works than the debate over the
"haby bond bill itself.
The monetary statement In the Sen
ate Agriculture Committees report on
the new farm bill was inserted at the
request Of Senator Thomas, Democrat,
of Oklahoma. It asserted Artificial
plans to raise and regulate prices have
been tried and the Supreme Court has
held such plans unconstitutional.
1t has been demonstrated that prices
have been controlled by the amount
of money in circulation.
"All must remember that with our
burden OF taxes, interest and debts
either the general price level must be
raised, additional taxes must be levied
or existing and impending new debts
/ must be eventually repudiated."
Thomas said the President, under
existing law, had the power to expand
the currency by more than $8000.-
600 900. but added:
Il wouldn't want to issue that much.
If the President would make a state
ment publicly that he is going back to
the 1925 price level that would do the
job, because it would go to that point
right away.
Then he would have to issue some
new currency to maintain that level.
Probably $3.50, 900 900 or 81, 900 900, 900
would be enough"
Farm Bill Fight Looms.
Sent to the floor by the Senate
Agriculture Committee under the title,
Soil Conservation and Domestic AL
lotment Act" the measure substan-
TALLY continuing the principles of A.
A. A. was expected to arouse strenu-
GUS debate.
Colleagues of Senator Borah said
the Idaho Republican would challenge
it on constitutional grounds. They
said he would question whether it was
subterfuge to set up crop control
outlaWed by the Supreme Court.
They expected him to discuss spe-
cifically the factors determining bene-
fit payments to farmers for operations

stimulating farm prosperity.

Export Debenture in Ofing.
Chester Gray OF the American Farm
Bureau Federation said Jones con-
sidered the Senate bill too narrow
and expressed belief the House bill
would include the export debenture to
stimulate foreign marketing, or land
rental provision to take surplus acres
out of production.
The House committee expects to
take up the bill Saturday. Gray said
he had been told it probably would
be reported Monday. He described the
proposed House bill as more accept
able to agriculture than the Senate
draft.
Proposing to minimize the chances
of a new farm bill being invalidated,
Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho,
prepared today to introduce bill re-
quiring at least a 7-to-2 vote OF the
Supreme Court before an act of Con-
gress can be thrown out.
Wallace Assailed.
After the new farm bill was re-
ported to the Senate yesterday, the
House heard a fiery Republican de-
mand for Impeachment" Of Secre-
tary Wallace. Representative Tread
way, Republican. of Massachusetts as
sailed Wallace for radio speech Tues
day, declaring ANY public official
who makes a statement which calls
Supreme Court decision legalized
steal ought to be impeached."
Smiling over the attack at his
press conference with the observa-
ton, ut looks like I'm in danger" /"
Wallace disclosed that under the new
farm program, the administration
hoped to remove 30,000,000 acres from
intensive cultivation.
The Agriculture Secretary also said
that if the new legislation we're en-
acted within 80 days, he believed an
effective production control program
could be placed in operation for 1896
crops.

HASTINGS DEFENDS
.DU POINT IN SENATE
Terms "Infamous SANDER
Denunciation on Floor
by SchWeIIenbach.

RisinR to defend Pierre S. du Pont,
Senator Hastings. Republican. OF Dela-
ware sai6 today that the manufacturer
paid $4,563,98a income tax for 1929
and contributed $982,473 to charity
that year.
Hastings. speaking on the floor OF
the Senate, assailed as an Infamous
slander" the recent attack which Sen
ator Schwellenbach, Democrat, Of
Washington made on Du Pont.
The Delaware Senator said such q
vicious attack" on "one of the most
distinguished citizens of my State"
was blot" on Schwellenbach's rec
ord.
Du Pont Litigation Cited.
Schwellenbach, in the course OF a
speech denouncing the American Lib
erty League as controlled by "rascals
and crooks" had referred to income
tax litigation the Government has
aimed at Du Pont. The Government
contends a securities transaction be-
tween Du Pont and John J. Raskob,
another Liberty League hacker, was
not in good faith.
Hastings. implying that Du Pont
was victim of governmental ter
rorism" because he backed the Lib
erty League in its onslaught on the
New Deal, said:
This man, who paid more than
| $4,500.000 as an income tax for 1929;
this man, who contributed to charity
for that same year but slightly less
than a million dollars, or a total of
more than $5,5000O0 to his Govern
ment and to charity, is now held up
by the Junior Senator from Washing
ton as being guilty Of as high a de-
gree of criminality as has ever been
perpetrated by racketeers who were
finally put in the penitentiary.'
Speech Blot on Record.
HE refers to Mr.. Du Pont and his
friends as 1eeches.' blood suckers as
'rascals' and crooks, and it seems to
me that 1t is not too much to say
that that speech will ever remain a
blot upon the Senator's record. If not
blot upon the record of this great
body itself.
1T does one thing, however-it
bears out the prediction of Mr.. Farley
democratic chairman) that the 1886
campaign is to be the dirtiest in all
history"
Hastings said that on his 1929 tax
return. Du Pont claimed charitable
deductions Of s774,332, but that reve-
nue agents found a larger sum, $685.
473. actually was deductible.
Later. Hastings said. the Govern
ment reversed a position of long
standing on certain charitable deduc-
tions, and sought to collect a def1ci-
ency tax of $164,477.
Supreme Court Decree Awaited.
He said that both sides agreed to
wait until the Supreme Court decided
similar case and that the court on
November S, 1884, decided against the
Government.
However, he continued, "after the
Liberty League had become somewhat
active" in 1885 the Internal Revenue
Department questioned Du Pont. ask
ing him II the securities transactions
between him and Raskob were bona
fide." Du Pont said they were.
Referring to the departments queS-
ton, Hastings said:
Here was the implication Of a
charge of fraud. Here was intima-
ton of terrorism in government"

