SURPLUS CROPS
To Be BOUGHT
FOR NEEDY
Presidents SIS, 900, 900 Relief
Plan to Be in Operation
Within Next 30 DAYS
Nv international News Service


President RooSevelt's $75.000,-
900 combination relief and surplus
crop disposal program got under
way today with the appointment
by Secretary of Agriculture WAL
lace of committee of experts to
handle the details.
After a conference with the
President, Wallace announced that
Chester Davis, of the production
division of the Agriculture Depart
ment, and l.. H. Bean, depart
ment economist, would start to
work Immediately on the program.
He hoped to have the plan in op-
Grafton within 80 days.
Davis and Bean will work In
close cooperation with an official
of the Federal emergency relief
organization to be named by Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins.
S75,OOO,OOO Set Aside
The program contemplates the
purchase of $75 100000 worth Of
beef, dairy and poultry products.
cotton, and cotton seed. After
this is purchased by the Agricul-
ture Department. Hopkins organ
iZation will distribute it to the des-
titute. The joint objects of the
program are to reduce the tre-
mendous surplus in American food
and staples as we'll as to provide
relief for the needy.
Wallace said there was a posi-
bility that some corn also would
be purchased.
The President is said to believe
this program, in some measure,
will correct what he views as a
basic economic reimbursement in
the American economic scheme.
With his aides, the President
considered the national economic
structure before acting. They
saw, on the one hand, land rich
in every necessity, and on the
other a considerable element un-
able to obtain food and clothing.
The combination surplus removal
and relief program was the re.
suit.
Loss to Be Shared
Agricultural recovery and Fed
eral relief funds will bear the
finance burden of the new pro
gram about equally in the end,
under the Presidents scheme.
The Agriculture Department will
spend the money first. Then
these purchases will be resold to
the Relief Administration under
Hopkins-probably at prices lower
than the cost of the products to
the Agriculture Department.
Some of the money thus ex-
pended will be returned to the
Government in the processing
taxes now operative. Finally,
however, the Federal Government
will bear considerable portion of
the loss.

program is being speeded to the
utmost consistent with safe prac-
tice in an effort to keep building
material moving and men en-
ployed.
All these schemes will be given
what is described as "the good
old college try" before there is
any tinkering with the currency.
Most of the Presidents closest
advisers, in and out Of Congress,
believe that in the end it will be
necessary to supplement these en-.
deavors with direct expansion of
the currency.
There was strong agitation for
it in the last Congress. They
wanted to make it mandatory
In the end a compromise was
reached by giving the executive
discretionary authority to initiate
when he deemed it necessary.
The power was not used. But it
remains in his hands.
Farm Prices Too Low
Southerners and Westerners
complain that commodity prices
for cotton. wheat, livestock, and
tobacco have not risen proper
tionately with increases in things
the producer has to buy. Cur
rency expansion is their cherished
remedy. In the end they believe
it will prove Mr.. Roosevelt's last
remedy.
The initiation storm will gather
force as the time approaches for
Congress to meet. Senator Har.
rison, chairman Of the powerful
Finance Committee. predicted a
few days ago that If the President
does not utilize the discretionary
powers Congress gave him. Con-
gress itself will act in January to
make it mandatory.
There the situation rests for
the moment, with most close OBJ
servers believing that initiation is
around the corner. How far away
that corner is may be debatable.

JafSie Handed Money
TO "John," a Foreigner
By DOROTHY DUCAS


NEW YORK, Sept. % QN.S0
A foreigner has been the object
of a man-hunt set in motion
by the kidnapping of Charles A.
Lindbergh, jr., ever since ransom
money was paid by DR.. John
"Jafsie" Condor to a shadowy
figure in a Bronx park.
This was recalled by police
here today when word Of the
arrest of three men in Antwerp
came.
The arrested men are said to
have named Dutchman who
gave them the bills with serial
numbers known to have been in
that paper-wrapped package.
If the money actually came
from a Dutchman, the possibility
OF his being the actual recipient
of the ransom money was plausi-
BILE, as DR.. Condor has said the
man, John" to whom he paid it,
talked with an accent which
might have been German or Scan
dinavian.
This is the description Of John"
which Jafsie gave to the police
back in those gruelling days when
he was searching police files every
where for a trace Of the elusive
possessor Of $4,000 paid to ran
som an already murdered baby:
"Age, 30 to 35: height, s feet

President Roosevelt was given
a vivid picture of destitution in
one of the Nations coal fields
by a friend just returned from
a visit among the miners.
The Presidents friend OBJ
served a nicely dressed woman,
apparently from another To-
cality, walking through the
streets of a mining town. She
appeared anxious to talk to
some Of the miners about con-
ditions there, and walked up
to a group.
AS the woman approached,
the miners dropped the long
tips of their caps over their
eyes. She asked:
"Why do you drop your cap
peaks when l walk up?"
There was an embarrassed
silence. She insisted, however,
and one of the miners told
her:
1--WE didn't know until you
got real near whether you were
some of our folks or not. 1t
was getting dark.
"YOu see, lots of the women.

LABOR CHARGES
RAW DEAL ON
NRA BOARD
Compliance Groups Stacked
Against Them, Union Heads
Are Said to Think

The future of local NRA COM
pliance boards, here and else
where, and the possible return OF
Lieut.. Kilbourne Johnston, son
of Brig. Gen. Hugh S. johnson,
to his Army post, are involved IN
protests by labor interests against
the board set-ups and the man
ner in which they were organ
ized.
It is no secret that the com,
plexion of the boards in general
is highly unsatisfactory not only
to organized labor but to the Ma
tional Labor Board, of which
Senator Robert F. Wagner Cd
of New York is chairman. Labor
considers that the boards are
packed" by opposing interests,
and the National Labor Board
feels that the compliance boards,
as creations of the Blue Eagle
division of the NRA, invade its
territory.
Complaints Are Many
Officials of the NRA closely in
touch with labor activities say
that many complaints have been
received and that more are on the
way.
Opposition to the compliance
boards is particularly keen in the
far West, it is said, for the reason
that the labor movements of those
States are highly militant.
General johnson today can
celled his customary Friday press
conference because of the fact
that he is suffering from severe
boil. In his absence no official
statement was forthcoming from
the NRA as to the status of COM
pliance boards or the alleged dis
satisfaction of the National Labor
Board regarding the compliance
boards.
JOhnsOn's Son Involved
However, the investigation con-
tinued on behalf of labor inter-
ests indicated that Cen Thomas
S. Hammond, head of the Blue
Eagle division, disclaimed respon-
sibility for the situation.
1t was the opinion in labor
circles that the set-up of the
compliance boards was worked
out by Lieutenant Johnston and
two of his NRA associates, John
Swope, son of Gerard M. Swope,
and Franklin S. Pollak, member
of a New York law firm.
Their organization of the COM
pliance boards, it was asserted,
places labor at so great a disad-
vantage that it would not accept
such boards, in many instances,
as mediatory agencies. In one
board, it was said, there was no
real representative of labor
whatsoever, the nearest approach
being foreman for steel COM
pany.

Howard H. Entz, antivaccina-

Cessfully today.
Entz was arrested yesterday,
charged with parking in Madison
Place Northwest in no-parking
area. He posted 81 collateral.
So Entz took out his trusty
camera and went bak to the scene
of the alleged crime, taking pic
lures to show that there was no
Official warning sign within 200
feet.
He arrived at traffic court TO-
day with the pictures. But then
he learned that police were going
to further charge him with NOV
ing and not having that fact re-
corded on his operators license,
so he returned the pictures to his
pocket and eleted to forfeit the
