DES MOINES, Ia., May 4.-A)-A
nation-wide strike May 13 on all
farm products was voted today by
the National Farmers Holiday Asso-
ciation, in convention here.
For the second time within a year
the delegates decided to withhold
farm products from market in an
effort to obtain prices covering cost
of production.
Adoption of the resolutions for the
declaration of a farm holiday was
unanimous.
The resolutions called for:
1. The declaration of a farm mar-
keting holiday effective May 13.
2. Resubmission of the associa-
tions legislative demands to Con-
gress.
3. Adoption of a scrip resolution
for exchange of farm produce for
shop labor and appointment or elec-
tion of 4 committee to outline the
plan to labor organizations.
Included among the legisative de-
mands of the association are the en-
actment by Congress of the Frazier
bill, the Patman bonus bill and the
Willer bill.
One thousand farmers from vari-
ous states and from Canada were
present. John A. Bosch, national sec-
retary, estimated the total member-
ship of the association at between
1,000,000 and 1,500,000.
John A. Scott of Carryville, N. Y.
headed the committee which report-
td the resolution for the declaration
of a farm holiday.
The resolution for the scrip plan.
proposed by A. C. Townley, of Mih-
nesota, calls for the issuance of an
international peoples' council of $1,-
000,000,000 in a scrip money to be
used in exchange of products be-
tween farmers and organized labor.
Demandgwas made that Gov. Clyde
L. Herring of Iowa withdraw na-
tional guardsmen from the farm dis-
order area. It called upon the gov-
ernor to "restore civil government,
and avoid the impending catastrophe
that we may struggle through this
depression in peace in the manner of
surrounding sister states."

sharp disagreement between House
and Senate but in other directions
the Roosevelt emergency program
continued its forward drive.
After conferees had composed a
large portion of their differences
over the farm bill, their work was
stopped by refusal of the Senate
members to abandon the Simpson
plan for guaranteeing cost of pro-
duction to each farmer, and refusal
of the House delegates to accept it.,

Orr Addresses Delegates;
War Debt Situation Is
Reviewed In Detail
Opening the International Student
Conference on World Affairs with a
speech on "All the World's a Stage,'
President Alexander G. Ruthven de-
clared last night at the Union that
many of the difficulties facing the
world today are due to the failure
of nations and people to properly
play the part assigned to them.
The successes of the past have
been brief and often short-lived;
those of the future will be much bet-
ter, President Ruthven said. "No na-
tion," he said, "is now justified in
warring against another because of
an old grievance - international
peace must be seen more and more as
a group responsibility, and the fire-
arms of the players should be
checked at the door of the theatre."
The conference assembly approved
the appointment of Martin Wagner,
'33, as permanent chairman of the
economic sessions and Charles A.
Orr, Grad., as vice-chairman. Wag-
I ner being absent, Ori immediately
took charge and addressed the dele-
gates in German.
After the adjournment of the con-
ference, the commission on War
debts and reparations convened. A
detailed review of the War debt sit-
uation was followed by reports of
delegates from five of the chief
powers. Differences were then ironed1
out in the general discussion among
the commission delegates.
Tonight the reports of the com-
missions on tariffs and trade bar-
riers, money, credit and capital
movements, and War debts and rep-
arations will be presented at the first
plenary session. This will conclude
the sessions of the economic division.
The commissions on world politics
will meet tomorrow. Hitlerism,
Soviet Russia, and the Far-Eastern
crisis will be discussed. Sunday's
sessions will be devoted to world so-
ciety.

L. H. Elder, Grad., was selected
yesterday as the winner of scenic

contest was conducted to choose a
stage setting for the production of
Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," in
which Jane Cowl is to be starred.
Elder will be awarded a cash prize
of $25. Honorable mention in the
contest was given to Oren Parker,
'33A, who will be presented with two

tival.

In TarponFishing
John Charles Thomas, one of the
concert stars on the program of the
May Festival, is the "greatest he-
man singer breathing," according to
, Frank McIntyre, rotund comedian,
who is back in his home town for
his regular spring and summer ses-
tIsions with the hills and valleys of
Barton Hills golf course.
"Thomas has such a marvelous
voice that neighbors in his fishing
camp at Pigeon Bay, Fla., claim he
charms the fish with his arias," the
jovial veteran said. "It seems that
while out tarpon fishing Thomas is
in the habit of singing lustily in the
operatic equivalent of a bathroom
baritone. Some of his catches have.
been so lucky that his friends at-
tribute it to his singing. But they
don't begrudge it for one night re-
turning from his usual "fish sing"
I Thomas found a crowd of music lov-
ers sitting on the beach-and not a
ticket-taker in sight."

Cleaner's Tag Clue Results
In Arrest Of Detroit Man
The alleged killer of the woman whose bullet riddled corpse was
found early yesterday morning on the Dixboro Road was arrested at 11
p. m. last night in Detroit, confronted with an overwhelming chain of
circumstantial evidence, and brought to the county jail here to await trial
for murder.
The suspect is George Reed, 1839 Ellmere St., Detroit, the former
husband of the slain woman, Mrs. Ruth Reed, of the same city. He is an
employee of the Detroit Fire Department.
The first clue in the mystery which had baffled authorities for more
than eight hours came at 3 p. in. yesterday when a cleaner's identification
tag was found on the sleeve of Mrs. Reed's dress. The tag was traced
to Coggan Cleaners, 5900 Linwood St., Detroit, who furnished the
woman's name and address.
County and city officials went to the address and learned from the
landlady, Mrs. Irene Kleinsmidt, that Mrs. Reed worked at the Turnstead
Manufacturing Co. It was established that she had left this plant at 7:30
p. m. Wednesday and had not been seen since.
Reed was then picked up at his fire station at Junction and Rogers
Streets. It was discovered that he had not been to work last night, and

car had been driven about 100 yards
beyond the scene of the murder, and
then had been turned around and
driven back over the path it had
come.
The body of the woman was taken
to the University Hospital, where an
autopsy was performed. It was then
taken to the Staffan Funeral Home,
513 E. Huron St. More than 100 peo-
ple endeavored to get into the
morgue yesterday afternoon, either
in an attempt to identify the body
or because of curiosity. The majority
of the crowd was composed of chil-
dren of high school age.
