ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPE-
CIAL, Aug. 8.-(UP).-Drouth-
embattled farmers of the west
Yesterday received the presidents
personal assurance of full govern
ment support in meeting condl-
ticns that are bringing economic
ruin to thousands.
Viewing for the first time the
effects of burning sun and lack
of rain on a vast expanse of once
rich terrain, the chief executive
confessed it was problem the
solution of which was unknown.
He added, however:
eff it is possible for us to solve
the problem, We are going to do
it." =.
For three hours, Mr.. Roosevelt
and party that included Governor
Ole Olson of North Dakota, Sen
ator Gerald Nye and Others. mo-
tored over roads that swirled with
choking alkali dust swept up from
the dry bottoms of what once
were lakes. He saw wheat, stub
bv shoots, that now only is good
for cattle fodder and wilted stalks
of corn that will never ripen.
What impressed the president
as much as the deplorable eco
nomic outlook was the contrast
ing cheerfulness of the thousands
of persons who flocked from miles
around to the rambling railroad
station at Devils Lake to hear
him speak.
They applauded frequently even
when in carefully chosen words ne
indicated distinct unfavorable
attitude toward the proposal that
$75,000,000 be spent in dammlne
Missouri food waters to provide
an adequate water supply for the
farms and cities.

TASK OF TRADE
COOLING IS near
COMPLETION
More Than 200 Agree
ments Ready for john
sons Signature
LEADERS ARE COLD TO
ADMINISTRATION PLAN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (UP)
NRA had virtually completed last
night the gigantic task of placing
American industry under the pro-
tecting wings of the blue eagle.
Officials have been codifying
industries at the rate of seven a
day since Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson on July II set 30-day
deadline in which to dispose of
262 pending codes.
Johnson found more than 200
agreements awaiting his signature
upon his return to the Capital last
night from his western trip. In
dustries not codified when the
time expires will be asked to sub
scribe to the proposed basic code
which carries restrictions on
hours, wages and prohibitions
against the use of child labor.
Few industries to date have
taken advantage of the invitation
to adopt basic code provisions, it
was learned. Business leaders APP
pear "cold" toward the offer which
carried a stipulation that the gen.
eral code authority was to be Sc
lected and paid by the govern
ment to administer its provisions.
Johnson is expected to confer
with President Roosevelt soon af-
ter the chief executive returns to
the White House on Friday. Out
of this conference is expected to
come some statement outlining
the future plans for NRA.
The administrator has recon-
mended to the president that a
commission be selected to admin
lister the recovery agency.

Suies Revealing Secrets
Under Order of Secrecy
in Future
OPEN HEARINGS ARE
ABRUPTLY HALTED

los ANGELES, Aug. s. (UP):
r-,...rrment spies who revealed
me secrets of the Silver Shirts,
an anti-Semitic organization, last
MONT were placed under a sec
ra7r order because of ''interna-
,ional complications" growing out
nj their testimony at a hearing
here.
Omen hearings before Con-
Gresham Charles Kramer OF Los
Angeles were abruptly ended.
Further sessions will be behind
rlosed doors. The dangerous
rraracter" of the evidence was
given as reason for the secrecy.
The evidence. touched upon
earlier by government informers
.r>;iiying at an open hearing
never will be made public IN view
Of its International character ac-
cording 10 the officials.
The Silver Shirts, who assert
edIv planned to overthrow the
federal government and expel all
Jewish office-holders, included
many soldiers. sailors and nation
al guardSmen in its members, r.
T. Gray. a government intormef'
testified.
Gray and Virgil Hays, former
marine corporal attached to the
intelligence unit, caused senSa-
tionS when they described activl-
ties of the Silver Shirts near San
Diego. HavS said he joined the
group year ago on orders Of
his SuperiorS and gained his in
formation while serving the Sill
yer Shirts as an instructor IN the
use of small arms.
He said that upon the over
throw of the government, the
groun planned to incorporate
the nation, giving each citizen q
share of stock which would real
lie a dividend of $50 a month.
This is known as the William
Dudley Pelley plan, he said.
Exhibiting scars on his face,
GRAY described attacks made on
4 him in San Diego when the Silver
y Shirts discovered his real iden-
& lity. First he was threatened and
then fired upon, he said. Three
weeks ago a band of five men
waylaid him and beat him sew
erely.
Gray charged that the Silver
Shirts, hearing of a commumstie
plot to seize the San Diego city
nal. and police station, conceived
a similar plan of their own. They
8 planned to carry it out last May
| when police were to have been
engaged in quelling a communist
outbreak, but this failed to ma

