Asks Press Censorship

CENATOR SHERMAN MINTON
~ of Indiana, who succeeded Hugo
Black as chairman of the senate's
inquisitorial committee, is so vexed
with the newspapers that he has in
troduced bill providing for censor
ship of the press. 1t is as follows:
'Any person, firm, corporation, or
association that publishes in the Dis
trict of Columbia or publishes or
causes to be transported in inter-
state commerce or through the mails
any newspaper, magazine, or other
periodical in which is published as
a fact anything known to said pub
Usher or his responsible agent to be
false, shall be guilty of a felony and
upon conviction thereof shall be
fined not less than $1,000 nor more
than $4,000 and shall be inpris-
oned for not more than two years"
simultaneously the American
Newspaper Publishers association,
meeting in New York, reaffirmed
its determination to defend the free
dom of the press and the constitu-
tional rights of private citizens. It
adopted resolutions condemning the
actions of the Minton committee,
especially in the case of the organi-
cation headed by Frank Gannett.

~ SUMMARIZES THE WORLDS WEEK
G Western Newspaper Union.

Washington correspondents learned
from what they considered trust
worthy source that Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Ford were agreed on but
one issue-that the government
should leave business alone. Mr..
Ford told the Chief Executive there
was too much interference with pri-
vate enterprise by the administra-
ton and that if this were ended re-
covery would return.
Most of the discussion, which was
described as good-humored, CEN
tered around the governments
spending and fiscal policy. Mr.. Ford
clashed repeatedly with Mariner S.
Eccles, chairman of the board of
the federal reserve system. He
stoutly maintained that less spend
ing by the government would re-
store confidence and encourage bust
ness and industry to go forward on
its own. Mr.. Eccles, champion of
the spending policy, upheld the OPP
posite view that the greater the
spending, the more rapid the re-
covery. Mr.. Ford was critical of
spending which increased the pub
lie debt, and so informed the Presi-
dent.

President, who pronounced it excel
lent.
The joint statement said in part:
Sin his address to the nation April
IA, the President stated the common
need and aspiration of us all is the
resumption of normal industry. To
bring about this result calls for
teamwork on the part of govern
ment and industry. We gather from
the Presidents words that he rec
ognizes that we live under an in
dustrial system in which there must
be full opportunity for legitimate
profits.
''It is the responsibility of govern
ment to protect and to encourage
the proper function of business ;.
Wide but honest differences of opin-
ion exist as to ways and means.
"The President has clearly indi-
Gated that he believes that Ameri-
cas- continued prosperity requires
closer cooperation between bust
ness and the government.
'We pledge ourselves to aid to the
full extent of our ability in such
efforts of consultation and co-opera-
ton"

The land forces will be command

The combined sea and air forces
will be under command of British

, Purchases of war supplies, includ-

that France would, if possible, COM

Corn Belt Revolt

FARMERS of the Middle West are
L in open revolt against the AAA
corn crop control program, and the
movement, started in Macomb, H.,
was spreading so fast throughout
the corn belt that officials of the
Department of Agriculture were
considering possible modification OF
the program so as to allow individu-
al growers larger allotments. The
Illinois farmers formed the Corn
Belt Liberty league, and growers
from Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri and Minnesota
who attended the meetings of the
league went home to promote the
organization of branches in their
states. Norman j. Taber, master OF
the National Grange, assured the
league of the Oranges support.
Tilden Burg, president of the or
ganization, said in addressing its
second session: "Our purpose is to
oppose in every honorable way the
un-American program of compul-
sorry crop control. Most of us have
spent our lives on the farm. We
have an affection for our lands and
an interest in their operation that
probably cannot be understood by
politicians in Washington. Our farms
will not be the same when we have
jobholders from Washington telling
us what we can and cannot plant,
perhapS under threat of prosecution
and penalty.
"Above all else we are fighting
for freedom. We positively refuse
to accept the view that we must
sacrifice freedom to obtain pros
perity. On the contrary, we believe
the loss of freedom will mean pow
erty and ruin"

drew near. Gov. George H. Earle,
who seeks the senatorial nominal

General Margiotti accused two
prominent Democrats of taking a
$40, 1000 bride to bring about legisla-
ton favorable to local brewers.
Those two men are supporters of
Earle, and when Margiotti refused
to substantiate his charges the gov
ernor ousted him and all his depu-
ties. Margiotti is an independent
candidate for the Democratic guber-
Material nomination. There have
been other charges of corruption,
and grand jury was getting ready
to investigate them.

PWA officials emphasized that the
