Kansas City. The AAA's plan to
continue its wheat control program
for another four years has won over
whelming approval of farmers in all
cf the thirty-seven states which voted
on the prop'osal.'
The total vote in eighteen states
which have completed a check of Sat
urday's vote shows: For the plan,
357,877. Against, 49,563. Other
states reported the margin for the
control plan was highly favorable,
altho final figures are not yet avail
able. Farmers who had signed wheat
contracts for the last two years and
non-signer3 both were eligible to
vote, and in both classifications the
vote ran in favor of the plan.
Kansas, into which the AAA pour
ed approximately $40,000,000 last
year on wheat contracts, was typical
of the vote generally. The tally there
ran 63,817 to 7,131 among the con
tract signers and 5.959 to 2.C03 1
among non-signers. Under the plan,
any farmer who signed a contract
may abrogate it at the end cf two
years and the secretary of agricul

HOLD UP CROSSING WORK
Details of Nebraska's grade cross
ing elimination program will be
withheld, rending definite instruc
tions from Washington as to scope
of federal plans, State Engineer Til
ley said. The state highway depart
ment has prepared plans and esti
mates on numerous possible crossing
projects.
"Eut they are entirely tentative
until the federal government advises
definitely as to requirements, what
types of crossings are eligible for im
provement and the funds which may
be spent," Tilley said. It has been
indicated, the engineer said, that the!
crossing elimination will apply only
on main line railroads..
"To date we have no information
as to classification of 'main line
roads' under federal specifications.
Any attempt to outline a list of prob
able improvements now would fcjc
mere speculation."
Plans for the Fremont tunnel, an
nounced Thursday, are being ad
vanced, Tilley explained, because It
is felt that project will fall under
provisions of any program the fed
eral government approves. The flow
of highway and railway traffic is ex
tremely heavy at Fremont, he said,
and the railway will undoubtedly be
classed as main line.
Washington. Nebraska congress
men will aid Senator Burke in estab
lishing the new works progress ad
ministration setup in the Cornhusker
state with recommendations for the
six district administrators.
Selection of a state administrator
is expected to come soon after the
arrival of Governor Cochran who will
confer wth Senator Burke and Harry
L. Hopkins, federal relief and works
progress administrator.
Meanwhile, the four democratic
representatives from Nebraska went
into a flurry of activity after re
ceiving word Senator Burke would
welcome suggstion3 for the district
administrators. Reports were heard
that the district administrators
would receive a $3,500 a year salary,
with the state administrator's salary
expected to be around $5,000.
Representative Binderup sent out
about twenty-five tlegrams to lead
ers In his district asking for sugges
tions for outstanding men who might
fill the post satisfactorily. Congress
men generally were mulling ofer the
lists of democratic leaders with ex
ecutive training who might set up
machinery to speed men from relief
rolls to job under the $4,000,000,000
federal program. One Nebraskan said
the congressmen would be anxious to
get the best possible men to avcid any
criticism of the method of handling
the program. No indications were
forthcoming as to who might be
recommended for the district posts.
