WIND BREAK AND SHELTER
BELT PLANTING PLOTS

The wind break and shelter
planting planned for the Finley
community was planted last Sat-
rday afternoon and Sunday fore
noon on the farm occupied by E..
M. Alyward. just east of the Fin
ley school. The Planting was done
by Mr.. Svendby, assistant in for
estry, and Mr.. Hopkins, senior IN
the forestry department, at the
college extension service and Mr..
Alyward.
The planting as eventually put
in includes a row of Siberian Pea
tree next to the property line and
a row of Norway Spruce on the
south. The planting here was cut
down to two rows because of the
short length of run on this partic-
ular piece which would have left
top small piece to cultivate had
the full width of theplanting been
put in. The planting on the west
includes first a row of Siberian
Pea tree, planted A feet apart,
then row of Russian Olive plant
ed 8 feet apart, Tor 10 feet from
the outer row. The middle was
finally planted to Black Locust
because of the greater rapidity Of
growth and being in the center Of
the windbreak will not interfere
seriously with crops. The two
inside rows were planted respect
lively to Douglas Fir and Norway
Spruce.
The entire cost on the wind
break planting on the basis of
trees laid down at Kennewick, ex-
press paid would have been $23.
On top of this would have been
the cost of planting. Five hundred
sixty-six trees were used in the
wil1dbreak. The cost could have
been cut materially had younger
evergreens been purchased, and
these grown out 2 or 8 years in
the garden before being planted
in the windbreak planting, as it
was s years old spruce and fir
were used.
Many will undoubtedly feel that
giving three-fourths of an acre
outof each 10 is entirely too much
for planting of this kind but when
one considers that this can be
used for pasture area after the
planting has become started, that
it becomes a retreat on hot days
for livestock and that portion Of
it near the house may be given
special attention as grove for
recreation for the family. We
believe that this is an excellent
way to utilize part Of the farm.
Any one interested in shelter belt
planting may confer with the
county agent on plans for making
the planting.

Under present plans, the hear
ingS on the wines and beer bill
will last one week, with prospects
for a vote in the House on a
measure before. Christmas.
The Democratic House leaders
went steadily forward with their
plan to modify the Volstead act,
despite the fact that the Garner
prohibition repeal resolution
failed in the House yesterday by
six votes. The resolution COM
manded 272 votes to 144 against,
but this was just minus the neceS'
Sary two-thirds majority vote.
Veto Is Expected
The House vote was regarded
as significant in view Of the gen.
eral belief that President Hoover
will veto a beer bill. 1t is ques,
tionable whether the House could
pass q bill over his veto.
If prohibition legislation fails,
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt is
expected to call an extra session
after he is inaugurated March 4.
The Collier bill provides:
Beer, lager beer, ale, porter
and similar fermented liquors
containing not over 2.75 per cent
alcohol by weight (Which is about
$50 per cent by volume) IS le-
galized as Misunderstanding. :,
The tax is fixed at SIS a barrel

On leaving, he declared:
"WelI, he took the petition
but IL will go right in the waste
basket.
Previously Levinson had gone
to the office of the Speaker to
ascertain if the marchers would
be given an audience.
What's the Difference?'
Garner replied:
"Sure, that will be all right

Levinson bristled and answered:
my name is not Levinsky,
it's LevinSOn."
The Speaker replied:
Whats the difference"
When Major Brown stopped the
column at the entrance to the
Capitol grounds he said:
This is as far as you CO."
Benjamin protested the right
of the entire group to enter the
Capitol grounds, but the police
chief was adamant, replying:
It's our duty to see that you
do not. You may send a COM
mite, that's ALL"
Benjamin looked over the
massed cordons of police and as
sented OF the committee proposal.
For Shipping Board
Upon his return from the
Speakers office he held whis-
pered conference with other lead
ers and then told Major Brown:
1--WE would like to select a
committee to send over, to the
Shipping Board on Behalf of
unemployed seamen and marine
workers"
Brown replied:
"Sure, pick them out"
Benjamin turned away, but
soon was back to say:
'WiII you dteail . policeman

