BEHIND H SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, May 10. - The
Department of Agriculture is final
ly trying to get a help-the-share-
cropper amendment in the law
law governing AAA cotton benefit
payments. And thereby hangs an
unusual tale.
The sharecropper's woes have
been talked about for years. Less
talked about is the fact that the
AAA benefit program helped put
the big squeeze on him.
Benefit payments are supposed
to 90 partly to the landlord and
partly to the sharecropper. The
catch is that if the landlord gets
rid of all his choppers and then
hires them at straight day labor,
he keeps the whole payment. In
effect, the government has b e e n
paying the planters to turn their
| sharecroppers into hired hands.
If the sharecropper has things
hard, the hired hand has them a
lot worse-so bad that he has been
falling into government hands, via
the Farm Security Administration,
by the thousand in recent years.
PLANTER SNOW
Is SUSPECTED
A little over a year ago, some
hundreds of dispossessed share
troopers put on a dramatic hun
| ger march in southeastern Mis-
souri,. Besides making a lot of
headlines, this march greatly dis
turbed the planters of that area.
Whispers were heard that the
agitator of the movement was one
Thad Snow, a prosperous planter
himself, who wrote newspaper
and magazine pieces in his spare
time and who said openly the
planters had brought this trouble
on themselves. Pretty soon it was
said that Thad Snow had caused
the hunger march. There was
some talk of tar and feathers.
Snow let them talk. Finally, he
published an elaborate comics
SION" Yes, he'd done it all; got
the idea from Trotzky, down in
Mexico, polished it up with the aid
of President Roosevelt, the Rus
sian ambassador and Norman
After a while when people realized
he'd been kidding them, the Juror
died down.
TWO PLANS
ARE DRAFTED
Then Snow really went to work.
First he sold his fellow-planters his
a planters financial advantage to
cut his choppers off the land, the
troopers would stay put and mis-
cry and want wouldn't send des-
perate men out on the highways.
He even got most Of the big plant
ers in his region to support a for
NAL plea to the Agriculture De-
partment to change the system of
benefit payments.
Then he came to Washington
and went to bat with the depart
ment. He had hard shedding, for a
long time; large bodies move SLOW
ly, government departments don't
like to admit mistakes, and big
cotton planters don't get listened
to very eagerly down at Agricul-
ture anyway. But he sold his bill
Of goods.
Two alternative amendments to
the benefit law have been drafted.
One would provide that in any
area where a majority of the
planters approve, the Secretary of
Agriculture may direct that bene-
fit money, which ordinarily would
go to the cropper, will simply be
withheld if the cropper is turned
into a day laborer. The other is
sitter and would make the same
principle mandatory all over. One
or the other will come up for ac-
ton this spring.
"Td like to get back home" says
Snow. I'm tired. But when O
start a thing like this you can't
run out on it until it's finished"

ALLIES ORDERING
MORE U.S.. PLANES
1000 Or More Bought In
America During Past
Few Days

WASHINGTON, May 1o.-R-
Aviation authorities said today that
the British and French governments
have ordered 1000 or more additional
American-pade w%arplanes in the last
few days:
The new contracts, for the latest
type fighting planes and bonbers de-
yeloped for the United States army
air corps, were said to have boosted
the Allies purchases within the last
month to 1000 or more military air
craft.
At the same time, it was disclos-
ed that the war department intends
to recommend to President Roose-
welt that congress be asked for funds
Immediately to build 200 ~long-range,
four-motor bombers to reinforce
western hemisphere defenses.
The additional bombers would be
a part of the 6,00O-plane quota which
congress authorized for the air corps
last year. Fifty-two of the big bomb
ers, which cost about $400,000 Zach,
are in service and 200 others in
order.

bankers in convention here today
that "at the very heart of a system
of free enterprise is a free banking

Cadman continued:

