I Adivs I BREMERTON MAN
. By PACL MALLON
(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, D. 0., April S8 The
three little pigs and all tholr kin are
no Joke to the brain men In the AAA.
There Is ome
talk now that the
government may
,cxnd out reducing
machlnea or mas
seurs to make tn
pigs of the country
keep their llgures
within reason. At
any rate, the pig
poundage problem
Is getting weighty.
The AAA has
now loaned the
farmers 45 cents a
I4C-UCX
Faul Mallon
l -
bushel on approximately 262.000,000
bushels of last year's corn. This hog
fattenlng food has been put under
seal In corn-cribs on farms. The loan
contracts provide that the farmers
shall pay . the government back
August 1.
But pig-caviar Is now selling for
about 46 cents a bushel In an unsatis
factory market.
The market would be revived If the
sealed surplus were released either to
. the public or the dieting pigs August
1 or any time.
What to do?
. The AAA Is saying nothing about It
yet. Its master mentalities are be
ginning to appreciate, however, that
they have worked themselves Into
something like the mess of Mr.
Hoover's larm board.
The farmers havo on hand, un
sealed, about 570.000,000 bushels,
which will provide the curtailed diet
of the pigs until August 1. Then this
year's corn crop will be available.
Half the Insiders are Inclined to do
what Brazil did with her surplus cof
fee not long ago. They would make
bonfires out of It, or toss it in the
ocean anything toKcc'p'tt away from
the pigs. It would cost the govern
ment around 1 17,000,000, but that
probably would be the cheapest way
out.
It only goes to show the trouble
you get into when you start regi
mentation of the girth of pigs. Also
what happens when the government
starts "lending" money to Its citizens.
The new corn-hog checks have Just
started going out to mid-western pro
ducers. That means strong stimula
tion of purchasing power in that sec
tion the next few months.
These payments are for acreage cur
tailment and have nothing to do with
the loana on last yenr'a crop.
The only connection Is that the
farmers who got the loans last year
agreed In their contracts to curtail
their acreage this year.
The house leaders fumed when a
conservative press association recently
carried a yarn Indicating Mr. Roose
velt might get somo new leaders for
the next session of congress. .
What hurt was that the story was
true, despite all the denials and con
fusion subsequently stirred up.
The story was Inspired by persons
very close to the White House. For
some weeks they have been groaning
backstage about the clumsiness with
which the house has handled aominis.
tration business.
The leaders know where the story
came from and one was so worried he
went to the white House to ascertain
how he stood. When he came away
he appeared somewhat glum, at least
not exactly happy.
As usual, the leaders tried to blame
tv, ftfrtrv entlrelv on the newspspers,
ss If any news man would sit around
and dream such stuir. Regardless oi
how the White House Itself feels, there
i. nn.MrihlA nnrtlon of the In
side administration crowd dissatisfied
with the way congressional arrairs
have been eolng.
There, probably will be no change
In leadership. Tns Kooscveit iora
hsrdly will go to the extent of con
V Huffing an nnfn reorganization. The
Immediate effect will be to stimulate
White House support In the house.
( That result was first noticeable in
the rejection of the McLeod bank de-
nn1t hill .
Th house leaders nhensgled 38
Democrat sponsoring the bill Into
changing their position before the
roll was called. These switches
blocked the measure.
It shows what the existing house
leadership can do when It really sets
Its mind to Its business.,
An organized movement against the
American Legion lobby has been
started In New York as a result of the
veterans' restorations. As a matter
of fact, the work of the Legion lobby
on the Inside was to restrain the
house veterans' bloc, which wanted
to grant even larger restorations. The
leclon did not have to do much lob
bying on that bill.

Anonymous Letter Brings
Startling Turn in Probe of
Mass Murder Ransom
Money Turns Up, Is Claim
BREMERTON, Wash., April 26. (X)
An anonymous letter sent from St.
Johns, N. B., to Bremerton police, de
claring "Eugene Chenevert was bump.
ed off because he had knowledge of
the Lindbergh kidnaping," entered the
Bremerton mass murder case today.
The letter said that Chenevert, one
of six persons slaughtered In a house
near Bremerton sometime during the
last week of March, was- acquainted
with a Boston, gangster and "knew
something" about the Lindbergh kid
naping.
BOSTON, April 28: Pi The Bos
ton Globe says that a large quantity
of the money which. Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh paid, to the kidnapers
of his lS-months-old child, who later
was found dead, has been recovered
In New England. The amount re
covered totals more than half of the
950,000 paid, and was found In blocks
of $4,000 and 95,000, the Globe says
The Globe relates that a squad of
31 agents of the department of Jus
tice, heavily armed, visited Rutland.
Vt., yesterday and began "drawing ft
dragnet" In that vicinity. . The agents,
the paper says, moved secretly in
small . groups and left Boston yes
terday afternoon and last night un
der orders of Clarence D. McKean,
chief or the bureau of Investigation
or the department of Justice In New
England.
The money, the Globe says, was
traced through the Federal Reserve
bank of Boston to the member bank
which received It.
Officials of the Federal Reserve
bank and of the local offices of tho
department of Justice declined to
comment on the report.
The Globe says the clue that sent
the Justice agents scurrying into Ver
mont resulted from the tracing of
large quantities of- the . Lindbergh
money which has been passed In New
England for the past six months,
. The agents, the paper aaid, began
drifting into Boston In small groups

his friend of many years, and Theo

No Need for Night Work
There was little possibility Judge
Fred W. Wilson would have to carry
out his Intention of holding a night
session. The Judge said his own In
structions would take approximately
an hour.
Roberts, attacking the state's charge
of first degree murder, said the case
of the state was broken by the lack
of premeditation on the part of the
defendant. He described Manning's
actions of February 12 as normal and
there was never an Interruption In
his friendly feeling toward his for

"The state has only a chain of cir
cumstantial evidence,' he said, "and
If a single link Is broken then the
case falls."

FIVE SENTENCED
BY JUDGE NORTON
ON GUILTY PLEAS
Tears flowed freely In circuit court
this morning, as five defendants ap
peared for sentence before Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton, on pleas of guilty
to charges.
Joyce Helms, 16, a Reno' bride of
last month; who plead guilty to- tho
theft of wearing apparel from the
apartment of Mrs. William Heath,
this city, was granted a six months'
suspended sentence with the condi
tion that her husband, Addison Helms
of Ashland, pay for the articles ap
propriated. Mrs. Helms was arrested In Ban
Francisco a month ago and returned
here.
Harvey Steldt, charged with forgery,
wccplngly pleaded with the court for
a parole and chance "to rehabilitate
myself." The court Imposed a two
year sentence In the state peniten
tiary with the promise he would
recommend a parole and special medi
cal treatment. The court said "the
term Is for your own good, and the
good of society." Attorney M. O.
Wllkins, counsel for Steldt, also
pleaded that steldt be given leniency
on the grounds of his physical and
mental condition due to worry over
his health, undermined by a malig
nant ailment.
Steldt, during his six months' con
finement, made suicide attempts and
a dash for liberty.
John V. Matney, charged with the
Issuance of bad checks in small
amounts and who a year ago received
a suspended sentence for the same
offense, received further considera
tion and was granted another sus
pended sentence, "solely on account
of your mother, who has made good
your defalcations." Matney blamed
his forgeries upon drink, and the
court adviscdhlm to "cut out boo7e.'
