CASABLANCA, French Morocco.
Oct. 30.-French colonial troops and
Moroccan courts joined forces today
in an attempt to quell native ma
tionalist uprisings for which officials
blamed agents of foreign totali-
tartan power"
Firm military and judicial measures
were taken to nip what officials de-
clared was a plot to overthrow the
French protectorate and set up an
independent Arab kingdom.
Heavy troop patrols were established
on the Algerian frontier to prevent
Arab nationalist agitators from flee
ing Morocco. The frontier was prac-
tically closed to all except foreigners.
Soldiers-mostly Sengalese Legion
naires-mounted strong guards around
the strife centers, especially in the
Medina area and in Fee, where the
native quarter was described as ram
pant with nationalism." French mill
tary planes helped patrol the trouble
zone.
Troops and police combined made
nearly / 900 arrests yesterday and were
busy last evening breaking up demon
strations which in many cases de-
veloped into bitter street fights.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 30.-Rep-
resentatives of Illinois agricultural
organizations called upon Secretary
Wallace today to initiate action for
a Government loan of at least so
cents a bushel on the 1887 corn crop.
They dispatched the appeal after
telling the Senate Agricultural Sub
committee yesterday a falling cash
market made a corn loan imperative.
Some of the farmers insisted the
loan should be as high as 81 per
bushel, but at a meeting last night
they voted 80 to l to ask for a 60
cent loan.
The subcommittee consisting of Sen
ators Thomas of Oklahoma, Frazier
of North Dakota and Ellender of
Louisiana is touring the farm belt
to gauge sentiment on agricultural
measures to be introduced at the spe-
eial session of Congress.
The Senators were told Illinois
farmers were almost unanimously in
favor of administration proposals for
crop production control and the ever
normal granary plan.
A majority of the farmers who
appeared at the hearing advocated
continuation of the present soil con-
servation program.

In the meantime, Seabiscuit has been

The War Admiral-Seabiscuit duel Is
off-at least as far as today is con-
cerned.
The 4-year-old Seabiscuit, Mrs.
Charles S. Howard's handicap cham
pion, this morning was scratched from
the $4,000 Washington Handicap,
closing day feature at Laurel, and con-
sequently it will be the field against
the Admiral when the Glen Riddles
3-year-old champion goes postward.
No immediate reason was given for
taking Mrs. Howard's bay son Of
Hardtack out of the lineup. It was
taken for granted, however, that the
heavy rains of the past week have
softened up the track too much for the
liking of the handlers of Seabiscuit,
which was giving War Admiral a f.
pound pull in weights for the mile
and q quarter, being due to carry l30
pounds against 126 for his younger
rival.
Despite the withdrawal of the How
ard horse, there was some keen COM
petition in sight in the Washington,
as well as in the secondary feature for
2-year-olds, the Spalding Lowe Jen-
kins. A crowd of upward of 10000
was in prospect.
A turnout of equal size for the COM
bined local football card also was
| forecast with ideal weather conditions
prevailing. Grid enthusiasts had theiI
choice between Georgetown-Manhat-
tan at Griffith Stadium and Mary

the Terrapins are celebrating home

SUM TO PAY DEBTS
MAY CO IN BUDGET
Two Billion in Obligations
Would Be Liquidated
Under Plan.
By the Associated Press.

L
A balanced Federal budget probably
would send the owners of $4,000, 100000
in tax-free Government securities
searching for new fields of investment
fiscal authorities said today.
They said a substantial sum-per-
haps S400, ,000,0 900 to $500, ,000, ,000-may
be included in the 1888 budget fol-
paying off existing debt.
This, plus operation of financial
provisions of the Social Security and
Railroad Retirement Acts, would
liquidate about $4,000, 100000 of Fed
eral obligations now in the hands OF
the public.
Under the security and rail pension
laws about $500, 100000 of the Gov
ernment debt will be shifted from pri-
vate holders to the Treasury during
the next fiscal year.
Special Obligations.
This transfer will be accomplished
by retiring present outstanding OBJ
legations as they mature Then, in
stead of selling new securities to the
public, the Treasury will issue spe-
cial obligations to security and rail-
road pension reserve accounts.
These obligations are issued against
tax collections under the two social
programs. The cash collected from
the taxes drops into the Treasury's
general fund and is spent for supplies
services, public works or other Gov
ernment expenses.
About 100000 10000 of the special
obligations already have been issued
permitting the Treasury to borrow
this amount without offering secur-
tiles for sale to the public. Some
of the special issues bear 21a pei
cent interest and some per cent
The average interest rate on the
entire s37, ,000,000,000 Federal debt
now is 2.55 per cent.
Even Budget Predicted.
President Roosevelt repeatedly has
predicted Treasury income will level
up with outgo in the next fiscal year
which begins July l, 1888.
In press conference yesterday al
Hyde Park, N. Y, he indicated his
plans for balancing the budget are
revolving around hopes of increasing
the buying power of lower income
groups.
officials said today that whether the
budget balancing and debt retirement
programs for next year materialize de-
pends largely on future business trends
and congressional action on a new
farm program.
Should business continue recent
downward curves, informed persons
said, the administration would have
little chance of bringing spending
within income and cutting the aggre.
gate debt.

BACKGROUND


Minimum tUdges for loomen and

1918, but the Supreme Court ruled
the law unconstitutional in 1928.
The decision 1pdS reuersed last
March tDflen the high court passed

q Minimum Wage Board last July
and it selected the retail trade
industry for first attention in

standards.

of Washington's salesgirls will be Or

reliable reports available today, If there
is no change in decision reached
last night by its retail trade confer
ence-a decision not announced yet
because of technicality in the law.
Reports are that the conference
agreed to recommend minimum wage
somewhere near" s17.50, or about 81
week higher than the old rate of
$3.50 which was fixed by the Dis
trict's original Minimum Wage Board
nearly 20 years ago.
Mrs. William Kittle, chairman of

wage for Washington's 8,000-odd en-

that the decision could not be an

The reason given was that the law
prescribes that minimum wage be
recommended by conference COM

interested parties, and the Minimum

reject this recommendation, or set up
a new conference to consider the prob
