Certificates ON Bonded
Grain to Aid Farmers
Hoover at Work ON Plan to
Obtain Credit for Crangers
on CrOps

WASHINGTON, June 13.-After a
conference with Secretaries Hoover and
Wallace to-day, representatives of
grain interests and liability companies
began work on form Of storage Ger
fiicate which, safeguarded by insur-
ance, would enable farmers to obtain
adequate credit on the security of ware
housed crops.
The committee which is drafting the
certificate, Mr.. Hoover said, represents
the American Farm Federation, the
Farmers Union, the millers, grain ele-
vator and grain handling interests and
the liability insurance companies.
The .conferees agreed, Mr.. Hoover
declared, that a warehouse receipt
could be drawn in such form and under
such conditions that it would pass as
an order for the delivery of grain,
thereby greatly increasing the farmers
borrowing power and relieving him of
the pressure of selling his grain ex-
cept at his own option. Such a plan. he
added, was declared by the conference
to be economically sound. Representa-
tives of the Federal Reserve Board as
serted, he continued, that such a GER
tiiicate would greatly increase avenues
of credit.
No legislation would be necessary to
provide the farmers with this credit
instrument, he added

Yet, Sims Says
Admiral Believes Leave Was
Cancelled Because His
Reply to Inquiry Was
Delayed i'm Transmission

Sails for Home Tomorrow
as Originally Intended;
Entertained by Harvey

LONDON, June 13 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Rear Admira! William
S. Sims, ordered peremptorily to re-
turn to Washington because of his
statements regarding Irish sympathiz-
ers in the United States, said to-day he
had not yet received Secretary Denby g
cable revoking his leave. He announced
however, that he would adhere to his
original intention of leaving Wednes-
Gay on the Olympic.
The admiral told an interviewer that
he believed Secretary Denby's second
message ordering him home, which fol-
lowed his first cabiegram for verifica-
tion Of published accounts of his
speech, had been dispatched because
Admiral Sims's response had been de-
leyed in reaching the Secretary. Ad-
miral Sims insisted that the delay in
his reply was due solely to delay in
transmission, and declared that he
made his reply within an hour after
receiving Secretary Denby's cablegram.
Admiral Sims's day was filled with
social engagements, and tonight he
dined with Amba ssador and Mrs. Har-
vey. The Duke of Connaught and other
