 They did.
 It was a double wedding, in the warehouse of Tim Donovan's fac- tory, with cases of Wondrosoap piled high around them. There was no music, other than the whirr of machine belts, the clanking of gears, The voices of workmen filled in for . ch0ir.

 Ted and Joe handsome in cut- aways. Mike Flynn gave the girls away, pulling at too tight collar.

Quotas for Wheat

By the Associated Press.
Incomplete but representative re.
turns from farmer referendum
+ early today indicated approval fol-
an Agriculture Department propo.
sal to invoke marketing quotas or
this years wheat crop.
Votes from 80 of the 81 wheat
producing States, three of which
were complete, gave 181 ,280 for and
64,358 against the control program
This was a favorable majority OF
1873 per cent.
Agriculture Department officials
had predicted that at least rs per
cent of the bread grain growers
would vote for quotas.
The rigid marketing control
measure was proposed as one means
OF dealing with surplus wheat
problem that threatens to overtax
commercial storage facilities and in
terfere with transportation of de-
Tense materials. Under the quota
system, the department could tell
farmers how much they might sell.
81 States Participate.
The voting took place in 81 wheat
producing States under provisions
of the 1888 A. A. A. farm law in the
first grower test of Federal farm
marketing control for a major crop
produced principally outside the
South. Quotas have already been
voted for cotton and tobacco.
A. A. A. confidence in the outcome
was pinned largely on the fact that
a Government price-supporting loan
program for wheat could be con-
tinued only If quotas were ap-
proved. Legislation enacted recent
ly authorizes q wheat loan rate OF
IS per cent of parity-or about 81
cents a bushel-compared with last
years rate of S. per cent, or 70
cents a bushel.
parity is a term used to de-
scribe prices which would give
farm products as much pur-
chasing power as they had in
base period, 1909-19140
Largely because of prospects for
such a loan rate, wheat has been
selling close to a dollar a bushel at
Chicago. Officials declared defeat
of the quotas and the consequent
discontinuance of the loan program
would result in a sharp drop in
prises, possibly between IS and 40
cents bushel.
Quotas Limitation.
If approved. quotas would limit
farmers to the sale of wheat pro-
duced under 194l A. A. A. planting
allotments, plus any wheat from
previous crops. Grain produced this
year on excess acreages would be
subject to a penalty tax of half the
Government loan rate unless stored
under bond for future use or de-
livered to the Government for re-
lief use.
Quotas would be coupled with an
other measure designed to reduce
this country's wheat surplus. Next
years national planting allotment
for the bread grain has been set at
SIS, 5000 acres, or 100000 acres
less than this years allotment.
officials said much of the acreage
diverted from wheat could be used
in producing dairy. poultry and
meat products needed for Great
Britain.

CoIifornion Says U. S.

administration. Senator Johnson
Republican, of California asserted
last night that "dismayed. betrayed

that the subtle plan is about to

Senator johnson challenged those
who favor intervention in Europe to

In prepared radio speech he said
that President Roosevelt speaks
with the confidence of a Hitler or a
Mussolini." And, he added, the
Presidents statement would put Ito
blush even these two braggarts."
Does he feel so confident of the
Congress that he can utterly disre-
gard it?" the Senator asked.
How better and Drawer it will be

to present their resolution" he said.

Sees Entry as Disastrous.
The 74-year-old johnson, one Of
the Senate group which blocked
Americas entry into the League of
Nations after the World War, said
this country's entry into war now
could be nothing more than disas-
trous."
Referring to Mr.. Ioosevelt's ad-
dress on Tuesday night, Senator
johnson asserted:
1T is pretty to hear the head of
the Government boast about what
we have done in terms we do not
understand and about our readiness
to repel attack from any quarter.
1T makes us all proud to hear him
tell about our two-ocean Navy now,
and how it would, as we all know,
give good account of itself in case
of war; but it is terrible to realize
the fact that We have not as yet a
two-ocean Navy, and that it could
not do what is claimed for it,"
Saying that Mr.. Roosevelt had
talked of possible German bombing
of Middle Western cities, Senator
johnson contended that the Chief
Executive has "artistically preached
fear. while decrying it. He has said
there is nothing to fear but fear,
and then, in bold lines, he has
drawn the picture of fear so that
our people will feel it,

Double BurreIed Attack
On American Policies
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC Sunday, June THE
Times Advertiser, under Japanese
foreign ONCE control, carried a
double-barreled attack on United
States policies today under the
headings Influence on the Dutch"
and Unnatural Restriction"
Referring to Japanese negotia-
lions with The Netherlands Indies,
the editorial said, TT is obvious
that the Dutch government in Lon
don and the island administration
are not acting alone. They are sub
ject to the persuasive influence Of
the United States and Britain.
Allowance can be made for the
military needs of Britain, yet there
is a substantial surplus (of East
Indies products) which must be left
to other nations in this geographic
cal area.
Natural Right Of Exchange.
"In such things as rubber, oil, tin
and quinine, nations within the CO.
prosperity sphere the Japanese ideal
for East Asia have a natural right
of exchange.
Influence (of the United States
and Britain) should be employed in
a reasonable effort at a solution.
Procrastination can only be set down
as indirect hostility.
The trifling charges that Japan
can be used as re-export base for
BRIT ms enemies cannot stand in
the light of known transportation
conditions and other empediments,
the chief of which is Japan's own
national requirements"
Nothing in recent months has
aroused such storm of criticism in
the Japanese press as the long delay
in the Japanese trade negotiations
with the Indies.
