D. R.'s Pledge to Suspend .Parity Plan if it Fails, v Argument for Proposal a WASHINGTON, March IT I At j congressional action on President Roosevelt's farm relief program was postponed until next week as a movement for revision of some of its most drastic provi sions today reached proportions that forecast a bitter legislative battle. There was a strong sentiment to . heed the chief executive s plea for "a trial" of the most com' plicated of his four proposals for emergency actios. Bet likewise there was a persistent disposi tion to delay action until the re actions of producers and proces sors may be measured. Agricultural committees of both senate and house studied the measure which would place In the hands of Secretary Wal lace authority to apply the pro visions of different relief plans to nine farm commodities cot ton, wheat, corn, hogs, cattle, sheep, tobacco, rice, milk and Its products. The movement to revise the measure was most apparent In the senate, where chief criticism centered about the bill's provi sion authorizing the secretary of agriculture to require licenses from all processors and handlers of these commodities. One of the strongest factors In providing support for the bill was the president's pledge to stop Its operation if it appeared to be a failure and his statement that if it failed he "would be the first to acknowledge it." Many members of congress said this was a definite acceptance of complete responsibility for the. ex periment the most elaborate ef fort to find a soUUoo. for-longstanding farm problems -ever ap proved by a chief executive. Consumer Borden Put By Wallace at $800,000,000 Stronr interest attached to a statement reported to have been made by Wallace before the sen ate committee in which he esti mated that "the burden to be borne by the consumers would be -about 8800.000.000." Because provisions of the bill are so broad, this was taken tn torn auarters to indicate the trend of the administration's plan for administering the act.

( AP) Japanese delegate at recent at which the Sino-Japanese conflict was considered, declared today before his departure for America that war between the United States and Japan "would be an act of madness." Mr. Matsuoka, who will pass through the United States on his way to Tokyo, asserted O Americans have "condoned the fault of Chinese misgoversment and magnified those of Japanese good government" "The United States and Japan have an Important mission to ful fill for the sake of humanity in building up the coming era of Pa cific civilization, in which the east and west will unite in peace for the first time in history' the Jap anese diplomat said in an inter view.

March 17. AP) A new gold rush, brought on by the anti-hoarding act, has poured a stream of the precious metal valued at $327,000,000 in to the federal reserve banks since they reopened. The deadline came at 2 p. m. today. Orders have gone out to all federal reserve banks to send in the names of persons who, dur ing the two years prior to last March t, drew out gold sufficient to be classed for hoarding and failed to return it. Federal financial officials have not yet decided what disposition will be made of the names sent in by the member banks. It has been hinted, however, that with such a list in hand the treasury could either publish the list, pointing to those named as hoard ers, or turn over the list to the department of Justice under the anti-hoarding act. Regulations have yet to be drawn as to what Is considered hoarding. Administration officials were pleased today at a treasury com pilation showing that "money in circulation" had shrunk by $269,- 000,000. This indicated a de crease in hoarding, since money in circulation" Is that which can not be accounted for by the gov ernment and Its banking agencies St. Helens Man Fails to Win in Big Bank Holdup WOODLAND, Wash., March 17 (AP) A man who staged a $6000 holdup at the Security State bank near noon today and was shot and critically injured as he fled from the scene, was lden titled tonight, authorities said, as Albert I.

Miss Crawford made it plain that divorce proceedings were not contemplated and insisted that "these damage actions have nothing to do with it." Diets accused Fairbanks of stealing the affections of Solveig Diets and accused the actor of false Imprisonment in an inves tigation which Fairbanks said was precipitated when Diets and a woman, known to him as Mrs. Curtis, tried to sell him a dia mond necklace for $6000 last De cember.

Lincoln's impregnable defense and quite acceptable offense turn ed the first semi-final game Fri day night into one ef the most one-sided affairs of its kind that a state tournament crowd has ever witnessed, but the lmpres siveness of the Railsplitters crunching attack and the vicious ness of Astoria's futule attempts to get going, conspired to deprive the contest of any element of tameness.
