There were 32 deaths by drowning in the District of Columbia during 1932, sccording to a report submitted to the Census Bureau yesterday by the Bureau | of Vital Statistics of the District Health Department. Twenty-nine of these victims of wa- ter accidents were men or boys. A ma- Jority of them, it is said, were unable to swim. Suicidal drownings were not included in the total reported. In 1931 the total was 39, the depart- ment’s records show. A few years #8go the number of persons accidentally drowned in local waters averaged con- siderably higher. New Course Next Week. Authorities attribute the gradual de- crease in fatalities to the annual learn- to-swim drives, as well as improved supervision of public swimming. Because of the large preponderance of deaths among men and boys, The Star and the Y. M. C. A. have joined in an annual campaign to teach per- sons of the masculine sex how to take care of themselves in the water. Sev- eral hundred boys were taught the swimming art during the recent Easter holiday season and next week a free learn-to-swim course for men will be given in the big pool of the Central Y. M. C. A. at 1736 G street. 250 Men Signed for Course. More than 250 men have signed up for the six lessons, according to a pre- liminary tabulation, and dozens of ap- plications were coming in during the day. Registration will continue until the opening of the course Monday morning. Ten classes will be held daily under the instruction of Kenneth Clayton and Dallas Shirley, Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross swimming experts. Four of the classes already have their quota of 30 men. Half-hour instruction periods will evail. Additional classes will be formed if the demend warrants. There are no fees or ohligntim of any kind. To enroll, clip the ipon printed herewith and exchange it at the Y. M. C. A. for a registration card, entitling applicant to six lessons.

WHEAT PROSPECTS CHEER SOUTHWEST Crop Expected to Be Short, but Prices Show Big Gain Over Last Year. By the Assoclated Press. KANSAS CITY, June 3.—The out- look for a small wheat crop is counter- balanced by upward bounding prices as farmers and hired hands make ready for the annual harvest in the South- west. Government estimates of 99,486,000 bushels for the present crop in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas contrasted with a total yield of 179,000,000 bushels in the three States last year. However, prices are around 60 cents a el. last year's crop averaged about 29 cents. N Cutting of 'the wheat already has started in Oklahoma, where economy is dictating the increased use of horses and mules in the place of machine power. Prospects are for a crop of 26,- 000,000 bushels in Oklahoma, whereas last year’s crop totaled 42,000,000 bushels.

ACREAGE IN COTTON 1S CUT 30 PER CENT Bonuses Offered to Farmers Who Reduce Their Crop Production. By the Associated Press. Spokesmen for the American Cotton Co-operative Association and the American Farm Bureau Federation to- day recommended a 30 per cent acreage uction in the current cotton crop and the payment of bonuses to farm- ers who reduce their output. C. O. Moser of New Orleans, secre- tary of the co-operative, said a sub- stantial reduction is essential in order to bring back better times to the cot- ton producer, because of the large sur- plus of American cotton, which he es- tmates as in excess of 12,500,000 bales. He added that payments producers for acreage reduction should be a fundamental in any plan adopted. He was presenting the attitude of the co-cperative at a meeting of producers, processors, co-operatives and cotton deal- ers, called by George N. Peek, admin- istrator of the new farm act. Bonus Is Labor Payment. Moser added that the extension serv- ice of the State and Federal Govern- ments, together with farm organiza- tions, co-operatives and other groups are ready to put any acreage reduc- tion program into effect quickly. He urged early adoption of a cur- tailment plan in order to reduce the cost of leasing or otherwise removing from production portions of areas planted to cotton. Chester Gray, Washington repre-| sentative, explained the attitude of | the Farm Bureau, reading a letter | from Edward A. O'Neal, president of the organization. It recommended that | the present crop be reduced 30 per| cent and that the payments of bonuses for reduction be made directly to| growers on a basis whicl. would fairly compensate them for labor. The labor payment would be for planting the crop and cultivating it| up to the time it would be plowed up. | Abnormal Situation. Pred Brenckman, Washington repre- | sentative of the National Grange, urged | an acreage reduction of at least 20 per | cent and the use of processing taxes to | e funds to pay bonuses to growers | reducing the crop. i Secretary Wallace, in opening the conference, said the recent rise in cot- ton prices in anticipation of probable acreage reduction under the farm act has reduced the capacity of adminis- trators to work out a plan of crop cur- tailment. As the price of cotton has increased, it has reduced the amount which could be raised by processing taxes to finance acreage reduction and also has had the effect of increasing the desire of pro- ducers to continue with their planted; aress. | Peck said “we have an acutely ab-| normal situation to deal with.” C.

