19. (INS) Cook county should look after Its own relief problems, in the opinion of over Illinois Farm Bureau leaders, who adopted resolutions to that effect at a session here. The conferees attacked Gov. Henry Horner's program for a special session for poor relief, and without mentioning the Lants bills specifically, adopted a resolution urging legislation to permit Cook county taxing districts to, care for the county's needs. The Lantz bills, vetoed by the governor, would have permitted Cook county to extend taxes for such relief.

The resolution also opposes further diversion of gasoline tax funds from road building purposes, and opposes further state poor relief until local committees have drawn reasonably upon their own resources. Another resolution adopted urges amendment of the revenue section of the state constitution. "The time Mas come when down-state people must rise and say to Chicago 'There's a line beyond which you shall not pass'," E. C. Smith, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, declared.

RUSS RECOGNITION ABOUT JANUARY 1 Washington. Sept. 19. (INS) American recognition of Russia and resumption of normal relations between the two countries probably will be effected about the first of the year, according to present plans. The administration has been moving steadily, though slowly.

In that direction since it came into power in March, and a great deal of the diplomatic underbrush has already been cleared away. Recognition likely will be followed by the appointment of a mixed claims commission to adjust debts and claims, as was done in the case of the United States and Germany after the conclusion of a separate peace treaty, Bnd earlier between the United States and Mexico. American claims against Russia comprise some $300,000,000 in treasury advances to the old czarlst and Kerensky governments, as well as reparation for the confiscation of millions of dollars' worth of American property when the Soviet took control. 1. 0.

President Grau San Martin and his cabinet today decided to Issue a decree barring themselves from public office 'or six years, after which a new Cuban government can be elected, following adoption of a new constitution. Election, on April 1. This decision, the first step In i.n amazing program for stabilization of the Cuban government, came to light a few hours after President Grau fean Martin Issued a decree calling for election of a constitutional convention on April 1 and the first session of the convention on May 2CT. The decree by which the present office holders will bar themselves lor the stipulated period will probably be issued today. The convention ordered by the president will be empowered to draft a new constitution for Cuba, and its decisions will be final, since it will be publicly elected.

It will provide for election of a new president and Cuban congress. probably during the following Sep tember. If they continue in office until the new president is elected, President Grau San Martin and members of his cabinet would be barred by the constitution from serving for the following six years.

IS TO BE REPAVED Nineteenth street Is to be re- paved from Charleston avenue to DeWitt avenue as part of the State Highway Department's NRA program, it was announced by Highway Department men in Mattoon on Monday afternoon. Original plans of the department provided only for resurfacing this section of Route 25 through Mattoon.