Judge Tells Noted
Artist He Should.
Grow Turnips'
Advises Harold Cash That's
Better Than Unsold
Sculpture

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug.
8.-(UP).-Judge Oscar Yarnell
thinks art for arts sake is "pure
and unaduIterated bunk" and
doesn't mind saying so from his
circuit court bench.
The judges comments on art
startled, the courtroom during the
trial Of a case in which the for
mer wife of Harold Cash, Chat
tanooga's internationally known
sculptor, sought custody of their
fve-year.old daughter.
Judge Yarnell ruled that the
child should remain in the care Of
the sculptor's grandparents and
then told Cash he ought to give
up his art and start turnip
patch.
"You ought to get your feet on
the ground and try something
else," the Judge barked.
"Any artist who can't cash in
on his work ought to start a
turnip patch"
The climax of the controversy
Judge Yarnells comments aroused
among local art lovers and friends
of Cash came when S. Barlow
Strang, prominent attorney, arose 4,
in the judges court and with az
the solemnity that makes a formal
motion, said:

court to a matter of much impor-
lance. Your Honor has become

well, wasn't born yesterday, as he
will find out. He pretends that he
went there this afternoon because he
was hungry, but he did it to avoid
going with me this evening. He'll
try the same thing tomorrow. He'll
find a surprise waiting for him. I'll
90 over there early in the afternoon
and hide. He probably is laughing
right now at the thought of how he
fooled me, but he who laughs last
has the best laugh and the last laugh
Is going to be mine. Smart, Is he?
I'll show him who is smart"
Now 1t happens that in this Reddy
was most unjust to Wigglenose, for
the latter really had gone to the
patch Of clover in the afternoon be-
cause he was hungry and couldn't
wait. He hadn't yet discovered
Reddy'S true character and still re-
garded him as a friend. But he was
beginning to do a little wondering.
He wondered why it was Reddy was
so anxious to go with him to that
clover. He wondered why Reddy
asked so quickly and eagerly at what
time he planned to go the next day.
He wondered just why It was he had
would or wouldn't and Reddy was
forced to 60 home without an agree
ment. He said good night as pleas
antly as usual, but once out of sight
and hearing he gave way to a bit Of
bad temper.

his long, sharp teeth. And the sum

Of all this wondering caused him TO

think he does" thought WigglenoSe.
But there is nothing like being sure
you're safe. II am hungry tomor-
row morning I'll go over there then.
and have q feeling that will be
hungry by that time. My, that clover
is good!"
Sure enough, the next morning he
was hungry. He wasn't in the habit
of going about at that time OF day
and Reddy had said truly that there
were more enemies abroad then than
after dark. But that clover wasn't
far away and he was quite willing to
take the chance. He would be careful
and keep sharp watch.
So the middle of the forenoon
found Wigglenose at the patch Of
clover eating his fill. He ate hur-
riedly. but he ate until he could eat
no more. Then he scampered back
home to doze and dream.
AS he had planned. Reddy Fox was
safely hidden near the patch OF clover
early in the afternoon. He waited pa
tiently for q long time. Then he
waited impatiently. Why didn't Wig
glenose come? Could 1t be that, after
all, he was wrong in thinking that
wigglenose had tried to fool him? AS
the long afternoon wore away he de-
cided that he must have been mis-
taken and that Wigglenose was watt
ing to go with him that evening.
So at the usual time Reddy ap-
peared at the bramble-tangle where
Wigglenose lived. He was sitting in
his form as usual.
"Well," said Reddy pleasantly, "did
you 60 for clover this afternoon or
am to have the pleasure Of going
with you this EVENING""
Neither" replied wigglenose in
some confusion. "You see, got hun

wasn't pleasant ut all.
