They are shiny, luscious, brilliant in a dark and flashing way--that's why blackberries arc such good friends to the young bride who wants to prove herself an ambitious cook. Thees recipes selected because they are no strain on the June brides August cooking, should be pasted in that growing day-by -day "How To Keep Your Husband" cook book.
 Magic Blackberry Cream Pie
 (9-inch)
 One and one-third cups q cam sweetened condensed milk, IA cup lemon juice, 1 cup blackberries, l-2 cup whipping cream, 2 tablespoons confectioners' (4X) sugar, vanilla wafer or graham cracker pie crust or baked pie shell t9-inch).
 Blend together sweetened con- densed milk and lemon juice. Fold in blackberries. Pour into 9-inch pie plate lined with vanilla wafer or graham cracker pie crust. Cover with whipped cream sweetened with cpnfectioners' sugar. Chill before serving.
 To prepare the crumb crust, roll enough graham crackers or vanilla waters to make 3-4 cup crumbs. Cut enough graham crackers into halves, or vanilla wafers into halves, to stand around edge of pie plate. Cover bottom of plate with crumbs and fill in spaces around edge. Pour in filling as usual.
 The beauty of this pie, from the brides point of view (to say nothing of the hungry groom's) is that mix fnre thickens to creamy filling without cooking and is failure proof.

T0LLEY DEFENDS
FARM PROGRAM
Reveals 100000 Paid to
Interests Headed by Ex-
A. A. A. Officer.
BY the Associated Press,

H. r. Tolley. A. A. A. administra-
tor. defended the Governments farm
program yesterday, and said that most
OF the sensational" criticism of it
is without foundation in fact"
He wrote to Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, Of Michigan, who re-
Gently criticized phases of the pro-
gram. In response to request by
Vandenberg, he disclosed that Mis-
slssippi farms managed by a former
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton executive had received more than
100000 in benefit payments from the
Government since 1898.
Tolley referred Vandenberg to off.
cial reports on these payments to the
Delta Pine g. Land Co., Scott. Miss,
which is managed by Oscar Johnston,
former A. A. A. director, and to the
Delta Planting Co., with which Johns
ton also is associated.
There has been much criticism Of
large payments to big farm operators,
but A. A. A. men have taken the posi-
ton that they are required under the
law, and that it is up to Congress to
change the law if it desires.
Tolley sent five letters to Vancen-
berg, dealing with different criticisms.
In one he said the farm program was
worked out and administered by
farmers Attempts ARE continuously
being made to discredit their efforts
by false and malicious propaganda"
he said.
Tolley then discussed several com.
plants forwarded by Vandenberg.
One OF them involved an attempt to
collect So for dues for the Platte Coun.
ty, Nebr., Farm Bureau Federation
from farmers receiving benefit pay.
ment checks. Tolley informed VAN
denberg this was an error that had
previously been discovered and COR
rected by Claude R. Wickard, A. A. A,

