"A TRIP THRU ZION PARK" EUROPEANS SEEK .UNITY, . iIiKlAlU SAYS (Continued form Pago One) Dino Grandl, Italy's foreign min ister, supported the contention of Curtlus that both Turkey and Russia be asked to sit in.

NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO REDUCE ACREAGE, LEGGE (Continued form Page One) brokers using financial pressuro In an attempt to break down the stabil izing operations by calling for doubled margin on May wheat but offering to carry growers at the old figure If contracts wero transferred to the new crop of July wheat, un supported by the board. In a letter to Representative Burt ness of North Dakota, Legge said the bill "is along tho right lines as ar- : fording the quickest method of deal ing with tho situation." "However," the board head con- tlnued, "it is immaterial to us how this result la arrived at but present , conditions certainly Justify action on tho part of congress to meet the j present emergency. "Just how this relief is to be af- ! forded is perhaps not material. Some time ago in writing Senator Capper, I suggested that unless there was an improvement In world conditions wo would ask for a temporary em bargo on wheat imports; however. Just as strong an argument could be made on other grains, including beans. "Some of these commodities are coming into the country on a basis that seems as though the price ob tained for them would hardly pay the cost of transportation from the areas in which they are produced. "So far there has been no impove ment In world prices. Many stu dents of the situation seem to think that there Is a probability that they will go still lower. I therefore hope that before the present congress ad journs they will find it possible to pass such legislation as will protect tho American producer during tills period of distress."
