pHESIDENT Hoover, asked for
an expression of opinion on the
export debenture plan of (lie Na-j
t.'onal Granse an a part of the new '
farm roller hill, declines to give

time to study It Jn detail he says.
Then he offers to have government I
experts obtain Information, as to
how such a plan has operated In
other countries.

'T'tiK export debenture plan of,
the National Grange Is In very'
many ways the simplest proposal i
for farm relief that 1ms been ad-1
vanced. It amounts, In effect, to
paying a direct bonus, or bounty, i
on agricultural exports, tlius giving
to the farmer for his exportable
surplus a higher price than that
justified by the world market.
The money with which to pay
this bonus, or bounty, would be
obtained by a system of rphmaa
the duty on Imports. These rebates i
,,, K , ... !
would be made commercially avail-;
uoie uy means or certificates, or
"debentures." Hence the name "ex-
port debenture plan"
rr,, , , ,
The plan, of course, would be a
luuuuauwu way or tuning money
out of the treasury, because money
prevented from going Into the
treasury, by means of these deben
tures, would be exactly equivalent
to money taken out of the treas
ury. "HE problem that would remain

Mm. Lorraine Wiseman-Stela ft
had her favorable day in the im

Carlos S. Hardy yesterday but on
Monday it may be a different story
when the defense attacks her testi
mony with records out of the Los
Angeles distrist attorney's office
including evidence purporting to
show that she has been an inmate
of an insane asylum at Provo,
Utah.
Attorneys defending Judge,
Hardy declared today they had in
structed the Los Angeles district
attorney's office to send to Sacra

timony given during the grand
jury and municipal court hearings
of the Aimee Semple McPherson I
kidnaping case iu 192G.

Some of the points made yester

hostesses was so great as to cre
ate a serious moral situation.
Although he' did not mention

front to law and order."
"This question of a night club
hostess Is a very serious one," he

CARNEGEE FUND
TEACHERS
Pension Expert Says Poor
Management Threatens
Organization With
Bankruptcy.
Promises to Professors of
Certain Age Have to Be
Repudiated Salary
Boosts Blamed.
(AunrlatH Vrm hvttnl Wire)
NKW YORK, April 13. Reduc
tion In pension payments under the
$30,000,000 Carnegie foundation for
the advancement of teaching was
the subject of controversy today.
Monell Sayre, former pension ex
pert of the foundation and inter
national authority on the subject,
charged in an address at Colum
bus, Ohio, last night that "extraor
dinary ineptitude" of the manage
ment has brought the organiza
tion to a slate of virtual bank
ruptcy. This charge, however, mot with
denial from Dr. Henry S. Pritchett,
the foundation's president, who
declared tho modification policy
simply a readjustment to meet
changing salary conditions In the
teaching profession.
Promises Not Kept
Mr. Sayre said that in 191G, ten
years after establishment of the
foundation by Andrew Carnegie
with a gift of tlO.000,000, it "In ef
fect confessed bankruptcy" by re
pudiating nromises of pensions to
professors then under 48 years or
age. It was able to continue Us
promises to those, over that age.
he said, by an- additional gift of
51fi,000.000 from tho Carnegie
foundation.
Approximately 3.600 professors
not yet In receipt of pensions are
to have their pensions 'recalculat
ed' on a new basis. This 'recalcu
lation means another drastic re
pudiation of promises. The persons
Involved are peculiarly to be
pitied, because they are professors
too near the ago of retirement to
change their financial plans for
old age."
Millions to Be Dealt
Mr. Prichelt In his reply said Ihe
foundation will distribute between
45 and 50 millions of dollars In
pensions during the next 35 years.
"Its rules." he said, "have never
been contractual and have always
made clear the fact that great
changes In the compensation of
teachers would necessitate read
justments from time to time In the
pension scheme.
"During the past few years sal
aries of college teachers have more
than doubled and the rules have
been readjusted to this great rise
In salary by the use of a fixed
scale whlcJi will not vary In tho
rfiiture."

WASHINGTON, April 13. Some
members of the senate agrtcuiure
committee have definitely turned
to Ihe debenture plan of the Na
tion Orange as n part of the r?ev
farm relief plan iu place of th
equalization lee.
While there Is aa yet no cer
