McCarl Stops Funds for
Reedsville Factory

COMPTROLLER GENERAL NC
- CARL in formal opinion held that
there is no legal authorization for the
federal government to pay out any
funds for the construction of furni-
ture factory at Reedsville, w. Va. This
has been a project especially favored
by Mrs. Roosevelt. 1t was intended
originally that the factory should make
furniture for government offices and
give employment to transplanted coal
miners. A year ago McCarl refused to
sanction an ALLEGATION to the factory
from recovery funds. Then congress
turned on the project on the ground
that it Disseminated against private
industry. McCarl says the Department
of the Interior went ahead with letting
contracts for the construction, never
theless, and the building is about so
per cent completed.

French Croix De Ecu Men
in Big Mobilization

FRENCH Nationalist, whose organi-
Il cation is known as Croix de Ecu,
are preparing to take over control of
the governmental some future time
not yet determined. Just to show
their strength, they were directed by
their leader, Col. Francois de la
ROGUE, to mobilize" the other night
secretly in forests and fields through
out France, and it was claimed that
100000 members gathered. Commu-
nists and Socialists attacked the
Gross of Fire" at Caen and other
places and several men were injured.
De la Rocque's followers, however, re-
Trained from violence. To one Of the
meetings he addressed, the would-be
dictator said: 1--WE won't fight back
until the time comes for mass mobili-
cation; then we will fight as single
unit"
Remembering what Mussolini and his
Fascists did in Italy, these Croix de
Ecu men may have to be reckoned
with later in France.

President Gets Ready
for Western Trip

president ROOSEVELT returned
to the White House from his three
weeks vacation in Hyde Park and
started in on busy week of official
duties and preparation for his trip to
San Diego, Calf. Among the first
things he did was the delivery of a
radio address in behalf Of the Annual
Mobilization for Human Needs. In
this he explained his position on tax
ing corporation gifts to charity. He
also took up the matter of speeding
up the expenditure of the huge work
relief fund and discussed with adj
visers the problem of the soft coal
miners strike. Mr.. Roosevelt will not
make many speeches on his western
jaunt.
BY executive order the President
added SSO0,000,000 to the sum which
Harry Hopkins has to spend as PWA
administrator, making the total at his
command $1,S75,0O0,OO0.

demned. Among those who oppose po-
tato control is Porter R. Chandler of
Geneseo, N. Y, a gentleman farmer.
He has advertised extensively his in
tention to grow and sell potatoes in
defiance of the federal potato control
act and invites prosecution.
Now, cooperating with Mr.. Chand-
Ter, comes Norman G. Norman, New
York jeweler who some time ago de-
fed the jewelers. code. He sent to the
gentleman farmer an order for six
or more bushels Of strictly illegal
potatoes" and the order was filed at
once. Norman suggested that the po-
tatoes be routed through New Jersey
to make the offense interstate, and Of
fered to make more than one pur--
chase, "as it is my understanding that
the second purchase will entitle me to
go to the penitentiary."

Missouri Farmers Sentenced
for Plattsbure Riot

TWELVE Missouri farmers have
Il been convinced that 1t doesn't pay
to interfere with Federal court pro-
ceedings and they were sentenced to
Leavenworth for terms ranging from
one day to three years. The farmers
wept, and the judge relented, placing
them on probation. Led by Sam
Divelbiss, on whose farm fore
closure sale was to be held, they dis
armed and beat United States Marshal
H. L. Dillingham; and three aids and
threatened them with hanging. The
farmers were arrested and taken be-
fore Federal Judge Reeves in st. Jo-
seph, who said they were guilty Of
holding federal officers captive, dam
aging a motor car, mayhem, felonious
assault, robbery, disturbance Of the
peace, rioting and resisting an officer.
The defendants pleaded guilty and
were promptly sentenced. The govern
ment charged that the Farmers Pro-
tective association fostered the riotous
gathering and so Clifton Gall, its secre-
tary, was given the heaviest penalty.

Eccles Will Direct New
Reform of Banking

NTARRINER S. ECCLES, head of the
4VA federal reserve system, has been
re-appointed by the President, and so
will be chairman of the board that will
put into operation the new banking
reform law. Later the President will
name six other members of the board.
Mr.. Eccles is the exponent of the the

government should spend heavily in
bad times to create employment AMI
expand credit, and that it should tax
in good years to reduce debt and pre-
vent excessive accumulation of income.

During violent hailstorm at

fight between the advocates OF the
Patman and the Vinson bills, and
those who frown on passage of any
kind of adjusted service certificate
payment plan. The committee favor
ably reported the Vinson measure,
which the American Legion leaders
and spokesman are backing. Patman
and his steering committee, backed
by the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, now
seek special rule which will permit
him to offer his bill as a substitute.
1t appears that the request will be
granted, and that the first test vote
will come on the Patman measure.
The difference is serious. and may
even endanger passage of a measure
which otherwise would pass the House
by a decisive margin. The VinsOn
bill contemplates payment of the
bonus by issuance of tax-exempt and
interest-bearing bonds, and makes it
further necessary for the House to
pass separate appropriation bill, in
asmuch as the bill as now written
only makes the authorization. The
Patman plan would pay the bonus
through issuance of new currency
without creating any additional pub
lie debt. To date. neither side shows
signs of yielding or surrendering, and
their feelings are decidedly pointed.
Bitterness in the Senate was even
more pronounced, with the acrimon-
ious and the personal attack ex-
changed between Senators Huey Long
of Louisiana and Majority Leader Rob-
inson of Arkansas. 1t promises to
continue. Meantime, the Senate
passed the War Department appropri-
alton bill, increased the standing
army to 10000 men, and added to
the already gigantic appropriation,
making the United States contender
in the present race for war prepara-
ton which is sweeping the nations Of
the earth.
Speaking to a group of New Dealers
and some few members. of Congress
one night this week, DR.. Charles A.
Beard, one of the most eminent liv-
ing historians pointed out that sue
cess Of the new deal effort could pos
sibly be based on one of two alter
native courses. Wealth and income
must be redistributed, or we will be
plunged into a course of preparedness
and foreign aggressiveness that will
only lead to war.

AS another term of school draws
to close, a group of seniors, soon to
venture out into the world, look back
upon the twelve short years of school
life, regretfully, yet pleasurably.
Those few short years which have
flown so swiftly past recall many
pleasant memories gained through as
sOciationsj with fellow comrades and
classmates. Graduation means a
dawning for us, chance to put our
ability and our lives to some useful
purpose. We obey an inner urge to
accomplish something, to spend our
lives beautifully and usefully and to
make the world little better for our
contributions. AS our class motto
says. I'VE have crossed the bay, the
ocean lies before u.s."
