HYRUM, UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Over Controversy With Secretary Wallace Forces Peek Into a New Job Education Begun In CCC Camps Sumner Welles Comes Home From Cuba. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PEEKS controversy with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and his assistant. Professor Tugwell, was put up to President Roosevelt and he speedily found the way to settle It Mr. Peek was persuaded to resign as agricultural adjustment administrator and a new position much more to his liking was devised for him. He was called a special assistant to the President and named to head a temporary committee that will recommend permanent machinery for coordination of government efforts to o.'-nnforeign trade. The committee also will Include the members of the two departmental adcummlttees, the visory board on reciprocal treaties, In"'J ROUGE terdepartmental trade policy commit- tees, and such other Individuals as Peek may select. In a formal statement the White House said: The report of the committee and final action Is expected within two weeks. It continued: George Peek, agriadministrator, cultural adjustment having completed the organization period of the AAA, is designated to head this committee as a special assistant to the President on American trade policy. The new organization to correlate the internal adjustment of production with such effective foreign purchasing power as may be developed by reciprocal tariffs, barter, and other Inwill be ternational arrangements, headed by Mr. Peek when It Is completed. The administration expects to bring about modification of some nation treaties so as to make possible special treatment of liquor Imports from countries agreeing to take more of this countrys surplus farm products. This Is not regarded as a great difficulty to Mr. Peek, as it Is a favorite theme with him that trade amounts to "swapping my jack-knif- e for your marbles. Trade, to him, whether on a domestic or international basis, is Just what the word signifies, and he says that In Its transaction we sometimes have to sleep with people we don't like and sometimes with those we like. He is quoted as remarking to an aide of the prospective liquor deals: "Sure, well take their liquor If we can pay them with butter and pork and other stuff." Mr. Peek has long felt that agriculture has been neglected in its pos slbilitles for export, contending that too much emphasis has been placed during the last 15 years on the exportation of industrial products. most-favore- d DAVIS, who was slated to Mr. Peek as administrator of the AAA, has been in charge of the crop control section. Though long a close friend of Mr. CHESTER Peek, he sided with Secretary Wallace and Assistant Secretary Tugwell in the dispute. However, he defended Mr. Peek against assertions that the latters presence In the administration had delayed of the prosecution crop control program. Chester "IT Davis lie pointed to the control plans for wheat, cotton, hogs, tobacco and other commodities placed in operation, and said: "The record of the past six months would have been impossible without of Mr. the continued Peek. It is absolutely untrue that he obstructed progress. With Mr. Peek moved to a new post, officials associated with him were considering plans for extensive revision of the methods of handling marketing agreements in the AAA. It has been virtually decided to scrap the two main divisions, crop control and processing and marketing. leaders from aii in Chicago for the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau federation, and gave their full support and approval to the farm relief policies of the President. Edward A. ONeal, president of the federation, called the federal farm ad Justment act the Magna Charta of agriculture, saying that at last farmers have the machinery and the power to obtain a fair share of the consumers dollar. For forty years, he said, the farmer has been getting less and less of this dollar, but by use of the full powers of the agricultural adjustment administration, he declared, this trend can be turned the other way. From Mr. Roosevelt came a letter full of optimism which was read to the delegates. The President, who is a member of the New York state farm bureau, expressed appreciation for the federation's support and outlined the first effects of federal money getting Into the hands of people who need it, yet he cautioned farmers and others to guard against letting a rise in farm Agricultural i i income tempt us to forget the realities of supply and demand. of his duties having been to Acting Secretary of State Morgenthau, Thomas Hewes resigned his position as assistant secretary and followed Dean Acheson and Professor Sprague out of the administration. All three of those men had been selected by Secretary Woodin, who is never expected to resume his duties, and Mr. Hewes Is a close ally of Attorney General Cummings. It was understood in Washington that Walter J. Cummings, executive treasury assistant, would retire very soon to become head of the Continental Illinois Bank and Trust company of Chicago. MOST by hundreds and Cubans, but snubbed by the Grau government, Sumner Welles departed from Havana by plane to Miami on his way to Washingwhere he reton, sumes his former post as head of the Latin American affairs bureau In the Department of State. Jeffer- CHEERED and honored son Caffery, who succeeds him In Havana, will be, for the pres- ent, the personal representative of President Roosevelt rather than ambassador. Whether he will be able to do more than Mr. Welles in the way of restoring peace and prosperity In Cuba is a question. Col. Carlos Mendieta, leading oppositionist, said that the strife, with no end in sight, Is keeping the island sunk in economic bankruptcy and threatened by strikes. He said the nation resents control by a government backed by army dictatorship and the student directorate, composed of 11 youths with decidedly Communistic leanings. Augusto Saladrigas, a director of the ABC opposition, declared that 95 per cent of the natives are opposed to President Graus revolutionary socialistic regime. Saladrigas expressed the opinion that the only solution is either a native revolution or United A States Intervention. revolution seems Impossible as long as the army remains loyal to Grau, but failure to meet a pay day might prove the start of a revolt. At the conference in Montevideo Angel Giraudy, Cuban minister of labor, attacked the Cuban policy of the United States. Failure to recognize the Grau regime, he asserted, was actually intervention, since it was upholding a minority group against the wishes of the people and propagating revolution. - OOpERT FECHNER, director of emergency conservation work, announced that a great program for education of the 300,000 men in the civilian conservation corps had been approved by the President and was being put into effect immediately. Educational advisers to the number of 1,465 are being placed in the forest work camps and an individual program of instruction for each camp Is To a considerable being developed. extent the advisers are drawn from lists of unemployed teachers that have been submitted to Dr. George F. Zook, federal commissioner of education, by state directors of education. It is the hope of the President," Mr. Fechner said, "that the educational program, by emphasizing forestry, agriculture and like subjects, will assist the men in readjusting themselves to a new mode of living to country life instead of city life and to assist them in improving themselves educationally and vocationally. A great number of the young men In these camps arrived at working age at a time when there were no Jobs. Many of them had meager educational advantages. We propose to give these men a chance at an education and to furnish them vocational guidance which will aid them to earn a living. The opportunity for education will be offered to all members of the corps, but participation in the courses of Instruction will not be mandatory. The available working hours on forestry projects 40 hours per week will not be disturbed. The plan Is to utilize hours other than normal working periods and periods of Inclement weather for purposes of instruction. cannot wither James A. Reed, for so many years enlivened the sessions of the senate with his dynamic personality. The Missouri statesman, who is seventy-twyears old, assembled 20 guests for a game dinner in Kansas City and surprised them by marrying, there and then, Mrs. Nell Q. Donnelly, wealthy garment manufacturer who has long been his political supporter and friend. Two years ago Mrs. Donnelly was kidnaped and held for ransom, and Mr. Reed helped to run down the kidnapers and prosecute them. Later Mrs. Donnelly divorced her husband. Mr. Reeds first wife died In October, 1932. AGE o T. WEIR of Pittsburgh, chairman of the Weirton Steel company, has defied the federal labor board and flatly refused to abide by the rules it announced to guide an election of employees representatives for collective bargaining. In a letter to Senator R. D. Wagner, chairman of the board, Mr. Weir said: We must consider any arrangements with you terminated and the election will proceed in accordance with the rules adopted by the employees organization. Informed later that Chairman Wagner had announced the board would enforce its agreement to supervise the election at the Weirton and Clarksburg, W.

