ENGLISHWOMAN, FAMED
AS WRITER, is FOUND
ALIVE; MEMORY GONE

HARROGATE, York, England, Dec.
IA, - R - Agatha Clarissa Christie,
writer of mystery tales and wife of
Colonel Archibald Christie, whose mys-
terious disappearance from her home
at Sunningdale on the night of De-
cember has. kept the whole country
side astir, came direct to Harrogate
and has been restina and enjoying
herself ever since. She even followed
in the newspapers the stories of her
disappearance and the wide sarch that
was being made for her.
Colonel Christie came here today and
identified his wife, who had registered
at hydropathic establishment under
the name of Mrs. Trazeneil of Cape
town, South Africa, saying she had
just arrived from that place.
There is no question about her
identity" said Colonel Christie tonight.
"She is my wife, but has suffered
complete loss of memory, and 1 do not
think she knows VINO she is. 1 am
hoping that rest and quiet will restore
her. 1 expect to take her to London
tomorrow to see her doctors and spe-
cialists."
Mrs. Christie was q popular guest at
the hotel: she sang and danced and
played billiards. Some of those who
became acquainted with her said she
had been around town every day since
she arrived and showed no signs of
abnormality.

New Farm Relief Bills
Come up in Congress
CONTINUED From Page Onet

Representative Dickinson. republi-
can, Iowa, farm leader, said he con-
si6ered the measure the most fin
ished piece of legislation to ease the
farm situation that could be devised.
Although basically a McNary-Hau-
gen bill, the new measure is different
in several important respects. The
tariff yardstick" advocated by Chair
man Haugen and the flair and rea-
sonable price standards" are missing.
The new bill contains no reference
to price standards or price levels.
The nearest it comes to mentioning
the tariff is in the declaration thar
one of It's aims is to preserve ad-
vantageous domestic marketing"
The much discussed equalzatioH
fee remains, brt it is assessed against
each marketed unit" instead Of
against all producers. The fee may
pe collected in the discretion of the.
proposed federal farm board on the
milling or processing, transportation
or sale of 4 commodity. Five basic
commodities are affected, cotton,
wheat, corn, rice and swine. Cattle
and butter have been eliminated and
result the bilPs sponsors claim, Of
demands from southern rice interests.
There is authorized an appropria-
ton of $250,000,000 to constitute
revolving fund from which loans may
be made. to commodity stabilization
funds in anticipation of the collec-
ton of equalization fees. Loans may
also be made from the revolving fund
directly to co-operatives for handling
the surplus. Both classes of loans
must be repaid with interest.
The bill carries a new feature In
the authorization of loans to CO.
operatives handling any commodity
for controlling the surplus" without
requiring an equalization fee. This
is similar to loan features of the Fess
and Tincker bills of the last session.
