Tire Dcsrtoys Home..
JL V11 'A Lifun i!jht about eight
o'clock-there .was reported a fire at
the home of Arthur Fitzpatrick, a
fire which with the weather in such
a condition that it was .difficult to
fight the demon, but still the fight
ers when they were tailed hastened
to the scene of the fire, but when they
arrived which was almost instantly
after the fire was a veritable furnace
and consuming the frame structure.
It was impossible to enter or approach
the bom?, but with heroic fighting
the fire was extinguished with but
a shell of the home and the contents
destroyed. The members of the fire
department are to be congratulated
cn their efforts and as well the very
good work which they did. There
was insurance on the building and
contents, enough it is thought to re
store the structure and to refurnish
the home. The fire department was
handicapped in their work by the
need of better equipment.

Compulsory
Control of Farm
Production
Amendment to Adjustment Act to Be
Introduced, in the House En
forcement Broadened.
Washington. Provision lor estab
lishing compulsory control of ail
farm production without additional
legislation will be proposed as an
amendment to the agricultural ad
justment act expected to be intro
duced Wednesday by Chairman Jones
cf the house agriculture committee.
The amendment, designed to .streng
then the act, wok submitted to Jones,
by Secretary Wallace. It would per
mit the secretary to establish quotas
cr allotments for any crop covered
by a license and marketing agree
ment following agreement -by two
thirds of the farmers affected.
Chester C. Davis, farm adminis
trator, said that while this and other
proposed amendments actually would
give the secretary of agriculture
legal power to establish .compulsory
control Hinder mnrkeiktf? aifercamentsijkdirt where th'ey-t&ft- rfbsorb the 41,
and licenses, that as a practical
thing such control of national grown
crops, such as wheat or corn and
liOg-5, would be difficult. "It is pos
sible cn such a crop as cotton, where
It must pass - thru gins first, to re
strict . marketing thru licenses," he
.aid. "However, on nationally grown
crops, where a hog or a bushel of
wheat loses its identity soon after
leaving the farm, the practical diffi
culties of controlling the crop thru
licenses would be tremendous."
Another amendment would broad
en the scope of contracts entered into
between the secretary and farmers
to allow on? contract to cover all
crops, whether or not they are de
clared to be basic commodities. This
provides that agreements could be
drawn "requiring the producers who
are parties to such agreements to re
duce or limit acreage and production
for market of agricultural commodi
ties other than basic agricultural
commodities, as well as of one or
more basic agricultural commodi
ties." It also would allow the adminis
tration to draft marketing agree
ments with processors, producers, as
sociations of producers, and others
handling any agricultural commod
ity which might "burden, obstruct
or in any way affect, interstate or
foreign commerce."
Enforcement powers would be
broadened to provide a penalty for
exceeding any quota or allotment
fixed in a license cf a sum equal to
three times the current market value
of Fiich excess, to berccoverable in
a civil suit.
DEATH OF IdS. PIATT
From Wednesday's laily
Mrs. Harry Piatt, a former resi
dent of this city, who has been very
seriously ill at the Lutheran Wise
Memorial hospital at Omaha, died
last evening, word received here to
day by friends states. Mrs. Piatt had
been gradually growing worse and
Tuesday morning hope of her recov
ery was abandoned by those in at
tendance. The deceased lady leaves surviving
her the husband and one daughter,
Joan, a3 well as her parents, residing
at Springfield.
No funeral arrangements have
been mads as yet by the family.
The news of the death of Mrs. Piatt
came as a distinct shock to the many
friends ehe had made during her
residence in this city.
George Hodge
Confers with NE
County Groups
Emphasis Placed on Giving; Service
to Private Employers Says
Crisis Is Coining.
Managers, interviewers and clerks
from national re-employment head
quarters in twenty northeast Nebras
ka counties met in Hotel Norfolk
Wednesday with George Hodge, Lin
coln, federal re-eniplcynient direc
tor, to re-view registration instruc
tions and to make plans for the -spring
drive to serve PWA, highway and
Missouri river projects.
Special emphasis was placed on the
matter of giving efficient service to
private employers in the employment
of men and women through re-employment
headquarters. These head
quarters. Hodge sa id, have an index
on all kinds cf peni le and tha kind of
work they are f.tt--d for, and their
service is free to all who wish to
avail themselves of it.
121.000 Applications.
At present, he ;uu!, there are 124.
000 applications for work in Ne
braskafi with fiG.OOO of that number
considered as legitimate unemploy
ed. Of the remainder, he added, there
is some question as to whether they
are actually ur. employed because
many will be absorbed in seasonal
work.
Of the CG.OOO It ted a? legitimate
during the winter, 33,000 have been
working on CWA projects, which
means that an equal number of needy"
people have been standing around
and watching the others work, Hodge
f-tated.
Under new oidc-rs, he continued,
the CWA is to start tapering off job?
at the rate of 10 per cent a week so
that all CWA projects can be dis
continued by May 1st. "Assuming
that on May 1st, the CWA will be
discontinued v.e will have CC,0ut'
needy people in the state," hi said.
"We have analyzed "PWA, Missouri
river and highway' J work ' and liiut
about 25,000 potential jobs. That
will leave 41,000 needy people to ho
absorbed by indu.-try, according to
the administration."
"A Serious' Thing-."
"This is a stricus thing in Ne
braska, because it is not an indus
trial state and what industries there
are have not been speeded up to the
000. Tin:; means tii.it when CWA is
discontinued a great many needy peo
ple will .'imply have to go on direct
releif unless absorbed by private firms
and employers." i
"One of the purposes of the CWA
was to take off 50 per cent of the
persons on relief roll.? as cf Novem
ber lCth. In Nebraska we practi
cally cleaned up.ad! of the employ
ables on relief as oi November lCth,
but so many have applied for aid since
the latter part of Novtmbcr that
there are more cn relief rolls now
than on November lCth because
needy folks have used up their re
sources and had to apply for aid."
"Nebraskans have : hown a great
spirit of patience and faith and con
fidence in the administration. The
crisis in unemployment that seemed
immanent last fall was postponed
due to the admiuist' alion of CWA
and in the spring of 1931 we will
face another crisis."
Hodge Has Confidence.
"I have confidence and I'm sure
that when the clouds of unemploy
ment look darkest the administra
tion will not step out from under
anybody. The administration is anx
ious that people cn f deral payrolls
be absorbed by private industry as
soon as possible."
"The president said when ho sign
ed the National Recovery Act that
real success ccultl only come from
wholehearted co-operation of indus
try and labor and every citizen of
the nation. There never has been a
time when that eh ad huge for co-operation
is as important as it is no v.."
, "The one danger as I see it that
will destroy in a measure confidence
and co-operation will be the coming
election when politicians will want
to show shortcomings of various
vlans and schemes the administra
tion has been using to help solve the
nation's problems."
The federal rc-employnicnt director
was accompanied to Norfolk by three
of his field supervisors, II. F. Vogeler.
