Crop Reduction Plan , To Be Changed in '35 (Continued Prom Page One) year's carryovers down to about nor mal. 2. Officials appreciate the possi bility that political opposition might grow If acreage reductions were con tinued In tho face or lower supplies and high prices. 3. Another year or drouth in 1935, while not expected, would require use of all acres to maintain supplies at normal. 4. Damage to next year's wheat crop Is already being predicted. Some officials point out that plowing for winter wheat ahould be under way soon but preparations are Impossible In the dust. Supervision of production will not be abandoned next year. The system of contracting for reductions, possibly bringing a number of crops under a single contract, and making benerit payments, will continue whether or not the cuts actually are executed. Two new provisions would be writ ten Into 1935 contracts, ir produc tion on expanded 'acreage next sum mer threatened to run out of bounds, rarmers would be required to pasture or cut for hay the crops on a per centage of their land.

GOVERNMENT NOT ASKING FOR THE FAMILY SILVER By William L. Iteale (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON (P) Hold on to your silver spoons, watches and dimes the government doesn't want them. And don't expect your quarters and half-dollars to turn Into any different kind of money tomor row from what they are today. These things were not changed by the presidential order nationalizing silver stocks What Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary Morgenthau are doing Is calling Into the treasury stocks of bullion silver which are traded In an the commer cial markets. These stocks may range anywhere from 45,000,000 to 250,000, 000 ounces. Buying in this sliver at the rate of 50.01 cents an ounce is what is meant by "nationalising" stiver. It Is taking government ownership of floating commercial stocks not being used in industry and commerce. When gold was nationalized the government simultaneously adopted a policy of taking that metal out of circulation as mones and storing It in huge treasury and mine vaults as a permanently-guarded support for United States money. But silver is not being taken out of circulation. You will still Jingle dimes and quarters If you have them In your pocket. The president's order is part of the administrative work in carrying out the act of congress directing the treasury to build up a stock of silver which In relation to the gold stock will be one of three. The exact amount will depend on the variations In the gold stock which now exceeds $7,000,000,000. , World's Silver Centers Both Pleased, Perplexed (Continued From Page One) shares climbed on the Toronto stock exchange and the United States dol lar was depressed at Montreal. LONDON Financial quarters were puzzled by the move. Several writers expressed doubt the program would have great effect outsido the United States.

A UOES ABROAD LONDON iff) King George's rac ing yacht Britannia, when partici pating recently In the Havre (France) regatta, made her first appearance In foreign waters In nearly 40 years. She first sailed in French waters when she raced against the Amer ican cutter Navahoe in 1894 from Cowes round Cherbourg breakwater and back a course of 120 miles. The race was sailed In half a gale of wind, and Britannia finished 3 sec onds ahead of her rival.
