Chi re -n 13 k'C2il27 c5 C!:c3 S Hoover Snjgecb New CrcZh Group to Aid Recovery Plan for $500,000,000 Organjxatioa Is Indorsed Proposal Is to Harness Idle Dollars Washington, D. C, Oct. 7. A wide-spreading plan to harness idle dollars for the task of industrial re covery, ease credit through a new agency, and modify the government's own restrictions on rediscount has been proposed by President Hoover and approved by the chiefs of both parties in congress. At a White house conference which began last evening and disbanded at midnight, Mr. Hoover presented these projects and asked American citizens to give them full support: Creation of a 500 million dol lar corporation by private bank ers to take up the frozen paper of insolvent banks and other in stitutions and otherwise give elasticity to the credit situation. Of the total stock 150 million dollars already has been sub scribed. Liberalization of the stringent rediscount limitations which now prevent the. reserve board from accepting certain classes of se curities. Expansion of the federal land -bank system to provide further credit accommodations for the farmer. General Agreement. The president also informed the conference he planned to discuss with Premier Laval of France the possi bility that the international mora torium may have to be extended. He was told by both republican and dem ocratic congress members, however. that the time for that had not yet come. No special session of congress is contemplated, the president express ing himself as satisfied with the as surances gives last night on points which eventually will require legislation. In a statement issued early today. Mr. Hoover outlined his program and said in conclusion: "The times call for unity of ac tion on the part of our people. As the conferees left the execu tive mansion shortly after midnight it was said there was general agree ment as to all of these points on which legislation eventually will be necessary. Some differences developed at the beginning of 'the discussion, which was in progress for three hours, but in the end even the democratic sen ators and representatives, who yes terday had shown some doubt, ex pressed their willingness to- go along with the president's proposals. $150,000,000 Subscribed. The general understanding among them was that no special session of congress would be called, but that Mr. Hoover would rely on the assur ances given at the conference and go ahead with his plans. The meeting was informed that private bankers already had pledged 150 million dollars for a corporation to relieve frozen assets. A total capitalization of 500 mil lion dollars is contemplated for this corporation which will have wide discretionary powers to make loans and rediscount paper. If the total capital is not subscrib ed privately, the government will stand ready to fill out along the lines of the war finance corporation which handled a similar situation during the war. Moratorium Discussed. While details were left for further studf, the amount of additional cap ital mentioned as needed for federal farm loan banks was 60 million dollars. Suggestions for extending the mor atorium in intergovernmental obliga tions was briefly touched upon, but no agreement even of a general na ture was attempted. It was understood by the conferees a possible moratorium extension wculd not receive serious considera tion until President Hoover discussed it with Premier Laval. World-Her ald.

Cousins cf Valley Laicrar, Ccsitst- inj Eait for Ci4,CC3, C&sl lerje Paternity Contesting the claim of Andrew Olson. 1110 North Twenty-ninth street, Omaha,, that he is a son and therefore entitled to the $44,000 es tate of Lars Olsson. deceased Valley stockyards employe, attorneys for six known cousins of the dead man will produce evidence Tuesday in pro bate court at Omaha to show Andrew Olson's father still living, they said Monday night. Witnesses for the estate claimant testified Monday that Lars Olsson had admitted in 1927 to George M Christian. Lincoln real estate dealer and longtime friend, that he (Lars) had entered a forced marriage at Plattsmouth in 1888 with Elizabeth Norlund, mother of Andrew Olson, and left her two days later. Confronted with a photograph of Lars Olsson as he looked in 1912 and another of the father of Andrew as he looked in 1888. W. O. Shane, iden tification expert told the court Mon day afternoon that in his opinion they were the same person. Atorneys for the cousins, to whom the estate will go if Andrew Olson fails to establish his legal relation ship, opened their defense against the suit Monday afternoon with An drew J. Johnson of Lincoln on the stand. Johnson declared he knew Andrew Olson's father well, but that the parent's name was Charles and is still living somewhere on the west coast. This information, he said. came from a brother, Edward OlBon, formerly of Plattsmouth and now liv ing near Seattle, Wash. Lars Olsson died last December as a bachelor, leaving six first cou sins, five in Sweden and one in Chi cago, as tis nearest relatives. Char les Coates of Valley, administrator of the estate, was about to close es tate affairs last April when attention to the matter was brought to Andrew Olson through, a story in The Omaha Bee-News. Conferring with relatives, Andrew Olson received assurance from an uncle, C. E. Norlund of Deer Falls, Wis., that relationship might exist, and he retained counsel. The uncle, first to take the stand at the hearing before County Judge Bryce Crawford Monday, old how his sister,' Elizabeth, had been married to a Lars Olsson, also known as Char les and Louie, after he was arrested at Plattsmouth In 188 8. Mr. Nor lund said the husband left two days later and was never again seen. Mrs. Olson., he said, then lived with him at Oakland. Neb-, and later returned f to Plattsmouth with her son, An drew. He then lost track of them. Christian then related bow a Lars Olsson had worked on his father's farm six years from 1892 to 1898 near Ashland. A friendship was made there that continued after Ols son moved to Valley, and he was an infrequent visitor to Christian s office in Lincoln. . While on the Christian farm, Ols son sougnt arrecuons oi rrances, youngest of six sisters. Christian said, but she never returned his feel ings and later married. "Then, in March. 1927. Ols son came to my office and said he had heard of the death of Frances husband." Christian said. "I told him I thought there was no chance for him when he questioned me, but inquired why he had never settled down to a home of his own. "He told me in confidence he had married when 21 a girl whom he had never since seen, and had been afraid to check up for fear of getting them on his trail, now that he had some money. He told me her name was Elizabeth Norlund. I prom ised to look the family up and found, through a former Cass county banker, that Elizabeth had died in 1898.' Six Fight for Estate Contesting the claim of Andrew Olson on behalf of the six cousins are C. F. Conley and A. C. R. Swen son, attorneys. Swenson entered the case on behalf of the Swedish vice consul. Andrew Olson, an automobile me chanic, said Monday he has been un able to find work for several months.

The- eallers were Governors Chafer ot North Dakota; Green of South Dakota, and Erlckson of Uon tana. Their states are In the group of eight western states in which gov ernment drouth, loans recently were reopened to enable farmers to buy feed for stock. The governors sought modification of the regulation requiring prior mortgage holders to share their liens on the livestock with the agricultur al department. They said the reg ulation was not applcable in all states and that it was preventing farmers from obtaining much needed loans to carry their animals thru the winter.
