THE KILLING OF PIGS and the
blowing under of the dainty little
blades of corn no doubt brought
tears to the eyes of many Liberty
Lacquer. But after all, surpluses
are something we have to reckon
with in our complicated economic
set-up. And it will be problem OF
SURPRISES which will likely wreck the
farm schemes of the Republican
standard-bearer. Secretary Wallace,
in simple language, explains the
danger of the Landon plan: "Now,
let US see how his proposal would
work if applied to corn and hogs.
re Indications now are that with
out any soil conservation or other
programs in effect in 1887, but with
a subsidy to stimulate production
corn acreage would rise from the
present SO million acres to at least
ITO million acres. With average
weather and yields per acre as they
were in the Twenties, the crop would
amount to about 2,90O, 100000 BUSH
els, or about what it was in 1887
With this much corn, the prices by
December of 1887 would drop to
about 30 or 35 cents bushel at Chi
cago, or Is to 20 cents on many
corn belt farm.
"The only way farmers could taHe

THERE is A BASIC difference
between the farm plans of President
Roosevelt and Gov. Landon. Although
Landon, up to a few months ago, de-
clared himself heartily in accord
with the New Deal in many ways,
he has changed his mind or had it
changed for him in some peculiar
manner. The great difference be-
tween the two programs is that
Roosevelt protects the farmers in
terests while at the same time it
does not overlook the national inter-
est; Landon proposes a subsidy,
which is a form of pecuniary assist
ance in the past so closely identified
with Big Business, i.e., railroads and
steamship lines.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
Wallace says: after what agricul-
ture has been through since 1920, it
is really amazing to have a candi-
date for President stand up before
farmers and say that because pro-
ducers of export crops today have
no foreign market for their products,
he therefore promises by means Of
a subsidy to stimulate them to pro-
duce for this market which doesn't
exist.
no subsidy could compensate for
the wreckage of price a md income
brought about by another accumulat-
ed surplus of three or four hundred
million bushels of wheat, ten or elev-
en- million bales of cotton and bill
lion pounds of lard. when the end
came, the price collapse would spread
disaster throughout agriculture and
industry"

GOV. ALT. LANDON h failed
to hold all of his Kansas G. o. P.

it is revealed. Five prominent Re-
publican leaders have been instru-
mental in forming "The Kansas ALL
Party Agricultural Committee" to
support Roosevelt. They are State

condemned the reactionary farm pro-

Shibe Mourned
ByPhiIIY

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. H.
Thomas S. Shibe, president of the
Philadelphia Athletics Baseball
Club since 1922, was dead today
following an illness of several
weeks that had it's inception while
he was vacationing in Florida this
winter. He was 10.
At his bedside when the end
came late last night were his
brother, John D. Shibe. vice pres
ident of the AS, his wife, Ida, and
his two sisters, Mrs. Elfreda Mac
Farland and Mrs. George Reach.
both of this city.
While some baseball observers
believe that his brother, John, will
become head of the baseball club,
others feel that Connie Mack, the
teams first and only manager,
might take the helm.
Shibe had been actively aSSo.
ciated with the Athletics since the
clubs admission to the American
League in. 1901 following the death
Of his father, Benjamin F. Shibe.
Shibe was one of the few re-
naming pioneers of the group of
men who put the American League
in the major league field in 1901.
When his father joined hands with
Connie Mack in buying the Ath.
letic franchise, Thomas S. Shibe,
the son, also bought stock and was
named vice president of the club.
He held this position until the
death of his father, who succumbed
January IA, 1922, at the age of SO.
The son succeeded his father as
president of the club, which office
he held until his death. John D.
Shibe, his younger brother, has
served as vice president since 1922.
AS the manufacturer of base
balls and baseball equipment, Mr..
Shibe won well-merited renown.
He had his fathers gift in manu-
featuring baSeballs and that part
Of the great Reach plant was
under his supervision.
Mr.. Shibe invented a great deal
Of the machinery used to turn out
spheres that players crash at the
ball parks. In his office there is
a museum containing baseballs
used many years ago when the
sport was in its infancy.
He was married but had no
children.
Both Clark Griffith, president
of the Washington Baseball Club,
and Eddie Eynon, secretary, ex-
pressed regrets today over the
passing of Thomas Shibe, presi-
dent of the Philadelphia AS.
Eynon received Mr.. Griffith'S re-
grets at the ball park today from
Orlando. Fla.
The Washington Ball Club will
be represented at the funeral by
Mr.. Eynon and Billy Smith, assist
ant secretary. ...

