FARM FAMILIES ESCAPING RELIEF Better Crop Conditions, Own Resolution and Loans Aid- ing Thousands. By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, July 31.—Rural middle America is going off relief. By thousands, farm families are be- eoming self-supporting, aided by better crop conditions, resettlement loans and their own efforts, an Associated Press survey showed today. Since a year ago approximately 10,000 Kansas farm families have worked themselves off the relief rolls and 9,600 families are beating back with the aid of rehabilitation loans, Carl Howard, supervisor of farm man- agement of the Federal Resettlement Administration for the State, reported. Kansas farmers were taken off relief last month, and not more than 500 families are still getting this aid, How- erd said. Of 17,000 Minnesota families on relief in 1934, almost half—8,000— again are on their feet through Gov- ernment loans to buy horses, cattle and seed and because of better crops. Nebraska farm familles on relief | have dropped from about 3,000 to a negligible number today. In July, 1934, there were 27,484 ‘Wisconsin farmers on drought relief. In June, 1935, the number had drop- ped to 550. Relief Statistician Her- man Somers said this reversal was due to “splendid weather conditions and improved farm prices.” Incomplete information from Ili- nois indicated that “in 43 counties with heavy rural population” relief clients dropped from 23,149 in 1934 to 19,968 in July, 1935. Missouri relief officials reported some 4,500 farm families “have become self- supporting through the rural rehabili- tation program this year.” Towa farm relief authorities said 8,578 rural families were receiving drought aid on March 1, 1935, but the number had been reduced to 1,619 late in July.

ELECTION OF CALLES CLAIMED BY PARTY Son of Former “Strong Man” ot Mexico Credited With Nuevo Leon Victory. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 31.—The State Committee of the National Revolu- tionary Party contended today that Plutarco Elias Calles, jr., won the governorship of the state of Nuevo Leon over Gen. Fortunato Zuazua. Gen. Zuazua's election previously had been generally conceded. Unoffi- cial figures issued by the Revolution- ary party, however, credited Calles, son of the former “strong man” of Mexican politics. with 29,771 votes to 21,251 for Zuazua, who ran inde- pendently. It was rumored here, however, that the National planned to concede the election to Zuazua as a concession to popular opinion against Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles, who retired from politics after | ) a dispute with President Lazaro Car- denas.

By the Associated Press. Stripped of & provision for Govern- ment purchase of coal mines, the Guffey bill establishing a “little N. R. A" for the bituminous coal in- dustry today was before the full Ways and Means Committee of the House. Without making any recommenda~ tions pro or con, & subcommittee, headed by Representative Samuel B. Hill, Democrat, of Washington, re- ported it to the full committee yes- terday. The only change Hill's committee made was to delete the | provision empowering the Secretary of Interior to buy $300,000,000 worth of coal mines and retire them from pro- duction. The subcommittee’s failure to ap- prove the bill was reported to be due to doubts as to its constitutionality. Recently President Roosevelt wrote Chairman Hill advising that the sub- committee should not permit doubts as to constitutionality, “however rea- sonable,” block the legislation. The bill is being backed by the United Mine Workers and a number of coal operators as a means of sta- bilizing the industry and enabling it to meet the union’s terms. Some other operators, opposing the meas- ure, estimated it would increase the Nation’s coal bill by more than $500,000,000. The increase per fon would be $1.55, the operators es- timated. As a matter of political policy, it was reported, the Democratic mem- bers of the subcommittee decided the bill should not die in the subcommit- tee. They would go no further, how- ever, than to report the bill back to the full committee without a recom- mendation. Hill, asked whether he still thought the bill unconstitutional, made no comment.
