PAGE TWO News Review of Current Events the World Over Him—High Tax Senators Win a Victory—NationalMilk Control Program Withdrawn. By EDWARD W. PICKARD . cdanpe oath ROOSEVELT’S reply to the attacks on Rexford Guy Tugwell, which were renewed by oppoments of the administration after the Wirt story was made public, comes in the form of promotion for the head of the brain trust. He has been serving as assistant secretary of agriculture, and is now ad-— vanced by the President to the newly cre ated position of unF dersecretary of agriMie tosagii culture, his salary beR. @. Tugwell ing increased from $7,600 to $10,000 a year. A new as sistant secretary can now be appointed who will relieve Mr. Wallace and Mr. Tugwell of some of their heavy duties. The department has been conaidered understaffed: The post of undersecretary was created by a re eent act of congress, Tugwell’s appointment will have to be confirmed by the senate, and it was considered certain the Republicans would take advantage of the opportunity to make fresh attacks on him and his theories of government. The President also advanced Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, a Boston banker, from .assistant secretary to underHESTER C. DAVIS, head of the Farm Adjustment administration, announced that the national milk contro] program designed to help ‘dairy farmers had been withdrawn “because we do not feel that it has sufficient Support from the farmers.” If sentiment changes it may be revived later, but for the present, only minor features are to be carried out, These include dairy purchases for relief purposes and reduction in the number of diseased cattle, The program, worked out. after months of study and argument, called for benefit payments of from $165,000,000 to $300,000,000 to dairymen who joined in the plan. In return, the producers were to reduce their milk flow 10 per cent below the peak months of the 1932-1933 period. As in the case of other farm programs, the funds for benefit payments were to come. from a processing tax, This was to be one cent a pound on ‘butterfat and the figure was to be raised gradually to five cents a pound. A statement issued by the farm administration said the milk decision “is in accord with the administration's fixed policy to attempt no adjustment program which does not have the support of a substantia] majority of those engaged in the industry.” President Shows Confidence’ in Tugwell by Promoting SRA RES NR OPEN hearings will begin May 2 by the senate committee on privileges and elections on petitions for the removal from office of Huey P, Long, senator from Louisiana, Walter Pp, George of Georgia gave out notice that “only charges sufficient in substance and form” and which were not considered by the special campaign expenditures committee last year would be investigated. Notices were sent to Mra. Hilda Phelps Hammond, Mrs. Ruffin G. Pleasant and former Governor of Louisiana John M. Parker, all of whom have filed petitions seeking removal of the “kingfish,.” In the run-off Democratic primary in the Sixth Louisiana district to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative Bolivar RK. Kemp, Senator Long’s candidate, Harry D. Wilson, was decisively beaten by Jared Y. Sanders. Nomination in the primary is equivalent to election. OHN DILLINGER, © the notorious outlaw, and several members of his gang fought their way out of a trap laid by federal agents and possemen ge ee ten miles east of : Manitowish, tn northern Wisconsin, In three desperate gun battles three men were killed and eight wounded, and the bandits escaped into the woods. Three women who had been with the Dillinger gang were arrested. Two others were believed to have fled with the desperadoes. These two came from Minneapolis and were thought to have warned Dillinger of the impending raid on the . camp where he had been for several days. Some hours after the battles in Wisconsin three members of the gang were seen by three deputy sheriffs in a suburb of St. Paul, Minn, A running gun fight ensued and one of the gangJohn Dillinger THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET. California News of the Week (By WNU Service) All able-bodied transient men will -be required to work in exchange for Federal aid and those who refuse to labor will receive no further help from “he government, under a new Policy effective for California, as announced in Los Angeles by H. A. R. Carleton, state director of the Federal transient exchange, . Economic conditions are definitely improving in Fresno county with the result that tax delinquency is but 8.2 per cent for the present fiscal year as compared to 11.5 per cent a year ago. Complaints received by the state division of labor statistics and law enforcement from persons charging violations of the labor laws fell off 16:2 per cent in March, as compared with a year ago, according to T. A. Reardon, head of the state department of industrial relations. Supervisors of California public re. lief departments will scrutinize closely recent trends in public relief work in San Diego at a special meeting to be held in conjunction with the 26th annual conference of social work, May 13-17. The state emergency relief com-: mission also will hold a session at the time of the convention under the chairmanship of Archibishop Edward J. Hanna, Courtesy week will be observed on the highways of California beginning May 13 in a special effort to promote greater courtesy on the part of motorists of a kind that will produce greater safety. Plans for the employment of 300 a secretary of the treasury, which position had been vacant