Oral Battle at Meeting in
City Hall-Some Leave
Meeting

While one of the most heated con-
troversies of the year was being
waged in the council chamber Of the
city hall Wednesday afternoon by the
board of directors of the Birmingham
Humane Society over the dismissal
of an employee, passersby notified po-
lice authorities of the situation with
the result that squad congregated
at the door.
The fiery moments of the meet
ing were caused over the summary
dismissal of Fred Fender as Birming-
ham humane officer, which was de-
cided upon at the monthly meet
ing held in November. The dismiss
sal of Fender was attributed to his
alleged unseemly conduct toward
Mrs. James B. Branum, one of the
directors of the organization. Mrs.
Branum alleges that Fender used
language toward her that was I'M
seemly and ungentlemanly.
pender declared the controversy
had its .rigin over his issuing an
order restraining a pair of mules
owned By Mrs. Bfanum from being
pressed irto service, due to serious
abrasions en- their backs caused by
harness. Fender claimed hat Mrs.
Rranum used hars,i language to him

to say any more.

resented The faction whose platform
was that the society continue func-

while Rudolph was spokesman for
the accused officer. Rudolph al
legged that Pender had never been
given a fair trial and that the votes
cast by the directors at the No
vember meeting, which resulted in
the dismissal of Fender, were Illegal.
Rudolph said that he held this view
as the majority of the directors vot-
Ing at the meeting had npt been

forth in plain language that djrec-
tors could be elected only ut annual

As the debate reached its most
heated stage several left the as

audible tones. Some few were pre-
vailed upon to return by w. n. Wood,

dent of the society thumped loudly

tary Wood in which the name of

CONGRESS TAKES UP
HARDING'S PROGRAM
TO AID AGRICULTURE

Washington. December 6.--The
administrators program for rural
credits legislation became more
definitely outlined today with the
Simultaneous Introduction in the
House and the Senate of an amended
cridits bill with new features which
were declared to have the support
OF Secretary Valance Of the de-
partment OF agriculture as well as
OF officials of the treasury depart
ment and the federal farm loan
board.
Introduced by Senator Lenroot.
republican, Wisconsin, and Repre-
sentative Anderson. republican, Min
nesota, author and chairman re-
spectively Of the congressional ag
ricultural commission, the bill would
utilize the existing federal farm
loan system as a basis by creating
within it farm credits department
through which. it was declared, po-
tential credit facilities would be
provided for farmers short and long
term loans to the extent of $780,
900. 900.
Significance was seen in the in
PRODUCTION Of the legislation because
Of the recent White House confer
ence attended by Secretary Wallace,
Senator Watson of Indiana, and a
dozen other republican senator's. at
which the farm credit situation was
discussed, thoroughly and an agree
ment reached to provide comprehen-
sive credit machinery for the farm
ers through the federal farm loan
system.
The ~ farm loan banks at pres
ent have government subscriptions
totaling only 100000 but under
the bill introduced today they would
be provided with a revolving fund
subscribed by the governme.t total
ing $60.00o,000 divided equally
among the IL banks. The banks
would also be authorized to redis-
count farm paper with maturities
of from six months to three years.

Iowa Congressman Changes
Front by Introducing Bill
For Government Ownership
and Operation of Water
Power and Nitrate Plants
REP. ALMOND DOUBTS 1T
WILL PROVE SUCCESSFUL
Bill Identical to Norris Senate
Measure and 1t Is Believed by
Alabamians Will Not Receive
Endorsement of Congress.
Referred to House Board
WASHINGTON BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD
Washington. ID. G.. Dec. 6

Further complieating the situa-
ton, Representative L. J. Dickinson
of Iowa, introduced today bill pro-
viding for governmental ownership
and operation of the water power
and nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals.
Mr.. Dickinson originally support
ed the Henry Ford offer for Muscle
Shoals and was regarded by the
American Farm Bureau federation
as one of its right-hand men in the
House. He is chairman of the farm
bloc of the House.
According to Representative +.
B. Almon of Alabama, regarded as
the congressional spokesman of the
supporters of the Ford Offer the
action of Dickinson does not indi-
cate an abandonment by the farm
bloc of the Ford offer.
~ am opposed to the Dickinson
bill and supporter OF the Ford Of
fer said MIR. .Almon. Further
more, / do not think the Dickinson
bill will receive tls favorable at
tention of Congress. There is no
evidence that because Dickinson is
regarded as the chairman of the
farm bloc Of the House the other
members of the bloc will follow him
in his government ownership
scheme"
Has Norris Rug to 1t
The Dickinson bill Is almost iden-
tical In principle with the bill spon-
sored by Senator Norris, chairman
Of the agricultural committee OF the
Senate 1t provides for the crea-
ton of government board to sell
water power to be produced at
Muscle Shoals under the federal
water power act OF the United States.
and TO produce and sell fertilizer
without profit. provided an interest
charge OF ~ per cent on new money
which might be required to convert
the nitrate plants into fertilizer
plants may be demanded.
The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on military affairs from which
have already come three reports
one pro- Ford, one anti-Ford, and
one which seems to be a compro-
mise.
