Insurance Commissioner L. Herdman prepared orders to put the new moratorium in effect and expected to announce them soon. Governor C. W. Bryan signed the bBl late yesterday.

Herdman indicated the order would declare a 30-day extension of the period of grace for policy holders and bans on payment by Insurance companies of cash values, policy loans or dividends other than those previously declared. A provision of the act is that policy holders may draw four per cent on cash value under the moratorium. Substitute For Farm Bill Faces Senate Test Vote WASHINGTON, March SO.OP) A test vote on whether to accept a substitute for the administration's farm till faced the senate agricul ture committee as it hurried to get some relief plan before the senate. The substitute up for consideration was one offered by Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina, chairman of the committee. His bill would clip to a large extent the wide power Invested in the secretary of agriculture under the Roosevelt proposal.

Indications were that regardless of the outcome of the test vote a proposal earnestly advocated by John A. Simpson, president of the National Farm Union, insuring farmers production costs on crops consumed domestically would be added as a rider.

ADMINISTRATION'S REFORESTATION BUT ONE STEP FROM FINAL APPROVAL, CONGRESS and Von Hindenberg To Prevent Boycott Saturday PARIS, March 30. (JP) A French anti-German boycott appeared today with some merchants displaying signs saying "German salesmen will not be received." French Jews were organizing mass meetings to protest against alleged anti-Semitic atrocities in Germany.

Appeal to Hitler BERLIN, March 30. (JP) Jews turned today to the very man they held most responsible for anti-Semitic feeling In Germany Chancellor Hitler himself and to President von Hindenberg, who created the present government, in a last despairing attempt to prevent the nationwide boycott scheduled for Saturday. Premature outbreaks occurring in various cities resulted In widespread damage to Jewish business establishments. The national socialist party which Is sponsoring the organized ban on Jewish business and professional activities and which ordered the ban to begin on Saturday at 10 a. disapproved of these acts of vandalism.

In some cities its storm stoops were able to suppress the outbreak. The hope of the Jews rested in the conservative branch in which Hitler and Dr. Wilhelm Frick are now identified as opposed to the other Nazi cabinet members, Captain Hermann Goering and Joseph Goebbels. The action of the Jews in turning to the idolized President von Hindenberg also presented an opening again for a test of his powers which Hitler said have not been "touched" by the new regime. Technically, at least, he still has the power to veto any action of the government but foes of the Nazis lately have protested there is no longer a chance to gain a hearing from him.

1'St Publishers Bynd-tenU) SIOUX FALLS, March 30. (JP) Sioux Falls business and professional men launched a move for legaliza tion of 3.2 per cent beer in South Dakota when they called unanimously upon Governor Tom Berry last night to summon a special session of the legislature. One hundred attended tbe session which adopted a motion for the appointment of a three-man committee to pave the way for a state meeting to devise a program. Sentiment em phasized the loss of revenue to South Dakota business men and an approxi mate loss of $100,000 a year to the state in urging action to permit manufacture and sale of brew in this state. The motion for the appoint ment of a committee calls for it to contact business men In the state's important centers.

Similar commit' tees, according to the plan, will be selected at each point and a state meeting will follow at central points Means of attempting the program, it was planned, will be developed at this session. Confidence In Government Is Shown In Crisis nv nvnoN PRICE If anyone has been inclined to feel nervous and Jumpy over the stability of the American nation, he must have had a great lesson, Indeed, dur ing the recent bank crisis. The solidarity of officials and fi nancial leaders In that distressful time has become history, but not so much has been written about the really more significant patience and confidence of the rank and file of plain American citizens. Even an optimist probably would have replied with dire misgivings if he had been asked beforehand: "What would happen if the bank ing machinery of the nation were paralyzed for a full week, businesses cut off from their operating funds, the poor denied access to their savings and the liquid assets of 000 people tied up In a virtual receiv ership?" What did happen? There were no signs whatever of that dark day of riotous revolution which has occupied so actively the speculative minds of the pessimists. Instead there were actual cheerfulness and relief that at last the big smash had come, and the country was about to get it over with.

A Comparison It ia Interesting to note the close parallel between those two strokes of presidential leadership which gen erally are accounted the most spec tacular since the depression began the Hoover moratorium and the Roosevelt bank holiday. In each Instance the action taken was of a nature which, examined coldly, might be expected to arouse widespread antagonism. Mr. Hoover's moratorium on war debts, viewed in that light, interposed the arm of government between a tax-weary people and debts justly due them. Mr.

