fourth week here, the strike had drawn the attention of the Ameri- can people to the farmers plight more forcibly and dramatically than had any other action by the farmers.
 With the exception of a few isolated cases of increased milk prices-milk shipments of course were attacked first because all dis tributing depots as well as ultimate delivery points have reserves of most other farm products in cold storage-there ha sbeen no apprec- fable effect on prices. While there has been some slight falling off in deliveries of cattle and hogs at the Sioux City and Omaha markets, the prices for these products have scaled off rather than upward since the strike started.
 So, the question of what does the holiday actually amount to, a canvass of men in different walks of life out here-farmers, com- rnissioned men, editors and lawyers reveals no unaminity of opinion.
 The present course of the farm- CTS Is, therefore, described by some as in the nature of trial balloon" sent up to test the air currents. etc., to prepare the way for a big ger and broader effort later.
 Henry P. Wallace, editor of Wall laces' Farmer and Iowa Home stead, likened the present move- ment to the Boston Tea Party without economic importance in it's immediate result, but having pos- sible far-reaching significance.
 G. F. Bloss, dairyman and special agent for the holiday asso- ciation, told the United Press that, whatever the outcome of the cur rent holding movement, there has been awakening of both the public and congressional leaders to what must be done for agrar- ians.
 Leading commission men and stockyard officials interviewed in south Omaha during my visit there, expressed a general feeling of sym pathy with the plight of the farm CTS, were frankly (but declined to be quoted), opposed to the strike idea as the right means to the end desired, and said that the strike would dramatically serve to attract the attention fo people everywhere to the desperation of many.
 But, even the warmest and most sympathetic friends of the farmer and his present effort to bring his plight to the public eye through a dramatic gesture. say such move- ments, to be effective must be gen. eral. not isolated; highly organized and sustained. not disorganized and sporadic.
 When the highly organized move ment is achieved = and possibly even before. if the present action farmer leaders hope for tangible Is regarded as a straw in the wind benefits to the producers.

REPUBLICANS IN
 1. RETURN MAKING LIGHT ATTACK
Leaders Try to Discredit the Stinging Rebukes Administered to Hoover and Party on Prohibi. tiOn

Washington, August 29 - (UP) - The republican attack Of GOV" ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt's pro- hibijon speech at Seagirt, N. J., centered today on charges that the democratic presidential nominee, for political advantage, threw overheard" the moderate resubmis. sion plank he originally favored" at the Chicago party convention.
 Representative William E. Hull. republican, Illinois, in statement released through the Republican National Committee, declared that Roosevelt in his speech concealed the fact that the plank which he has endorsed 100 per cent was not the plank originally drawn" by Roosevelt spokesmen at the con- vention.
 In a statement released by the committee in New York. Senator George H. Noses, republican. New Hampshire, charged that Governor Roosevelt obtained the presid dential nomination through "the most palpable bargain in a generation"
 "Governor Roosevelt occupies four columns of newspaper space" said Noses" to develop the pre- cious thought that difficulty at- tends sacrificing principles for votes. He ought to know = even if he failed to point his moral and adorn his tale with some remi- niscences from the convention which nominated him by means Of the most palpable bargain in generation. Maybe MT McAdoo will supply the omission when he comments upon the Seagirt broad cast"
 Representative Beck, republi- can, Pennsylvania, said the speech "can be searched in vain for any constructive proposal. He simply advocates naked repeal leaving to the states the duty or necessity of defending themselves as best they can against the abuses of the liouor traffic."

Brilliant Concert-Maybe.

AN orchestral concert, with Toscanini
conducting and Yehudi Menuhin
as soloist, may be one Of the musical
events Of 1928 as a result of the
fast friendship that was built up be-
tween the great italian conductor and
the San Francisco "wunderkind' during
a recent Transatlantic voyage they
both made while vacation bound.
Yehudi Menuhin is at present Sum-
mering with has I rents and his
younger sisters at a villa near Paris,
but he will soon return to the United
States to begin q concert season that
will be limited to one recital a week
and which will bring him to Constitu-
ton Hall here as one of the attractions
of Mrs. Wilson Greene's Saturday eve
ming concert series at that auditorium
next season.
Ever since Toscanini first heard the
boy play a concert at Carnegie Hall in
New York the maestro has been one of
Yehudrs warm admirers, but the pres
sure of their musical work and the
yicissitudes of travel made their meet
ings very infrequent and brief Sew
eral weeks ago both Yehudl and Tosca-
mini found themselves passengers Eu-
rope bound on the lie de France and
at last they found an opportunity to
consolidate a friendship that had been
made under hasty circumstances.

Toscanini requested and heard the
Kreutzer Sonata. the seldomh heard Mo-
zart Seventh Concerto" and many
another classic, and for all he had
nothing but admiration and enjoyment.
On the last night at sea, when the

organization Is assured for several sea-
sons, Conductor Kinder will be able to
take his men on tour. thus bringing
fine music to those who seldom hear 1t.
Kinder apparently has a strong
streak of the missionary spirit IN him.
Not only has he played his cello In
the great capitals Of the world, but has
taken it to Java to play to Dutch colo
NAL planters and has toured, with Ethel
Leginska in series Of small town con-
certs in the Middle West
This Summer, in England he played
several concerts, one Of them Tor the