"Oh. soon"

Meanwhile, the Presidents request
for the $2,249,178.375 appropriation to
meet bonus payment costs-a formal
business letter which did not mention
taxes-was made public by Speaker
Byrns. The Speaker said he would
refer the letter to the Appropriations
Committee.
Dought0n Awaits Word.
Chairman Doughton Of the Ways
and Means Committee, where tax leg
islation must originate, said he did
not see that Mr.. Roosevelt's request
for funds necessarily meant new tax
legislation would be sought. He re-
iterated it was his disposition to await
definite word from the White House
or the Treasury before doing anything
at all on taxes.
Chairman Harrison Of the Senate
Finance Committee expressed a similar
view.
Text Of Letter.
The text of the Presidents letter:
Il have the honor to transmit here

DEMOCRATS NAME
JAMES H. HUGHES
FOR u. S. SENATOR
McMullen Candidate For
Governor; Allen For
Congress In Peace Move
COOCH FOR LT.-GOV.
Convention Ends In Har-
mOny; Guffey OF Penn
sylvania Spoke.

| Presenting a united front after
early wrangling, Democrats of the
State, in convention on Tuesday,
nominated the ticket on which they
will go before the voters of Della
ware at the November election.
James H. Hughes, of Dover, was
made the candidate for United
States Senator; Richard C. McAlul-
len of Wilmington, the candidate for
governor, and William F. Allen of
SeafOrd, the candidate for Congress.
Exercising political strategy, lead
ers of the party, in the closing min
utes of the cOnclave Tuesday evening
succeeded in pacifying all factions.
They averted the threat of a bolt
that had been openly voiced earlier
in the day, brought about unity
among the cOntending forces, and
finally engineered a unanimous vote
in the convention for the entire list
of nominees.
In addition to the three places at
the head of the ticket, they nomi-
mated Edward W. COOch of CoOch's
Bridge as candidate for lieutenant
governor after he had failed to win
nomination for governor for which
he had been a candidate in a three
cornered fight with Mr.. McMuIlen
and Henry R. Isaacs of Wilmington.
Aliens Strength Surprises
Aliens nomination for Congress
was the result of the peace move.
Il was brought about by the surpris-
Ing strength which he had displayed
in his contest with Mr.. Hughes for
the nomination for United States
Senate. Although Allen said en-
phatically Monday night that If he
did not win the nominee for the Sem
ate, his name would not be on the
ticket, he rec0nsidered late Tuesday
afternoon at the urging Of leaders
from all sections and agreed to ac-
cept the Congressional nominations.
His one proViso was that his selec-
tion for Congress must be unani-
nous. This came near disrupting
the peace negotiations, but, after
separate caucuses. delegates from
the various districts agreed to throw
heir support to him.
Ernest c. Blackstone of Millsboro
vas made the candidate for State
Treasurer and James w. Wise of
Dover for State Auditor.
Presidential electors were nom
mated as follows:
New Castle County, Henry T. Gra-
lam, Wilmington; Kent County, DR..

ROTARY GOVERNOR
GUEST OF LOCAL CLUB
George E. Brown, Governor OF 50th
District, Addresses Milford CIub

,, The district governor, George f
Brown, who is governor of the RO-
taTy District including the entire
State of Delaware. parts of Pennsyl-
vania Cincluding Philadelphia) and
also New Jersey, paid his official
visit to Milford Rotary Club on
Monday evening, August 81.
Governor Brown delivered a splen-
did address, touching on the various
phases of the Rotary International.
He stated that Rotary is no longer
on trial, as it has developed its val
ne to the world at large Although
the organization membership
throughout the world is comprised
of only 10000 members. they are
the pick of every community. and
their influence far Outnumbers their
numerical strength. Although Rotary
stresses service above self, it still
believes in the profit motive in bus
mess: namely, a merchant or man
ufacturer is entitled to fair profit,
but for it. he must give unstinted
service. The Governor stressed
strongly the fourth object of Rotary
which strives for international un-
derstanding, and showed many in
stances where Rotary influence has
either lessened the tension between
conflicting nations, or, as in the case
OF the war between Paraguay and
Bolivia. actually forced the armis-
tice and transacted the peace terms.
Drfop 20 fha raunIar mpptiUu the
governor met in conference with the
president and board of directors.

from Ocean City. was presented
with a cOrsage.
