from bullet wounds inflicted by the
man he tried to rob, according to
police.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, May 81. U.H-
Confident of the success Of their
conversion of Bulgaria into a Fas-
cist state, cabinet ministers under
Premier Kimon Gheorghieff today
began formation or a new parlia-
ment along Italian lines, with po-
litical parties supplanted by guilds.
1t was revealed that the coup by
which the new government seized
power Saturday had been planned
Cor six months, and that when
soldiers took control Gheorghieff
and the political an military men
backing him were ready with
complete program of government.
Unlike the Fascist revolutions In
Italy, Austria and Germany, the
coup here seems to have been
planned and directed almost ex-
elusively by army officers. They
became tired. they said, of the ar
gumentS of politicians. They took
King Boris into their confidence
and made him their figurehead.
Continued efforts to suppress the
strong Communist movements In
the country we're certain. Only
few hours after the new regime as
sumed power, soldiers and police
we're searching throughout the city
for Communists and other poten-
tial opponents.

VICTORY FOR CALIFORNIA
This State Alone In Opposing
Arizona Effort To Build Up
Case For Future Use.

kilograms received today from
Washington by Attorney D. B. Rob-
erts, advised that Arizona has re-
ceived a setback from the United
States supreme court in its effort to
perpetuate testimony relative to its
claims to water rights on the Colo
RADIO river.
A dispatch from Charles Elmore
Cropley, clerk of the court, states:
Arizona against California, leave
to file bill denied today"
Howard Ely, associated with Cali
fornia counsel in the case, also sent
a telegram stating: Court denies
Arizona motion for leave to file
The decision of the court, Roberts
pointed out, is a complete victory
for California.
This state was the only one OF
the Colorado river basin stNes to
oppose the efforts of California in
perpetuating testimony regarding its
rights, the other states in the basin
remaining neutral.
Volumes of testimony have been
taken in recent months at various
places in Arizona's efforts to build
up a case for itself SO that if &C.
casion warranted at some future
date, it would be protected in any
litigation concerning Water rights
on the Colorado.
It's action for leave to file bill
with the supreme court was made
several weeks ago and decision upon
it has been awaited with interest
by officials of the Imperial Irriga-
ton District, the Metropolitan Wa
ter District and other parties direct

COAST STRIKE
Longshoremen And Ship Own
ers Refuse To Bulge From
Respective Positions.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 81. UP
Two determined groups-the $4,000
Pacific coast longshoremen and
their ship-owning employers-kepl
coast shipping in almost complete
paralysis today by their refusals to
concede ground on recognition OF
the International Longshoremen's
| Association.
Federal mediators, led by Edward
F. McGrady, assistant secretary OF
labor, admitted prospects of an
early settlement are poor, but plan
ned further conferences with the
disputants today.
The threat of a months shutdown
on all coast shipping activity was
heard after shipowners met here
The employers refused to confirm
the report but they said an import
ant announcement" can be expected
soon. Workers countered with dis
cussions of general strike, affect
ing every organized craft associated
with the shipping industry.
Either move would affect all ships
except those holding mail contracts
1t would mean stagnation of many
industries. 1t would produce food
shortages in communities dependent
on water transportation. And il
would cause a severe setback to
President Roosevelt's recovery
movement.
While efforts to efefct arbitration
of the bitter dispute were in pro-
gress, the waterfrontS in the princi-
pal ports remained quiet. No moves
were made in Portland or Seattle to
load or unload cargoes. Some ships
were cleared from San Francisco
and Los Angeles by strikebreakerS.
SAN PEDRO, Calf, May 81. (U.P,
Eleven ships were frozen tC
their docks today and the movement
of 80 others was made uncertain by
the strike of local longshoremen.
The Matson liner Lurline sailed
on schedule for Hawaii yesterday
but the Monterey, also of the Mat
son line, was tied up for an indefin-
ite period after arriving from Aus
tralia. Officials of the Sailors Union
claimed the crew agreed to strike
but Matson agents said they re-
ceived no word of walkout. Pas
sengers for San Francisco were pro-
vided rail transportation to theil
destination.
The only large ship to clear port
yesterday was the Panama -Pacific'S
Pennsylvania.
Seeking to keep Communists from
the strike zone, police held l3 mer
and women on suspicion Of criminal
syndicalism. They were arrested ir

have pointed out how the wide

into the hands of SPECTATORS in farm

the consumers dearly. In broad terms,
the act provides for protection of con-
sumers, authorizing the administration
to give publicity TO attempts to impose
excessive burdens upon the consumers
Of products of the farm.
The game Of the speculator is 10
buy cheaply from the farmer and sell
dearly TO the consumer. II Is q game
which Is played better under cover
than in the open. Our Consumer
Counsel's use Of publicity viii help to
bring any such game that may be at

