Later she said man at the storage

cabin.
"All I have gained throughout the
years is circumstantial evidence" she
said. "All I could do to solve the mys-

Finally she said she had come to be-

The Subcommittee of the Economic
Commission, which has been drafting
q scheme for the coordination of pro-
duction and marketing, finished its
work, and today issued a draft which
embodies the broad principles Of what
they consider q workable plan.
1t laid down the necessity Of raising
wholesale prices of primary products to
reasonable level, and the desirability
Of adopting plans for production and
marketing Of certain products.
Subcommittee Drafts Plan.
The subcommittee suggests that any
agreements to give effect to the plan
should conform generally to the fol-
lowing conditions:
"1. The commodity must be one Of
world importance in which there is
such excess Of production or stocks as
to call for special concerted action.
20. ANY agreement should be COM
prehensive and not so narrowly drawn
as to exclude related or substitute
products II their inclusion is necessary
or desirable to insure the success OF
the plan.
49, It should be comprehensive as
regards producers. 1t should command
general measure of assent among
exporting countries and within these
countries substantial majority Of the
producers themselves. 1t should pro-
vide for the cooperation of non-export-
ing countries whose production is

Desertions from the Civilian Con-
servation Corps have fallen to little
more than half the original percentage
and applications for discharge also
have been greatly reduced, according
to reports of corps area commanders
to the War Department. The latest
statistical reports. received here yes
terday, are accompanied by praise for
the manner in which the city-bred for
esters are tackling their outdoor work.
Robert Fechner, director of the prof.
ect, expressed himself as every graft
fled at the reports" concerning his
100000 charges of whom 160 900 are
now in work camps. He was told the
latest reports will show smaller de-
sertion rate than the 09 per cent of
some weeks ago. The first report
showed is per cent of desertions.

Throughout the bulky mass of reuorts

are from 80 to several hundred men,

their work to the best of their ability

ports.
Statements have been received by
Fechner from eight of the nine Army
corps areas. Only the 4th Corps Area
remains to be heard from. This covers
Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and
North Carolina.
The dates of the various reports differ

Fragmentary reports from the 9th

MANILA, P. l., June 24.-Enilio
Aguinaldo, leader of the Philippine in
surrection of 1901, today attacked the
proposed plebiscite on the independence
act to which rival political leaders
have tentatively agreed.
BY this stand taken in a speech in
Isabella Province the dynamic little head
of the insurrecto veterans organiza-
ton became the sole outstanding advo-
cate of outright rejection of proffered
terms of independence.
IF I were the leader" he said, Il
would not submit the law to the people
or to a convention, but decide myself"
Manuel Quezon, president of the Sem
ate, who has been attacking the terms
of the act, recently agreed to a
plebiscite in a conference with Senator
Sergio Osmena and Speaker of the
House Manuel Roxas, champions Of
acceptance.
The plebiscite, to be held after the
Legislature convenes July II, would
serve as guide in reaching the final
decision, either at a convention or by
the Legislature.

VIENNA, June 24-The Austrian
government answered the defiance Of
the Nazi party today by arresting Al
fred Frauenfeld, leader of the party, at
Villach in Carinthia where, it was al
legged, he planned to cross the border
into Italy.
This action was taken after the bonn
bardment of the city of Linz yesterday
by Nazi handbills dropped from air
planes. These handbills threatened a
new fight on the regime of Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss In which the Nazis
would employ whatever weapons
deemed necessary to achieve the goal"
Leader Frauenfeld, who heads party
which has been officially banned by the
government, is to be brought to Vienna
from Villach.
The announcements of the new revo-
lutionary offensive against the Dollfuss
government excited the Vienna press
The fight which now begins will be
Waged on that plane to which it has
been forced by the Dollfuss govern
ment." the handbills declared.
News of the occurrence crowded the
chancellor's own speech at Linz off the
front page of the semi-oficial Reichs-
post.
Chancellor DollfusS replied with spirit
to the Nazi threat
1t is no use trying to frighten us,
not even with death threats, such as
myself and my wife have been getting
a whole sheaf of them," he said. "A
man who risked his life for 81 months
at the front during the World War
isn't going to be afraid to fulfill his
duty toward his homeland now
Not only We members Of the Gov
ernment, but the entire law enforce
ment organization, with the police and
the gendarmerie, are ready to defend
the homeland with the last drop of
their blood"
Minister Of Security Emil Fey and
representatives of the army, police and
gendarmerie held a conference to dis
cuss preparedness measures.

q new feature in inaugural ceremonies when,
in 1897 he organized and drilled a Chorus OF
500 voices which sang at the concert in honor
of President Mckinley. This chorus was care
fully selected and carefully drilled and was
one of the high spots Of the entertainment
surrounding the assuming of Office by the Ex-
ecutive.
Mr. Foster, who died last year, was long
prominent in the musical activities of the city.
particularly when the activity was some great
civic undertaking. He also had led the music
in various conventions Of the Christian En-
deavor Society and similar organizations. 1t
was this prominence which brought about the
selection of the Virginian as the man to direct
the inaugural chorus.

finally said that he did not see how the bonus
could be paid If there was no money in the
Treasury. The poison against Hoover had been
spread, however, and it did not matter much
what Roosevelt said about the bonus SO far as
the veterans were concerned. On the other
hand, his refusal to sponsor immediate cash
payment helped him materially in other quar-
tiers.
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, who had
been one of the most effective campaigners for
Hoover in 1929 went out to Idaho and did
nothing except to seek to bring about the re-
election of his colleague. former Senator
Thomas, who went out of Office yesterday.
Borah could not save Thomas. Borah's silence
during the national campaign was significant
if nothing else. His break with Mr.. Hoover
had been pretty complete, nor did the Repubh-
his old allegiance.
In his last effort to break down the Demo-
cratic march to victory Mr.. Hoover pictured
the economic ills which would fall upon the
country if the Republican tariff policy and
sound money were abandoned. He even sug-
gcsted that grass would grow in the streets
of . hundred cities" If the protective tariff
system were overturned by the Democrats. as
some of them threatened to do. 1t was all in
vain. When the ballots were counted. Roose-
welt was shown to have received 22,521 ,525
votes to 15,s37,537 for Hoover and 72s,s6O for
Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate. The
.electoral vote of the States cast for Hoover
was So, and for Roosevelt, 472. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Hoover received . larger popular vote by
several hundred thousand than did AL Smith
in 1928, although Roosevelts plurality over Hoo
yer was greater than that of Hoover over
Smith four years earlier.
The run made by Norman Thomas. the So
cialist candidate was disappointing to his fol-
lowers. who had predicted ne would receive as
high as 100000 votes. The country stood.
in this campaign, true to the old system OF
party government and to one of the old parties.
