PEACE PLAN BEING DRAFTED.

BUFFALO,, N. Y, August 7 (R.-A
new classification plan for milk which
leaders of the Empire Dairymen's Pro-
tective Association in Western New
York hope will end the milk strike will
be placed before Gov. Lehman tonight
or tomorrow. The new plan would give
the farmer a larger share Of the con-
sumer's milk dollar"
Harold j. Goodmote, secretary Of the
Empire Association. which helped Or
ganize the strike, announced he and c.
o. Jorenby of Steamburg, leader Of
DISSATISFIED milk farmers in Southwest
ern New York. would complete drafting
the plan today.
Goodmote would not reveal details Of
the proposal, but he said he believed it
would be acceptable to the striking
farmers and he hoped the State Milk
Control Board would adopt it.
Goodmote said Jorenby was an Eek
pert on milk" that he had helped Or
ganize the Wisconsin Cheese Fedora
ton, now known as the National Cheese
Federation, and that he had been presi-
dent Of the largest cooperative cheese
organization In Wisconsin for IL years.
Bank failures, Goodmote said, wiped
out" Jorenby financially and he came
East and started anew on small dairy
farm near Steamburg

Apparently the most influential Wall
Street people are playing ball with the
administration on the inside. They
readily took up the new curb on margin
accounts. the original suggestion Is
supposed to have come from close to
Mr.. Roosevelt. also you need not be
surprised if the stock exchanges come
into Gen. Johnson's office shortly with
a code. It has been in the course OF
preparation for a week.
Banks are not accepting the Recon-
struction Finance Corporations liberal
policy of purchasing preferred stocks in
their institutions. At least, not to the
degree that had been hoped. Appar-
emily, they fear the r. F. c. will take
too big hand in the operation of banks
in which it holds stock.

Change Talk Only.

The only real question about It is
whether the recovery steps now being

Nine out Of ten insiders In Washington
believe more will be necessary They
have not changed their minds, only
their talk.
You cannot 90 on Uith eristin1

gold standard. II it is the gold con-
tent of the dollar will unquestionably
be less than it ,oas. II not, it wiH
be a commodity dollar standard
Either t0dy, you get the same result
Initiation.
The most significant inner develop
| ment on this subject recently was the
unnoticed appointment Of q new Fed
eral board of statistical experts They
are to be known as the Central Sta
tisticaI Board. Their job Is going to be
to keep Mr.. Roosevelt privately in
formed as to how much purchasing
power the N. r. A. Is creating. They
will keep their eyes on Unemployment
and wage figures particularly.
Personnel Is Divided.
The board has a mixed personnel.
Some are strong antl-lndationiStS, while
others want to keep the ball rolling
They probably will confine them
selves to pointing out the problem
rather than giving service on remedies.
The most responsible officials leave a
neat way out for themselves in their
denials of imitation talk. The White
House spokesman offered his denials
only for the period until the N. r. A.
gets working" Acting Treasury Secre-
tary Acheson made his denial purely
personal He said it reflected only his
own view and not that Of the admins
tration. He is conservative opposed
to imitation.
The yarns being passed around that
they cannot think Of dollar revaluation
because it would hurt the Government
bond market really is hot weather
talk. The Treasury would make such a
gold profit out of dollar revaluation that
all speculation about budget balancing
would be ended.

Safe Dririing Hint
Backing

Here is a neat little trick usad
by many drivers who find it
mighty helpful in backing. Notch
or mark. the steering wheel so
that you can tell by its position
when the front wheels are abso-
lutely straight. This will help
you out of many a tight hole.
Always sound your horn before
backing. If your car is not equip
ped with a backing light. you
can use the stop light by press
ing yoLr foot on the brake pedal
just hard enough to make the
light glow.
Keep your rear window clean
and your rear-view mirror in
good position.
Needless to say, you must al
ways be sure the way is clear
Of other cars and pedestrians
before backing up.

Those who were whisper
ing a week ago that dollar revaluation
was just around the next corner are
humming a new tune. They infer that
perhaps the N. r. A. alone will pull us
out. Also that world prices may come
back to level where artificial stimu-
lation will not be necessary.
Nothing Is being said ofncially that
might prove embarrassing later on, but
the administration Is obviously trying
to stamp out imitation talk without
showing its own hand.
There is reason.

UTICA, N. Y, August 7.-Guns en-
tered the New York State milk strike,
in its seventh day, today. Strikers and
non-strikers carried them.
From Boonville came the report that
a caravan Of milk trucks, conveyed by
troopers, fred on 28 times between the
village and Lowville yesterday, was the
target Of q machine gun, not Of high
powered rides, as at first had been re-
ported. None Of the trucks was dam
aged.
A National Guard company at Water
town was equipped with tear gas bombs
and gas masks and was ready for i'm
mediate service II needed in the strike
zone. The sheriff's deputies were
guarding all Jefferson County milk
plants.
One man was shot, another threat
ened with lynching, two women beaten,
State trooper struck with an iron pipe
and several farmers injured by flying
clubs and stones yesterday.
Most Of the outbreaks came when
picketing farmers attempted to- dump
milk Of non-strike1, although there
were numerous clashes between strikers
and State troopers.
Virtually every member Of the State
police was on duty in the strike sectors
guarding milk plants and escorting milk
trucks from farm to market.
Telegrams PIE Up.
kilograms continued to pile up on
Gov. Lehman's desk asking him to call
out the National Guard. It was under
stood that he received word from sher-
ifs OF several counties informing him
that they were unable to handle the
situation with only local officers and
the details of State police assigned to
them.
Meanwhile, the State Milk Control
Board was firm in its refusal to aban-
don the classified price system and
guarantee the farmers a blanket price
Of Az cents quart for their milk
the program demanded by the strikers.
About $4,000 farmers are keeping their
milk at hone.
All milk trucks passing through the
strike areas were guarded by steel-hel-
meted State police. In some counties
many dairy plants have been closed for
several days. Others have had their
supplies cut in half So far, no serious
shortage of milk for home delivery has
been reported.
