most important of the admins

tural Adjustment Administration,
generally spoken of as the AAA.

whether these measures were
sound or ill-advised, the future
course of the bureau viii take
very different lines.
Henry Wallace, secretary Of
agriculture. has said that the
AAA has done about as much for
the farmer as it can, and that fur

proved conditions an the :. urban
consuming regions. DR.. Tugwell
and Chester Davis. AAA admin
istrator. have recently said the
same thing. The AAA, apparent
ly, is through with pig killing and
cotton ploughing under.
The main reason for a change
now of AAA policies is due to
the fact that agricultural eeonom-
ic conditions have caught up with
city conditions. while, in the past,
the farmer was generally in a
worse position than the urban
worker. Officials believe that the
AAA has exhausted the POSSIBLE
ties of its past program. and
must choose a new tack for the
future.

SCHEDULE.OF
PRICES MADE
BY |N|LkM { n

At a meeting held last evening,
attended by all but one of the re-
tail milk distributors of Ell Centro,
milk and cream prices, to become
effective August 1, were established
by unanimous action of the as
sembled group. Under the new
schedule Grade A raw or pasteur-
lied milk not over AZ per cent will
be sold at retail, in stores or de-
livered on routes, for 10 cents per
quart. Milk testing over AZ per
cent will be priced at II cents per
quart. Pints will sell at 7 cents.
Cream prices remain about un-
changed
These prices are somewhat under
those established by Ell Centro's
citizens milk committee last No.
vember, which fixed the retail price
of milk at II cents per quart. In
the meantime, however, there has
been raging here disastrous milk
war, with any old price prevailing.
it is stated, and sometimes going
down almost to the vanishing point.
The basic price of 10 cents estab-
lished by dairymen last night, while
lower than the general price of milk
throughout the country, makes nev-
ertheless an improvement over the
situation which has prevailed in Ell
Centro for the past four months.
"The price schedule established
last night" said a prominent dis
tributor, "is the result of careful
consideration given to the respective
rights of the consumer, the distribu-
tor and the milk producer on the
ranch They all had to be consid-
cred, if an equitable schedule was
evolved. In stabilizing milk prices
in Ell Centre, a part of the bene-
fits, will of course be passed on to
the dairyman on the ranch, whose
plight in recent months has been
a sorry one. We feel certain that
the consuming public in Ell Centre
will be in hearty accord with the
August l schedule, which will tend
to give the dairyman producer
something of living wage for his
efforts on the ranch"

SAN FRANCISCO, July %. U.P)-
Disputing over technical matters
while thousands of tons of freight
pilsd up in Pacific coast ports, long
shoremen and shipownerS brought
new tension into the strike situation
today by their inability to reach a
back to work" agreement.
The new crisis led authorities in
several ports to plan direct actionsto
smash the strike blocade. Governor
Julius Meier of Oregon intimated he
will send HOO national guardsmen
to open the port of Portland Mon
day unless the dispute is settled
Mayor Joseph Carson of Portland
advised strikers only a handful of
pickets will be permitted in the wa
tesfront section.
The nub of the latest dispute is
the control of hiring halls. Long
shoremen insist they will not go
back to their jobs until the halls are
placed in neutral hands. Employers
ask to retain control of the hiring
places pending the federal arbitra-
ton which the longshoremen ac-
cepted.

VIENNA, July 28.-While govern
ment forces were busy crushing the
Austrian Nazi rebellion, Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss, victim of poll
tical hatred and assassination, was
accorded a royal funeral today.
In a setting as magnificent as
that of Austria's last emperor, the
strong men of the little chancellor's
dominant party gathered to eulogize
the lost leader and to demonstrate
their control over an inflammable
civil crisis. Meanwhile fighting be-
tween troops and NaziS continued
in the provinces.
The small city hall, wherein the
chancellor's body lay in state, was
banked with flowers. Wreaths sent
from every nation in Europe, and
masses of bright colored flowers
contributed by his friends filled
every corner of the old structure.
At 2:3O p. m, when the first cere-
monial began, every business acti-
vity in Vienna ceased, and every
wheel stopped turning. Railroad
trains were halted for two minutes.
Windows along the route of the fu-
neral procession were tightly closed.
Resistance to the government was
still reported in outlying provinces,
notably Carinthia, but each sue
ceeding report from commanders
of regular troops and heimwehr
soldiery told of the decreasing eff
fectiveness of the rebels, of their
dissolution, arrest, and in many in
stances, death.
Across the Italian border an i'm
pressive warning to Austrias enc
mics, were massed the powerful le-
gions of Mussolini, ready upon an
order from Rome to march over
the frontier to fight "for Austria's
independence.
The Nazi revolt seemed to have
lost cohesive leadership. Some OF
the organizations more fanatical
members were still in armed rebel
lion, marching along Carinthian
roads and firing Sporadically upon

Striking truck drivers rebelled to-
day against regulations of martial

guard officers ad as "Trotzkyites
by the strikers, were released with
orders to leave the city. They were
arrested in a district courtroom by
| soldiers carrying automatic ifles
| and held for several hours in g
guard house.
Newspapers of the city accepted
a mild form Of press control as a

important, part of martial law.

about a censorship on the basis OF

After the first brief, but impress

of the late chancellor's great pa

Radio carried his words to great
crowds masSed outside, and to the
entire nation.
His patriotism" Miklas said,
was all Austrian-but at the same
time he was all German in his 10y

and above all he was all German
in his courage"
He declared the little leader "un-
derstood all classes and was under

trian soldiers"
Miklas described the chancellor
as far-seeing statesman who died
for his ideals.
A silent crowd packed the streets
for four blocks near the city hall.
The crowd had waited for hours
for the ceremonies to begin.
At the conclusion of Miklas' eu-
logy, two army trucks, draped in
black moved out of the square,
bearing $50 floral Wreaths. They
opened the way for four more auto

which walked a small group of

VALLEY NEEDS
MORE TRUCKS

In an effort 10 get some imme-
diate action which will secure wa
ter trucks to haul water to valley
stock, wires, both telephone and
telegraph have been burned be-
tween here and Washington and
Sacramento during the past "a
hours.
Late yesterday a message was re-
ceived from Phil Swing in Wash
ington, D. c., to the effect that
federal authorities approved the
water hauling program as a proper
relief project and that word of this
was being sent to officials in San
Francisco by telephone.
This morning the following tele-
gram was received from Swing:
"Northrop advised Westbrook he
would furnish drivers if other pub
lie agencies will furnish trucks and
other necessities. This proves prof.
ect within federal regulations Nor
throp should also furnish mechan-
les. Advise if highway commission
will furnish trucks"
In answer to this, B. M. Graham,
chairman of the emergency water
commission sent a wire to Swing
this morning asking him to contact
Westbrook again in order that the
necessary trucks might be sent here
Just as soon as possible. An answer
to this telegram is expected some
time this afternoon.
Last night the emergency water
committee met again at the court
house and the entire session was
given over to a discussion of the
stock water situation. Efforts were
made to contact Northrop by tele-
phone last night but they were un-
successful, as were also those made
to get in touch with Senator Hiram
johnson to ask his aid in securing
