 The dust was unacceptable. It sifted through the double walls of the barn and made the air almost unbreathable. It was like emery dust. My lungs still ache

 Streakcd Over in Sheets
 Tn the next few hours tle storm thickened and thinned alternately several times. Between me and the sun the dust streaked over the plains in sheets. In an interval of light I saw a chickens head pro- truding from drift and pulled the bewildered bird free.
 The remainder of the trip to Clayton was frightful. While in the barn two feet of dust had drifted against the car. Driving was by in- stinct. Once I ran into a ditch that had been filled with dust.

 It seems tragically casual to re- port that the dust mantle has stified crops over millions and millions of acres In the southwest. But the men who own the land are not beating their breasts. Many, like Donaldson, who owns 1000 acres of land near Stratford. have quit the fight. Donaldson fought the reluctant earth eight years. drought another two.

 Research Work
 City planning research work, he said, has been under consideration for long time. As for the work of completing the sewage disposal plant, he admitted that $700.000 would take care of this project. He said, though, that the city has not tied itself up to such a project to date and also that the city has not agreed to construct $30,000 gym. naBium at Driggs school. The plans submitted to Senator Lonegran, he pointed out, are those of Miss Ele- amor Little, state EZRA adminis- trator.
 It is expected that the local of- ficials and Mir Harris will confer within the next few days to 70 over the entire situation and map 'out a program of public improve. ments 50 as 70 give the city the benefit the new grant.

grave complications. Italy, mobil- izing colonial forces, had sent many troops to her African col onies and concentrated large war materials not far from the Etho- plan frontier.
 Italy has sought to arbitrate under a separate treaty with ARbyssinia. The latter insisted the negotiations should be through the League of Nations.
 Will Help Germany
 Geneva, April Is -- (UP)--The Scandinavian nations started a strong movement at the council session of the League of Nations today to placate Germany and tone down a strong French resolution rebuking the Reich.
 Peter Munch, Norwegian foreign minister, on behalf of the 6candi- navian nations. conferred with Sir John Simon. British foreign sec. retary. and urged vague resolu- ton not condemning Germany.
 The council, after a private ses- sion lasting only an hour, ad- journed until II a. m. tomorrow, when 1t will discuss the French appeal.
 Tending toward the same gen. eral objective, high British circles indicated fear that the Anglo Italian declaration of cooperation made at Stresa would be misin- terpreted in Berlin as a threat to the Nazi government.
 In order to clarify this, 1t was emphasized that "it was not a promise of assistance to France but a mutual arrangement"
 There Is nothing on this sub ject that has been suppressed or concealed" it was said.

 similar to the military treaties now being negotiated and aimed actu- ally at Germany.
 Worked by General StafYs The two-nation treaties are to be worked out by general staffs, and are supposed not to become effective until the powers h a v e negotiated the proposed five-power air defense league treaty which would include Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and Germany. After direct treaties have been negotiated between the powers named, including Germany if possi- ble, it was believed that France next would negotiate direct treat ies with Russia, Czechoslovakia and Jugoslavia, to be incorporated with military treaties under the eastern European, Danubian and other treaties envisaged.
 It is indicated that these trea- ties will be worked out while the powers arrange for their Danubian conference in Rome, late in May, and q presumably big, all inclusive conference later, probably at Lon- don, at which Germany would be represented.
 Attack On Germans
 Neustadt, Polish Corridor, April 15- UP) Hundreds of windows were smashed, shots fired and Ger man speaking citizens assaulted today in an anti-German demon- stration. Several hundred persons, led by the borgomaster, paraded in man minority in this part of Po- land. Similar demonstrations occurred in the village of Kelin katz, near Zoppot. Three Germans were gravely injured there and taken to hospitals. The outbreaks followed meetings at which the treatment of the Polish minority in Germany was denounced.
 Ncustadt is in the center of the Corridor, the narrow strip of land which was taken from Germany after the war and given to Poland to provide an outlet to the sea. It divides East Prussia from Ger many proper, and it has been thorn in Germany's side ever since it was created.
 Berlin Holds Jacob
 Berlin, April 15-(UP)-Switzer- lands demand for the return or Berthold Jacob. anti-Nazi German kidnapped on Swiss soil by Nazis and taken into Germany, was fe- jected today by the German government.
 The German government in- formed the Swi iss legation that Jacob would continue to be held in custody and would be tried m Germany. The incident has threat ened serious complications due to Swltzerland's strong protest.
 It was expected the trial will be before the peoples court, which can infict the death penalty.
 Switzerland's demand was re- jected on the ground that Jacob was brought into German territory without the help of German quo thorities. It was argued that the kidnapping was done by private persons, but now that Jacob Is m Germany, he Is subject to trial.

 Soon after Capone was convicted, accountants, department of jus tice agents and internal revenue employees began preparing the vol luminous material that will form the governments exhibits in the Flegenheime trial.

Ahearn, alias Frank Ryan. described by federal authorities as his lieutenants. If convicted on all II counts, Flegen- heimer could Be sentenced to 43 years in prison and fine of $95,- 900.

NEW DEAL

Liberals Fear ''P Palace Gang" Will Lead ROOse. welt to Taft's Fate |. Must Regain Peoples Confidence.
By RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 CorrcsDondcnt


 Washington, April 15--Accord- ing to various popular magazine writers, Roosevelt has fired tho "Brain Trust" spurned the left wingers, turned completely to the right, and surrounded himself with q new ring of conservative advis- CTS.
 I suppose that explains why the major New Deal casualties of the last year happen to have been Budget Director Lew Douglas and MIRA Administrators Hugh Johnson two of the best friends conserva- tive hnanciers and industrialists have had in Washington since Mir Hoover left.
 I suppose that's why Roosevelt, faced with his most crucial pro- gram in the $4,000. .0OO. 900 work relief operation, has chosen as his "brain trust to direct 1t the three outstanding New Dealers who still stick their necks out as liberals Mir Hopkins, Mir Tugwell and Mir Tckes.
 And I suppose that's why Roose- had Tom Corcoran and Ben Cohen. two original brain trusters and leading young Brandeis Frankfur- ter disciples, prepare and fight for the Wheeler -Rayburn holding com pany bill, which has called forth the "power trusts" most furious propaganda effort of all time.

Palace Gang" Strong

Enough of that. What I mean is that the situation as to Roosevelt's advisers is much more complicated than most commentators would have you believe.
 Despite those important incl dents, the ear of Roosevelt has lately been lent most of the time to cautious conservatives, who warn him against the alleged danger of radical reforms.
 A certain ring of those fellows ie coming to be known as the 'spalace gang and the more Roosevelt seems to listen to them the less he seems to take counsel from such liberals as sTugwell Ickes, Hopkins. Frankfurter, and the progressive senators. The "paiace gang" includes:
 Donald Richberg. who has be- c0fnc increasingly unpopular with labor and the liberals since he started trying to make the New Deal the darling of "big busi- ness,
