Wallace Advises
Farmers 10 Fight
For Easier Credit
Urges Organization to
Seek Revision Of Federal
Lond Bonk System
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 27.-Henry
Wallace. Secretary Of Agriculture, to-
day urged farmers to organize and
fight for reorganization Of the Fed
eral Land Bank system, reduction
Of farm mortgage interest rates, and
liberalization Of farm credit policies
throughout the Nation.
Mr.. Wallace, In an address pre-
pared for a mass meeting Of farm
ers from II States, characterized the
land bank system as 'of real value
to agriculture" but attacked selfish
interests which opposed efforts to
improve the system and put 1t on q
better basis for serving farmers"
Singles Out Bankers.
The land bank system, Mr.. WAL
lace contended, can be put on q
self financing basis which will en-
able the American farmer to get
permanently the benefit of a 3h per
cent interest rate" He singled out
the American Bankers Association
and some Of the State bankers asso-
Citations as being prominent in the
night against lower interest rates for
farmer borrowers.
Warning that the war in Europe
Is certain to have serious repercus-
sions on all agriculture, Mr.. WAL
lace pleaded for agricultural pre-
paredness" as well as military pre-
paredness."
There must be preparedness for
peace as well as for war;" he as
serted.
The Secretary declared the farm
debt load was responsible for the
increase in tenant farming and
added that something must be done
about the debt burden and also to
strengthen the whole national farm
program.
The Same Interests.
But our enemies don't want to
zee the farm program strength
ened," he said. He listed these
"enemies" as the same financial
journalistic and political interests
which always gang up against any
thing which really will help the
farmer"
THE farmers are the very back
bone Of democracy" he said, but
II the farmers, because of reduced
income and burdensome debt, are
forced to leave their land, then
democracy is threatened at it's very
source"
The meeting was called by the
National Farmers Union and the
National Federation of Grain Co.
operatives.

time, and none had been within
miles Of the town since it was
bombed. So Paul Melander, my
Swedish photographer companion,
and spurred our chauffeur down
the sloping road until the cars
passage was blocked by heaps Of
refuse and rubble Of all kinds.
The only untouched houses were
those well up on the side of the
valleys down. Otherwise, vlrtu-
ally every structure had been
ST tered or burned to the ground.
Here on q hillside street, furniture
Of all kinds was piled in chaotic dis
array for 100 yards or more-just as
the fleeing owners had been COM
PEELED to abandon them. In front
Of our car big red plush sofa stood
In the road. Further on, q pair of
scales, the kind which are used for
weighing babies, was perched crazily
upon = large dresser, and behind
1t pieces Of pottery and teapot re-
posed on the crusted snow.
Only Smoking Ruins Left.
I counted eight separate fires blaz-
ing at the end Of streets leading to
the water front, but here in the
center of the town was nothing but
smoking ruins. In one square, by
some queer chance, the only struc-
ture which was but slightly damaged
was q gasoline station completely
surrounded by charred walls or
stark chimneys. I counted more
than 20 such chimneys on one side
Of one street and gave it up. They
were up the slope q little and loomed
IN the gathering dusk like 4 dead
mans grimace.
But, If anything, the odor here
was worse than the scenes on every
side. Mixed with smell of hundreds
Of burned out buildings was a curl
ously repulsive, chemical quality
which must have come from the
incendiary bombs. AS it penetrated
our nostrils, it was an evil death like
thing. Something of burnt flesh
seemed mingled with it but we
never managed to learn whether any
people died here. It would seem
inconceivable, however, If any had
escaped In the first swift and
terrible raids.
Large Scale MausoIeum.
The machine guns on the other
hill just beyond the towns ruins
were snarling louder and closer
now. We had no more time to
examine the corpse of what, for
several centuries, had been the safe
and peaceful town of Steinkjer.
Hitlers war machine had created
Its first large-scale mausoleum on
Norwegian soil. The fires were still
raging along the water front. We
went back up the hill away from
the echoing gunfire and the evil
odor and the dancing red flames.
Within . few more hours this par
ticular specimen of perfect bomb
Ing would be as complete as the
hand OF death could make it.
Until Sunday, Steinkjer must
have been a pretty little town as it
huddled there in the curving palm
OF the spruce-covered, snow-blan-
keted bluffs. The green hills are
still beautiful around Steinkjer-
where the snow isn't red.

Saturday night had his carbide lamp
lighted and on his cap. Wien he
leaned over to get a safety pin off
the window sill, the blaze connected
with the curtain which was quickly
in flames, according to Earl, he and
Charles soon had the fire out, when
Irene appeared on the scene with a
bucket of water. Earl intimated
that Irene was excited-didn't know
what she was dOing-anyway she
threw the bucket of water on Earl.
We didn't hear Irene's version, in
fact we didn't want to hear it. What
we think is if we knew what Earl
we would be better able to decide
whether Irene was excited, or not.

DC. Bar TO Help
Lawyers in Military
Service Keep Clients
Colleagues Will Work
On Cases of Men Who
Train for Defense

- A plan to preserve the professional
practices of young lawyers called to
military service is being worked out
by the District Bar Association, it
was learned today
At work on the plan is the associa-
tons Committee on Preparedness,
headed by Jerome Barnard, who is
also haison officer between the bar
association and District Selective
Service headquarters.
1--WE don't want these men to
come back to Offices without clients, "
Mr.. Barnard explained. When law
yers were called to service in the
World War, he said, their clients
went to other attorneys, and when
the lawyer soldiers returned they
had to establish their practices.
Colleagues to Help.
Mr.. Barnard's committee will help
ON pending cases. Fellow attorneys
will prepare the cases and get word
10 a lawyer so he can come back
and actually try the cases. The
committees also will help get law
yers excused from duty long enough
to try cases.
The goal of the committee is to
minimize the time the lawyer has
to put on a case and yet keep the
client assured Of his lawyers in
terest.
LAWYERS who take over the cases
for attorneys in the service, accord
ing to Mr.. Barnard, must stay in the
background and remind clients that
their own lawyer has the clients
best interests at heart and is help
ing to handle the case
The committee hopes to instill
In clients OF lawyers called as
selectees, reservists or National
Guardsmen the same idea that
employers have in promising to
rehire employees called for service,
Mr.. Barnard said.
20 Volunteer Services.
Mr.. Barnard already has approx
mately 20 men for the home de-
Tense unit and more are volun-
teering. Other lawyers, it was
understood, have given assurances
to men who may be called that
they will look after the clients of
the absent attorneys and turn back
their practices intact when they
return.
The association committee also
plans. said Mr.. Barnard, to recon-
mend some type of waiver of dues
for lawyers called into service.
