In genera], he said, the farm lead- jers sought a means of avoiding the {kind of surpluses that wrecked prices in the past. Men from the great plains area— dissenting from the earlier report of 100 farm leaders which stressed “re- vival of the old AAA” and mentioned crop insurance only incidentally— asked the secretary of agriculture “to work out a practical plan of crop in- aurene to start on the wheat crop of Some quarters believed administra- tion farm leaders hoped to work out {a production control program combin- ling the insurance plan and a revision {of the present soil conservation act. Another farm development was an agriculture department report that contained a reminder of this year’s drouth.

How much money will be requested has not yet been decided, but Presi- dent Roosevelt indicated that, because of drouth relief, the current approp- tiation of $1,425,000,000 for work re- ef will not prove adequate. This was only one of a score of subjects. Mr, -Rangevels. touched. upon Mn a press conference late Tuesday as teporters asked him many questions. Among his responses to queries were hese: ese: Gives Amendment No Thought ‘That he has given no thought to the question of seeking a constitutional amendment to give congress power to legislate cértain social reforms. ‘That the new sliding scale of wages announced in the steel industry is @ move toward a more stable economy and away from the fluctuations of the past. That he foresees no necessity for ad- ditional taxes to operate the govern- ment next fisoal year. Question For Cungress That the question of changing the new taxes on undistributed earnings of corporations will be for the approp- riate congressional committees to pon- der.

Where sovereignty rests. in the breast of each individual citizen the value of strong opposition will remain. Referring to the recent election as a clear mandate to the president to) the carry on the New Deal, he said that from the farmers standpoint the ad- ministration “met the great problems of depression and low prices with courage and detergnination,” but gave it as-his view that some of the tem- porary legislation should be repealed or amended. At the same time he urged that the Grange, now in its seventieth year, continue the policy of aloofness from partisan politics because it must work with whoever is elected. serious, in developing the science arid or new government department and thus giving it a permanent status.

D, Nov. 11—(7)— Missing since he disappeared from his Aberdeen, 8.

N. Hamilton said. He was reported to have left the hotel on Oct. 23 and has not been heard from since. Dealinhams, a widower and child- less, may have been an amnesia vic- tim.
