A breath-taking little drama enact
ed on q Virginia bound bus drew the
attention Of Operative No. 0023 the
other day.
The principals were q hard-shelled,
obstinate, but law-abiding driver and
an irate, determined passenger.
The passenger, an elderly, dignified
man, boarded the bus on Twelfth
street near G. He apparently knew
the route the bus would take, but obvi-
ously was not acquainted with the
statute forbidding the discharge OF
passengers within the city limits.
At washington Circle the passenger
pulled the bell cord and waited for the
bus to stop and allow him to alight.
The passenger was disappointed, how
ever. The bus driver, without 80 much
as slowing down, explained nobody
was going to get on that bus until 1t
reached RoSslyn, first stop in Virginia.
There was some cross-examination,
with the passenger demanding "out"
because he was an innocent victim Of
a law he knew nothing about.

Mrs. Jenckes also declared II Con-

ancy Committee, according to the

that Farm Security Administration

be secure in their tenure and immune
to land speculation.
The new agency would be built

would be augmented by legislation TO
help farm owners avoid the loss Of
their lands. to provide ordinary hous.

tory farm laborers and to safeguard
civil liberties Of tenants.
The report. the Times says, calls the
Presidents attention to the fact that
fewer than half Of the farmers Of the
Nation own the land they operate and
that rural civilization is threatened
with decadence"
Nearly 100000 farmers are living
under conditions directly attributable
to tenancy, which makes them
equally easy prey to economic and
even political parasites"
To prevent land speculation, it was
proposed Congress enact a form Of
windfall tax on the proceeds Of land
sales undertaken within three years
Of the time the land was first acquired
by the seller.
In the case of tenants desiring to
buy farmsteads from the Govern
ment, it was recommended they
undergo a trial period Of five years,
during which they could demonstrate
conclusively their desire and ability to
become owners.
No initial payment would be re-

mended, and rates Of payment on
amortization would be determined by

TUGWELL'S VIEWS
MISSING IN REPORT
Farm Tenancy Reform Is
Urged by Wallace Com
mittee Prospectus.
By the Associated Press.

A long-term national program for
reform in farm tenancy will reach
President Roosevelt early next week,
but it was learned today it would not
contain the views Of Rexford G. Tug
well, former Undersecretary Of Agri-
culture
The President said today he would
prepare over the week end messages
to Congress on farm tenancy and crop
insurance.
The report was completed late yes
terday by the special committee ap-
pointed by Mr.. Roosevelt last Decem-
Der, just as Tugwell resigned from
Government service. It's contents
were held confidential.
The President appointed Secretary
Wallace chairman Of the committee
and Tugwell as a member. Tugwell
did not attend either the organization
meeting or the committees final ses-
sion at which the report was drafted.
When he resigned as UnderSecretary
TO become an executive in a large
molasSes corporation, Tugwell was
asked II he had given up all his Gov
ernment connections.
mo, shall always be interested in
the problem Of the low-income farmer
and I will serve on the National Ten
ancy Commission" he replied
Friends said he was in Florida suf-
fering from a throat infection at the
time Of the first meeting and was in
Bermuda at the time of final session.
They said several others named by
the President had been unable to at
tend both sessions.
Secretary Wallace has suggested
that long-term tenancy program
must be much broader than Federal
financial aid to tenant farmers who
are capable Of becoming independent
farm owners.
Wallace has proposed legislative
measures to control landlord tenant
relations, long-term farm leases, and
a program Of education supervision and
assistance for tenants united to be-
come Independent owners.
The Resettlement Administration
under Tugwell started a model tenants
program.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-You have to skip the news, sport and so- ciety pages and delve into the fi- nancial columns to discover the full part played by Mariner s. Ec- cles in shaping the government $ financial policy
 This slimlined banker came into the. New Deal picture as Governor of the Federal Reserve Board He had ideas for taking some of the sting out of depressions, present and future, while not pretending a cure.
 It was summarized in the term budget financing" The scheme, stripped of many ramifications, was to let the budget yaw out Of balance in depressions while federal spend ing helped protect the unfortunate. Interest rates should be driven down to invite legitimate investment at the earliest possible moment.
 On the upswing, the budget should be drawn to balance and enough picked off by taxes both to help brake the boom and to off, set the excess of spending during the depression.

LONDON. March l3.-The big na- val powers are driving ahead with their own building programs so fast that the gunboat-and-patrol fleets of little countries have not much chance.
 Time was when a country with inadequate naval yards could buy at bargain prices warships discard ed by the principal powers. If they wanted a brand-new ship they could get it built abroad.
 But naval authorities here report that with Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, Japan and the United States determined. to build up their own fleets, the rest of the world will have to wait.
 Even the Irish Free State, Swift zerland and Austria have what might be termed the nucleus of a navy. The Free State has one pa trol boat to catch smugglers and prevent foreign fishermen from coming inside Territorial waters, while the Swiss and Austrian boats ply on Lake Geneva and the Dan ube.

Interest Fight

He told the House Banking Com mittee, however, that he believes it unnecessary to, reverse the trend of the interest rate and push it up to help check any excess recovery movement. And on that position he is in one of the most contro- versial seas of government econo- mics.
 He conceded that insurance com panies and other institutional in vestors" were complaining that the government policy of financing at low interest rates (the treasury av- craze now is well below three per- cent) was dangerous. The danger, as they see it, lies in the possibility that interest on longterm securities, such as bonds, ultimately will prove so unattractive that investment in stitutions will dump some of their bonds and put the money into the more speculative market.
 The effect of that, if continued unchecked, might be to skyrocket the stock market and at the same time so damage the bond market that more institutional investors would be crowded out of long term bond securities into the stock market--an upward spiral that takes the breath of people who re- member 1928 and 1929.
 But, says Eccles to the House Committee, that is in part the req son for locking up excess bank re- serves by increasing reserve re- quirements $500 100000 a while back. Simply it is to prevent nq- uidation of an excessive number of long term investments the mon icy from which might drift into the stock market. Aa
