SEEK FARM AID
NEXT SESSION
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

PAUL SMITHS, N Y, July 81. -
Leaving the summer White House
where he had been a guest for "a
hours, Senator Fess, republican, Ohio,
indicated today that the administra-
tion in the next session of congress
would seek to improve agricultural
conditions by legislation along sound
economic lines, but would not favor
price fixing of crops as advocated by
farmers organizations in the west.
Undoubtedly there will be move
at the next session, Fess said
to strengthen measures already taken
in behalf of the farmers, and it will
be. along sound lines designed to ia
cilitate the marketing problem. The
views of the Ohio senator were given
few hours after the midwest farm
conference at Des Moines Iowa, had
been concluded, but he did not com
ment on that meeting and its stand Tor
legislation along price fixing lines.
1t was said, however, that during
discussion of many questions between
President Coolidge and Fess, who has
been prominent supporter of the
administrations agricultural policies
in congress, the farm relief question
was not gone into.
In expressing the opinion that the
administration would move along the
lines it has already charted on the
AGRICULTURAL map and continue to re-
sist, as it did suceefully in the
last session, price fixing and other
meaures it regards as unsound, Fess
/! expressed confidenct that there woulo
be no formidable reaction in the west
against the tariff.
So far as the senate as a whole was
considered, Fess expressed the opinion
that the republicans would retain, al
though admitting that if fights IN
Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, Kentucky
and Maryland should go against them
the republicans would need the votes
of The insurgents to organize the SEN
ate.

agriculture at the present time, the
executive of the country's largest
organization of farmers, declared:

dustrial policy and a foreign policy,
but an agricultural policy in step
with the present period, it has not.
1t has had such a policy in the past
that was satisfactory and workable
and in harmony with the require

contributed, but for the willing spirit
in which they have given it.
Only a small portion of the dis

nounced today that it was
highly improbable the fed

mitted that government
agents were still investigat-

there were no developments

"The position of the government in
this case," McNab stated, "has been
confined solely to the Investigation of
the ransom letters and other missives
received at Angelus temple in connec-
tion with Mrs. McPherson's disappear
ance.
Postal inspectors have been en-
deavoring to locate the person who
mailed the letter stating that $500,000
ransom would secure Mrs. McPherson's S
freedom. Should that person be dis
covered and the story of Mrs. McPher-
sons kidnapping be borne out, the fed
eraI grand jury would be asked to seek
an indictment against the kidnapers
for fraudulent use of the mails.
"However, should we find that the
letter was mailed as a hoax, there
would be no action permissible by the
grand jury, as there is no federal stat
ute making the mailing of such a miss
