MADISON, June 7 Governor Hcil has delegated to the legislature and the new state board of agriculture the task of helping him meet demands from farmers for an unconditional mortgage moratorium and a statewide program designed to raise farm income. About 50 men and women, led by Charles Goldamer, of Abbottsford, president of the Wisconsin Farm Holiday association, and William H. Markham, of Horicon, association counsel, presented the two-fold demand to the governor late yesterday. Before meeting with him farmers from 14 counties discussed for more than two hours in a downtown hotel the causes of low prices for agricultural products, criticized the federal administration's tariff policy, and heard several speakers declare the international bankers had "sold the farmers down the river." Refuses Demand. The governor refused the demand of the group that he proclaim a production holiday lor creameries and cheese factories of the state.

Eshelman, 22-year-old student flier from Carlisle, returned to dry land today only to be arrested for larceny of the airplane which sunk when he was fished from the Atlantic, 175 miles from shore, yesterday.

"My only destination was the planet Mars," Eshelman grinningly told reporters aboard the police boat which took him from the trawler Villanova in the harbor. "I had no intention of flying to Europe." "What were you going to do there," he was asked. "You've got me there, I wouldn't know what to do on Mars," Eshelman replied. Inspector Paul Crowley and Lt. James Crowley handcuffed the youth, who had made only one solo flight previous to his unorthodox hop from Camden, N.

'with me here Thursday to get started on just such problems as you bring to me now. "I am anxious to do something to stabilize farm, dairy, butter and cheese prices, but I believe, it would be unfair for me to take any steps until this group has been organized to advise me." The governor, after several interruptions, concluded his remarks on the price situation with a plea for time in which to work out a program and a reminder that the problem would not be solved within a single state.

Low Income Cited. Pressing for a statement on mortgage foreclosures, Goldamer asserted a current wave of such actions in Wisconsin resulted from low income. He said a recent University of Wisconsin survey showed the average income per farm was $300 a year. "The present moratorium law does not go far enough," Goldamer said, "because it gives discretion to the court. We should have an absolute, unconditional moratorium." Governor Heil replied he might be able to stop foreclosures again insisted the basic problem was to find a market for Wisconsin products.

Turning, however, to a group of legislators in the room, he asked them to "see if something can't be done." He suggested the legislature could "call a halt" for two years. Clement Lange, of Milwaukee, chairman of the state central committee of the Union party, told the chief executive "the people of Wisconsin look upon you as a failure as governor," Later, 'shaking hands with Lange, the governor referred to the remark and said "That is just barroom talk."

He told parliament that Britain and Russia had agreed in principle to such a pact that some obstacles reference apparently to Russia's insistence on guarantees to Finland, Estonia and Latvia.
