CAPPER PREDICTS ACTION.
Sees Approval Of Program Outlined by
Hoover.

CHICAGO, March 20 Ex-senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas yesterday pre-
dicted a program for farm relief as out
lined by President Hoover would be ap-
proved by the special session Of Congress
called for next month.
Senator Capper was in Chicago on
his way to Washington to attend hear
ings on farm relief by the Senate com.
mittee on agriculture.
1.-The country is expecting action from
Congress, is entitled to 1t, and ought
to get it Immediately" he said. "The
country has waited and we have post.
pcned action long enough.
las understand Mr.. Hoover's pro-
gram, it is designed to bring about
Sterilization Of the agricultural in-
dustry, place the control of surplus
production in the hands Of the pro-
ducers through cooperative marketing
and stimulate the development of mar
kets for farm products. It contemplates
cooperation by the Government with
the farmers in this enterprise, not
through subsidies, but through the lertd-
ing of funds needed in getting the pro-
gram under way. 1t is logical and
constructive way Of helping the farm
ers solve their surplus marketing diff
ficulty. The disputed equalization fee
plan win not be in the new farm bill"
There was a fine spirit of harmony
prevailing between farm leaders, the
President, the new Secretary of Agri-
culture and Congress, he said, adding
that out Of all the constructive thought
that has been given to the problem
legislation should result that would be
satisfactory to the country and produce
real results. The proposed legislation
as a result of hearings to be started
next Monday should be taking definite
form by the time Congress convenes,
he said, predicting that the final plan
would be enacted into law so that in
most cases 1t might apply to the 1929
crops.
Senator Capper said he expected the
new legislation to include higher tariffs
on farm products on an import or mar
ginal import basis, which he said would
help In providing protected home, and
gave butter as an example of o com.
modify needing a higher tariff, adding
that frequently small imports have
huge influence on prices here. He add
ed, however, that this is no time for
q general upward revision of the tariff"
With the crops on an export basis,
he said, efforts would be to build
more efficient marketing machinery
with q Federal farm board to aid In
this process, having a capital possibly
OF $500 ,000, 900, and cooperate with the
agencies already operating to reduce
marketing costs.

HOOVER ATTITUDE
BALKS FARM GROUP
Leaders in Congress Seek
New Foundation for Formu-
Iating Relief Policy.

BY the Associated Press.
Leaders in Congress are looking for
new foundation on which to base the
farm relief hearings which will begin
ut the Capitol next week.
The foundation they have been count
ing on to provide working basis for
the discussions has been very definitely
removed with the disclosure that Presi-
dent Hoover does not intend TO advance
q detailed program. =.
They are still hopeful. however. that
they will be able to start with state
ment OF the administrations views, and
have invited the new Secretary of Ag-
riculture, Arthur NJ Hyde, to appear
before the Senate agricultural commit
tee next week.
HYDE Acceptance Awaited. "--"..+-
Whether MFR. Hyde will accept the
invitation. which was addressed to him
Monday by Chairman McNary of the
Senate committee, has not been made
known. If he should decide not to ap-
pear before the committee, it is expected
to begin hearings on the basis Of the
twice-vetoed McNary-Haugen proposal
with the equalization fee provision
which the Coolidge administration per-
sistently opposed and the revised bill
introduced at the last session by SenA-
tor McNary with that point of con-
troversy eliminated.
The McNary bill had the indorse-
ment of William M. Jardile, Secretary
Of Agriculture in the Coolidge cabinet,
but has been given little thought as
basis for the new farm aid discussion
since it became known in January that
President Hoover intended to call a
special session Of Congress. to consider
the problem. @
Matter Left to Congress.
Republican leaders then decided to
wait for presentation of the new
Presidents views, but he has preferred
to leave the formulation of a definite
program to Congress and confine his CO.
operation to conferences on its details
with such members as may wish to dis
cuss them with him as they come up.
Meanwhile, he has rested on his cam
paign declarations in favor Of the estab-
1ishment Of Federal Farm Board hav-
ing wide and flexible powers to deal
with the surplus crop and other dificul.
ties of agriculture
In addition to Secretary Hyde, Chair
man McNary has asked two other De.
partment of Agriculture officials to app
pear before the committee, Nils A. o.
son, chief of the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics and Eric Englund.
chief of the Division of Agricultural
Finance.

WASHINGTON, Dec, g, tP)- The American government mes sages appealing unofficially to the Soviet for assistance in the search for Colonel Eielson and Mechanician Rorland, were flash ed directly to Moscow and to the two Soviet ships, the Lipke and the Stavropal, both in the vicini- ty where the American aviators disappeared
 The message to Moscow was transmitted through the TaSs Soviet News Agency, thence to the ships. Messages sent by Gov ernor Parks to the State De- partment were in turn sent to the Interior department which department stated 1t had no ob- lection to the appeal for assist ance.
 Secretary Wilbur, on the urgent and pathetic appeal of Vilhial- mar Steffansson, Arctic explorer, sent a communication direct to the Soviet capital. The State del partment was not called upon to rule upon the message as sent before that department had been consulted. The message to Parks suggested he radio the vessels for use of dog teams.

GARFIELD WOUNDED
HERE 4S YEARS AGO
MortalIy Shot in Baltimore &
Potomac Station by Charles
]. Guiteau.

Forty y-eight years ago today the effect
OF two pistol shots was felt In every
home in the land.
At $50 o'clock in the morning on
July 2, 1881, shortly after Washington
and the Nation had risen from break
fast tables to the activities of a Sum-
n1er day, President Garfield was shot
down and mortally wounded in the
Baltimore 4, Potomac Railway Station
at Sixth and streets.

his Secretary of State, had arrived at
the station few minutes before the
departure of train for New England.

Mr.. Garfield had accepted an invita-
ten to deliver the commencement ad-
dress at williams College, Missachu-
sets, and it was about time to board

ters he readily wrote bis name as
"Charles J. Guiteau."
Meanwhile, Mr.. Garfield had been
carried tenderly to Q secondfioor room
In the station. The changing bell Of the
train he was to have boarded had no
summons for him. Both shots had
taken effect. one bullet striking the

Association. Charles T. Jesse presided

instructed to complete their report on
the library SO that definite action can
be taken by the s1sociation at its
August meeting.
Members of the association were Of
the opinion that some immediate and
definite action should be taken to OBJ
tain the library room because of the
changes that are now taking place In
