MEXICO CITY. September s.
President Pascual Ortiz Rubio sent his
resignation to Congress today, bringing
turbulent political crisis to a head
after nearly three weeks of rumor and
uncertainty.
He disclosed his decision to his cabi-
net secretly at Chapultepec Castle late
yesterday, and the ministers also
stepped aside to give Congress and the
President to be selected a free hand.
The Presidents resignation was in
trusted to Gen. Juan Jose Rios, sec
retary of the interior, who announced
early today the document would be
handed to the thirty-fifth Congress at
its second session.
Served Two and One-H Half Years.
Ortiz Rubio stepped down little over
two and one-half years after he had
been inaugurated to serve the remain
ing four years of the late Alvaro Obre-
CONS six-year term.
Congress undoubtedly will consider
the resignation Immediately, and there
Is a possibility successor may be
chosen before nightfall today, although
several legal technicalities must be
Strengthened out before the post is
filled.
| Most prominently mentioned for the
office is Gen. Abelardo L. Rodriguez
minister Of war in Ortiz Rubio's cabi-
net, who came into prominence during
the Escobar revolution two years ago

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, September a.
The agricultural war is on again.
Despite the truce recently declared
by leaders of the farmers strike for
higher prices for their products, farm
pickets In this section renewed their
attempt to blockade the city. Gov. E. B.
Olson Of Minnesota gave aid to the
movement In general by urging farmers
of his State to withhold non-perishable
produce from the market until after
Midwest Governors meet in Sioux City
September 9.
The conference is designed to settle
the controversy between producers and
buyers over prices paid for agricultural
products.
Five Truckloads Arrive.
Pickets in this vicinity renewed their
blockade attempt following the arrival
yesterday of tive truckloads of live
stock, and announced they would keep
it up until the Governors conference is
held, continuing it indefinitely if no
farm relief program is formulated.
Meanwhile it was learned that farm
strike organizations have been perfected
in 40 OF Minnesota's 81 counties, but
1t was indicated by John Bosch of
Atwater, Mimi, president of the Min
nesota Farmers Holiday Association,
that a strike call would be withheld
pending the outcome Of the Governors
meeting.
Gov. Olson's suggestion for farmers
to withhold their -periShable prod
ucts was made last night at Duluth,
where he stopped en- route to Mime
apolis from Two Harbors, MINI. It
came in the form of a statement issued
following receipt Of a message from
Carlos w. GoltZ, attorney for the Wood
bury, Iowa, County Farmers Holiday
Association. Goltz asked for a guber-
material proclamation against the mar
keting of produce.
Sioux City Hit Hard.
Both merchants and stockyards men
in Sioux City were complaining that
the strike was having detrimental
effect on their business. The merchants
said their sales had been decreased, be-
cause of the reluctance of out-of-town
buyers to go through the lines CT strike
pickets along the highways. Many men
have been laid of in the packing plants,
the stockyards men reported, adding
that the strike was costing them thou
sands of dollars every day.
Although Milo Reno, president Of the
Farmers Holiday Association, recently
declared truce pending the Governors
conference, plans were under way to
extend the holiday movement. John
Chalmers, Iowa chairman of the Farm
ers' National Holiday Association. said
all Iowa county leaders would gather at
Des Moines September to formulate
plans for spreading the strike and to
outline proposals for submission to the
Governors conference.

Confident that opposition to ma

efforts to obtain action on such legisla-
ton at the coming session Of Congress.
big bankers, who fought passage Of
the Steagall bill last session gradually
are turning toward the legislation" !"
the Alabama Democrat said. They
realize more and more that the de-
positor demands that he be protected
and they equally appreciate that no
method used than guaranteed deposits
will meet the demand"
The House passed the Steagall bill
setting up an initial 100000 guar
anty fund, but considerable opposition
in the Senate prevented its consider
alton last session.
Sees Temporary Help.
Eventually we will have some form
of a national bank guaranty law"
Steagan said. THE Reconstruction
Finance Corporation is easing the situ-
alton by making loans to banks, but it
has a limit and this will be reached
within a few months. 1t is not the
fundamental solution to the problem.
although it has put out great number
of fires"
Steagalrs committee formulated the
Reconstruction Corporation measure
and the Alabaman led the fight in the
House for its enactment.
Steagall said that with about 1900
banks failing in the last year, the Fed
eral Government should be given closer
supervision of national institutions In
order to give protection to depositors
and to make banking more attractive
capital investment.
Banishes Objection.
"It is argued by some that the pro-
posed guaranty plan would require
well-managed banks to bear a portion
of the losses from mismanagement in
other banks" Steagall said. This
argument is too shallow and short
sighted to merit serious consideration.
There can be no separation of the in
terests of banks. Any disaster coming
upon one is a serious cause for the con-
cern of all"
Steagall said a guaranty deposit
board should be set up with authority
to remove officers and directors Of
banks whose continued service would
be detrimental to their institutions.
