Gus farm organization groups
The junior Senator from Idaho, Mr..
Pope, and l have included in this
measure provisions different from pro-
visions in other measures of a SINH
lar character. which chiefly have to
do with the administration of the
program, and which provide for the
holding OF referendum each year
among the producers of a commodity
to determine whether the program
shall 60 into effect as regards such
commodity.
Under such referendum, if for any
year more than one-third of the pro-
ducers OF given commodity should
vote against the program, then for
that year it would not be made effect
i've as to such commodity. Should
tWo-thirds or more of the producers
OF such commodity at such referen-
dunn vote in favor Of the program, the
program for such year would then be
effective as to such commodity

the measure so that when the pro-
gram is made effective as to any
commodity. it's control and admins

sible, in the hands of the farmers or
producers. Such provisions are de-

more certain Of accomplishing the
ends for which 1t is designed In
other words, the desira bility OF the
program with regard to a commodity
would be question to be determined
by the producers Of such commodity
1t Is my view that the present soil

ment is generally operating satisfac-
tor;ly among the producers and under
present conditions. and such condi-
tions as We have had in recent years.
that act provides good agricultural
program. However. good crops or ab-
normal crops would doubtless in 4
short period create a large surplusage
in major commodities and our con-
tention Is the Congress should provide
a measure whereby the farmers Of the
country would be prepared to deal
with such a situa ton. Such a sur
plusage would likely bring to pass de-
pressed prices to degree rulnoH to
agriculture. Congress should in my
judgment, prior to such anticipated
condition. be prepared and enact a
well-considered measure to deal with
such condition.

S u b way Contractor
Faces Questioning
On Dispute

HACKENSACK, N. j., Feb. 73
G.N.S0.-Two notorious trigger
men," described as hired killers,
were sought today as the murder
ers of Norman Redwood, New
York labor leader.
From a list Of desperadoeS
drawn up by New York police, two
Hackensack detectives and one
from New York selected the names
of this pair as the thugs they
want, and Immediately rushed off
to unrevealed destinations.
With this police activity under
way, Samuel Rosoff, wealthy sub
way contractor, was prepared to
appear in Supreme Court in New
York to fight efforts of New Jer.
sey authorities to bring him here
for questioning regarding recent
labor disputes involving himself
and Redwood.
$4,000 Bail Sought
At the same time, attorneys for
Max Friedman, an associate OF
Rosoff and a prisoner here in the
county Jail as a material witness,
will try to have him released on a
writ Of habeas corpus. 1t was
stated" that if the courts order
Friedman released, authorities will
demand he put up a bail Of $780,
900.
The police list of suspects in the
Staying was composed of names OF
known killers who might under
take a money job such as the
murder of Redwood outside his
Teaneck IN. j. home last Friday.
Police say they believed it con"
tanned the names Of all the GRIM
inals who could have committed
the crime.
Gun Is Traced
A solution of the murder was
also being sought from another
angle as police continued their ef'
forts to trace the most recent own
ership of the .38-caliber revolver
found near the spot where Red
wood was ambushed.
Through an arms manufacturer,
the weapon was traced to a New
York dealer in firearms, and
thence to the late Carroll Potter,
who had been police chief Of

Mourning the death of Repre-
sentative James P. Buchanan of
Texas, President Roosevelt today
issued the following eulogy:
"A faithful and wise cOun-
selOr, an indefatigable worker,
has been lost to our national
life in the passing Of James p.
Buchanan. AS chairman of the
great Committee of ApprOpria-
tiOnS of the House, he dis
charged his duties with great
intelligence and strict fidelity.
"UnmOved by emotion ap-
peal, above partisanship or Sec
tiOnalism, he accepted the re.
spOnSibilitieS of his trust with
the single purpose of serving the
highest interests of the nation
as a whole. l personally mourn
the loss of an old and staunch
friend"
A change in the personnel OF
the House Committee on Reorgan
1zation had to be made as a re.
suit Of the death of Buchanan,
who was chairman.
Speaker William B. Bankhead
today said that although he had
not given the matter full consid
Grafton, it was to be expected that
Representative John j. Cochran
CD of Missouri, ranking major
ity member of the committee,
would be made chairman.
Death came in the night from
a heart ailment suffered for more
than two years. Buchanan entered
Naval Hospital here about 10 days
ago. In 1885 he was there for
three weeks.
In his death Mr.. Roosevelt lost
one of his chief fiscal assistants
and the country lost a vigorous ad-
vocate of government economy.

committee which first passes OH

mitted to CongreSS-the big money
bills to finance the operations OF
