LOWERED
Farm Board Declares Re-
lief Can Only Come By
Less Production.
OUTLINES PROGRAM
Says Sterilization H a s
Failed To Prevent De-
ciines In Prices.
BY CECIL OWEN
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Dec 5. UP
Failure of its stabilization opera
tions to prevent severe price de-
clines was reported to congress to-
day by the federal farm board in
its first annual report.
The report bluntiy warned the
nations growers that the govern
ment cOulC not protect them from
the consequences of continued ov-
reproduction. Voluntary restriction
CT production by farmers was held
| imperative if government aid was
to be effective
Although admitting its emergen-
cy buying operations in wheat and
cotton had not produced the results
; desired, the board held they were
i justified nevertheless. If the board
had not intervened grain and cot
ton prices would have fallen even
further, the report said
For the future. the board said
stabilization measures might con-
tinue to play a limited role in the
governments program but added
such measures cannot wisely be
| undertaken lightly, for many in
volve not only excessive risks of
loss Of public funds, but grave dam
| ger of serious disaster to cooper
atives themselves
Finally" it added, the board
regards measures for prevention of
surpluses. through control of ex-
| ceSSlve production, as absolutely es-
sential to stabilizing farm prizes
and farm incomes Cooperative
associations and stabilization cor
| porationS, supplemented by other
devices, may prove able to deal
| with temporary or occasional sur
pluSeS.
Summary Offered
Summarizing it's conclusions as
result of its experiences with wheat
Stabilization in the past year, the
board said it was apparent II the
| case of wheat or any similar COM
! modify that
l. To be successful a large guam
tity Of the commodity must be
| bought by the government. The
| accumulation Of such a vast amount
| OF the crop has a somewhat lower
ing effect On prices.
,. Purchases in the cash market
alone are inadequate to sustain
prices and do great injury to legi-
innate operations in the option
! market by throwing cash prices out
of line with futures. This means
! that large purchases for future de-
livery must be made.
8. Transactions in the futures
market having been entered on,
there is no good place 70 stop. Op-
| ton prices are published for six to
eight months in advance, and as
soon as buying of any option is
stopped il gets out OF line. This
imposes a hardship on those used
to hedging in the futures market.
4. The shortage problem is SER
| ious in any stabiliZation activity.
When a large quantity of wheat is
purchased and held in terminals or
warehouses, it interferes with hand
ling OF the crop. Some of the
| wheat must inevitably be held at
such distance that it is not avail
able for most economical use OF
sale.
5. When the government has
! bought wheat or another crop in
this way it is difficult to dispose OF
it. Sales by stabilization corpor-
alton tend promptly to turn the
| market downward and abundant
complaint is received from growers
| who are still holding their crop.

SOVIET DEMANDS
DEATH PENALTY
FOR PL0TTERS
Crowds Cheer Vigorous
DenunciatiOn OF Eight
COnspirators.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, Dec. 5. U.P)-The
penalty OF death by shooting for
all eight of the counter revolu-
tionaries on trial here was de-
manded today by Nicholas Krilen-
ko, the state prosecutor, as he
swept the final chapter Of the al
legged "interventionist plot trial to
its close.
The demand, made with all Of
the vigOr of the diminutive pros
ecutor, threw the crowded court
room into a wild confusion Of
cheers and applause.
The demonstration supporting
his demand swept through the
place on great shout of ''Hur-
rahs" which spurred the feelings of
the millions listening in on the
radio.
Krilenko, striking with all Of his
power against the pleas Of the de-
PENDANTS and giving ample reason
for the nationwide fame of "Krilen-
kos sneer," brought home in a cold
manner the states demand for the
death penalty.
Paragraph SO of the Soviet code
provides the proper punishment
for economic counter revolution" :"
the prosecutor told the court as
millions of persons listened in the
courtroom or before radio sets All
who heard him knew that article
SO provides the penalty Of death.
Krilenko made every effort to
prove that the basic Soviet indus
trials. especially coal, peat, oil and
metals, actually were yielding two
or three times more than the plan
ming organs, in which the accused
men were influential, originally
projected.
The defendants were not guilty
OF plotting merely a general and
unorganized plan of sabotage in
preparation for intervention of for
eign powers against the Soviet, he
insisted, but were guilty of care
fully organized conspiracy for an
economic crisis scheduled to cul-
inmate in 1890. simultaneous with
the attack of interventionist arm
les.
He reverted to what he called
"the idiotic fable" in the anti-So-
Wet press concerning the torture
chambers of the Soviet secret po-
lice" The audience, as we'll rs the
defendants, laughed when he read
description from a Paris news
paper Of hot and cold rooms" for
G.. P. U. inouiSition.

character illusion that rewarded the
