WALLACE FAVORED
FOR CROP CONTROL
Agricultural Leaders Urge
Granting of Strong Power
for Purpose.
BY the Associated Press,


Farm organization leaders yesterday
asked President Roosevelt and Con-
gress to give Secretary Wallace emer-
gency power to reduce production and
boost prices Of farm products.
The leaders recommended that the
Secretary be given authority to select
relief plan, using in whole on. in
part many proposals made in years
past, or, If he desires, to work out an
entirely new approach to q solution
Of the farm economic problem.
In q conference with President Roose-
welt, the leaders suggested that au-
thority to lease lands, to acquire title
to commodities, to regulate marketing
and other extraordinary pawers be del
egated to the Secretary.
Wallace was present at the time and
his associates indicated that he was
willing to accept the responsibility. The
President is expected to express ap-
proval or disapproval Of the proposal
early this week, with most of the lead
ers remaining on hand for his reply.
Application Of the powers would in
clude the production and marketing
Of nine principal commodities, wheat.
cotton, corn, hogs, cattle, sheep, rice,
tobacco, milk and its products.
Dictatorship Denied.
w. r. Ronald, Mitchell, S. Oak,
newspaper publisher, chairman of the
committee which called at the White
House, said the proposed grant Of power
would not be "dictatorial";; that leaders
regarded it as impossible to recommend
a specific plan Of relief due to unset
tied business and financial conditions.
These specific powers would be grant,
ed by Congress to the President and
Secretary Wallace under the proposal
agreed to:
81. To lease agricultural land and
Corr enter into contractual agreements
for the control of agricultural produc-
ton.
"2. To take such action and to make
such settlements as are necessary in
order to acquire full legal title to all
cotton or other farm commodities on

LOS ANGELES, March 11.@South-
ern California trembled tonight as she
measured her earthquake dead In scores,
her injured in thousands and her prop
erty damage in tens Of millions of dol
lars.
Recurring earth shocks, in addition
to the % major convulsions that killed
many and manned and harassed the
densely populated metropolitan area,
kept rasping at the already raw nerves
Of the 100000 persons who escaped
unscathed.
As afternoon wore on into night the
less severe shocks got beyond count.
Grief, suffering and fear edged into
the wide picture Of death and destruc-

hunters fill the marble slabs of the
morgues, read the casualty list and in
spected the far-hung ruins, all the while
keeping on edge for the shocks which
scientists said might continue for days
or even weeks.
The ever-changing casualty figures
stood tonight at 130 dead and possibly
5000 injured, including everything from
scratches and bruised heels to cases
that may prove fatal. The number of
persons requiring actual hospital treat
ment was estimated at 1000 for the
entire area.
Frequent changes in reports from the
stricken communities, revealing dupli-
cations in reports of deaths by nearby
towns, lowered the total from 140 to
125, while further changes were ex-
pected. There was no means by which

The Secretary Of the Treasury will

So also the State authorities having
supervision over State banks which are

such State institutions located In any

cities to open for business on Monday
morning If in their judgment they deem

TOXIC, March 11.-Whether there Is
war or peace in North China, where
there are sizable colonies of Americans
and other foreigners, depends upon the
moves made by the Chinese, a war Of
fee spokesman declared today.
The Japanese consider that a new
situation has developed in China with
the resignation of Marshal Chang
Hsiao- LANG as the chief warlord Of the
North to make way for Marshal Chang
Kai-Shek, the Chinese nations strong
est military leader.
Of Chang Kai-Shek," the war office
spokesman asserted. IF he seriously
attempts to recapture any portion OF
Jehol it means war on national scale,
in which event there is no reason that
Japanese operations should be re-
stricted by the Great Wall"
In conquering Jehol the japanese ex-
tended the frontier of the territory they
dominate to the Great Wall, below
which lies the Peiping- -Tientsin area, In
which there are 5000 Americans, in
cluding 1900 Marines and soldiers.
It was learned at the war off1ce that
II the Chinese attempt to gain back
Jehol the Japanese are prepared to send
additional troops from Japan "to Shan
haikwan and Tientsin. or anywhere else
military necessity dictates"
Apparently as q precautionary meas
ure to meet possible developments In
North China, the war office announced
its intention of requisitioning part Of
the motor trucks in Toxic. Osaka and
Nagoya.
The war ofice interpreted the dis
patch by Marshal Chang Kai-Shek OF
one Of his own divisions to the Great
Wall front as q move to meet domestic
political considerations. This action
was not taken as indication Of q serious
intention to challenge the Japanese
Army. For that reason, the war office

ROPER REGROUP|NG|
ACTION imminent.
Reorganizing of Commerce
Unit Is Expected This Week
to Save 100000.

Secretary Of Commerce Roper is ex-
pected to announce early this week a
sweeping reorganization Of the Depart
ment of Commerce. through which he
hopes to effect at least IS per cent
slash in the cost Of operating that
important branch of the Government.
With saving of more than s9,o00,-
600 as his goal, Secretary Roper is
understood to be planning a general
curtailment and consolidation Of bu-
reau activities. with the ak due to fall
heaviest on the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
The most drastic step. 1t was reported
last night in reliable circles. will be
the abolition of the Nationwide system
of field Offices maintained by the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce in most of the large cities Of the
country.
Committee Prepared Program.
Details of the reorganization program
are to be made public, probably Tues
day. it was rumored. The program has
been prepared by special committee
appointed by Mr.. Roper to recommend
economies for the department made
famous by former President Hoover.
The brunt of the shake-up apparent
ly will be borne by the "a district
offices of the Bureau OF Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. These onces,
located in as many important cities,
have 236 employees, all of whom would
lose their jobs if the domestic COM
merce reporting system were abandoned.
In addition to the regular district Of
fees there are 40 cooperative" offices,
