$4,000 ASKED
FOR ARBORETUM
Agriculture Bill Seeks Fund
to Make U. S. Project the
Worlds Greatest.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

To make a start on the worlds
greatest arboretum, which will cover
more than 3S5 acres, $4,000 was in
cluded in the Agricultural appropria-
ton bill reported to the House today.
This is an increase of S97 500 over the
current appropriation and an increase
Of $4,000 over the budget estimates.
Chairman Cannon of the Subcom-
nlittee which reported the bill, empha-
sized that Congress intends to make
this not only the greatest outdoor
nature study laboratory in the world,
but a beautiful recreational center.
The arboretum was authorized by
an act of Congress approved March
4, 1927, for botanical research and
education.
Specimens of all species of plants
suited to outdoor cultivation in this
region will furnish the basis for
geological aud botanical studies. 1t
will provide also such library, her.
bariunl, greenhouse and nursery facil-
tiles as may be needed to carry out the
scientific studies.
A large amount of land still re-
mains to be cleared and the land
already cleared is being prepared for
planting with material already OBJ
tanned. Representative Cannon as
sured his colleagues today that great
strides on the project may be ex-
pected during the coming year.
The bill reported today carries also
an increase of $4,000 over the budget
estimates for additional low cost roads
at the Beltsville fruit and vegetable
research center.

Air Bureau Officials Probe
Propaganda by Plane at Game

Bureau Of Air Commerce inspectors
took an interest today in the airplane
advertising stunt staged over Griffith
Stadium yesterday while President
Roosevelt was watching the seasons
opening base ball game.
A plane circled the stadium eight
times, flying behind it a string of
floating letters spelling:
PLAY the game. Don't pack the
court"
Obviously the work of opponents of
the Presidents court plan. the demon
stration merely amused the Chief Ex-
ecutive, who laughed heartily when he
saw it.
Commerce Department inspectors
found the plane was piloted by w. L.
Burial Of the Sky-Ad Co, Inc, with
headquarters at the Curtiss-Wrig
Airport, Baltimore.
Associates Of his company said mo
information was being given out as to
who sponsored the fight" and the
Commerce inspectors said they had
not tried to learn their identity.

1t is understood, however, that the

advertising bureau had a permit for
the stunt.
Burial took off from the Baltimore

the sign and refueled before going

LOS ANGELES, April 2O.-Clark
Gable, calm and silent. came into Fed
eral Court today to tell a jury he is
not the father of 13-year -old Gwendo-
line Norton.
The film stars appearance at the
Federal Building precipitated an in
vasion of women and deputy marshals
prepared to handle full house.
This will be the first time I've ever
been on the witness stand" Gable said
Gable is chief Government witness
in the trial of Mrs Violet Wells Nor
ton, who is charged with trying to
extort money from him to care for her
daughter Gwendoline.
The Government alleges that the
47-year-old woman named Gable as
the father of the girl. born of ro-
nance in England in 1922 and 1923.
Gable, who goes in for casual, semi
sports attire, was conservatively at

