Farm Produce
Prices Studied
World Conditions Shown To
Affect Local Price
Structure

Completing study of agriculture
marketing, the agricultural committet
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers has found that what the
farmer gets for his products may de-
pend great deal more on worldwide
factors such as consumers changes
monetary systems, wars, etc., than or
changes in production or yield due
to the elements or artificial control.
Reporting on farm commodity
prices as they are affected by general
conditions, the committee declared:
During comparatively norma
times, extending over, say one, two o,
three years, with reasonable stable
purchasing power, there undoubtedly
is a very intimate relationship be.
tween volume or production, pei
capita consumption and the price
structure, but in most cases this re.
lationship is no longer localized.
During recent years these price
adjustments, in relationship to volume
of production and consumption, have
been worldwide and are not readily
brought under control within indi.
vidual countries through attempts to
control either supply or demand, al.
though they may be influenced within
individual countries through financial
tax and other artificial devices"
The associations committee is now
in its second year of general study
OF agricultural conditions, the purpose
OF which is to better acquaint in.
austry with agricultural problems.

RETIREMENT VALID
Acting Controller General
UphoIds "Speed.up"
Transfers.

The right OF Government establish
ments to shift employees from one
position to another for the purpose
either of delaying or speeding their
retirement was upheld in . decision
to the Civil Service Commission by
Acting Controller General Elliott,
made public today.
The commission had asked for the
ruling, explaining it often was called
on to adjudicate retirement claims
based on such practice.
Elliott said it would be illegal for
such . transfer to be made after the
employe had passed the retirement
age limit Of the group into which he
was being assigned. Therefore, he
amplifed, no claim for annuity under
such circumstances should be enter.
tanned.
Where the transfer is effected be-
fore the applicable age limit is
reached, however, Elliott emphasized.
even though it Is Immediately prior
to such date. the claim is valid.
1T is understood" he said. that
under existing laws and regulations
there Is no prohibition against trans
fer of an employe from one position
to another in different age groups At
any time prior to the time the en-
ploye reaches the age prescribed for
automatic retirement from the posi-
ton in either group. This has per-
mitted administrative officers to re-
tard or accelerate retirement OF en-
ployes either for the benefit Of the
service or Of the employe.
If this condition has not been for
the best interest of the service and
employe, it would appear to be for
correction by legislation or by ap-
propriate regulation approved by the
President"

MARRIAGE CLAUSE
DATAARE RUSHED
Lists Of Couples Expected
to Be Supplied Promptly
for Early Hearings.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The expectation that he will be able
to start open hearings within a week
on the proposal to repeal the married
persons clause" the only remaining
feature of the economy act. was ex-
pressed today by Representative Gris-
void, Democrat. Of Indiana. chair
man Of a subcommittee Of the House
Committee on Expenditures appoint
ed for this purpose.
He has asked for reports from all
Government establishments on the
number Of married couples employed
and expects these lists to be supplied
promptly.
Chairman Cochran Of the Ex-
penditures Committee Is the author
Of the married persons clause" and
is vehemently opposed to having 1t
revoked.
Chairman Griswold has refused to
disclose who the members of his sub
committee are until he Is ready to
start the hearings. The utmost care is
being taken to keep everything secret
until the subcommittee is ready to
open its doors for the hearing.
Even Representative Millard. Re-
publican. Of New York, author Of the
bill which proposes to repeal the
highly controversial clause, has been
unable to find out the personnel of
the subcommittee that will conduct
the hearing, or when the hearing is
to be held. Representative Clifford
of Massachusetts,. ranking Republican
member Of the committee. was greatly
incensed yesterday when he learned
the subcommittee had been appointed
after he left the organization meet
ing. at which he had been assured
that nothing Of importance would be
done.

B0RAH TO DEBATE
NEUTRALITY PLAN
Sees Proposed Legislation
as Threat to Freedom of
Seas Tradition.
BY the Associated Press.

oS tllc hSooCidtGo HiCoS.
Senator Borah, Republican, OF
Idaho. fearful that proposed neutrality
legislation may threaten Americas
traditional freedom of -the-seas policy,
dug in today for emphatic debate on
that question.
Senator Johnson, Republican, OF
California, who has Joined Borah in
many international arguments of the
past, was heading toward the Capital
for the fray Some friends expected
him to line up with the Idahoan.
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, who is
presenting the administrations pro-
posals for permanent neutrality legis-
lation, said today he hoped to get the
committee started on the problem
Monday. Secretary of State Hull
would be the first witness.
Objects to Provision.
Pittman's bill, which he said was
the administration measure, would
make permanent the present manda-
tory embargo on arms exports to
belligerents in time Of war. 1t would
let the President bar shipments Of
other commodities to belligerents on
American ships, a provision to which
Borah objects.
He opposes even more strongly the
mandatory cash and carry" bill pre-
sented by Senator Clark, Democrat. of
Missouri on behalf of members Of the
old Senate Munitions Committee.
Pittman expects the committee to
have little difficulty reaching an agree
ment between his and the Clark pro-
posals, but conceded a major con-
troversy" over the freedom OF the
seas issue.
He denies his bill would surrender
freedom of the seas and questions that
such freedom ever exists in time of
war.
Approved by President.
Pittman said his bill had been ap-
proved by President Roosevelt and
was IAN administration bill" He did
not know whether the President
might suggest additional amendments.
The foreign relations chairman
denied reports in SEN
ate circles that the Chief Executive
had assured England he would op-
pose any neutrality legislation that
threatened to cut off raw materials
from the British Empire in time Of
war.
1t was reported by some Senators
that Walter Runciman. president Of
the British Board Of Trade, had
such assurances to his
government after recent conferences
with the President.
Pittman said the President would
never have approved his bill If he
had any such idea in mind.
