UNEASY SPIRIT
PREVAILING IN
FARM CIRCLES
Protest Movement Against High
Taxes And Foreclosures Noted
Throughout Midwest.
LEGISLATURES WILL HELP
Determined Attitude But Little
Disorder Exhibited AS Farmers
Agitate For Relief.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2. UP - The
disquieting rumble of farmers pro-
tests against high taxes and mea-
gre profits surged across the entire
middlewest today commanding the
attention of officials efrom Wash
ington to the most secluded hamlet.
From sporadic outbreaks In the
corn belt area, it had grown to a
widespread revolt against tax sales
and mortgage foreclosures. In at
least 10 states an air of militancy
prevailed as farmers planned con-
certed opposition to enforced sales
of their land and livelihood.
Encouraged by victories in their
first encounters, farmers said they
would push on until congress and
state legislatures enact measures to
restore grain production and hog
raising TO profit basis.
A tense situation arose today in
Iowa, where feeling against en-
forced sales was keenest. Thous-
ands Of acres of black, fertile corn
land were posted for delinquent tax
sale. Postponement of the sales
has been forced several times.
Determined bands of farmers
were organized in more than 10 of
the states SO counties. They said
they would block the sales, either
by persuasion, strategy Or by force.
Occupying a prominent position
in Iowa's tax sale opposition was
Miles Reno, national president of
the Farmers Holiday association,
the organization behind the scenes
in the tax revolt.
Meanwhile the forces of state ad-
r1iinistration hurried through the
legislature an emergency relief
measure. Gov. Clyde L. Herring,
took personal command of both
! houses to force through measure
providing for state central con-
ciliation committee, which will have
final jurisdiction in all mortgage
issues arising between farmers and
, mortgagors.
Attorney Kidnapped
States in which the situation was
acute included Illinois, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, North Dako-
ia, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Tex
as and one eastern section, New
Jersey.
In Oklahoma, where a council
of defense" was organized to COM
bat foreclosures, an attorney sched-
uled to sell a widows farm was kid
naped and driven in an automobile
several miles from the scene. He
was released unharmed.
National bank officials were un-
der order from the comptroller OF
currency in Washington to follow a
liberal policy" in dealing with
foreclosures. They were asked not
to foreclose in instances where pro-
perty owners dwell on the prop
erty.
Ohio farmers planned to con-
tinue their novel plan OF holding
penny auctions" to aid mortgage
burdened neighbors. Their plan was
to take 10 day second mortgage
on the farmers land, foreclose, buy
all articles at penny prices and re-
turn them to their owner.
In some instances farmers hung
menacing rope nooses above barn
doors as they gathered at sales to
bid in the land at ridiculously low
prices and return it to the owner
In Illinois, at such sales, horses
were sold for four cents each and
cows at two cents.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. UP)-Jap-
anese Ambassador Katsuji Debuchi
today expressed belief that the
United States and Japan will re-
solve their differences over Man
churia and emerge better friends"

ferences had arisen between the

the opinion that of all western
nations, America will derive the
greatest benefit from the economic
regeneration of Manchuria."

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Feb. g.
The greatest public development
project any nation ever has at
tempted is planned by President
elect Roosevelt in the Tennessee
watershed, it was revealed today.
A gigantic program combining
public power development, farm re-
lief and employment is planned by
Mr.. Roosevelt, with Muscle Shoals
as the fountain-head.
Parts of dozen states would be
affected by the plan, which Mr..
Roosevelt said would put 10000 to
rs 900 men to work in its first year,
and eventually would give direct
employment to perhaps 100000.
Cheap power would be the center
of the scheme, as outlined by Mr..
Roosevelt. 1t would have the COM
bined purposes of encouraging
both urban and rural development,
and of serving as a governor to
regular private power prices.
M. Roosevelt himself described

