WASHINGTON. I) r. no
The administration's farm
lief program will be broadened to
uroviao ior ome machinery for
handling surplus crops.
Just what form thin new nM ,iit
lake has not been determined, but
both President Coolidge and Sec
retory Jardlne have reached the
conclusion that surplus crops pres
ent one of the dominating prob
lems of agriculture, and that some
governmental step must be taken
to afford relief.
Tremendous pressure has been
brought to bear reeentlv nn ihn
administration by the congression
al iurm dioc ana western agricul
ture leaders to create a federal
commission with powers to direct
the disposition of surplus farm
crops in a way that would enable
the producers to at least get the
cost of production.
President Taltee Stand
Heretofore the White House has
been silent oh the subject, but to
day after the president had con
ferred with Secretary Jardlne,
which .was the culmination of a
series of conferences between the
two, it was disclosed that the ad
ministration was prepared to en
dorse conservative legislation fos
tering the sale of surplus crops ln
the export trade with a govern.
ment commission as a directing
agency.
The Issue was brought to a head i
today a few hours before the de
parture for Des Moines of the
Iowa congressional delegation,
members of which were invited to
attend a meeting there of farmers
and bankers to discuss means of
marketing the surplus corn crop.
Represeniative Dickinson, Re
publican. Iowa, talked with Secre
tary JarJine betoro he left and It
is understood that the agricultural
Beoretary, who had come direct
from the White House, authorized
the Iowa representative to tell the
farmers of that siate that the ad
ministration sympathized with
their diffioulties and was prepared
10 support some measure - lor
handling the surplus croDS nrovld-
ea u aia not put tne golvernment
m a business and fix farm prices.
Advice to Bo Asked
Secretary Jardlne. in lavincr the
foundation for the bill, plans to
follow the same course he pur
sued in preparing the co-operative
marketing bill when he called ln
co-operative leaders for advice. He
will invite farm lea'ders over the
country to otter suggestions.
At present the secretary believes
that surplus crops can be handled
through the co-operative market-
ing system w,th a government
commission as a guiding hand. He
is giving consideration to. tne pro
posal to empower such a commis
sion to declare "emergency per
iods," when some particular farm
crop 1b under pressure and to des
ignate some agency to handle it.

HERO OF DISASTER HELD FOR

SlRlitsecra Ruin Farm, Says flam.
ary, Who Is Found In Bed Wltb
Still by Ilia Sido
(By Tha Associated Press)
BELLBVUB, Ohio, Deo. 28.
How the wrecking of the navy
dirigible Shenandoah on his farm
near Ava, Ohio, last September,
resulted ln ruin of his farm and
drove him to bootlegging, is the
story Andy Gamary Is prepared
to tell tho Noble county grand Jury.
Gamary, one of tho first heroes of
the disaster Is now ln Jail await
ing grand Jury action, having been
recently arrested a third time for
manufacturing liquor.
Contradicting stories published
after the wreck that Gamary and
other farmers of the neighborhood
would become rich by collections
from sightseers and by compensa
tion paid by the government, Gam
ary says the accident ruined him.
When the wreck took ' place,
Andy relates, he had a nice Uttle
truck garden all ready for har
vesting. . . . .
What was not destroyed by the
wreckage was trampled by the
sightseers and his well drained
bone dry on the day of the wrack,
still remains dusty. So he says he
was forced to seek another occu
pation. When officers raided Gamary
place the last time they found him
ln bed and for safe keeping he had
taken his still to bed with him. -