since Raymond Moley stepped out. The higher personnel of that department is now being placed on a permanent basis for the first time since Henry Morgenthau, Jr., became its head, 1) Reena of the American Society : of Newspaper Editors nssembied tm Washington heard a warm and elaberate defense of the New Deal deliv ered by Professor Tugwell, who is in part responsible for most of the recovery measures adopted by the present administration. Denying that those who are advising the Presivent seek to bring about radical chanjes in the life and economic policies of the American people, Professor Tugwell described himself as a “thorough conServative.” “We have a saving irreverenve of authofity,” said Professor Tugwell in speaking of the charncteristics of the American people, “which gets us out of holes. These basic traits determine the structure of our laws and of our government. No one, with the sliyitest sense of history, would try to fit such a people into a regimented scheme, would try to think for them tnstead of getting them to think for themselves. ‘ “The New Deal is not something which can establish itself in the mind of a dictator or a small governing group. That was the fatal theory of the system from which we are turning away. Its base has to be as broad as the economy which has to be brought under control and as deep as the minds and the hearts of the people whom it affects.” \/ torory in the conference was won by the senate high tax bloc, for the house conferees accepted virtually all the senate increases in estate and gift ‘taxes, the capital stock and excess profits taxes and liberal compromises over income-tax publicity and consolidated returns, The conference agreement was complete except for the Couzens amendment, adding 10 per cent to all individua] -income-tax returns next year, The house will take a separate vote om this, and it was believed the senate would not insist on it if it were reJected by the house. With the revenue bill thus disposed of, the senate finance committee began public hearings. on the adminis. * tration’s reciprocal tariff bill, which the house has passed. SENATORS who urge. the remonetization of silver held a conference with President Roosevelt but received from him no encouragement for silver legislation, though no conclusion wag reached. The possibility of silver purchases was discussed and the President indicated a disposition to give this matter consideration, but on the whole there was no indication the government will embark on such a policy. The silver senators were not at all satisfied with the President's attitude and held a meeting at ’ which eight voted to support mandatory legislation for the benefit of silver, Later it was rellably stated that the President was maturing a plan for internationa) stabilization of -currencies and that silver figures prominently in it. Mr. Roosevelt, it was revealed, favors the inclusion of silver in the meta] base of currency issues to the extent of 30 per cent, the remaining 70 per cent to be gold. This change can be safely made, however, the President points out, only by international agreement whereby all the signatory nations would admit silver to their reserves against which paper money is issued. In the London economic and monetary conference Senator Key Pittman offered such a plan, proposing that central banks keep 20 per cent, or onefifth, of their metal cover or reserve cutrency in silver, The proposal UBA asked for the extradition of Gerardo Machado, deposed president of the island republic, so a general police alarm was sent out from Washington for his , arrest. United States marshals went first to the apartment he had . been occupying, in New York, and were told by his secretary, Julio Fernandez, ‘that he had left for.-parts~: unknown. Federal § port authorities and border officials were told to watch for the fugitive. If they can get him back, the Cuban authorities intend to try Machado on charges of murder based on wholeSale shootings which occurred a few days before he fled from the island. They also plan to ask extradition of Gen, Alberto Herrera, Machado’s former chief of staff, who like his master took refuge in the United States. Machado has lived in seclusion with members of his family in the Bahamas, Canada and this country since his flight from Cuba. He established -his New York residence about six months ago. Gerardo Machado wis unexpected celerity the railway executives and rail union chiefs reached an accord in the wage dispute, and the danger of a strike was averted for another year. At the instance of President Roosevelt but without government interference they worked out their own settlement after the federal negotiators had failed to get results and Co-ordinator Joseph B. Eastman had withdrawn as mediator. Under the arrangement decided upon the 10 per cent wage cut which has prevailed in the railroads during the last two years is to be gradually wiped out in the next twelve months, Two and a half per cent of the existing wage cut is to be restored July 1, another 2%4-percent on January 1, and the remaining 5 per cent on April 1, 1935. In other words, instead of a 10 per cent cut rail workers will have only a 7% per cent cut prevailing between July 1 and January 1, a 5 per cent cut prevailing between January 1 and April 1, and full pay restoration after April 1. These terms worked out by the emPloyers and employees are actually more favorable to the workers than the terms which Président Roosevelt twice asked them to accept. When informed of the settlement, Mr. Roosevelt said: and their employees have been able to settle their