Saved by Card Hook-Up

IT'S lucky for Columbus it has
a the hookup with the Cardinal
chain to rush to the rescue with
replacements-to fill the shoes of
the four stars barred when the Red
Bird bosses were caught out on a
limb. However, the Birds enjoyed
the help Of the four stars in piling
up many victories and it cost the
club only $500 in fines. Columbus
fans surely will forget any animosity
when they glance at the won and
lost standings.
The team has strong grip on
the league lead and the Cardinals
have Unanswered their chain" in
a way that will assure plenty of
strength on the Columbus roster.
The team played errorless ball
against indianapolis here Friday
and also outbatted the second
place Indians.
II the league had ruled to order
the amputation of one of Harold
Anderson's legs and compelled Nick
Cullop to bat with a toothpick. it
would have been better for the
Hoosiers. Anderson went wide and
deep in center Friday and gathered
in eight putouts.
Cullop figured in both rallies that
put the Birds across. He started
the tying rally in the ninth with
wallop and came up again in the
tenth with another blow that helped
sink the Tribesmen.

Was Tough, Says Rick.

EDDIE RICKENBACKER, presi-
~ dent of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, is back at his New York
offices recovering from the strain
of the 500-mile race on May 80. He
thanks the Indianapolis papers for
their whole-hearted support of the
annual classic and his letter to The
Times, in part, follows:
1T was the toughest event I ever
have associated with and l hope
never to have another like it. 1t
seemed as though everybody was a
victim of the spirit of the day,
thinking differently than they did
in the past-in fact, there was no
precedent for many of the things
that happened.
THE accidents, of course, we're
regrettable beyond words, but 1 be-
lieve changes in specifications can
we'll be made that will add material
ly to the safety of the contestants
for future events"
Steve flanagan, popular Speed
way publicity director for fourteen
years. who resigned the 500-mile
assignment to accept important
year-around employment, is located
in Chicago with the Lord and Thorn

Seems I must a hung up a record
for bench warmth "
Leslie was unfortunate in being a
substitute first baseman with the
New York Giants, who had one of
the best first sackers in the big
time, Bill Terry. Consequently, Sam
saw little action until April "a, when
a shot on Terry's wrist bounced
Sam Of the bench and brought his
name int the headlines at last.
On that day, player manager
Terry suffered shattered right
wrist when struck by a pitched
ball. He was out OF the game for
more than a month, and Leslie sub
stituted for him at first base with
sensational success. Sam played
brilliantly in the field and
batted .321.

80 Women
Enter Play
Elizabeth Dunn to Defend
City Golf Crown Start
ing Monday.
BY DICK MILLER

With a field of eighty already en-
tered and paired for the eighteen
hole qualifying round Monday of
the annual indianapolis WomenS
Golf Association city championship,
to be held next week over Meridian
Hills course, Mrs. E. William Lee,
president, today predicted late en-
tries Sunday and at the first tee
Monday would send the field to a
record total.
Pacing the players seeking the
coveted sixteen championship flight
positions was Miss Elizabeth Dunn,
defending champion. Missing from
the field, however, was the runnerup
of last year, Miss Lou Adams, and
one of the four semi-fnalists, Miss
Dorothy Ellis.
Other Stars Enter
Such stars as Mrs. Ben Stevenson
of the Hills course; Mrs. G. A.
Jaqua, Miss Mary Gorham, Miss
Frances Kotteman, all of Highland;
Miss Ruth White and Mrs. j. c.
Patton, Country Club stars, and
Mrs. Marjorie Kahn and Mrs. Sam
Goldstein, leading Broadmoor play
ers are in the field, however.
Other players who made the select
sixteen last year are Mrs. Charles
Kelley Jr., who is not playing this
year on because of illness, Mrs. j. S.
Schortle, Mrs. Earl Cutter, Mrs.
Charles Latham, Mrs. E. S. Gorrell
and Mrs. Scott Legge.
1t is a safe bet that a majority of
these again will fight their way to
the select list, but reports from the
various courses indicate new lumi-
naries this year and more than
third of the places are expected to
be filled by new faces.
Flights of Sixteen
The tournament will open at $3.50
Monday with the players leaving the
first tee in five minute intervals.
Some will be dispatched from the
tenth tee to eXpediate play. On
Monday afternoon, after all scores
are in, the field will be divided into
flights of sixteen each on the basis
of graded scores and the paired
players will begin match play Tues
day.
The Tuesday losers will not be
eliminated as Wednesdays program
calls for match play between first
day losers, and Thursday will find
the secondary losers in each flight
battling for prizes based on medal
scores. Final matches in all flights
are on the program for Friday.
