Memphis, March Renewing his warning to the nation's farmers that production control as such can not be effected under the soil conservation program Secretary Wallace today said "we don't want this new act imperiled' by the supreme court. Wallace, admitting that he was speaking "very broadly" told more than 500 delegates lo a icgiona farm conference the AAA probably would seek to divert 11,000,000 acres from cotton lo soil conserving grow Ins this year. This fipure was an increase of l.OOO.OCO acres from the estimate made yesterday by Cully A.

Cobb, chief of the AAA cotton section. "Since I arrived here last night," Wallace have found a feeling that some of you want us in Washington to tell you what to go home and do. "We do not propose to do that. a long ranee point of view, I am Inclined to think the new act is better than the eld AAA. From a short range view, I am not so sure.

"We can't proceed as definitely to raise cotton prices as did under the old act." Meeting In Uproar. As Wallace completed his extemporaneous remarks and hurried from the room, W. H. Robertson of Alabama asked H. R.

Tolley, former AAA administrator in charge of the meeting, whether the south would have to account, for 43 per 'cent of acres to be ihifted to conserving crops in return for only 21 per cent of the subsidy money. Tolley replied that of such a distribution of tho funds "has not come from this platform." The meeting then broke up in confusion with Robertson still demanding an answer. Wallace had told the fanr.ers that 30,000,000 acres should be diverted from soil-depleting to soil conserving growths this year, and that "the states here represented should contribute from 12,000,000 to 12,000,000 of this total." If the south diverts 13,000,000 acres, Wallace said, 11,000,000 probably would be cotton and the remainder divided among tobacco, wheat ano feed grains in the west- em part of the cotton belt.

Chicago, March 6 for putting the new farm program Into operation were drafted today by agricultural leaders.

Seven committees met to work out details of the shift in acreage involved in the soil conservation measure, national, state and county organization and procedure, the handling of applications and payments, the treatment of special crops and other problems incident to adapting the project to the needs of the middle west. They had before them the administration's plan for restricting 193(1 major crops to 270,000,000 acres and sowing 30,000.000 to grasses and legumes. Farmers would be paid approximately sil for each acre taken out of major crop production with suggested benefits of about 75 cents to 31 for each ncro already planted to grass crops. The total outlay would be limited to $470,000,000 and administration would be invested in county AAA and slate boards. The committee's recommendatons those advanced at a concurrent meeting at Memphis, and at subsequent parleys In New York and Salt Lake be considered by officials of the agriculture department in adjusting the scheme to regional needs.

New York, March 6 storm of protest today enveloped the of freo radio time to the Jommunist party of America for a discussion of political problems. Earl Browder, secretary of the party, as he spoke on a coast-to- coast Columbia hook-up, was picketed by 100 flag bearing persons and snubbed by a New England network. He also had been his speech would be cut off the air if he deviated from his prepared manuscript. Browder was offered the facilities as part of the broadcasting company's program of sponsoring discussion by all recognized political parties. He urged farmers, laborers and the "middle class" to unite in a third party.

Proposes New Parly. "We communists propose," said Browder, "that in 193(5 all workers, farmers and middle class people should get together to form a 'firmer-labor party. "Such a farmer-labor government would outlaw the yellow-dog contract and company unions; it would help the workers to make our industries and agriculture 100 per cent unionized: it would tax the rich to care for the poor; it would enact genuine old-age, unemployment and social insurance legislation that would really give social security to all of those who could not yet be put back to work." The National Americanization eague picketed the company's of- 'ice for three hours before and dur- Browder's 15-minute address. Pickets bore placards reading: Speaker Is "Picketed. "Democracy guarantees free speech; communism denies It." "People denying our rights should not enjoy our rights." Seven New England radio stations refused to broadcast the speech.

