RIVERSIDE, Calf, Nov. TO-
Dan Gilkey, Long Beach sportsman
and owner of the Partridge Country
Club near Corona, acquitted of
grand theft by jury in superior
court, today faced reccivcrship pro-
ceedings.
The legal tanglc in which Gilkey
became involved resulted from re-
ported contemplated sale of the

Angeles negroes.
Violently protesting such deal,
members took court action, which
included the receivership step to
halt sale to the syndicate.
Gilkey, owner of 299S of the 5000

FARM BLOC"
WILL OPPOSE
COOLIDGE PLAN
Tariff Credit Scheme Not
Favored by Followers of
Senator Norris.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - The
word is being passed among mem
bcrs Of the Congressional Farm Bloc
that President Coolidge is "sympa
thetically' considering the tariff
credit plan Of farm relief known as
the dcbcnture system.
Mr.. Coolidge led a senator to be-
lieve at the White House recently
that he might encourage the plan,
it is said. The inference has spread
rapidly.
While it is impossible to get an
expression from the president him
self at this time, those of his polit-
zeal faith on Capitol Hill are OPP
posed to the project. 1t would pro
vide that farm products sold for ex-
port would receive "crcdit' of
half the value of the tariff on that
product.
This credit, backed by the treas
ury, could be used as a semi-negot-
liable certificate. 1t could be sold to
importers, obviously at discount,
to be used to pay tariff duties on
imported products.
The plan was put forward by the
National Grange. The Grange's ex-
ecutive committee is meeting here
NOW with officials of the American
Farm Bureau Federation and the
Farmers Union.
Holds UP McNary Bill
The Farm Bloc itself is not unan-
M, 1t, bal "a
Borah- Norris group has taken no
concerted action on it, but Senator
Norris, Republican, Nebraska, pres
idential candidate of the group,
strongly opposes it.
He thinks it might be considered
a subsidy and an excuse for other
subsidies; also that it
might be used as an argument for
raising tariff duties again.
Proponents of the project agree it
is not in conformity with ideas Mr..
Coolidge has expressed on farm re-
lief.
Many members of the bloc priv
atcly express belief. the president
will not champion the project but
may seek enactment of some modi-
fieation of it as an experiment at
removing the farm relief issue from
the next presidential campaign. The
matter has served to hold up for the
present all activity upon the Me
Nary-Iaugen price stabilization bill,
in the belief that definite express
ion may be expected from the presi
dent shortly.