A questionnaire distributed to who have tried most of the alleged approaches to the source of happiness would doubtless reveal the conclusion that about the most reliable hope for it lies in love of one's work. Yet how many people know real love of their work? How many are fortunate enough to have work that they do because they want to and not because they have, to? How many are led in their youth which is the important time to choose or find work that will be their interest instead of their job?

Meanwhile the forces of those countries were exceedingly busy in the jungle, with the result that the Paraguayans captured more than 13,000 Bolivian troops, with most of their officers. In one engagement more than 600 Bolivians were killed, according to the official an- nouncement. There was great rejoic- ing In Asuncion, where the Paraguay- ans decorated marched through streets ; and corresponding despair in La Paz, the Bolivian capital A few days later the Paraguayans captured Fort Saavedra, the most important Bolivian stronghold in the Chaco, and it was generally believed that these victories meant the final defeat of Bolivia in the war. in A'WvMMWMA' Earlier Flights Into the Stratosphere.

Thomas G. W. Settle of 7 the United States navy, ascended feet above the earth. A few months before a Soviet expedition rose to a record height of nearly 12 miles. In describing his first flight into the stratosphere, Prof. Auguste Piccard, Swiss scientist who has made two ascensions, each of which was more then nine miles above sea level, said: The sky is beautiful up there almost black. It is a bluish purple a deep violet shade, ten times darker than on earth, but it still is not quite The dark enough to see the stars. sun, however, seems brighter than when seen from sea level.

To avoid this danger, there was only one thing to do: to transport from below the portion of our atmosphere surrounding the aeronauts and to maintain this atmosphere in its original state, preventing its dilation during the ascent. That could only be accomplished by constructing an airtight cabin in which the aeronauts would be enclosed during the entire exploration of the high altitudes.
