Marine pictures and models adorn the Adams home. Mrs. Adams says her husband should be a skipper, if his interest In navigation is any criterion. But he has escaped narrowly with his life in two shipwrecks. On one occasion, Mr.

and Mrs. Adams and their two eons were ahipwrecked 13 miles off the coast of Colombia when the vessel ran on a reef. Another ship rescued them, A Vestrls Survivor. Mr. Adams and his close friend, Dr.

August Groman of Odebolt, are aurvivcrs of the ill-fated Ves-ti is, which sunk 300 miles off the Virginia capes In November, 1928. Although 122 were drowned, they were rescued by a freighter after drifting In an overcrowded lifeboat for 18 hours. Mr. Adams related an Incident of humor which occurred in the tragic hours while they were buffeted about by the rolling Atlantic. In the lifeboat with Dr.

Groman, himself and three other whites were 41 Burmese Negroes. Amused Passengers. "All of the matches were used In an effort to send up signal fares. It was pitch dark and I wondered what time It was, so I sounded the chimes on a watch I was carrying. "The Negroes were ao amused at the watch that I spent" a con-aiderable portion of the night ringing the hours for them.

"During the mad dash for life boats I heard only one order; given. "A couple of newlyweda got in the same boat along with women and children. An officer ordered the man out.

terially In the benefits of the corn-' program. The run of -gs was not heavy Monday and pricea were steady, yet the farmer was getting but about 3 cents a pound net for his hogs, ao several farmers from southern Illinois declared. Suggestion Listed. It doesn't take much figuring for a farmer to determine that he can't long continue to feed corn on which he can borrow 45 cents a bushel to hogs that are only bringing 3 cents a pound net to him. No one agrees, of as to what should be done but here are a few of the suggestions that one hears around the stockyards and the livestock show: 1.

Fix a minimum price on hogs until such time as the supply and demand situation of the farm and general busjnf recovery program of the administration can bring re lief to hog producers. License, Regulate. This proposal is in line with the recommendation of the National Hog and Corn Producers committee and with the suggestions of some of the farm organizations to the governors' conference in Des Moines in October. 2. License and regulate the packing industry to require pay ment of higher prices, narrowing of the margin and curbing of direct buying of hogs.

3. Purchase by the government of enough pork or hogs to relieve the supply situation, the pork purchased to be Impounded and kept from the market or exported. Delay Levy. 4. Hold in abeyance the levy of the aecond $1 or processing tax on hogs until purchasing power can show enough Increase to make sure the amount of the tax is passed on the consumer.

5. Levy processing taxes on beef, mutton, poultry, to keep prices of different meats from getting out of line and to prevent discrimination against pork on account of the processing tax. 8. Work out some plan either by loan or comparable device to guarantee hog prices along same line as, corn and cotton pricea now are being guaranteed. Pessimistic View.

Packers have said it is to deduct the full amount of the processing tax from prices paid farmers. If this is the case and nothing is done to remedy the situation, It would mean net of 2 centa to the farmers when the second $1 of the $2 processing tax goes on hogs Feb. 1, 1934. This la taking a pessimistic view of the situation but a representative of a leading commission firm told me Monday he fully ex pected this to come about unless something Is done soon, Tacker Aide Gloomy. A packer representative was gloomy over the chances of the market showing Improvement "so long as the government monkeys with the situation." The packers blame the processing tax and the heavy storage stocks, the commission men blame the packers and the government and the farmer is going to blame everybody concerned if pricea are not better In the nea- future.

Not Felt for Months. None will deny the prospect of material improvement in the supply situation with fewer hogs on the market aa a result of the government pig slaughter campaign, the heavy marketing due to unfavorable market and feeding con-ditiona and the expected decrease in breeding because corn is too high to feed to hogs, The trouble is that some of these meantime the hog feeder and the cattle feeder are In right now. Even with adjustment of supply there must be demand and purchasing power to insure higher pricea. Depressing, w. One thing la aure, farmera are; 10 i.

CMIIDRENS DS NORRIS CASE GIVENJO JURY Second on Retrial in Scottsboro Action. DECATUR, ALA. (Pi The fate of Clarence Norris, one of seven Negro defendants in the Scottsboro case, charged with attacking a Morgan county Jury at o56 m. Monday. i Before the jury could retire, Samuel S.

Leibowitz, chief of 'counsel, filed 12 exceptions, de-haying retirement. At the Jury's irequest, deliberation was de ferred until 8:30 a. m. today. The Negro, like Heywood Patterson, who was convicted with the death penalty for a third time last Friday, was convicted and sentenced to death In April, 1931, at Scottsboro, but was granted a new trial by the United States supreme court.

The defense relied mainly on testimony of Ruby Bates, whose deposition denying the attacks was read to the jury, and that of Dr. R. R. Bridges of Scottsboro, who examined both girls on the day of the alleged crime. The two principal witnesses called by the state were Mrs.

Price and Orvel Gilley of Albert-ville, wh styled himself an "entertainer" who read poetry. Both identified Norris as one of the alleged attackers. Writers Send F. R. Lynching Protest NEW YORK, N.

down on Murphy Continued From Pope. 1, packers are the masters of the situation and have driven down the price from a $15.55 October peak at Chicago, to $3.55 last Saturday. There is bitter disappointment here and apprehension that the price may go down even another dollar or more. Both you and I believe your monetary plan and curtailed production coupled with other recovery program measures, inevitably mean higher price. Trgea $6 Price, You are dealing In effect with one buyer in dealing with packers.

They will reap Inventory and operating profits from higher prices at the expense of our producers who will be sunk deeper into dbt than ever by the necessity that compels acceptance of the offered price. I urge most seriously that, In the absence of other effective measures for dealing with situation, you establish a $6 minimum price for hogs. I have brought this suggestion to attention of Secretary Wallace and Mr. Peek, who may be prepared for discussion of it with you. "May Be Defeated." I submit that the administration cannot justify rejection of this proposal unless it is now prepared to offer measures of control of the live hog market that will effect approximately the same objective.

Louis Murphy, United States Senator. Asked if he believed his proposal would be adopted, the senator aaid. "The very atrong aversion to administration pnce-peeeinf in circles, due to farm board failures. lL- Vu. mandato other crops, may defeat its adoption.

But that should not restrain Iowans from presenting our case with all possible vigor." Motora start easier with non- Christ Mural, Face Averted, Ends Dispute NEW YORK, N. Y. A figure of Jesus Christ appeared in the Frank Brangwyn mural at Rockefeller Center Monday-but it i presented in auch a way that the face is not shown. Thus, the dispute between the English artist and Rockefeller Center ends in a compromise. Brangwyn- given a free hand at the outset had planned to use his somewhat modern conception of Christ in the panels, which portray the freedom of man spiritually.

The Center officals objected. Christ, they maintained, particularly in a business structure, should not be represented pictori-ally but by some heavenly form, such as a column of light. Recalling that the muralist once depicted Christ in modern clothes, there had been some conjecture over the raiment. But this time, he followed the conventional lines of a robe.
