the most prominent places in the
Nation that farm prices have about
reached three-fourths of parity and

reduction in the appropriation for
parity payments should be made.

while admitting that Federal

defend these requests for economy
in agricultural appropriations be-

FULTON, Mo-, Jan. 31.-John D.
M. Hamilton, Republican national
chairman, told a college audience
last night that much which passes
among us today as liberalism Is
merely disguised subversive radical
ism.
Often, he said, it Is "a cloak for
the schemes of crafty politicians
who would substitute bureaucracy
for our constitutional form of gov
eminent and economic regimenta-
ton for our system Of free American
enterprise"
He appeared on a forum series at
Westminster College. His address
was broadcast over a NATIONWIDE
hookup.
There rests today on the shoul-
ders of the youth of America the
responsibility of bringing America
back from the ruinous Roosevelt
experiments"

Illinois Leader Asks
Farm Prices Be Put
To Full. Parity
Quit Temporizing
With Problem, Head Of
Association Demands
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-President
Earl c. Smith of the Illinois Agri-
culture Association in q speech pre-
pared for delivery today demanded
that Congress and the Roosevelt
administration cease temporizing
with the farm problem" and act
to put farm prices up to full parity.
Addressing the associations 25th
annual convention, Mr.. Smith said
that to make fully effective the
primary purpose Of the Agricultural
Administration Act, it was "abso-
lutely necessary" that adequate"
appropriations be made available
this year to provide for parity adj
justment payments sufficient to
bridge completely the gap between
farm market prices and parity"
In Washington, the House Appro-
priations Committee yesterday urged
a SO per cent reduction in next
years Agriculture Department sup
ply bill, compared to the current
years total.
Mr.. Smith, who is vice president
and member of the Executive Com
mittee of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, said a full eff
fective permanent solution of the
farm problem is a first essential to
the solution of the unemployment
problem and the balancing of the
national budget"
Charges Temporizing.
But, he charged, both Democrats
and Republicans in Congress have
been "temporizing with the farm
problem" Everything yet done by
Congress to solve the farm problem,
he added, was ito appease the farmer
rather than directed fully to the
solution Of the agricultural prob
lem"
The farm leader reiterated de-
mands of the federations Executive
Committee that Congress appropri-
ate $607, 000, 900 for full parity pay
ments. He commended the multiply
ing effect of this amount would raise
farm net income $4,000 900, 900, which
would so increase farmers buying
power as to provide vast market out
lets for industrial goods and millions
of jobs for the unemployed"

ing there was more unemployment
among those between the ages of 20
and "a than in any other age group.
And the only answer the New
Deal has-the only answer it has
ever had in its futile and costly at

Two Brothers in District Areas
Robbed by Same Bandit Pair

The brothers Gildenhorn had
grounds for complaint against fate
today.
The two brothers were robbed on
successive nights in widely separated
parts of town-and apparently by
the same bandits.
The first robbery occurred Mon
day night when william Gildenhorn,
proprietor of a grocery store at
Third and Upshur streets NV, was
forced to give up about $3.50 to two
colored men. They held a gun on
him as he got out of his car behind
his home in the 1900 block of Kill
bourne place NV.
Last night Harry S. Gildenhorn,
his brother, proprietor of the Circle
Liquor Store at $500 Connecticut
avenue NV, was preparing to close
his place shortly before midnight
when two colored men walked in.
One produced a pistol and de-
manded the cash. Mr.. Gildenhorn
handed over about $500 in bills and
$3.50 in checks and the robbers fed,
making their escape in car parked
on side street.
This morning, the brothers COM
pared, notes and found that their
descriptions of the two robbers tai
lied exactly. Police say that on the

own homes were wrecked by Satur-
days raids. Rescue workers already
have brought out two babies, still
alive.
Physicians and nurses, working by
torchnght In the hours of darkness
gave first aid to the living and
supervised the transportation of the
dead as the debris was gradually
cleared from the bomb crater, 20
feet deep and 40 feet wide.
A nearby resident whose home was
wrecked by the same explosion said
the raiders must have dropped
something huge-either aerial tor
pedoes or land mines.
The Daily Herald front-paged q
report which asked:
who Is to be held responsible
for this appalling tragedy in which
whole families from wrecked homes
in the worst raided area of East
London were left by official neglect
TO die in a bombed refugee center?"

robbers are the same.
Detectives made a note OF the
fact a third brother Is operating
another store here.
At almost the same time as the
liquor store robbery, a Peoples Drug
store at Tenth and r streets NV.
was robbed of 81 400 by two white
men-the paddock bandits"
These bandits have been respon-
sible for several smaller robberies
here recently. They always carry a
paddock and chain, which they use
to lock their victims in the store.
Last night just as the drug store
was closing at midnight, the two
men appeared and knocked on the
door. A clerk opened the door and
the two forced their way in.
Carrying guns, they forced the
clerks to line up in the aisle. Then
they rif1ed the cash registers. Ar
thur Seitzinger of 1860 Ingleside
terrace NV, manager of the store,
estimated their haul at ST 400.
Leaving the store, they secured
two entrances with chains and pad
locks. Police, summoned by tele-
phone, freed the workers a few
minutes later.

British authorities, in subse-

Keep it that way"
To make sure there would be no

about the voting rights of en-
ployes," he ordered his letter defin-
ing their rights be placed in the

Similar instructions were issued to

one to ask you for money for any

Administrative employees, also,
may express their opinions private
ly on political subjects" the letter
stated, but warned that it is illegal
for them to engage in political &C
tivity or to use their influence, di-
rectly or indirectly, in political cam
paigns Or conventions.
State administrators were notified
to make every effort to arrange the
working schedule so that it will be
unnecessary for employees to lose
time taken for voting purposes.
"In some instances it may be desir-
able to suspend project operations
entirely on voting days." they were
instructed.
