IN MONOPOLY WAR
Cummings Says Sum vii! Be
Used in Relentless Anti
Trust Fiqhts.

Attorney General Cummings has
asked the Budget Bureau to add a mil
lion dollars to the customary appro-
priation for the Antitrust Division of
the Department Of Justice to carry out
an intensive war against industrial
monopoly
The added fund, Mr.. Cummings told
reporters at his press conference to-
day, would more than double the pres
ent appropriation for antitrust in
vestigation and prosecution.
The extra money would be used, he
said. to increase the divisions legal
staff and defray the cost of other ac-
tivities involved in pressing antitrust
action.
At the same time. the Attorney Gen.
eral disclosed he is preparing data for
consideration by Congress with a view
to showing the urgent need for an
overhauling and extension of Federal
laws against monopolistic practices on
the part Of great corporations.
The antitrust problem is No.
on my list of things to be DONE"
Cummings said We need more funds
and more men, as these cases are most
complicated and take an enormous
amount of time. I've been preaching
until I'm almost tired of hearing my
own voice that the antitrust situation
Is a very important problem"
He said a major antitrust prosecu-
tion costs the Government about $780,
600 year. Thus, he pointed out, an
additional million dollars would enable
the Department of Justice to prose-
cute 10 major cases per year.

First President Held "AImost

Present u. S. Action.

IT NOT A LOCAL MATTER
Wallace Reads Speech to Land
Grant College Group-Bill
g. Not Mentioned.

President Roosevelt today cited
George Washington's career in saying
it was almost certain" the First Pres
ident would have favored present day
Government action to aid farmers. ;"
Washington, Mr. Roosevelt said,
showed by his own words that he
considered agricultural production
even in his time to be much more than
a local matter"
The Presidents remarks were read
at historic Mount Vernon, Va. home
OF Gen. Washington. by Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace before the Asso-
citation of Land Grant Colleges and
Universities. They were broadcast
nationally.
Mr.. Roosevelt. who was kept in bed
at the White House by an infected
tooth, pointed to the elaborate farm
ing operations of Washington. and
said "let us resolve that We will be
worthy Of his great example"
Let us resolve" the President wrote
In his address, that as a Nation VIC
Will not neglect the fertility of our
soil or the integrity of our farm homes.
Let us resolve that. now and ALWAYS,
the great art of husbandry shall have
Its rightful place in our American
life"
While the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee was considering a new farm bill,
one OF the principal pieces of legisla-
ton for the special session of Con-
gress, Mr.. Roosevelt's s message sounded
from Mount Vernon only seneralitie.
on the farm problem. He did not take
up details of pending legislation, or
refer specifically to the farm bill.
Before going to Mount Vernon
Secretary Wallace had testified before
the Senate committee. He also is to
participate in dedication of two steel
and stone memorial arches at the
Department of Agriculture this after
noon and address meeting of the
Association OF Land Grant Colleges
and Universities at the Willard
Hotel.
With all this confronting the Sec
retary, it was considered likely that
an address he has prepared for the
dedication ceremony might be read
by Undersecretary of Agriculture
Wilson.
Many factors had arisen since Wash
lngton's day, Mr.. Roosevelt pointed
out, to complicate the problem of the
farmer today.
He could not foresee that our pro-
ter live tariff policy. adopted in the
beginning to foster infant industries" !"
declared Mr.. Roosevelt. would put
agriculture at a permanent disad-
vantage. He could not foresee that
mortgages on farm land would become
an important part of highly complex

The Washington Community Chest
campaign passed the halfway mark
today.
Volunteer workers, at an enthusi-
astic daily report meeting in the Will
lard Hotel turned in 23,6s7 new con-
tributions totaling s23l,s6s. This
brought campaign totals to 1854
contributions totaling s1,ll4,575. or
54.13 per cent of the all-time record

The workers earlier were told they
should go about their duty with the
consciousness they are doing a favor
to those from whom they take money.
Making his first public address since
his election to Congress, Representa-
tive Bruce Barton OF New York said
volunteer solicitors should never feel
the slightest embarrassment in asking
for large contributions.
Giving Is Living.
There is no disease more baneful
than the hardening of the arteries of
the spirit" Mr.. Barton said. The
kindly impulses of the heart can be
kept young and fresh only by con-
slant exercise. Unless the fountain OF
charity is regularly stimulated, its
waters grow brackish and sour. To
lose the habit of giving is to begin
to lose the habit of living.
Thus, when you stimulate the un-
selfish interest of one of your pros
poets you have rendered him a price,
less service"
The speaker encouraged Chest
workers to go forth in the sense that