Roosevelt's bank proclamation put up the iron bars of governmental control between the people and their own money, on deposit in banks. Tet these are the two presidential acts which above all others during tbe depression evoked almost universal accord and support, regardless of party or section. No better proof could be offered that the nation demands leadership and action, even when it hurts, and is willing to follow a bold course in the confident belief that its government Is its one great rock of reliance in ft time of trouble. It's AO Peaceable Mr. Roosevelt's determination to go on with his program, leading a breathless congress from hanking to budget-balancing and from budget-balancing to beer finds certain or ganized groups rallying in opposition.

But it is an orderly opposition indulging in no talk about "the revolution." The significant thing is that, while disagreements as to national policies will be, as always, inevitable, the situation is in hand and "the government at Washington still lives."

PLAN FOR APPEALS FOR FUNDS FOR EXPOSITION AT CHICAGO PIERRE, March 30. (JP) An appeal for funds to prepare South Dakota's exhibit for the World's fair at Chicago has been issued by Chas. A. Russell, state secretary of agriculture. The state legislature appropriated 10.000 for South Dakota's participation in the exposition, but Mr.

Russell said $9,000 is required for space rental alone, while the remaining 11.000 will be needed for equipment, transportation and maintenance costs. "This will leave nothing to gather and arrange an exhibit of our resources in a creditable way," said the agriculture secretary, who was directed by the legislature to prepare the exhibit. "I believe the people realize that a poor exhibit might be worse than none, and in order that we may be able to place a creditable and economical exhibit, I am appealing to all counties, civic bodies, clubs, industries and individuals for funds xxx. Exhibit materials will have to be gathered from all sections and this will require time and hard work. Mr.

Russell declared ft successful exhibit would help advertise rural credit lands and attract tourists. ew Judge Louis H.

(Associated Press Photo) PRESCRIPTION RULE ATTACKED Senate Panel Surprise Bill Removing Limit On Number Doctors May Write WASHINGTON, March 30 (JP) Before some of the members realized what was up, the senate yesterday passed and sent to the house a bill removing all limitations now imposed on doctors in Issuing liquor prescriptions for medicinal purposes In had been before the senate less than 10 minutes when, without debate and with a mere voice vote, the measure was put through. Then Senator Sheppard Texas), ap parently without realizing what had happened, took the floor to speak, against the bill.

Senator Robinson, the democratic leader, observed that "at least we ought to have an ex planation of the measure from the bill's proponenU." Senator King Utah), who had called up the bill, said that was no longer necessary, the bill had passed. Minnesota Towns Act ST. PAUL, March 30 (JP) Legal machinery to make the sale of beer possible by April 7, in Minnesota communities was turning today. Many will be compelled to wait beyond that date, however, because of tbe time required to ensct ordinances. Under bills passed by the Minne sota legislature and signed by Gov ernor Olson, handling of 3.2 per cent beer is permissible with authority conferred on local governing bodies to license and regulate sale within their jurisdictions.

In many communities, however, charters provide that ordinances must be considered at regular and not "special" council and board meet ings. In others ordinances must have several readings. An influx of customers from some adjacent state Is seen in many borderline towns since they will not have beer on April 7. In North Dakota sale is prohibit ed until July 1, while in South Dakota sale is prohibited by constitutional provision, repeal of which will be voted on In ft state referendum in 1934. Iowa may take action this week on ft beer bill But there ia some sentiment to delay beer action until a special legislative session in Aug- Tne university of Florida is offering a course in practical navigation during the current semester.

(if) British gun boats were searching off the Manchurian coast today for a daring band of Chinese buccaneers who kidnaped four British officers yesterday from the British merchant ship Nanchang. Four teen pirates attacked the British ship, wounding two Chinese members of the crew and carrying off the four officers in two junks.

The two Chinese vessels escaped in shallow waters along the coast as the Nanchung tried to pursue them. Tbe pirates boarded the Nanchang as It was waiting for high tide at the Newchang bar. They fired rifles and pistols with abandon as they cowed Chinese sailors and ordered them to lead the way to the officers' cabin. There they seized W. E.

Har-graves, A. D. Blue, F. L. Pears and Charles Johnson.

They tied them up and threw them over the side into the waiting junks and then ransack ed all the cabins. Before Captain Robinson of the Nanchung was able to start in pursuit the junks were well away. This was the second kidnaping of British subjects by Chinese bandits here in recent months.
