FARMERS PAYMENT
||RU[|NG DUE SOON
Cabinet Board to Decide
Tuesday if Crop Checks Go
on Debt to U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's cabinet ad-
visory board will seek . solution on
Tuesday for the newest problem facing
farm administrators in carrying out
their extensive plans for curtailing pro-
duction Of farm crops.
1t was decided yesterday that the
board will be asked to determine
whether administrators will be required
to withhold amounts owed to the Gov
eminent by farmers who are scheduled
for benefit payments in considerat ton
| for agreements to cut their output.
The board will be given an opinion
prepared by Attorney General Cum
mings at the request of Secretary of
Agriculture wallace. Already this has
| been referred to President Roosevelt, on
| whose behalf the question has been
turned over to the board for determi-
nation.
| Payment Held Essential.
| Farm administrators regard as essen
tial to the success OF their program q
waiver Of the Governments claims for
| the time being. They desire such a
/ decision to make possible prompt for
warding Of checks to cotton growers
who have agreed to pillow up from rs to
50 per cent Of their crop. The checks
| are being withheld pending final ac-
ton. About 500, 900, 900 is scheduled
for distribution
Administrators desire the waiver also
| in order to assure acceptance by farm
ers of their domestic allotment plan for
wheat. The wheat campaign will be
under full headway in few weeks,
with about 1000, 900 scheduled for
| distribution this Fall
Administrators, however, have been
! advised from many sections that unless
obligations including seed, feed and
crop production loans are waived the
response will be luhewarm in some
| areas where farmers are heavily in
debted to the Government.
See Reduction Failure.
Likewise, they are anxious for the
waiver In connection with plans now
being developed for paying benefits to
tobacco, corn, hog and rice growers
Some administrators are convinced that
few farmers would consent to reduce
their acreage II their payments would
be withheld as an Offset to what they
owe
Protests against the delays in for
ward1ng cotton payments already have
been received. with farmers in some
| areas asserting that they we're assured
by campaign committees that they
would be paid cash without offsets. and
| that otherwise they would have refused
| to take areas Of their growing crop out
Of production.
Attorneys said the main bar to q
1ull waiver Is law enacted in 1875.
That statute is interpreted by some OH
cials as requiring that when Govern
ment payments are made, sums owing
the Government must be withheld.
Judicial Heads Silent.
Members Of the staff of the Attorney
General and The Farm Administration
who have studled it. together with other
laws bearing on the subject, refused to
discuss it pending the decision by the
advisory board. Others said they were
vague rs to its history and whether
subsequent legislation opened the way
Tor making an exception Of benefit pay
| ments.

"I think you will be interested
In the leading editorial" he
suggested and indicated the
proper page. Patricia glanced
at ttEs article headed '"The
Bridge Racket" Her face
turned a little pale. She read:
"The Bridge Racket"
'Bridge, no more safe from

lawn tennis, is becoming a
racket. A game that has been,
since its inception, the recrea-
ton of ladies and gentlemen IS

Npstarts and social chaos with
a growing invasion of sharp

Patricia with a sinking heart.

surprise, "You don't seem par

suddenly angry. Why should

July 10 was the anniversary Of
Annabeth Brady, Upper Marl-
boro, Md. We heard from
Annabeth a few days ago and
she asked us most reproach-
fully why we hadn't included
her in the good wishes.
She said:
"During my vacation I have
been helping on the farm and
going to the beaches. 1t was
there that I celebrated my
birthday July 10. Being an
old member I hoped to see it
in the column, but it wasn't
there. You must have over
looked it. I hope, however,
that it doesn't mean that you
have marked me off the list and
that I am not a member any
more"
OF course, Annabeth is still a
member. Once a. member OF
the Adventure Club you are in
for life. Annabeth's name was
not in our birthday book, and
the date of her anniversary
was not on her card. There
was some mistake somewhere.

SURE she had told us the date.

 THE THIRD DIVISION

In the interests of his candidacy for Judge of the Third Division, Attorney Harry F. Morton passed through the city Sunday enroute to Washington, D. C., and New York, where he will remain for possibly two or three months.
 Attorney Morton, who is presi- dena of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, said he would be happy to assist Seward in any way while in the East; that letters ad- dressed to Delegate-Elect to Con- gress A. J. Dimond, at Washing ton, will reach him.
 He feels that already Alaska is beginning to feel the effects of the incoming Democratic administra- tion in a helpful way and that the coming years appear extremely bright.
 Armed with the endorSatiOn of the Democratic party divisional support, Territorial backing and that of 12 Senators and other in- fluential men in the East and West, Attorney Morton is confi- dent of receiving the judicial ap- pointment in this division.
