NYE, BURDICK AND LEMKE FAVOR PLAN Abolition of Comptroller Gen- eral’s Office, However, Is Criticized Washington, Jan. 13.—(?)—Minne- sota and North Dakota congressional delegations greeted President Roose- velt’s pre reorganization of gov- ernment departments with general favor.

Senator Gerald Nye, North Dakota Republican, approved the plan gen- erally, adding that he hoped “a sub- stantial part of the plan would fin? its way into law this year.” Reps. Usher Burdick, Bismarck, and William Lemke, Fargo, both Re~ publicans, favored reorganization, Lemke adding, however, “as far as it goes.” “It should go three times further,” Lemke added, “and the office of comptroller general should not be eliminated.” To Speed Production Of Northwest Flax ‘Minneapolis, Jan, 13.—(?)—Produc- tion of more and better flax in the northwest will be encouraged, accord- ing to’plans outlined Tuesday at a meeting of the Flax Institute of the ‘United States.

D., Jan. 13.—(P)— Urging need for continued coopesra- tion between the state highway de- partment and the public, W. J. Flan- nigan, state roads chief, told North Dakota county commissioners, here Wednesday, the department has been “slipping” in its service to the people because of insufficient funds to carry on the highway program. “The department has as resources no more money today for a 6,700-mile system than in 1933 for a 4,100-mile system,” Flannigan declared, asserting the highway department has been “gradually slipping back in its service to the people until it has become bankrupt.” “Regraveling of the system has been so neglected in the past five years that over 1,800 miles of highway in the system were rejected as not conforming to the bureau of public roads standards,” Flannigan told com~ missioners, adding 1,500 miles were due to lack of sufficient gravel base and 300 miles for other reasons, More Face Rejection In addition, records show there are 600 more miles or highways with an | Heimes, inch or less of gravel base, which, he said, without a regravel course in the coming season, will be rejected by the bureau in 1937, and may make about 37 per cent of the system rejected as below standards, “In North Dakota we have a mile of state highway for every 21 cars, or for every 89 people,” the commission- er declared, asserting it was three times as much as average mileage for other states in the union, “We are paying approximately $22.87 for taxes of all kinds in North Dakota, the lowest of any state in the union,” he said, citing the aver- age for the nation as $40.54.

This survey of one county was pre- sented the legislature “by way of emphasizing the serious agricultural problems arising from water short- age,” M. O. Ryan, executive director of the state board said. Although Pembina county received more precipitation during 1936 than any other North Dakota county, this survey reveals almost half of the farms in the county report inade- quate water supplies for farm live- stock needs, he declared. “Well measurements also indicated that ground water levels in the coun- ty have dropped from 11.9 feet to 17.7 feet during the past 10 years,” Ryan asserted. A study of the average period dur- ing which this present farm domestic water shortage has existed, he said, shows 4.81 years, during which the current deficiency has obtained. “Another startling fact,” Ryan re- ported, “is that farmers of Pembina county are today hauling water for domestic use, transporting it an aver- age of 4.02 miles while for livestock use, water is being transported more: than two miles.” In present surveys being unders taken in other counties, the plan- ning board contended, “even more. incredible figures” are being de- veloped to show the seriousness of the agricultural problem where ground and surface waters are con- cerned, No respecter of womei raining on Madrid in §; wounded In a raid by Fascist p! children are the air bombs whic! bloody civil wi 8 on Tetuan, working class suburb of This baby wi Madrid, In which 12 persons were killed and more than 30 wounded.
