Drought Relief Urged

WASHINGTON, June GA sew
en-point program for drought re-
lief calling for an appropriation of
$525, 100000 was transmitted to
congress today by President Roose-
welt.
st believe the present emergency
can effectively be met by the ap-
preparation of $525,000,O0O," the
chief executive wrote in a special
message, the last of such communi-
cations expected to be submitted to
the present session.
l. $125,OOO for special work and
human relief.
2. $75,0OO,O00 for livestock pur-
chase in addition to the funds al
ready available under the Jones'
Connally act.
3. 100000 for shipping, pro-
ceSsing and relief distribution Of
purchased cattle.
4. 100000 900 for loans to farmers
to finance emergency feed purchases
and shipments.
5. $50,000,000 for emergency &C
QUESTION of submarginal farms and
assistance in relocating destitute
farm families.
6. $50,000,000 for work camps to
afford employment in the drought
area for young men, principally
from cities and towns.
7. $25, 100000 for purchase of seed
for 1885 paintings, and for loans to
get seed into farmers hands.
Asks Flexible Law
Of the sum requested, Mr.. Roose-
velt explained that "only such por-
ton, of course, will be used as be-
comes absolutely necessary. We are
dealing with a rapidly changing
problem, and it is important that
the authorization should be flexible
so that funds can be allotted to the
several federal agencies as re-
quired."
Pointing out that while prompt
and vigorous action already has
been taken by the administration to
meet the emergency existing in at
least fifteen states of the middle
west, the President observed:
Future rainfall can not restore
more than small part Of the dam
age to crops and livestock. An
especially serious problem has de-
veloped because, while there is no
prospect of shortage of human food,
shortage of animal feed threatens
over wide area
Future Needs Forecast
This" he said, sis causing losses
to farmers and regions dependent
upon the livestock industries. Large
scale assistance by the federal gov
eminent is necessary to protect peo-
pie in the stricken regions from
suffering, to move feed to livestock
and livestock to feed, and to acquire
and process surplus cattle to provide
meat for relief distribution"
The President explained that the
seven-point program was evolved
after a conference with members OF
congress from the affected regions
He added that organizations already
exist in the agriculture department
the federal emergency relief admin
istration and the farm credit adj
miniStration to carry on the emer-
gency program.
These wholly tentative esti-
mates, he concluded, "have beer
made on the basis of present and
probable conditions"

Mike Tighe, president of the
Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
told Johnson he and fellow
unionists could not act until
authorized by the convention.
He said the convention al
ready had been called.
He invited johnson to attend and
outline his arbitration offer. The
administrator said he may, but his
plans are indefinite.
A majority of the unionists were
described as unalterably opposed
to the mediation plan, chief among
them the so-called rank and file
committee which has been trying to
enlist President Roosevelt's support.
johnson drew down the wrath of
the rank and filers when in an adj
dress last night he answered earlier
criticism of his efforts by saying:

ing colonel of my early service, old
GreaSer Hughes, I have worn
enough skin off the part of me that

Meet With Johnson
Today the eighteen and their
leader, Tighe, met with johnson
face to face. johnson said he would
explain his plan for the arbitration
board which would undertake to
settle all disputed matters of COL
lective bargaining, union recogni-
ton, discrimination and such.
johnson maintained he had no
intention of arguing with the labor
representatives.
He feels that the industry has
yielded as much as can ever be
expected. The plan, he said, "is
practically my prescription" for
ending the bitter trouble over the
steel code.
Tighe, too, conceded that the in
dustry had made important conces-
Sions.

LONDON, June 9-The earl of
LonSdale, Great Britain's premier
sportsman, a fellow knight of the
Garter with eight kings, was on
record today as confessed stage
coach bandit.
English people knew he had done
almost everything and only mild
sensation was caused when, as prin-
cipal speaker at dinner in honor
of American rodeo performers last
night, he waved his black cigar
deprecatingly and said:
Il helped to hold up the Denver
stage coach in the 1905. Some of
my friends LEFT one day to hold up
the coach and accompanied them"
He passed on to other topics
casually. Afterward he was asked
to amplify his statement. He flicked

Times staff Writer

SEYMOUR, June 9.-Misfortune
followed John Pfaffenberger-Sey-
mour patrolman slain by three
young thugs several days ago-even
to his grave.
Frustrated with grief, his widow
Mabel and their five children
learned today that a city compen-
sation plan to provide for the fam
lilies of peace officers slain in line
of duty was abolished four days be-
fore Mr.. Pfaffenberger was killed.
And as sympathetic neighbors
moved through the modest five
room cottage where the body of Mr.
Pfaffenberger lay at rest in a plain
oak casket, the widow told a Times
reporter that even their modest life
insurance policy had been permitted
to lapse because of financial diff
cultieS.
eff all the young men who are
leading lawless lives, robbing peo-
pie and killing policemen with
families, could see our plight, I am
sure they would think twice before
killing innocent men," said Mrs
Pfaffenberger.
Five Children Survive
Around her the five children
Harold, IL; Desmond, g.; Clifford, Z;
Kenneth, 6, and Melba Jane, 4
watched the funeral activities in the
house with wondering eyes. Only
Harold and Desmond seemed tc
comprehend the significance of the
sad event.
The widows toil-Worn fingers
brushed tears from her eyes as she
told OF the heroic death of her hus-
band at the hands of Edward Cot
fin, Greenfield, and his gang now on
trial at Jacksonville.
Never Had a Chance
"They didn't give poor dad a
chance" said Mrs. Pfaffenberger.
when he stopped their car to ask
them why they hadn't paid for some
gas they bought downtown, they
opened fire Immediately. One of
the bandits fired four shots at poor
John as he was lying on the ground.
"And they killed Mr. Amick, the
deputy sheriff at Underwood, few
minutes later in the same way. He
is married, too, and has dependents
including his aged father and
mother. I don't know what the
world is coming to-"

plates on another bet.
He is n now and almost revered
in England. On the occasion of his
golden wedding anniversary in 1928
a national subscription was raised
to buy him gold chest. 1t turned
out to be a world wide subscription
and $1,750, 1000 was raised. The money
left over, naturally almost all, went
to charity.
He still seems young and attends
all sporting events. He is also a
famous speaker. A few years ago
when his income dropped suddenly
he was asked for $1,000 by a charity
he is interested in. He did not have
the money at the moment but went
on a three-day speaking tour and
earned it.
