Washington, March 15. Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace today outlined in general terms his plan for returning the purchasing power of the farmer to pre-war levels, which will mean from 90 to 95 cents for Nebraska wheat, 65 cents or more for corn, and more than 7 cents for hogs. In a press conference, the Iowan answered rapid fire questions as con gress late this afternoon received his farm bill and prepared to act upon it. The bill bears the stamp of approval of the White house, democratic lead ers in congress, and the major farm organizations. Weiglis on Allotment. Secretary Wallace agreed with the view that the bill, giving him sweep ing powers to tax processors, to enter into marketing agreements with pro ducers, and to pay them rental or benefit payments for acreage reduc tion, weighs heavily upon the orig inal allotment plan idea. This will bo especially true in dealing with wheat, hogs, beef, and corn, he ad mitted. The secretary denied that the ef forts under the bil to reach a "parity price" for farm products will destroy the speculative grain and futures markets will have to take into con sideration the amount of tax assessed on producers of the specific commod ity, if a tax is applied under his pow er granted in the bill. "Rapidly as Possible." No prediction a3 to tho time ior reaching the parity prices was made, but Wallace said "the provisions of the bill will be applied as rapidly as possibe after enactment." The measure is broad and gen eral, and tho opinion here is that a great part of it3 effectiveness will depend upon administration. Wal lace said no attention had yet been given to the details of the adminis tration, refusing to hazard a guess as to the personnel which will be re quired to carry out its features. He said, however, that the local administration is expected to be done among the farmers themselves. With out any pay or with only very small remuneration. He pointed out that money spent in this manner will en ter the rural communities, where the administration is aiming to begin its revival of prosperity. "We are going into this thing on a giant scale," he said. "We want everyone, particular processors who may have to collect a tax, to enter with tho same spirit we tackled the war. We must revive the purchasing power of the farmer. To do so will revive the same power for the urban worker." . . FOE SAT.T.

The "Inglewood faults," a break in rock strata start ing in the Baldwin hills north of Inglewood and running under land and eea southward nearly to San Diego, was blamed today by Dr. Beno Gutenberg for southern California's earthquakes. Dr. Gutenberg, recognized as one of the world's foremost seismological authorities, reached his conclusion after a tour of the affected areas. "The causes of earthquakes are In side the earth," he said, "not exter nally, not in the sun or moon. "The most direct cause comes from the pressure exerted by con tinents against ocean beds. The con tinents are high and heavy, whereas the ocean floors are Ibw, and water in the ocean averages a third lighter than land. "Where the shore has high lands, therefore, the difference in tne weight is enough to cause faults and accompanying quakes. Moreover, as the earth ages, it gets cooler and contracts, thus causing stresses in the crust which may result in earth quakes. "Migrations of the earth's mag netic poles may likewise have an ef feet. Then, when the forces have ac cumulated and are ready to break out, any number of trigger forces such as air pressure, tides, heavy rains and so on, may set tTie forces loose."

"The puppies soon grew up as did the lambs and soon began hunting rabbits. So did the lambs they just followed the hounds thru the woods chasing rabbits but they never learn ed to bark. The dogs got Jealous one day and killed the two lambs. Other wise I would be able to show you '. did own sheep." SUNSHINE IN QUAKE ZONE Long Beach.
