TPHESE results in Wyoming, add

A NOTHER small and perhaps

H. H. Schwartz, of Casper, in

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. (AP)
Difficulty In determining the
tonnage to be included In u pro
posed substandard prune diver
sion program for the Pacific coast
was reported by farm officials.
With estimates of the sub-stand
nrdv fruits in this year's prospec
tive crop of 18!),ri00 tons running
as high as ten per cent, general
crops section experts were "find
ing it considerable of a struggle"
to determine the tonnage to be di
verted to by-products channels.
"We do not expect a decision
now before next week," a spokes
man said.
Karlier in the week If. C. Dun
lap, president of the California
Prune and Apricot ti rowers asso
ciation, had indicated California
growers would harvest a crop of
156,000 tons this season, with Ore
gon and Washington growers con
tributing an additional 33.000 tons.
Slightly more than 10,000 tons of
substandard prunes were diverted
by by-products uses last year, but
they were of the 1934 crop.

urging the pardon of Dirk Do-

ernor Martin said today.
De.Ionee Is serving seven years

quire that much time. ;
Cooke and his associates indi
cated they were considering the
recommendation of rigid land and
water conservation, state laud
zone laws, a stable system of cred
it for great plains farmers, and
feasible irrigation and reclamation
projects.
Lewis C. Gray, head of the land
utilization division of the resettle
ment administration and special
consultant for the committee on its
3,000-mile trip through the drought
area, said he did not believe there
was a need for extensive shifting
of farm families from the arid
lands to other districts he added:
"Nature itself already has thin
ned out the population In the bad
sections."
New Credit Plat) Advised H
Gray said there is need for a
new credit system.
"Under the present system,
banks make loans, encouraging ex
pansion, during good crop growing
years,' he said. "Then in bad years
they demand payment. What the
farmers need is credit for neces
sary improvements but not for
over-expansion."
He said a good zoning law Is
needed in each of the drought
states to force the return of un
productive crop lands to grass.
i Certain "reforms" in farm prac
tices to conserve lands and water
also are needed, ho said. -'
The committee will make its re
port to President Roosevelt late
next week in South Dakota.

Gov. Clarence D. Martin laid re
sponsibility for maintaining order
in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's
rine-dny-old newsroom strike today
at the doors of municipal and King
county authorities.
Declaring "law and order have
not failed in Seattle," the governor
In a radio address at Portland,
Oregon, last, night said he saw no
occasion to "talk of use of the
state patrol," or "even to think of
t lie national guard."
He lashed out at what he called
an "inflammatory editorial" deal
ing -with the strike called by the
Seattle chapter of the American
Newspaper guild August 13 in pro
test against the discharge of two
guild members who, newspaper ex
ecutives asserted, were dismissed
for cause.
At the same lime the governor
expressed the hope arbitration
could be effected and tendered his
services toward a "better under
standing and peaceful settlement"
of the strike.
Guild pickets continued to pa
trol the closed plant and a few
police were on hand, with no exter
na ndleations of trouble. Neither
was there any Intimation from eith
er the newspaper or guild execu
lives that the end of the deadlock
was in sight, or negotiations oi
any kind were1 under way.
Stubbornness Decried

"Unfortunately, there are tnvir
