Old Age Pensions To
Cost Marion County
About $100,000 Yearly
An off-hand estimate that the old age pension law
which becomes effective January 1 will cost Marion county
$100,000 a year is made by County Judge Siegmund. This
is based largely on tne'numoer oi
applicants who have appeared be-
for tht court since tne last legis

their Intention of making formal
application to come under provi

Based in turn on the county
judge's estimate of the cost of the

little hope ahead that the county
tax cost will dwindle any at the
budget meeting later in the year but
rather there will be a sharp increase.
While the court at the last budget

HOG PROGRAM
PRICES FIXED
Chicago. Aug. 21 (P) The emer
gency hog program involving the
purchase of five million pigs and
sows by the federal government will
be inaugurated Wednesday in six
mlddlewestern markets, the agri
cultural adjustment administration
said today.
Purchases will be made in Chi
cago, Omaha, St. Paul, Sioux City,
Kansas City, and St. Joseph, Mo.
Farmers can follow the usual
procedure in sending their hogs to
the markets, it was explained, but
were cautioned not to sell so far
below the government's prices as to
allow exhorbitant handling fees for
the middlemen.
The Chicago stockyards was made
a basing point, and G. B. Thorn,
field representative of the corn and
hog section of the A. A. A., an
nounced the government would pay
the following prices:
Pigs weighing 25 to 30 pounds,
$9.50 cwt; 31-35 pounds, $9.25; 26
40 pounds, $9.00; 41-45 pounds, $8.75
46-50 pounds $8.50; 51-55 pounds,
$8,25; 56-60 pounds 8:00; 61-G5

85 pounds $6.75; 86-90 pounds $6.50;

TALK EMBARGO
ON FOREIGN OIL
Washington, Aug. 21 tfP) Pro
posals for an embargo or high tax
on foreign fats and oils which
compete with domestic products
were made today to farm admin
istration officials at a hearing call
ed to discuss the truobles of manu
facturers of milk by-products. .
Charles Holman, secretary of the
national cooperative milk produc
ers federation, said the butter sur
plus in this county was increasing
and that importation of foreign
fas and oils was a primary reason
for low prices for fluid milk and
butter.
He said the tax on butter f a tr,
was contemplated and that impor
ted fas and oils should "take their
share of whatever tax may have to
be levied."
At the outset of the hearing,
Clyde L. King, head of the farm
administration's milk section, said
the butter industry was on the
verge of "disaster" and the aim of
the farm administration was parity
prices for milk and Its by-products.
T. S. Kenan of the Atlanta Cot
ton Oil company, said the present
vegetable oil tariff schedule was
virtually worthless as a protection
to the dairy industry and other
manufacurers of domestic fats and
oil.
W. F. Jensen, secretary of the
American Association of Creamery
and Butter manufacturers, agreed
and said the domestic manufactur
ers not only should use oils and
fats produced in this country in
making edible food but also should
use only domestic oils and fats to
manufacture inedible products such
as soap.

Washington, Aug. 21 (P) Three
policemen who were placed at the
doors of the office of Hugh S. John

to avoid a passible demonstration by
Longshoremen from Baltimore, were
dismissed quickly after administra
tion officials heard of their presence.
Notified by department of justice
agents that a group described as
communists was en route from the
Baltimore wharves to present grle
vances to Johnson, police officials
put guards around the building and
sent sentries to Johnson s door.
They were there only a few min
utes, however, before Edward F.
McGarady. the assistant adminis
trator for labor, heard of it and or
dered them away. He then told
Johnson of the situation.
The guards remained at the en
trances to the commerce department
building, and it was agreed that if
Johnson was In his office when the
group arrived, he would receive
delegation of three. Otherwise, Mc-
Grady would hear them.
Police officials still were without
definite word as to when the dclega
tion would arrive.
Department of justice agents first
picked up the information the group
was coming from the Baltimore
wharves and was composed largely
of Longshoremen and other workers.
The special guard was requested
with intent of preventing the en
trance of the party into the com'

demonstration was planned.

WUKLU WHtAI
PARLEY OPENS
London, Aug. 21 (LP The world
wheat conference, opening today
with 31 producing and exporting
nations represented, made rapid
progress In its first session, and re
convened this afternoon practically
in agreement on procedure.
The conference accepted, with
some minor reservations by indi
vidual nations, the draft of a reso
lution which- will provide the basis
for its discussions.
The technical committee, repre
senting 10 of the leading countries
was empowered to meet again this
afternoon, concurrently with the
main body, to work out the import
ant details of what type of wheat
shall be used as the basis for world
recovery, and what market prices
Liverpool, Rotterdam, or Chicago-
shall be used as a basis for figures.
Complete harmony characterized
the morning's session, and the gen
eral disposition of tho delegates
was one of complete co-operation.
Some of the delegates announced
they were hampered by no instruc
tions. The British delegation raised the
only serious problem on the day's
agenda when it presented -the
theory that four exports must be
regulated in order to make wheat
restrictions effective.
At today's meeting the chief ex
porting countries submitted a draft
of an agreement to the importers.
The draft provided:
1. That importers would not do
anything to increase domestic pro
duction. 2. That they would do everything
possible to Increase consumption.
3. That substantial improvement
in the price of wheat would be fol
lowed by tariff adjustment.
4. That tariff reductions would be
accompanied by modifications of the
quota system which now limits im
ports into consuming countries.

The grand Jury went over the
head of the Tammany-controlled

tomorrow and its investigation will

WITH FLAX SOLD
William Einzig, secretary of the
board of control and state purchas

during which he sold more than
$35,000 worth of flax from the peni
tentiary plant.
Einzig made the trip upon au
thorization of the board and report
ed today he not only sold the 100
tons of flax on hand for 17 cents
a pound or about three cents more
than what has been obtained, but
he sold a carload of spinning tow
and opened markets to dispose of
the upholstery tow on hand at tha
penitentiary.
The flax was sold to the Linen
thread company in New York and
the spinning tow to a Boston firm,
Einzig said. He found it difficult
to sell tow but stated he made the
way clear for selling what Is now
on hand in the very near future.
Einzig also sent flax samples to a
uigaret paper manufacturer in an
attempt to interest the company in
using flax for papers. The com
pany promised to try the material.
The purchasing anent intimated
he would have some definite recom

at the penitentiary which would
change the procedure and manu

what these recommendations would
be.