of the Eighteenth Amendment.
A tax of 90 cents a gallon is
placed on wine.
Revenue of $30O,0OO,0OO
Collier said he estimated an
annual revenue of $500, ,000, 900
from beer. He said:
1--WE want the tax at the
point where 1t will provide the
greatest revenue and we want
the bill to be within cOnStitu-
tienal limits.
Il have fixed the percent
age at 2.75 per cent tenta-
lively. This may change as
the result of evidence pro-
duced at hearings"
House wet bloc" leaders gen.
orally insist that the percentage
shall be at least 800 per cent by
weight, or about 4 per cent by
volume. This, they say, would be
less than most pre-prohibition
beers.
Certain of Passage
Democratic House leaders say
that the vote on the Garner
resolution makes certain the
passage of beer bill in the
House.
Representative Cullen CD of
New York, Tammany leader, an
nounced he would seek an alco-
holic content of at least 4 per
cent.
Both vets and drys will be
given their innings before the
Ways and Means Committee in
the hearing, Collier said.
Special Session Seen.
A special session of the new
Seventy-third Congress after
March 4 to deal with prohibition
appeared inevitable today as a
result of the failure of the House
to adopt the Garner repeal sub,
mission resolution.
Democratic leaders generally
predicted that Gov. Franklin D,

session call after his inauguration

For more than two hours police
lines had drawn closer as the
tension in the air grew more
noticeable. The marchers, headed
by their band. clad in the gray
uniforms of the Soviet, blared
the "Internationale" and other
Communist rallying airs.
Suddenly the column began to
move. Before them was a Gordon
of bluecoats, shoulder-to-shoulder
and five deep. On the bank
above, the gas squad stood ready
with gas rifles and bombs,

marched to the other end of the

army has been imprisoned since
Sunday.
At the northern boundary Of
their territory the marcherS met
another police Gordon and did an.
other quick turn, resolving the
entire army into a milling mass of
marcherS.
Several times the column
marched around, waving their
banners and cheering. Now and
then a chorus Of "booS" was di-
rected at the police lines. Finally
the hunger group massed in the

VOTE ON REPEAL
D|SAPPO|NTS
ROOSEVELT
But Extra Session Hinges on
Farm Relief, Not Beer;
In D. c. Tomorrow

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Dec. 6
U.N.SO - President-elect Roose-
velt starts north today pretty
we'll convinced he will be forced
to call Congress into special Ses-
sion next spring if relief is to
be provided for the farmer and
beer is to be legalized.
He feels that defeat by the
House of the Democratic resolu-
ton submitting repeal Of the pro
hibition amendment to the States
has dimmed the prospect OF haV-
ing the Volstead law modified at
the lame duck" session.
Not Much Surprised
While Governor Roosevelt re-
fused to comment on the House
action, his advisers indicated he
was disappointed but not entirely
surprised.
The President-elect would like
to avoid a special session. He
would hesitate to summon Con-
gress into session simply to deal
with the prohibition question,
close friends indicated.
But he regards farm relief as
the cornerstone for the restora-
ton Of prosperity and he is deter
mined his agricultural program
must be enacted, even though it
involves a special session.
Virtually all the congressional
leaders who have conferred here
with Mr.. Roosevelt during the
last two weeks have expressed
doubt that any of the more i'm
portant farm relief measures will
be enacted at the short session.
Governor Roosevelt was faced
with a busy last day. Senator
Tom Bratton CD of New Mexico
was to stop off here on his way
to Washington.
A delegation representing the
Young Democrats of America,
now holding their annual conven-
tton at Atlanta, was scheduled to
discuss plans with the President
elect for attracting young voters
into the Democratic party.
Nearly every minute of the
governors time since his arrival
here Thanksgiving Day has been
taken UP ny conferences with
party leaders.
He has made it a point, how
ever, to take his daily swim and
exercises in the patients pool at
the Warm Springs Foundation,
which he established for the treat.
ment of infantile paralysis.
Here Tomorrow
The governor will leave here at
5 p. m. by special train. He will
arrive in Washington at 1870 to-
morrow afternoon. There he will
be joined by James A. Farley
Democratic national chairman
He is scheduled to reach Jersey
City at $50 tomorrow night.
The governor will spend Wednes,
day night at his New York home
IN conference with Lieut.. Gov,
Herbert H. Lehman on the special
session of the New York legis.
lature called for Friday to help
New York city out of its financial
difficulty.
Thursday morning he will leave
New York for Albany to draft his
message to the special session.

