SEAS VERY ROUGH
Coast Guard Cutter Is
Almost Worecked in
Rescue Attempt.
By WENDELL W. WEBB
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
ASTORIA, ORE.—(#)— Thirty
four men were counted lost today
as the wild pacific hurled six bat
tered bodies upon the shore from
the wrecked intercoastal freighter
Towa.
“Coast guardsmen said none or
the crew of the 410-foot vesset
could have survived the pounding
seas that smashed the freighter
into wreckage after a 76-mile an
hour hurricane tossed it upon
Peacock Spit, Davy Jones’ locker
for many another ship.
The furioug storm also threaten
ed several other vessels as coast
patrol sought bodies of other vic
tims.
It was the greatest toll of lives
on Peacock Spit since 1913, when
33 were lost on a tanker.
Narrowly Averted
An even greater loss of life was
averted narrowly when the coast
guard cutter Onondaga verred to«

barely to inch away from the dan

The Onondaga left the scens

Mountainous waves and an ir
resistible gale clutched the freight

Columbia River bar, bound gouth

SOS Sent Out
The oppressive force became
greater—an SOS was flashed—full
speed ahead was ordered.
[But the study engines of the
craft were no match for the gale.
The storm drove the boat back

giant breakers comb the shallow

Farmers Willi*Picket’” UntiliNew
Farm Program Passed by Congress
“Embattled Farmers’’ Are
Demanding New Laws
For Agriculture.
By FRANK I. MELLER
Associated Presg Staff Writler
WASHINGTON.—(#)—The capi
tal became a camp of “embattled
farmers” today as determination
spread among agricultural groups
to ‘“picket” legislature halls until
congress enacts a new farm pro
gram,
A poll of agricultural represen
tatives from virtually all sections
of the country revealed arrange
ments to maintain congressional
contacts on a larger scale than
ever before.
Moreover, there were signs that
when congress gets down to draft
ing a new farm bill, some farm
representatives may fight for
jdeas not cohtemplated by ad
ministration officials, ;
The proposal being pushed by
administration men, and incorpor
ated as the No. 1 plank in a
seven-point policy platform drawn
by 100 spokesmen for farm organ
izations Saturday, centers on pro
duction control through subsidized
soil conservation.
Farmers would get cash grants,
provided they had permitted the
transfer of certain acreage from
commercial production to soil
conserving crops, or had “adjust
ed” the commodities on certain
land.
Administration leaders, faced
with the problem of raising an
estimated $500,000,000 a year to fi
nance the program, are consider
ing an effort to enact most of the
old processing taxes as excise
levies. Many AAA officials be

“Baby Bond” Bonus Plan
Reported to Be: Ready for
Senate Study Late Today
Final Agreement on Plan
Expected When Finance
Committee Meets.
DETAILS PRIVATE
Leaders Hope Many Vets
Will Retain Bonds As
Investment.
BILL INTRODUCED
' WASHINGTON. — (AP) —
Administration forces intro
duced in the senate today a
new bonus bill providing for
full payment of the face :Illl:le
~ of bonus certificates in imme
~ diately redeemable SSO bonds.
WASHINGTON, —4P)—A ‘“baby
bond” plan of paying off the bonus
was reported today to be approach
ing agreement among senate ne
gotiators seeking a bill that might
meet approval at the White House.
| Final agreement on a measure
to be introduced in the senate was
not expected until late today when
the finance committee meets:
Senator Clark (D-MoJ)) advocate
of full cash payment, expressed the
opinion there would be an agree
ment, but at the same time did
not discount the possibility there
might be “a sharp disagreement.”
I Negotiators continued to keep
their own counsels on the details.
But it was indicated the main
idea wag to provide for bonds of
small denominations, cashable at
the treasury.
: Thus ex-soldier could obtain full
cash payment of his adjusted ser-
Vice certificate. if he
esired. But he couldga&o hold
all or part of the bon drawing
interest until 1945, j
The house measure did not touch
upon the method of payment, but
it also provided that any veteran
who did not cash his certificate
immediately could draw interest
until 1945.
Some administration leaders, ft
was said, were struggling to avoia
full and imediate yayment of the
face value of adjusted compensa
tion certificates, either in cash or
bonds, but these reports were not
confirmed.
The baby bond idea was con
ceived with the view that many
veterans would retain all or part
of them as an investment. By split
ting the payment wup into small
bonds, advocates of the idea appar
ently believed they could lighten
the immediate load on the govern
ment beecause fewer veterans
might seek full cash payment av
once,
Administartion leaders sought =
bill which would meet with ex
ecutive approval, but backers of
the bonus expressed belief a
measure would pass over a veto
anyway.
Clark insisted there would be no
settlement ‘“on anything less than
full cash payment.”
Many Already Paid
WASHINGTON, — (#) — The
(Continued on Page Six)
Bonus Would Bring
More Than Million
Dollars to This Area
More than $1,000,00 will he turned
loose in the Athens area when and
if the bonus is paid in cash by the
present congress. A total of $1,379-
192,99 will be due veterans of eight
counties in thig area if the bonus
is paid.
Indications today pointed to a
baby bond plan whereby the vet
erans would be given government
certificates, or bonds, which can
be cashed at the option of the
owner,
Clarke county world war veterans
are due $278,925, 57 on their ad
justed service compensation certi
ficates; Elbert veterans, $201,301,-
65;; Greene, $1387,319,07;: Madison,
$162,489,69; Jackson $235.322,01;
Oglethorpe, $140,775,03; Barrow,
$135,046,89; Oconee, $88,012,98.
While all of the veterans may
not cash their bonus certificates
at this time it iz estimated that
at least half of them will, thus
stimulating the trade channels in
this area by more than $600,000.
The volume of busines which wilt
he dene by this amount of money
would be many times the actual
amount of the payment to the vet
erans. -
* A recent survey made by the
American Legion indicates that a
majority of wveterans will use the
bonus to pay debts and to purchase
necessities for their families,

BANKHEAD ACT CASE
Decision on Tennessee
Valley Authority Not
Given Out Today.
RICE MILLERS CASE
Both Decisions Today Are
Unanimous; Talmadge
Case Remains.
By JAMES W, DOUTHAT
Associated Press Staff Whriter
WASHINGTON —{(#)— The Su
preme Court ruled today that
$200,000,000 of processing taxes
impounded by the courts must be
returned to the taxpayers, refused
to pass on the validity of the
Bankhead cotton act at this time
and adjourned without ruling on
the constitutionality of the Ten
nessee Valley authority act.
The tax decision did not go into
whether procescors had teo prove
they had not passed the tax on
to consumers before they could
recover, a main point at issue.
It was handed down in the case
brought by Louisiana rice mill
ers.
The result had no immediate
bearing on the prospects for suits
by procesyprs to recover the sl,-
200,000,000 taxes already collected
under ,the defunct AAA. This
question remains to be fought out
in the lower courts.
All Nine Agree
The nine justices all agreed also
that the review of the Bankhead
case, which was allowed only on
& ®ix 1o three Vots, had beenYu
providently granted.”
Another case involving this law,
filed by Governor Eugene Tal
madge of Georgia, a, Roosevelt
administration foe, will give the
court another opportunity to rule
- on it.
Chief Justice Hughes, explain
ing the Bankhead dismissal, said
in the decision that Lee Moor
the complaining Texas planter,
had prineipally given only gen
eral testimony regarding his fi
nancial necessities. s
The trial court concluded he
had failed to make a case, it was
recalled, and the appeals court
agreed “upon the established prin
ciple that a mandatory injunction
is .not granted as a matter of
right, but is granted or refused in
