After considerable research work, Congressman Griswold o f Wisconsin ""iliet week brought to the attention of Congress some interesting figures re­ garding farm subsidy and benefit pay­ ments. The Wisconsin Congressman | carefully compiled from Federal ag- ' ricuUural records the appraised values o f all farms in the various states and the amounts o f farm subsidies or bene­ fits paid each state. The figures show­ ed, that Mississippi farmers had re­ ceived back in benefit or subsidy pay­ ments under the New Deal twenty-one DIVORCE SUITS Florence Moore, mother o f eleven children, has brought suit in common pleas court for a divorce from Elhanon Moore,-Xenia R.

AVIATORLEAPS TOSAFETYFROM FALINGPLANE Lieut, George Price, 31, United States Army Corps test pilot from Wright Field, was forced to “ bail out” Tuesday afternoon to escape death when his ship died and. nosed to the earth on the Click farm north of Clifton. The motor buried itself in two feet o f earth in the crash. Price used his parachute when about 1,000 feet and landed in the barnyard of Forest Bookbank just across the road from where the plane landed. He fell between a corn crib and a farm wagon and had sustained head injuries, broken limb and was probably internally injured as the wing of the ship struck him while he] was descending with his parachute, i The “ chute” failed to open sufficiently (o bring Price down without injury. ' The ship was a total wreck accord­ ing to all reports. Wright Field au­ thorities have given out no report of the pilot’s injuries.

A t last the decision has been made public. Some time ago this column reported on the conflict then going on within, the inner circles o f the New Deal between-those more conservative, were attempting to convince' Presi­ dent Roosevelt that business appease­ ment and more .economy in govern­ ment should be the program of liis Administration, and the more radical o f his advisors who were urging that he embark upon another great spend­ ing program. Late last week the President sent a message to Congress asking that the. national legislative body authorize a spending program of three billion eight hundred million dollars, to begin July 1st, and to ex­ tend from two to seven years into the future. Evidently because of the fact tha ttlie national debt is practically up to the limit permitted by law—forty- five billion dollars—and which limit Congress has refused to extend, Mr. Roosevelt, in his message, endeavored to tell Congress that authorization for the new huge expenditure could be made outside o f the budget and with­ out being, counted as a part of the national debt simply by, giving author­ ity tot various new public agencies to issue their own bonds for the various projects outlined in the message, which the President argued would be self-liquidating some time in the j future. O f oourse, the presidential | one-fourth interest, and an account-: ing of 'rents and profits since 1934, are sought by Clara K. LeCrone in j a suit against Mr. and Mrs.' William j C. Butcher, 707 S. Detroit St. The; law firm of. Jordan and Hildebrant,' Wilmington, represents the petition. !
