Luxembourg.
1t was pointed out that,
though 1t had been hoped that
the Red Gross would be abe

have made the need for more
money imperative if the organ
lzation IS to continue the ct
ticient relief for which is is no

Stamp Plan for Surplus Foods Said
Successful, Ordered Expanded Soon

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. tUP)-
Administration farm officials de
clared today that the stamp plan
for distributing surplus agricultural
products to needy was an "unqual-
flied success and ordered its eX-
panSiOn Speeded.
The plan, begun eXperimentally in
Rochester, N. Y, nine months ago,
now is in operation in "a cities.
Fifteen others have been selected
for start of operation within the
next 30 days
Officials said administrative ma
chinery was being developed for the
selection of nearly 100 additional
cities to have the plan in operation
in 125 cities cy July l.
Action of the house in cutting
$72 100000 from President RooSe-
velt's $172,O00,000 fiscal 194l year
budget for surplus removal has had
mo effect whatever on expansion,
officials said Congress appropriate

large staff is investigating applica-
tlons and approving them at the

Surplus foods now being distri-
buted through the plan are butter,
eggs, raiSlns, apples, dried prunes,
onions, dry beans, fresh pears, wheat
flour, corn meal, hominy grits, pork
products including lard), rice, or
anges, and grapefruit.
Official figures showed 567.187 per-
sons participating in the plan last

No official estimates were available

Tests of Democratic third term

Garner can obtain an eastern sea-

wants it in Pennsylvania, where
the Democratic state committee has
endorsed Mr.. Roosevelt for 1910.
or in New Jersey, where Mayor
Frank Hague of Jersey City is for

Labor League Head
Defies Committee
Probing Cornmunis

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20. CUP)-
Chairman Samuel Yorty of an as
sembly commltte investigating Com
munism in the SRA today sought
new means To probe asserted con-
nections of Labor's on-Partisan
league with relief matters after a
brief and abortive session last night.
The meeting broke up after Hugh
wilkins, executive vice president of
the league, appeared but refused
10 produce Subpenaed records of
the leagues membership and dues
receipts on grounds he did not have
permission of his executive board.
Yorty accused Wilkins of pur-
posely leaving the records in Los
Angeles, and said he would obtain
the leagues books if he had to
subpoena the entire, 30-member
board. He Said the league was try
ing to obtain passage of the admin
istration's reliet program but was
not very anxious to testify before
his committee.
Seth Millington. committeeman
from Gridley chided both Yorty and
wilkins. He questioned Yorty's right
to investigate the league until its
connection with relief was shown
and also questioned the honesty
OF the league in sidcstepping the
producing of records.
Under questioning. wilkins denied
the league was a Communist front"
organization and that he was or
ever had been a Communist, but
said there might be Communists
among The members.
