~ PLANS PUSHED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION TO HELP LIVESTOCK Federal and State Officials Confer on Ways and Means to Aid Needy State and federal officials Tuesday | pushed plans for immediate action te) meet an emergency need of approxi¢ mately $10,009 for livestock and poul- try which may mount as high as $100,- 009 in western North Dakota for De- cember. Laying’ aside a proposal by Gover -elect William Langer to call a al session of the legislature as “too slow a method” Gov. Walter Wel- ford held a mecting of the emergency ; board to approve expenses of polling; itiment of legislative members, and Washington whether emergency funds could be made available from the North Da- kota Rural Rehabilitation corpora- nor: aited §=word from tion. Judge A. M. Christianson, president ox the board, held a telephone con- ference with Phillip McGuire, Wash- ington, assistant in charge of rehabi- litation work, on whether $10,000 of rehabilitation monies could be used to handle a “critical situation” in Mc- Kenzie county until the legislature meets, and additional more than a dozen other needy coun- ties where feed for livestock and poul- try is lacking. Might Borrow Money There was a possibility something could be done from this source, but / Welford also considered as an altern- ative borrowing of mnoney from the Bank of Norih Dakota should the contemplated poll by letter of 162 legislators cssure support for a bill to repay thaloan as s00n as the legisla- ture meeis. | The situation was brought to a head hy the visit here of 25 McKenzie coun- ty farmers who presented their “criti- cal situation” in conferences with Howard Wood, Resettlement director; Langer, Welford, and P. O. Sathre, at- torney general. Their trip here financed by Wat- ford City businessmen, the farmers Presented information there was “practically no feed on hand,” that seme stock and poultry already had died, that feed loans were not coming through, and that foundation herds could not exist without feed help this week. Urged Special Session They presented a letter to Welford from Langer urging he immediately call a special session of the legislature for the primary purpose above everye thing else, of having a $1,000,000 emer- gency appropriation passed for the benefit of state welfare board and ccunty welfare boards. “Bupplementary monies from the federal government would result in stvstal ‘niiliofi' dollars being immedi- ately drdlinble to help the poor and suffefing, they asserted. “Word was reteived from Conarees- mati Usher L.

Governor=éfect Langer said that his spectal session proposal was an al- ternative suggestion, and that in view ¢f Burdick’s announcement he felt the situation was met. | Weather Report WEATHER FOREVAST s For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly sloudy, tonight and Wednesday; not £0 cold.

The chief execu- tive sald Baker submitted his resignation prior to the primary election last June, but that at his insistence, the adjutant general postponed the effective date un- til Jan. 1. Baker said he desired to devote his entire time to his own business affairs. CONTINUE \ from page one Baldwin Is Called to Fort Belvedere for Night Meeting jumed by most cbservers that par- jament would be obliged to make jsome provision by special legislation. In the highest quarters Tuesday, it was denied categorically that the statement of Mrs. Simpson's willing- ness to give up the king had been sponsored in London and dictated from here Monday night. Authoritative sources said her voluntary announcement, surprised the king’s own circle of advisers. Both the Star and the Evening News complimented Mrs. Simpson Tuesdya for a contribution to solu- tion of the empire's crisis. Wallis Warfield Simpson's offer to sacrifice thelr romance to save his throne placed the soiution of the Brit- ish empire crisis eolely on the young monarch’s shoulders.

F. Burchard, accountant in his de- partment, and two auditors from the } State examiner's office had been re- fused access to books of the state mill !and elevator although “authorized to make an audit by the state board of | auditors.” Hopton asserted the board of audi- tors, with Secretary of State Gronna State Auditor Baker present, to make an andit of the mill vator from the period of July 1 to Dec. 1, to present to the legislature. He said that J. M. Shirek, auditor for the state board of auditors, would have a report on the state institution only up to July 1 and would be “un- able” to complete the later audit be- fore the legis!ature convenes. Ter Horst Says ‘No’ He stated that Burchard was re- fused access to the books Tuesday by | Stephen Ter Horst, counsel and assiste | ant at the state mill and elevator at ; Grand Forks. Ter Horst, according to Hopton, said he was authorized by Attorney General P. O. Sathre, third ; member of the board of auditors, to | take such action, Attorney General Sathre said he was not present and “knew nothing” about such action by the board of auditors, Gronna and Mrs. Baker were “out of the city.” Sathre said he had informed Ter Horst that only persons having “proper credentials” should be permit- ted access to the books. By “proper credentials,” Sathre said he meant anyone appointed a deputy examiner by State Examiner Adam Lefor would | come under that designation. Lefor Not Informed Examiner Lefor said he had not deputized Burchard and that he was dnaware any men from his office were at the mill and elevator to examine the books. “I don't know anything about it,” Lefor asserted.

Griffith of Grand Forks appzared at the mill Tuesday. He told them he would not open the rec- ords of the mill of them unless they presented proper credentials. He stated he had no objection to their examining the records if they had proper authority, Tor Horst sdid that members of State Auditor J.

The office of Will W. Alexander, acting head of Resettlement, said this plan had been agreed upon with WPA officials. Previously both agencies had said such farmers would be investigated before being placed on direct relief. This brought complaints from farm~- ers and state officials, who said dis- tress was being augmented by winter weather, Direct grants from Resettlement will average about $21 @ month. it was said. Under the WPA relief pro- gram, farmers received about $45. Alexander said the Resettlement administration also would continue its policy of providing feed loans to the drouth stricken farmers to main- tain livestock through the. winter.

In 1935, he said, 18 deaths were recorded in Barnes and Cass counties. This yéar he said, the number dropped to five. Similar improvement was noted in the southewstern: area where the number dropped from 18 to four, he said After pointing out that 31 per cent Sathre Begins Probe of Charges Filed Against Treasurer E.
