NRA Campaign Among the Consumers?Raymond Moley's Resignation?Washington for Repeal. By EDWARD W. PICKARD T I 7TTEAT farmers of the Dation, in ' ?V order to receive federal casli benefits under the domestic allotment I plan, must agree to reduce their 1934 Scc'y Wallac# wheat acreage Dy i.> per cent. This was the announcement made by Secretary of Agri culture Wallace, after the news of the inter national wheat agree ment rea<4ied in the London conference w a s received. T b e secretary estimated that this reduction will mean a cut of about !>,GOO.OiR) acres in wheal plantings aiiu ui iuuic hj?u 124,iJ00jUUU bushels In the 1934 wheat j crop, provided nil the farmers sign up. This they were being strongly urged to do in appeals that were broadcast throughout the wheat belt I Under the allotment plan, the ma chinery of which Is now completed. I the government will pay the farmer 28 I cents per'bushel on 54 per cent of his I crop, or that portion destined for con I sumption in this country. In return I ihe farmer must agree to cut his 1934 I wheat plantings by 15 per cent. Some I $120.1)00.000 in compensating payments I is expected to be paid this year, if all I wheat farmers sign government con I tracts promising to reduce their next I year's planting by the stipulated I amount. Funds for the payments are I expected to be raised by a 30-cents-a I bushel processing tax on flour millers. I The application each farmer signs I obligates him to sign a pontract with I Secretary Wallace when his applica I tiou is approved in Washington. It I must be accompanied by a map of his I farm, showing location of all buildings, I his crop system, and legal description I of his location. It must also have a I signed statement of the thresherman I as to how much wheat came off the I farm in the last three years and a cer I tificate of the elevator or railroad offi ? clal who bought the wheat. B uDt'Y under the blue eagle," was B the slogan with which Adminis I trator Hugh Johnson opened the B great drive to persuade the entire na ? tion to give its full support to the I nua. The cry was taken up by an B army of a million and a half volttn H tecrs who started out to canvass the I households of the country, to tell the I people what the recovery act means I and to enlist the individual citizens I under its emblem. ? General Johnson warned the people I that "even a shadow" of boycott, in ? timidation and violence would wreck ? ''ie whole endeavor; but he Insisted I that confining one's patronage to deal H ers who fly the blue eagle would not H ''e boycotting the others and would H he not only justifiable but necessary H to ihe campaign's success. Completion of the automobile code H anil Its acceptance by President Itoose ? Te,r was counted a great achievement ? hy NUA, and the manufacturers were ? fairly well satisfied with the compro ? Ia's? on the union labor problem which H favo them the right to deal with their ^fl workers on a basi9 of merit and effl ? ciency. President William Green of ? tl|p American Federation of Labor was ? 'J1*** to take advantage of the pro ? Ti- on ?t the code which, he held, per H aits the workers to organize. He l'ie Kenfci*al organizer, William H " ims, in Detroit to appeal to auto ^B ?pMdoyees to "unite with labor." Pes ? s*Ul;>t'C observers see in all this the ^B K'-His of future conflicts. ^B l^nry Ford was still silent on his ^B n ^ntions concerning the code. Gen H -'^hnson said emphatically that ^B e n?t sign he could not get the : that outdoing the code with ^B '' r.t<r an(l higher wages would ? be compliance. ^B , J >i.i ii p, Eastman, who as fed ^fl i fr"' co'?rdinator of transportation H zs ^Gmpg the hardest Job in the ad ^B '' l>l-ath)ri. is profnotlng a freight Ir' equipment Ve Jj'Snpi.t program.

