[} DCHINSON'S BIL FAGES HARD CONG Grange Not in Complete Ac- cord With Measure—Demo- crats May Fight. | | By the Associated Press. Indications have been more definite- | 1y apparent that the Dickinson bill to deal with the farm surplus problem will, in its present form, encounter rough going in the House agriculture | committee. It was disciosed that the executive committee of the Natlonal Grange was not in complete accord on the | measure. and Representative Oldfleld | of Arkansas, the Democratic whip and chairman of his party’'s congressional campaign committee, introduced a bill for farm relief somewhat stmilar to one recently presented in the Senate by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic floor leader. The bills sponsored by two Democrats differ from the Dickinson measure as to-the method of disposing of the farm prod- uets surplus. Haugen Has Been Busy. Meanwhile Representative Haugen of lowa, chairman of the House agri- culture committee, has been busily en caged at his office in recent weeks, and his friends expect him to present a bill of his own as a substitute for the Dickinson measure. The Grange's executive committes is in agreement on the provision of the Dickinson bill for a Federal Farm Board, but the members are not unan- imous in their views regarding other proposals of the measure. The com- mittee, which is in conference here, called during the day on Secretary Jardine at his invitation, and later conferred with T. M. Cooper, chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, but refused to disclose the subjects discussed. The principal difference of opinion among members of the Grange com- mittee regarding the Dickinson bill lles in its equallzation fee provisions, designed to reimburse producers sell- ing surplus products abroad for the difference between foreign and do- | mestic prices. Introduction of the Oldfield meas- ure was taken to mean that Demo- crats on the agriculture committee would be inclined to support this bill rather than the Dickinson proposal, or at least insist upon a compromise measure. Payment of Bounties. The Robinson bill was based,on the | lief. It would provide for the creation of a farmers’ export corporation and authorize an advance of $200,000,000 to that corporation by the Govern- ment. This loan would be safeguard- ed by sound commercial security and the corporation would help finance foreign purchasers of American prod- ucts. Mr. Oldfield explained that his bill also incorporated some provisions of one sponsored by Representative Jones, Democrat, Texas, which would so-called Vrooman plan for farm re- | | stetn, call for the payment of bounties to farmers’ co-operative associations out lof customs reselots on lmpest dutles “ARMED TO THE TEETH," THESE M} from the Municipal Building to Duchess Lanza di Camastra at left, Duchesse de Rohan N NIECES.

The tour of the city took the in- vestigators out to the embassy sec- tion on Sixteenth street. At the pink palace of the Spanish embassy they paused and found that in the street close to the thin stream of traffic the sound record was from 20 to 40 units.

FLETTNER ROTORSHIP COMPANY IS BANKRUPT Commercial Craft Scrapped After Failure to Sell I%—Small Boat Idle in Lake. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Dails BERLIN, February 20.—Whatever aclentific interest there is in the Flett- ner rotorship, its commercial career has come to an abrupt end with the announcement of the bankruptey of the company which built it. Flettner, with a somewhat question- able zeal from a scientific viewpoint, hastened to commercialize his scheme. His chief construction, the Buckau, since he has been unable to find any one who was willing to intrust freight to it or purchase it, has been disman- tled. 2 Today the world's only rotorship is a small boat with a single revolving cylinder, which lies disused on Wahn- see Lake, near Berlin. It is said that Flettner now is seeking an idea to finance a scheme to erect rotor cyl- inders for power on land, but it is interesting to note that several au- thorities have declared the scheme ‘worthless.
