P) The National Grange announced to day a 14-point "platform for agriculture which National Master Louis Tabcr said was "one behind which every group of farmers and Americans could rally to solve the problems of agriculture. The platform, drafted by the executive committee after the Grange's recent convention in Peoria, 111., outlined these prob lems: 1 Give to agriculture its fair share of the national In come so that it may be raised to equality with other groups. 2 Insist that the farm pro gram be administered by farm ers, with compensatory pay ments to tide them over the emergency while farm prices are below parity; all payments to be made in the year earned, not contingent upon compliance in future years, and not to be used as a means toward com pulsory crop control. 3 Speed national recovery by taking the shackles off busi ness, by increasing employment . and reducing the relief burden. 4 Recognize as fundamental the right of the American form ers to the American market up to the limit of his ability to supply it. S Close the doors to Imports of foreign farm products which are injuries to American agri culture, and which help to re duce its purchasing power, by (a) divorcing foreign trade from politics. G Keep America out of for eign wars by building and main taining adequate national de fense; conscripting wealth and Industry as well as man-power in time of war; remaining free from entangling foreign alli ances; recognizing that war may bring dictatorial powers of gov ernment which may mean the end of democracy and Indi vidual liberty. 7 Develop a sound rural credit program by (a) estab lishing the farm credit admin istration as an independent agency under supervision of a bi-partisan board. 8 Recognize that adequate transportation facilities are in dispensable to the welfare of the nation. Railroad regula tion should be liberalized. 9 Base tradition on benefits received and ability to pay, and insist upon ecenomy and effici ency in all branches of gov ernment. 10 Develop better markets for farm products by encourag ing sound cooperative market ing; removing unnecessary trade barriers between states; oppos ing discriminatory and punitive taxation on any form of distri bution; research to find new crops and new use for farm products. 11 Maintain the famlly-sizcd farm as the standard of Ameri can agriculture and discourage large-sized corporation farming. 12 Continue soil conserva tion as a part of a permanent program for better use of land, but not as a means of crop control. 13 Promote a belter and more satisfactory rural life through development of edu cational facilites, good roads and rural electrification. 14 Foster the American spirit of self-help in solving our problems. !' Washington. Nov. 27. dV) Senator Krazier (R.-N.D.) said Senator MrNnry (It Ore l would receive strong support from agricultural states if he divided to actively seek the Republican presidential nominal Inn. "Senator McNary has shown the most interest in agriculture of any of those who appear likely now to be presidential candidates," Frazier said in an Interview. "That's what I'm in terested In." "Senator McNary has been a staunch supporter of agriculture throughout his career in con gress. If the McNnry-llaugen bill had become law in the Cool id ge administration the! farm situation would have bien far better tlinn it Is today. "Senator McNnry would be strong throughout the middle west and the west, In my opinion." Frazier said he believed Sen ator Vandenherg (II. Mk-h.l. an other Republican presidential possibility, also could command considerable support in agri cultural states. if i . A -1.L Ufa .f A i Cs- ..

Weir, steel producer, today de scribed the current business up turn as unsound and declared permanent recovery was prc-i mntrtA tirnjAmmnnt enonrlini' and the effect of new deal "theories" on business. The present hign level of busi ness activity, the chairman of the National Steel Corporation said in an address prepared for the Economic club of Detroit, has resulted largely from antici pation of war buying from Eur ope. Permanent recovery, he said, depends upon sustained high volume of private investment in productive enterprise, and low profits in recent years have cut off this investment, lie asserted heavy taxation and the disrup tion of business by new regula tion and controls of government were responsible for low profits and business losses. He declared the "new deal master minds are concentrating on ways and means to increase the national income" in an effort to avoid increasing taxes in an election year to avoid curtailing expenditures. For that reason, ho said, "ex periments are being soft pedaled; mysterious submarines have taken the place of economic royalists as threats to the na tional welfare, and according to Washington observers, plans are being made to give business 'a Ihot in the arm' if there is any sign of contraction in the rate of business activity." TRADE AGREEMENT TREATIES RAPPED Washington, Nov. 27. (IP) A bitter denunciation of the whole reciprocal trade agree ments program was heard to day by the committee for re ciprocity information as it open ed hearings on a proposed trade pad with Chile. Senator Johnson (D., Colo.) told the committee that because of the "most favored nation" principle incorporated