YuIe Celebration
|CEmoxed by
Huge Bonfire
By the Associated PrAss.

WILMINGTON, N. c.. Jan. T.
Wilmington conducted last night one
Of three North Carolina celebrations
Of old Christmas.
Several thousand persons assem-
bled in a public park in balmy
weather for the city's first Twelfth
Night program, climaxed by a huge
bonfire of discarded Christmas trees.
For generations the up-coast fish,
ing village of Rodanthe laid claim
to being the only community in this
vicinity and possibly in the Ma
ton to observe Christmas on the
Twelfth Night.
But the local celebration uncov-
cred yet a third almost within its
shadow.
Sponsors admitted they borrowed
the idea-not from Rodanthe, but
from st. Helena, nearby rural COM
munity peopled with Russian, Polish
and Ukrainian farmers said to have
celebrated old Christmas for years.
Rodanthe observed its Christmas
Day yesterday with exercises ut the
village school. where 300-pound
Coast Guardsman Pennell Tillett
presided as Santa Claus and dis
tributed gifts from q tree imported
from the Hainland.

Two Democrats
Accept Farm Bill
Challenge
Smith and Lee Will
Draw PIon Eliminot;no
Production Control
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Two Democratic Senators-Smith
of South Carolina and Lee Of Okla
homa-said today they would ac-
cept Secretary Wallace's challenge
to the Republican party to present
substitute farm program.
Both said they expected to offer
shortly new farm bills which, If
adopted, would eliminate the pro-
duction control features of the pres
ent farm program and substitute
a domestic allotment scheme.
Republican Senator'S called the
Wallace challenge an attempt to
inject politics into the farm prob
lem.
Bankhead Sees No Change.
But Senator Bankhead, Democrat.
of Alabama approved the Secre-
tary's action and predicted the pres
ent farm program would not be
shifted from its fundamental basis
Of production control.
Senator Lees proposal calls for
estimates of the amount of cotton.
wheat and corn needed for use each
year in this country. This amount
then would be divided among States
and farms on a basis of bushels,
bales, or pounds.
A farmer could grow and harvest
all he wished, but would receive
guaranteed price only on his allotted
share of the domestic market.
The Oklahoma Senator now is
consulting colleagues on ways of pay
ing this price. One method would
be to require that professors pay 1t,
under some system of tagging or
marking farm products coming
within the domestic allotments. An
other would be payment of the diff
ference between market prices and
the guaranteed price through a
Government subsidy financed by a
processing tax.
Smiths Plan Similar.
Senator Smith, whose renomina-
ton last year was opposed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, outlined similar
domestic allotment program for
cotton, except that allotments would
be on basis of acres and farmer
could get subsidy on all produced
on his allotted acreage
The South Carolinian favored
marketing cotton and other crop
surpluses in world markets for what
ever they would bring, the Govern
ment writing off losses
Senator Smith is chairman Of the
Senate Agriculture Committee.

Of Amen Quiz 10 Cover
All Brooklyn Graft
Probe One Of Biggest in
New York City History;
Power Exceeds Dewey's
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. New powers
granted by Gov. Lehman today en-
larged Special Prosecutor John Har-
Ian Amens investigation of reported
corruption Of Brooklyn officials into
one of the biggest inquiries in New
York City's political history.
Recognizing the urgency of pend
ing prosecution-Mr. Amen said he
had 80 cases already prepared for
the grand iury-the Governor Or
dered the convening of a second ex-
traordinary panel.
He also extended Mr.. Amen's
power to include prosecution of all
cases in the Brooklyn district at
torney's office in which suspected
graft figures, rs we'll as the corrup-
ton cases themselves. That power
is far greater than that given by
Gov. Lehman to Thomas E. Dewey
in his fight against Manhattan
rackets.
Exceeding the Dewey investigation
in scope, the Amen inquiry is plumb
ing all Brooklyn law enforcement
agencies, including the courts and
police as well as the district attor-
ney's ONCE.
The last comparable investigation
herein political imphcations-was
the Seabury probe in 1881. which
ended in the resignation of Mayor
James j. Walker and paved the way
for Mayor La Guardia's overthrow
Of Tammany Hall.
Gov. Lehman ordered the present
inquiry after the defendant in a fur
racket case said he had paid
plenty" to escape prosecution. Last
October II the Governor appointed
Mr.. Amen-son-in-1aw OF President
Grover Cleveland and an ace Fed
eral attorney-as special prosecutor.
Mr.. Amen, promised advice and
cooperation" by j. Edgar Hoover,
chief OF the Federal Bureau of
Identification, hired a stan OF for
mer "G-men" to gather evidence.
Under the law he has to wait 20
days before selecting the second
