Grain LOANPLAN
NOT EQUITABLE,
JONES CHARGES
Changes in Farm Act
Declared Likely

I.N.S.) Further trial Of the Ad-
ministration's farm program, in
stead of immediate uprooting of
the whole system, was recon-
mended today by Representative
Marvin Jones CD of Texas, chair
man of the House Agriculture
Committee.
The Texan, however, breathed
fire for the new loan-freight rates
scheme applied by the Agriculture
Department for grain.
UNFAIR, HE SAYS
The plan is unfair to some sec
tions of the nation, notably the
Southwest, Jones said. He plans
to carry these protests to the Ag-
riculture Department.
mo doubt there will be some
amendments to the farm law
during the next session of Con-
greSS," he said, continuing:
I'm a far-reaching program
like that, experience always die
tates needed amendments. But
I think the act should be given
further trial. 1t is still too early
to tell just how it Is going to
work out"
EILLOTMENTS OPPOSED
That there will be agitation at
the next session of Congress for
substitution of the So-called do
mestic allotment plan of farm re-
lief fer the present acreage and
marketing control system, was the
view of Jones.
There always is complaint
from some fellows over the
farm law" he said. Wheat
was selling a lot lower in price
back in 1882, when we had a
smaller crop, than it is today.
In my section wheat was 20
cents a bushel in '32, while now
1t is around So cents"
DISCUSSES LOAN PLAN
On the recent move of the De
partment Of Agriculture to peg"
the cash price for wheat to the
farmer at an average of about 60
cents bushel, Jones said that the
loan rate from the Government
at Galveston, Tex, would be IT
cents a bushel. But from this
must be deducted railroad trans
portation and loading costs.
From Amarillo, GAL miles from
Galveston, the railroad transpor
tation rate is 81 cents a bushel
and the loading cost, 4 cents a
bushel.
CHICAGO FAVORED
However, from Chicago to New
York, a distance Of about 800
miles. the transportation cost is
only Is cents buShel, which gives
the farmers in the Chicago area
an advantage Of cents a buShel
IN loans. Jones explained.

IN RETROSPECT

When look back upon the chart of Time.
And see therein the map that is my Life,
Each year is colored like a different cline:
Each hue depicting joy. despair or strife.
I see uninteresting greys and somber blacks,
Delineated by the passing years.
Some tones dulled by Time IS ceaseless
attacks,
And some all streaked by long forgotten tears.
But one bright year stands out in brilliant
green,
whose beauty dims the co1ors Of the rest.
lovely and transcendent hue and sheen
That will forever stand Time's harshest test.
And that's the year that We have spent out
here
And with the years may green alone appear.

the dresser. He began comparing
the photographs of Claire and
Nancy. Yes, there was a differ
ence. Why had he been so dumb
as to fail to notice the tell-tale
lines in Claire'S face before. Ac.
cording to his plan, they would
have been engaged by this time
if that something hadn't hap
pened. A narrow escape.
SWITCHED RECEIPTS
Jake switched back to the photo
graphs. Yes, gold was common to
10th of them. But one dug it
while the other was made of it.
And Nancy, he knew, was being
dated by an old boy friend now.
Jake began to get ready for bed.
He pulled out his pocketbook. A
few bills were left in it this night,
because of the early retirement.
He decided to count them. A slip
of paper fell out. Oh yes, it was
his Social Security slip. He saved
those. They were about all he did
save these days. Constant night
life with Claire had come high.
He leaned over to pick up the
The Washington times., 1938-12-01

paper and placed it on top of the
dresser. He would put it in the
proper envelope later. He ran
through the bills and then his eyes
came to rest on the security slip.
It acknowledged the receipt Of
80 cents! What was that? The
figure was less than half the 10
per cent deduction made on his
salary. Was the office giving him
a break? Then his eyes widened.
It was made out to Miss Claire
Conklin. Claire, his secretary.
That was odd. Then he began
to feel funny sensations running
up and down his spine.
Yes, that was it. That explained
Claire. She had received his slip,
he had received hers. She had
found out what his salary was.
The accounting office had made a
mistake, and had switched re-
ceiptS.
Jake considered for a moment.
Then he began to laugh. A mis-
take? Not by a long shot. It had
been deliberate. Apparently Nancy
had made UP that payroll with
extra care. He picked up the
photograph.
Yes, the accounting office had
given him a break. And he de-
cided that no time should be lost
in thanking the person re-
SponSible.

Claire had behaved.
Jake pulled open a drawer.

were smiling out at him. Some

right in front Of Claire'S, and
lighted a cigarette.
"Now what in hell" he repeated
over and over, "came over Claire?"
She had glowed when they talked
over the date as the office closet:
that Saturday noon. She had ever
sneaked a quick kiss after she had
put on her hat and closed her
typewriter desk.
He had felt like million then
and all afternoon. But when they
met for dinner things were dill
ferent.
Claire made the usual striking
appearance but there was set
expression in her face. She didn't
take the usual eager interest in
helping him order cocktails and
food.
She was Indifferent: there was
something on her mind. Once
Jake suspected she was flirting
/, with a young man sitting at q
nearby table.
He understood the conclusion,
however. She was quitting her
job, she didn't want to be his
secretary any more.
Jake dug his hand into his
pocket and his fingers touched a
ring. The ring he had bought for
Nancy a couple Of months before
before Claire had been ushered
into his office and introduced as
his secretary. Those evenings
with Nancy seemed long ago.
Jake squirmed deeper into the
chair. AS the clock on the dresser
licked away, events began to fall
into focus. Yes, he had given lit
tie Nancy a rough deal. Hell, his
chance with the company had
come through a tip from her.

came his big promotion. It meant