By the Associated Press. An exhaustive investigation of the Farm Board and’ its related agencies has brought disclosure that the Farmers National Grain Corporation borrowed millions from the Government at one- eight of 1 per cent, while farmers paid as high as 6 and 7 per cent for the money. ‘This and other facts were contained in a report to the Senate on a long in- quiry made by Controller General Mc- Carl. Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, had the sutdy made and a special investigator now is analyzing McCarl’s findings for the Senate Agri- culture Committee. The Farmers National was organized under auspices of the Farm Board and dealt with the Grain Stabilization Cor- poration, also created by the board for its grain price pegging enterprise, $100,000 for Good Will. McCarl said the Farmers National bought grain-handling facilities from Farmers Union Terminal Elevator Asso- ciation, St. Paul, for a price including $100,000 for “good will.” The president of the St. Paul company was M. W. Thatcher, a director of the Farmers National, who subsequently resigned the directorship and was appointed “Wash- ington representative” of the corpora- tion at $12,000 a year. He still has the lace. s ‘This $100,000 was one item of a $600,000 total shown by the report to l':rve been paid out for “good will” in e purchase of grain terminal proper- ties. McCarl said the Farmers National still owes the Farm Board $15,000,000. The one-eighth interest rate was made possible by the agricultural marketing acts provision that the interest to be charged co-operatives should not exceed the net yield to purchasers of Govern- ment securities. The money, said the report, was lent to regional co-opera- tives, which paid as high as 3 and 4 per cent for it, and in turn made Toans to farmers at prevailing local rates, mtny 6 and 7 per cent. Concerns Mentioned. Another disclosure was that though the management of the Farmers Na- tional and the Grain Stabilization Cor- poration was interlocked and the two shared one office at Chicago, the for- mer charged commission totaling $463,- 464 on future contracts handled for the stabilization unit. McCarl’s report, a voluminous factual statement without critical comment, contained an exhaustive analysis of the board’s activities in attempting to sta- bilize wheat prices on a basis of $1.25 a b;x'.:hel for No. 1 Northern at Minneap- olis. ‘This attempt was made beginning in 1929 after Alexander Legge, then chalr- man of the board, said stabilization would provide “more orderly market- ing” and counteract the price-depress- on the subject “What Is Happening to ' ing influences of the market-ward rush Business Today Under the New Deal.” of grain that Fall APT.

AF.LWILINSST ON BARGAIN CLAUSE Green Warns of Fight on Recovery Bill if Feature Is Eliminated. By the Associated Press. A warning that labor would urge rejection by Congress of the national industrial recovery act should it be revised to deny labor the right to or- ganize and bargain collectively, was issued today by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor. ‘The statement was made public as several hundred members of the Ni tional Association of Manufacturers convened at the Mayflower Hotel to in- sist upon changes in the measure passed by the House, including the labor provisions. o Inconsistence Charged. “The opposition of the Manufacturers Association to the labor sections of the industrial recovery act places it in a most selfish as well as a most incon: sistent position,” Green said. “They are consistent only in their traditional op- position to the exercise of the right of the workers to organize into bona fide trade unions.

Position Indefensible. “Such a position is indefensible. It is inconceivable that Congress would grant to employers the right to fix prices, through a closed organization of employers, and deny their workers the right to organize and be repre- sented by representatives of their own choosing.” Green said labor would “appeal to its friends in Congress to vote against the bill if the labor sections, as adopted by the House of Representatives, are eliminated or modified.” The manufacturess contend the labor section of the legislation as now drafted would upset the relations between em- ployers and employes and open the way for “racketeers” to seek organization of labor throughout the Nation. ROOSEVELT PLAN T0 SAVE BILLION Sees Economy in Dismissals, Reduced Salaries and Activity Eliminations. (From the 5:30 Edition of Yesterday's Star.) President Roosevelt expects to save a billion dollars in governmental expenses next year despite the fact he is not going ahead immediately with his full governmental reorganization program. In the President’s opinion, the sav- ing in actyal maney through reorgani- zation is comparatively small. The saving will come from dismissals, re- duced salaries and complete elimination of certain activities. In his opinion, reorganization is primarily to premote! efficiency and better business in govern- ment. ‘The President, in discussing this sub- ject today, said he feared there was some misunderstanding as & result of his announcement early in the week that he did not intend to go ahead at this time with his full reorganization program. He has received indications that people have the opinion that by postponing his general reorganization plan in its entirety he is abandoning his to bring about a 25 per cent reduction in governmental ex- penses. This interpretation, the President said, is entirely erroneous. He said also that it must not be assumed that money is to be saved through reorganization. As a matter of fact, the importance of re- organization in its relationship to actual money-saving has been grossly exagger- ated, he believes. ly a number of changes have been made by what is described as in- tra-departmental orders. He said these orders will be going along virtually every day. Moreover, he expects to send to Congress probably a dozen ex- ecutive orders early next week, which will effect changes in several of the departments’ set-up. By way of explanation of his con- tention that reorganization has little to do with actual money saving, the President pointed out that the Depart- ment of Commerce’s appropriation for the present fiscal year was $41,000,000 amd that this department is now ef- fecting a saving of $12,000,000 for the next year, but that reprganization has had nothing to do with this large re- ductions in expenses. The saving was accomplished by lopping off activities and-economy. He pointed out that probably a mililon and a half dollars more could be saved by the reorgani- zation plans for that department. The President s¢id he also is cutting ‘| down the number of commercial at- taches of the Department of Commerce from a total of 250 to about 50 and that he will effect some little saving there. He added that his reorganiza- tion plan will call for transfer of the attaches from the Commerce Depart- ment to the State Department, but that the transfer itself, which is a part of the reorganization plan, will mean nothing so far as saving is concerned, but will mean much for efficiency. The President roughly figures his estimated $1,000,000,000 saving by cut- ting about $400,000,000 in veterans' al- lowances, about $400,000,000 in depart- mental activities and about $125,000 in salary reductions. — J.

His holiness described the new law as one “which constitutes a new and more serious attack not merely on re- ligion and the church, but also on those accepted principles of civic freedom on which the new Spanish regime pretends to be based.” The encyclical, addressed to all bishops in the world, said the Pope does not take this action to thwart political reforms, “because the church accom- modates herself to all forms of govern- ment and civil institutiors provided the rights of God and Christian conscience are left intact.” ° He imputed antagonism against the ciurch to “a hatred which secret or- ganizations that seek the destruction of ail religious and social ordér enter- tain against the Lord.” The Pope made eight charges against the republic. One was the separation of the church and the state, which was descrided as- being & “most grievous error.” “Two, the Catholic religion has an odious watch set over its teachings in schools; the exercise of worship, relig- ious processions, the administration of sacraments for the dying, and services for the dead were hampered, ‘Three, the church was stripped of all property and forced to pay a tax.