How far can we surrender the direc-

liberty"
After outlining government steps

their government for bounties, and
they will resent the interference OF

more than so lending agencies and

MAKING LIVER DIET
MORE

What are the uses of liver diet
and is there any advantage in one
kind of animal liver over the 9TH
err?
Liver is used now for a great
many conditions, not only for pri-
mary anemia but for many forms
OF anemia due to liver deficiency.
1t is also good for the skin. One
kind Of animal liver is just about
as good as another.
OF course, liver can be obtained
IN the form of an extract but it is,
in most cases, cheaper and easier
to use it as a food. To many peo-
PIE it is not palatable or quickly
grows monotonous and for t h a t
reason I append a few recipes:
Chicken Liver Soup-One pint of
chicken broth; four ounces of
chicken livers and hearts; O e
heaping teaspoonful of flour; one
teaspoonful of butter; one
teaspoonful of chopped parsley;
salt and pepper to taste. Bring
the chicken broth to the boiling
point. Blend the flour and butter
with a little of the broth and add to
the broth. Then add the chicken
liver which has been cooked for 10
minutes and minced.
Liver and Corn Creole Two
cups OF ground liver (parboiled):
one can of corn; two tablespoons
OF chopped red pepper; one cup of
milk; two tablespoons of butter.
Put the liver, corn, red pepper and
milk into a saucepan. Cook SLOWLY
for 10 minutes, season with salt
and pepper and add the butter.
Place the mixture in a baking dish
sprinkle with bread crumbs. dot
with butter and bake 10 minutes
Mock Terrapin-Add to one-half
cup OF cooked and chopped mush-
rooms n cup of brown sauce and
one-half cup of liver cubes. the
liver having previously been nar.
boiled. Season with a dash of mus.
tara, a dash of paprika and one
tablespoonful of lemon juice.

Medical Care
Bv LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

Do ulcers of the stomach ever
heal?
They heal so rapidly that hours,
rather than days, mark the space
of time. This is the ntormatlon
we get from the new specially OF
gastroscopy-examination OF the
stomach with a lighted instrument.
The pioneers in this method OF
examination see the inside OF a hv-
ing stomach under circumstances
different from what anybody else
has ever seen it. They tell us that
they can see an ulcer n day,
practically see it forming, and the
next day find it has entirely dis
appeared. But these are acute ul-
GERS. not like the ones that cause
chronic indigestion; the chronic ul-
Ger of the stomach may take years
to heal.
In 1920 a young physician in
Munich, named SCHNEIDER, who had
been using an old-fashioned CASTRO
scope, which was a rigid metal
tube and almost impossibly cruel
and torture-making for the patient,
devised, with the help Of an opti-
clan, a flexible tube provided with
many lenses at short intervals.
These flexible gastroscopes can
be introduced into the stomach
without much discomfort.

COURT ORTE
Decision in the Strange Case of
ACROSS THE SEA IN A BOX"
Continued From Page Eight

Continued From Page Eight
NOT GUILTY." Karl Blau,
international diamond merchant,
was found not guilty of smuggling
this box of some $50 diamonds into
America. On the face of it, the YER
dict seems to be cockeyed, but
legally, it is consistent and easily
understood.
Let us review this strange affair.
Karl Blau was in the jewel business
with a man in Cincinnati. His
method of operation was to go
abroad, buy uncut diamonds and
by hook or crook" get them into
America without paying duty.
Jules Bilker was Blau's friend and
adviser in buying gems and he was
also a friend of the captain, who in
turn was the innocent messenger
for the smuggling project.
Now here is why Karl Blau, the
real brains behind the scheme, was
not guilty. In fact, no one was
guilty! The court said: There was
no passage of these diamonds
through the customs lines of the
United States. The package was de-
llvered to the customs officers on
board the vessel at a time when and
before the obligation to make entry
and pay the duty arose."
In other words, the act Of SNUG
Cling the diamonds into this coun-
try was never performed. The off.
GERS acted too quickly. They shoule
have waited until the boat landed
