Planned to Aid War Against Soviet Hoover and Legge Were Leaders in Movement, Correspondent Asserts, By the Associated Press MCSCOW, April 3.—Pravda organ of the Communist party, today featured on its front page a story from a special correspondent in New York purporting to relate details of an allged plan in the United States in 1930 to assist in an- intervention movement against the Soviet Unon. The correspondent claimed to have information that President Hoover and Alexander Legee, then chairman of the Federal Farm Board, were leaders of the group. The account said the American group did not plan military e, but had agreed to provide sufic ent suppiies, perticularly grain, for a French army to_conquer the bolchevists The correspondent said tne plan had been abandoned because the recent trial of eight engineers in Moscow had re- vealed some of its details. Will Rogers Says: official MANAGUA, Nicaragua. — Well, here we are at Managua, Nicaragua. They tell you pictures don't M2, but the ones you saw of this easth- quake dld‘ecr they didn't™tell that here, eight days after it happened, that there 1is from 100 to 300 bodiss still under those ruins. Sitting here in a Marine tent writing this, and am going to _ sleep here. The doctor is coming around to shoot me for typhoid, and then I am going to learn to cuss and will be a real Marine. Naturally, what they money. The government or the people haven't got a cent. The Red Cross, combined with the relief organization, here has done great work as usual, and still is. They are feeding about 8,000 now. We have a great Minister of American Affairs here, Mr. Hanna— no rich guy just appointed for the lark, but a man who has given 25 years' service to us. Lost every- thing they had but the clothes on their back, he and the President and the Red Cross. If through the Red Cross and public donations from up home they could get $250,000, it would relieve the situation as to food and get some roofs to cover these people. Now what they are afraid of is the rainy season, which starts in just a few weeks Lord, help you, if you have no _cover when it starts. Goodness knows you generous folks have been asked till you are ragged, but, honest, if you saw it you would dig again. I have finally found somebody poorer than a Southern cotton’ renter farmer. Our Government can't make the loan for food. At least it wouldn't for our own, so it just falls where everything eise does, on the gener- ous and goodness of the American peoplé. If you saw, as I did this morning, 2,500 mothers with babes in taelr arms go by and get their ration of milk yeu would say there was some poor devil that needed it worse than you do. We promised to get the Marines out of here by June the first, and if we could get this sum and get things straightened out we can keep our promise, but we can’t leave 'em in this shape now. Whether you believe the Marines should be here or not, they have been a Godsend during the last week. They have done some heroic work but, person- ally, I don't think its worth leaving ’em down here just for the sake of another ecarthquake. We may dig a canal here some day, but don't have to guard the place we are going to dig it. Nobody is going to sneak in and dig it while we are away. Send your donations to Managua, Nicaragua, to American Red Cross in care of American Minister Hanna. It's worth all that just to get our boys baek home.

By the Associated Press. The Federal Oil Conservation Board today gave its general approval to the plan for adjusting domestic oil produc- tion presented by the Oil State Ad- visory Commit.ee. After a brief discussion following presentation of the program, Secretary Wilbur announced the board’s ap- proval. “All' T want to say.” he said, “is that we ask you gentlemen to meet this sit- uaticn by doing what you can har- moniotsly, spending as little time as possible in reviewing past history and particularly by not p'aying pol e The me:ting was then adjourned. Offers Co-operation. Earlier, Wirt Franklin, president of the Independent Petroleum’ Association, told the board his group offered full co- | operation in achieving the aims of the Oil States Committee and Robert R. | Penti of Texas had stressed the tre- mendous_effect on other industries by the oil depression. | " “The complete failure of the ofl in- dustry such we are now faced with | could” do more to increase the general depression of the country than any other cause,” Penn said Ruin of the ofl industry, he added, would make the present general situa- tion five times worse. | " “We are not attempting to have the oil industry prosper at the expense of | any other’ section of the country or | industry, but we realize that prosperity | in our ‘industry is essential to that of | countless other lines of industry,” he | said. A still greater social interest lay, how- | ever, he said, in preservaticn for the | future of petroleum reserves and com- ' petitive conditions. Challenge From “Red Russia.” “The Nation is faced,” Penn said, “with a definite challenge from Red | Russia. It is inconceivable to expect | the United States to sit idly by and Jet its industry go to ruin, thus enhancing the spread of undemocratic principles | such as those of Russia | “We feel the ti will come when | other industries too will seek Federal assistance to level out peaks and valleys and provide the Nation with an even eel.” | Wilbur asked Murray if there was a legislation.” “Do you propose to get more or less control of the situation and then ask Congress for aid?” the secretary in- quired “Yes, if necessary at a later date, Murray renlied. g James A. Veasey, chairman of a mineral section sub-committee of the American Bar Association, said the Nation was faced either with adoption |of some plan as the one presented or “return to the law of the jungle” with only 20 or 30 companies surviving. He said the interstate compact idea was feasible and pointed out the States did not want the Federal Government too much in the foreground. He tendered the services of his group to take care of the difficult legal aspects of the work. |MISSISSIPPI PLANTERS FIGHT PLAGUE OF GNATS |Coahoma County Reports 150 Mules and Few Horses Dead.

Lucas did not discuss recent state- ments that Horace Mann, a Southern R-publican, plans to establish an organ- |1zation to oppose the renomination of President Hoover, Nor did he mention the just-ended trip of Postmaster Gen- eral’ Brown through the South, or Brown's prdiction that Mr. Hoover will be renominated by acclamation.

Judge Marvin Underwood upheld the | Government’s objection, and Large was excused from the stand without speak- ing & word. e first three witnesses presented the greater part of the Government's case. J. P. Benson testified that early in 11929 he paid Dove $500 to bring about appointment of his son, Ernest, as postmaster at College Park, Ga. Charles O'Neal said Dove promised to effect the appointment of his son, Wade, as deputy clerk of the Northern Georgia District Court on payment of $276. Says He Paid $1,000. C. E. Westbrook told of payimg Dove $1,000 for appointment as collector of internal revenue here. Several other State witnesses told of smaller payments to Dove on similar promises. All pictured him as claiming great influence and personal friendship with such Government and party lead- ers as President Hoover, Postmaster General Walter F. Brown, Walter New- {ton, one of the President’s secretaries; . Hubert Work, former national party chief; former Gen- eral Harry New, and J. R. Nutt, na- tional treasurer.
