FARM RELIEF DEAD, WITERDECLAES Industrial Communities in Too | Great Need of Help to Aid Wheat Belt. ¥ BY MARK SULLIVAN, ‘The decision of the Federal Farm Board to lhm buying wheat in order e price is absolute and That fact raises a political probiem about which opinion is just forming. The decision to stop buying wheat is final for two reasons. One is that the Farm Board is convinced the prac- tice should not be continued. The other is that the coming Congress and no Congress in the near future will appropriate money for this purpose. Son Refuses to Quit Prison and Mother DrinksPoison Dose Man Demands Full Par- don on Charge He Killed Sweetheart. By the Assoclated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohlo, April 2. —Disap- inted because her eldest son, ?2, declined to leave Manafield Reforma- tory when his parole on & manslaughter sentence became effective today, M Anna Belanescu, 46, drank poison to- night and was reported in “very serious’ condition. Officers were told by her two other children that she threatened to end her | life if “Ermil didn’t get a pardon.” Ermil was sentenced three years ago to 1 to 20 years for the killing of his sweetheart, Dorothy Kirk, 21. He main- tains she end>d her own life. The State | charged he induced her to swallow a In |iove potion,” which resulted in her the House more Representatives come | s from Eastern and other wheat-eating city constituencles than from wheat- producing agricultural ones. Conditions Reversed. Eastern Congressmen were two years m to vote money that would keep price of wheat high, though with some reluctance, because at that time farmers were in distress while BEastern cities and industricl communities were riding high in pre:- perity. They did it in the spirit of glft to a conspicuously depresséd f dustry. Now, however, the cities znd industrial districts are in distress. They are acutely interésted i hdving fdod cheap. Eastern and city Congress- men, without regard to party, will now resist any form of farm relief tending to make food dearer. This condition applies with almost equal strength to the two newly re- vived proposals for farm relief. One is the debenture plan. The other is the equalization fee. The purpose of both, speaking broadly, is to keep the price ‘wheat high in America while selling it at a low price abroad. Both these plans are now brought forward by poli- ticlans l&pullng to farm ‘constituen- cles. Both have been enacted by Con-. in the past, but have been killed ;fi“u:':;x “w?éonzr pecial- ess Of ess, es] - ly the House, to pass these measures & few years was due to the same- spirit of easy-going generosity in time of rity. Today it is most un- likely t either the debenture plan or the equalization fee get a :n}onty in the House of Representa- ves. Some Democratic leaders might be willing to advocate the debenture plan or the stabilization fee, or both, as a means of putting upon the Republican President the odium of vetoing them. It is decidedly doubtful, however, if Democrats or any members represent- ing FEastern and city constituencies would now vote for either of these plans in sufficlent numbers to provide a majority. For yet another reason neither the uilization fee ment has recently done about the dumping of European matches on our markets. Against this practice our Government has, within two weeks, is- sued an anti-dumping order. Half-Hearted Revival. Most politicians are well aware of the new conditions that make the de; certainly im) eqn tion fee probably so. val of the two ideas is noti the local sentiment of their farming constituencies. It is certain, however, they will never be put into effect. ‘The one form of farm relief left ‘which is now being operated and which is having some success is the encour- agement and organization by the Fed- eral Parm Board of co-operative mar- keting. This constitutes the major part of the Farm Board's functioning, and it will go on. Its importance has only been obscured by the board's more spec- tacular effort to sustain the price of ‘wheat by direct purchases.

CONGRESS ATTACK 1S LAID TO HOOVER McKellar Says President’s + Federal Tax Statement Is Not Justified. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 2.—Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tennessee, yester- day called President Hoover’s statement that there will be no Federal tax in- crease if Congress adheres to adminis- tration policies “an unwarranted attack upon Congress.” In a statement issued here, the Senator said: “In view of Mr. Hoover's recommen- dations as to expenditures for the pres- ent year in the last Congress, and in view of the action of Congress thereon, | it is absolutely amazing that even Mr. Hoover would be inept enough, unmind- ful of the proprieties enough, so unfa- | miliar with the facts, as to father an | “The facts are,” , “that at the last session Congress ac- tually appropriated for the present year $27,785,701.07 less than the President and his so-called budget system actually recommended the Congress to appro- | ate. ‘The President denounces the Con- | | Low Round Trip Rates ToBaltimore Special $1.25 Week.End Every .
