With the approach of the next annual
meeting of the American Pharmaceuti-
cal Association at Rapid City, s. Oak,
in the last week in August, the issue of
establishing pharmacy corps as part
of the Army Medical Department will
be revived. The proposal contemplated
in measures in the last Congress to eS-
tabliSh a pharmacy corps is destined to
be reintroduced in the next Congress.
Supporters of the movement to create
a pharmaceutical corps will meet with
some opposition in Congress, as there
are q considerable number OF Congress
men who are violently opposed to the
creation of any additional Federal
agencies.
congress will not be inclined to act
quickly on the proposal in view Of the
stand taken by Maj. Gen. Meritte w.
ireland, surgeon general OF the Army,
who for more than 10 years has an
nounced that the Army does not need
a separate pharmacy corps. With re-
spect to promotion, pay, allowances, etc,
it is pointed out by those who have
carefully investigated conditions in
civil life, that pharmacist who attainS
any of the upper uncommissioned
grades in the Medical Department with
the pay, subsistence and clothing al
lowance, with medical and dental at
tendance. quarters and retirement fea-
lures, authorized for those grades, is
better of financially and in numerous
other ways than his brother pharmacist
in civil life. whose average wage is
around $50 a week for correspondingly
longer hours OF work. Despite the
known opposition Of the surgeon general
to the establishment OF a pharmacy
rnrnc ~ ic nxnnRfod that the convention
at Rapid City will take definite action
on the proposal. and that with the con-
vening OF the next Congress A measure
providing for It's establishment will be
introduced for the consideration Of the

Approval has been given by the Quar-
termaSter technical committee OF the
soft.top boot, which converts the serV-
Ice shoe into q soft boot. This project
was conceived by Lieut.. Col. John s.
Chambers, QuartermaSter Corps, some
few months ago and 1t is favorably
looked upon by both Quartermaster and
infantry officers. The upper part OF
this new type Of footwear is attached
to the service shoe by means OF laces.
Having both the approval of Quarter
master and Infantry ofacers, q number
of samples will in all probability be
made up at the Quartermaster depot at
Jacksonville, Ind. These will be sent
to the Infantry board at Fort Benning,
where they will be given extensive serv-
ice tests to determine their suitability
for the service.
Much curiosity has been expressed by
some captains and ma jors in the Army
and Marine Corps. rs well as by lieu
tenants and lieutenant commanders In
the Navy and Coast Guard, as to why

mended that the pay of these ranks
should be increased but $500 for each

Just what was the reason back of the
boards recommendation that the pay
schedule for their branch should pro-
vide an increase of but $50 for each
three years service, as compared with
the $400 and $500 increase for the same
service recommended for commissioned
officers. However, this class OF officers

Only Oakland in the entire field

anything similar to it. All
other cars use the down flow
radiator, this despite the fact
that 13 of the 20 are higher
priced than Oakland. .
Only Oakland and. one other
car, costing 5000 more, use the
fine type of brakes described
opposite. And no car in the
field equals oakland's 200
square inches of brake band
area. Oakland's separate ener-
gency brake operates on the
transmission. Seven cars in the
field have no separate emer-
gency brakes, although three of
them exceed Oakland In price.

PEKINC UNDER
MARTIAL LAW
Labor Rising; Armies
Start Fighting Soon

PEKING, March 12.-On the eve
of the Kuomintang congress in
Marking, which opens Friday, this
city is virtually in state of siege.
The largest army near here is that
of General Pei Chung-hsi, who has
10000 men outside the walls. Pei
adheres to the Hankow, Canton
clique, which is opposed to Chang
Kai-shek. Pei and his Canton
friends have a British orientation,
and Chang may be with U. S. The
Kuomintang congress seems to be
thoroly packed by Chang, out of
its 359 official delegates, 267 are
virtually appointed by the central
committee, about half of them
frankly and openly so appointed.
No real delegates are allowed from
the territories controlled by generals
inimical to Chang.
Other armies in or near Picking
are those of Yen Hsi-shan, nomin-
ally the commander of this area,
and Fang Chen-wu, supposed to be
for Chang. Fang has 10000 men,
and fighting between Fang and Pei
may start any minute.
Today is Sun Yat-sen's birthday,
and demonstration of the workers
against all the military leaders and
for the slogans of the Communist
Party of China may take place.
Sun was friendly to the Soviet
Union, but the party he founded, the
Kuomintang, has fallen into ex-
tremely reactionary hands, and all
factions among its leaders Cypress
the workers and peasants, and ruth
lessly murder the labor unionists
and Communists.

Soviet Labor Unions
Alter Trade Schools
and Factory Training

MOSCOW, (By Mai).-Accord-
ing to a draft of the Central Coun-
Gil of Soviet Labor Unions, the
workers trades schools are to be
reorganized upon the following
basis: The factory schools will train
qualified and highly qualified work
ers for trades which require long
theoretical and practical training.
For trades which do not need long
training, special factory depart
ments will be established. In the
factories trade-technical courses will
be organized in order to increase
the qualifications of the qualified
workers.
The courses of the Central Labor
Institute will take and train work
ers at the special instructions OF the
higher economic authorities. This
institution will also occupy itself
with pedagogical work of an indus
trial nature. Trade training is to
be removed from the purview of the
PEOPLES Commissariat for Educa-
ton and placed under the Supreme
Economic Council. The labor unions
are to have decisive voice IN the
organization of undertaking.

u. S. Supreme Court
Still Evades Ruling
on Seven-Cent Fare

WASHINGTON, March II (UP).
The u. S. Supreme Court did not
hand down decisions on the New
York subway fare case or the ORAL
Ion railroad case at its meeting to-
day.
The O'Fallon case involves the
setting of precedent as to whether
railroads shall be evaluated at their
original cost or the cost to reproduce
them now. This is important as pro-
fits are allowed under the Inter
state Commerce Act at percentage
Of the valuation.
The New York seven cent fare
case has been before the Supreme
Court for some time. Tammany city
officials put up only perfunctory
fight against it, apparently intend
ing all the time to let the subways
get the seven cent fare. They want
the republican appointed Supreme
Court take the blame, however, and
the court holds back, for political
reasons.
Railroads won in Supreme Court
today a test case involving $4,000
900 awarded them by the Interstate
Commerce Commission for carrying
the mails.

Machado, U. S. Ruler
of Cuba, Proposes
Mutual Tariff Cuts

WASHINGTON, March IL U.P).
Heavy tariff concessions by Cuba to
American farm and manufactured
products in exchange for an increased
United States preferential for Cuban
sugar under the projected new Amer
lean tariff law were proposed in a
communication from Ambassador
Orestes Ferrara transmitted by Sec
rotary Kellogg, without any recon-
mendation, to the house ways and
means committee today.
Cuba outlined alternative propos-
ais for new Cuban-American tariff
relations, one providing for a COM
pletely new reciprocity treaty.
The Machado government of Cuba
is an auxiliary to the American
banking interests, and kills labor
leaders who conduct strikes on
American owned plantations. The
new tariff makes Cuba still more
like one of the American states.
