. INIPROVED FARM PLAN PROMISED Secretary Wallace Gives Assurance in Address Before Federation. BY the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif., December 10.— Becretary of Agriculture Wallace promised the American farmer a bet- ter program than the outlawed triple | A yesterday and declared greater eco- nomic security for those who live off the soil is the objective of the admin- istration. Addressing the eighteenth annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Secretary said: “You “may have heard the idea advanced that the agricultural adjustment act should be re-enacted; that the pro- gram carried out under its original provisions was the best program agri- culture ever had. But good as that program was, we want to see it im- proved upon. A better program can and will be built.” . Its attainment, the Secretary said, centers around some method of con- trolled production, crop insurance, the ever normal granary and other sub- Jects essential to agricultural welfare. Valuable Supplement. “Crop insurance,” the cabinet mem- ber asserted, “would be a valuable supplement to any production adjust- ment problem that happened to be in effect. To assume it would be a com= plete substitute for production ad- Justment in a series of years of normal weather would be a mistake. “If and when normal weather re- turns, farmers will find that storage in the bins will not be sufficient in itself to take care of their surplus problems. ‘They will find that storage in the bins | must be supplemented with greatly | increased storage in the soil. In that kind of a situation, the welfare of | the farmer and the Nation will require | that the farmers again have power | equal to that which they once had un- | der the agricultural adjustment act and of which they were deprived by decision of the United States Supreme Court.” 4 Would Provide Reserve. The plan for crop insurance out- lined by Wallace would provide for| accumulation of reserve supplies of » commodities during the good crop years, to be drawn upon im iime of scarcity by farmers who had paid their insurance premiums in kind. Co-operators could take their bene- fits in kind or in cash. Wallace said this would not only raise commodity prices by reducing the market supply in flush years, but also would tend to keep prices at rea- | sonable levels in times of scarcity. + Reserve supplies would be put on the | market as prices started to rise in| the poor crop years. Maid Problem Solved. By an agreement between the | housewives’ association and the house servants’ union at Copenhagen, Den- mark, the domestic servant problem is believed to have been solved. The pact provides for proper training, sminimum wages, eight-hour day, over- time pay, maids to live out. A Gon- tract on these lines has been drafted, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON Ambulance to Court Maria Wendt, Eurasian girl accused of smuggling $100,000 worth of narcotics into the United States, is shown at Los Angeles as she was taken from an ambulance on her way to Federal court.

Louis M. Howe, principal secre- tary to President Roosevelt, are being remodeled and will be used by Stephen Early of the White House secretariat. Early, who is expected to return to Washington from Florida next Mon- day, will be installed in the private office used by Col. Howe, and other rooms in the suite will be used by Early’s executive staff. Changes have been made in the suite to provide a private office for Willlam D. Hassett, principal assistant to Eariy. Although the change of quarters has aroused speculation among White House attaches as to whether Early is to become Col. Howe’s successor as principal secretary, it is understood that Early and Secretary Marvin H. McIntyre will retain their present equal status. Members of Col. Howe's personal staff have been moved into the suite vacated by Secretary Early and his staff.