usually believe In fair play. They do

up and put into grains.
One big objective Of the agricul-
turaI adjustment act has been to
get these lands out Of production OF
recurrent grain surpluses back into
grass. Through the wheat, corn-hog
and other programs. q long start has
been made In this direction. Such
an adjustment proves its Importance
IN this year Of drought, because un-
der the baking sun the grain would
not have matured and the farmers
greatest need Is for animal forage
which Is being grown on o much
increased scale as a result CT this
planned shift in production
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration has encouraged plant
ing Of the contracted acres TO ero-
sion-preventing crops-the best in
surance against dustStorms-and to
types of pasture and forage grasses
which are drought resistant, or spring
up quickly when there Is q little
rain. The A. A. A. work has added
many millions Of acres TO the area
in forage this year. In addition, in
the high producing areas Of the
South, outside the drought region

voted to production Of surplus cotton

In The world. In this year OF drought

pendent upon farm buying power VIII
share in the great benefits Of this in
surance Farmers VIII not be driven
of their farms. but can resume pro-
duction next year.
A second way which the agricultural
adjustment act helps farmers to help
themselves Ia through the acquiSi-
ton of surplus live stock. These great
surpluses, accumulated on farms due
to falling prices, expose many ami
mails TO starvation now that the
drought has undermined the supplies
Of feed to maintain them. The A. A.
A. right nov is buying these surplus
cattle, 50 that instead Of starving,
the animals are conserved and con-
verted into meat. This Is being proc
essed for relief distribution by the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
ton.
This not only preserves, by canning
and cold storage, o food supply which
otherwise would be lost, but 1t also
protects the price structure Of live
stock for farmers, outside as well as in
side the drought areas, by purchase of
animals which otherwise would glut
the market with the rush TO sell stock
that cannot be fed.
Thus the cattle growers, who after
hesitation for O year finally had cat
tie made basic commodity in the
adjustment act, by 80 doing made
provision for an emergency which
could not then even be foreseen.
In the past few days. the impor-
tance Of having the broad powers OF
the act available when adjustments
suddenly became necessary has been
driven home To Us In still another
way.
Dried-up Western ranges, heavily
stocked with sheep, have suffered
from too close cropping and now there
is danger of big losses to both range
and animals.
Sheep Buying Considered.
Appeals have been made TO the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton to extend the cattle-buying pro-
gram TO include sheep. For several
days the Adjustment Administration
has been giving consideration to a
plan to purchase 5,0o0,0 900 sheep, as
q conservation adjustment measure
wholly justifable by conditions. But
sheep never were made a basic COM
modify In the adjustment act, and
now q question has been raised as to
whether funds are legally available
to the Agricultural Adjustment ADJ
nlinistration with which to purchase
sheep. This question is now before
the controller general for a decision.
However, the facilities Of the act in
making unforeseen adjustments and
meeting emergencies are clear, and
there could have been no doubt of
our ability to help meet the sheep
situation If sheep had been named
among the basic commodities Of the
act.
Funds obtained by farmers from
benefit payments or cattle purchases
help them to keep their foundation
herds, which otherwise they might
lose, or TO hold seed so as TO plant II
as grain next year, which they might
have to use up as feed.
The Farm Credit Administration Is
performing immense service In maxi
ing loans for feed and seed, and to
finance shipments Of good breeding
live stock to grazing areas. or to pay
for carrying feed into the drought
country to them. The Department Of
Agriculture Is acquiring supplies Of
seed, 50 that high-bred and acclimated

he was when prices hit their aIl-ttme

The adjustment program win be I'm
proved rs time goes on. But it has
helped farmers meet both their sur
plus and their drought problems. and
In its fundamentals is one that farm
ers can stick to IN fair weather and
foul, because 1t helps them. through
their united efforts, to check the con-
sequences CT painful swings from one
violent extreme to another.
So the agricultural adjustment act
has been essential In the Roosevelt
administrators mobilization Of all its
resources-not to stop the drought, be-
cause that was impossible, but for q
social effort to minimize the disastrous
consequences Of calamity and 10 assure
recovery in the future.
Those of us in Washington who are
working long hours in the effort to
meet this great national emergency
feel confident that we have the over
whelming support OF American farm
erS. New evidences Of that are avail
able daily, and II Is indeed heartening
to know that there Is an intelligent,
sympathetic understanding upon the
part Of the farmers, as well as other
groups.