nation of grade crossings and s5,OO0,-
600 for Federal-aid secondary or
feeder roads. The major part of the
increase, S90,000000, was ear-marked
for the regular Federal aid-primary
highway system.
The measure carries S4,000000 for
the Farm Credit Administration and
an authorization for the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corp. to spend $l5,000,000
on administrative expenses.
During hearings on the bill, both
Wallace and Tolley expressed belief
additional legislation, experimenting
the soil conservation act, would be
needed to obtain for the farmer his
rlghtful share of the national income.
Tolley added, however, he did not
know how production control could be
leglslated, in view of the Supreme
Courts A. A. A. decision.
The court held in that case that the
Federal Government could not regu-
late crop production.
New Program Studied
The Agriculture Department, Tolley
said, had been studying crop produc-
ton control as part of a five-point
program which would be added to soil
conservation activities in an attempt
to bring farm income and prices to
parity with those of industry.
The other parts that have been
under consideration for two or three
months, he said, are:
l. Expansion of commodity loans
on products held in storage by farm
ers to keep excess supplies, In years
OF heavy yields, from depressing
prices.
2. Payment to farmers, in addition
to soil conservation benefits for addi-
tlonal acreage reductions in years
When supplies become too large.
8. Continued purchase of surpluses
to remove them from the market.
4. Speaking of possibilities of assur-
ing farmers stability of income, Wal
lace said: Il think that a system of
commodity loans, backed in the end
by production control that will sustain
the commodity loans, will bring about
that stability"
In order to be sure that the whole
program would not fall down on ac-
count Of an increase in particular
supplies piling up in granaries, and
the failure on the part of the farm
ers to make the proper adjustments"
Tolley said, Il feel that there should
be provision, if possible, for definite
and positive production control of
specific commodities if and when sup
plies get out of hand.
1T would be our hope, of course,
that this last resort or step would be
something that would be put into ef-
feet only under very exceptional cir
cumstances."
A bit later, Representative McFar-
lane, Democrat, of Texas, remarked:
Il would like to have Mr. Tolley tell
the committee how we are going to
approach that production control
problem in the light of the triple-A
decision"
II cannot answer that" Tolley re-
piled. In our minds, it is not at all
sure that any of these acts-even
the soil conservation and the domes-
tic allotment acts-would be upheld
by the court"
The House heard that "inefdciency"
OF relief labor added about 33K, per
cent to the cost of construction of

projects.

Meanwhile, trouble brewed in North

mine, mill and smelter workers has
been holding meetings.
Toronto officials of the Mcintyre
Porcupine and Hollinger gold mines
joined in declaring the operations
would be indefinitely shut down" II
strikes were called.
John P. Bickel, president of the
Mcintyre Porcupine firm, said: When
say shut down mean shut down.
If my men don't want to work for
me they don't have to. We won't
suspend operations merely to nego-
tiate; we'll shut down until the men
are ready to 60 back to their jobs"
He praised Hepburn for his stand
against C. I. O. and said Ito have paid

tionship at present existing throughout

cannot be condoned."
Both Bickel and ]. r. Timmins,
president of Hollinger- Consolidated.

Mcintyre concerns would affect about

NEGOTIATIONS RESUMED.
G. M. Agrees to Meet Strikers After
-isst Plan Is Refused.

isst Plan Is Refused.
OSHAWA. Ontario, April 20 (P.-
General Motors of Canada agreed to-
day to resume negotiations with COM
mittee of It's 300 striking employees
this afternoon.
The company issued the following
statement:
The company at the request of
G. H. Willard (of the strikers, has
agreed to meet the Negotiating Com
mittee to discuss basis of negotia-
tons which would follow return of
the men to work The committee will
be the same as that which negotiated
with the company prior to the strike
call"
The strike issue is recognition of
the United Automobile Workers. Mil
lard is president Of the Oshawa local.
The speed OF this new peace move
surprised observers after the strikers
rejected a company proposal at a
drama-packed mass meeting last
night.
So far the company has insisted
it would never recognize the interna-
tional union as representative of its
workers, while the strikers with equal
determination have stood up for their
demand for unqualified union recog-
milton.
The strikers even voted down Hugh
Thompson, U. A. w. A. organizer,
last night. Thompson had approved
the company proposal.
Today's peace move was the second
III rapid succession since Premier
Mitchell Hepburn, outspoken oppo-
nent of John L. Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization, retired from
the picture.
Hepburn broke up his last peace
conference Saturday when repre-
sentatives Of the strikers started to
talk by long-distance telephone with
Homer Martin, U. A. w. A. president.
This thing is not going to be set
tied by remote CONTROL" he said at
that time.
The $500 strikers looked hopefully
to Washington, where the Executive
Board Of the United Automobile
Workers of America was in session,
considering q sympathy strike in the
United States to enforce the Cana
dian demands against General Motors
The workers last night booed and
Kissed Mayor Alex Hall of Oshawa,
who urged them to accept the company
