RAPS QUARTERS
Of ARMY IN
PANAMA
Sen. WadsWorth Tells Reserve
Officers Buildings Are
Going to Pieces

Startling revelations of the exist
ing conditions OF troops on duty in
Panama were made by Senator
James w. Wadsworth,, Jr., of New
York, speaking before a meeting of
reserve officers OF the city last night.
He told of a recent trip he made
to the Canal department where he
found troops living in old wooden
buildings erected by the French
when they started the canal. These
buildings were practically falling to
pieces. It required little effort to
punch a hole in the floors with the
ordinary walking stick, declared the
Senator. The constant decreasing OF
the appropriations for the regular
army Is the cause of the existing con-
ditions. he stated.
Senator WadsWorth also outlined
the amendment that he had intro
duced in the last Congress elimi-
mating the rental allowance from the
pay Of reserve officers attending
training camps for fifteen days or
less. Senator Wadsworth spoke as
guest OF. the Reserve Officers As
sociation of the District of Columbia
is graded according 10 his rank and
length of service. For second lieu
tenant the rental allowance amounts
to about $40 d month and for a col
onel $50 month.
More Men Need Training.
BY eliminating the rental allow.
ance from the pay Of officers attend
ing the fifteen-day training camps,
approximately 1000 additional re.
serve officers can be trained during
the fiscal year, Senator Wadsworth
told the association. 1t is the goal
Of the Reserve Officers Association
that one-third of the total number
Of reserve officers be trained an
nually. At the present time there
are approximately 5000 reserve Of
ficers and $500 enlisted reservists
Not only would the reserve officers
lose this rental allowance under the
scheme outlined by Senator Wads.
worth, but officers Of the national
guard would also be included.
Previous to the granting Of rental
allowance for officers of the national
guard, the guardsmen held prelim-
mary schools for the training of
officers, prior to the arrival of the
organization in the training camp
This has been dropped with the
granting OF the rental allowance. as

ROCKVILLE. Md. March H.
The scarcity of farm labor in Mont.

i ously handicapped farming opera.
tons for the last several years, Is
said to have become so acute that
many farmers, especially those with
out sons to help them carry on"
are listing their places for sale.
Hundreds of workers who former
~ supported themselves and fam
lies by helping the farmers are now
/ said to be employed on public works
and in other capacities in Washing
ton and other places, where they
receive better wages than the farm
ers can afford to pay.
Olney district IL thought to be the
chief sufferer in this respect. 1t IL
said that at least 200 former. farm

ent avocations, automobiles and q
daily bus se-ycie making it possible
for them to work in the city and
make their homes in the county.
This depletion of the supply Of farm
nelp mas, 1t IL said, so affected thG
farmers of the vicinity Of Sandy
Spring and other sections OF Olney
district that within the last fcw
weeks no less than sixty of them
have placed their farms on the
market
This desire to sell naturally has
had a tendency to decrease the price
of such farm land of the county 80
located as to be without especial
speculative value. Since the world
war. the prices Of strictly farming
property of the county have. It is
said, decreased 30 steadily that many
places are now purchasable at about
one-half Of not much more than
the peak values of the war period.
And at that it Is said very few
places are changing hands.
