Farm Costs Outweigh
 Alky Blend Benefits
New Legislation Will Do More Harm Than Good, ln-
 vestigatiOn Proves

New York, N. Y. - Legislation n designed to promote farm relief by compelling the public to use motor fuel blended with alcohol manu- factured from surplus domestic agricultural products, especially corn, would raise farm costs more than it would increase farm in- come. That is the conclusion OF General Marketing Counselors, q research organization, after an exhaustive study of the economic aspects of this so-called farm re- lief' plan.
 Bills calling for compulsory use of blended fuels were introduced in congress and in several state legislatures early this year. While they failed of enactment, such leg islation still is being agitated, par ticularly in the Corn Belt" A committee is to report on the plan at the next session of congress, and action is expected also in sev- eral legislatures.
 The research organization de- voted a portion of its 109-page re- port to the drastic economic ef- fects of the scheme upon agricul- ture, pointing out that the farm- CTS themselves, using 23 per cent of this country's motor fuel output annually, would pay 23 per cent of the inevitable increase in fuel costs, and that this added farm expense would offset any financial benefit.
 "The proposal is not a healthy one from the standpoint of farm- CTS in general" the report stated. "Only the corn farmers of the Corn Belt who sell corn for cash would receive any appreciable ben- eft. It would be more sound from the standpoint of the farmers if a new use could be found for corn and other agricultural products which would not act as a boomer ang and cost the farmer more than he would get out of it"
 The report placed at $7O,656,O0O the increase in motor fuel costs to the farmers. It based it's esti- mates upon corn prices of 37 cents bushel, or about half of current quotations, plus TIA cents per bushel, the expected increase made possible by compulsory blend leg islation. The estimates were based also upon a per cent alcoHoi bland, which, the report indicated, was the smallest that conceivably could benefit the farmer or affect corn prices materially.
 In addition to the $70,656,000 ir- crease in the cost of fuel for farm passenger cars, trucks, tractors and stationary engines, additional farm expenses of $160,322.000 were seen in the increased cost of corn purchased by one farmer from another or fed by farmer to his own livestock. An additional in- crease of $7,6S1,000 was estimated in the cost of barley used for feed. Total increases in farm expenses were placed at s23S.659,000. rep resenting net loss to farmers of $2O,469,000.
 Increased revenues foreseen for farmers included $24,305,000 in the

|NAzI FACTIONS
 IN MEMEL RISK FULL OUTLAWRY
Sass, Neumann Groups Force Government to
 Be Wary

Kovno, Lithuania (UP)-Grow. ing animosities between the two warning National socialist factions in Memel is gradually forcing the Lithuanian government into pro- tective measures, which may cul. minate in the outlawry of both groups.
 The intra-party fight, carried on by Baron von Sass Christian So. cial Peoples party and the Neu- mann Social Peoples party, has already led to a prohibition of all political meetings not expressly sanctioned by the authorities.
 Primer Hand Seen.
 Kovno observers feel however, that the government will be com pelled to take even a firmer hand, possibly through abolition of the groups, if the police are not to lose complete control over law and or der.
 The Nazi civil war is more bit ter than anything before witnessed in even the most hated election campaign. Sass appears to have a slight edge, a large part of his support coming from elements hos tile to the former Agricultural party, representing large landown. CTS, which they believe is reorgan- izing in a new form behind Neu. mann.
 Leadership Not Mortal.
 Sass declares his leadership does not spring from any mortal agency but was conferred on him by Jesus Christ. His opponents retort with charges of blasphemy, and have brought him under a severe fire of criticism.
 The military commandant of the Memel district, in addition to the prohibition of political rallies, has ordered many arrests in the in- terest of public order. Several have been prosecuted for wearing the swastika insigna despite it's pro- hibition, and five members of the Youth Ring" in Pogegen were jailed for wearing uniforms in de- fiance of police order.

tage and favor corn. In this con- nection it was pointed out that the raw material for a gallon of alco- hol, costing 8.7 cents if manufac- tured from corn. would cost 9.6 cents If made from sorghum, 10.5 cents from rye, 13.1 cents from
 wheat, 13.2 cents from oats, 49.6 cents from sweet potatoes, and
 51.3 cents from potatoes.
 Drastic and distributing eco homie effects, helpful to few and
 detrimental to most farmers and
 other interests, were seen as the result of dumping upon the mar
 ket enormous and unprecedented vaiumes of corn oil and distiller's
 grain,. the by-product of manufac- turing alcohol from corn. Corn oil,
 used for cooking and as salad oil it was said, would hurt both dairy and hog farmers almost immediate
 lythrough competition with butter and lard, and through It's very vol
 ume work destructive influence upon established markets for cot tonseed oil, peanut oil, and vege- table oils.
 Equally unfortunate results were seen in the competition of distii- lers' grain. used for livestock feed, with linseed oil meal, cottonseed oil meal, germ oil meal gluten feed, gluten meal, soy bean meal and bran. Since the primary use for distillers' grain is in the dairy industry, the report. explained tha, with some farmers buying the ma terials sold by others. the effec- tive amount of corn removed from the market would be reduced and corn prices prevented from rising | as much as might be expected. The report did not overlook tne profits from underground crops oi crude oil, stating that if tho marke'
 for gasoline were reduced by sup
 stituting alcohol for g part or tns fuel now used, there would be reduction in oil royalties received by these farmers.

By MILES w. VAUGHN

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Tokio --UP)- Masano Hani-
 hara, once affectionately known in Washingtof, where he was Japan ese ambassador, as Little Han~. is dying, a prematurely old man, broken by diplomatic mistake. :
 The use of two words. regarded by the phrase makers of interna. tional language as insulting" :" sent Hanihara back from the Unit ed States, drove him from his car ger, and made him a sacrifice on the altar of friendly Japanese American relationships. The words were:
 "Grave consequences"
 Today, Hanihara, his mind en- feebled, "lives only to see the United States right what he be- lieves the grave wrong accom- plished when America adopted the Japanese exclusion act" according to his friends. In 1924, when the exclusion act was pending in the United States Little Hani'' took it upon himself to write Secretary of State Charles
 E. Hughes, in the interests of his own and the American people. He felt that resentment, wounded feelings, bitterness would be the
 outcome in Japan if the act was passed, with an endlessly unhappy effect upon the peaceful relations between the two countries.
 Full. of this anxiety, he wrote a
 letter-pathetic in the light of to- day-in which he told Secretary Hughes that passage of the bill would bring "grave consequences.' '' He was writing, far from home
 in aelanguage not his own. But
 grave consequences" in the minds of formal Occidental diplomats
 mean only one thing-the threat of war. They are words used in insulting ultimatums. The United States senate promptly was insult ed, and the bill was passed as though in reply to Hanihara's "as- sault on American dignity"
 Hanihara's mistake in language
 might have been explained by half a dozen men who knew what ac- tually was in his mind, but 1t never was, and shortly the ambassador
 returned to Tokio, under a cloud The grave consequences" fore
 seen by Hanihara were not long !rl coming. The wave of resentment
 swept Japan, wiping out the kindly feelings that had been engendered
