EXTEND SOIL
CONSERVATION
PLAN 4 YEARS
But Republicans Attack
Alleged Racketeering
in Payments

WASHINGTON, MAY 20. up
Republicans demanded action to
stop alleged racketecring in farm
benefit payments yesterday as the
senate voted TO extend federal
control of the soil conservation
program for four more years.
Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg.
R., Mich, quoted letter from
a Missouri farmer who said fed
eral agent had told him it was "ali
right" to collect benefit payments
without cooperating IN the pro
gram, TO sustain his charges that
there are some racketS and rack
eteerS under the soil program.
Senator William h. Borah, K"
Ida. agreed with Nandenberg
that the alleged "crOokedneSS'
was not general in the farm ser
vice but said "Some of 1t is up at
the top and | think responsibility
should be fixed"
The racketecring charges came
at the end of debate on Il bill eN-
tending federal administration OF
the program and distribution Of
benefit payments To cooperating
farmers until January |, l9lZ.
Under existing law, the states
would take over the program next
year.
The senate approved the eX-
tension measure without a record
vote and sent it back to the house
for concurrence in minor amend
mentS. after beating down Re-
publican attempt To limit the eX-
tension to two years.
Chairman Ellison ID. Smith, d.,
:. c.. of the senate agriculture
committee. said the four-year eX-
tension is necessary to give time
for the states TO create machinery
for administering the act and for
farm and administration leaders
TO develop q permanent agricul-
tural program.
Minority Leader Charles l.. Nc
Nary, r.. Ore, led the fight Tor
only a two-year extension. 81 do
not see" he said. "why we should
extend this program for four
years when a new program al
ready has been put before us
which believe will almost GER
tainly Supercede the existing pro-
gram"
He referred to u program Spon-
sored by farm organization lead
ers which would substitute pay
mentS to assure farmers a par
ity" price for their products for
the present soil conservation ben
Gift payments and provide strict
federal control Of crop production
through marketing quotas.
Administration leaders have in
dictated the new proposal has little
chance for passage this session.
Senator George W. Norris, Ind:
Neb.. pointed out that If and
when approved, it could provide
Gor abandonment or necessary
modification of the present pro-
gram.
Vandenberg urged that some
method be devised to police the
distribution" of money to farm
ers under the program. He said
that as a result Of previous charg-
cs of racketeering in the service,
II have received many, many let
ters telling of farmers who failed
IN reduce cropS and vet were paid

Agriculture department Off
Gals have pointed out that some
errors are bound to occur in han
ding millions of checks for farm
ers and denied that any mistakes
resulted from "crookedncSS.'
Vandenberg cited letter
which. he said, was from u. w.
Anderson. of Sykeston, Mo. He
laid Anderson wrote that "he had
5cen paid SIS for reducing his
1886 crop although he had har,
vested his crop before he signed
The contract and he did not make
,ny reduction" Anderson claimed
/ federal agent told him 1t was
all right" to take the money,
yandenberg said. .,
At a press conference after the
;cnate debate. Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace said the
department. would be very glad
% investigate any errors reported
n benefit payments and that he
had asked Vandenberg to supply
the names of persons concerned
his charges.

OLD AGE ASSISTANCE AND
AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN

AS figures stand today, 10000
persons will receive old age assist
ance in Montana for the month of
October, totalling a little more than
1927, 100000 and averaging $2074 for
each person. The checks will be
ready for mailing to each one of
the 10000 recipients on October |.
According to reports received to
date, 3,423 children will be entitled
to aid for the month of October,
amounting in all to more than $780,
10000 and averaging $ll.5l per
child. The checks viii be ready for
mailing out on the first days Of the
month.
There has been steady increase
in the number of persons receiving
old age assistance since the program
commenced. During April of this
year, the number of persons report
ed for old age assistance was 9,5b9
and for September it was lofts. an
increase of 1,207 persons not taking
into account minor adjustments and
corrections of the original reports
During the same period the number
of children receiving assistance IN
creased more than 800 There Il
not necessarily anything alarming
or even discouraging in this IN
crease. Very largely these Increase
result from the fact that the Socla
Welfare program is gradually beinl
more and more fully carried int
effect throughout every county 0
the state, says /. M. Brandloro

Money Order
Sales Increase In
Libby Postoffice
BY Paul May

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IT
Money order sales at the Libby past
office rose about $4,000 in June over
the figures recorded for the same
period last year, the general ac-
counting office reports in its latest
compilation of the figures.
The upward trend in amounts of
money sent through the postoffice
was reflected also in the number of
orders sold at Libby.
The government bookkeeping
agency reports total value of Libby's
money order business during last
June at $l5,084.57, while during the
same summer month in 1886, the
total value Of the orders amounted
to $12,09405.
Libby residents turned to the
postoffice to purchase 1,840 separ-
ate orders during the month. the
GAO figures show, and year ago
in June, the Montana city orders
equalled 1886.
Generally speaking, accounting
office experts credit declining money
order sales to bettered business con
ditions, contending that the less
money orders sold, the more people
are turning to private banks and
checking accounts. No definite trend
Of business can be determined by
this index, it was explained, ex-
cept for the individual city, for ir
many sections, as in Libby this year
the June sales of money orders in
creased considerably over last year
yet the business conditions were OF
the upgrade.
