LOWER GOODS1
PRICES URGED
BY SEpARY:
WASHINGTON, March 11 WFV- j
A auggestton by Secretary Wallace
that factories should turn out 50 per
amt more goods at -definitely low
«r” prices dropped Thursday into
the debate over future industrial
wcovery policies. Wallace said these
chapter goods would be a great help
to fanners, lor whom crop reduction*
have about reached their maximum
benefits.
Moreover, he insisted to a house
appropriations subcommittee during
hearings on the agriculture depart
ment’s 1936 supply bill, an increase
of 30 or 40 per cent “in the output
of physical goods in the cities” is a
prerequisite “to getting the entire
country in better condition.**
Benefit to
“U m some way it were possible
to turn out 50 per cent more indus
trial good* at a price deiemteiy
lower than the present price, ' he
saia. “the result would be to give
a very material beneut to agricul
ture, to make it possible lor agri
culture to Duy more with the agricul
tural dollar; and there would be
more factory workers to be led In
the cities.''
“What methods should be used to
bring about that increase is cer
tainly not for me to say,” the secre
tary declared.
He also asserted:
“We have reached the conclusion
that further action along the line
or reducing production will not
ritely increase the farmers share
the national Income."
“Are we to understand," asked
Chairman Cannon (D-Mo), -that
from this time on these methods may
be expected to prove ineffective;
that farm prices will go no higher;
that we are not to reach parity?"
“Well." Wallace replied, "there
may be necessary a continuation oi
control But to carry the reduction
below the present point would begin
to reduce the quantity of stuff avail
able for the people here inside this
country. That is not true in the case
of cotton, but. generally speaking,
we aay that a reduction In produc
tion below that of this past year,
when, of course, the drought had a
very great effect, would not serve to
Increase the farmer's share In the
national income.
**We have reached the conclusion,
therefore, that it is exceedingly im
portant, from the standpoint of giv
ing a greater income to agriculture
that there should be definitely an
Increased output on the part of in
dustry. ••• But it la also essential in
turning out an increased quantity
of goods that the price be such a price
as will move the Roods."
The secretary explained that the
farm program was an attempt to at
tain parity prices but that “with the
powers as now existing, it is doubtful
if you could use a processing tax
fully and attain parity, for the
closer you get to parity, the smaller
the processing tax is and. therefore,
the less Incentive you can give the
farmer to hold down production." He
agreed the tax must be supplement
ed In order to attain complete par
ity.
Predicting that "by next summer
the price of meat animals will be so
high that there will be great outcry
on the part of the population in the
cities." Wallace acknowledged that
•ven his "ever normal granary” pro
gram would not give “the very great
result you hope for" of stabilised
farm prices.

To Talk Himself to Death
WASHINGTON, March
Matching threat for threat in a
struggle that strained nerves to
the snapping point, senators seek
ing action on the $4,880,000,000 work
and relief hill sought Thursday to
lemove the obstacle of Huey Long's
filibustering tactics.
Talk of night-and-day sessions to
smash the Kingfish’s strategy or of
a drastic ‘cloture” rule which would
limit debate and thus stop him
from talking was heard.
The Louisiana senator was play
ing for time because, he charged,
there was an undercover movement
to prevent the votes of two absent
and ailing senators—Hattie Cara
way of Arkansas and John H. Over
ton of Louisiana—from being count
ed in favor of the McCarran pre
vailing wage amendment, bitterly
opposed by the Roosevelt adminis
tration.
Long was seeking "pairs” for the
two sick legislators so their votes
could offset the votes of two sena
tors favoring the administration’s
plan of ‘security wages” of about
$50 a month. He was unable to find
anyone to pair up.
Threatening Thursday to talk
"until some other senators get sick,”
he said:

on an east-west transcontinental
survey line and will later move to
Memphis. Texas, for a continuation
of their work.
The survey line was begun in
North Dakota last September and
occupied the time of nearly 100
men. Their equipment for the sur
very work, as well as camping
equipment, necessitated the use of
48 trucks.
Surveyors relocated three posts
established by Bilby and another
survey party in McAllen and Mis
sion in 1917 and based their pres
ent survey on those points. The
completed line will appear on ge
odetic maps and will be used as a
base for establishment of highway,
railway and aerial routes as well as
property lines on many other i
maps The line is mathematically
accurate, a recheck on one 450-mile
section of the line Just completed
showing an error of only 9-16 of
one Inch.
The survey expects to establish
similar lines 25 miles apart from
the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts
eventually and other lines will be
run east-to.west between both sea
coasts.

PLANE TESTS
HOLDSECRET
OAKLAND. Callt., March 14. OP)—
More fllghU were planned Thurs
day to gixxyn the government'! new
radio-compass plane for a daah to
Honolulu, first lap in a proposed
commercial air route across the
Pacific.
The sleek, twin-motored
craft, which soared twice out over
the Pacific Wednesday, was expect*
ed to take off for further teats of
its newly-designed radio direction
finder—described by department of
commerce officials as the “key-stone
of a system of air navigation over
water.”
How soon the flight to Honolulu
would be made remained a secret
as did most of the results of the
tests. Eugene Vidal. Commerce De
partment aeronautics expert, said
nowever, the trip to Honolulu was
planned eventually.

miles out to sea. described the test
as satisfactory" but declined to
disclose details of the compass He
said it was invented by Jeffery

Wright Field, Dayton. O. Another
flight of some 3 0 miles was made
later in the day.

pert, who left Wednesday night for
