The government, beaten in the trial court, won in the Court of Appeals, President Roosevelt is whole- heartedly behind the plan to use the half-forgotten Soil Conserva- ition Act of 1935 which will be {amended to: make clear that farm- ers are to be rewarded for main- | guished from, the prevention of { “soil erosion.” The measure, as amended, is expected to be a sat- isfactory substitute for the de- funct AAA and to maintain the policy of congress to provide farm income'that measures up to that of industrial workers. The Presi- dent thinks it will carry out the program he laid down last Octo- Ber for a “more permanent plan” pte: maintain and increase the Ypains made by agriculture and to broaden operations to give “in- creasing incentives for conserva- tion and efficient use of the na- tion’s soil resources.” While the President would not discuss crop control. his deserip- tion of the dangers of over-usuage of soil, coupled with the infer- ence that good land could be taken from production temporar- ily on the ground of conservation, for the reason that soil should lie idle periodically, indicates that there will be no lack of crop eon- trol. The President called atten- tion to “intangible” erosion, which consists of using up the chemicals necessary to keep soil productive.

President Roosevelt recently emphasized the ‘need for producing private thomes at a cost of less than $5,- 1900 per dwelling, and it is under- “stood that a small house program, {to be financed by private interests, "is desired.

Asked what caused the damage to his vessel, Captain Irwin said that he had given assistance to the Ferry Key West, which was aground, and when the ferry had been floated and the lines cast off, it backed down on the Kil- kenny and caused the damage. Captain Irwin said he had re- ported the matter to the local WPA administration to have ar- rangements made for repairs to his ship. The Kilkenny is on one of the regular routine checking up on vessels whether or not they are supplied with all equipment re- quired by law.