7 Turner Likes
Old Timers

Fifty years old today, Joe
Turner, Washington's genial
wrestling and boxing promoter,
this morning was looking ahead
to one of his best mat shows Of
the season which features Joe
Cox and George zaharias to q
finish at his Fourteenth and w
Street Arena Thursday night.
None the worse for a half cen
tury's wear and tear both as a
wrestler and promoter, Turner
insists that the wrestlers of today
are equally as tough as those OF
yeSteryear. He says:
"What they lack in science,
they make up for in rOughneSS.
I'd rather take a defeat from
Stranger Lewis any day than
a physical beating from either
Cox or Zaharias."

by the blocking team, that team
was allowed to advance the ball,
but If 1t was recovered by the
kicking team, it was dead at
the point Of recovery. The
change just made will allow any
player of either team who re-
covers the ball to advance 1t,
either by run, legal pass, or an
other kick"
The third change was regarded
as highly important in that il
makes it easier for a defending
team to "Spot" the prospective re
ceiver Of a pass and thus tightens
defense against an aerial game
Under this rule the players in

is to be completed, intercepted
or incompleted." The penalty will

Olympic
Title To
Norway
BY PIERRE J. HUss


OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Feb. 17.-Norway held the Olym.
pic title, the flame on the tower
high above the ski stadium had
flickered out and athletes from all
over the world were en- route home
today following the closing of the
fourth winter Olympic games here
with a ceremony Of notable pag-
eantry, which was topped by q
stampede.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler and
most of his cabinet were present
on the final day of the competi-
ton to see Canada defeat the
United States at hockey, FL, to
give Great Britain the hockey
championship. Canada came Sec
ond in this department and the
United States third.
In the ski jump, Birger Ruud,
Of Norway, took first place, Sven
Ericsson, Of Sweden, second and
ALI Andersen, of Norway, third.
Hitler Satisfied
Hitler and his lieutenants were
obviously well satisfied with the
success of the ames, which
Avery Brundage, on behalf of
the United States, termed the
greatest ever held" At least
10000 persons paid admissions
to see the final ski jump event
and the closing ceremonies. Ger.
man officials said more than
SOC, 900 persons paid admissions
during the II days of the games.
In the closing ceremony in the
ski stadium, the gold, silver and
bronze medals were distributed
among the winning and placing
athletes. While each recipient
stepped forward, the band blazed
away at the national anthem of
his country, and army guns
doomed over the mountain tops.
Then thousands of torchlights
formed a giant horseshoe around
the ski jump and the president
of the International Olympic
Committee, thanking Hitler, the
German government and the
town of Garmisch-P Partenkirchen
for acting as hosts, formally de-
clared the games ended.
To the sound of trumpets and
the thunder of cannon, the
Olympic flag was hauled down
and the Olympic flame was
slowly extinguished.
AS the athletes marched out
the entire mountainside suddenly
blazed with fireworks.
Two Persons Injured
When all was over, Nazis kept
the huge crowd inside the ski
stadium for about two hours until
Chancellor Hitler and other off
cialS were able to depart. Two
persons were injured and others
tainted as the crowd battled and
milled about in an attempt to
leave the stadium or catch a
glimpse of the German chancellor.
Members of the Nazi labor serv.
ice corps, forming a solid Gordon
against the crowd, refused to let
anyone out until after Hitler had
departed.
Throughout the Gay Hitler was
in a jovial mood. During the
final ski jump contest, when the
crowd stated to cheer him, he
pointed laughingly at the ski
jump and motioned the crowd
to watch the skiers rather than
himself. He laughed and joked
continually.
Again, during the United States
Canada hockey game he chuckled
frequently, obviously enjoying the
bruising play Of both teams.