Affiliated with the Columbia network, when Browder started sneaking at 11 p. they shut off Ihe network program and substituted dance music. Although they refused lo broadcast the original speech, tonight they will transmit an address in rebuttal by Rep. Hamilton Fish iR- NYK The Columbia company said in a statement it had forbidden Browder to advocate the overthrow of the American government by force and had "instructed its engineers to pul him off the air if he departed from Ills prepared speech and tried it." Browder said that every crisis of American history had given rise to o. new political party to solve it.

Community Building Would Cost $222,200 (Continued irom Page One) not including seats, removable floor and running track for the community building, and not including possibly the extra expense of vaults and city jail equiphient for the city hall. This cost also did not include the purchase of a site and the construction of a firo department unit. Mr.

Brlnkman estimated the cost of the fire department building at 535,000. No one figured the cost of a site at more than $10,000 to The total cost of "the proposed improvements then, was placed at $222,200, not including a site for the fire department, and the cost of certain equipment for the big building. The city's Bhare of this cost would be 55 per cent or $122.210, and the federal government's $99,990. Mr. Brlnkman strongly urged that the city's bond issue should be set at not less than $150,000 to make ample allowance for equipment and emergencies.

Would Move Fire Department. At this morning's meeting the committee and the commissioners considered again including the fire department in the new community building to see if its inclusion would not save coiisiderable. money. To do this it would' be necessary to buy land on the north of the present In the end, the project did not seem feasible, as Mr. Brlnkman showed the committee that the saving would be slight and there stilt would be the disadvantage of having the fire department in a building nround which would bo heavy traffic and much double parking.

When adjournment was taken, it seemed again to be the unanimous opinion that the fire department should be elsewhere in a separate building. The city has about a week in which to take action to insure a vote on the proposition in the spring election. An ordinance must be drawn up and advertised. As discussed this morning 1 the election proposal will be worded to give the city authority to issue the bonds with the understanding that no bonds woulii be issued unless federal aid was obtained. The committee expressed its belief that eventually more money would be allocated for such purposes and that Emporia should be in line to receive it.

It was conceded also that if the building can be obtained with federal aid it should, be done now when building costs are low and bonds at low interest rates can be issued. The committee appeared to believe that the public would approve of the bond issue. DEFENDS SCHOOL AID Roosevelt Says Federal Activities Are in Form of.Relief. Washington, March 6 (if) A presidential defense of federal policies in the field of school aid was accompanied today by a promise that "if and when" the government enters into a purely educational program it will be directed by educational agencies. president Roosevelt's views were disclosed by publication of an exchange of letters from Miss Agnes Samtielson, president of the National Education association.

Urging that all educational activities sponsored by the government clear through the United States office of education, state education departments and local school boards, she said this would maintain the integrity and responsibility of agencies "free not only from the reality but also from the danger of political infiltration." Excerpts from the President's reply: "If some activities of the government during recent years linvc seemed to some persons in the field cf education to violate the principles defended In your letter, the reason is thai these activities have not concerned education alone.

"Relief is a problem with which edtiCHtionfil people are generally well acquainted. It is even doubt- fn! if educational authorities would wish to administer the relief phases of the combined program of education and relief involved in such an enterprise as the emergency education program.

Co-operation therefore between relief agencies and educational agencies was imperatively necessary. "Will yot: not my assurance that if and when the federal government enters-into any program of federal participation in education where the sole, or even the primary, consideration is the advancement of the nation's educational system, it shall be my purpose to avoid all division oC responsibility and to expect the educational agencies, federal, state and local, to have charge of such a program membershjp in the district.

He declared, however, no such action would be contemplated "until every legal remedy is exhausted." It was indicated that a definite move was under way by the state beard of affairs to drill a well near the mansion as soon as an injunction suit, seeking to prevent the state from leasing, has been disposed of in district court. Marland charged the action of the Oklahoma City "council in including a tract adjoining state property in a proposed drilling zone election and not allowing the state's petition for inclusion of its land was "unreasonable, unjustified and unwarranted and somebody is responsible."
