Farm Board Goes As Nation's Chief Orders New Body
Credit Administration Will Combine Functions of Four Former Organizations
EFFECTIVE IN 61 DAYS
Washington, March 27 — (UP)—President Roosevelt today issued an executive order which in effect abolished the federal farm board and sets up in its place a farm credit administration in which will be centered all of the government agricultural credit' agencies.
Immediate savings of $2,000,000 and establishment of a "sound and permanent co-operative power" are contem-
dial. The state will be under the sweeping powers given Mr. Roosevelt by the special session of con-
gress. The order will become effective in 61 days unless ulexies by congress
Affirm that sweeping powers is not anticipated even remotely.
The present order would combine all federal organizations which deal primarily with agricultural credit into one central administration. The organization would be "the federal farm board, the federal farm loan board, the functions of the secretary of agriculture with regard to loans in aid of agriculture, and those of the department for the partnership to the management of regional agricultural corporations."
Henry Morganhain, selected to head the farm board, becomes the governor of the new administration. In this fashion he becomes president. Hoover passes into the discard after a career of spectacular attempts at price making in cotton and wheat. These operations, forbidden under the new order, govern the government $350,000 million.

American Menace Feared by Japan, Matsuoka States
Chief Japanese Delegate to League Tells View of People in Interview
'YOU CAN HARM US'
Copyright, 1982, by the United Press New York, March 27—(UP)-Japanese people fear an "American menace" quite as much as the United States fear a Chinese conspiracy peril. Yosuke Matsuoka, chief Japanese delegate to the recent League of Nations session, believes. He cast aside the usual barriers of diplomacy to clarify the position of his government and assert that China would be 400 in the New York World Telegram.
Kansas—Generally fair and slightly cold in extreme south portion tonight, with frost Tuesday, increasing cloudiness and raising temperature.
"You have great advantage over us already. Why do you want more? We cannot harm you, but you can harm us. Do you want to? Your long persistent criticism of us sometimes makes us think you do."

"We have no territory or fortifications in American waters but you keep one in Eastern waters.
Again, asked if the Japanese people, in general, appreciate "the facts clearly recognized here," that American internment was maintained anti-war treaties, he replied, "The Japanese people, as a whole, certainly do not, and it would be difficult for anyone to convince them, that we were wrong." Surely you have not forgotten that.
United States Expected to Join Arms Embargo Against Japan
LEAGUE PLANS TO ACT
Genève, March 27—(UP)-Japan's resignation from the League of Nations was regarded today as a signal for the beginning of a struggle by the League to maintain its decision in the Manchurian dispute. The League decided that China and vigorously criticizing Japan's operations, was expected to summon every moral resource at its command.
The League advisory committee was confidently expected to ask at once for an arms embargo against Japan, in which it frankly hoped the United States would join the smaller powers.
It was believed the League might demand the immediate imposition of geoeconomics on Japanese ambassadors from Tokio, under the vague provisions of Article ten of the League's covenant, which recites the undertaking of the nations to "respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league," and gives the League to advise upon the means of infering this declaration of principle.
It was indicated that a special committee would draft a reply to the Japanese note of resignation, citing terms of the Louague covenant providing that any nation may surrender its membership upon two year's notice and adjournment. All its international obligations and all its obligations under this covenant."

Best Grade Getters Are Considered Dumb by Psychology Head
"Students, while they go through the grades and high school are comparable to circus animals who are learning tricks," declared R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, today while dislining the student who works only for grades.
It is like dangling a piece of meat before a lion to get him to climb upon a pedestal, a student seen those grades better. He said he had good grades, be said, "The best grade得ters! I have seen," he said, "are those who know the professor's pet hobbies and throws them back at him. They all know that the professor is tucked it humbly," be said half to himself.
"I know Phi Beta Kappa," he said, "upon whom I would place no dependence, and then there are others with average intelligence upon whom I would place all confidence. Some of them would be able to communicate and can probably recite formulae by the mile and write Spanish and French vocabularies because they memorized them, but they're still dumb." According to Professor Wheeler's theory, to learn is to do something new, not repeating over and over again some phase of knowledge. In connection with the Phi Beta Kappa statement, it is noticed that while Professor Wheeler is the member of several national organizations, he never appears in public with any of the pinnacle decorations his watch chain.
