.RA|NEY. INVITES
FARM CHIEFS
TOPARLEY
Organizers and Editors to
Help Democrats Plan
Relief Measures

Leaders of farm organizations
and editors of many farm papers
today were invited by Representa-
tive Rainey, of Illinois, Democratic
leader of the House, to come here
to help devise a Democratic farm
relief program.
The conference is designated to
carry out the pledge made by
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt in his
Topeka speech, in which he said
farm organization leaders would
be consulted in the framing OF
legislation.
Allotment Plan Revived
The Rainey- -Norbeck domestic
allotment plan-which passed the
Senate last year-will be made
the basis of the new proposal,
which is designed to raise prices
on the basic farm commodities.
The House will be represented
in the conferences by Rainey,
Jones cd of Texas, chairman Of
the Agricultural Committee, and
other members of that body.
Among those expected here
next week are Edward ONeal.
head of the American Farm
Bureau Federation; Earl Smith,
Illinois Agricultural Association;
John A. Simpson, Farmers
Union; Chester Gray, legislative
representative of the Farm Bu-
reau; Fred Brenckma--, legiSla-
tive representative Of the Ma
tional Grange; and Henry A.
Wallace. Iowa farm editor.
The Rainey-Norbeck plan pro
vides for the levying of q tax
upon sales of wheat, corn, hogs.
and cotton at the elevators and
processing houses.
Money Goes to Farmers
The money derived from the
tax would be distributed among
farmers only on the amount of
the product they would normally
raise and, would normally be con.
sumed in the domestic market.
The farmer would be allotted a
certain production to be bene.
fitted by the plan. The rest of
his crop. would be sold at world
prices.
Two long-advocated measures
of farm relief-the equalization
fee and the export debenture
plan-may be scrapped because
farm experts believe they we're
disapproved when Mr.. Roosevelt
laid down his basic principle of
farm relief.

5 SCHOOLS GIVE
ENGL|SHFLAGS

Now that the George Washing
ton Bicentennial is officially
closed, the District public schools
have finally acceded to the long
standing request Of the children
of Washington, Durham county,
England, for an international OBJ
servance.
Today, some six months after
William F. Doty, American consul
at NewcaStle-on-Tyne, England. re-
quested, on behalf of the children
of England's village of Washing
ton, to exchange flags with the
school children here in observance
of the Bicentennial, flags were
sent by school officials to the
State Department and with them
a message of good will.
These bannerS-made of silk
are to be forwarded by the depart
ment to. Washington. England.
The schools participating are the
Elizabeth B. Brown, Takoma,

low and Thomas P. Morgan.

YULE BEER BILL
SURE To PASS,
SAYS GARNER
House Action "Before Xmas
Holidays Begin" Is Forecast
of Vice PreSident-EIeCt

Speaker John N. Garner today
said the beer bill will be passed
by the House before the Christ
mas holidays.
The Speaker made that state
ment after it was learned that
House leaders are having a non
partisan skeleton beer bill drafted
by the legislative draft service,
so it may be ready for hearings
before the Ways and Means Com
mittee December 7.
"Kick" Left Blank
1t was said that the alcoholic
content of the proposed beer and
the rate of taxation are being
left blank in the bill being
drafted. These two features will
be determined at the hearings,
and the bill will be introduced
in the House early in the first
days of the lame duck" session.
The leaders explained that the
percentage of alcoholic content
will be such as not to conflict
with the Constitution, and the
Ways and Means Committee will
endeavor to fix rate of taxa
ton that will bring the largest
amount of revenue and at the
same time discourage the boot
leggerS.
Speaker Garner said he is of
the opinion that three days will
be necessary for the hearing. He
thinks the bill will be acted on
in the House after two days of
debate.
Many Bills Likely
He explained that the measure
can be acted on under a spe-
cial rule or, on the other hand,
if check shows that tWo-thirdS
of the House members favor it
they might proceed under a Sus-
pension of the rules.
In response to a direct ques-
ton as to whether he thought
the bill would be passed by the
House before January /, Mr..
Garner said:
II can see no reason TO doubt
such a probability. Further
more, as the Christmas holidays
will extend over until January
1, 1 believe it will be passed
before the Christmas holidays
begin"
The Speaker said he has no
doubt either that there will be a
flood of beer bills introduced at
the opening of the session on
December 5.

