Busy "A Hours
In Capital
Here os Honor Guest
At Dinner, He Attacks
Spendine-Le

After having attacked the pending
SO $50 900 900 spending lending pro-
gram and administration efforts to
retain emergency monetary powers
Frank E. Gannett, Rochester IN. "
newspaper publisher, was completing
a busy "a hours in Washington today
Arriving late yesterday to attend
dinner arranged in his honor by
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, the publishers first action
was to address telegram to Senate
and House leaders opposing extern
sion of the dollar devaluation poW-
ers of the President beyond last
midnight
Delivers Radio Address.
During attendance at the dinner
given in private dining room of
the Senate chamber so Senators
present might reach the Senate floor
hurriedly during last nights none
tary fight, Mr.. Gannett delivered a
radio address assailing the spending
lending proposal as threat to "our
system of free enterprise"
Amy Government with the power
to be economic guardian of its peo-
Pile cannot long tolerate dissent
from its plans or political opposi-
ton he said.
If We keep on lending and spend
ing billions in the manner now pro-
posed, effective political opposition
to the administration intrenched in
office will disappear. Already the
number dependent upon government
is SO great that many ask whether
Mr.. Roosevelt is not already in a
position to use this control to re-
nominate and re-elect himself"
Mr.. Gannett laughed off sugges-
tions that last nights affair might
be movement to head off the presi-
dental boom for District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
Il had to come down here tonight
to make radio speech and Senator
Nye took this occasion to arrange
the dinner" he said.

Co Administrative expenses are
limited to 34 per cent. This is about
the same percentage as overhead has
been costing this year. but because
the total of the relief appropriation
has been cut by over $500, 900 900. it
is obvious that the overhead for the
smaller sum will be higher on per-
centage basis than the overhead for
the larger sum-that is if equal eff
cheney is to be maintained.
I'd The Federal theater project is
abolished. This singles out special
group of professional people for a
denial of work in their own profess

worst type. I have not objected to
the provision that portion of the
cost of projects for artists, musicians
and writer's should be paid for by
local governments and sponsored by
them, and the same provision could

projects. The House conferees de-

WASHINGTON D. G., SATURDAY, JULY l. 1885,
Huge Farm Program
Begins With Signing
OF Record Measure
President Reluctantly
Approves Bill, Hits
Parity Payments
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Armed with a $1,194, ,498, ,633 ap-
preparation approved reluctantly by
President Roosevelt, Agriculture De-
partment officials today began their
greatest effort to improve farm con-
ditions since the early days of the
New Deal.
Legislation providing the record
breaking sum for operations during
the next IL months was signed by
Mr.. Roosevelt last night. The total
included 100000 for payments
to farmers, including 1925 900 900
which was not in the President S
budget.
1t was this sum-for so-called
parity payments designed to raise
farm purchasing power to the pre-
war level-that drew an expression
of disapproval from Mr.. Roosevelt.
He has contended such an expendi-
ture should be accompanied by new
taxes to provide the money.
In statement made public short
ly after signing the bill, the Presi-
dent indicated he had refrained
from vetoing the legislation because
that would have caused the Agri-
culture Department and the Farm
Credit Administration to cease func-
tioning today.
Gentleman's Agreement Cited.
IN cold oifiznnc' a =
tention should be directed to five
| facts:
l. Mr.. Roosevelt approved large
addition to farm expenditures. large
ly for parity payments. last year
with "the definite gentlemen's agree
ment" that Congress would provide
additional revenue.
2. Attention of Congress was
called to this at the start OF this
session but no taxes for the pur-
pose lave been enacted.
3. When the present bill was un-
der consideration, the attention of
Congress was called to the parity
proposals and the request was made
that they not be approved without
compensating revenue
4. Debates in Congress indicated
full understanding of this position.
S. Nevertheless. an unbudgeted
s225 900 900 was voted with no new
| taxes.
Duty With Congress.
"It, therefore, seems clear" Mr.
Roosevelt said. that the duty Of
providing additional funds for the
Treasury still rests directly with the
Congress.
Federal farm officials said the bill
would enable them to set up the
most extensive system of agricul-
tural aid since 1888.
The bill provides s203 900 900 for
disposal of surplus farm products.
This sum will be used to distribute
commodities to families on relief
and to subsidize exports.
Other items include sl9l 900 900
for grants to States for road work
$4,000 900 for loans to tenants to
buy farms, SAT ,975 900 for benefits to
producers under the Sugar Control
Act, and substantial amounts for
forestry, combating insect pests
and agricultural experiment work.

