Farm Problems Into
President’s Lap
" "DES MOINES, lowa —(AP) —
The problems of the Mid-West
farmer are to be tossed into the
lap of President Roosevelt for a
solution.
This decision was made Tuesday
‘night by five governors from as
many middlewestern states and
the authorized spokesmen for four
others, who, recommended to the
President these steps:
‘The immediate fixation of mini
mum price levels for major farm
products.
An NRA code for the farmer.
Currency inflation, properly
safeguarded and controlled.
The quickening of federal re-fi
nancing of farm mortgages.
The governors—Langer of North
Dakota, Berry of South Dakota.
Herring of lowa, Olson of Minne
sota, and Schmereman of Wiscon
sin—together with representatives
of Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and
Nebraska, drafted their recommen
dations after a two day conference
with leaders of the nation’s chiet
farm organizations.
The five governors plan tg, carry
their program in person to Presi
dent Roosevelt Thursday. They
were to meet in Chicago Wednes
day, preparatory to the Washing
ton trip.
Commending the President for
“his earnest efforts to find an ef
fective and just solution of the
farm problem,” and for progress
“thus far made,” the midwestern
executives added their belief thal
“certain immediate action, supple
mentary to action taken by the na
:jonal administration is impera
tive.”

ing that the government will un
dertake stricter suprevision of in

ment of commerce, proposed to it
‘the creation here of a ‘“National
Chamber of Commerce and Indus

ment and development of the pres
ent Chamber of Commerce of the

At the same meeting, the recom
mendation of NRA’s industrial ad
visory: board that five of its thir

“If industry does not organize
and governing litself, either the

with the consequent paralyzing ef
fect on initiative and progress.”

. ATHENS —(AP) — Samuel In
sull, holding congratulatory cable
grams in his hand, Tuesday held
:; informal mid-day reception at
his hotel to celebrate the refusal
of the Greek court to permit his
extradition to the United States.
Holding up one messae after an
other, Insull, in excellent = spirits,
expressed hig thanks to his friends,
bu;was not inclined to discuss. his
personal plans, saying he would
let ‘those affairs take their natural
course.,
~ Morning newspaers commenting
on the court’s decision expressed
pleasure and said Greek justice
had reached its highest pinnacla
in the verdict. They also said
they were pleased that the justice
of a small country was not allow
ed to be prejudiced or intimidated
by a large country,
Forest Hbrness, representative
of the American government in the
Insuil hearing, 'moved €om the
hotel Grande Bretague to the
American legation, where he de
clined to say anything concerning
the result of the case.
Asked whether thé report that
three other charges were being
brought against Insull was correct,
Harness replied, “I am not the
American government. You had
better see the minister.”
Lincoln MacVea~h, the miniater,
replying to the same question,
said:
ili have not received official no
tification of the verdict. 1 have
advised Washington fully. Any
further actiom must be decided
there.”
Again free from the reach of the
long arm of American law, Insull
was lavish in his expressions of
gratefulness for the courtesies
shown him and still was absorbed
with the verdict and public opinion
concerning it.
“Insull” the court said, ‘“used
his good name as personal guaran

company’s credit and after their
bankruptey remained in America
and gave up his personal and his
wife’s fortunes.”

TIVERTON, R, L. —(#)— Three
men were killed and a dozen more
were injured Wednesday when an
oil tank being tested at the plant
of the New England Terminal
company in North Tiverton collap
sed. The collapse was shortly foi
lowed by an explosion and fire
which enveloped four of five big
tanks nearby, containing oil.
Several workmen were reported
missing immediately after the col
lapse of the tank and the outbreak
of the fire, but since a number of
men were rushed to hospitals in
Fall River, it was believed that
they might be found there.
The known dead included a full
blooded Cherokee Indian, known as€
“Chief” Gaylor Henshaw, whose,
home was somewhere in Oklaho
ma: Lester Hornback, address mnot
ascertained, and Henry St. Pierre

dead had been brought there and
that the two injured taken there
were feared™ dying. Those near
:fith were Manuel Luiz, 39, and

Tiverton, Hospital authorities held
little hope that either would re

‘ NEW YORK,—4{f)—To Al Smith
some aspects of the NR.A. are
“very puzzling.” ; ‘
In. an editorial in. the November
issue of the New Outlook magazine
pubished Wednesday, Smith set
forth certain features of the gov
lernment‘s recovery program which
he believed inconsistent or border
ing on illegality.
. “It ig all very puzgling,” he said
“and the bewildered observer, hop
ing ultimately for an honest test
of these issues in,the courts, is
further confounded by the editor
ial suggestion in a newspaper of
wide circulation that the President
could ask congress to create a few
more supreme <ourt judgeships
and fill them with men sympathetic
with the aimg of the national re
covery act,
“That would indeed be a new
deal.”
Smith questioned the constitution
ality of certain state laws passed
in conjunction with the N.R.A. and
which made punishable in state
courts violations of N. R. A. codes
filed with some offficial of the
commonwealth,
He commented, too, ‘that all em
ployes of private business, except
the railroads, had to come under
N.R.A, codes while government
workers were exempted from the
“benefits of shorter hours and
higher wages.”
“The watchword of the business
man is spend,’” Smith wrote. ‘“The
watchword of the government is
‘retrench.”’
