 Code authority and clothing workers union members, working | winth MIRA officials and senators who abhor sweatshop wages, were without stretching facts--able to make MIRA appear as holy an in- l stitution as General Johnson ever claimed in his most enthusiastic moments. l5 ,. @ A high moment came whom, sev- eral hundred small clothing mak- CTS advertised in the New York Times to protest the activities of the Curlee group.
 They Still Hunt Indians
 With so much excitement around here nearly all of us have for gotten about the Indians and their troubles. But there's one little group that never forgets the In- dians and their troubles. But there's one little group that never forgets the Indians-meaning the fellows who are out to fleece them and the men who represent them in congress. Presumably this lobby will be on the job until the last Indian is dead.
 The present effort is to wreck the Wheeler-Howard act, under which Secretary Ickes and Indian Com missioner, John Collier have sought to rehabilitate the Indian, making him self-reliant and preserving his remaining assets.
 Lobbyists persuaded certain con- gressmen to cut in half the bud geted appropriations for land pur- chases, an Indian credit system. and tribal organiZation--all vital parts of the Indian New Deal'' program.
 The opposition even includes
 a missionary group which fights
 Collier and Ickes because they
 prohibit coercion of Indians into
 religious denominations and
 permit Indians to return to
 tacir old tribal religions if they
 like.
 Other malcontents have tried to collect money from the Indians and find themselves baked by the In- dian bureau.
 Lumber interests are fighting Collier because of the new policy which encourages Indians to cut and mill their own timber instead of leasing the timber land on con- tract while remaining idle.
 Organized cattle and sheep ,Tacn are striking back be-
 cause the interior department
 Is closing out Indian grazing
 ranges and turning them back
 to Indians, whom it already has
 supplied with. $3O,OOO head of
 foundation stock.
 For weeks. the house Indian affairs committee has been hear ing complaints against the Indian administration. The investigation appears to have been inspired by men who sought to "blackmail' the bureau into a conciliatory attitude and hardly anyone in Washington has been paying any attention to 1t.

extreme cases, government men are urging the planting of emer- gency "cove crops" to hold the soil, even if wheat must be given up temporarily.
 Governor Landon of Kansas is already in Washington with plans for 0 quick campaign to turn up long mounds crosswise to the wind direction with listers" ma chimes like great oversized blows.
 Tests Under Way E These earth barriers would stop the dust drifts just as snow-fences hold back the blowing of snow drifts. The government will prob- ably furnish, nearly a half-million dollars for the oil, gas and grease for tractors to put this plan in immediate operation.
 The soil erosion service, re- gently transferred from the inte- rior to the agricultural department, has a demonstration project under way at Dalhart, Tex, where one of the worst of recent dust storms originated.
 Others will be set up in eastern Colorado and in South Dakota. In the Dalhart region, some 2,500,- 900 acres are lying fallow, tenn porarily abandoned, due to crop failures and drouth.
 All this means more govern- ment control, and more big jobs piled on top of the agriculture de- partment, which is already sweat ing blood to revise it's wheat and corn schedules for this summer.
 For if, as seems likely. the Kansas wheat crop this year is the worst since 1866, and other stricken western states show ir proportion, the quick reverse fror a policy of cutting to one of in- wheat acreage will have to be pressed home strongly tc prevent actual shortage.
 All Must Help
 Means will have to be devised to persuade, buy. or force the CO., operation of millions of farmers in the drouth-dust area, and these means are not yet known. Any program must be nearly universal throughout the area to change conditions to any extent.
 It Is over such details of plan-. ming that the lights burn late in the vast department of agriculture building these nights in Washing ton.

By ROUNEY UU1CHEN Democrats Washington COrre- spOndcntD Washington.-Several members of congress are feeling a bit silly since the MIRA investigation began

 There must be some honest lit tie fellows who have been hurt by MIRA. Plenty of monopolistic prac- tices wer legalized under the Gen. eral Johnson regime. The com- plaint of most of them is that codes haven't been adequately en- forced-which left those comply ing at a disadvantage.
 But tho little fellows" whose cause such folks as Senator King of Utah, Senator Nye of North Da-

 woman Virginia Jenckes of Indf- ana espoused, turned out to be gents who objected to enforcement rather than enforcement. to minimum wages and collective bargaining.
 Some of them, testimony
 brought out, had paid wages as low as three and five cents an -four before MIRA boosted the minimum. Presumably they
 were pining for those good old days.
 Their congressional supporters
 lapsed into silence as the facts be- gan to come out.
 MIRA has been faring much bet ter than 1t deserved. The senate finance committees inquiry went
 on for days as an absurd contest
 between the snug self-righteous-
 ness of the administration and the
 virtually utter dumb ignorance of
 senators as to MIRA operations. When the attack came, it was sponsored by the low wage com panies in the mems clothing indus

Kansas City, March 30 - The calamity of wind erosion, striking ly impressed on half the country by the recent dust storms, seems so overwhelming as to condemn mere man to wiring his hands. fold them, and wait. E But 1t isn't that bad. There are definite things that can be done to prevent formation of vast new desert. Government experts feel sure that, given enough money and operation from residents of the drouth- and dust region, they can do something about it.
 Some of these things are already being done. Some are part of the great work-relief plan for this summer. Some are longtime plans. Some are public works, some con- sist of teaching farmers in the plains region how to avoid for themselves the worst perils of the "duster."
 Probably most people think of this fight in terms of the great tree belt which is to be planted almost from Canada to Texas. First paintings are actually being made now. in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. |. Later this spring. planting will begin in Nebraska and the Dakotas. Fifty counties have been selected for the work this spring. which is largely demonstrational. Tree Belt Seen as Aid Government foresters aren't fooling themselves about this tree belt. They know 1t will be IS or 20 years before it's full effect can be felt. 8hey know it may not change the climate or rainfall to any noticeable extent.
 But they also know that similar experiments made in Czarist Rus sian and other places had a hene- ficial effect in reducing drouth and dust. Such shelter belts of trees trend to defect the sweeping winds up off the surface of the plains, and thus protect it. They tend to raise the ''water-table' or level of sub-surface water, which is falling steadily and dangerously in the northwest. a

While too far east to effect the region where recent dust storms have arisen, such a tree belt could
 hardly fail to have Q good effect
 on farming conditions in its own area.
 It will be supplemented by re- newed efforts to get individual
 farmers to plant their own wind-
 breaks, using the Chinese elm,
 Russian olive. Russian mulberry, honey locust and other trees which need litle water. Seedlings are being grown on a large scale for the purpose. Must Change Cultivation But the real key to the, situation lies in persuading or compelling far-western farmers to use differ