Dehydration Eases
Army Food Problem,
Maj. Logan Says
Careful PERTAINING
And Home Economy Held
Necessary in Emergency
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July L.
Maj. P. P. Logan of the United
States Army's Quartermaster Corps
appealed today for a little more
attention to the biggest problem of
the soldier: when do we eat?"
In the whole category of NUM-
tions supplied to a fighting force
none is more important or difficult
than subsistence, yet with few ex-
ceptions, historians have devoted but
little attention to the subject, even
though history is replete with mill
tary failures brought about by lack
of food Maj Logan told the Food
Technology Conference in an ad-
dress at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
1T is problem that can be solved
only by careful planning, by
economy in the homeland and
through the full cooperation of all
our people
rive ROUNDS per SOluleT.
Although pointing out that a SOL
dier consumes five pounds of food
daily that 66 trucks were needed to
deliver food and forage to one in
fantry division and that during the
World War 10000. 900 pounds of food
had to be purchased, transported,
stored and correctly delivered daily
to 10000 destinations, Maj. Logan
said the problem still was not one of
quantity.
The average per capital con-
sumption of food in the United
States is LAS pounds" Maj. Logan
asserted. THE soldier consumes
about 1916. But in a Nation of
hundred and thirty million peo-
pie the increase required to support
1000 900 men under arms would be
less than per cent over normal.
Conserve Space and Weight.
THE real problem lies in depar-
turing from normal industrial proc
esSes in order to provide food which
is processed and packaged in such
manner as to conserve space and
weight, lower storage loss, minimize
the hazard of contamination by
poison gas and at the same time
be we'll adapted to field cooking,
highly nutritious and palatable."
He pointed out that recent de-
velopments in dehydration and in
the field Of new packaging sub
stances had eased the Army's plan
ming work great deal and added
that although the task still was
not simple:
The American people may be as
sured that in future emergency
their soldiers will be provided with
ample quantities of good food"

the practice of operating it only or

Gov. Leche Is Asked
To Explain Phases Of
Smith Disappearance
Former L. S. U. Head, Wife
Two Relatives and q
Broker Indicted
By the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La, July In
creased demand was made upon for
mer Gov. Richard w. Leche today
to explain certain phases of the dis
appearance of fugitive DR.. James
Monroe Smith, now under indict-
ment for embeZzlement of funds
from the State University which he
once headed.
DR.. Smiths wife. two relatives and
a broken were indicted yesterday
also by the parish grand jury in
vestigating financial irregularities"
at the school.
The missing educator last re-
ported seen near Toronto, Canada,
was indicted for endorsement of
100000 of university funds. Mrs.
Smith, her nephew. j. Emory Adams
and the Smiths son-in-law. Owen
w. Ware. were charged with aiding
and abetting in the endorsement" !"
Against j. M. Brown, the inter-
mediary in market Speculations for
which DR.. Smith used more than
half million dollars of university
bonds as collateral. the charge was
assisting the principal offender"
Newspaper Asks Probe.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans
Times-Picayune. urging a thorough
investigation of the uniyersity's
muddled affairs, asked these front
page questions:
why was former Gov. Leche's
announcement of Dr. Smiths resig-
nation delayed several hours? What
information that he did not already
possess did former Gov. Leche re-
ceive between the hours of DR..
Smiths resignation and the an
nouncement of his disappearance to
justify the order for his arrest?
Why. if Gov. Leche had knowledge
several months ago of irregulari-
ties at Louisiana State University
did he not detain DR.. Smith when
he called at the executive mansion
to tender his resignation?"
The former Governor who re-
signed last Monday night-24 hours
after DR.. Smith-said he had sus-
pected irregularities at the school
since January and had put in an
auditing system. DR.. Smith, he
said, gave him his resignation be-
tween $50 or 7 o'clock Sunday
night.
The hunt for the educator began
at 8 pm. and the Governor an
nounced to the press at 1890 pm.
that police were seeking DR.. Smith.
Ellender Urges Inquiry.
From within the State admins
tration built by the late Huey p.
Long also came a demand for a
searching probe. Senator Ellender:
Democrat, of Louisiana. in WASH
ington declared every possible source
of irregularity in Louisiana politics
should be investigated.
And the new governor, Earl K.
Long, brother of the late Huey, said
he heartily approved the course the
grand jury was taking in returning
indictments.
In New Orleans, a Federal grand
jury went into its second days in
vestigation of charges w. P. A. ma
terials in louisiana had been di-
verted to private use but the hear
ing by court order was held in strict
secrecy.

Weight Proves Decisive Factor
AS Central Beats BlufftOn, 21-O

Superior weight proved very de-
cisive factor last Friday night as
Lima Central turned back a smaller
but game Bluffton High team by
score of 21 to 0 before crowd of
$500 in Lima stadium.
Central scored early in the first
quarter to take a lead that never
was relinquished, and altho Bluffton
put up game battle the odds were
too great to overcome.
Two plays after the kickoff Cen
tral set up their first scoring OPP
portunity when Fishers attempted
punt was blocked and the ball was
downed on the Bluffton 37-yard line.
Brentlinger, one of Central's CO.
stars bowled thru for 15-yard gain,
and then Alguire, the other backfeld
ace, broke loose off tackle, cut back
and streaked across the goal.
Central scored again in the third
period when Brentlinger ran to mid
field and when he was about to be
tackled lateralled the pigskin to AL
guire. The latter then streaked SO
yards for his second touchdown.
In the fourth quarter Bluffton was
thrown back to the 16 yard stripe,
and when the Central line rushed
Fisher on a punt formation his kick
went out of bounds on his own 22.
Brentlinger then drove across the
goal to conclude a series of line
plays.
Brentlinger placed-kicked for the
extra point after every Dragon
touchdown.
Bluffton's greatest thrill came in
the second quarter when Watkins
broke away for a 46-yard gain, but
the rest of the time the much heav-
ier and more experienced Lima team
held the Pirates well in check.
