URGE FARMERS
To COOPERATE

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 81. W.P)-
Strict government RECOMMENDATION of
agriculture may result from failure
of. farmers voluntarily to control
crop production, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace warned today.
''This we do not relish," he said.
In an address to the Wisconsin
state college of agriculture, Wallace
counseled farm leaders, especially
in the dairy industry. to leave the
ranks of "rugged individualiSts.
"Thus far he said, "we have
evidence that the cooperative spirit
at its best is broadening and TAX
ing deeper roots under the volun-
tary plan to which the agricultural
adjustment act is geared.
eff that evidence fails to develop
further with additional basic COM
modify campaigns. we may be
forced to consider the method ad-
vocated by the mid-western COVER
nors last November compulsory
adjustment on regimented, Ii
censed basis.''

marketing agreements because of
appeals from producers and, in the
case of Chicago, by threat of strike.
Wallace said. 1t soon discovered,
he lamented, that its fears concern
ing inability properly to enforce
them ''were all too promptly full
filed
Substantial relief for the dairy
industry, he asserted, can be afford
ed only through production control
campaigns predicted on consumer
purchasing power not through
marketing agreements . alone nor by
means of increases in tariffs and
other restraints Of competition from
substitute products.

Will Appeal
AAA Decision

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. U.P) -
The decision of a federal judge in
Florida holding the Agricultural Ad-
Justment act unconstitutional will
be appealed Immediately, officials OF
the department of agriculture said
today.
Pending review by higher courts
the decision will not affect AAA op-
erations, except in the Florida judi
cial district, it was said.
The decision was made by Judge
Alexander Ackerman in Tampa
Fla. He granted citrus growers an
injunction restraining enforcement
of crop proration. Judge Ackerman
based his decision ON his interpre-
tation that there was no constitu-
tional basis for giving the secrc-
tary of agriculture powers over an
individual.

TREACHERY Of ICE BARRIERS

ice front and forced the ship to
move.
Wide cracks opened south of the
vessel. Masses of ice drifted down
on her. She maneuvered back to
the edge again this morning but
was driven off, this time beset by
ice. The ship maneuvered rapidly
through the ice but for few min
uteS it was 'touch- -and-go' as tC
whether she would be damaged.
When the ship manages to get
alongside the ice, the unloading
proceeds swiftly. Ice tractors come
across from Pressure camp, the
first base of supplies which is now
menaced, and move the supplies in
land beyond the ever widening
cracks.
Men OF tine shore and ashore
stumble across the after Well-deck
down the gangplank and to the ice
bearing heavy loads on their backs
On the bridge, Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd and Commodore
Ghertsen watched progress of un-
loading today and also kept a close
watch on the crumbling ice. They
were particularly anxious concern
ing the encircling movement of
masses of loose ice floating in the
bay.
Cracks Widen
Cracks in the ice. which this
morning were only a few inches
across, tonight were spread to a
foot or more. Many of these cracks
run across the region where Pres
sure camp is located.
A long, rolling submarine swell
has been heaving up the flooring of
the bay. A grinding noise accom-
panies the breaking of the ice.
The greatest danger to the Rup-
pert came when Ghertsen and Byrd
held the ship until the last possible
moment to unload on the crumbling
ice.
The encircling ice had closed in,
but an opening for escape remained.
Ghertsen shouted an order to back
the ship out. 1t was apparent her
stern sheets, the most vulnerable
point, would not clear the ice.
With the wheel hard over, she
made a wide circle, stopped and
came on again, still hard over. Then
she came about, her port side to
the ice, and Ghertsen swung the
Telegraph to full speed.
The port quarter struck with a
reeling impact against the ice. The
vessel trembled. But the submarine
ledges of ice fell sharply at this
point and the Rupert cleared the
narrow passage and was safe in open
water. In half an hour the ice
completely closed behind her.
The first autogyro to be used in
the Antarctic was put ashore late
yesterday and young Bill McCor-
mick flew it TO Little America.

