which took 10 lives.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (UP)
The federal government, it was
learned today, is working on dual
program to increase the immediate
safety of airline flights over the
deadly Rocky mountains and to
conceive a long-range method of
insuring safe air voyages over the
continental divide. go
The immediate objective, 1t was
learned, is development of tech
nical aids to prevent such accidents
as the fatal airliner crash which
cost 10 lives in the Wyoming noun
tains yesterday.
The long range program was un-
derstood to concern government CO.
operation with transport lines to
study the possibilities of sub-strat-
osphere flights which would have
the triple virtues of speeding plane
schedules, lessening the amount OF
time over danger areas, and giving
pilots a longer range in which to
glide to the safety of landing fields
when trouble develops.
Both programs, it was understood,
will be designed primarily to COM
bat danger over the mountain areas
Bureau of air commerce statistics
show that more than one third OF
the persons who have lost their
lives in transport crashes in the
last 10 years have been in accidents
in the Rocky mountain region.

HELPS CONGRESS
ACT
Will Permit of Giving Presi-

War Times

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. = Out of
the Supreme Court decision uphold
ing the Bolivia-Paraguay arms en-
barge is almost certain to come a
Congressional drive to give the
President more and more power I'M
der the Neutrality Act.
The decision stated that certain
gun makers, aviation companies
and other equipment to Bolivia in
1854 in violation of the Chaco arms
embargo must take their punish
ment. The accused, in defense, had
commended the President, in i'm
posing the embargo, was exercising
powers which Congress could not
delegate him. The Court simply
said ''phooey'' to that
In fact, the Court said, while
there are limitations upon the dis
cretionary authority that can be
delegated to the President in do
nestle affairs, there are few lifnita-
tons upon the authority which can
be delegated to him in foreign af-
fairs.

FARMERS TOLD
THEY ARE not
so VERY MUCH
Only About One-third of
Population and They Are
Getting 100 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Jan. Zone OF
Secretary Wallace's jobs is to pre-
pare farmers for little disap-
pointment now and then. He has
been doing that recently.
Speaking before the American
Farm Bureau Federation at Pasa-
dena, Cal, Wallace again reminded
these farmers that they probably
could not have AAA, even though
at a meeting in Washington they
said they wanted it even more
than the crop insurance program
he is trying to sell them.
At the Pasadena meeting he
told the farmers that agriculture
was no longer forgotten industry
That was sugar coating. The core
of the pill was his reminder that
after all the farmers are only about
one third of the population and
that since 1888 their condition has
improved until now they are get
ting nearly 100 per cent" parity
lin farm prices.

Fur shipments sent exports OF

Gold exports were down Slightly

EVEN NORMAL GRANARY

Again he brought up crop insur-
ance and the ever normal granary
The difference between crop insur-
ance and the AAA is that the
Government pay the farmers boun-
ties for regulating production under
AAA while under crop insurance
the farmer, in large sense, pays
his own bounties.
Under one form of crop insur-
ance advocated by Wallace, sur
pluses would be stored in fat years,
either by the farmer or by ths
Government in the farmers name
Then in a lean year the farmer
would be paid back part or all OF
the crops he has stored in the fat
years. These would be paid back
in proportion to the farmers losses.
Not only is that plan intended
to prevent the farmers crop re-
turns fluctuating violently, but to
stabilize the amount of crops reach
ing the market each year, thus
stabilizing prices.
Frankly agreeing that a series OF
fat years might pile up unmanage-
able SURPRISES, Wallace reminds the
farmers that some sort of control
must go along. He suggests con-
tinuation of soil conservation, which
brings benefit payments, and ex-
tension of the land retirement pro-
gram. Not always can the country
count on droughts,t such as 1884
and 1886, to wipe out the surplus.

Gains Diplomats

That was soothing to many dip
lomatic brow. Weeks before the de-
cision came down, State Department
officials expressed fear, privately OF
course, that decision limiting the
Presidents powers in the Chaco case
might upset the Neutrality Act. This
measure, passed first in 1885, directs
the President to embargo arms ship
ments to all nations at war, with
out preference. The principal dis
erection allowed him is in deciding
when there is war.
Two reasons are advanced for
the State Departments concern:
First-The Neutrality Act has
become immensely popular.
Second-It forms the founda-
ton of the United States par
ticipation in the Buenos Aires
Peace Conference.
With his sample case containing
an American model Neutrality Law
Secretary Hull went to Buenos Aires
to try selling the idea to all the
Americas. 1t was big assignment
and Mr.. Hull didn't fully get it
across. He got part way. An agree
ment was reached by which all the
American republics, in time of war
danger in the Americas or abroad,
will consult together in an effort
to reach common basis of &C
ton.
