able Crop Holding
Chicago yP) A $100,000,000 fund
Saturday was placed at the disposal
of the American wheat farmer to be
loaned out by the federal farm
board through the newly organized
farmers' national grain corporation.
Climaxing its session here this
week, the farm board, through its
chairman Alexander Legge, an
nounced its plans for making im
mediately available this fund to aid
wheat farmers who Mr. Legge said
at present were getting too low a
price for their grain. Under this
plan, the grain farmers will be able
to hold back their crop until pices
were more satisfactory in the mean
time borrowing from the national
grain corporation for funds needed
to meet obligations.
The board, Mr. Legge's statement
said, placed no limit on the amount
of money the government would loan
to the wheat farmers. He said near
ly $100,000,000 was available now and
If necessary the board would ask
congress to appropriate more.

SOUTH RULED
BY TERRORISM
Memphis, Term. (LP) Civil govern

tn an exclusive interview with the
United Press here Saturday.
Neal at the same tune made public
through the United Press exclusively,
a letter to Burton K. Wheeler, Unit
ed States senator, Montana, In
which he asserted the workers "have
been denied every civil right guar
anteed them by the constitution of
the United States and the constitu

The letter, Neal said, was written
Senator Wheeler so the senator
might have all the facts in fighting
for a senatorial investigation of
conditions in the textile district of
