AH Proposals for Agricultural
Legislation Are Threat
ened; Three SidecJ Debate
Complicated
DETERMINED OPPOSITION
MEETS DICKINSON BILL
Committee Postpones Action
. on Measures, Following
Long Debate
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 -Farm
marketing legislation was farther
engulfed today in the jam threat
ening all conflicting proposals for
agriculture when a three-sided
argument over the form of the
legislation developed 'before the
senate agriculture committee.
Determined . opposition to jthe
Dickinson bill, passed by the house
as a substitute for the Capper
Haugen measure, 'and proriding
federal aid without the Haugen
regulatory provision, was voiced
to the committee by Chairman
Carey "of the president's agricul
tural conference and after a three
hour, session the committee post
poned a decision until Monday.
Meanwhile Senator- Capper, re
publican, Kansas co-author of the,
measure, based on the conference
recommendations, held the prom
ise of the republican steering com
mittee that bis bill would be giv
en a chance on the floor, but with
administration leaders as well as
farm bloc members divided on
Ihe form It should take, enact
ment of any measure was believed
ioubtfuL. Chairman Carey de
scribed the Dickinson measure as
elever ." camouflage and "much,,
and declared it3 enactment would
provoke ne brhS1Mpwtr?B'efnter-
department tights ever known.
He said the bill was drawn by
Henry C Taylor, chief of " the
bureau of agricultural economics,
whom he described as oa "antag
onist," pf the conference, and con
tended it would ' make him "dic
tator of cooperative marketing."
Representative Dickinson, repub
lican, Iowa, author of the house
bill, i defended his measure, and
argued the Capper-Haugen bill
would set cooperative marketing
back "about 25 years."

was passed by both houses. It

Governor Pierce vetoed the bill.

the creation of an additional in

In explaining his; veto of the
election ticket measure, Governor
Pierce said: ?;:'. ' r
"I am herewith returning house
bill 38 with my veto. This toll
is intended to prevent the publi

necessity for such . a law.V The
friends of good government, lactam

method of conveying their ' infor

through a ticket published and dis

ARMY AIR CHIEF RAPPED :
SEVERELY FOR ACTIONS
'Muzzling" Vigorously De
nied; Says Coolidge Edict
Not Obeyed
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, Sec
retary , Weeks y reappeared today
before the house aircraft commit
tee and fired a contradictory shot
at practically 'all of the charges
that Brigadier General -Mitchell,
assistant army air chief has hurled
against both the war and navy
departments. - "
The war secretary also turned
the flow of charges on the gene
ral himself and declared ho had
deliberately disobeyed instructions
from President Coolidge in pub
lishing certain magazine articles
without war department approval,
. General Mitchell published the
articles, the secretary said, with
out the required approval, despite
a letter from the president, caut
ioning him against it
Muzzling Denied '' '
Mr. .Weeks also said he wished
to state "emphatically," the war
department had not : "muzzled"
either- General Mitchell : or any
other officer to keep from 'telling
the truth" to congressional com
mittees. ! Asked during his testi
mony If 'he cared to express an
opinion "as to whether yow, will
reannoint Mitchell." wh.ose ap
pointment expires next month, theJ
secretary replied : -That is a
matter which' is entirely in tbe
hands of the president. It would
be distinctly inappropriate for m6
to discuss this matter before tak
ing it up" with ; the president,
which I have not done."
Mr. Weeks had hardly begun
his testimony today, when seve
ral members, by questioning led
the discussion directly to the
Mitchell controversy with the war
department.' Under a running fire
of questions on this subject, the
secretary denied his request that
Mitchell submit articles tor ap
proval before publication could be
looked upon as "muzzling." ari
declared he had taken this action
because he became "tired" of re
peated protests from the secretary
of the navy on the general's state
ment. - w'
Several times throughout the
two hours Mr. Weeks was on the
witness, stand, the discussion
veered to various phases of the
army air service only to return
abruptly to some new angle of
the Mitchell case. -
I never deleted any of General
MltcheU's articles," - Mr. r Weeks
said at one. time, "but I did, get
tired of the continual protests of
the navy department," and added
later to a question: "But to give
up entire control over matters pro
duced by officers of the army, I
won't do as long as I am secretary
