FIRST STATE
PAPER READ
AT SESSION
President Also Propos-
es To Complete Leg
islation Initiated At
Former Meeting

WASHINGTON, April 16.-(P)-
President Hoover, in message OF
unusual brevity and directnesS, rec
commended to congress today the
creation of a federal farm board
with authority and resources to
remedy recurring causes OF depreS-
sion in the agricultural industry and
a limited revision of the tariff with
a reorganization Of the tariff COM
mission.
In addition he proposed in this,
his first state paper, the completion
of legislation initiated at the last
session for the suspension Of the ma
tional origins clause of the immigra-
ton act, the taking of the 1880 CEN
sus and the reapportionment OF
congressional representation.
Here is the full text Of PreSi-
dent Hoover's message to the spe-
cial session Of congress.
To the congress of the United
States:
I have called this special session
of congress to redeem two pledges
given in the last election-farm re-
lief and limited changes in the
tariff.
The difficulties of the agricul-
tural industry arise out Of null
titude of causes. A heavy indebt-
edness was inherited by the indus
try from the deflation processes Of
1920. Disorderly and wasteful
methods Of marketing have de-
veloped. The growing specializa-
ton in the industry has for years
been increasing the proportion Of
products that now leave the farm
and, in consequence, prices have
been unduly depressed by congest-
ed marketing at the harvest or by
the occasional climatic surpluseS.
Railway rates have necessarily In
creased. There has been a growth
Of competition in the world markets
from countries that enjoy cheaper
labor or more nearly virgin soils.

Hears Woman Scream

HOUSTON, April 16.-(P-The
body Of a man, about As, was found
floating near the Galena ferry ap-
proach on the ship channel here
today.
Discovery Of the body climaxed
an all-night search which began
last night when Fred Williams, op-
orator of the ferry, heard a woman's
scream and saw a sedan plunge into
the waters Of the channel.
There were no marks of identifi-
cation on the body of the man. At
tempts were redoubled to locate the
body Of a woman, believed to have
been in the machine.
Williams, ferry operator, said he
was on the Pasadena side Of the
ferry when he saw an automobile
approaching at high rate Of speed.
The machine did not Slacken a bit
but plunged into the water with a
loud crash.
The spot where the car struck the
water was about 20 feet deep and
high water has made the boyou cur
rent swift. The automobile was a
Galveston car, and officials believed
the man was an automobile polish
salesman.

Compromise
With Big Ten
Conference 0utcasts Refuse
to Give Up Faculty
Policy, However.

Bu United Press
IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. 12.-The
University of Iowa, by declaring in
eligible a galaxy Of athletes, seems
to have made a distinct move to-
ward reinstatement in the Western
conference.
"Ousted" for alleged proselyting
of athletes and refusal to allow any
outside interests to figure in the
control of their athletic staff, the
Hawkeyes early today gave in" re-
garding the athletes, but still con-
tinued to uphold their faculty policy.
After long committee meeting
an announcement came that more
than a dozen athletes would
be declared ineligible, presumably
because the athletes have figured in
deals contrary to the Big Ten rules.
According to reports the players
ruled ineligible include some of the
best of the HaWkeyeS' athletic stars
The ruling Of athletes ineligible
was seen as a compromise with the
Western Conference. When Iowa
was "ousted' last weekend, the
custer" was attributed directly to
the, Hawkeye refusal to disbar any
athletes, who supposedly had par
ticipated in a so-called "slush fund" )"
What result the verdict will have
is uncertain. The committee didn't
mince any words in saying it be-
lieves Iowa's athletic sphere is in
the Western Conference"
