Milo Reno Charges Betrayal of
Agriculturist by Admin

BY the Associated Press
DES MONIES, Iowa, May 3.-Milo
Reno, president of the National Farm
Holiday Association, charged today
that the administration has betrayed
the farmer and termed Secretary Wal
lace "the worst enemy the farmer has
ever had in an official position"
mo business in the Nation has suf-
fered so severely under the present
administration as agriculture, nor has
been so ruthlessly and cripinally be-
trayed," Reno asserted in an address
prepared for the national convention
of the Holiday Association.
Secretary Wallace has been the
worst enemy the farmer has ever had
in an official position" the holiday
leader said, reiterating previous criti-
ciSmS.
He has been in perfect harmony
with that group of political shysters,
of half-baked brain trusters, that
have used every effort to break down
and destroy the self-respect and self
reliance of the farmer"
He charged that the administration
had failed to keep campaign pledges
which Reno said won President Roose-
welt the support of the Holiday Asso-
citation.
Both the President and Wallace
have opposed vigorously consideration
of cost plus production to the farmer,
Reno charged.

dor Tsueno Matsudaira of Japan that
Great Britain has completed propo-
sails to restrict the importation of

1t was indicated the program was

of world competition between Great
Britain and Japan for trade markets.

In many areas japanese goods are

considerably and Japan has made
rapid strides forward in the textile
business, long mainstay of England.
The British are understood to be
alarmed at the spread of Japanese
trade through the colonies and

The British government has made
extensive .udleS OF the situation since
the breakdown of the London nego-

1t is understood that Runciman

Unless Japan offers some form of
settlement of the problem, it is un-

all efforts to ease the competition
between the two nations.
Runciman was reported to be ready
to inform Matsudaira that the re-
strictions on japanese importations
into colonies would take the form of
quotas on imports.

OVERTON URGES
ANSELL'S CUSTER
Would Bar Latter as Coun-
sci in Proposed Move
Against Himself.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

In surprise attack before the Sen
ate Elections Committee, Senator
Overton of Louisiana today entered a
motion that Gen. Samuel T. Ansell
should not be permitted to appear as
counsel before the committee for the
Women's Committee of Louisiana,
which is seeking the ousting from the
Senate OF both Overton and Huey P.
Long.
The committee took no action on
Overton's motion.
Gen. Ansell suggested that he would
like to have the hearing continued to-
morrow, but the chairman, Senator
George OF georgia, said that was i'm
possible. AS the matter stood, no de-
cision had been reached whether the
committee would proceed with the
investigation. Senator George said
he would call the group together with
in a few days to determine what
should be done.
Senator Overton based his motion
on a report of a House committee
made several years ago upon the es-
cape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
draft evader during the World War.
Senator Overton quoted from that re-
port, which attacked Gen. Ansell,
who served as counsel for Bergdoll.
The Louisiana Senator argued from
the report that Ansell should not be
permitted to appear before any court
In the District or before any COM
mittee of Congress as counsel.
AnseIl Answers Point.
Gen. Ansell, who during the World
war was acting judge advocate gen.
eral OF the Army, Immediately replied
vigorously to Senator Overton.
THE other Senator from Louisiana
attacked me on the floor of the Sen
ate" said Gen. Ansell. II thought 1
had recognized the inherent differ
ence between the two Senators from
Louisiana. I am surprised, therefore,
at the present attack delivered against
me by Senator Overton.
1T comes with i'll grace. Apparent
ly there is feeling on his part that
he must make terrific attack on me
in order to avoid himself what may
occur in the future"
Gen. Ansell told the Senate Com
mittee the report of the House Com
mlttee on the Bergdoll escape had
been entirely unfair to him. He said
he had challenged the writers of this
report to bring it up on the floor of
the House, and have it adopted or to
place it before the bar association of
which he was member. He said a
group of IL distinguished lawyers,
without consultation with him, made
comprehensive study of the whole
matter and that they had published
complete exoneration of me-"
Two of these lawyers, he said, are
professors at the Harvard Law School.
Gen. Ansell said that at the close
of the war there had been tremen-
dous hostility toward him because it
had been his duty to oppose the old
Army men, among them some of
his classmates at West Point. He
said he had stood throughout the
war in favor of allowing American
soldiers every constitutional right.
Afterward when he became counsel
for Bergdoll, he said he had con-
tended Bergdoll was not subject to
trial in a military court. but was
entitled to be tried by a civil court
in Pennsylvania.
He said he was in the position of
many attorneys who had run in op-
position to mob feelings and passion.

He congratulated Congress for not
enacting a sales tax as advocated by
the Hearst newspapers.
Couzens said the Senate conferees
had won a great victory over the
House. making its managers on the
bill accept nearly every major Senate
amendment except his own.
The Michigander said the 10 per
cent he proposed was not bite of

The tax bill as agreed upon by
Congress provides a normal income
tax rate of 4 per cent on all net in

first $4,000 and 8 per cent above that
figure in existing law.

credit is allowed for earned net in

Income surtaxes are raised. mostly
in the higher brackets, and the taxes
begin at lower figure than at present,

The new surtax schedule reduces
