Worry to
Treasury

QN.S.). An American aviator In
a Chinese uniform and what good
or bad fortune has befallen him
is the source Of concern among
Treasury officials.
A few days after the Japanese
Chinese clash over Shanghai and
reports were received of the ter.
rifle aerial bombardments Of the
city, a letter was received from
Frank w. Hollwick, describing
himself as an American serving in
the Chinese air corps.
Hollwick sent draft for SIS for
a Treasury "baby bond" He told
Secretary Morgenthau that he
wanted to save that amount out of
each months pay from the Chi
nese government. So, he added,
he wanted to buy a baby bond and
he planned to buy one each
month.
The draft was on a bank that
since has been closed. The Treas
ury officials are undecided on
whether to try to cash the draft,
or send the bond. One official
said:
1T just goes to show the I'M
certainty Of life. Here is a chap
who had planned to save for his
old age. Before his letter
reached us, he was in war. He
might be alive, yet he might
- be one of those so-called Chinese
aviators, who have been re-
ported shot down by Japanese

WALLACE WHIPS
FARM PROGRAM
FOR CONGRESS.
Secretary Sees Extra
Session Probable

Q.N.S.) An Administration
drive, headed by Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace, to whip farm
legislation into shape as an in
centive for a special session OF
Congress this fall, was under way
today.
Secretary Wallace launched the
Inflated general farm legislative
program. which failed to reach a
vote in the recent session Of Con.
gress, last February, when farm
organization leaders were called
to Washington in an effort to
draft a program.
FAIL TO AGREE
The effort failed, after weeks
of disagreement among leaders Of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, the National Grange, the
Farmers Union, and other organi-
cations.
Late in the session, Secretary
Wallace again urged enactment
of a general farm program, based
on his ever-normal granary plan.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation took up the cry and
submitted drafts of a proposed
bill. Leaders of other organize
tions. however, particularly the
powerful National Grange, refused
to take part.
Bills finally were introduced,
but again they failed to bring
about an agreement. After Wal
lace again had urged enactment of
legislation stronger than the soil
conservation program, President
Roosevelt sent a message to Con-
gress placing farm legislation on
the list of desirable" measures,
but the bills never reached a vote.
FIRST IN ORDER
Congress agreed, however, that
farm legislation should be the first
order of business at the opening
of the session next January.
Wallace, however, pointed to
the criticisms which resulted from
enactment of the hastily drawn
sol! conservation act in the 1886
session, passed by Congress within
seven weeks after the Supreme
Court had held the original A. A.
A. act unconstitutional.
I'VE did a sort Of a job then,
Wallace said today, but there
was a considerable amount Of
criticism.
1.-THE A. A. A. is devoutly pray
ing that the farm program may
be developed before next Jan
uary. I have said right along
that was in favor Of special
