WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (UP)
A longtime program to stabilize
American agriculture, including
an "ever-normal granary" backed
by .he "big stick" of government
xrep production control, was pro-
posed to congress last night by a
national conference of farm lead
ers.
e The representatives of national
farm organizations, called into
conference by Secretary Of Agri'
culture Henry A. Wallace, unani-
mously recommended legislation
based on his proposals for in
creased federal powers to assure
farmers fair prices and to give the
public a stable food supply.
The proposed "ever normal
granary" plan would be based on
commodity loans to enable farm
ers to keep surplus portions OF
their crops in bumper years off
the market and in storage for use
when production fell below de-
mand. :,
For protection against the pill
ing up of excessive surpluses IN a
succession Of fat crop years, the
conference recommended the use
of additional federal benefit pay.
ments for diversion Of crops and
provision for positive production
control" if necessary.
The suggestion that the govern
ment be empowered to use the
"big stick" of its taxing power to
control production stirred consid-
cradle controversy during the two
day conference. Secretary Wal
lace contended that the ever
normal granary" program would
be futile without this safeguard.

Inc WreckaRe WAS ulsCONeicu
FIVE hours and 10 minutes later by
Frank Fuller in a private air.
plane. The bay was almost light
as day from powerful lights of
tugs and bay craft which Joined
the search after the plane disap-
peared.
The plane was found upside
down with tail protruding about
10 feet from the water. The
wheels were visible.
"There is not a chance in the
world that anyone in the plane is
alive" Doolin said upon his re-
turn from the scene in q relief
boat.
An early plan to tow the wreck
to shore was abandoned as reced-
ing tides left the ship without suf-
ficient water to float 1t. A derrick
barge was sent to the scene but it
was not believed it would be able
to begin salvaging operations un-
til after daylight.
Those aboard were:
Pilot A. R. Tommy Thomp-
son, Burbank.
Co-Pilot Joe Wecesaro, North
Hollywood.
Stewardess Ruth Kimmel, Ala
media.
. Passengers:
Mark Fontana, Reno Margar-
oni, ]. Franklin Gilmore, of San
Francisco; John A. and Gertrude
Grennan, Berkeley; Myron Lorge
and H. d. Freedlander, Los An
geles, and Roger Meyers, Ridge
wood, N. ].
Airline officials had not deter
mined whether the bodies would
be removed from the plane before
it was dragged out of the bay or
until after the wreck was taken
ashore.
The area surrounding the
wreckage was "almost as light as
day" as the result Of hundreds
of boat lights which were focused
on the scene. The sky was cloud
less and starry but adverse tides
prevented speedy salvage work.
Ambulances and doctors re-
mained at the San Francisco air
port throughout the night al
though it was almost certain that
all occupants of the plane were
dead.
The ship apparently landed on
its nose and hurtled over on its
back. The fuselage appeared to
be intact but the tail was smash
ed badly.
Experienced pilots believed that
Thompson misjudged his altitude
above the water and that the
wheels struck the surface of the
bay, pulling the ship over on its
back and sinking it.
If it had landed right-side-up,
they said, it would have. floated
for several hours at the least.

The United States is undoubt-

; century, after the golden age"
of home-life and good literature.
There was time, then, and nobody
begaidged taking it. And people
were happy, in slow, restful
way. But now everybody wants
trailer.
1t is sad that this generation
viii never know the pleasure of
driving a horse-and-buggy along
a Dirt road; the repose of an eve
ming at home with Dickens and
Thackeray and Fielding, or the
thrill of a sleigh ride in the moon
light. Waking was a pleasant
pastime, not a distasteful neces-
sity.
Now, everything is for speed.
Newness goes with speed. Take
away the old car to the junk yard,
take the old chair, the old coat
and hat. People will think you
are "slow." Take away the "nine
old men," Take away the old Con-
stitution. 1t is old, therefore bad,
unprogressive. Tear down the
Grant period mansion and buy a
trailer. You must have a stream
liner" or an electric razor.
But the world is cd. Truth is
old. Wisdom is old, Wise men
are old men. And there is "a lot
o Twin /" in an old car, if you're
not in a hurry. Why join the
sheep that bleat speed, more
speed? Life, lived too fast. is like
an air-ride. You may get there,
but you miss lot of happy mo-
ments along the way. The des.
t;nat:on is always the same.
