aid for One Third of People
Of u. S. Must Be
Deliberate
BY WELL CHURCH,
United Press stah Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July II. The
federal farm board is counseling
farmers 70 be patient while the
fundamental work necessary to per-
manent Improvement of agriculture
Is done.
There he's been strong pressure
for spectacular action Immediately
10 convince the farmers that the
board means business, but the men
appointed by President Herbert
Hoover to deal with this problem
have resisted such appeals.
Any enterprise involving the
direct welfare of one-third Of the
people of America" the board stat
ed, and the indirect welfare of the
other tVo-thirds, must be ap-
preached deliberately
Working on the theory that direct
contacts with cooperative market
ing groups would prove the best
basis for acquainting hoard mem
bers with the problems of specific
commodities. the board announced
it would attend the annual meeting
Of the American Institution of Co.
operation at Baton Rouge, La, July
20.
Plan Regional Meetings
Cooperative leaders from all sec
tions Of the country will be pres
ent at the meeting. providing an I'M
usual opportunity tor development
Of cooperative policies.
The board further intends to hold
regional commodity meeting, as soon
as time will permit in sections of
the United States where the need
for such commodity gatherings be-
comes apparent.
Much has been said about the
costs of distribution Of farm prod
ucts between producer and ultimate
consumer. and about the possibility
that returns to producers may be
increased without any corresponding
increase in prices TO the ultimate
consumer" said a statement issued
by the board today.
Develop Co-Operatiyes
"The board firmly believes that
In many instances this is possible
through the development of vide
spread farmer groups for co-opera-
tive marketing. through greater
efficiency in management of CO.
operative institutions. and through
more direct avenues of trade be-
tween producer and consumer than
are now found TO exist in many
farm commodities.
Chairman Alexander H. Legge at
tributed the Jump in wheat prices
earlier this week 10 weather condi-
tons rather than 70 the beginning
OF the boards work.
We want what credit We can get
for a more favorable outlook in the
grain situation. Legge said, but
the fact is recent weather condi-
tons have not affected the grains
of the United States as unfavorably
as in Canada and in the Argentine,
for instance"

AIDS Of bogus
MONEY MAKER
Being SOUGHT
Federal Agents Take Hand
in Probe Following Arrest
of Columbus Man.
COSTLY OUTFIT SEIZED
Spurious Paper Closely
Resembles Real Currency,
Business Men Admit.

BIZ Times special
COLUMBUS. IND. July IL
Agents Of the United States treasury
department and police here are en-
deavoring TO find confederates of
Harold Brumheld. 40. at whose
home here $1,000 counterfeit
money making OUTFIT was seized with
nearly $700 in spurious currency.
A preliminary investigation has
been made here by Charles Macy,
Indianapolis. an operative of the
United States treasury department,
and ne agrees With Columbus police
that there is little doubt Brumfeld
was aided in his operations.
Arrest of Brumf1eld on complaint
of his wife. Mrs. Alta Brumf1eld.
who accused him of beating her and
a son, Leonard, q local barber, led
to seizure of the counterfeit EVIL
dence.
Liquor Recipes Found.
Officers found two printing press
es. plates, a large camera and hun
dreds of recipes for making al
coholic beverages at the Brumfeld
home. but a quart of home brew
was the only liquor discovered.
Most of the money seized was In
$40 Federal reserve notes, and
there was a small quantity of coins,
including imitation silver dollars
and bad SO gold piece.
The paper money was tied in
bundles marked first choice" and
second choice" the difference
being that only the first had threads
like real money.
Bankers and other business men
here admit that the money is 50
much like the real thing that had it
been offered to them, they would
have accepted it without hesitation
There is a slight difference in the
paper of the real and bogus.
Threatened Family.
Mrs. Brum1eld said that three
years ago boxes and barrels began
arriving at the home, which were
closely guarded by her husband.
She declares he threatened her and
the son with death if they ever told
of his counterfeiting operations.
The wife quotes Brunfleld as an
nouncing q few months after his
start in the bad money game that
he would make US nillionaireS, -
but did not explain how. He
showed her some SO bills and asked
if she could distinguish between
them and real money.
The Brumfleld family came here
from Nortonburg fourteen years
ago and he worked industriouSly as
an automobile mechanic until four
wears ago when he became q filling
station attendant. Since then, his
wife charges, he has used intoxicat-
ing liquor in increasing quantity
and has been cruel to her and the
son, showing a, dislike amounting TO
a mania toward any one entering
the home.

eral enforcement be wiped out SO
far as intra- state liquor traffic is
concerned. That merely would mean
the old Al Smith plan for letting the
wet states be wet and the dry states
dry. I am sure Indiana would fall
in the latter classification. But the
wet states are wet enough now,
from ell accounts, without passing
laws to contribute 10 their deltn-
Quency,'
Wright thinks that the Wicker
sham letter may be the opening gun
in battle for modification Of the
Volstead act, which he opposes. The
fact that Governor Roosevelt read
the letter, indicates that the lineup
will be nonpartisan, wet and dry,
since the New York Governor is a
Democrat. he pointed out.
