CHARGE WILSON OF C0MPLICITY
 IN WAR GULL I
Senate Munitions Commit tee Discloses Evidence
 Against Late Chief

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--Chair- man Gerald P. Nye of the Senate Munitions Committee, asserted to- day that Woodrow Wilson falsified in chronicling some of the circum- stances surrounding Americas en- trance into the World War
 Senator Nye attacked Wilson's postwar story that he did not know at the time the United States went into the struggle of secret treaties between the Allies for he redistribution of Europe.
 Both Senator Nye and Senator Bennett Champ Clark joined in asserting that documents they had ready in the State Department files and elsewhere proved that both Wilson and Secretary of State Rob- ert Lansing knew of the treaties.
 Senator Nye said Wilson and Lansing were fully apprised by Balfour of the secret treaties to which the British were commit ted"
 Previously Senator Clark charged that Col Edward House. confiden- tial advisor to President Wilson had agreed to bring the United States into the war without know ledge of Congress.

GRANGE OFFERS SUBSTITUTE FOR
 FARM PROGRAM
New 10-Point Plan Submit ted to Congress-Take
 Place of Old AAA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. The National Grange, dean of organized farm groups, submitted to the Sen- ate agriculture committee today a 10-point program for new nation al plan to replace the AAA. Grange officials said it represented crys- tallizing of farm sentiment against the constitutionality and question able rewriting of AAA to control ag- ricultural production through subsi- dized soil conservation
 The Grange plan asks Congress to provide appropriations for comple- tion of contracts entered into in good faith and partially carried out by the farmers. It urges a soil conser- vation program based on a rise in rotation of crops; a system of gov- ernment rentals to build up national resources; speeding up retirement of marginal and submarginal lands for foresting; conservation of recrea- tional and wild Lie uses; retention and expansion of the surplus com- modity corporation to deal with ag- ricultural surpluses.

Iowa Disaster Blamed by Union on Giving First
 Thought to Profits

PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. f5.- While new storm ripped into Ore- gon and Washington coast lines, a storm of protest also rose from union labor over the loss of 34 lives when the freighter Iowa piled up on Pea cock Spit.
 A Federal investigation was de- manded by G. O. Hunter, Vice-Presi- dent of the Portland Labor Council, and other union spokesmen.
 Hunter assailed the practice of taking steamers over the Columbia River bar without a bar pilot and questioned the judgment of off cers in putting to sea in the face of a roaring hurricane.
 'The belief is increasing that the loss of lives was due to first consid- erations being given to profits" he said. s
