A2 ke FARM GUARANTEE VOTE SCHEDULED House Will Decide Monday on _Final :Amendment, ‘‘Rainey. Decares. ‘% Ralney today set. Monday for the House vote on the lone amendment holding up final action” on the farm réligf-trflation ° bill—tle Notrid-Simp- ®on cost-of-production proposal. . Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was Tepresented by Speaker Ralney as re- garding the amendment as *“unwork- able.” . B} “Secretary Wallace told me that the so-called Simpson amendment would muss things up so that he was afrald of it,” Rainey told newspapermen. The House and Seca:z: conferees were in disagreement ower the amend: ment after an all-day doriference ye: terday, but agreed on all other amend- ments. ‘The amendment is designed to assure the farmer a reasonable profit above the cost of production. Interest Scale Retained, If the House is willing to accept the amendment, final congressional action will be a mere formality. If it decides to support Wallace, another vote on the amendment will be necessary when the Senate resumes work Monday with a prospect of further delay if the Sen- ate insists on the amendment’s reten- ton, A House provision that farmers ob- taining mortgage refinancing loans shall y 4% per cent interest when the oans are made through co-operative loan associations dnd 5 per cent if ob- tained directly ffom Land Banks was retained during the conference. The Senate had votsd that the lower rate prevail in both cases. The limit om salaries for adminis- trators of botht the farm relief and mortgage refinancing sections was Taised to $10,000, as approved by the House, from the maximum of $8,500 set by the Senate. The _cost-of-production amendment, the only snag in the way of complete agreement, was championed in the Senate by Norris, Republican, of Ne- braska, although s provision would be :gdonal. ‘Wallace is strongly opposed t. it. The conferees eliminated sugar beets, sugar cane, cattle and sheep from the list of basic commodities. On the sidelines were two men watching this little drama of conflict— John A. Simpson, the veteran president of the Farmers' Union and legislative representative of the Farmers Holiday Association, which today at Des Moines woted to call a farm strike for May 23, and Frederic P. Lee, Wallace's spokesman to the conferees. Lee, who drew the administration farm relief program under the direction of the President and Wallace, urged the zmendment’s quick removal. Expects Cross-Fires. The Wallace opposition is based on %he belief that with alternative plans for setting the price “goals” of the bill, endless conflict between farmers fwill arise and the administrators of #he bill will be caught in the cross- Hfires. § The Simpson amendment proposes hat Wallace be empowered to proclaim minimum prices at which farm com- gmodities shall sell—these prices to be ‘equal to the cost of production plus a Feasonable profit to the farmer. Cal- culation of the production cost would involve such factors as prices farmers ®pay for consumption goods, wage levels ©of farm labor, capitalization of the farm plant and other factors. Simpson con- tends that by exercising this power, fix- ing farm prices well above present levels, thehr‘nrm problem would disappear over- night. Wallace favors the parity price as the goal of' the relief administration. This price would represent a return to re-war, 1909-1914, levels, to return the armer the purchasing power he had at that time in relation to the price he pays for goods. On April 15 the prices farmers pay equaled exactly the pre- war level, but as this level rises, the “goal” price would increase, with the idea of closing the gap between levels of farm costs and farm prices. Relief Hopes Rise. Meanwhile, prospects increased today | for a two-year holiday on mon¥m| foreclosures for those farmers with land loans from joint stock land banks. It was learned that most of the 46 Joint stock banks now in operation have decided to avail themselves of the $100,000,000 fund to be set up un- der a special mortgage relief provision of the administration farm bill. ‘To obtain the loans, on a 4 per cent Anterest rate, the banks will be required 10 agree to reduce their interest rates to farmers to 5 per cent within 60 days after the bill's final approval. This came nearer yesterday when Senate and ‘House conferees reached an agreement on the mortgage relief portion of the farm bill. In addition the banks must agree to suspend foreclosure proceedings for two years on loans in default except where the land serving as security has been abandoned or special authorization is provided by Government credit officials. These , Which began the lcan operations in '1918, have more than $400,000,000 in outstanding farm loans, or about 6 per cent of the Natioa's farm mortgage debt. This figure is ex- clusive of about $53,000,000 in out-: standing loans of three banks which are in receivership. The average inter- est tnme to farmers has been 59 per cent. Henry Morgenthau, jr., Farm Board chairman and governor-designate of the farm credit administration, said the farm bill contemplates eventual liquidation of the banks which have been the center of controversy. Oppo- nents of the system accused the banks of rushing foreclosures in -order to obe tain cash to retire their: bonds. The liquidation process will require ma years, as the bank loans have been made on & 33-year basis. . o RADIO BAN LIFTED | Dy | duced -employment loymen FOR SERVICE BANDS Swanson Signs Order Allowing Navy and Msrine Musicians to Resume Broadcasts.

