Federal Prosecutor Guilty
of Betraying Public
Trust, Is CHARGE.

Custer of George r. Jeffrey as
federal district attorney is asked in
a letter sent to the federal attor-
ney-general by w. A. Mcclellan,
Muncie, one of the attorneys who
defended George r. Dale, Muncie
mayor, on federal liquor conspiracy
charges several months ago.
McClellan's charges thst Jeffrey
is mot worthy of holding an office
Of public trust" are based on JEFF
frey's questioning OF Thomas Dun
can, Muncie Negro, whose testimony
helped convict Dale.
The attorney alleges that special
dry agents induced Duncan to sign
a false statement duplicating Dale
and his co-defendants, then arrest
ed Duncan April on his own state
ment and held him in Jail until last
week when the grand jury failed to
indict him.
Jeffrey first saw Duncans state
ment after the trial when defense
attorneys We're about to question the
witness in order to obtain evidence
on which to base a new trial mo-
ton, Mcclellan said.
After reading the statement, he
added, Jeffrey's face turned red"
and he hurriedly left the room after
which Duncan was returned to Jail
by officers, without permitting de-
tense attorneys to question him or
see the statement.
The letter to the attorney general
was accompanied by copy of a let
ter sent to Jeffrey by Mcclellan, ex-
planning the charges.
The latter letter charges that
when Jeffrey learned he had been
misled about Duncan's statement,
he failed to be fair and honest"
and to correct the injustice" done
Dale and his co-defendants.
Dale is at liberty on bond pend
ing appeal.

TINE farm strike, Reno declares,
Il is not resulting in the waste
Of any food, and is not operating
to cause any hardship to unem-
ployed people in the cities.
Such perishable goods as milk,
eggs and the like which are being
held off the market are being dis
tributed free to the poor in the
corn belt cities.
Garden truck, including such
fresh vegetables, does not come
under the provisions of the block
ade. Livestock and other pro-
duce that is being held back can
wait for a better market without
wastage.
Reno insists that the farm
strike is not the sudden outgrowth
of unexpected adversely Instead,
he says, it stems back through
more than a decade of agricul-
tural distress and disappointment.
Every promise made to agricul-
ture in the last twelve years re-
mains unfulfilled" he asserts. Sew
enty-fve per cent of the farm
values have been destroyed by and

lords.

i City, Reno. showed a good
deal of strategic ability.
Sioux City already had milk
war before the farm strike be-
gan. The milk producers were
getting approximately dollar a
hundredweight for their milk, and
they said that twice that sum
would be no more than fair
price.
A boycott on the Sioux City
market was established, and Reno
Immediately leaped into action
and coupled the general farm
strike to it.
The milk strike was immensely
popular among farmers in the
Sioux City territory, and thus the
general farm strike got an i'm
petus that it would not otherwise
have received.
And once it got started, the
idea took hold, SO that the farm
strike as whole overshadowed
the milk strike. Now the farm

CIOUX CITY, Ia, Aug. %
~ Along the trunk highways
leading into this busy agricultural
market there lounge groups of
men in blue denim-husky, pur-
poseful, deeply tanned men who
tilt soiled felt hats over their eyes
when the sun is high and swing
their brawny arms indolently as
they saunter from one cluster Of
shade trees to another.
They are the men in the front
line trenches of Iowas famous
farmers strike"-the men who
have enforced an almost complete
stoppage Of the movement of farm
produce to the market in the hope
OF lifting the corn belt out of the
depression.
They are good-natured, but they
mean business. Every truck that
approaches gets stopped. Big
telephone poles and heavy planks
with long spikes set at two-inch
intervals are ready ito be tossed
out on the pavement in front of
any car that will not stop.
When truck is stopped, the
men look in it to see if it contains
any farm produce. If it does not,
it is allowed to proceed. If it
does, it goes back where it came
from.
When no trucks are coming the
men lounge about, talk, smoke,
make jokes.
One young giant amuses him
self by cracking a twenty-foot
blacksnake whip so that it makes
a report like a pistol. When an
outsider appears among them,
they become suddenly silent.
To find out why they are there
you should not ask them. Instead
you should go about among the
farms outside of Sioux City
There, talking to the men who
are going broke tilling what is
some Of the finest farming soil in
America, you get an understand
ing of the driving force back Of
this strike.
FARMERS of the corn belt are
Il in the strike to stick to the
finish, declares Milo Reno, the
fiery, energetic president of the
National Farmers Holiday Asso-
citation and stormy petrol of the
Iowa corn belt for more than a
decade For ten years he was
president of the Iowa Farmers
Union.
Reno who organized the farm
strike, travelling hundreds of miles
and addressing countless mass
meetings to bring militant groups
Of farmers into activity, declares
bluntly:
I'VE propose to fix price for
farm products upon the American
standard of living, and we insist
that the farmer refuse to deliver
for less.
Values must and will be deter
mined by the labor required to
produce, instead of by manipu-
lated and f1uctuating dollar.
I'VE propose to stop the confis-
cation of our farm homes by
criminal deflation. We propose
to save our farm homes for our
boys and girls instead of forcing
them in to the industrial areas to
swell the army of unemployed.

