,associating with the highest type of
champion, the emergency relief
Commission has drawn attention to
the fact that no young man with a
previous criminal record can be ac-
cepted as a member Of the CCC.
In a letter sent to all cities in
the state, a copy Of which was re-
ceived at the local department Of
welfare office today by Mrs. Marg-
aret Verdon, Joseph Loughlin, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the state Eric,
makes the following statement:
1.-THE army authorities have asked
us to request local selecting agents
to use great care in considering ap-
plicants, who, at any time, have
had q police or criminal record. The
regulations previously set forth the
rule clearly. Men on probation or
parole at the time of making ap-
plication or thereafter are not elig-
ible for selection, reads the rule.
This should be followed strictly"
The latter goes on to state that
applicants who are released from
parole, just as they may be eligible
for CCC, will not be considered un-
til investigation has been made
The whole affair was brought to
the foreground recently when q few
cases were discovered in connection
with young men with previous
criminal records trying to get in
the CCC.
The letter offers no explanation
In connection with the investiga-
ton Of young men whose names
have been on the police records for
petty offenses, but Is believed that
a complete investigation Of such
cases will probably result in the
applicants being declared eligible.

SENATE LIMITS
TRADE PACT
DEBATE

The Senate late yesterday
reached agreement to limit de-
bate, beginning at p. m. today,
on the bill for a three-year eXten-
sion Of the reciprocal trade act.
This virtually insured passage
Of the measure late today or TO-
morrow. leaders said. The act as
it stands will expire June IL.
Lay Down Barrage
Senator Robinson CD, Of Ar
kansas, majority leader, obtained
unanimous consent to limit debate
after Republican spokesmen had
laid down a heavy verbal barrage
against the Administrations for
eign trade policy.
Senator Borah (R0, of Idaho,
in his first major speech on the
floor this session, charged the re.
ciprocal trade treaties are giving
the American market" to foreign
interests. He declared:
"The purpose Of reciprocal
trade treaties is to find a mar
ket for our surplus commodities
ON q basis Of exchange for the
things which we need and can
not produce.
But in the last two and one
half years the entire burden has
been placed on the American
farmer.
Drastic action is necessary
II our farmers are to continue.
The agricultural population to-
day Is fast passing into a cOndi.
ton of peasantry. We must give
the farmers back the American
market and we must preserve
that market for our American
people,"
Senator Borah cited statements
Of Administration leaders who
have said the trade program is
essential to rebuilding foreign
purchasing power to buy Amer.
lean goods. He said:
"HOw much of that increased
purchasing power has gone
into the purchase Of American
farm products? Very little, if
any. Foreign nations have used
1t to buy American securities.
BUY SECURITIES
Last year OUR total exports
Of farm products had a value
Of S238, 100000. But in that
same year foreign interests in
vested SS72,OOO,OOO in Amer.
lean securities"
Senator Harrison CD, of Mis-
Sissippi, conceded "tremendous"
investments have been made by
foreign interests in American Sc
curitieS. He added:
'But the Federal Reserve
Board has already given some
attention to that and I hope
soon to have the opportunity to
vote for legislation which will
halt these foreign investments
in our securities"