President-EIeCt Hopes for
Progressive Short Session;
SiIent7on Problems

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov.
IS QN.SJ.-Laying aside politics
and Presidential worries for the
time being, Franklin D. Roose-
velt settled back in the seclusion
Of his Little White House" on
the rim Of Pine Mountain today
for q quiet weekend.
Next week the President-elect
will begin a series of conferences
with Congressional leaders and
southern Democratic chiefs, but
until Tthen he will spend all his
time resting and catching up with
his personal correspondence.
Silent on Problems
The war debt problem and
other questions which are per-
picking official Washington in
connection with the forthcoming
session of Congress have been
Shunted5 into the background by
Mr.. Roosevelt for the present.
He may read about these prob
lens in the newspapers but he
made it plain he is not going to
talk about them-at least not
before next week.
The President-elect refused to
discuss reports that he had map
ped plans with Democratic Con-
gressional leaders which he hopes
will result in the enactment OF
farm relief legislation at the lame
duck session.
Garner, Spokesman
Speaker John N. Garner, Vice
President-elect, will be the Spokes-
man for Mr.. Roosevelt at the
Capitol during the short session,
it was learned today from sources
close to the President-elect. They
will keep in close contact with
each other by telephone during
the forthcoming short session.
Governor Roosevelt has made
up his mind that his duties as
President during the next four
years will not prevent his COM
ing here for Thanksgiving dinner
with the inmates Of the founda- \
ton which he established for the
treatment of infantile paralysis.
Dated for Four Years
He said last night:
Z t"I have been looking up
dates and I find that almost
never does Congress meet at
the end Of November. That
means I have q definite date
to come back here every No
yember for the next four years,
and also in the spring. if the
legislative branch of the Gov
ernment will let me-"
Governor Roosevelt is an idol
here to the rs men. women ana
children who are at the Warm
Springs Foundation fighting tc
regain their health just as he
did 10 years ago when stricken
with infantile paralysis. He said
1--WE have learned lots Of
things here. We have got the
determination to get rid-tO get
Over-Small physical handicapS

700 PATIENTS
The Governor said that in vir-
tually every one of the SO States
through which he carried the
presidential campaign he came
across a graduate of Warm
Springs"
Since the foundation was es-
tablished by Mr.. Roosevelt in
1924. approximately TOO persons
have been patients here. large
majority regaining their health.
Mr.. Roosevelt smilingly re-
called that in the fall of 1924
he agreed to pay $187, 900 for the
land and buildings on the site Of
the present foundation. He
added:
"And 1 didn't have a cent

case was continued after his at

the International Labor Defense,
asked that his $25 collateral be
not forfeited.
AIDES made an unsuccessful at
tempt to enter a plea of guilty for
DR.. GonaSon, but Gudge Given
ruled the physician must appear
in person if the sentence was to
be suspended.
Four Freed on Bonds
Judge Given also took the per-
sonal bonds of four persons ar
rested Wednesday for soliciting
funds for the hunger march.
They were Amelia Shelton, 10, of
the 900 block of Lamont st. N. W.;
L. H. Ferguson, "a, no address;
Mrs. Anna Perlin, SO, of the 900
block of Shepherd st. N. W., and
Mrs. Lena Levin, of the 500 block
Of Columbia Rd. N. w.
Most of the marcherS advancing
on Washington are coming by au-
tomobile, reports received by local
police indicate, although there
have been one or two reports from
points in the Middle West that
marchers were boarding, freight
trains.
Benjamin Silent
Attempts to reach Herbert
Benjamin, secretary of the Ma
tional Committee of Unemployed
Councils, sponsors Of the march.
today were unavailing. Aides at
Benjamin's local office. the 1900
block G st. N. W., said they did
not know when he would be IN,
and no comments have been forth
coming from Communist circles
on the failure of the children's
hunger delegation to achieve its
mission.
Benjamin and other leaders,
however, have been perSiStently
optimistic as to the success of the
hunger march, and it is not be-
lieved that yesterdays fisco viii
serve visibly to discourage them.
The march is inevitable, police
concede, but its chance of becom-
ing the mighty movement pre-
dicted by it's sponsors are dim
ming, it was added.
The driver of DR.. Conason's
cab, Harry M. Lowe, 100 block
st. N. w., was also booked at
the Third precinct on traffic
charges after police said he was
speeding and passed a red light
in an effort to shake off mo-
torcycle policeman who followed
the cab from the Communist
meeting place in the 1000 block

A Request to the Board
Committee to Ask That Teachers Be
Retained Another Year

At meeting of about 80 citi-
Zens in the school auditorium
last Friday evening it was voted
to request the school board to
retain for one more year the
teachers who were recently mott
fed that they had not been re-
elected.
Mr.. Ericsson, Mr.. Dyer, Mrs.
Logan, and Mrs. Bernard were
appointed committee to ap-
pear before the board, and Rev,
A. S. Lawrence, who presided at
the meeting, was added to the
committee and asked to serve as
chairman.
1t was agreed that the late
ness of the notice given to the
teachers should be the basis of
the request for their retention.
The meeting steered clear Of dis
cussing the question of the
teachers capability, but Of
course it is no secret that there
are people in the village who
dissent from the boards judg-
ment as to the capability of
some of the teachers who failed
of reelection.
The substance Of the decision
reached at the meeting was SIM
ply this: that the board, in
waiting until the end Of May to
notify the teachers that they
were not reelected, deprived
them Of the opportunity to OBJ
tain positions elsewhere, and
that this was unfair to the
teachers.
Mr. Lawrence asked w 5.
Robertson, chairman Of the
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1932-06-17

school board, to set a time for
the citizens committee to be
heard. Mr.. Robertson informed
him that the board wanted to
have all its members present
when the committee appeared.
and that, since r. E. Coker was
absent from the village, the
hearing would have to be de
ferred. Mr.. Coker is expected
to return today, and SO the
hearing will probably take place
within the next two or three
days.