Eastman treble date their views ns to the or retirement of wornout and cars." The railroads are asked to submit | their recommendations for repairs and retirements of each year up to and in cluding 1938 with the average cost for | each car. Mr. Eastman wants the railroads to retire and destroy or rehabilitate the thousands of cars whose period of service has expired. He also asks them to consider the voluntary restric tion to service on their own lines of cars of light construction and cars of j larger capacity that are not good for , more than two and a half years of further service. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT selected * Secretary of the Interior Ickes to be administrator for the oil industry, and then selected the other 14 mem bers of the planning and conservation committee to assist Mr. Ickes in this work. The President also took steps to re lax the gold embargo for the benefit of the mine owners. He issued two or ders. one allowing the sale in foreign markets of gold mined in the United States and the other stringently bind ing the anti-hoarding regulations to safeguard the national supply. He made sure that this permission to give gold producers the advantage of the higher prices available abroad would also be shared by the refiners and his two orders made this possible. Then Mr. Roosevelt cleaned up his desk and began a week-end vacation. He attended the Dutchess county fair at Rhinebeek, and next day embarked on Vincent Astor's yacht for a cruise that was to last until after Labor day. RAYMOND MOLEY-, regarded as the "ace" of the Roosevelt brain trust, is no longer assistant secretary of state or in any other way connected Raymond Moley wun tne aaministra tioD. Following a call at the summer White House in Hyde Park, Professor Moley an nounced his resigna tion and his plans to become the editor of a new weekly mag azine to he established by Vincent Astor. His associates will be W. Averill Hnrriman and V. V. McNitt. The publication will be devoted to controversial articles concerning politics and economics and Moley said one of its purposes will be to interpret the ideas of the Itoosevelt administration, though it will not be In any sense an agent of the NRA. Both Professor Moley and Secretary of State Hull denied that the former's resignation was caused by the disagree ments between those two gentlemen which culminated at the London con ference. Many independent commenta tors held that Moley's retirement from the administration heralded the pass ing of the regime of the professor and the return of practical politicians to the direction of the nation's affairs. REPEAIJSTS were unnecessarily worried about the state of Wash ington. partly because the vote on wiping out the Eighteenth amendment was in the form of referendums in each of the legislative districts. This scheme, however, availed the drys nothing, for the state voted for repeal by about 5 to 2. Nearly complete re turns showed that only one district, with two delegates, went dry. so the repeal amendment will be ratified by the other 97 delegates when the con vention meets October .7 in Olympia. Washington is the twenty-fourth state in the repeal column. The state emergency committee, a retenlionist organization, fought re peal. It contended that In the event of abolition of the prohibition amend ment the state would be without liq uor regulation, except laws prohibiting sale of alcoholic beverages to Indians | and minors, until the legislature meets again in 193o. THIRTEEN deaths are to he laid to a storm in New Mexico. The Golden State Limited, a transconti nental passenger train. plunged through a weakened bridge into an arroyo near Tucumcart eight persons being killed and many Injured. Dur ing the same storm a night mall and passenger transport plane crashed against Mesa mountain not far from Quay, and the two pilots and three passengers perished. Two pursuit training planes collided in mid air over Randolph field. San Antonio. Texas, two cadets and an In structor losing their lives. Another instructor leaped with his puruchuie and was saved. npEA and conversation were all that Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, obtained when he visited President Roosevelt at Hyde P?rlr T. OC Montagu Norman pan led by George L. Harrison, governor of the New York federal reserve bank, and he | hoped to talk about stabilization of %the currency. But nlere were various other guests present, and still more dropped in during the afternoon ?and Mr. Roosevelt : had no desire to talk about stabilization or i any allied matters. So it was just a pleasant social affair, and Mr. Norman , left early. The eminent Londoner, however, did have a number of conferences with financial men, including Secretary of the Treasury Woodin, and monetary I problems were discussed, but the re sults, if any, were not made public. | PUROPE is not feeling at all peace ful these days, and this Is due large ly to the doings of German Chancellor Hitler and his Nazis in their conflict with the government of Austria. The Austrian Nazis are hurrying across the border to join their comrades in Germany, and the threat of invasion grows day by day. But, if it comes, the invaders will be met at the fron tier by a vastly increased Austrian army. Among other steps by the Vien na government is the decreeing of a new short-term enlistment force in which from 1G.000 to 20,000 men will be trained annually and a second army created. President Von Hindenburg and Hit ler attended a huge meeting of Ger mans at Tannenberg to celebrate the German victory there over the Rus sians. and the former, accepting as a gift from East Prussia a forest es tate, said: "I am thinking with rev erence, fidelity and gratitude of my I kaiser, the king and lotd, in this hour, when I am thinking also of my deceased comrades in arms, and when I proceed tq thank you for the gift.