Puzzle Mulled
Over by Group
Domestic Allotment as
Stopgap, Permanent
Soil Scheme Eyed
Triple Threat Measure
Proposed by McNary
Is One of Many
(Conyrieht, 1938, by Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-iP)-A
composite administration farm
aid program utilizing domestic al
lotments as a stopgap and soil
conservation for permanent crop
control took shape tonight amid
growing dispute over the form
of AAA's successor.
Conferences of administration
leaders, it was reported authori
tatively, have centered on such a
plan, with a final decision defer
redpending tomorrow's confer
ence of 70 farm leaders summon
ed to the capital by Secretary
Wallace.
No Plan Accepted '
And None Discarded
The word given reporters after
a long White House conference
was that no proposal had, been
discarded, and none agreed upon.
Two senate republicans intro
duced concrete legislation, while
a senate democrat urged currency
expansion to support farm prices.
Other developments in the con
fusion which still surrounded
problems created by Monday's su
preme court decision included:
A farm organization . spokes
man's private assertion that two
.powerful farm groups would op
pose any plan for a constitution
al amendment.
A "three-way" farm bill intro
duced by Senator McNary oJUOse
gon, republican leader, calling for
export debenture, domestic allot
ment and equalization fee plans.
Retiring 50,000,000
Acres Is Proposed
. A bill by Senator Carey (R
Wyo) to provide for federal pur
chase or lease of 50,000,000 acres
retiring them from production.
A special meeting here of di
rectors of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation, urging payment
of amounts due on 1935 adjust
ment contracts, and collection
through new legislation of pro
cessing taxes impounded by courts
injunctions.
Under the domestic allotment
program, which could be swung
into operation with very little de
lay, the government would pay
farmers a cash subsidy on that
portion of their crops grown for
consumption in this - country.
There would be no restriction on
production.
Excise taxes on food products
possibly. corresponding to the in
validated, processing tax, might
be enacted to finance the pay
ments. Expansion of the present soil
. conservation program to take
sub-marginal and barren land out
"of cultivation of cash crops was
seen as a means of achieving
wheat production control might
be necessary.
ApplegateMan Is
Shot; Seek Bandit
MEDFORD, Ore., Jan. 9-)-State
police reported tonight a
holdup man, described as "young
and slender," shot and seriously
wounded John Pernoll, 70, store
keeper at Applegate, on a high

city.
All roads were blocked and a
posse of SO men, led by state po
lice, was organized to search for
the attacker. "
Police said the bandit accosted
Pernoll as the latter was enroute
from the store to his home near
by. Pernoll is the father of Jud
Pernoll of Grants" Pass, former
big-league baseball pitcher.

Spring Water for
Salem Suggested
Gardner of Stayton Says
Adequate Supply Is
Available There
A proposal which A. D. Gard
ner, sr., of Stayton believes to be
an easy solution of Salem's de
mand for mountain water has
been submitted to city officials
here. He Buggests a gravity pipe
line be extended from Salem to an
island in the North Santiam river
about four miles above Stayton
and there fed by an underground
water supply which Gardner be
lieves would prove equal to pure
spring water.
The island intake site would
provide a fall of about 375 feet
to downtown Salem, or of approx
imately 215 feet to the Falrmount
hill reservoir site, Gardner says.
It would tap a supply of water
whose use by Salem consumers
would not affect the river rights
held by Gardner. The water com
mission at its meeting last Fri
day night received a protest from

the testimony of Claud Hults, 19,

Law Supported by Most

Negro Held at Vancouver
Not Definitely Linked

A negro burglary suspect held
by Vancouver, Wash., police, was

but not definitely identified as
the man, believed to be a negro,
sought in connection with the
long list of "pants Pocket" burg
laries which occurred here during
the fall and early winter.
Edwards declared last night
that the Vancouver negro carried
markings on his shins indicating
they had been badly scraped some
weeks ago. A burglar who invad

clothing in a closet, stumbled
over a saw horse in the backyard

"If they do fight, you'll be thank

Will Absorb Japan
Japan is going to take all of
China, Anderson maintained "and
then China will swallow Japan
like a sponge absorbs water and
Japan will be put back on its

A European war may be avert
