A somewhat similar policy has

the government-financed projects,
omclals, however, have expressed
the hope they will be absorbed into
jobs with concerns supplying ma-
teriais and equipment
But one official said he believed

stay off relief rolls because they
had not entirely exhausted thetr

strong effort to get direct employ-
ment in the $4,000,000,000 program

Speaking in behalf of his amend-

legal interest in addition, thus re-
ducing these tenants to virtual
peons."
It to probably true now. as it has
always been, that the back-to-the-
farm movement is the answer to
the unemployment situatiom. Farm
prices are low probably and chaotic
conditions extol in the world mar-
kets. and truly it would be impos-
sible for every one to make money
on farms Even the best of farmere
in Denton County have not been
able to make much. If any, profit
from their work in the past few
years, but. st. that, there are few
who could not make a living on a
small farm—a fairly comfortable
living, too. By contrast of the city
slum-dwellers. It is easy to see how
much better off the man on the
farm really la. There seems to be
s definite move from the city to

With British authorities turning a

ROUND
ABOUT
TOWN
One objection raised against the
$2,200,000,000 new currency biU in
administration quarters has been
that the value of currency inflation
is questionable. Just what language
the president win choose to deal
with the new money aspect of the
bonus Issue was s question of much
Intereat in the capital.
The president’s announcement
yesterday that ha would go to the
House of Representatives chamber
in person to read hla message and
his declaration that "I hope with
all my heart the veto will be sus-
tained" seemed to create gloom
among the friend* of the Potman
measure Some acknowledged pri-
vately that they had insumiclent
votes to override a veto.
Democratic leaders in Congress
predicted that the personal deliv-
ery of the veto message—an action
without precedent co far as a hast
searching of records showed—
would assure that the president s
stand against the measure would
be sustained, though even before
his announcement they had declar-
ed they had the neoeesary votes in
the Senate.
Comes as Sulprtme
Congressional leader, who olvt-
ously had not expected such * dra-
matie more, wee hatening prep-
arations today for a joint session
of the House and Senate, before
which the president will make his
appearance, probably Monday.
It wtU be necessary for the Sen-
ate and House to pass a joint reso-
lution for the two bodies to meet
in the House chamber. Speaker
Byms expressed the hope that late
Monday or Wednesday would be
agreeable to the president
"We will have to find out when
he wants to come up," Ise said.
"This apparently means that he
wants to remove any doubts as to
whether he hopes Congress will
sustain his veto”.
The president was finishing up
the task of wniting his veto mes-
Mge today. He had mid he would
have it done before departing (or
a week-end cruise down the Potom-
aconthe government yacht Sequo-
ia tonight.
At the press conference late yes-
terday. when he announced his de-
cision. the president had a ntle
fun with reporters A* the president
sat puffing a cigarette and ponder-
ing queries on other matters, s
diminutive newsman popped this
one:
"Mr President, when do you ex-
pect to send up your veto?"
Grinning, and assuming an sir
of mystery, the chief executive said
that he did not think he would eend
the veto message.
And talking about farms and
profit, it brings back to mind the
fact that a few years ago Denton
County farmers became quite in-
terested in the onion crop, which
"has been rather profitable in ad-
joining Collin County The crop it-
eelf was a success. Denton County
