'DAV|S CUP NEXT TO BE DEFENDED
Country Marshalling Strongest
 Players for Matches

New York, Aug. Is UP)-With the Wightman cup in possession of the United States for another year after the victory of the British in- vaders at Forest Hills Saturday. the tennis problem confronting this country today was how 10 retain the Davis cup.
 It was believed Helen Wills would lead her comrades to victory over the British team. but there was a feeling that William T. Tilden and his mates will be up against the job of their lives in repelling the French at Germantown September s, g. 10.
 After their narrow defeat at the hands of the American team last year the French are back intent on wrapping the tri-color around the Davis cup and carrying it to a new home across the sea.
 Rene La Coste. Jacques Brug- non, Henri Cochet and Jean Boro- tra learned a lesson from their loss in the Davis cup finals last year. They played the Americans too ear ly and were not in shape for the ter rife fight they encountered. They lost but they learned something and are going to be ready this year.
 A little matter of beating the Jap anese team remains for the French before they advance to the final challenge round, but they are ex- pected to dispose of the Nipponese in short order. The match is sched

PRESENTS PLAN TO
 AID AGRICULTURE
Cooperative Units, Creation Of
 Federal Loan Suggested

Washington, August IS fPl-t.X- tensive organization of cooperative units aniong American farmers. ere ation of a federal farm board and establishment of a fund to assist ln carrying surplus crops from season to season is viewed by Secretary Jardine as the most effective means of improving the troubled agricul- tural situation.
 This plan was outlined by the sec retary in an article written for the current issue of the Farm Journal, a Philadelphia publication.
 Two avenues of approach were seen-control of surpluses due prin- cipally to weather conditions and a better adjustment of production to the requirements of the market.
 In handling surpluses, MT. Jardipe said. much could be accomplished through "commodity stabilization' corporations operated by the farm- CTS, the essential function of which would be to take off the market temporarily such amounts of con- modity as would prevent the price from falling to a ruinously low lev el. These corporations. he said, should be guided by the advice Of federal board.

Convention Chairman Is McAdoo

Rapid City. s. D.. Aug.

 F. w. Bilger, chairman of demo- cratic state committee. told the United Press today that he had is- sued a call for a democratic pow WOW at that time. He has invited every county chairman in the state and the entire state central com- mittee-64 in all

 However. democrats here have never before gotten together in such a meeting prior to the regular dem ocratic state convention which is called to select candidates for pro- pcsal men at the peculiar primary they hold here. The convention to select proposal men will be held in February and the primary will be held in May to choose national con- vention delegates.
 The real purpose Of summoning an early unofficial convention is to decide what will be done about the Smith movement; to determine how democratic leaders throughout the state feel toward Smith.
 There has been much Smith talk out here. In 1924 South Dakota went for McAdoo and stuck to him to the last. North Dakota. which has much the same ideas regarding politics. gave Smith six votes. It IS understood that Smith men nave been through both states recently, sounding out sentiment among dem- ocrats and making all possible ar engagements to swing the state to their candidate at the next conven- ton.
 There is no idea Of swinging the. state to McAdoo again. it is said. but some leaders are reluctant to go to Smith and they want to fght out the question among themselves before the convention or primary.

 Little Bill Johnston was consid- cred a strong candidate for the No. ? position. He is expected to get stiff opposition from George Lott. Lewis N. White. John Doeg, Francis T. Hunter and John Hennessy.
 Dick Williams probably will be a member Of the team. The makeup of the doubles combination is ex- tremely uncertain. Tildcn probably will form half Of the team. but the other member may be Williams. Hunter or any one of the young sters.
