more and more agricultural imports
are coming into the country from for
eign shores, and he charged that it
would provide means for coercion of
the farmers rather than voluntary CO.
operation.
Senator Johnson, of California, de-
clared that it was the beginning of a
dictatorship and gave more power to
the Secretary of Agriculture than ever
before given to one man.
Briefly, the legislation seems to
combine all of the farm regulatory eff
forts of the past few years with pro-
visions for agricultural parity" soil
conservation and control of market
surplusses and through this crop regi-
mentation. 1t is to cost $40, 100000
but some think the outlay will be twice
that amount. There is no provision as
to where the money will come from
to foot this enormous bill.
The law provides for about every
thing except control of the weather
and the crops raised by farmers in for
eign countries.
Until these two conditions can be
made the subject of legislation it is
doubtful whether the new law can &C
cononlish that for which If has haer
designed.

The new crop control bill, which
after five years, is supposed to pull
the farmers out of the depression, was
recently passed by Congress.
Just what the outcome will be no
body who has studied the measure is
prepared to answer. This week a
printed copy of the bill was received
1t contains more than fifty pages of
printed matter.
1t is even generally admitted that
few statesmen and economists, even
those who have passed on the meas

Perry relied mainly on his oppon-

Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

Warmer is confident the major
league moguls need not worry.
The Giants will not finish better
than third. The pitching staff, for
the first time in many years, is
uncertain and the batting of the
Giants is anything but strong. IN
fielders are slowing up and the
outfield defensively will not be as
strong as last season.
The Yanks may find the going
tough without LaZzerri. Lazzerri
was one of the men behind the
scenes on the New York strategy
board and his absence may cost the
Ruppertmen the title.
And with Oscar Witt at the helm,
the Cleveland Indians will be
mighty tough Potentially the In
dians are just as powerful as the
YankS and they're overdue.
Louis over Schmeling-That's the
choice of most experts. But after
the Mann-Louis battle the Bench
Warmer predicts many will change
their opinions.
Schmeling has kept in condition;
Louis hasn't. That may be the diff
ference that will bring the German
the championship of the world.

this death swing, Sanders press

no less a parsonage than Man
Mountain Dean to act as referee.
With any less powerful official
than Dean in the ring it is believed
that the death swing" might Kill
Szabos opponent, George zaharlas,
before it could be broken.
Szabo says the new grip was in
spired by watching the feeding OF
a bull elephant on a circus lot, and
that it enables him to hurl an
opponent into the air with the
same ferocity with which bull
elephant, using his trunk, tosses
hay into it's mouth.

Wrestling, in every state but CAL

public.
Why?-Because the present title
holders, there are six of them. (Na-
gurski, Marshall, Robert, Pesek
Casey ana Thesz), are not brilliant
enough and are not drawing 'em
in at the gate.
Something had to be done. So

ing and decided-O No more dou-
hle-crossing. % Jimmy Londos is
again to be The mat champion
within the next sixty days.
Within a month he will throw
three OF the champions. He will
start with Louis Thesz, follow up
with Marshall and then throw Rob-
erts. Casey and Pesek will follow
the second month and finally Ma
gurski.
But is will cost the Wrestling mo-
gulS $4,000 to have Nagurski take
a flop to the Greek. The manager
of the Bronco is holding out for
that sum.