JOWA TROOPS DEFY THREAT IN ARRESTS Seize Two More Farmers Despite Warning of County Attorney. By the Assoclated Press. LE MARS, Iowa, May 5.—The militia has struck again in its effort to bring punishment to Iowa's rioting farmers. Defying a threat from County At- torney James Smith to arrest Guards- men if they entered his county to make arrests, the militia men pushed into Cherokee yesterday and epprehended two more suspects—Walter Dunn and Emil Klabe. They are suspected of a part in the recent assault on District Judge C. C. Bradley. After the invasion, County Attorney Smith gave h:he mflmnd . lash- , predicting a grand jury investiga- g‘ofix 1‘; the prisoners were “taken against their will.” The arrests were made on orders of Col. Glenn C. Haynes, officer. of the Guardsmen. Smiles at Threat. “You may say that I smiled when informed of Smith’s statement,” he de- clared, adding that at least one more arrest would be made in Cherokee County. / The arrests brought the total number of prisoners in the two districts under martial law to 148, 86 held here and 62 at Denison. The military courts continued their investigation of the mauling- of the judge and the foreclosuré sale riot at Denison, questioning _prisoners and gathering evidence to be used in civil trials later. M Judge Bradley told the story of “the mauling he gat at the hands of a crowd of farmers a week 8go, but the details of thde Jjurist's testimony were not re- vealed.

The situation Continuation of the National Sym- phony Orchestra for another season seemed virtually assured today with revelation that only $5,000 remains to be raised as a guarantee.

Parker, 2001 Twenty-fourth street, who is vice chairman of the Women's Committee. During the last week, it was report- ed, the Soliciting Committees had av- eraged better than $1,000 a day in new subscriptions, and because of this fact, a more hopeful view of the orchestra's future was ‘expressed last night at a meeting of the board of governors, headed by Leland Harrison. It was decided the fund-raising cam- paign would continue for another two weeks, with members of the Women's Committee determined to collect the necessary $5,000. Especially will the so- licitors concentrate on small contribu- tions, of which Mrs. Parker said: “They are most encouraging and most welcome. This year's campaign shown that although conditions are more acute, and some supporters of the orchestra who last year gave large amounts were able this year to give only a fraction of their previous sub- scription, the total number of persons subscribing to the orchestra has greatly increased.” SWANSON SUPPORTS NAVAL PACT RATIOS Believes 5—5—3 Basis for U. 8, Britain and Japan Is Fair .Despite Tokio Reports.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 5.—The Na- tional Executive Committee of the American Legion today voted to add $10,000 to the budget of the Rehabili- tation Committee to aid veterans in presenting their claims against the Government. Watson B. Miller, chairman of the committee, read telegrams which pur- ported to show that as much as 50 cent of the service connected dlnb\gg cases are being removed from the com- pensation rolls. “The reduced amounts to be paid are bad enough” he said, “but the most pitiful result will lie in the breaking of service connection in 5o many thou- sands of cases which have relief upon the statutory presumption.