BrOwn Gives Lone Escort to Delegation
To Take Petition to u. S. Shipping Board

Only one Capitol policeman
accompanied each of the delega,
tions across the Capitol grounds.
Major Brown explained that that
had been decided upon so that
the marchers could not say they
had been kept under armed
guard while seeking their Consti-
tutional rights at the Capitol.
After leaving the Capitol the
column still under heavy police
guard moved along Constitution
Avenue and thence west on Penn
Sylvania Avenue. At Thirteenth
Street, the column was turned
north on Thirteenth Street and
herded to M Street, to New York
Avenue and on back to camp.
1t was at the Capitol and at the
Pennsylvania Avenue and Thir-
teenth Street turn that police ex-
pected trouble, but none devel-
oped.
All through the route the long
column, strung out for more than

the National Committee of Unem-
ployed Councils. Both made
cauStic references to President
Hoover and President-elect Roose-
welt, whose names were greeted
with chorus Of "boos" from the
marchers.
Benjamin urged his followers
to bend their efforts, after leav-
ing Washington, to organizing
another hunger march, larger
than the present one. He prom
ised. the marchers they would be
remembered as martyrs if they
should be killed in a clash with
police and shouted:
Tomorrow we are going to
go to that Capitol and do our
damndeSt to show them they
can't treat workers like this!"
AS he spoke he pointed toward
the dome of the Capitol, plainly
visible from the bivouac.
Speeches All Day
For the most part yesterday
was quiet day. The marcherS
gathered in little groups to talk,
cheer, boo the police or listen to
seemingly endless speeches Of
their leaders. All day orators
harangued groups of the army.
When ones voice failed another
took his place.
Police continued their search
through the group for John Pace,
Detroit leader of the Com
munistic "left wing" of the B. E.
F., but he did not show up. Au-
thorltleS are positive he is in the
group, however.

A chorus of coughing almost
drowned out the speakers voices
during the mass meeting last
night. Local health authorities
are keeping close watch, fearing
an epidemic of influenza may
sweep the ranks.

FARMERS HERE
ASKING RELIEF

Farmers, 800 or more, mostly
from the Middle West, are ex-
pected in Washington today to de-
mand relief from Congress. Al
ready 60 of the group are in town,
and tomorrow morning the Farm
ers' National Relief Conference
will meet here to work out a pro-
gram for Congress and the PreSi-
dent.
The police did not molest the
early arrivals, and are apparently
not concerned about the latest
march" to the Capital.
Tomorrow'S meeting will be
held in Typographical Union Hall.
The delegates are being quartered
at the tourist camp. They told
almost unbelievable stories of
what is happening on the West
ern farms.
A spokesman said:
I'VE aren't going to depend
on professional lobbyists this
time. We have listened to
promises long enough"

FURLOUGH SEEN
To GIVE WAY
TOPAY GUT
Sen. Byrnes Favors General
Reduction As Simpler
and More Effective

President Hoover's demands for
an additional II per cent cut indi-
cate his dissatisfaction with the
effectiveness of the furlough and
may lend impetus to a move to
consign that plan to the waste
basket, Senator James F. ByrneS
CD of South Carolina, a member
of the Senate Economy Commit,
tee, declared today.
ByrneS pointed out that because
of conditions, the Senate Economy
Committee has indicated it was
willing to continue the furlough
another year, but that the de-
mandS of the President put an
other aspect on the situation.
If Federal salaries are to be
cut, Byrnes said, they should be
reduced by one general reduction
and not by such combination as
is advocated by the President.
Too Complicated
Byrnes said it would be a
much simpler and more effective
plan to deduct 10 per cent from
all Government pay checks, in
cluding pensions and veterans
compensation.
Senator Kenneth D. Mcclellan
(DD of Tennessee, member of
the Senate economy committee,
commenting on the Presidents
proposal, said:
81 have never been in favor of
the furlOugh plan, as / believe
that it is cumbersome and hard
to regulate. I believe that flat
cut, which would be fair to
every one, should be substituted
In such a way as to make the
five-day week effective"
SHOCK TO WORKERS
Senator Hiram Bingham (R0
of Connecticut, chairman Of the
committee, would not comment on
the Presidents plan other than to
say:
'It is assured that the COM
mittee will study the Presidents
proposal. 1t is very interesting
to me, but I feel that it comes
as a great shock to Federal en-
plOyeS, whose representatives
have been appearing before the
Senate economy committee re-
GENTLY to advocate repeal of the
economy act"
