 SOUTH AFRICA
Native Districts Report Narrowing Tales
 Children Eaten

Johannesburg (UP)--soNth Af- rica has just bene through the worst drought in her history.
 Narrowing tales have been re- ported from the native districts Thousands of cattle are dead or dyinE, and thousands of natives have been near starvation. A native in an outlying district of Basutoland was committed for trial on a charge of eating two of his children. He pleaded that he did it to save his life, for he was starving. 1t is estimated that a million sheen have died in Basu- toland in 12 months. From Vry- held. Natal, it was reported that animals were walking skeletons, and were falling dead from thirst on the veidt, which resembled 9 desert.
 At Wepener, in the Free State. heart rending scenes occurred as the farmers detrucked their sheep after a vain search over wide area for grazing. Many of the sheep died in the trucks. In one herd 200 fell dead during a five- mle trek.
 one big Natal colliery closed ow- ing to lack of water, and others have been running with the aid of underground pumps, while the gov- ernment ran water trains to supp ply residents. At Bloemhof, Trans vaal, most or the wells and bore holes dried, leaving the inhabi- tants almost waterless The north west, the cape, and southwest Af- rica alse have been stricken bad ly. Vryburg was declared a drought-strieken area and ob- tained government relief.

Says Economy Act
 a Cruel Blunder
Minnesota Congressman Tells Veterans to Propose
 Soldiers Program to Cut Taxes

government costs: stopping feder- al subsidies; retiring tax exempt, interest bearing, callable bonds with non-interest bearing, taxable United States notes (which would result in an annual saving of $s4o,- 900, ,000, he claimed; and federal financing of its emergency pro- gram without payment of tribute In the form of extravagant inter est on unnecessary loans.
 Concerning the last mentioned suggestion, Congressman Chase de- clared that the emergency legisia- tion enacted at the special session of congress made appropriations and authorized loans upon which the interest charges ultimately may run into several billions of dollars.
 If the government issues bonds to get the sums appropriated by the emergency acts passed at the special session. most of the inter est on the loans will go to the lit- tie group of New York millionaires who put across the Economy Bill'," Congressman Chase charged. "Spending money we do not have and leaving the bills for our grand children to pay is dangerously easy"
 In order to increase government receipts, Congressman Chase sug- gested eliminating the tax-exempt feature of government bonds. All government bonds should be in cluded in the source of income taxes, he declared, federal, state and municipal, even if such action required a Constitutional amend ment to make 1t possible.

Everett J. Arbour, treasurer and general manager of the Consoli- dated Motor Lines, Inc, Hartford and a member of the conference, said that the conference would abide by the agreement reached by the arbitration board and that all drivers have been notified ito get back to work or be replaced"
 And we'll have no trouble re- placing them," he said.
 Arbour was one of the plaintiffs in an injunction action brought last night to prevent the general strike from continuing and re- stfaining strikers from acts of in- limitation or violence.
 Many trucks are moving to- day." Arbour said, "and there seems to be confusion among union officials and truck drivers as to just what they are doing. Many old time union men have stuck to their jobs and freight is moving, although we have received re- ports of 12 arrests at Waterbury and five at Hartford"
 J. w. Connolly, Hartford, a mem- Der of the arbitration board which agreed on wage scales and hours for the truckmen, to-day denied a reported contention of Frank D. Crowther, business agent of the international Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Help CTS. that the arbitration boards findings were merely a report"

 "The reconstruction finance cor poration will accept subscriptions today for its 90-day debentures. payable in newly mined gold, that Is gold recovered from natural de- posits in the United States and any territory subject to It's Jurisdiction, at the rate of $31.36 per ounce of fine gold.

 The debentures offered for the gold by the REC will bear an in- terest rate of IA of one per cent anually. Newly mined gold is to be deposited in the governments hints and assay offices on which REC dabentures will be paid.
 Jenes said he was uncertain as to whether this price would be fixed daily or as to how much of the metal would be purchased in this manner.

 They studied dispatches from London to the effect that London brokers had boosted the price of the metal to around $50 an ounce. In order to keep market price higher than the foreign they were forced to set the S31.36 price.

 Egar. who said the strike was called without the approval, Sanction or support" of the Con. necticut Federation of Labor, sat1 fine walkout was called because. oi Ian apparent misunderstanding."
 "Al the arbitration board meet ing. which Crowther attended as. a m einber. it was agreed to avoid the n,1estion of union recognition anu adopt a satisfactory scale of wages ana hours. While the scale was not entirely satisfactory, an agree ment was signed and the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor is not go- ing to back down on it's word.
 q talked with Crowther Monday night and advised him as to what could be done. The calling of a strike was a complete surprise 10 me and I see no reason Tor It. Crowther tells me he has the ap- proyal of the International well, that may be so, but the Connecti. cut Federation Is not in favor oi the strike." The wage scale, announced Monday by the arbitration board, on the basis of a 48 hour week, set minimum wage of 56 cents an hour for local drivers, 72 cents for over r-the-road drivers, AZ 1-2 cents for helpers and 45 cents for lab- orers. International officers de. mand a wage scale of 10 per cent less than paid in New York, which sets a top price of $48.50 and q minimum of $36.50 depending upon the weight of the truck.
 I've will get our wage scale and recognition of the union or else the trucks won't roll out of this state." Crowther declared. We are not going to be stopped by soft soap talk. This is not an "outiaw strike.
 Egan agreed that the strike was not an outlaw, but said that If It were advised by the International, then that body assumed responsi- bility for 1t. If Crowther "called it on his own hook" Egan said, then the responsibility falls on his shoulders.
 "The truck owners agreed to deal through the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor," he said. "a1d that seems sufficient. The larger owners agreed to the arbitration board rulings and time should be given the smaller companies to give individual approval of the terms of this agreement.
 A hearing on the temporary in- Junction has been set for Navem- Der 2 in superior court, at which time the New England Freight Conference will ask 1t be made permanent. Damages of $10,000 also are asked in the writ, which was served on Crowther at the close of last nights mass meeting.
