PAGE THREE The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, September 27, 1929 EASY HE Sirs President of Farm Board to Jake Plenty of Time In New Job WASHINGTON. Sep. 26. (AP) Alexander rgj?e, whp gave up a $100,000 annual salary as head of the International Harvester company to become chairman of the federal farm board, told, the senate agriculture committee to day he -would not want tht posi tion under the misapprehension that he would favor a hurried or haphazard plan of farm relief. He pledged himself to do all In his power to make the farmer prosperous by working out the ag ricultural problem constructively. After a series of questions on production and marketing. Sena tor Norbeck. republican, South Dakota, remarked that as he un derstood the chairman, he "holds out no hope of restoring the pur. chasing power of the farmers dol lar to Its pre-war level.'' "Oh, I wouldn't go that far," Legge replied. "Well, then, the senator re turned, "yon hold out a hope but ao guarantee." Legge was prevented by other questioning from replying. The board chairman said a fa Torable price effect was noticed after arrangement of a $9,000,000 loan to the Sun-Maid" raisin In terests of California. He was Asked why the announcement of come concrete program or the Is suance of s statement would not have helped boost the price of cot ton or wheat. "A statement on cost of pro duction . might have had a tem porary beneficial effect," he re plied, "but It would have been mere guess work." Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina, contended a statement saying" the board intended to use Its full resources to help condi tions would have aided greatly. "We had a right to expect the board to go right to the relief of the great staple pxodncts of this country." Smith said. , The Czechoslovakia!! cabinet which left office today was formed last February to succeed a govern ment which left office today was formed last February to succeed a government which had been In office about two years and a half. It waa a coalition affair and ap parently party leaders decided to make an attempt to gain a clear majority by fresh elections. Par liament was therefore dissolved and the new election date fixed for October 27. The turnover in governments in Lithuania was chiefly remarkable for the withdrawal from all par ticipation by former Premier Wal demaras, who had also been for eign minister. He had exercised strict control, of the government since with the aid of the army he had sent parliament home three years ago. Today he-handed over the premiership to Onas Tubells, who has retained most of the cab inet members. CMii THIRD ClflET IN WEEK FORCED OUT VIENNA. Austria, Sept. '-SC. '(AP) -Resignations of the Aus trian and Czechoslovak ian cabin ets today brought to three the number of governments- iW central European states reformed after the World war which have fallen within a week. Individual internal difficulties were responsible for the changes rather than any sin gle outside force. In Austria Dr. Ernst Streeru witz who on April" 30 succeeded with difficulty in forming a coal ition cabinet, was forced out of office by withdrawals of support by the Syrian farmers league. Po lice Commissioner Schober, who has undertaken to form a new government, was chancellor in 1921. - fltlS ME SOUGHT WINNIPEG, Sept. 26. (AP) (By the Canadian Press) An armada of the air, under com mand of dominion explorers, stood ready tonight to move to ward the Arctic circle in search of eight fliers in two planes, missing for two weeks. Fully a dozen planes, directed by Capt. J. Blanchett, at Stoney Rapids, in northwest Saskatche wan, were expected to take part in the aerial hunt. From three points the broad area between the northern bound aries of the prairie provinces and the frozen stretches of Corona tion Gulf, experienced aviators will converge toward the district where the missing fliers may be found. Search; for the dominion ex plorers party, which includes the company's president: Col. C. D. H. McAlpine, took definite shape today with the arrival from To ronto of a party of eastern air officials. Thayer Lindsley and Brig. Gen. D. M. Hogarth, directors of do minion explorers are the executive officers in charge of arrange-' ments here. Last word of the missing party came from ' Bakers Lake, two weeks ago and the two planes were to have arrived at Fort Nor mal four days ago after a trip across Canada's northwest territories.
