A—4 *% HAMILTON T0 HELP B.0.P.SET-UPHERE Kansas Committeeman to Come to Capital to Push Campaign. (Continued From First Page.) National Committeeman from Iowa, chairman of the Committee on Ar- rangements for the conference, to complete the preliminaries. When that work is done and he has closed some law cases in which he is engaged Hamilton will come to Washington, it was said today. There is still considerable mystery as to when and where the Midwest conference is to be held. Originally it was proposed for Kansas City in May. It may still be held there. But the suggestion has been made in some quarters that perhaps it might be as well not to have the conference so near the home of Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas, who has been mentioned as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President. This seems an entirely inadequate reason for not holding the conference in Kansas City. If it went to Chi- cago there would be Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, whose friends are putting him for- ward. Should the conference by any | chance be held in Detroit or near that city, then there would be objec- tions about the fact that Senator Vandenberg is from Michigan and his | name has been more prominently | mentioned than any other for the presidential nomination of the G.O.P. | Candidacies Are Shunned. ‘The promoters of the Midwest re- gional conference and of conferences in other sections of the country hold up their hands in horror at the sug- gestion that presidential candidacies might be mentioned or that one of these conferences might give publicity to one of the presidential “possibili- ties.” It is entirely unlikely that any one of the potential candidates will be brought forward publicly at one of these regional conferences. But it 1s idle to believe that candidacles will not be discussed by the delegates to | the conferences when they are heid. To hear some of them talk today, the next Republican National Conven- tion should be composed of unin- structed and unpledged delegates. That, however, would put the bosses in a position to name any one they desired. Early in 1936, the first of the presi- dential preferential primaries will be. held. Candidates for the nomination will go into these primaries, and a considerable number of delegates will be elected to the Republican National Convention pledged to one or the other of the candidates. The stronger the candidate can be built up in the meantime, the better it will be for the party when it goes into the na- tional campaign a year from next Fall. Roosevelt Nomination Sure. It seems quite clear that the man the Republicans select will be op- posed by President Roosevelt on the Democratic ticket. And it is just as clear that the issues in the campaign will be the Roosevelt administration and all its implications. The announcement by Chairman TFletcher of the determination to add Mr. Hamilton to the headquarters staff is believed to be just a fore- Tunner of other moves to rebuild the working organization of the party. It was skeletonized after the Con- gressional elections last Fall. The Republicans have been engaged in paying off their debt, wiping out the deficit, which they have done very successfully. considering all things. They are now making plans to go ahead with more vigor in their op- rosition to the administration and in the development of their organiza- tion in all paris of the country. Mr. Hamilton is identified closely with the young Republican movement &nd, of course. with the Republican- canism of the Middlewest. The party looks upon the winning of the West as a sine qua non to success next year. HINT OF SECESSION RAISED IN GEORGIA Commissioner of Agriculture| Suggests “Way Out” of Row With Washington. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, April 25.—Secession of Georgia from the Union as a way possibly to settle difficulties between this State and the Washington ad- ministration was suggested today by Tom Linder, commissioner of agricul- ture. This hint was published in an article signed by Linder and carried in the Market Bulletin, official organ of the State Department of Agriculture, which goes to thousands of Georgia farmers. Charges that the President is fol- lowing the Socialist and Republican platforms rather than Democratic policies were matched by a pointed attack on Secretary Wallace. He charged that the processing taxes on farm products were con- ceived by the Republicans and that curtailment of farm production was similar to the Russian system.

COTTON MEN HEAR WALLACE SCORED! Resignation Is Demanded by Head of Southern Group in Talk.

INCREASED SILVE MINING EXPECTED Some Operators, However, Want Assurance Price Will Be Maintained. By the Associated Pres g SBAN FRANCISCO, April 25—In- creased silver production was pre- dicted today by many Western silver men as a direct result of President Roosevelt’s boost in the Treasury price for newly-mined domestic ore. Other mining men felt, however, that still higher prices or at least as- surance that the new price of 77.57 cents an ounce would not collapse. were necessary for & boom in mining operations. On the basis of the 1933 production of 33,000,000 ounces, the increase of more than 6 cents would bring an ad- ditional $1,980,000 to producers. $1.29 Price Expected. Some Utah mining circles consid- ered the new price as additional proof the Government plans to carry out provisions of the silver purchase act of 1934, which ultimately will bring the price to the statutory $1.29 an ounce. “It looks like the price will continue upward to $1.29,” said A. G. McKen- zle, secretary of the Utah American Mining Congress chapter in Salt Lake City. “Very likely mines which pro- duce & large proportion of silver can increase production, but the larger companies which produce considerable lead and zinc cannot increase pro- duction without further demoralizing the already low price level of these metals.’ Conservative mine operators in the Rocky Mountain district were hesi- tsnt about predicting any immediate excitement. Colorado Official Optimistic. More optimistic than most opera- tors, John T. Joyce, Colorado mine commissioner, said, “Colorado always was prosperous when sliver got be- tween 75 cents and one dollar.” Montana silver interests found the higher price highly welcome, but re- fused to become excited until they are given some assurance that the price will be maintained. Louis Shattuck Cates, president of the Phelps Dodge Corp., large Arizona mining concern, predicted “somewhat greater activity” in Arizona mining camps. Doubt that the new price would safe for America had been planned today by Undersecretary of Agricul- ture Tugwell as his billion-dollar part in the expenditure of the adminis- tration’s four-billion-dollar sesame to recovery. Tugwell is awaiting signal from the President to open his spending cam- paign on fighting dust storms and curbing costly soil erosion, rehabili- tating economically desperate farm families, lengthening the extent of rural electrification and draining and irrigating millions of acres of now useless land. Possihility that some projects in the Tugwell program may go beyond the intent of the work-relief act is a bogey-man the administrators of the law expect to disregard until such time as a definite order against them might come from the office of Con- treller General McCarl, Moving Families Criticized, In danger of such ruling is the plan to move as many as possible of the 40.000 families now iliving on submarginal land to new farms in Critics have the cotton textile industry. more productive areas.

