Confer on Plan to
Help Corn Growers

Chicago, Oct 29-(F-Represent-
atives from every leading corn pro-
ducing state conferred Wednesday
on a proposal to establish loan fund
for farmers who wish to hold their
crops for higher prices.
The conference was held In secret.
Earl Smith, president of the Illinois
Agricultural association, said he had
nothing to disclose for the present.
It was learned, however, the plan
under contemplation was for an or
ganization of q credit corporation
capitalized at $l,O00,000. This cap
ital could be pyramided from five to
ten times, depending on security
markets. The money would be lent
to farmers who established the fact
they intend to hold their corn not
more than 10 months for marketing
purposes only.
The state agricultural department
Of any such state as would become q
party in the corporation would issue
warehouse receipts on crops SO in
spected and sealed. These the farm
ers would use as collateral at the
credit corporation. The corporation,
in turn, could rediscount the paper
through the federal intermediate
credit bank in st. Louis.

BOY SLAYER FACES
LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Lad of ~ Convicted OF Killing
Aged Marshal During
Grocery HoIdup

Asotin, Wash, Oct. 29.-F1-Con-
victed of murder, 12-year-old Hubert
Niccolls, Jr.. faced life Imprisonment
in the penitentiary Thursday with a
degree of happiness.
Smiling on the jury that Wednes-
day took two ballots to find him
guilty of shooting Sheriff John
Wormell, 70, during grocery rob-
berry August S, the fran 60-pound
schoolboy said:
well, I'm glad It's over, and I'm
happy they didn't send me to an in
sane asylum, for even smart men go
nuts in a mad house.
Superior Judge E. v. Kuykendall
ordered the boy returned to the court
room Thursday to hear the life SEN
tence pronounced. It was made
mandatory by the verdict.
At the outset, Hubert's attorneys
admitted he shot the officer, leaving
the jury to decide only whether he
had been mentally responsible, and
If so, whether he should be hanged
or imprisoned for life.
The defense reenacted scenes from
Hubert's brief life, emphasizing un-
happiness at home, where his par
ents, one of them insane, quarreled
frequently.
Clarence E. Long, superintendent
of the state prison at Walla Walla
WASH, said the boy would be the
youngest convict ever to enter the
prison.

Hindenburg Appeals
For Union in Nation

Berlin, Oct. 29.-(P)-For the third
time since he became head Of the Re-
public President Won Hindenburg de-
parted from his customary reserve
Thursday to address in earnest, al
most fatherly. appeal to the new econ
omic advisory council at the opening
of its first session.
His plea for a domestic truce and
q common effort to overcome Ger
many's disastrous economic situation
was compared by some Of those who
heard him to his famous war guilt
speech on his 80th birthday In 1927
and to his speech in March last year
explaining why he signed the Young
plan laws.
Help from abroad, he told the coun-
Gil, must be predicated upon the un-
ion of divergent factions at home, and
Germany's situation must be deter
mined largely by political and econ
omic considerations in the rest Of the
world.

THREE GOVERNORS
TO Be NAMED soon
Voters in Mississippi, Kentucky
and New Jersey to Name
Executives
(Bv The Associated Press)

Three states Mississippi, Ken
lucky and New Jersey-will elect gov
ernors at next Tuesdays off-year
elections.
In Mississippi, where Democratic
nomination Is equivalent to election,
the voting will be hardly more than
a formality. Mike Conner Is the
Democratic nominee. He is to take
office January /.
The campaign In Kentucky has
been confined for the most part to
the administration of the state high
way department. Ruby Laffoon,
circuit judge, is the Democratic can
didate. He favors the present parti-
san arrangement Of the highway
commission. Mayor william Harrison
Of Louisville. heading the Republican
ticket, would return the board to its
former bipartisan setup.
New Jerseys contest has been the
warmest Of the three by far. In that
state the governorship Is sought by
David Baird, Jr.. Republican. and
Harry Moore, Democrat. Each has
campaigned with vigor for several
weeks, the issues being numerous but
with no particular national signific-
ance.

contest in the fieldhouse Saturday
night celebrating homecoming, ap-
parently was shelved for good Thurs

ACCUSE HOOVER OF
ABYSMAL IGNORANCE
Navy League Says President
Shows No knowledge Of
Country's Needs

Washington, Oct. 29.-(P)-Charges
of "abysmal Ignorance" on the part
of President Hoover and subordina-
ton Of American sea forces to those
Of other powers form the spearhead
Of the navy leagues latest attack on
the administrations naval policies.
Renewing its opposition to the pro-
posed world armament building holi-
day, the league also revives the ghost
Of an old controversy between the
chief executive and the senate.
It suggests that secret agreements
with Prime Minister Macdonald of
Great Britain caused the administra-
tion's refusal to transmit to the SEN
ate foreign relations committee the
full record of its negotiations and
possible commitments preparatory to
the London naval conference of 1880.
The league is representative of
much of the American sentiment for
increased American naval armaments.
In its printed publication, issued over
the signature OF William Howard
Gardiner, president, 1t describes it.
self as IAN organization of civilians
that for over a quarter of century
has specialized on accurate informa-
ton as to naval matters"
The proposal Of President Hoover
to immunize sea-borne food during
war brought the accusation that he
had exhibited "abysmal ignorance Of
why navies are maintained and of
how they are used to accomplish their
major mission" This proposal, the
league adds, seems to come from the
inveterate misconception OF the mis-
sion of naval power both In peace
and war;
Acceptance of his suggestion would
have worked not only dramatically
counter to the interests and weight
of the United States in world af-
fairs" the pamphlet contends, but,
in effect. would have made for bigger
and bloodier wars, and yet such is
the psychology that is not only con-
trolling our internal naval policy but
Is debating its external subordination
to those of foreign naval powers"
