The Weather Forecast : Fair Sunday; nomewhat Ngps By PAIL MAI.LON. WASHINGTON. D. O, Aug. IT. Corn formerly gay and cocksure new dealers are not getting their custom w , wry eight hours of rest these Bights, worrying about the drouth policy. The people outside may not know it, but that problem offere the most serious political dlfflcul tlea yet encoun tered by the new deal. It might easily prove to be a disastrous Paul MaUon ahoal on which the whole Roosevel tlan theory of farm relief could run aground. ' This does not mean there Is any zeal danger of famine, rulnoua price gouging, or disastrously depleted farm purchasing power. Those things can and will be amply cared for. The danger Ilea In the means of taking tare of them. Right now, every Insider believes President Roosevelt will have to Im pose aome price-fixing restraints to keep protlteera and speculators from trying to run away with the show. As soon as he does, he must reverse the economlo and political theory on which the AAA has been running, or a least throw It out of gear. It waa popular In the farm belt to pay out money for cunauea acreage, as It boosted prices up. It will be de cidedly unpopular to stop the natural " price rise and tell the farmers who have crops that they cannot get any more than a certain rued price. This basic difficulty Is further em phasized by the fact that many farm ers outside the drouth areas are now ' ependlng their Idle evenings figuring up what they would have made it they had planted all their acreage thla year. in view of this, there la consider able private discussion as to whether the administration can even attempt an acreage curtailment program next ' year. If the government tried to sign T the farmera up for It today, you can well Imagine how far It would get. The tochnlque of any price-fixing atep Involves extreme dangers. The - new dealers have been called prac tically everything In the world, In cluding communists and socialists, but even the most liberal of them are sincerely against prlce-flxlng of any kind. The experience of the AAA (In milk, particularly) and the NRA (In the codes) proved that you might as well Invite a hive of bees Into your bouse as to try to fix prices. It Is not only well nigh Impossible to ar rive at a really fair price, but It Is certainly Impossible to enforce It after you arrive at It. The AAAera and the NHAera have been atung every time they attempt ed It, and both will lament for Presl- dent nooscvelt If he Is forced Into It. To make the political angle even worse the opposition Is now setting up a hue and cry that It waa wrong and unnatural to curtail the bounties of nature. At least one preacher emitted a eermon on that subject which reached the front pages. ' Such things may or may not be true, but a lot of political hay can be mowed out of that field. It explains quite adequately why the official announcements, state ments and speeches recently have been confined to generalities about stopping profiteering and about guar anteeing that no one will want for food. Also. It Is enough to keep a man up nights. Der Furore's henchmen have been sounding us out secretly about get ting government credits here. Appar ently, the Oermans believe they can arrange to get our aurplus govern ment cotton for a song, and we will furnish the music, while all we get Is the words. Certain foreign trade enthusiasts, who are not very close to the top here, have given the Germans unof flclsl encouragement In response to their unofficial requests. Hitler also Is known to be seeking credits In England, and la supposed to have met with more encourage ment there than here. The publicity men for our foreign trade enthusiasts will find It hard to y make German credits popular In this country now. There hse been no peace in the White House since Colonel Watson caught that fish. He la the military aide who went west with Secretaries Hows and Early to greet the presi dent. The three stopped at an inn In Oregon for a two-hour stay and Col. Watson decided to try for a salmon.

