The national committee urges
that farm organization locals,
where unable to send delegates,
should pass resolutions endorsing
the conference and send copies to
the local press as well as to the
convention in Washington. The
committee stresses the demand for
using for relief funds the monies

war preparations.

"One out of every seven farm
families in the United States is on

In delivering his summary of the
trial, the Fascist Judge Buenger,
while forced to deliver a verdict
in favor of the Communist de-
fendants, nevertheless attempted
to whitewash the Nazis of guilt
and paved the way for another
trial on charges of treason. He
insisted that Communists set fire
to the Reichstag. To make this
statement, he had to ignore all the
testimony given during the trial,
testimony which pointed out the
real culprits as the Nazi chief
tans.

Reduce Crops
Or No Credit
Says Johnson
No Govt. Loans to Cotton
Farmers Who Refuse to
Reduce Crops in 1884
TALK AT MEMPHIS
Choppers Not Entitled to
Share Rental Payment,
Administrator Says

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Credit! This
is the, whip by which the Roose-
velt administration will drive cot
ton farmers into accepting the
crop reduction program of 1884.
Oscar Johnson, finance admin
strator of the AAA made this
statement here on December IL be-
fore a meeting Of $500 county
agents, rich planters, bankers and
cotton traders. "The Farm Credit
Administration" he said, "has de-
cided that no governmental loans
! of any kind-farm land bank, seed
and feed loans, etc.-will be made
to any cotton farmer who fails to
take part in the acreage reduction
campaign"
President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Wallace have constantly re-
ferred to the acreage reduction
program as voluntary" as some
thirg which farmer might join or
stay out, just as he pleased.
The majority of the poor south
ern farmers have no place to turn
for credit to put in a crop except
: to the government crop loan
) agency. Without this, they can
reither make a crop nor feed their
families. and the result is AC-
: TUAL STARVATION. Thew have
! no choice whatever, yet the Roose

BLENDED GASOLINE BILL
Proposal to Tax Non-Blended Auto
Fuel and Spur Use of Corn
Alcohol Protested.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The proposal to force blending of
alcohol and gasoline by placing a
heavy special tax on non-blended gaso-
line appeared today to have been side
tracked for the remainder Of the pres
ent session OF Congress by the Senate
Finance Committee.
In closing hearings on the new tax
bill, at which Chairman Harrison yes
terday indicated there would be rec
ommendation for continuation of the
1-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax, the COM
mittee decided against taking up-the
proposal that this tax be increased un-
less the fuel contained corn alcohol.
Protests against such proposals, in
troduced in the House as we'll as the
Senate, were made by the American
Automobile Association and the Amer
ican Petroleum Industries Committee,
both of which claimed this would in
crease the price to motorists for an
inferior motor fuel.
Harrison stated. however, that he
would confer soon with members of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee in an effort to set up joint con-
gressional committee to 60 into the
corn alcohol blend question and report
back to the next Congress.
