The deal never was completed. L. E.

Wehrheim filed the original action against Overton E. Nelson and Mrs. Thea Torvick Nelson for which he claimed as his fee due for finding a buyer for the Nelson farm. The facts set forth show that Mr. Wehrheim negotiated a deal with David J.

Conn, who was to assume a indebtedness against the farm and also $165 in taxes due, and was to give the Nelsons a three-ton truck in exchange for the farm. Counter Charges Filed The defendants first charged thai the plaintiff was not a licensed broker and therefore barred from relief at law. But the plaintiff countered by showing that he was a licensed real estate broker at the time the deal was entered into last October. He further stated he had had the farm listed for several months.

Smith, more dignified and serious than in recent appearances at the capitol, warned the senate finance committee Tuesday that currency inflation was only "a shot in the arm" which would injure rather than help the country. Smith favored the recognition ot the Soviet government saying "there- is no use trading with them 'under cover." "We're doing it under cover thru the Airtorg," he said.

v. At least some members of the committee have become weary of looking into the "best minds" and despair of obtaining from them a solution for the depression. They hoped the colorful- and outspoken New Yorker would inject fresh ideas into the proceedings. The liberal element in the committee, headed by Senator La'Fol- lette, republican, Wisconsin, is irritated because industrial and banking witnesses in the. main have insisted that balanced budgets and renewed confidence are the prime requisites for economic recovery.

Conservatives led by Senators Shortridge, republican, California, and Smoot, republican, Utah, believe the non-banker witnesses, the labor leaders and economists, are stirring unrest by picturing conditions as being more serious than facts justify.

Clyde L. Herring Tuesday granted the United Press an exclusive interview in which he outlined his plans for national cooperation in settling Iowa's rural difficulties. The interview follows: By W.

H. MILLHAEM United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1933, by United Press.) MOINES (U.P.)— The Iowa farmer is no longer the forgotten man" and the strikes, holidays and unrest by which he raised himself from obscurity are melting into peaceful cooperation with Gov. Clyde L. Herring's program of emenrem'y relief. This is the message that Governor Herring is Inking to AVash- ington Tuesday to present to the leaders of I'm- democratic administration when they meet at the governors' conference after the inauguration of Franklin D.

Roosevelt as president of the night in the city hall, authorized City Manager J. li. Ames, executive director of the board's activities, to issue a public appeal for funds to carry on the board's relief work for the next two months. This is the first time the board has asked for cash since it was organized last fall. About $300 has been contributed voluntarily without solicitation, along with hundreds of dollars worth jf food and clothing.

The board has maintained its policy of refraining from ask-- ing- for cash so long as the public so generously supported the food depot and clothing room. Mr. Ames on Tuesday spent the last dollar of the funds on hand for staple food items for the food depot. 1 Nsw Conditions Arise The recent readjustment of local economic conditions directly affected the board's work in three ways: Cash donations which had been made by eevcral persons and organizations more or less regularly, ceased to. come in.

Gifts of food thru the food barrels and directly to the food depot have greatly decreased. The number of families seeking temporary assistance has sharply increased. Due to sponsorship of the relief work by the mayor and city council and placing the various projects nnder the direction of the city manager, the board's work has involved no direct adminirtrative expense? Certain gifts provided some money paid to J. A. Tanner for his full time work at the food depot.

All other money donated to the work has gone wholly to relief purposes.

Q. Jolinson, former U. S. district attorney now federal judge on a recess appointment and his successor prepared Tuesday to return to private law practice. Johnson, who is credited with: having smashed the Chicago "syndicate" thru use of convictions on income tax violations, confessed sadly "I'm moving." His recess appointment by President Hoover has not been confirmed by the "lame duck" session of congress.

There is little likelihood that congress will act in the remaining five days. His successor as federal district attorney, Dwight H. Green, will go out of office with the installation of President-elect Roosevelt unless the democrats reappoint him. However, Green concluded his term of office with the mail fraud indictment of 19 men, including three members of the Insull family which ruled a mid-American utility empire until its collapse under the heavy hand of the depression. Last Juno just before his appointment to the beuch, Johnson obtained indictments against Al Capone and 68 henchmen on conspiracy charges.

He declined to help because he had endorsed another for the place and this was his attitude to the end. "I thot of Mr. Wallace's appointment principally from a desire to give power and direction to a new economic philosophy of which he is an outstanding exponent. It would be difficult to exaggerate the import of his selection." Murphy will be on hand for the inaugural of Mr.

ACTION FOLLOWS PLOT TO DESTROY IICH BUNGS Main Legislative Hall Charred by Blaze Monday BERLIN, Paul von Hindenberg signed a decree Tuesday night completely disbanding all constitutional safeguards of free press, speech and assembly. Evidence uncovered indicated that Monday night's reichstag fire, which left the main hall of the legislative building a mass of charred ruins, was deliberately set by a Dutch communist named Vander Luebbe, acting: in concert with a number of other conspirators. BERLIN, Hitler government Tuesday ordered the arrest of every communist connected with the government, for alleged complicity in a terrorist plot which began with the attempted destruction by fire of the reich-stag buildings.

A ban on the communist and social-democrat press was decreed by Herman Wilhelni Gocring, minister without portfolio in the Hitler government. Goering charged that the reich- stag re was part of a plot for a communist uprising had as its goal destruction of all government buildings and "the wholesale looting of Berlin." Evidence uncovered Tuesday indicated that the reichstag fire, which left the main hall of the legislative buiWinj. a mass of charred ruins, but which spared the library of the historic edifice, was deliberately set by a Dutch communist named Van Der Luebbe. acting in concert with a number of other conspirators. Police reported that after the fire was discovered, men were seen rushing thru the building with lighted torches in their hands.

Van Der Luebbe said he had no tckjlestroy the goveiit- ment buildings. Simultaneously, police revealed that a raid on. Liebknecht house, communist headquarters, last Friday uncovered "instructions" the beginning of a widespread reign of terrorism thruout German, with the hope of civil var to follow. An immediate roundup of. sue- pects in connection with the supposed plot started and before morning more than 80 prisoners were held incommunicado in Berlin cells.

Most of them were leaders of the communist party. Some of those' arrested were said to be deputies, but the police refused to identity. The parliament, it was believed, would meet in the vacant state opera housf in Bcrlii. or in some hall outside the city, pending restoration of the buildings which will cost millions. One of the first acts tit the police was to raid the iremises of the newspaper Yorwaerts, confiscate the morning addition: and put its editors under surveillance.

She has not entertained elaborately here, and her dinners have been marked by unosten- tation and informality.
