Aroused by what they termed un-

providing relief for drought stricken
farmers, members of the House
from 10 of the most seriously afflict-
ed states moved today to carry their
appeal to President Roosevelt.
A committee of four. compris-
ing Representatives Sinclair (R-
ND). Hildebrandt (D-SD. Oulette
(D-Ia) and Carpenter (D-Neb). was
named to arrange a White House
appointment as soon as the presi-

Buying Cattle
Meanwhile, In thez134 "emerg-

Dakota. South Dakota, Wisconsin
and Texas officials of the depart-
men of agriculture. Federal relief
and Farm Credit Administration
went to work with county co-work-
ers to buy cattle according to a
price schedule announced yesterday.
Farmers will receive 58 to 814
per head for cattle over two years
old; 55 to 810 for those between 1
and 2 years; and 51 to 55 for those
under one year.
Because many cattle are heavily
mortgaged the farm administra-
tion will also make extra payments
to make sure the owners get some
cash Income from such transaction.

Tariff Vote Uncertain
Attempts for a Senate vote on
the reciprocal tariff MB before the
week-end faced an uncertain fu-
ture. The House, meanwhile, sought
to dispose of legislation dealing with
prison industries but ran up against
more Republican parliamentary
maneuvers of opposition.

President Roosevelt was reported
today to be planning a move next

This prospect developed as NRA.

this industry has been called for
Monday, with union leaders pre-
dieting that over 300,000 would
walk out.

steel dispute remained to be ds-
closed One report was that the
president would call steel manu-
facturers. long opposed to non-
company unions, to his office to
seek concessions.
The president already has made
one pronouncement in support of

Middlewestem farmers ripped an-

Their hopes were buoyed some-

and unsettled conditions in the
Mississippi Valley The showers
however, were not expected to
bring anything but slight relief
from high temperatures which
supplied an anti-cllmax yesterday
to a month of dust storms and
extreme aridity.
Temperatures of 103 degrees were

“ts a poll tax a requisite to bold-

asked Roundabout. It is Round-
about * belief that a candidate may
run and be elected to office with-
out holding a poll tax. However, if
that fact were known about the
candidate, It might be more diffi-
cult for him to win. The payment
of a poll tax gives the privilege of
voting to those not exempt by law
from such payment. And speaking
of candidates recalls the fact that
there is a very short time in which
state or district candidates may file
their applications. June 4th. is the
last day for such candidates to file,
while County or Precinct candi-
dates may file their applications as
late as June 15th. The County ex-
ecutive Committee will meet on
June 18th. to make out the ballot
and to assess the various candidates
their part in holding the July and

each candidate must be paid the
County Chairman, on or before

— (AP)—President Roose-

today on war debts, held out
a promise for* discussion of
revision of present funding
agreements to any European
debtor nations who ask and
present “special circum-
stances relating to means
and methods of payment."
By emphasizing that factors
would be whether the nations are
utilizing their resources for "re-
covery purposes” or make a "rea-
sonable payment" on the debt owed
or are spending for "unproductive
nationalistic" purposes.