NEW YORK, April 25.—Secretary of Agriculture Wallace said last night industry was challenged by agricul- ture to do away with the high tariff and expressed belief that a bargain could be made in return for aboli- tion of the procesing tax. Speaking before the Brown Univer- sity Alumni, Wallace defended the position taken by the Government in relation to agriculture and asserted Army Men Attached to Other Nation’s Units for Six Weeks. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, April 25.—Just at a time when all Europe is jittery over the German arms program, Great Britain and Germemy have revived their pre- war custom of the exchange of army officers. Three officers of each country, rep- resenting the infantry, cavalry and artillery branches, will be attached to corresponding units in the other na- tion’s army for six weeks' courses, effective immediately. These temporary assignments, which were revealed today, are expected to be followed by more. Two British officers already are in Germany and the first German officer, a Lieut. von Wick, has arrived at Aldershot, the troop center in England. Preference is being given by both nations to officers who speak the language of the other country. He said the Soclalist and Repub- lican parties advocated race equality, the need had arisen for a new na- tional unity and the generation of forces leading to a greater share in 1esponsibility. . NEW MEXICAN RELIEF HELD CLEARED IN QuIZ Santa Fe Paper Says Winter In- quiry Into Previous Set-Up Showed No Fraud. By the Associated Press. SANTA FE, N. Mex., April 25.—The New Mexican said yesterday inquiries into the operation of the Emergency Relief Administration in this State prior to a Midwinter reorganization had failed to reveal anything that “points to graft, crookedness or in- tent to defraud.” ‘The newspaper said efforts of Gov. Clyde Tingley, in conjunction with Dudley Frank, acting New Mexico re- lief administrator, and other repre- | sentatives of the F. E. R. A. “to bolster up” insinuation against the previous relief activities had “failed utterly.” Prior to the Midwinter reorgani- that theé Democratic party was “supe posed to be the white man's party,” but it had “wandered” away. gation the relief work was headed by work relief. The first item on Tugwell's pro- gram is $350,000,000 for soil erosion prevention, forestation, reforestation and flood control, all of which go hand in hand in the battle to prevent the lamation and flood control projects, on which Tugwell is expected to work | | with the War, Treasury and Interior | Departments. Big Area Needs Draining. Tugwell has a survey showing that 91,000,000 acres need draining in States along the Atlantic seaboard southward from Maryland, the Gulf coastal States and in Arkansas, Miss- ouri, Minnesota, Michigan and Wis- consin. He hopes to make a start tcward reclaiming 12.000.000 of these water-soaked acres with State co- operation as part of the tremendous water program the work rellef set-up expects to develop. On the other side of the picture is irrigation, through which 30,000,000 acres of useless soil could be recap- tured for crops, forests and grazing and to provide some security for now distraught farmers. Funds for drainage, irrigation, water conservation apd diversion will come from the $500,000,000 earmarked for rural rehabilitation. | Another $100,000,000 which Tugwell and his eohorts will spend goes for rural electrification.

Inadequate protective covering on the | land, the experts declare, permits water to run unrestrainedly into streams, instead of sinking into the ground, | and is thus responsible in large meas- ure for damaging floods. When the country was young, farmers could desert wornout lands | and push westward into a new and fertile territory. But rapid increase in population has put a halt to this. Resultant inability to abandon use- less farms, the Department of Agri- culture states, brings an economic crisis. Department figures reveal that today 35,000,000 acres have been destroyed by gully erosion alone. This is an area equal to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut com- bined, or 218,000 farms of 160 acres each. Dr. Tugwell and H. C. Bennett, head of the Soil Erosion Service, are ready to put 100,000 men to work at once on a wide front in this fight to keep the land where it is. = These men, expected to be guided at the scene of action by a corps of 800 young college graduates, will terrace areas endangered by erosion, put up check dams to halt gully erosion plow | wide sections in contours and raise| mounds as wind-barriers.

A major part of the soil-saving campaign is forestration, which is looked upon not only as an aid for the farmer but a big consideration in putting industry back on its feet. In 1929 the forest wood products of the United States were valued at $2,000- 000,000. Forest industries employed 1,300,000 workers, -who collected £1,500,000,000 in salaries and wages every year. The Department of Commerce to- day reports that in February of this year employment in the forest prod- ucts industries, which included the furniture, sawmill and turpentine businesses, was little over half of its pre-depression average.

Bone of Contention. ‘The bone of contention in this cam- paign is the fact that the Govern- ment must purchase the submarginal land from the families to be trans- | ferred as well as arrange for their transferral. The cost of acquisition is $5 or $6 an acre. The F. E. R. A, with which Tugwell will co-operate on the submarginal land retirement program if it is allowed, planned to turn the 6,000,000 acres studied into national parks and forests, wild-life refuges, co-operative grazing districts and to meet the land needs of the Indians.