graduated scale is proposed for COM
mercial vehicles, ranging from SIS on
vehicles weighing no more than 1000
pounds, to $3.50 for vehicles weighing
more than $1,000 pounds.
S. Increased taxes on net premium
receipts Of insurance risks written
in the District. The present rate
would be raised from is per cent to
2 per cent, and this would be applied
to the net premium receipts Of the
mutual fire insurance companies and
the fraternal insurance associations,
now exempt from the present levy.
A Parking Tax.
6. Tax to be imposed for privilege Of
parking cars on public highways. This
confers general powers on the Com
mLssioners to make use of parking
meters and leaving to them the fixing
OF rates. There has been no decision
on rates though cents for an hour
has been suggested in the Congress
sional Committee. while at the District
Building yesterday there was talk Of
a rate OF S cents for a haE-hour.
7. An amendment to the Districts
present personal property tax laws,
which would put teeth into existing
statutes, principally to empower the
District assessor to examine the
books and records Of banks and other
institutions or individuals which per-
tain to the tax returns due from Dis
trlct residents. He also would be en-
powered to subpoena books and records
and to take testimony.
The Commissioners plan to retain
the Districts Intangible personal
property levy, which last year brought
in some $2,l00,00O With strengthen
ing Of this law, District Assessor Fred
D. Allen believes the receipts will be
greatly swelled, and he has suggested
the increase might go as high as
sl,O00000, but other District officials
insist this estimate Of the increase
is much optimistic.
The amendments also would add to
the present powers Of the District COL
lector OF taxes to distrain and sell
goods. chattels and other effects, in
Guiding stocks, securities, bank ac-
counts. evidences Of debt and the lik:
as a means Of forcing collection of
due personal property taxes.
Gasoline Levy.
8. Amendment of the Districts
gasoline tax law to require the licens-
ing and bonding of gasoline importers,
and to establish more definite chain
of title to imported gas, as a means
OF insurance against any possible eva
sion Of payment Of the gas tax levy.
1t is in this measure that is found
the proposal that the receipts of the
proposed weight tax on automobiles
would be directed into the Districts
special highway fund. This amend
ment also provides that all proceeds
from fees for the registration and
titling of motor vehicles and the issu-
ance of operators permits shall be
placed in the highway fund.
Should this bill to license and bond
gasoline importers be lost, Of course,
the receipts to be collected from the
proposed motor vehicle weight tax
would go into the general fund, un-
less that measure were amended in
Congress to direct such monies into
the highway fund.
Registration Proposed.
A ninth bill is to be drafted by the
Commissioners to provide for the reg

not intended as a revenue measure,
and it is anticipated the registrat ton

Kaiser also explained there are

erage totaling s96 100000.

amount.
More Taxes Needed.
Consequently, whatever increase the
Senate makes in the total of the bill
would necessitate further tax propos-
ais, presumably when the tax bills
reach the Senate.
While the Senate cannot originate
tax legisla ton, under the Constitution,
it is free to enlarge or alter a tax
program that comes to it from the
House. Chairman King OF the SEN
ate's District Legislative Committee.
said yesterday he will call a meeting
to consider the city's revenue situ-
alton as soon as the House acts.
Even II new tax bills are passed
during June, District Auditor Dono-
van has pointed out at the Senate
hearings that the resulting revenue
would not begin to come in imme-
diately. In view Of this fact, there
are strong indications the Senate may
add a clause to the appropriation bill
restoring to the District the right it
had for many years prior to 1927 to
obtain temporary advances of funds
from the Federal Treasury to meet
monthly obligations early in the fiscal
year, pending the collection OF the
city's own revenue.

President Harry Bridges of the
West Coast International Longshore-
mems Association, said yesterday the
10000 members of his organization
probably will shift their union allie
glance to John L. Lewis Committee
for Industrial Organization if the
American Federation of Labor con-
tinues to oppose the c. I. O.
Bridges criticized the A. F.. of L.
after a conference with Lewis, and
said central labor bodies of Portland
and Seattle have ousted two 1. L. A..
locals because of their support Of
progressive unionism"
"Only Course Left Open"
1T the A. F. of L. continues such
purges and does not change its
obstructive attitude toward industrial
organization" Bridges said, there is
no doubt of what action the West
Coast I. L. A. will take. No other
course will be left open to the West
Coast I. L. A. than to join forces
with the C. I. O."
He said his union had authorized
him last week to order referendum
to determine whether the transfer
should be made. Declining to say
when he would call the election, he
said the vote would be taken IF things
continue as they are
If it is taken,' he added, 'the
vote will be almost 100 per cent for
joining the C. I. O."
Neither Lewis nor John Brophy, di-
rector of the c. I. O., would comment
on Bridges threat.
Support Offered East.
The Californian disclosed he had
offered support Of West Coast long
ehoremen to East Coast locals in what
he said was an effort to create a new
national maritime association which
would be, eventually, c. I. o. affiliate
He said many Eastern locals were
ready to leave the A. F. of L.
Informed that an l. L. A. local on
the Pacific Coast had declined to
handle Ford Motor Car products today,
Bridges expressed belief Ford cars
would be tied up if affiliation with
G. l. o. became effective.
