(Copyrichted by Associated Press)
Washington, Aug 7 (AP)—A gigan
tic crop control plan which would
leave control of 1935 supplies in the
hands of farmers who grow them ia
natching in the Farm Administration.
Modeled after this year’s corn and
coton loans, the plan will call for gov
ernment loans on a wide range of oth
er crops. There will be a stipulation
that supplies must be sold when pric
es rise to a certain point.
Last year the government advanced
farmers ten cents a pound on store
cotton and 15 cents a bushel on corn
sealed In cribs or warehouses. This
uegged prices at those levels and of
fi’his say the plan was a success.
As prices advanced beyond those
levels recently, farmers begon seM
ing crops, paying off loans and mak
ing a profit for themselves. The far
mer was continuously assured of
fho*e prices and the government was
sure of recouping its investment as
hug as the prices stayed at or above
loan values.
In the case of cotton, the plan said
i f must be sold when the price reached
15 cents. This, officials said, prevents
the price from risiner too far. since

reaches that point will tend toward
The Farm Administration declares

their crops instead of selling at har

Vienna, Aug. 7 (AP)—The gallows
erected by the late Chancellor Dollfuss
in his campaign against Nazi terro
rism killed the first regular army sol
dier today when Ernst Feike, who
participated in the Nazi putsch that
resulted in the assassination of the
chancellor, was hanged for high trea
son.
Another death sentence was pro
nounced by a courtmartlal at Klacke
furt against Karl Kosterlnig, another
Nazi, but the sentence was commuted
to 15 years imprisonment.
Others in the ranks of the Nazi
conspirators who have been hanged
also came from the army, but they
had been dismissed from active serv
ice months previously because of theii'
politica lleanings.
Into Feike’s testimony was brought
the name of Emil Fey, the minister
of security, who was present at Doll
fuss' death. The court rejected the
defense council’s demand for a hear
ing by the new chancellor, Kurt Sch
uschnigg as to whether safe conduct
had been granted to Dollfuss’ asas
sins.
When the death sentence was pro
nounced, Feike raised his arm in a
Nazi salute and cried,
“Heil Hitler!”
He was pulled back to his bench by
a guard.

IMPRACTICAL PLAN
Meteorologist Thinks Mid-

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Aug. 7. (CP)—Presi
dent Roosevelt’s plan for a 100-mile
wide forest from the Mexican border
to the Great Lakes sounds beautiful,
hear it described; it looks loely, to see
it mapped.
But will it accomplish what it is as
serted that it will accomplish?
For that matter, will the trees
grow?
Herbert Janvrin Browne, whom I
believe to be America’s foremost
meteorologist, speaks pessimistically
of the scheme.
“There’s a Japanese elm,” he says,
“which thrives on the soil and climate
about as far north as Amarillo, Tex.
Cottonwood and willow do well in the
valleys, along the banks of streams,
but languish on the open prairies. The

Tannen'berg, Germany, Aug. 7. (ZP) —.
Germany buried Paul von Hindenburg
in a shrine it holds sacred today aft
er Adolf Hitler, in an emotional
eulogy at the bier, said the late presi
dent ‘opened ‘the door” to Nazi-ism.
Brief and simple was the funeral,
as the old warrior-statesman had
wished, but thousands of uniform*
gave it a military at mosphere.
The body of the 86-year-old leader
was placed to rest in on e of the tow
ers of the national war monument,
erected on the sceNe of von Hinden
burg’s great triumph over the Rus
sian army in 1914.
Thousands of mourners were turn
ed away, but the entir e nation paused
during the funeral hour in a farewell
tribute to its revered leadr.
Hitler, as on yesterday at a me
morial service of the Reichstag, eu
logized in glowing terms the man
whose power he took over, but he fail
ed to give the exected indication of
his future policies.
Von Hindenburg, said Hitler, his
voice’trembling with emotion, “opened
the door to th e representatives” of
German resurgence, referring to his
national socialist partq.
Diplomats and high government of
ficials were amongthose seated in the
black-draped court of the memorial.
Everywhere were seen the uniforms
of various army detachments.
The coffin was placed in front of a
slender tall cross of bronze. Hitler
and the Rev. Mr. Dohrmann, von Hin
denburg's army chaplain, wehe the
only speakers.
Just before the ceremony, airplanes
circled slowly over the scene, crowd
ed by tens upon tens of thousands of
people. Shortly before 8 a. m., three
hours before the start of the ceremony
th wide court of the national me
morial was nearly tilled.
At the conclusion of the brief but
inspiring service, the body was taken
reverently to von Hindenburg’s tow
er, where it will remain during the
morning period. Afterward a perman
ent mausclem will be built in the
tower.
