Hildebrand of Seward Among Those Who Take Opposition to Action of President. CHICAGO, May 13 (UP) D. M. Hildorbrand of Se.vard, Nebraska, president of the United States Live stock sssociation, today protected President Roosevelt's crder directing the navy department to buy its can ned corned beef from Argentine pro ducers. . "The fact that the present admin istration has seen fit to buy beef from Argentina when our own livestock producers have been worklne; under a heavy handicap for the last four or five years clearly indicates that it is not in sympathy with making1 a market for our feed pralns, as the only market the farmer has for corn and by-products of the farm is live stock," Ililderbrand saiu. "With taxes mounting, certainly the livestock producers in America should have first opportunity to the Ameri can market. The best aid that agri culture and livestock producers can have is to provide a market for what we produce in America, and by the government buying Argentine beef other consumers of beef are encour aged to do the same. I think congress should pass a law prohibiting, our government from supplying its needs for livestock products from abroad, so long as they 'can be produced in this country. REPLIES T0J4AY0R BUTLER COLUMBUS, Nebr., May 13 (UP) C. B. Fricke, president of the Loup River Power Project, said today that Mayer Dan B. Butler of Omaha "knows little whereof he speaks" and resented implication of poor faith on the part of the district i.i assuring Omaha that the district will give suf ficent notice before it purchases the Nebraska Power company. Butler said yesterday that the no tice was an attempt by the district to influence power legislation pending in Lincoln and that Omaha is perfectly satisfied with assurances of James E. Davidson, president of the Nebraska Power, that no sale will be made with out giving the city opportunity to purchase the plar.t. "Fricke said the Loup district pas sed a resolution not to buy the com pany before October 1 only because a definite group in Omaha felt that the assurances given by Davidson was not sufficient.

Canada Getting Ready to Welcome King and Queen Quebec Will Have Honor of First Re ceiving Monarchs. First Reigning Rulers to Visit America. By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent QUEBEC, May 13 (UP) The lin cr carrying" King: George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain to Canada and the United States was brought to a sharp halt today and the engines thrown into reverse to avoid a collision with a field of float ing icebergs. The king and queen were on deck ; at the time. They seemed interested but calm as the liner, the Empress of Australia, was brought to a dead stop. Officials reported by wireless that the icebergs had been detected in ample time and that there had been no danger. j t The liner was not expected to ar rive here until late Monday night in stead cf Monday morning as schedul ed. It was believed that the royal couple would prefer to remain aboard ship and disembark Tuesday morning-. In order to maintain the schedule originally set for the royal tour of Canada and the United States, of ficials decided to dispense with all official functions in Quebec except for a drive around the city. The Empress of Australia was creeping- through thick North Atlan tic fog and ice and there seemed no prospect that she could make port Monday morning as pinned. Officials of the royal tour commit te were anxious lest there was "a delay but made no comment on re ports that mcst of Quebec's program might have to be abandoned. As their majesties entered Candian waters, the pi-ogram for their tour had been worked out to the last, min ute detail. The plans for protecting and entertaining- them overlooked no eventuality. Soldiers and sailors, scarlet-coated Royal Canadian Mounted policemen, railway, provincial and municipal policeman, special volunteers includ ing ex-service men, civil servants, Boy Scouts and service club members were assigned to guard every inch of territory over which they will pass in crossing Canada to the Pacific and back before they entered the United States for a five-day visit. Special automobiles of reinforced steel, fitted with r.on-shatterable glass were ready for them. The names of guests at every hotel and rooming- house in Quebec, have been given to police, who also have information on every house owner and shop keeper along the route of the rcyal procession. Sections of the city where policing is difficult because of the nrrow, winding streets, will be closed. The Empress of Australia will tie up at Wolf's cove, the exact spot where in 1759 British forces landed to capture Canada from the French the next day after a 15-mii:utc battle on the heights above. Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King will go aboard, and lead the party ashore. Trailing him from the ship will be the ladies and gentlemen in waiting, then the king and queen. When the king steps to the pier, Can ada will have on its soil its first reigning king ever to set foot in North America. The city, like others on the route of the tour, was decorated as never before in its history. The Union Jack and tri-cclor of France were on every building on the route of the proces sion, crowns, coronets, the royal stand ard and the Canadian and provincial coats of arms stood out on the door ways, arches and sides of buildings Snow still covered some streets but it was believed that a day of sunshine wuld melt it and bring into bloom the budding- flowers and treees before their majesties arrive.

Westerners Rake President on Beef Views Object to the Purchase of Argentina Beef for the Use of the United States Navy. WASHINGTON, May 13 (UP) Western senators objected vigorously today to President Roosevelt's order directing the navy department to pur chase 4S.000 pounds of Argentine canned corned beef. But Senator David I. Walsh, IX, Mass.. predicted that the senate ap propriations committee probably would eliminate from the navy ap propriation bill" the prohibition against navy purchase abroad of sup plies unless they were not available - in this country. Walsh belittled the complaints of western senators, saying that Amer ican packers can virtually no corned beef, that most of that con sumed iu this country comes from Argentina and Uruguay. He said American packers would be required to install special machinery for such canned beef if the navy were required to purchase the meat here. Congressman Harry B. Coffee, D., a prominent western Nebraska states man, said he resented the president's action. "The American livestock industry with its burdens of taxes and labor standards cannot compete with peon labor of Argentina and should not be required to do so," Coffee said. Coffee and Senator Joseph C. O'Ma honey, D., Wyo., led the attack on the president's order. O'Mahoney charged that the reason Argentine corned beef was cheaper than Amer ican was because the packers In South Ameria were subsidized by the government.
