INFLExIBILITy IN WAGES, HOURS

Coalition Brushes Determ- ined Efforts of Southern
 Bloc to Change Bill

WASHINGTON, May 24.-A coal ition of Republicans and Northern Democrats crushed a determined Southern attempt to inject greater inflexibility into the revamped wag- es and hours bill by an overWhei- ming majority.
 The coalition rejected the subs titute offered by Representative Robert Ramspeak of Georgia which would have permitted the establish ment of wage differentials between industries or geographical areas. The substitute lost by vote of 139 to 70, standing vote.
 The proposal would have estab- lished a graduated minimum wage based on weighed average" in in- dividual occupations, also created an Administrative Board with power to grant exemptions, thus in effect the making of variations in wages possible between the north and south or between industries.

New Crop Law Makes Slide
 Rule Just Farm Implement
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 24. - When the back to the farm movement starts, we will be absent because our mathematics, while thorough, is slow and we would not be able to work out our soil conservation contract in time to get at the fall blowing.
 Take corn. Last year the farm CTS planted 49,000000 acres which produced 2,60O,O0O.0OO bushels. That, the department computes, is 350,- 000,000 bushels more than we can eat or sell abroad. So the plan was adopted of reducing the present years plantings so the country would produce 350000,000 mushels less than it needs-so that the corn canned over, added to the amount grown, would just equal what we can eat and sell
 The department computed that 40000,000 acres would produce the desired amount, a cut of 9,000,000 acres below last year. So out to the corn belt went the order to cut acreage 20 percent That sounds very simple, for if a farmer last year had 40 acres in corn he could plant 32 acres this year and put the rest in beans or catnip. It does not work out so simply.

Tension Increases as Nazi Troops Found Still

PRAHA, May 24-Reports of new troop movements on the German side of the Czechoslovakian southern frontier, combined with the result ant effect of peace talks here be- tween Premier Hodza and Konrad Henlein, have brought gloom again to this country after the optimism yesterday, following Central Flu ropes critical weekend.
 Konrad Henlein considers himself spokesman for three and one half million Germans, representing a strong minority in Czechoslovakla. Hodza is Premier and automatically at swords points with the minority Nazi-leaning group.
 In official quarters, reports circu- lated yesterday of withdrawal of German troops from the border area were minimized today when 1t became known that the German troops had only withdrawn short distance.
 Nazi forces withdrew only in Sax ony and fell back a distance Of 70 miles, while on Czechoslovakla s frontier facing Austria, the Nazi concentration of troops has actu- ally increased.
 The sudden departure of Konrad Henlein from Praha, caused sus- pension of his negotiations with Premier Hodza on the dangerous issues between his sudeten German party and the Czechoslovakian gov ernment.

ROOM FOR ARGUMENT

First, it should be understood that the farmer is paid for abiding by the regulations. His farm is assigned a quota of corn, based on how much corn he has grown in the past, the kind of land he owns, the kind of farming he has done and how much tillable acreage he owns. That leaves room for differences of opinion.
 When the quota is determined, the farmer is promised 10 cents a bushel of benefits, if he "co- operates" or abides by regulations Moreover. he is promised a gov ernment loan on his crop.
 Suppose his quota for his 40-acre farm is 30 bushels an acre or 1,200 bushels. His benefits then will be $l20. But if he decides that maybe the market price this year will be good, he may want to plant five acres more than his 32-acre allow ance. Go to it, says the Depart ment of Agriculture, but it will reduce your benefits by 50 cents . bushel. Five acres. times 30 bushels frt,.x4sx1.~<I <x~ rax1~ ras.,oN
