CROP CONTROL
FIGHT PUSHED
BY LEADERS

Conceding impossibility of OBJ
tanning farm legislation at this ses-
sion, agricultural leaders yesterday
said President Roosevelt promised
them continued support in their
fight for crop surplus control.
Ed ONeal, head of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, and
Earl Smith, Of Illinois, in a state
ment after a conference with the
President, said:
Congress cannot escape its
responsibility or excuse its own
indifference by claiming that the
farmers themselves are divided
upon the best course of action"
Bill To Be Ready
At the same time, Representa-
tive Marvin Jones, of Texas,
chairman Of the House Agricul-
ture Committee, announced q
farm bill will be ready for the
next session of Congress.
The committee feels further
study of the subject is needed Gin
view Of the differences Of opinion
among farm interests" as to the
proposed legislation.
The farm leaders received no
encouragement from the Admins
tration in their plea for a recess
Of Congress now instead of an adj
journment.
Irked by Delay
In their statement, O'Neal and
Smith added:
THE American Farm Bureau
Federation is deeply disappointed
over the enforced delay.
81 will continue however, the
fight for adequate surplus control
legislation necessary to insure that
surplus reserves of basic farm
crops will be a blessing instead
of wrecking the price levels of COM
modities.
EFT is believed that upon reach
ing home Representatives will rec
ognize their mistake and be will
ing to return in october to enact
adequate legislation in time to pre-
vent the otherwise disastrous ef.
feet of surplus production"

MEDICAL BODY
! UNSHEALTH
MEETING

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June %.
The Alexandria Medical Society,
which was responsible for the Wiz.
ginia Health Commissions recent
investigation and report on the
city health office, will not partici-
pate in city councils investigation
of the report and city health con-
ditions at its special meeting to
morrow night.
Instead. the medical body has
filed a memorandum setting forth
its position with members of the
council, Attorney Charles Henry
Smith, spokesman for the physi'
clans, announced today.
.. Matter of Record
Smith said:
1--WE will not undertake to
compete with those who will be
at the meeting to speak in de-
Tense Of the health office. The
medical society already has
called attention of the council
10 certain abuses of the health
department system"
The State health commissions
recent investigation of the Alex.
Andria health departments was the
result of the refusal of the Medi'
cal Society to recognize the city'S
health office and to recommend 1t
for a share of State funds that
were to be allotted for prenatal
work.
In his report, DR.. I. C. Riggin,
State health commissioner, termed
work in the city health depart
ment unsatisfactory: criticized
free medical treatment being given
INDECENT persons at the health OF.
flee: held that DR.. w. Lewis
Schafer, city health officer. should
not be permitted to engage in
private practice after office hours,
and objected to the departments
system of records and to work Of
the sanitary inspector.
Cites Law Violation
The memorandum, filed by
Smith with members of the coun-
Gil, points out that the State law
and the city charter are being vio-
lated by failure of the council to
establish a board of health to
supervise activities Of the health
department, and undertake to
show that the city health officer
is illegally appointed because the
chapter provides that he shall be
elected by the council on nomina'
ton of a board Of health.
Under the State law, a city'S
board of health is composed of the
mayor, the clerk of court and one
licensed physician, Smith said.
Alexandria has never had such a
board.
The spokesman previously an
nounced that the Medical Society
will resort to legal action, if neces.
sary, to force the council to com.
ply with these requirements Of
State and city laws.

Extra Busses Pressed Into Service Yesterday-NO
 Major Damage Results

Though the city was thoroughly drenched, Waterbury escaped major damage from the storm which bee gan Tuesday and ended early last night. Approximately inches of rain fell during the downpourp which was accompanied by occa- sional heavy gusts of wind,
 The Connecticut Light & Power Co. reported that its service had not been interfered with by the storm, though the current load was very heavy yesterday in view of the fact that the cloudiness of the day found factories and offices using lights steadily. The Southern New England Telephone reported that only Q few phones were out of or- der during the day, and these lines were quickly restored. No lines were reported down.
 The Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go. ran extra buses throughout the day because of the weather. The busses ran close to schedule and the only untoward in- cident was the miring of @ bus on Baldwin street, when 1t sank in re- cently-filled excavation. Workmen spent several hours extricating the vehicle.
 Yesterdays rainfall was one of the highest in years for october. The record fall was 4,6 inches, set Oct. 24, 1928.
 Downtown streets were deserted throughout most of the day. Um- brellas and raincoats were of little assistance, as the rain swept down in sheets. ..
