PROBLEM OF CROPS
SUBJECT IN FORUM
Senator Ellison D. Smith to
Deliver Radio Address From
WMAL Tonight.

The problem of crop planting and its
limitations. so as TO absorb the surplus
left over from last year and so as to
prevent a Cutting of the market, will
be discussed by Senator Ellison D.
Smith Of South Carolina in the Ma
tional Radio Forum arranged by The
Washington Star and broadcast over
the coast to coast network of the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System tonight at
$50 O'Clock. 1t will be heard locally
through Station WNAL.
Senator Smith, a member of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture. has
long been q student of the problems
confronting the cotton and grain farm
ers Of the Country. He has worked out
a plan which he believes will make it
possible to curtail the planting Of crops
this year Of which there was a surplus
last year. He proposes that the Federal
Farm Board, whi8h in the case of
wheat, has already purchased millions
OF bushels, be empowered to sell to the
farmers wheat or cotton, as the case
may be, which they would otherwise
plant this year, at the market price
now prevailing. These farmers instead
of producing wheat or cotton would
merely hold what they have purchased
from the Farm Board for a raise in
price. In this way, Senator Smith
holds, crop production during the pres
ent year would be materially curtailed,
last years surplus would be absorbed
and prices oa cotton and other aRri-
cultural products would advance.
The South Carolina Senator is con-
WINGED that no other plan seeking to
limit crop production will be affected.

Rover, Answering Bean, De-

Them to Be Dismissed.

Police Court Judge Ralph Given, who
holds the key to the solution of the
present controversy between the Police
Department and the United States at
torney's office over responsibility for
the recent dismissal of six so-called
"clean-cut" gambling cases. declined
today to make any statement for pub
LEGATION. He took the position that the
question was not one for public debate.
Il don't feel that care to make any
statement at this time" said Judge
Given. II don't think anything would
be gained by what might say
In the meantime United States At
torney Leo A. Rover said the dispute
was at an end as far as he was con-
cerned. He issued fiat denial, how
ever. to the statements contained in a
report of Police Inspector Thaddeus
Bean to the effect that the gambling
cases were dropped at the insistence of
John r. Fitzpatrick, his assistant in
Police Court.
Rover also denied he is planning any
shifts in the assignment of his assist
ants. John j. Wilson, who was ap-
pointed today an assistant United States
attorney, to succeed r. F. Camalier,
Rover said, would be assigned to duties
in his ONCE.
In defense Of Fitzpatrick. Rover de-
clared that at no time had he asked
that the gambling cases be dismissed
The cases, he said, were dropped by
Judge Given of his own volition be-
cause the police officers involved were
not in court to testify.
Rover conferred with Fitzpatrick be-

AID FOR UNFORTUNATE URGED {
BY OPTIMIST CLUB PRESIDENT
Williams Praises Community
Chest as Worthy of D. c.
Citizens Support.
Holds Present Need of Aid
Great and Stresses
"0bIigation."
BY WASH b. WILLIAMS.
President, Optimist Club.

At this season Of the year, which is
so imbued with the thought OF sacrifice
and giving, it seems that we would do
well to try and follow, in our small way,
the great example set down for us
nearly two thousand years ago.
Those of us who re provided for are
given the opportunity, through the
Community Chest, to express gratitude
for. our many blessings by contributing
towards the support of those less for
tunate than ourselves.
Chest Is Worthy.
The Community Chest is not only to
be praised for its wonderful accom-
plishmentS, but should receive the
financial support of every citizen who
is able to contribute.
In this day and age there are many
ways of helping the less fortunate and
the Community Chest was primarily
formed to collect and distribute aid
where the need is most apparent. With
out such orgs utzation the proper allot-
ment could not be competently ar
ranged.
If all persons could only realize that
their help in q financial way would re-
heVe, at least in part, the Sufferings of
some one. I am sure that their hearts
would respond joyously.
Need Now Greater.
This year the need of funds is more
necessary than heretofore and hope
the people of this city will permit our
representative, the Community Chest,
to receive the needed amount long be-
fore the time designated for the close
of its campaign.
The personnel of the Community
Chest Is selected from the most promi-
nent social circles in our city, and the
fact that the workers have so thorough
ly demonstrated their ability to cope
with the situation in the past warrants
our continued confidence.
I'VE are all vitality interested in IL
welfare Of our needy, and knowt1 :.
what Ia necessary to provide for their
care, we are obliged to help. 1 hope
every person who Is able viii see ut to
respond.

UPWARD TREND SEEN
FOR 81 CONSTRUCTION
Head of Fuller Company Says Gen

Reached Bottom.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 31.-A very
fair business year for the construction
industry in 1881 was the forecast made
today by Lou r. Crandall, president Of
the George A. Fuller Construction Co.
THE final months Of 1880 tended to
substantiate the feeling that the gen.
era1 building curve had reached bottom
and, subject to seasonal adjustments,
will continue in lateral movement
preliminary to an upward trend" he
said.
There is reason to hope that this
upturn generally may be evident within
the first six months; there is even
stronger reason to believe that within
a year sharp upturn toward true
normal will manifest ITSELF"
The Fuller Co. last year completed
$50, 135, $50 In construction work, bet
tering 1929 by $4,000, 900, he said, with
December the best month in the COM
pany's history for the total value of
work done. New construction con-
tracted for the first quarter of 1881
amounts to $21 ,949 ,958.

SAN FRANCISCO. January 3I.-An-
other migration of the restless Dukho-
bors Russian religious sect, is being ar

landowner Of Chihuahua, Mexico, said
here today.
Russek said he was on his way to

occupy would total $12,000,0 900.
The pukhobors, driven out of Rus
STA, migrated to Canada and many of
them since have gone on other sporadic
pngrimages, normally returning to the
prairie provinces. Many of them have
had frequent brushes with Canadian
authorities over the school laws and q
radical wing has been in difnculty be-
cause of its custom of nudity.
Promises of more freedom and no
governmental interference, the Mexican
banker said, have led them to prepare
to move to Mexico. He said they would
be assigned 100000 acres in Chihuahua

used to move them.
