ROOSEVELT Silent
But IS PREPARING
himself FOR POST
President.Elect Will Not Talk
or Act Until He Assumes
Office In March

New York, Jan. l2.-(P)-With an
eye on congress, President-elect
Roosevelt drove ahead silently today
on the process Of preparing myself"
for the task after March 4.
Roosevelt is waiting until he Is
president before he talks or acts.
But he Is anxious that this dying
session Of congress, the last Of the
Hoover administration. makes sure Of
balancing the budget and enacting
farm relief.
The principle of the pending agri-
culture bill before the house meets
the ideas Of the President-elect. He
understands that the leaders Of or.
gained agriculture are behind the
measure. During the campaign he
gave assurance that If the several
farm organizations would agree on
federal help he would support them
Details Of raising new taxes, II they
are necessary, and cutting appropria-
tons, are left by him to congress, but
he wants that done before he assumes
the presidency.
There is no doubt here that II the
Democratic program for this session
fails, Roosevelt will call an extra ses-
sion Of the new congress Immediately,
but he Is not saying anything about
that. He expects this congress to do
the work.

TO Change
LEVIES ON FARMER
Will Abandon Collection Sys-
tenn For Definite Grain
Tax in Kind

Moscow, Jan. l2.-(R-Abolition OF
the depressing grain collection" sys-
tenn, In effect for the last five years,
was officially predicted Thursday as
a means Of remedying the serious
food shortage in Russia.
President Vyacheslaff M. Molotoff,
the front" Of the Soviet government,
said in speech made public We'd
nesday night that the present cumul-
alive collections" system probably
would be replaced by a definite grain
tax" in kind, levied In advance Of
sowing.
Under the present system of levy
ing upon deliveries on q basis of pos
sibilities, production fell off greatly
because peasants knew the more they
raised the more the government
would take.
1.-THE supply Of manufactured goods
and Of food must be improved" said
Molotoff.
In virtual agreement with the
recommendation made public three
days ago in q speech by Joseph v.
Stain, chief Of the Communist
party, Molotoff said there would be
an increase Of 1875 per cent in this
years production over 1882. Stain
set the figure roughly at 16 per cent

HIGH WIND CAUSES
100000 DAMAGES
near Los ANGELES
Two Known Dead and Three
Missing in Wake Of Storm
On Pacific Coast

Los Angeles, Jan. l2.-(R-In the
wake of its most terrific windstorm
on record, Southern California Thurs
day counted its dead at two. its miss
Ing at three and property damage in
excess Of $l,000.O 900.
An accurate estimate of damage to
agricultural crops will be unavailable
for several days, but the loss Is ex-
pected to equal that suffered by the
oil industry which reported $500 900
damage, most of which resulted from
toppsod oill derricks.
The storm brought winds ranging
in velocity from IL to 80 miles an
hour. The weather bureau stated it
was caused by an exceptionally high
pressure area over western Nevada
which was relieved by blowing to the
south.
Lieut.. Commander Carl Hupp of the
light cruiser U. s. S. Raleigh, was
swept overheard and drowned when
he attempted to secure boat at
tached to the ship while 1t was whip
ping about In the storm. His body
has not been recovered.
The other death from the storm Is
believed to be that Of Theodore Krog,
II, q retired seaman living In q
houseboat at Cabrillo beach. The
wreckage of his boat was found on
the shore. No trace Of him was found.
Three sailors from the aircraft car.
rier Saratoga were reported missing
in a shore boat, although there was
no official statement from the navy.
Hundreds Of houses were unroofed
and numerous garages and poultry
houses were carried by the wind for
distances of mile or more. Many
fruit trees were blown down. as we'll
as telephone and telegraph wires.
County officials estimated 81 ,000.-
600 would be q conservative estimate
of the total loss.
Metropolitan Los Angeles escaped
from the fury Of the gale, the wind
reaching q velocity OF only IL miles
an hour In the downtown district.
