BOARD OF CONTROL
HELD FARM HOPE
Hyde Tells Conference Or
ganization Would Supervise
Crops and Marketing.
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, December 10.-An organ
ization of farmers bread enough to
plan production and control marketing,
coupled with adequate tariff protection,
are the hope of agriculture, Arthur M.
Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, told the
American Farm Bureau Federation to-
day.
THE root of our troubles is over
production" he asserted.
1.-THE job Immediately ahead of us is
twofold; to stop uneconomic expansion
to new lands; to get Improbable SUBJ
marginal land out of crop production,
and by direct positive action on the
part of farmers themselves, to regulate
the acreage in crops"
In the balancing of American crops
against market demands, he said
tariff protection is of fundamental
Importance"
Curtailment Is Solution.
He ridiculed the theories of those
who argue that the whole answer to
the problem of farm distress Is the
reduction of production costs, and who
assert that it is the inability of the
world to buy foods and fibers that causes
SURPRISES.
I merely want to inquire" he said,
whether any member of the Farm
Bureau Federation want to live out of
any price that India and China can
AFFORD to pay for wheat, or such price

BILL WOULD END
TRAFFIC DIRECTOR
District Commissioners Seek
Consolidation in Measure
Sent to Congress.

The draft Of bill abolishing the Of
fee Of the director of traf1c and trans
ferring all of its powers to the District
Commissioners was sent to Congress by
the District Commissioners today with
request for its passage at this session.
This bill was redraft of the first bill
on the subject, introduced by the Com
misSioners December /.
1t had been expected that the only
changes to be introduced would be to
define more closely the respective juris-
dictions of the Public Utilities Commits
sion and the District Commissioners
but when the bill was given out for
publication this morning It was diScoy-
cred that its terms seek to legislate the
Office Of the director of traffic out of
existence. The Commissioners first bill
had simply given them power to APP
point a director of traffic In accordance
with the personnel classification act
and to remove him for cause, and left
them the power to keep the traffic d.
rector's office an independent organiza-
ton or to make it part of the Police
Department or any other department
they saw Mt.
Complete Power Granted.
When questioned on this difference
today. Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby,
who has charge of traff1c matters, said
that the Commissioners have not
changed their minds between the dis
patching of the two bills. He said that
this bill must not be taken to mean
that the present traffic organization
would be abolished If the bill is passed
or that 1t would not. He said his view
was that the bill gave the Commission
ers power to abolish the Office If they
saw mt, or to keep it, or. to change the
title of traffic director to traffic engi-
neer, or to make any similar adjust
ments. The language of the act reads:
In section (a), the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia are hereby
authorized and empowered to make,
modify and enforce usual and reason
able laws and regulations relating to
the regulation of vehicles, the control
of traffic the registration of motor
vehicles and the issuance and revoca-
ton of operators permits and to ex-
ercise any power or perform any duty
imposed on the director of traffic, which
Office is hereby abolished, and in the
administration of the above powers

LONDON, December 10.-In what
amounted to a slashing attack on
Britain'S internal financial policies, Lord
Inchcape, shipping magnate, today de-
clared he never had known trade to be
so bad as in the past few months, and
he predicted that "the prospects for

He spoke at an annual meeting Of

and attributed the gloomy situation to
too lavish hand in the payment of
doles to the unemployed"
THE man who earns good income
by means of his own brains and in
dustry," he said. sis now called upon
to contribute so per cent of his earnings
for income tax and super tax while he
Is alive, and in many cases death duties
absorb half his estate when he dies"
Such taxes he characterized as raids
on the fruits of industry" and declared
that a large part Of such revenue for
the government constitutes reckless

FAUST CONSIDERED
FOR JUDGES lob
May Succeed Justice Hitz
When Latter Takes Place
on Court of Appeals.

The name of Frederick de c. Faust,
who has been practicing law in this
city for number of years, has been
added to those known to be under
serious consideration by President Hoo
yer for appointment to the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia to
succeed Justice william Hitz when the
latter is elevated to the Court of APP
peals.
Mr.. Faust is by no means a candi-
date for this bench appointment. His
name was presented at the White House
and his qualifications outlined by
friends without his knowledge. When
further inquiry was made into his rec
ord, Mr.. Faust soon doomed up as a
serious contender, it is understood.
May Get Higher Post.
There is some possibility of his being
considered for the Court of Appeals,
where there will still be vacancy even
after the promotion of Justice Hitz.
However. there is some feeling that the
remaining vacancy on this higher local
court may go to some one outside of
the District of Columbia. H. Prescott
Galley, a local attorney, also is being
considered for this high court.
James N. Proctor, local attorney and
former assistant United States attorney
for the District, is known to be among
pthose being seriously considered for
appointment to succeed Justice Hitz.
He was proposed by the District Bar
Association and by the Republican State
Committee in and for the District of
Columbia.
Among others known to have been
suggested are Paul Sleman of Chevy
Chase, Md, who was proposed by Sena-
tor Goldsborough of that State; E. A..
Hartman, Robert Mcneil and H. Win
ship Wheatley.
All Are Investigated.
All of these names have been sent
by the WHITE House to the Department
OF Justice for inquiry and for report
as to individual qualifications. To a
large degree 1t will be upon the recon-
menoatlons OF the Attorney General
that President Hoover will make his
selections for these local bench places
With the exception of MIR. Faust
these other names have been previ-
ously made public. Mr.. Faust is a
native of this city, having been born
here Sc years ago. For a number of
years he was trust officer of the Metro
politan National Bank. He started his
career as page in the United States
Supreme Court and later became a
deputy marshal in that court.
During that period he studied law at
the old Columbian Law School, gradu-
ating In 1893. He became a special at
torney at the Department of Justice in
1904, where he remained until 1918. At
that time he entered upon the practice
Of law here.
At the White House it was indicated
that the Presidents appointment of
Justice Hitz to the Court of Appeals
would probably be made within the
next two weeks. It is not known now
whether he will be in a position to fill
the remaining vacancy on this court at
that time. 1t is thought, however, that
the President will wait until Justice
Hits confirmed by the Senate be-
fore announcing his successor on the
Supreme Court.
