duction of fertilizer. Regardless of the form legislation takes, Black says he will introduce an amend ment to lease the machinery to cooperative organization of farm CTS, which would produce and sell fertilizer at cost.
 Farmer Relief
 Operation of the plants" he says, would provide employment for thousands, and if we manufac- ture nitrate we will do something to give the farmer relief. The ni- trate plants were intended for the aid of agriculture through the pro- duction of fertilizer
 'Last year in Alabama, about one-fourth of the return from every pound of cotton produced had to be paid out for fertilizer. The same was true in most other cotton states"
 Commercial sources estimate that there will be probable reduction in fertilizer consumption this year ranging sectionally from 10 to 30 per cent, due to inability of many farmers to obtain credit.

Reindeer
 Troubles
 Up Again
Committee Hearing Resum- ed Today Sutherland
 and Others Appear

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. IT, Carl Lomen is on hand to defend his reindeer company in Alaska as the Reindeer Committee prepared to continue hearings.
 Delegate Sutherland planes the Lomens for most of the reindeer troubles in Alaska.
 Delegate Sutherland, the Lomens, Biological Survey and Department cf Interior representatives and both white and Eskimo reindees herd owners are to testify during the hearing today.
 Carl Lomen denied all charges made against the company, of en- croachment upon Eskimo herds and grazing lands. He said his com pany has invested $2,500O00 and controlled less than four per cent of the grazing land in Alaska and owned only twenty per cent of the herds but did have 85 per cent of the meat business.
 Lomen said the weakness of Fed eral supervision in that million reindeer were being handled by Government school teachers who are unqualified and untrained in the livestock business"
 Lomen said a great deal of the criticism against the Lomen Rein deer Company is due to ignorance.

 Bulk stations at 50-mile inter vals along the lines will serve adja- cent territory.
 Dangers Minimized
 Engineers say the operating prob- lens or dangers in transporting gasoline by pipeline do not vary greatly from those involved in the transportation of crude oil.
 The Great Lakes Pipeline con- pany was organized by the Barns dall corporation and the Conti- mental Oil company, but other com- panies have completed negotiations for use of the line.
 The Phillips line will run from the company's Borger, Tex, re- finery northeast of Wichita, Kas., thence to Kansas City and across Missouri to St. Louis. At the lat ter point docking facilities will be available for shipping by barge up the Mississippi to the Twin Cities, southward to Memphis and New Orleans, and eastward via the Ohio waterway to Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.

TOM NOONAN HAS
 PROGRAM READY
Story of Abraham Lincoln All0way to Be
 Told

General Smedley Butler, of the marines, was not the first man to att tempt to dry up Philadelphia, says Tom Noonan, Bishop of China town, and superintendent of tho Rescue society at and Doyers street, New York.
 General Butler made a bold at- tempt, as did the man before him, but he failed and they sent him to China. The first man, who failed just as badly, but used different tactics. went to the Bowery and finally started life anew.
 His is an historic name, Abraham Lincoln Alloway. As a bartender of the famed Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia, "Abe" had lots of chances and he took them. Ulti- mately he was canned, in more ways than one, and soon he was bar tender of a place by the same name on the Bowery. Drinks were three cents a shot there. And they didn't furnish whiskbrooms in those days, either, says "Abe."
 "Abe" is now assistant to Rev John Callahan. "Bishop of the Bowery." He is doing a kind of work he suc- cumbed to, to become man again. His story will be broadcast from the mission at 3:30 D. m. tomorrow. Along with him will be heard Flor ence Mullholland. of Roxy's Gang; the Hackel Berge trio and the Gloria Trumpeters. Tom Noonan, who withstands the onslaughts of the needy like he does other kinds, will officiate in his own way. The stations cooperating are WMCA, and WDRC.

 The broadcast will be heard in the New York area over WIZ.
