Nirkula shooting, Page Three
BIZ rHucd Press
WASHINGTON, June IT,
President Hoover moved today
to quiet the protests which
have arisen during the past
ten days over prohibition en-
forcement Shootings.
Finding on his desk at the ex-
ecutiye offices this morning a tele-
gram from group of citizens at
International Falls, MINI, asking
for protection" against over-zes1-
Gus border patrol officers, the chief
executive dropped all legislative
and administrative business for
time to give personal attention to
disposal of the message.
The International Falls telegram
was direct appeal to President
Hoover for vigorous action to place
responsibility for the killing OF
Henry Virkula, Big Falls (Minn)
confectioner. by Border Patrolman
Emmett J. White.
For Gods Sake, Help"
The telegram ended with the plea
For Gods sake. help US
Treasury officials declined to con-
firm reports that the White House
had asked for a detailed report on
the Virkula Staying, but it was
learned that President Hoover con-
ferred with both treasury and JUS
tice department officials relative to
possible courses of procedure.
While the whole matter of pro-
hibition killings was before the
President, two of the foremost dry
leaders Of the nation we're White
House callers. They were Senator
Wesley Jones (Rep., Wash), author
of the Jones "f1ve-and- law, and
Bishop Cannon Jr.. Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South
Both denied having discussed any,
thing but semi-private business with
the chief executive.
In other quarters it was learned,
however. that dry organizations have
taken keen interest in the whole
situation which has developed over
recent sfootings. Dry leaders are
pressing Hoover to stand firm.
New Warming to officers
At the same time Seymour Low
man. assistant secretary Of treasury,
made public today a new warning
he sent customs officers on June 10
against the careless use OF firearms
in enforcing prohibition and customs
laws. He said weapon should be
drawn only in self defense or to
prevent commission of a felony.
The present enforcement trouble
has confronted President Hover with
precisely the situation he sought to
avoid at the outset Of his admin
istration.
He declared emphatically soon
after Inauguration that his admins
tration policy on enforcement would
be to avoid all dramatic or sensa-
tionaI acts and check at every
opportunity the acts of overzealous
agents

FARM BOUNTY
IN TARIFF BILL
Borah Opens Sharp Attack
on General Increases
in Rates.
AID MONEY IS VOTED
House 0. K. on ISL Million
Appropriation Given
Without Dissent.

r" Tnitcd prcss
WASHINGTON. June f7.-With-
out a dissenting vote. the house
today passed a bill appropriating
sl51,500,00O for the new federal farm
board.
Although one hours time was al
lotted to discuss the bill, less than
fifteen minutes was used.
The Presidents budget message
requesting the appropriation arrived
at the house a few minutes after the
bill was passed:
The general tariff battle opened on
all fronts in the senate today when
the farm bloc put forward the de-
benture plan as an amendment to
the bill and Senator William E.
BOrah. the leading Republican cam
paigner of last fall opened a sharp
attack upon the general increases
offered in the measure.
Wants Debenture in Bill
The same language of the deben-
ture provision which was eliminated
from the farm relief bill signed Sat-
. urday by the President was proposed
as a tariff amendment by Senator
George w. Norris Rep, Neb0. 1t
sought to provide that one-half of
the tariff on exportaole agricultural
products be offered as bounty out
of the treasury.
It would give the proposed federal
farm board authority to cut down
the debenture if it should lead to
over production.
A provision was added to author
ize the secretary of treasury to re-
deem the bounty certificates at SO
per cent of their face value. The ad-
dition was made to meet the OBJ
lection that the bounty would cause
speculation in certificates.
Borah Takes Floor
Norris made no statement con-
corning his amendment. but Borah
Immediately obtained the floor in
defense Of his pending resolution
proposing to instruct the senate f.
nance committee to limit tariff re-
vision TO agricultural rates and
those rates directly related to agri-
culture
Borah charged that the general
increase provided in the house bill
are in violation OF the platform
pledges made by President Hoover
and the Republican party during
the campaign.
Meantime. the senate finance
committee was continuing its hear
ings on the tariff under a schedule
which would enable it to conclude
July 10.
