of the public utility commission of

federal interstate commerce commis
sion, sat with federal examiners" in
vestigating freight charges by rail
roads on grain and grain product!
shipped west of the Mississippi. Hoch
was joint author of the Hoch-Smith
resolution under which the investi
gation is conducted.
Clyde M. Reed, former governor
of Kansas, testifying on behalf of
wheat growers of Kansas, endorsed
the commission's previous report with
one exception. It concerned the rates
from Kansas City to Chicago which
he said should be made one cent
lower than the Omaha to Chicago
rates. That previous report was set
aside by the courts because the rail
roads complained it reduced theiif
revenues $20,000,000 a year. Reed
was cross examined by II. C. Ames,
a lawyer representing the Omaha
grain exchange.

Ford is Keeping
His Own Counsel
Concerning NRA
Nothing at All to Say on Statement
Credited to General Hugh.

TUamnettP Mich. Snceuiatron as
to whether there wa3 any reference
to the NRA in a lengthy telephone
conversation between Henry Ford,
vacationing near here, and his son,
Edsel, at Seal Harbor, Me., ran high.
Ford, as on the previous day, flatly
declined to make any comment "on
anything." He hastened into a local
hotel from his secluded camp at the
Huron Mountain club, about forty
miles north of here, and ordered the
telephone operator to get in touch
with Edsel. While waiting for tne
call to be completed, he was question
ed about the statement of Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson, recovery administrator,
that "maybe the people will 'crack
down on Ford" if the motor magnate
does not obtain the NRA blue eagle
by signing the automotive code
"I have nothing to say about the
NRA or anything else." said Ford
I have nothing to say at all."
He conversed at length from a room
in tne noiei. wiin uis son. vnu i
nresident of the Ford company. Then
he . was driven back to the camp,
where there are no modern means of
communication. Messengers occa
sionally go to the camp with tela-
jrrams for the motor magnate, but
stewards at the camp said he is "not
much in communication" with out
side events. Ford's chauffeur anu
others fo his party made careful at
tempts to prevent the motor mag
nate from coming in contact with
questioners during the brief visit
here. The camp at which Ford, with
Mrs. Ford, lias been staying for the
past week ,is near Huron mountains,
in the northernmost point of Mar
quette county on Lake Superior. Fore'-
has emerged from the camp only
twice during the past week.
At no time during his visit in the
upper peninsula ' has the motor mag
nate permitted an interview. Resi
dents near Big Bay said he spent
much titue inspecting a lumber yard
there Wednesday.
Edsel Ford Also Silent. ,

manufacturer as replying. State

m
States to Hand
Out the Federal
Relief Meat
Allocation to Be Based on Adequacy

Washington. Plans for giving
millions of dollars worth of meat to
the states to feed the hungry were
announced by the federal relief ad
ministration. At the same time C. M.
Bookman, assistant relief adminis

aid would be considerably less dur
ing the approaching winter than now.
Bookman disclosed that meat from
tho millions of pig's and sows the
government is buying in it3 campaign
to relieve the hog market would be
distributed to the states free in ad
dition to thoir allotments from the
500 million dollar unemployment aid
fund.
The meat, processed at government
expense, : will be distributed to the
states, he said, on the basis of need.

ber of families on relief rolls and
the adequacy of relief being afforded.

right gift in addition to the alloca
tions of money. Bookman said, the
relief administration hopes to raise
tho relief standards of the states,

adequate. The farm administration
plans the purchase of 4,000,000 pigs
and 1,000,000 sows from the farmers

the market.

is estimated at slightly more than

be paid from relif funds for process
ing the meat. The remainder will
come from a processing tax. Book
