GRID VICTORIES i SUCCESS IS PREDICTED FOR ROOSEVET'S FORESTRY PLAN POSSIBLY BY END OF THE WEEK THE FARM BILL Measure Is Expected To Be Ready For Senate Action By the First of Next Week WASHINGTON, March 28 (JP) Redrafting of the administration's farm bill was expected to be under taken today with Chairman Smith of the senate agricultural committee hoping to have a committee plan ready by Friday. A speedy windup of hearings was planned this morn ing when Smith intended to call the committee into executive session to make a start on revising the Roose velt measure, the aim being to cur tail the power invested in the secre tary of agriculture. Senator Robin' son of Arkansas, the democratic lead er, said he was confident the farm bill would be ready for senate consid eration by the first of next week. The farm mortgaging refinance measure which is being shaped by Mr.

Roosevelt's aides also was talked over. Robinson indicated the chief executive would send it to congress late this week where it may be added as an amendment to the farm re lief bill. WASHINGTON, March 28 (IP) President Roosevelt's farm relief program will propose that the government guarantee interest payments on bonds Issued for the refinancing of farm obligations. This was learn ed today as his advisors hastened preparation of the measure which the chief executive hopes to lay before congress this week. In tentative form the bill proposes extensive mortgage refinancing during the next two years with funds to be raised for the purpose by the sale of bonds as well as the exchange of bonds for mortgages now privately held.

The bonds would not be a direct obligation of the government nor will the payment of their principal be guaranteed as several farm organiza lions have recommended, but payment of interest could carry the government's definite guarantee. It was said in competent circles that administration leaders feel that a government guarantee of interest would greatly Increase the marketability of the bonds. This would reflect itself in lower rates of interest to the farmer. The president's agricultural advisors hesitate to recommend a guarantee of the principal of the bonds in the belief that this would rank them as a part of the federal government's obligation. The bill is aimed to promote the lower rate of interest.

Whether a limit would be placed on the amount of refinancing the government would be willing to undertake remains unsettled. There is some belief that a low interest rate and no limit might lead to refinancing of most of the country's nine billion dollars in outstanding farm mortgages.

FIRE DESTROYS GUSHURST CABIN Summer Home and Furnishings Born To the Ground Late Yesterday Fire of unknown origin yesterday afternoon destroyed the Gushurst summer cabin at the Crossing in Spearflsh canyon. The fire was dis' covered around 4 o'clock by neighbors who notified Albert Gushurst at the erocerv store in town. The flames had a good start, however, and nothing could be done to save the cabin.

which with its furnishings including beds, mattresses, burned to the ground. It was thought possible that tran sients had broken into the summer home and had started the fire, although neighbors living at the Crossing said they saw no one there and saw no tracks around the cabin. Another explanation of the fire was that mice had perhaps gnawed at matches. The cabin was one of the first to be built at the Crossing. The Gushurst family had greatly changed and improved the original cabin, however.

At the time it burned It consisted of a large porch, a large living room, a kitchen, and two up stairs bedrooms. A shed a short distance from the cabin escaped the flames. It is recalled that in 1927 when the National Editorial association visited the Black Hills during their national convention, the Gushurst cabin was headquarters at the canyon and lunch was served there. The loss was partially covered by insurance, it was stated. NEW YORK STOCKS (dosing Quotation) Allis Chalmers 7 American Can 57.
