crews working on Burlefgh county’s half- million dollar works progress adminis. tration program. Four hundred men and women, only 50 short of the peak total last fall, are at work on the widely diversified projects, supervised by Gordon Moore, ere | county WPA work director; T. R. At- kinson, city and county engineer, and the county welfare board. Moore said that approximately 50 of the relief workers had gone back into private employment and that a further decrease in available labor might be anticipated now that spring construction and farm work has got- ten fully under way. Biggest of the present WPA pro- grams in the county is the grading and gravelling of 100 miles of feeder roads, started last November and em- ploying as many as 75 men at the peak period. This project involves an estimated expenditure of $189,000 of which $134,000 will be for labor and $55,000 for materials. Other major projects under con- struction include: Penitentiary sewer, $40,000. New administration building at the municipal airport, $40,000. General park project, $63,000. Community sanitation, $41,000. Surplus commodities and sewing room projects, cost not estimated. Garage at waterworks. Every possible precaution is taken to insure the laborers of the maximum of safety while working on the var- jous projects as attested to by the hundreds of jacks supporting the walls of the penitentiary sewer exca- vation and the backsloping of all sand pits from which gravel is hauled. Reg- ular safety reports are made out and emergency equipment is always on hand for immediate use. Seek Safety Consciousness J. R. Van Dyke, state WPA safety Consultant, said that the aim of the safety program is to make everyone safety minded. Unless every man and woman, from the administrative of- fices down, is safety conscious we will Rot get the results desired, he said. Four crews of 25 men each have been working steadily in the construc- tdon of the extension on the Main Ave. sewer to the state prison. The project, started last October, is now nearing completion.

GENTLE RAINS FALL TO ENHANCE SLOPE AREA CROP OUTLOOK .23 Inches of Precipitation. Re- corded in Bismarck Up to 2 P. M. Rain crept up from the. south Thursday and materially improved the crop prospect for North Dakota. The entire southern half of the state was receiving the gentle drizzle, every drop of which soaked into the ground, At 2 p. m., the precipitation at Bis- marck was .23 inch but the prospect was that this would be greatly en- hanced before the rain stopped. Al- though the official forecast, made by the official weather prophet at Chi- cago, was for clearing weather Thurs- day night, O. W. Roberts, federal weather man in Bismarck, said there was a possibility that the drizzle might continue most of the night. S. D. Is Doused Good rains fell in South Dakota ‘Wednesday and precipitation was re- ported in southeastern North Dakota counties before 7 a. m., Thursday. This condition spread northward and eastward as the day advanced. Roberts was of the opinion that the rain might reach into the northern part of the state before it quit but at 1 p. m. no rain was falling at Un- derwood in McLean county, although the sky there was overcast. The rain came as farmers were be- ginning to worry about the lack of precipitation. As of Thursday morn- ing the records here showed that rain- fall since Jan. 1 was 1.38 inches be- low normal. Because the snow of last winter remained on the ground until the spring thaws, however, the soil was in better condition than the fig- ures indicated. Showers Reported In addition, numerous showers have been reported in the territory around Bismarck during the last week and these have benefited the locali- ties in which they fell. Thursday’s jhenomenon, however, was the first genera] rainfall of the year and will do much to help ger- minate seed already in the ground, make it easier to plow and speed the growth of pastures. In southwestern Minnesota heavy rainfall was accompanied by wind which reached a velocity of 55 miles an hour and did considerable damage to farm buildings.

Highway Patrolman Oran Pape Mortally Wounds Gunman Before He Succumbs Muscatine, Iowa, April 30.—(7)— State Highway Patrolman Oran H. Pape; former University of Iowa foot- ball star, died in a hospital early Thursday of a bullet wound from the gun of a highway bandit he had shot and killed. He was 28 years old. His mother, Mrs. Charles O. Pape of Du- buque, Iowa, and his brother Vern, were at his bedside. Blurting out a story of a gun battle with a holdup man who showed him no quarter, he died after an emerg- ency operation. The bullet struck him in the stomach. He was admin- istered a blood transfusion but failed to rally, and only partially regained consciousness. Pape was the first member of the Towa highway patrol, organized last year, to die from a gunman’s fire. The bullet was fired from the stolen gun of a man identified by Police Chief Sam Kelly of Davenport as Roscoe R. Barton, 23, of Davenport. Own Gun Kills Him Shot through the head with his own gun, the man police identified as Barton died shortly after his encoun- ter with Pape on Highway 61 11 miles east of here late Wednesday. Chief Kelly said Barton was known to have been involved in a break-in at the Davenport armory, in which a number of guns were stolen in 1934, Dr. A. L. Bryan said the revolver slug plowed through the middle of Pape’s body as he fought to wrest: the gun from his assailant at close quarters, Pape encountered Barton on the highway near Fairport about 5 p. m., ‘driving a stolen‘car. Pape stopped the car to investigate. The man drew his gun, ordered Pape into the car with him and started to drive away. >. . Pape Grabs for Gun Pape grabbed for the gun with which he was covered. The man fired point blank, ripping a hole in the officer’s abdomen. Pape wrested his gun from him and sent a bullet through his head. He signaled pass- ing motorists, who rushed him to a Muscatine hospital. The gunman, mortally wounded, was brought to the hospital in an ambulance, but died before aid could be administered. Pape was graduated from the Uni- versity of Iowa in 1929. AUSTRIAN MILITARY FORCE MANEUVERS ON GERMAN BORDER Nothing Unusual, Says Vienna, But Other Capitals Specu- late on Action Vienna, April 30.—(4)—An Austrian military force of about 1,450 men has moved into the Alpine region near the southern border of Germany, Vi- enna officials said Thursday, to en- gage in regular spring maneuvers. A war office authority emphasized that there was nothing unusual in the nature of the exercises, and asserted the usual spring .practices were be- ing conducted om an even smaller scale than has been customary in the past. ‘The Austrian troops movements, al- though discounted by Vienna offi- cials as routine spring maneuvers, immediately raised speculation in diplomatic quarters of other European capitals over relations between Aus- tria and Germany. Some Paris officials declared a be- Mef that a Nazi putsch in Austria was “very ” French officials expressed belief that Germany would not undertake to achieve Anschluss (union of the Reich and Austria) “until the Rhins land fortifications are completed.’ Fuad Entombed While Son Talks With King Cairo, Egypt, April 30—(4)—King Fuad I, Egypt’s constitutional mon- arch, was entombed in the Royal Mosque at Alrifaey Thursday after being borne from Abdin palace, on a gun carriage draped with the nation- al flag, through the heart of his capital. . King Fuad went to his last rest- ing place, unaccompanied by the new king, his son, the 16-year-old Farouk, who went to Buckingham palace in London, while the funeral procession was passing through Cairo, and was closeted with King Edward for half jan hour. King Farouk was expected to leave London Thursday afternoon for Cairo.

