AMENDMENT
To AAA ACT
BECOME LAW
Continued from Page One)

in the case of milk, they may not
include any price fixing provisions.
The rates of processing taxes
previously fixed by Wallace, and
the benefit contracts made with
farmers, are specifically legalized
by the act in a further effort to
bolster their validity
In event the processing taxes ul-
timately are found invalid by the
supreme court, the right of process
sers to recover tax payments is
sharply restricted. Before any re-
covery can be made, the act speci-
flies, the processer must prove to
the satisfaction of the commission
er of internal revenue that he has
not passed the tax on to the con-
sumner or deducted it from amounts
paid to producers.
Attorney General Homer S. Cum
mings is expected quickly to direct
federal district attorneys to move
for dismissal of temporary injunc-
tions against the tax collections.
In the face of federal statute gen.
orally forbidding the courts to in
terfere with tax collections, most of
these injunctionS were granted on
the grounds that professors were
threatened with loss of all right to
recover in event the act was held
unconstitutional Before the final
passage, however, the provisions for
restricted right to recover was
adopted.
In signing the bill to amend the
AAA, the President said:
This legislation supplements and
strengthens the original Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act enacted May
r. 1888, which unquestionably has
been of great value to American
farmers. 1t carries forward the
agricultural program on the broad
economic basis of the original act.
THE act as a whole will enable
the AAA to move forward in it's
constructive and essential work in
behalf of agriculture"

Brother AShurst
Has Good Sense

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. U.P)-
Sen. Henry F. Ashurst (Dem.) Ari-
zona, in his best facetious vein
gave the senate a lecture today on
newspapers and the men who write
for them.
Speaking of press reports con-
corning the European trip of Sen.
James P. Pope (Dem0 Idaho, Ash
urst said:
"The press is entitled to mangle
grammar and misapply syntax.
THE members of the fourth es-
tate are the only persons authoriz-
ed to use the first person plural for
the first person singular
only newspapermen and persons
with tape-worm are allowed to say
we for T."
II think we're paying too much
attention to what has appeared in
the papers about an absent senator.
I've been through this political
fight and I've never explained any
thing. If you do, the next day

BILL
EXPECTED To
De APPROVED
BY MACK JOHNSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. - The
administrations power program
with the death sentence" on un-
essential utility holding companies,
reached journeys end today with
passage virtually assured in both
houses of congress.
Snarled for six months in the
bitterest battle Of the present ses-
sion of congress, conferees agreed
last night to accept a bill the
President would sign.
Their report today, prior to &C
ton by the house, will disclose the
full scope of what was described
as a victory for the White House
on the Presidents demand for ul-
innate dissolution Of unessential
utility holding companies.
Burton K. Wheeler (Dem9, Mon
tana, lanky chairman Of the ser<
ate interstate commerce committee
and dean of the senate conferees,
was jubilant. "It certainly was not
any victory for the utility crowd" F"
he said. 1.-THE bill is good one
although it does not go as far as
I should like"
General Retreat
All along the line, house con-
ferees, led by Chairman Sam Ray
burn (Dem0, Texas, retreated as
the compromises were made ano
house opponents of the new deal
power program termed 1T com
plete surrender" :,
Briefly, the bill declares that II
is in the public interest to regu'
late public utility systems. IL pre-
scribes that there shall be no more
than one holding company ana
sub-holding company for each IN
tegrated public system, except un'
der such conditions as the secufl-
ties and exchange commission may
prescribe.
These conditions, aimed TO pro
tect consumers and investors, chief
lv are whether the integrated sys-
tenn lies in one state or in adjoin-
ing states and whether holdinl
companies are essential to eco
nomical operation.
The conferees agreed to prohlpl
ton Of so-called fat service or con
| tract fees from subsidiary com
panies by the holding companle
OF a utility system.

FASCINATING TALES

Cw.R.U. Bp Edi<ka L.. WafeD1
TREASURE OF COMPANY X

THERE is gold-s10OOO worth OF 1t,
In good American coin hidden
near Crittenden. Arizona. At least. 1t
is there If reports are true. and II
someone has not found 1t and spirited
1t away.
Company X was stationed at Fort
Buchanan. The Civil War began to
call In soldiers from the outlying
posts, and Company X was no excep.
ton. 1t was ordered east. and there
was no time to take care of the goods
and chattels of the organization.
So the quartermaster, thrifty soul
who had no idea Of leaving anything
valuable to the merces of outsiders.
quietly took the gold, the medicines,
and all other stores Of value. and
buried them. He and the squad who
helped dig the hole knew where 1t
was, but no one else was told the
secret. Then the company Travelled
east, and the incident was forgotten.
After the war, Company X was sent
back to its Arizona post, which had
been renamed Fort Crittenden. Only
one Of the original outfit returned with
the troop, and as he looked about at
the formerly well-known scenes mem
DRY stirred, and he remembered that
he had helped dig holes, place in them
gold and medical supplies. and cover
them over again so that no one could
tell they were there.
He had no doubt that the places
were untouched. for no one that knew
of them had been near In all this time
What treasure there was, just for
the taking
So he told one friend, and the two
began to hunt for the precious caches.
They went to the place where the
stuff was buried, as nearly as the sol
dier could remember, and here they
dug-and dug-and dug again, but for
some reason they could not seem to
connect with the stores or the money.
The secret leaked out. Soon all the
garrison was helping in the search.
Trenches were dug all over Sonorlta
valley. and the men developed mighty
muscles and aching backs-but to no
avail.
Then, just as everyone was ready
to give up In disgust, declaring that
the returned soldier had been crazy
all the time, a discovery was made.
The medical stores were found. just
as he had described them. New hope
revived the hunt. More trenches were
dug and these went deeper.
They had their work for their pains.
Unless, as has been said at the be-
ginning of this story, the gold was
found and spirited away under the
noses of a whole suspicious garrison,
1t must be where 1t was hidden. For
no one has found even so much as one
coin Of 1t.

