Yesterdays spirited session in
Guided an address by Henry A. Wal
lace, United States secretary of
agriculture, and a fight over the
seating of State Senator E. Curtis
White, a Marion county delegate.
Speaking before the largest group
of farmers assembled for an In
diana bureau convention, Secretary
Wallace urged the farmers to pre-
sent united front in the legislative
battle for a sound commodity credit
act hooked up in sound way with
the agriculture adjustment act"
He said that the farmers we're en-
titled to control their output just
as manufacturers have regulated
their production. The crop reduc-
ton measures coming at a time of
disastrous drought have shown
that agriculture is a powerful force
in the return of prosperity, the sec
rotary declared. crop reduction on
approximately 25,O00,00O acres must
be continued next year, he said.
FavOrs Tariff Changes
Mr.. wallace stated that the next
congress must make tariff provisions
for an increase in industrial imports
so that foreign countries may meet
interest payment on debts and be
in a position to buy American agri-
cultural products.
The secretary particularly warned
his audience against groups which
will attempt to divide farmers by
irrelevant issues and to persuade
them that government contracts are
unnecessary.
Picturing greater future for the
American farmer, Secretary Wallace
said ION the whole the farmers
have lifted their vision higher than
ever before during the last year and

white Is UnSeated
Thanking the farmers for their
support in the recovery drive, the
speaker said that the next move
was for the corporations to open
their factories and produce goods
which could be bought in the do
nestle market at a price farmers
and others could afford to pay.
The fight over Senator White led
to his being unSeated. Charles E.
Littler, Marion County Farm Bureau
president, who claimed that he was
the duly elected delegate, also was
excluded. Election of officers was
moved up from yesterday to tomor-
row.
Governor Paul V. McNutt de-
clared that farm recovery must be
in the van of general recovery and
predicted that within the next two
years property taxes will be reduced
$7,300000 in addition to the cut of
$92,0O0,0O0 in the last two years.
Lauds Roosevelt Policies
Chester A. Gray, Washington
representative of the American
Farm Bureau, praised the present
national administration for coming
to the aid of the farmer. He said
that government spending of vast
sums would continue for two years
longer and that the crop reduction
program will take from ten to
twenty-five years. Mr.. Gray stated
that the AAA would be strength
ened by the next congress and
would be adopted as a permanent
piece of legislation.

suit Of the court decision placing
little Gloria in the custody of her
aunt.
The court decision, making Gloria
a ward Of the state, placed her in
the custody of Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney, except for weekendS, the
month of July and Christmas day.
Mrs Vanderbilt plans to appeal the
decision.
Meanwhile it became known that
the decision may reopen the oues-

the possibility that Mrs. Vanderbilt
might be deprived of the income she
kdd received as mother of Gloria.

was to be used for maintenance of
the child.

ton throughout the country and in
London, Paris and other European
capitals where all litigants are well
known-Mrs. Vanderbilt as the gay
widow of Reginald Vanderbilt-Mrs
Whitney as the widow of Harry
Payne Whitney, internationally ia
nous sportsman and one of the
richest men in the world
Mrs. Vanderbilt was too shocked
and diSmayed to issue an immediate
statement beyond assurance that
she would appeal the decision ito
the highest court, if necessary" Her
friends let it be known that she
believed she had been deprived of

cause why the arrangement should
be changed.
Shocked Into Silence
Mrs. Whitney received the press
in her palatial Manhattan town
house, served Cigarets and refresh

statement that her only thought
from the very beginning had been
for the child's welfare.
Justice Carews decision made one
concession to the wishes of the
mother. She had pleaded that as
Roman Catholic she wished her
child brought up in that faith. Mrs.

The Grace Line mas place the

four new de luxe liners, in

The Santa Lucia will be the

Clara and Santa Maria she will
provide fortnightly express Serv-
ice, while the Santa Barbara,
Santa Rita, Santa Elisa and

I'VE are hopeful that a new
era is at hand in trade with
Latin America and that the ad-
dition of the Santa Lucia to our
express and cabin services will
assist it in Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru and Chile.
ut has always been our policy
to provide facilities somewhat
in excess of immediate needs, in
the belief that additional trade
would thereby be stimulated.
Few markets were harder
hit by the depression than those
of the West Coast of South
America but during the last six
months there has been q graft
flying increase in commercial
activity in Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru, Chile and Bolivia. The

service throughout the depres-
sion, although European lines
either abandoned or curtailed
service.
