any Senate action on the bill be

Washington, March 17- — (AP) —
Seven farm organizations joined to
day in a statement demanding im
mediate action on the President’s farm
aid program, and warning Congress
that “delay will be fatal.”
It was issued as the Senate and
House Agriculture Committees studied
the broad relief measure proposed by
President Roosevelt. Both hope to
have the b*ll before their respective

The brief statement addressed to
the two committees, said:

“purely selfish but economically sound
—it is simply control the supply and
the price will take care of itself.”
“America is ready for the upswing
toward prosperity,” he said in an in
terview. “Banking (conditions are
where they belong, and we’re ready
to start.
“But if prosperity returned tomor
row, we wouldn’t be able to keep it.
Good times would put every manu

Raleigh, March 17. —Regardless of
what the House does with the ap

whether it adopts the figures in the
Cherry-Bowie compromise bill or
those some where between that and
the committee bill, as now seems like
ly—the bill will eventually be rewrit

agreed here today. Present indications
are that ihe Senat will reject any ap
propriations bill passed by the House
that does not make provision for an
eight months school term. And there
is nothing right now to indicate that
the House is even going to consider
an eight months school term.
As a result, when the House finally
completes its consideration of the pre

when finally passed by the House will
conform more nearly to the Cherry-
Bowie bill than the committee bill,
it is indicated —it will not be accept

Frequent;
Mukden. Manchuria, March 17.
(AP) —Fifty passengers were killed
and more than 70 others injured last
midnight when a freight train crash
ed into the rear end of a passenger
train between Changchiatun and
Supingkai.
The passenger train had been de
layed by a parial derailment. The ma
jority of the victims were Chinese.
The rest were Japanese.
The freighter was eastbound from
Changchiatun for Liayuan, which is
less than 100 miles east of the north
ern Jehol border, and about the same
distance north of here.
Since the Japanese military occupa
tion of Manchuria there have been
numerous cases of depredation on the
railroad lines bl'ameu on the roving
Chinese bands which refuse alleg
iance to the state of Manchukuo.
The tearing up of tracks near Muk
den, allegedly by Chinese, was the
act which set in motion the Japanese
invasion September 8, 1931. This was
on the Southern Manchurian railway,
the only railroad owned by the Jap
anese in the territory at that time.