T Higher Prices For Staples Already Evident, Survey Shows President Eyes Profiteering Bright Side Seen By Some Observers. WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. UP) President Roosevelt has signed a proc lamation declaring an emergency and directing that Important duties be suspended so farmers In drought rtd den .areas may obtain enough feed to keep their livestock from starving. The proclamation, It was learned tonight, was signed on August 10 Just after the president made his transcontinental trip through the drought belt. Under the proclamation, treasury and agricultural officials are working on regulations specifying what com modities probsbly hay and oats may be Imported Into this country duty free. The regulations also would name the ports of entry and the countries from which the commodi ties could be imported. As soon as the regulations are agreed upon, It was said, they will be made public, along with the text of the presidential proclamation. The proclamation does not design the feedstuffs that may be Imported, but leave that to the secretary of the treasury. The proclamation ordering suspen sion of the duties uses authority granted by a little publicised section of the 1030 tariff act. KANSAS CITY. Aug. 18 (fl The drought has come to the city. The grocer and butcher are posting higher prices and predicting greater Increases. Seared farmlsnda of the west, struck by the worst growing conditions In weather bureau annals, offer the reason. A survey today disclosed the "ma terially higher" prlcea predicted for 1935 by Secretary Wallace already are evident in the areas that supply most of the nation's foodstuffs. Staff writers of the Associated Press Interviewed two score distributors, processors and department store man agers selected at random In drought stricken states. Many of the executives saw a bright side to the drought Its reduction of aurpuaes. as an ex ample. Nearly all forecast higher prlcea In the staples they market. Even where a blazing eun baa burn ed away the farmers' profits, aome of the business men said their sales were comparing favorably with 1833. "We don't look for things to go to pieces as they did In the worst or the depression," a Cheyenne, Wyo. distributor commented, at the ssme time pointing out commodity prices had firmed. While the department of agricul ture has announced "there will be plenty of food," the executive council of the American Federation of labor thla week expressed Itself as "gravely apprehensive" as to the effect of drought-influenced prices upon the urban working man. President Roosevelt has made It plsln he sees no reason for a sky high lncreaas In food prices. He In tends to halt any profiteering. "Meat prices, especially for quality cuts, are bound to go up," Robert M. Owthwaloe, Topeka. Kane., manager of a packing company, asserted. O. A Waldrlss, manager of a similar plant at Butte. Mont., ssld prices there nsd been "ruined" by the drought and re lief donations by the government. With farmera forced In many cases to haul water for their dairy herds, reall milk prlcea have advanced as much as 3 cents a quart In aome cities of the drought area. In addition, the agricultural adjustment administra tion has Invoked higher milk prices In many communities to bring better returns to the producer. Increased demand or higher prices for canned goods and cereals was shown in many states. Iowa's canning Industry waa reported In a 'deplor able condition" by Garth Carrier, of Vinton, canning company president. Edward Lehman of Wichita, Kas., declared ataple vegetables "probably will ahow an advance of about 33 1-3 per cent when the new crop has been canned." P. P. Whetstone. Oklahoma City wholesale dealer, reported a 13 per cent Increase In canned goods prices. Sam Aaher, Cheyenne, Wyo., noted "short deliver" from canneries. W. K. Brown.

STATEBYSOLONS Huey's Legislature Conveys Vast Powers Much Talk But Little Action Citi zenry Just Looks On. BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 18. (AP) Senator Huey P.

Referee In an Investigation of the hostile New Orleans government. Overlord of taxes. Dispenser of reprieves. Suppressor of gambling. Prosecutor of crime and dlsarmer of enemy police. . The powers were legally vested In Governor O. K. Allen, but Senator Long need only say "frog," and the governor "bops." An Important minority did a lot of talking during the session of "armed revolution," "bloodshed," "anarchy," and of general chaos and demoralization, but supposedly Irate farmers failed to arrive with pitch forks and shotguns "to set things right."

Semmes Walmsley, of New Orleans but everyday citizens Just at back and looked on curiously. There waa a lot of excitement in the leglslsture, what with fist flghta, slugging of newspaper photographera and exclusion of the press from pro ceedings, but none of these halted the swift approval of 37 bins wnicn the senator personally shot through both houses. ODnonents were successful in doing only one thing. Invoking a trick rule with 10 votes which barred senator Long from coming on the floor of the house to direct his measures per sonally. But this made slight Impression on the Louisiana "Kingflsn," who Issued his Instruments from outside Just the same. Behind the whole thing was the opposition of Mayor Walmsley to Long'a attempts to seize ' control of New Orleans. On July 80. Long's National Guardsmen broke Into the city reg Istratlon ofrice and took control. They were still there today to "pro tect" the list of voters. E E Michael F. Shannon.

'De-Person alize' Federal Industrial Control Next Step Gen eral To Take Vacation First. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. (AP) Hugh 8. Johnson will continue at NRA 'a helm for an Indefinite period "The president asked me to go right on." Johnson said today after a conference with Mr. Roosevelt. The presidential word was accepted as a command by the militant ad' mlnlstrator who for more than a year has personified the Blue Eagle to American Industry. Apparently the White House expression put a halt to Johnson's own desires for a quick return to private life. But If Johnson was disappointed at the thought of a longer tenure directing industry, hla smile on leav ing the White House didn't show it. He said he was ready to go ahead and reorganise NRA In a way to "de personalise." the government's Indus' trial machinery. "We are working out a reorgani sation plan," Johnson said. But Just now Johnson looks toward a vacation. He plans to leave next Wednesday with Mrs. Johnson for a nearby seaside resort and at Presi dent Roosevelt's direction take a rest. Board control of NRA la the reor ganisation plan being drafted by Johnson. He has announced his wil lingness, and today's White House meeting afc, ntly confirmed It, to act ss chairman of the board. Tbe board he has in mind prob ably will resemble the war Industries board on which he once served. Each of Its nine members were allotted a certain field of work and specialised in details of that field. But only the board as a whole could deter mine policies. Some skeptical eyebrows were rais ed at NRA at the thought of John son's "de-personalising" his Blue Eagle organisation through a board of which he would head. . A lot of hla co-workers couldn't quite conceive of Johnson serving as ths board's chairman without com' pletely dominating It with his force ful personality. This probably would be true If the board were com posed or experienced NRA personnel. 22 FELONS HURT PONTIAC, 111., Aug. 18.
