—Charley Lockhart, state
treasurer, testified before a
legislative committee today
concerning contributions of
money made to him by em-
ployes of his department
during the spring of 1932.
Lockhart said that in all approxi-
moldy $500 was turned over to him.
Lockhart testified he believed the
money was presented to him by em-
ployes of the department as a dona-
tion and that he accepted it as such
He said the collection of the fund
was made without his knowledge or
consent.
When the fund was given him.
Lockhart said, it was not stated that
it would be used for campaign ex-
penses. He specifically denied any
knowledge that pressure had been
brought on employes to contribute to
the fund and said that had he known
of any coercion he would have dis-
charged the offender immediately.
For His Own Use.
He said the money was turned
over to him to use for whatever
purpose he desired. Lockhart said
there was some suggestion that he
purchale an automobile while an-
other suggestion was that he take a
trip.
Lockhart said he never saw the
list circulated among employes and
that he did not know who contribut-
ed or the amounts they gave. He
testified he refunded one employe

reported to the White House that
difficulties had arisen in the ef-
fort to work out a price-lifting pro-
gram.
Under the new suggestion before
the conference an agreement would
be drawn up under which farmers
who signed would be guaranteed a
fixed price for their products to be
baaed on "parity” levels.
It would be designed to give the
products the equivalent of their pre-
war purchasing power.
To Assign Quotas.
The farmer would agree to cur-
tail production in future years as
found necessary by the department
of Agriculture to fit the supply and
demand situation for each commodi-
ty.
Individual farmers would then be
assigned quotas of products which
they would be entitled to sell at the
fixed-price level. The quotas would
be based on statstics of their pro-
duction in prior years.
Processors and distributors would
be licensed to force payment of the
prices and to prevent circumvention
of the agreement.

he's “hotlerin" champion.
He is the 32-year-old Dan-

berland Mountain top and let
out a “yee boo" that was heard
in three states and for eight
mlles.
Dr. Morris Hyman, to whom
Chrisman said "ah-h-h" agrees
with the hollerin’ champion
that he has some extraordina-
ry vocal apparatus, including a
broad, high arch in the roof
of his mouth, a large larynx—
he wears a 17 and 1-3 collar
—and vocal chords longer and
thicker than those of most per-
sons.
Chrisman also boasts a chest
expansion of four inches and
extra large right frontal sinus
cavity. In which the champion
is particularly interested. "I al-

night and turn my head slightly