THE BRYFOGLE MINE

THREE men were crossing the
1 Nevada desert in 1866. One was
an old Dutchman named Bryfogle, and
the others were young southerners,
who had come along with him on a
prospecting trip.
Out In that lonely land the three
found a ledge which seemed to be very
rich In gold. and they each staked a
claim and took some samples TO be
assayed when they should reach q
town.
At Austin, Neyada, they had the ore
tested, and 1t proved rich enough
to excite Bryfogle immensely. The
younger men. ewho felt that they had
seen quite enough Of desert life. made
over theirec claims to the Dutchman and
went on their various ways. But Bry-
fogle. optimistic desert rat that he was
set about organizing a company to 20
out and develop the mine, and he sue
ceeded In interesting number of men,
The party started out In high spirits
expecting to 20 directly to the ledge
and there start to work. But the route
seemed TO be entirely too long and
torturous; Bryfogle led them first In
one direction and then in another, and
at last after several weeks spent In
wandering about the desert, the old
Dutchman confessed that be had lost
the way.
AT first, In the sudden depression Of
their spirits. the party was wrought up
almost to the point Of lynching the
old man. Still, such an action would
not help matters, and second thoughts
showed them that there was nothing
to do but return to Austin.
Bryfogle did rot agree with this de-
clsion. He wanted to stay In the des-
ert, to hunt still longer for the ledge
which he knew lay out there some
where. If they would only leave him
some provisions, he said. he would
keep on searching and then he was
sure to find the place at last.
With the hope that this might hap
pen, the party yielded TO Bryfogle's
pleas. They gave him provisions for
long stay, and returned home, while
he set out to run down that elusive
ledge.
He might have found 1t II circum-
stances had been favorable. But In
his wanderings he met band Of
Paintes, and they attacked him, strik-
Ing him on the head He escaped with
his life, but his memory was gone.
After that he wandered about aim
lessly. not knowing for what he was
hunting.
Others have wandered ever since,
just as aimlessy, In search Of that
rich ledge of ore. But 1t seems to be
lost for good

United States Consumes
Half of Worlds Lumber

According to THE Year Book" of
the New York Society of Architects,
"the United States produces and
consumes. roundly, half of all the
lumber of the world. About so per
cent of all residences In the United
States are woodruff; and on the
farms. 9S per cent of all structures.
On account of its abundance, prey
alence and comparative cheapness,
lumber has been crucially assocat-
ed with the economic history Of the
country.
"Even today, after the advent of
many different competing materials,
the lumber industry ranks near the
top with some 10000 mills, $1,000
100000 of capital investment, en-
ploying directly and indirectly more
than a million men in good times
and larger producing capacity than
It had when the mills were twice
as numerous. With the disappear

Is changing from purely extrac-
tive to reproducing industry. The

Cremation Has Been Used

Cremation Is one of the three com

remains which antedate history, the
others being simple exposure and buri-
al or entombment, states a writer In
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Cremation
was originally widely prevalent among
the lndo- European races Throughout
northern Europe graves of the Bronze
age contain not skeletons but urns for
funeral ashes. Cremation was the gen
era practice of the Romans for hun
dreds Of years. while the Greeks also
prHctlced Ii to great extent. Many
of the early American Indians burned
their dead, the custom was common of
old In England and In Gallo and Ger

Fake Fingerprints May
Divert Police Suspicion

Fingprprints Of different people, as
we know, are never the same. But
1t IS possible for crook to initiate
genuine flngerprlnt SO that the sus-
picion of the police can be diverted,
says Pearson's Weekly.
How this can be done has been
shown by DR.. Harold Cummlns of
the Tulane University Of Medicine,
Chicago. Taking an original genuine
fngerprint, he had 1t engraved, and
made three dimenslonal negative
In wax. Then he took cast In
gelatin on dummy finger. Twelve
of the 80 prints he made with the
dummy finger were declared by fin
gerprint experts to be genuine.
Though this proportion Is not very
great, the United States authorities
believe 1t Is sufficient to allow Grim
inals many opportunities to put the
police on false trails.

WAR IN EUROPE NOT LIKELY NOW
 SAYS KELLOGG
Nations Haven't Forgotten Last Clash, Ex-Secretary
 of State Believes

PASADENA. Cal, March 21.-- Writing for the Associated Press. Frank B. Kellogg, former Secre- tary of State, said there is not going to be any war in Europe.
 Europeans have not forgotten the last war yet" writes MT Kel- logg, and I do not believe the nations of Europe are entirely free from blame in the present situa- ton.
 Tn the Versailles Treaty they pledged themselves to disarm. If any of them have done it, l do not recall which.
 The nations have built up arma- ments and this is the great danger to peace.
 'Of course there is no excuse for Germany violating her Treaty agreements but there is some truth in President Hitler's statements that other nations agreed to re- duse their armaments but none of them have done so.
