FEDERAL FARM BOARD
 DESTRUCTIVE BUREAU

CHICAGO, Nov. B. Peter B. Carey, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, denounced the Federal Farm Board as the most "deSt1uctive and wasteful govern ment bureau and it has injured agriculture beyond measure, he said.
 Its bureaucratic laundering has curtailcd or destroyed our foreign markets for wheat, it begged prices, piled Up surpluses, and killed ex- port trade, it encouraged other countries to increase wheat pro- auction, it created resentment and inspired retaliatory tariffs against our wheat. The result has been the lowest wheat prices in history"

HITLER |s UNABLE ID OBTAIN C0-0PERAT|0N
 FORMATION CABINET

BERLIN, Nov. g, President von Hindenburg yesterday commission ed Adolf Hitler, Fascist leader, to formulate a cabinet and a program of action to meet Germany's dom- estic crisis, but strings were at tached to the request.
 Instead of the usual mandate to form cabinet, the President gave Hitler mission to attempt within a limited time, to submit his cabi- net nmeS and a program backed by authority or at least majority of the Reichstag.
 The President, according to those close to him, was loath to place Germany's fate in the hands of the Fascist leader, without attaching strings to the situation. The plan was the outcome of a 15-minute conversation between Hindenburg and Hitler.
 The Nazi leader declared himself ready to proceed and he said he was determined to muster enough support from other party leaders in the Reichstag to give his organ ization a majority.
 In other words, the President gave the Nazi leader a chance, but a chance which political observers believe is nearly impossible. Hitler's object is to muster enough sup port tc drive Communism from Germany, bring the Republican elements together and bring mili- tary and commercial equality with other nations, so desired by the citizens of Germany
 Up to late hour last night, Hit Ter after spending all day seeking cooperation from other parties. had been unsuccessful and Hinden- burg was said to be betting some what impatient.

M'BRIDE SEES SPLIT
FROM WET PLANKS
Head of Anti-Saloon League De-
clares Parties Will Break Up
Forces on Issue.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The assertion that move by either
of the major parties 20 help take away
the eighteenth amendment would lead
to a ''realignment of the forces within
these parties" was made yesterday By
F. Scott Mcbride, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League
The national political parties" he
said, have not been asked by us tc
write a dry plank to help secure
national prohibition. These same parties
certainly ought not now under pressure
from the liquor organizations use party
power to help take away the eighteenth
amendment"
Mcbride said constitutional prohibi-
ton always has been and is now non-
partisan issue" Any definite wet move
by political party, he added. would
'keenly affront" the dry majority In
Congress and the definite dry majority
In most of the State Legislatures.
such a program, now after prohibi-
ton has been adopted under consti-
tutional methods" he said, would be
an effort TO substitute party delegates
for United States Senators and Con-
gressmen in the matter of amending the
Constitution-and thereby circumvent
the provisions Of the Constitution re-
lating to amendments"

ECONOMY SLASH
: MAY ENDURE
TO 1884 !.
Organized Employees, However,
Determined to Offer
Resistance

Organized Government employees
this week began girding them
selves for a concerted assault on
Congress during the short session,
not only to dicourage further sal
ary reductions but even more to
prevent continuance Of the Econ
omy act provisions another year
after next June when most OF Its
restrictions end.
After it became known that the
Bureau of the Budget had noti-
fled all department heads they
must reduce salary estimates In
their 1894 budgets by 8.3 per cent,
and after Postmaster General
Brown recommended continuance
Of the present furlough-pay cut for
another fiscal year, the employe
groups got busy.
Slight Hope Seen
Pending the expected recon-
xnendations of extension Of the
Economy act by President Hoover,
the employees have little definite
to protest. However, Indignation
meetings of the various depart
mental groups are expected during
the coming few days, while the
educational campaign over the
country will be made more intense.
The American Federation Of
Government Employees sent a
Qlestionnaire this week to its
1000 members in all States, ask
ing detailed information as to the
effect of cuts inflicted by the
economy act upon the living
standards of the members. ~
Standards Lower
Salary figures, number Of de-
pendants, specific hardships-such
as doing without vacations, rent
ing cheaper apartments and the
hke-are among the subjects COW
cred in the QUESTIONABLE. Fed
Grafton officials say that em-
ployes have had to reduce their
standards Of living, and that tab
ulated information to this effect
will be presented to Congress.
The Federation will seek to
amend the act during the coming
short session, because of the many
furloughs in prospect after jan
Iary /.
Meanwhile the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees is con-
sidering asking merchants to alb
sorb part of the loss they have
suffered through wage cuts. by
granting lower prices. Norfolk
Federal employees have already
written merchants there, asking
q reduction of 8.3 per cent in the
price of articles purchased.
More than 5000 members Of
Departmental Local, No. 2, Fed
eral Employees Union, consider
seriously the selection of q pur-
chasing agent for members, to pool
buying power and obtain cash dis
counts for purchases in quantity.

COONTURNSOUT
To Be CAT

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.9-Cats
had better avoid two prize coon

The hounds are going about

dropped, after being humiliated
on a recent night coon hunt
staged by some Baltimore .cele-

Whether the dogs thought they

share their canine hostility to
cats, they aren't saying. Any
how after they had led the
hunters jubilantly through un-
derbrush for As minutes and

atop a tall oak, baying compla-
Gently at their find, the dogs
were hooted away by the scorn-
full men.
Even socially elite nimrods find
capturing a cat rather tame
sport, and pussy may still be in
the tree for all they care. That's
where they left her.