For two sessions Democratic lead- ers have been seeking to forestall a vote on the bill, opposed by the ad- ministration as inflationary. Some house observers traced the sudden signing up of the petition to results of some recent primary elec- tions, ‘The measure would authorize the government to issue new money up to $3,000,000,000, with which it would re- finance all farm mortgages at 1% per cent each, principal and interest, over an estimated 47-year period. The house agriculture committee approved the bill early last session, but it has rested in the rules com- mittee since. Two hundred and eighteen consti- tutes a majority of the house, but there is no way of telling until the bill is voted on whether those who signed to get it out gor consideration will support its passage. The time of @ vote is uncertain. Rep. Berlin (Dem.-Pa.), smiling broadly, told reporters he expected to call the bill up May 11. He predicted it would “pass by 2 to 1 if it comes up on a fair basis.” Rep. Bonald (Dem.-Pa.), the Demo- cratic whip, who said he polled the house on the bill, has predicted it would be crushed. Finstad Is Reelected Creamerymen’s Head TENSION RELAXES IN FACE OF CONQUERING MARCH ON CAPITAL Italian Press Suddenly Adopts Conciliatory Attitude To- ward London CRITICAL PERIOD IS PAST Lake Tana Now Key to Peace Between Two Nations, Egypt and Ethiopia (By the Associated Press) ‘The Italian offensive toward Addis Ababa reached the high plateau Thursday before the Ethiopian capi- tal as Emperor Haile Selassie re- appeared in the city to confer with the United States minister-resident to the Negus’ kingdom, Press dispatches received at Rome reported the forces of Field Marshal Pietro Badoglio within artillery shot of the city. An unconfirmed dispatch said the advance guard of the Black Shirts had entered the capital at 10 a. m. Badoglio officially reported the oc- cupation by his southern soldiers of Sasa Baneh, gateway to Harar, sec- ond city of the empire, Tension between Italy and Great Britain has decreased, reliable sources in Rome reported, although the Fascist troops have occupied Lake he in Ethiopia, source of the Blue ie. An Italian press ministry denial that @ special envoy had been sent to London to negotiate an Ethiopian settlement failed to shake off a grow- ing belief in informed circles that Italy and Britain were seeking a basis for an African agreement. Newspaper Conciliatory The Newspaper Popolo di Roma, which follows closely the trend of the government's diplomacy, published a conciliatory front-page editorial ‘Thursday in comment on a recent in- terview given by George Bernard Shaw, the noted British author. “Shaw believes that an Anglo- ‘Italian conflict is impossible, We do likewise,” the editorial said. ‘The newspaper proceeded to explain patiently its thesis that Italy was not to blame for the Geneva crisis, but that the League was “dead before the Ethiopian war started.” Another angle of Italo-British re- lations was raised as informed sources expressed belief that competition be- tween the two nations for Egyptian friendship was responsible for an eleventh-hour change in the sailing plans of the new King Farouk of Egypt. Farouk Egypt Bound The 16-year-old Farouk, returning to his homeland from England to take the throne of his father, King Fuad, who died Tuesday, was to have arrived in Venice Thursday on the Paris Express, and to have sailed for Egypt on the de luxe Italian liner Victoria. The Lloyd Triestino company was notified, however, that the royal res- ervation was canceled, and that Farouk would sail instead from Mare seille, aboard the British liner Vice- roy of India. Lake Tana, at the headquarters of the Blue Nile, has become the key piece in the diplomatic puzzle involv- ing Italy, Britain, Egypt and Ethiopia. Italian press dispatches from the southern front said it was notable that Ogaden province chieftains had begun to surrender to the Italians, Nasibu Still Armed ‘The dispatches, however, quoted prisoners as saying the army of Ras Nasibu, standing between the south- ern Italian army and Harar, second city of Ethiopia, was perfectly armed, with warriors and wives ready to fight side by side, The motorized northern column, in the fifth day of its drive from Dessye toward Addis Ababs, was reported to have turned due west for the final push against Emperor Haile Selassie’s capital. ‘The last communique from Marshal Pietro Badoglio announced occupa- tion of Macfud, about 170 kilometers (about 106 miles) from Dessye, while unofficial reports said the column reached Koro Gassa.