wage dispute by mutual) agreement. The country should be, and will be, grateful to them for this disposition of what might have developed into a troublesome controversy. I congratulate both sides on the wisdom and restraint which they have exhibited. They have set a good example.” Coen DE PRIEST, negro_ congressman: from Chicago, won a victory in his fight to remove the house restaurant bar against members of his race. He obtained adoption of his resolution for investigation of the right of Lindsay Warren of North Carolina to fix the rules and regulations for the restaurant—which of course doesn’t mean that negroes will be served in that dining room. The vote was 237 to 114, and the balloting followed the Mason and Dixon line almost without exception. Mr. De .Priest showed his wisdom when he learned that some Commu. nist organizations. were. planning to take advantage of the occasion by staging a demonstration against “Jim Crowism.” He said no friend of his a 8 000, compared with the $7,000,000 to be spent in exporting wheat this year, port about the 90,000,000-bushel quota given the United States under the international agreement on the basis of the differential of 22%4 cents between the domestic and world prices, Pshsadn through the Panama cana) on the way from the Pacific to the At“I am very glad that the railroads . lantic, was carried out successfully, but not in the hoped-for 24 hours, The time consumed was almost double that, which led the Tokyo press to declare the movement was a “failure.” [* AN extemperaneous address at an federal subsistence homestead projects, Mr, Roosevelt anwered various critics of his administration with the declaration that the-New Deal is a program of evolution, not revolution, one of the administration’s foremost in life, Mr. Roosevelt denied charges that the program contemplated “regi. mentation” of great numbers of people, President said. “We are not going to take people by force from one community and put them in another,” sistence homesteads will cost the goyernment less than it would cost to keep these families on direct relief, those families, brain trust or otherwise, in an effort to discover new sters apparently was wounded, but the across the Mississippi ‘river, would be shot on sight. MERICAN Federation of Labor chiefs have begun a drive to
unionize the telephone workers of the country. They charge the American Telephone and Telegraph company is violating the NRA laws through its company unions. It is also asserted that financiers are buying up smal) telephone “companies in the Middle West and Chicagoland at unreasonable prices and then forcing the stock on their employees at fat protits for themselves, Besides demanding that stock sales to employees be outlawed under the pending NRA code for the telephone industry, the A. F, of L. workers told Deputy Administrator L, H. Peeples that the NRA should force the telephone companies to stop expansion of dial telephone systems until such a time as employment conditions become normal. Cy res of the Department of Agriculture believe the wheat carry-over into 1935 may amount to 340,000,000 bushels, and are studying the export markets to find a possible outlet for part of it. But they cannot develop an export policy until the work of the international wheat conference at Rome is completed, The wheat carry-over on July 1 this year is expected to be about 265,000,900 bushels, to which may be added 75,000,000 bushels surplus from this year’s prospective crop of 700,000,000 bushels, Secretary Wallace has suggested that processing taxes on wheat might be increased and that the amount of the tax ear-marked to promote exports might be raised from 2 to 4 or even 5 cents, . A 5-cent tax on the 400,000,000 bushels yearly processing of taxable wheat would return approximately $20,000,This total would be sufficient to exof the American fleet of 111 veasels, 2 exhibition in connection with the Praising the homestead system as chievements in helping depressiontricken families to gain a fresh start “There is no regimentation,” the In the long run, he said, the gub“We will work out a system for tor Was not acted on at the conference. would take part in this & things for communities to do,” he said, © by Western Newspaper Union. trio escaped and stole an automobile in which they headed for the bridge Federal and local officials throughout all that region were on the lookout for the Dillinger gang with the tacit understanding that the desperadoes of the Armenian General Benevolent Union recently at the final session of the two-day convention in Visalia. men, in 12 camps in the El Dorado National Forest from May to October have been announced by Forest Supervisor Edwin F, Smith in Placerville.

The move placed trainmen and bus operators on the same wage level as they were on before any cuts were made in 1932, and will restore the rest of the employes to the wage level of prior to August 1, 1932. San Diego opened its war on rabies recently when: the city council passed an ordinance making it mandatory that all dogs be vaccinated. State Controller Riley has predicted there will be a loan diversion of $7,000,000 in state highway funds during May and June to meet obligations of the deplated state general fund. Riley said the general fund owes various. state special funds, about $5,000,000, which probably will not be paid during the current biennium. He predicts that $7,000,000 to be borrowed will be paid back during July and August when sales taxes and public utility taxes come in. C. B. Steddom, who said he reprePROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY .
