Apparently the old days when farmers didn't buy any. thing unless they had the cash in hand to pay for 1t are over forever"
 He slowly shook his srlow-topped head. "All we need now is a little land boom and America will be off again. Lots Of US have learned mighty little in these bitter years.
 "But despite all that, people seem to want to be told the truth" he added after Q pause. They're bee wildered and downright worried. They want someone to tell them what's what. For one thing they're worried about the younger genera. tion."

Views With Alarm Proudly
 Words put down in black and white lose considerable of their vio- lence as compared to the way they come booming out of the mouth of this determined Hawkeye, 8 staunch and 100 per cent opponent of New Dealism. He Is a deep-feeler and a viewer-with- th-alarr1, as you'll quickly obsreve from reading, in the accom- paning box, his answer sto my ten questions on vital issues of the 1036 campaign.
 As a man who has always been vitally interested in actual farming conditions, and particularly in the plight of the corn-belt farmer, his views of the AAA are of importance. Under no circumstances" he an. l1ounced, "do I believe that the Fed- erai government should be Q party to curtailment of production in either industry or agriculture"
 Planned national economy, he con- tended, Is in direct antagonisnn to states rights. Perhaps I am old fashioned" he said, "but no one has yet been able to explain to me how Q full dinner pail for the worker Is to be provided under Q program of scarcity and high prices" v, Surrender Not His Line
 Very much in line with the French philosophers attitude toward spinach, Senator Dickinson doesn't like anything about the New Deal, and he's glad he doesn't like 1t, be- cause if he did like it he might fall for some of it--and he doesn't like 1t.
 All in ell he's . rugged old fight- CT who would rather die than Stir- render. He's concerned with what are popularly known as the "ternal verities." He recalls with relish his self sufficient and self-suStaining boyhood on his fathers Iowa farm. His mother at 90 still operates 1t.
 T visited her out there only last week." the senator told me, his voice suddenly growing mellow. "She said she had 1000 bushels of corn left in the crib-and that she guessed she'd just keep it awhile longer. It was the same as money in the bank; 80 much saved"
 
 MOurns Lost Frugality
 Thrift and saving, in Senator Dickinson's eyes, have become lost American virtues. More than little of the misfortunes of the farmer could be traced back to the fact that he had first of all gone in debt, and then had simply got in the habit of spending too much money. The years of the depression had sharply pulled up MT. Average Farmer, but wheth- CT the lessons had been fully learn- cd was question.

DUTCH, SWISS,
BELG|ANS IN
GOLD PACT

Impetus was added to the world
monetary sterilization movement
yesterday when Belgium, Holland
and Switzerland indicated they
would adhere to the tri-power gold
currency agreements between the
United States, England and
France.
These former gold bloc nations,
which are in a position to join in
the agreements through establish
ment of currency sterilization
funds following recent revalua-
tions of their monies, are expected
to make formal announcement Of
their positions soon, State Depart
ment officials disclosed.
Italy Stays Out
Italy, however, which devalued
the Ira following the French re.
alignment of the franc, is not ex-
pected to adhere to the agree
ments because she failed to set up
a sterilization fund. Besides, there
is little international speculation
in the Ira, it was explained.
Meanwhile announcement that
the Treasury gold hoard swept past
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mark the
day the tri-power gold exchange
agreement became effective, estab-
fishing world record, was made
by Secretary Morgenthau.
Delayed reports for October 10
on secret operations of the stab
ilization fund showed the gold
hoard at $11,O01 ,612,764.
Morgenthau explained some is
millions in shipments of bullion
had begun before the gold OK
change agreement was reached
and was not related to the accord.
Reversal Expected
He definitely indicated that a
reversal in the flow of gold was
expected to start within a few
weeks.
The huge gold holdings make
impossible the execution of the
Governments silver purchasing
program, officials conceded.
Despite purchases of around
300 million dollars in silver in
the last two years, the supply,
valued at about 1900 millions, is
only about half the required
amount of 1866 millions, officials
explained.
Under the act, Secretary Nor.
genthau was directed to buy silver
until the price reached $1.29, or
until the monetary stocks reached
one silver dollar to three gold
dollars.
Takes All Offered
Morgenthau said he is buying
little silver in the London market,
but is taking all offered in China,
Canada, Mexico and South
America.
Morgenthau revealed he was de-
lighted with information that Bel
GUM, Holland and Switzerland,
would join in the tri-power agree
ment.
When these three countries
formally announce their inten-
tions, around $4,000 millions of
the worlds gold supply of about
21,875 millions will be under the
control of six nations.

WILL CASE RESTED
Caveators' Witnesses Tell
OF Trouble and MeIan-
ChoIia OF Bride.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CARTHAGE, N. c., February 49,
The case of the Caveators in the
$3.50, 900 suit over Mrs. Elva Statler
Davidson's will was rested at 1920
am. in Superior Court here today.
Immediately after the objectors
rested, counsel for H. Bradley
Dadvidson, jr., of Washington. her
husband, requested a 30-minute recess
for conference and Judge Don
Phillips granted the request.
The Caveators closed their case
after calling four minor witnesses.
Tells Of Her Melancholy.
One of these, Rev. T. A. Cheatham
of Pinehurst, added to previous testi-
mony that the attractive, young
Statler heiress was depressed the night
before she was found dead of carbon
monoxide gas in the garage Of her
Pinehurst home last February n. less
than two months after her marriage
to Davidson.
The witness said he saw Mrs.
Davidson at charity ball at the
Pinehurst Country Club and described
her as melancholy and depressed"
L. M. Pate, manager of riding
stable at Pinehurst, testified that
Mrs. Davidson came to the stable
early the morning of February Is and
arranged for q horse to be ready
for her at IL am.
They conversed for few minutes,
he said, and she told him, Il have
been having quite bit of trouble.
have just got back from New York,
but / expect to ride quite bit more
in the future"
Prior to the recess, counsel for
Davidson, the principal beneficiary
under the contested will, declined to
say whether they would offer re-
buttal testimony.
Coercion Charged.
The Caveators contend that Da-
wilson, with the aid of Barton Leach,
Harvard law professor who drafted
the will, coerced the young heiress
into leaving her share of the E. M
Statler Hotel millions to her husband
Caveators offered testimony yes
terday designed to show the 2l-year-
old heiress was more than normally
susceptible to influence.
In a deposition DR.. Kirby Lunt oi
Concord, Mass, psychiatrist, described
her as highly emotional" when he ex-
amined her in 1888. He attributed q
desire on her part for attention to al
early inferiority complex acquired
when she learned she was an adopted
child
The testimony was largely repe'
tition of that before coroner's in
quest last March, which reported Mrs
Davidson died of carbon monoxidt
poisoning, but left open the question
of accident, suicide or foul play.
MIS-. Milton Statler, widow of Mrs
Davidson's foster brother, told tht
jury that Davidson didn't even have
enough money to buy an engagement
ring" and that "Elva was quite nervous
about marrying him."
"She wanted to be sure whether HI
was marrying her for herself or fol
her money" the witness said.

DRIVE IS RESUMED
FOR ARMY FUNDS
Sponsors of Air Force of
1000 Planes Meet Delay
in House.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
House leaders today renewed their
drive to force passage Of the record
s543, ,000.000 Army appropriation bill.
hoping to clear the measure by to-
morrow night.
Advocates of an air force Of 1000
planes suffered a setback yesterday,
as opponents of the bill succeeded in
delaying its passage.
While the big measure made almost
no progress in the House, the Military
Affairs Committee, meeting in secret,
voted, three to one, against an amend
ment to boost to 300 the 565 new
planes provided in the bill for the
1887 fiscal year.
McSwain Silent.
Chairman McSwain of the Mill
tary Committee, one sponsor of the
plan TO bring the air force to 1000
planes by adding 800 q year, de-
clined TO indicate whether he would
press the move in the House. Some
committee members were skeptical
Of House approval without commit
tee backing.
At the same time, however, the
committee decided to back McSwain in
his proposal to provide funds in the
bill to make the Thomson act ef-
fective. This act, passed by the last
Congress, provides 1000 reserve OH
GERS shall be given a years active
duty annually, with so officers select.
ed each year for permanent active
duty.
Between Two Principles.
Chairman Parks of the subcom-
mittee on the War Department bill
told the House that members of his
committee were confronted on one
hand with the need for keeping ap-
preparations within budget bounds
and on the other of disregarding that
need or subordinating our unani-
nous conviction of the inadeuuacy
Of budget estimates to provide in
proper measure for military defense
preparations. Despite Parks state
ment, there we're indications of op-
position to the measure.
