In Kansas City this morning two gunmen robbed the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance office of about $1,000 as 30 salesmen gathered for a pep talk in an adjacent room. Miss Kathryn White, 21, and two colleagues, Miss Kathryn Goodman, 17, and Clarence Pleinmann, 26, were forced to the floor. An assistant district manager, Sherman, kept lecturing, unaware of the holdup. A separate street robbery yielded $105 to four bandits who also shot J. H. Edmonson, 53, in the foot. The robbers resembled a suspect from a similar May heist.

New General Farm Bill Proposed in Washington
Chairman Jones of the House Agriculture Committee today proposed a new general farm bill featuring an ever normal granary and crop production controls. It would empower the secretary of agriculture to set marketing quotas, levy processing taxes on oversupplied crops, and withhold soil conservation payments from violators. The plan omits cash subsidies and would create a surplus reserve loan corporation to aid farmers with stored surpluses, applying quotas and storage rules to cotton wheat corn tobacco and rice.