Won PAPEN FOR
ONE-YEAR PLAN
FOR RECOVERY
German Chancellor Flags
Hitler as Unified for
leadership
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. 29.-The republic
Of Germany, seething with political
strife. entered a critical week today
with the government of Franz Won
Papen urging "one-year plan for
economic recovery" which it hoped
would help it rule Germany against
all opposition.
The chancellor struck out unex-
pectedly Sunday at Adolph Hitler
and his strong Fascist party, de-
claring that the mustached little
Nazi chieftsin is "ill-f1tted for lead
ership of the state"
Won Papen, speaking before a
group of Westphalian farmers in
the town hall of MuenSter with his
words broadcast, denounced Hitler's
attitude toward the recent death
penalties imposed on five of his
storm troopers, convicted of political
terrorism, as nothing short OF
'licentious."
Today there was no doubt that
when the new reichstag convenes
Tuesday, it will be dissolved by
presidential decree the moment a
hostile movement toward the gov
eminent is made.
1t Is certain that the reichstag
will attempt to sweep Won Papen
from power with a vote of mis-
confidence.
A dissolved reichstag means at
least three more months of power
for the Won Papen cabinet.
Chancellor Won Papen, in repre-
senting his program for economic
recovery, made it clear that his
government, by instituting vigor-
Gus campaign for rehabilitation, ex-
poets the German people to main
tain his cabinet in power.
Private capitalism. he said, is
better than any other economic
system and will be supported and
encouraged by the government

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The
farmers strike in the west can be
stopped if the federal government
will take the steps necessary to keep
farm SURPRISES off the market, in
the opinion Of Senator Elmer
Thomas Dem, Okla).
IF this years crops can COM

Thomas, prices will rise and the
farmers will call off their strike"

yet, but we know where it's all
leading to.
The farmers are fearless be-
cause they know they have moth
ing to lose. They can't go on as
they are any longer.
Often nowadays farm doesn't
produce enough of an income to
pay the taxes. And the meaning
of what's being done now may be
more far-reaching than any one
can see at the present time.
"THIS strike may not have
Il much immediate effect on
the market price of farm produce.
I hope it will, but we can't be
sure.
But I do know enough about
economics to know that there
are only two ways to raise the
price of any given commodity.
You either must increase the
amount of money in circulation
or decrease the amount of that
commodity that reaches the mar
ket.
There has been no apparent
reason to increase the amount of
money. Anyway, it's deep-seated
thing to change the monetary sys-
tenn, and it can't be done in
short time. So we're trying the
other way.
Who's at the head of this
movement? No one. Go to any
of these picket lines and ask who's
in charge and you'll find out.
There's no head - because
everybody feels exactly the same
way about it, Everybody's think
ing the same thing.
And don't think those boys out
on the picket lines aren't in earn
est. They are. Look at them
and see if you can find one who
hasn't got forearm too thick to
grasp with your thumb and fng-
ers
These boys are used to pitch
ing hay, and they haven't got
their muscles for nothing"