in the trade agreements act requiring concessions granted one nation to be extended automatically to every other nation, the law amounted to nothing more than "an insidious formula for break ing down our tariff walls." "If the Smoot llawley tariff act of l!):tO needs overhauling," said Johnson, "it should be done directly in a constitutional way by the congress and not through a sniping process under the guise of good neighborliness." SUB-POSTOFFICE QUARTERSRENTED Postmaster Frank DeSouza said today he had received au thorization from Washington, D. C, to rent quarters at 38 North Holly street to use as an annex in handling Christinas mail dur ing the two weeks preceding the holiday. The annex will be used solely as a depot from which parcels will be delivered, Mr. DeSouza explained in emphasizing that there will be 110 need of the public calling at the annex. Use uf tiie annex will relieve con gestion at the central office. "' TO' f3c POLITICS BLAMED FOR KUHN TRIAL New York, Nov. 21. (IP) Fritz Kuhn's counsel today reit erated his charge politics was behind the prosecution of the German-American bund leader on larceny and forgery charges. Summing up at Kuhn s trial, after L. E. Sabbatino declared the case was not a routine mat ter as the district attorneys' of fice contended, but one in which "the motivating force was poli tics." Before argument started Judge James G. Wallace announced he would allow the jury to take the case on five counts of the orig inal ten-count indictment and after he had dismissed 32 mo tions for a mistrial, based on var ious grounds. Arguing against the district attorney's statement that the case was "routine," Sabbatino pointed out to the jury that As sistant District Attorney Herman J. McCarthy made two trips to Florida merely to interview Mrs. Florence Camp, whom Kuhn had called his "golden angel" in love letters. Kuhn is accused of stealing $1,217 from the bund treasury, $717 of which was used to pay the furniture-moving expenses of Mrs. Camp, according to the state. The remaining $500, the prosecution charges, was listed in bund financial records as paid to James D. C. Murray, lawyer, who denied he ever received the money. Bund members, Sabbatino re marked, had testified that Kuhn had a right to "throw the money down a sewer or buy a race horse if he wanted to," and had supported his claims of inno cence. TL ON TAXES, AHEAD Washington, Nov. 27. (IP) Secretary Morgenthau said to day the treasury would borrow $500,000,000 tomorrow in the first major financing in a year. Because of the deficit, which has amounted to more than $1,000,000,000 so far this fiscal year, Morgenthau said the treas ury would sell $500,000:000 of two percent treasury bonds ma turing from 1948 to 1950. The financing, added to the present federal debt of $41,288, 000,000, will bring the treasury closer to $45,000,000,000 debt limit but Morgenthau said he was "not worried'' because con gress "has got to do something if the boys are going to eat." He said this meant that if ap propriations continued to run ahead of revenues, congress had to vote new taxes or authorize a higher debt limit. President Roosevelt said last week that he wanted the people to think about whether a proposed $500. 000.000 in national defense ex penditures should be financed by borrowing or by a special tax.

(IP) Senator Taft of Ohio, willing to run for president if enough Republicans want him, has been making speeches through the farm belt which help to throw some light toward the misty recesses of the next campaign. He discloses , some of the strategical high spots on which the Republicans are likely to take their stand. Although Jie differs from Senator Vandenberg of Michi gan and some other Republicans on the best way of keeping out of the European war, Taft joints them in saying: "The welfare of this country and its people depends on keep ing out of the European war. and the people are determined that we shall do so. On that issue, the Republicans occupy the strong position. They are the peace party." He says President Roosevelt has expressed the same deter mination, but the Democratic party, what with the experi ence of President Wilson, has a bad record in that respect. This is a statement that will be heard from all sorts of Re publican sources during the next 11 months. Taft smacks down, too, on unemployment and unbalanced budgets, two familiar themes which arc destined to become even more familiar. For months, the Republican national committee has been drumming away at these in its publicity. Each item in the weekly clipsheet which it sends to newspapers is separated bv the line: "For a job vote G.6. P." Each clipsheet reports the status of federal finances, the total of the federal debt, and the per capita share of that debt. FACE LINDY LAW Seattle, Nov. 27. (IP) Two young men, who confessed the abduction and attack of a 17 year old girl, were charged with first degree kidnaping in super ior court today. The charge calls for the death penalty or life imprisonment upon conviction. Prosecutor's Deputy Charles C. Ralls said the men, Eugene Weaver, 19 and Raymond Fru cha, 24, confessed they abducted and attacked the school girl last Relief At Last For Your Cough Even If other medicines have fail ed you may get relief now with Crcoinulslon.
