BERNIE, Switzerland, March 49,
The Swiss Federal Council, meeting
to discuss Germany's absorption Of
Czecho-Slovakia, yesterday decided
to build strategic highway through,
Grisons Canton bodering Italy and
German Austria, despite some
Cantonal opposition.
The Council took cogniZance of
certain signs of inquietude' among
the Swiss people, majority of them
German-speaking. and decided
President Philippe Etter should
make a radio speech to the nation
tomorrow to counteract it.
Although agreeing that the dis
appearance of Czecho- -Slovakia
damaged Swiss economic interests,
Council members expressed belief
that further international complica-
tions need not be feared for the
moment.
Economics Minister Hermann
Obrecht, speaking in Basel, declared
any attack on Swiss independence
would mean war. Without direct
mention of Germany's absorption
of Austria and Czecho-S -Slovakia,
Obrecht declared:
1T must be known abroad that
any one who attacks us or who
strikes blow at our independence
and territorial integrity will en-
counter war. A pilgrimage abroad
will not get its start in Switzer-

Agency for Spending

With another skirmish marking
the progress of the reorganization
bill. the Senate on Monday plans
to take up the controversial features
OF the legislation to permit the Pres

cies.
In brief debate yesterday, Sena-
tor Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, a
leader in the fight on administration
reorganization proposals, charged
that the Federal Reserve Board
has become a propaganda agency
for administration spending and
that its chairman, Mariner S.
Eccles, was preaching reckless
waste and thriftlessness."

with Mr.. Eccles for months over
the latter's theories of deficit
spending, introduced an amendment

ophy was: The greater the debt we
owe, the more the prosperity"
1T is strange doctrine" he con-
tinued, that the head of America s
banking system is preaching: That

Senator Byrd demanded that Mr.
Eccles say whether this recon-

"the considered and deliberate ac-

Forecast Of Smallest
Corn Acreage in 40
Years IS Hailed
Area Sown to Wheat
Placed at 18 Per Cent
Below Lost Year
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
Farm officials, faced with serious
wheat and feed crop surplus prob
lens today hailed a Federal crop
reporting boards forecast that this
years corn acreage would be the
smallest in 40 years and that the
area sown to wheat would be 18 per
cent less than last year.
The board estimated yesterday the
acreage to be planted to corn at
92,062 900. This compared with
goal Of $1,000 900 established under
A. A. AS crop control program.
The wheat acreage was placed at
IS ,650,000. While this exceeded the
crop control programs goal of S..
900 900 acres, it was $1,000 900 acres
less than was seeded for last years
large crop.
The board said that If abandon
ment of winter wheat should be
between 20 and Is per cent-as was
indicated by its December report
and 16,700,00O acres of spring wheat
were harvested, the total wheat
acreage for harvest would be about
$1,000 900 acres.
Based on Farmers Reports.
This compares with 70,22l 900 acres
harvested last year, 81, ,422, 900 in 1887
and an average of SIS, 1926 900 for the
1876 period
The estimates were based on re-
ports from farmers on their plant
ing intentions.

indicated that a large percentage

Payments to cooperating wheat
farmers will be % cents a bushel.
The board said it seems likely
that the oats acreage will be the
smallest in 80 years. Rather large
increases were indicated, however,
in grain sorghums and barley, used
largely for feeding purposes.
Cotton Surplus Studied.
President Roosevelt took a per-
sonal hand yesterday in the ad-
ministration's efforts to solve the
cotton surplus problem, conferring
at the White House with repre-
sentatives of the cotton trade and
the Agriculture Department.
The only official word from the
conference was comment by the
President that they were trying to
find solution that would not bank
rupt the Treasury.
1t was reported authoritatively
however. that Secretary Wallace
pressed for the Presidents approval
for subsidies for cotton exports
while representatives of the cotton
trade voiced opposition.
American cotton exports have
slumped more than AZ per cent this
season. Exporters say this is be-
cause prices have been higher than
those of competing cotton and be-
cause supplies available for export
have virtually been exhausted. More
than 11,250O00 bales are frozen
under Government loans and can
not be released except by the
farmer-borrowers. The latter are
not inclined to do so now because
prices now offered would not be
sufficient to pay of their loan obli-
cations.