Dead Rabbit
Very Much Aliue

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 81. U.P)
The spectacle of an apparently dead
rabbit bounding into life after re-
ceiving a hypodermic injection gave
local medical circles subject for
discussion today.
Members of the Jackson county
medical society last night watched
an exhibition by Miss Pearl Moor
man of Joplin, Mo-, originator of a
new method of terminating anaes-
thesia, which she calls palinesthe-
sia
Ether was administered to a rab-
bit until deep unconsciousness re-
suited. Hydrochloric acid was then
injected into the vein of an ear.
The rabbit kicked, squealed and
jumped to its feet. After an inject
ton in the other ear, it scampered
about the floor
The treatment was developed on
the theory that anesthesia makes
the blood more alkaline and hydro
chloric acid reverses the process.
Many see in the development
hope for reviving humans overcome
by gas who would die under. present
methods of resuscitation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. U.P) -
President Roosevelt today reduced
by proclamation the gold content OF
the American dollar to 5905 plus
percent of its gold content of 25.8
grains nine-tenths fine. He offered
to buy all gold offered to the Uni
ted States government at a price of
$35 per ounce.
President Roosevelt signed the
proclamation at $40 p. m. today.
setting the new gold content of the
dollar at Is 5-21 grains of gold
nine-tenths fine. This was equiva-
lent to the 59.06 cent value set on
the dollar as compared with the old
gold value
The proclamation was issued un-
der the gold reserve act of 1884
signed by the President yesterday.
Under the plan a slash is made in
the gold content of the dollar in
the hope that domestic commodity
price advances may be promoted
and to protect American commerce
from foreign raids.
In announcing the proclamation,
the President read the following ex-
planatory statement:
THE new gold content of the
dollar became effective the moment
I signed the proclamation.
The secretary of the treasury
with the approval of the President
has issued a public announcement
that beginning Feb. l he will buy
through the federal reserve bank
of New York as fiscal agent for the
account of the United States, any
and all gold delivered to United
States mint or assay offices in New
York or Seattle at the rate of $35
per fine troy ounce, less the usual
mint charges and less one quarter
of one per cent for handling char
geS.
Speed Desirable
The purchase is to be in compli-
ance with regulations and to con-
tinue until further notice"
| The President in notifying news
papermen OF dollar revaluation
made it clear that he was wasting
no time in giving the news to the
| public.
He explained the reason for haste
was that the gold market in the
United States remains open until
$50 p. m. and he was desirous OF
| Americans obtaining whatever ad-
vantages might accrue in transac-
tions, rather than wait for tram
sactions to open in the European
market tomorrow.

The deadline for participation by

age control campaign, due tomor-
row, has been extended to Febru-
ary Is and qualification require
ments have been liberalized to in
clude smaller producers.
Because unavoidable delays have
developed Secretary of Agricul-

was extended to give growers "ade-
quate opportunity" to benefit from
the government program. He an
nounced a ruling that reduces the
minimum lint production per acre
requirement of from 100 pounds to
rs pounds, thus making land which
produced an average of over rs
pounds of lint per acre during tn'
base period eligible for inclusion in

Federal unemployment insurance le-
gislation, being urged by Secretary
of Labor Perkins in a series OF
speeches. is unlikely to be enacted
this session, Speaker Rainey said to-
day.
Rainey and other house leaders
emphasized that unless President
Roosevelt directly proposes action
on controversial proposals now be-
ing woven into bills, every effort
will be made to avoid such legisla-
tive "hobgoblins" in the way of early
adjournment of congress.
Listed among the proposed legis-
lation which the leadership is anX-
iouS to shunt aside are:
l. Broad communications merger
proposals, such as embodied in Pre-
sident Roosevelt's interdepartmental
committee report.
2. Stock market regulation.
3. Unemployment insurance, old
age pensions and the 80 hour week
4. Silver reconciliation.
The aim of house administration
leaders is to clear up necessary le-
gislation, such as appropriation bills
and measures specifically recon-
mended by the President, as soon az
possible so the house can sit back
and let the senate bear the burden
of responsibility for delaying the
end of the session.