** The chancellor, flying the same day to Niederwald, near the Saar fron tier, told a crowd of 200,000 that Ger many would never give np the Saar. At the time of the latter demonstra tion there was a secret meeting of Nazi chieftains to whom Saar State Counciller Simon said: ''Wherever the German lauguage It spoken, wherever German blood runs in the veins, greater Germany ex tends. We will not be content Just with the Saar. The German lan guage is spoken as far west as Metz and Mulhouse. The Saar, Alsace, Lor raine and parts of Belgium and Hol land formerly were German and the German dharacter still lives there to day in the people. "Germany will no longer be a peo ple of 60,000,000 Inhabitants, but of 90,000,000. The conquest of the Saar will be the point of departure for other political successes on the west ern frontiers of Germany. The Nazi, the reich and Chancellor Hitler will not rest until this aim?a Germany of 90,000.000 inhabitants?has been achieved." The Saar matter, which supposedly will he settled In 1935 by a plebiscite, especially interests France, which now holds the valuable basin. Significant ly. Premier Daladier took occasion to Inspect the vast new French frontier fortifications, the main works of which are about completed. This great chain of forts and tunnels is designed to protect France from a surprise invasion by Germany. UNCLE SAM is determined to bring Samuel Insull back home to an swer for his alleged sins. At the re I quest of American government agents the Greek authorities again arrested the for mer utilities magnate, and the Appeals court in Athens sustained this action and re jected Insult's plea for release on bail. The fugitive from Chicago will have to spend another month under restraint pending the result of the second effort to extradite him. 1 . . . kei'nn In tiAfiT Klltl Samuel Intuit !fh ho i* Ironf UUl, UCIIlfS in i nr.,, ..v . under guard in a clinic. Insult's lawyers indicated that he 1 will first seek to have himself made a Greek citizen, and. failing this, will at tempt to show that the extradition treaty between the United States and Greece is contrary to the provisions of the Greek constitution. He is now accused of violating the American bankruptcy law. The extradition proceedings may be long drawn out Insull can only he extradited if the charge against him is an offense against Greek as well as American law. Lawyers in Athens say that violation of the bankruptcy law Is a much milder offense under Greek law i than embezzlement and larceny. G 1911. WMttm N*wap*p?r Uniaa. CHILDREN'S STORY ?Uy THORNTON W. BURGESS JERRY MAKES HIS WALLS STOUT To make success of any plan Each one must do the best he can. if then the plan does not succeed To blame himself he has no need. ^EVEIt in his life had Jerry Musk rat been happier than he was as he toiled to build that new house. He was far happier than when he had nothing to do but play about, as had been the case all summer. He got tired. Of course. But it was the healthy kind of tiredness that meant sound sleep when he crept into his bed in his castle in the bank of the Laughing Brook. And each day there was the splendid feeling that what he ! had done counted for something; that there had been no waste of time. 1 So Jerry Muskrat was happy, and because he was happy he talked, and becayse there was no one near to talk to, he talked to himself. He had just cut the roots of a bulrush and was resting for a moment before taking the whole plant over to use in building his new house. "It was hard work gettting this plant up by the roots," said he, "and that was because the roots were well fastened to the ground. Whatever is well rooted is hard to i move. Think It over, Jerry. .Just think It over. The flood that swept away your house Inst spring didn't sweep away the bulrushes or the trees along the bank of the Laughing Brook, j That was because they were so well rooted. The foundations of your house 1 are its roots so to speak. Just keep that in mind, Jerry, and see that the foundation walls are broad and stout." Jerry chuckled at the funny notion of calling the foundations of his house I roots. Then he swam over to use that I bulrush in the foundation of his house. Remembering how his old house had ! been swept away, Jerry spent a great deal of time and attention on the foundations of his new house. The bits of sod he had dug up and the mud he had taken from his tunnels and cellar were good as far as they went, but Jerry was too good a builder not j to know that if he used nothing else his foundation would be weak. So he# brought roots and bits of sticks and the stalks of rushes and these he worked into his foundation walls with I the mud and the bits of sod. And he made these walls broad and stout and went over and over them to make sure there were no weak places In them. So gradually the walls rose until when Jerry stood on them only his feet were in the water. By the end of another night he could sit on them without so much as wetting his feet. All the hard work under wa ter was finished. There was still a lot of hard work to be done, but It would be pleasanter and therefore easier than the work already done. So Jerry sat on the foundation walls of his new house and was happy and dreamed dreams of how he would build the finest house that ever a muskrat built, a house so fine that even his big cousin, Paddy the Heaver, would be envious of him. And dreaming his fine dreams under the twinkling stars Jerry forgot the one thing that none of the little people of the Green Forest or the Green Meadows or the Laugh ing Brook or the Smiling Pool or the Old Orchard ever should forget for a wee, wee minute?-to watch out for danger. And this was quite as Hooty the Owl had hoped It would be when he had first discovered what Jerry Musk rat was doing there In the Smiling Pool. e. 1?3. by T. W. Ours ess.?WNU Berries.

GraphicGolf| | Hd ?y USING DRIVER THROUGH THE FAIRWAY THERE has been little dissension with the larger and heavier ball, that is now in oilicial use. In fact most golfers are more than pleased with It For one thing It sets up bet ter on the fairway and offers a larger broadside to hit at There Is no ne cessity to slam into the ball to make it rise with a rather straight club as was often the case with the smaller ball. In fact its ease of elevation has led Bobby Jones to resort to the use of his driver under certain situations through the fairway. When the ball presents a fairly good lie and a long shot into the wind or a far second Is desired. Jones uses his driver with no sense of undue risk. Although the av erage golfer might hesitate to follow Jones' example, the new ball has at least made brassie and spoon shots simpler. ?. 1933. Bell Syndicate.?WNU Service.
