President Roosevelt, on March 9, 1933; called congress together to consider much emergency legis lation, including an attempt to in crease the purchasing power of farmors. The agricultural adjust ment act, later invalidated by the supreme court, was enacted. At its session next mouth, con gress will tackle again the pro lem of putting agriculture on a permanently profitable basis. The principal approach suggest ed to reach that goal is the "ever normal granary' fostered by Sec retary Wallace. The granary idea, similar to that of the Biblical Jo seph when he was a pharaoh's ad viser, proposes the storage of sur plus crops for use in years of slim harvests.

These orders, the Vatican source,, said, have gone out in a private memorandum defining tin; Vati can's position in the Sino-Japar.cae conflict. These make plain, however, the Vatican informant added, that com plete impartiality is the rule in ministering to the wounded of either side. This action, it was asserted by the Vatican source, coming after the recognition of Insurgent Gen eralissimo Franco's regime in Spain and after numerous recent assertions of the pope vigorously condemning communism, seemed to indicate the determination of the Vatican to carry on relentless (Continued on page C) J.

The first response of congnosB to appeals from farmers was enact ment of an emergency tariff act in 1921, placing high temporary duties on all agricultural imports. The McNary-Haugen farm bill was first recommended by the sen ate agriculture committee in 1924. It was defeated and revised in con gress for five year without be coming law. Twice President Cool fdgo vetoed it. The Hoover farm board was au thorized to stabilize the price of farm products by purchasing sur pluses to be resold when market conditions became mom favorable. The AAA, which became law in 1933, provided for voluntary con trol of farm production, in return for which the producer was paid cash benefits, derived from taxes laid on processors. Invalidation of the processing taxes by the supreme court led in 193G to the present soil conserva tion act, under which farmers are naid for conforming to approved land use programs. The soil conservation Rystem, however, has not met the prob lem of surpluses to the satisfac tion of administration economists. BREAK FROM LANE COUNTY JAIL FUTILE J.

BUG LYNCHING BAN B LL ADDED TO GONGRESSJOB Opposition Points to Jam That May Block Action on Three Proposals, of Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. (AP) Administration strategists, seek ing swift approval of a five-point program at the special session of congress next month, faced the possibility today of a prolonged jum over the antl-lynching bill. The senate, to get out of a par liamentary t an g 1 o in August, agreed formally to make the antl lynching measure a special order of business immediately after a vote on farm legislation at the next session. This agreement, parliamentar ians said, was so worded that It holds for the special session called by President Roosevelt. Leaders expressed the belief the agreement would not endanger wage-hour or farm legislation but world throw a serious obstacle in tbo way of the president's three other proposals. These are government reorgani zation, creation of regional plan ning authorities modeled after the TV A, and strengthening of the antt-trust laws. The wage-hour bill already has nassed the senate and would not be sidetracked by the nntl-lyneh ing debate unless the administra tion should unexpectedly abandon the bill now awaiting house action and should submit a new one.
