Need of Action V
PORTLAND,- Aug. 21 (AP)
An export wheat subsidy plan to
move the burdensome exportable
surplus from the - Pacific north
west may be proclaimed within a
week, grain men said they judged
from, the speed with which action
toward this end was taken at a
preliminary hearing on the matter
held here today by the federal
agricultural adjustment adminis
tration. After listening all day to the
ideas of all groups Interested,
Douglas Mclntyre, chairman of a
special committee reoresentlnc
me agricultural adinstment ad
ministration, convened a special
executive committee tonieht to
whip together details of a nlan.
Mclntyre said he expect its re
port in the morning, and as soon
as tt is approved by the secretary
or agriculture a formal hearing
will be called In Portland.
While 10 days is the custom
time of notice for such a hearing
where no emergency exists, Mc
lntyre said that in all likelihood
an emergency will be proclaimed
and the advance notice of the spe
cial neanng be cut to three days.
The strong- intimation wa
given' that none of the tentative
pians submitted today by various
groups fully fit the ideas of the
administration and that it is
quite possible that the adminis
tration plan will be laid before the
committee tonight tor the mem
bers to shoot at.
What appeared absolutely set
tled is that an export plan is want
ed and wanted at once and every
element will he expected to do Its
part, even to American shlpplna-
eoncerns if they expect to handle

ing agreed that some export sub

west is to get its share In the ag
ricultural new deal and If an im
mediate crisis in the ' physical
handling ot the 1933 crop is to be
averted.

DETROIT,' lug. 21. (AP)
Herbert Hoover,; former president
of the United States; Is to he ask
ed to testify in the open grand
Jury investigation of the closing
of - Detroit's two big national
banks.
The decision to ask Mr. Hoover,
whowas president when Detroit's
banking difficulties came to a
crisis last February, to accept a
subpoena was reached a f t.e r
United States Senator James
Couzens had voiced a reauest for
the former president's testimony
Vwhlle giving evidence before the
jury today.
The two banks whose closing is
under investigation are the First
National bank, : Detroit and the
Guardian National Bank of Com
merce. .
Whether the former president
will be asked to come to Detroit
in person or make a deposition at
his home in Palo Alto has not
been decided. The first ' steps In
securing his testimony were taken
by Prosecutor Harry S. Toy and
Circuit Judge Harry B. Keidan,
who constitutes the one-man jury,
after a conference tonight.'
Senator Couzens' request for
Mr. Hoover's testimony was made
during his listing today of certain
unnamed persons who, he said.
had obtained loans from the
closed banks which they would
be unable to repay. While dis
cussing one such debtor he said:
There is one director who was
told by President Hoover' that I
was a very dangerous man, ... .
at this particular time I want to
urge the attorney general and the
prosecutor to Invite Mr. Hoover to
come here and tell what , a bad
man X am.".
Senator Couzens did not reveal
the name of the director to whom
ho was referring.
During his testimony before the
jury today Senator Couseni made
the declaration that the federal
government knew of "deplorable
conditions' in the First National
bank, Detroit, as early as May
1932.
