208 LITTLE PIGS
PREY Of WOLF

OMAHA-Tw hundred and
eight patriotic little pigs found
themselves hopelessly stranded in
the Omaha stockyards recently
when the Government campaign
for buying surplus stock came to
an end.
They were Government pigs,
but no one seemed to know who
brought them there, and after
hanging around for almost four
days could not remember their
owners name.
All they knew was that they
were patriotic enough to have con-
Sented to become fertilizer, but it
turned out that the Government
was all through hiring hogs.
Also, eight expectant mother
hogs were stranded in the yards
and their case was even more
pitiable. One of the sows gave
birth to a brood Of little pigs
amid much confusion. The mother
Immediately set to work to estab-
lish some protection against the
appearance of the "big bad wolf"
But the wolf appeared in the
shape of a buyer from a meat
packing house. and now the en-
tire family is helping to feed the
unemployed.

OIL POOL HELD
PROTECTION
By International News Service


Congressional attacks on the
proposed pooling and marketing
agreement of the petroleum in
dustry may jeopardiZe the pro-
lection of independents against
"price-cutting raids Of larger
companise, Harold B. Fell, execu
tive vice president of the Inde'
pendent Petroleum Association,
warned today.
Critics, Fell said, were "either
uninfortned of the true facts Of
the case or else misled" by op.
ponents of any stabilizing pro-
gram in the industry. He said:
"WhiIe neither the present
program nor the proposed
agreement is viewed as either
perfect or ideal, they are at
least practical and offer a type
of protection for the independ-
ent and for the smaller inter-
ests in the industry which has
not hitherto obtained.
"NO substitute plan has been
offered by these critics of a
carefully considered plan for
recovery of this industry,
which directly affects millions
of Americans"

BUTTER BUYING
POLICY |RKS
FARMERS
By International News Service

By International News Service
Decision of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace to terminate Gov
ernment butter purchases, which
have been credited with holding
UP the butter market, was sharply
criticized today by the executive
committee of the National Co.
operative Milk Producers Associa-
ton.
Secretary wallace, in announc-
ing change in the policy, re-
vealed that Government butter
purchases had reduced the sur
plus to approximately 100000
pounds above the five-year aver
age for December l.
New Method Adopted
The agreement to make butter
purchases through the dairy mar
keting corporation at Chicago was
terminated by the Secretary De-
cember 16, but was coupled with
announcement of the Govern
ment's intention to buy approx
mately 100000 pounds of addi-
tlonal butter through the Federal
Surplus Relief Corporation. The
producers association said:
''FOur million dairy farmers
Of the United States face q
tragic outlook as a result Of the
abandonment by the Secretary
of Agriculture of the program
to support the butter and cheese
markets"
Failure of the Administration
to live up to the agreement" they
charged, combined with it's indie
cisive policy" in butter purchases.
caused a geenral breakdown of
butter prices.
Heavy Losses Cited
This has led in the last two
weeks to a loss to producers of
milk for manufacturing purposes
of 30 to IS per cent of their total
current income, the association
alleges.
The attack included the pro-
posal of the Secretary to make
additional purchases through the
Federal Surplus Relief Corpora
tion. This plan, involving sealed
bids, the producers association
charged, "tends to lower rather
than increase prices"
Complaints that Secretary Wal
lace had failed to support the
cheese market in the general pro-
gram were partly answered tods1
as the Federal Surplus Relief Cor
poration prepared to open bids
on Government purchases.

EASIER CHANGE
IN CONSTITUTION
ASKED IN BILL
Present Difficult System of
Amendment Would
Be Altered.

Difficulties in amending Indiana s
Constitution will be removed if a
joint resolution introduced in the
senate today by Senator j. Curtis
White Dem, Indianapolis, is
passed.
1t provides that a ma jority vote
cast for the amendment in refer
endum makes it prevail and that
more than two can be started on
their way in any legislative session
and need approval of but a single
session for submission.
At the present time, the proposed
amendment, with not more than
two being submitted, must be ap-
proved by two successive legislatures
and receive a majority of all votes
cast at the election.
Difficulty lies in the fact that the
proposed change must hurdle the
obstacles which it seeks to abolish,

The bill passed was the measure

ballots from those used to deSig-
nate candidates for offices. Sep
arate colors will be used to dis
tinguish ballots.
The other measure, introduced
by Senator's ohm Bright Webb and
E. Curtis White, indianapolis
Democrats, provides for eliminating
minor parties from ballots. One
per cent of the vote at the last
preceding election for secretary of
state will be necessary to get a
place on the ballots.
