FRENCH MAY TRY
 CHAIN STORES

4sParis--(UP)--The next step in the Amcricanization of France may be the chain-store. Red and green store fronts and white-aproned clerks won't harm0nize with sleepy French villages. but they may soon invade the countryside.
 The French ministry of com mcrce Is studying this merchandise Ing project, popular in both North and South Ancricn. because of tho mounting costs of living here.
 Although the French instinctive- Iy dislike the chain store iden. commerce ministry officials arc convinced that 1t has in the Amer icns reduced the number of go- betweens. It is an economic par- adox in this country that at time when all prices should be low. since consumers are more thrifty to-day than ever. the cost of cer- tain foods is dispropoFtionately
 "A bas les intermed d!ares!" is the slogan tosday of farmer and con sumer. Tn other words. "wlpc out the parasiticai go-between.
 Figures cited by q. de Pawloslsi, Franco Polish economist, have just brought the situation to head. He does not specifically rccom- mend the chain store as q remedy. but that solution iB implied Tn his remarks.
 France has flow chain store Ero- cery organizations. like Felix Poe tin and Julien Dam0y. but these are not highly organized.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Dec z7-(UP)- Mondays scBsion of the senate ju- diciary committee was one of tho most unusual and informal recent gatherings of . legislative group in the capital.
 The meeting was held around the cherry fireplace in the quiet and almost deserted senate ofiice building. Most of the committee members too kadvantaG of tho Christmas holiday, so quorum was lacking and nothing official could be done about the bill. New ertheless, the senators who did go to the meeting decided to make the best of 1t.
 Stretching out before tho fire, they discussed the beer bill amiabiy with prohibition leader and newspaper man, the conversation being spiced with jokes and anec- dotes.
 Someone proposed to Senator Blaine. Wisconsin wet, that the committee members mako person. al tests of the proposed 3.2 per cent beer to sec if 1t would be in- toxicating.
 Well, I'll have none of that bcer," he said, unless you heat a poker red hot in that fireplace and ram 1t into .the beehk."
 Blaine quickly explained to his su prrised colleabues that that was the way to make "mullcd" beer very tasty, too. {
 Speculation about the availabil- ity of Alfred E. Smith as gevcr- nor-generai of the Philippines, in- spired at Manila to head off talk regarding other possible selections, has become . favorite theme of gossip among Filipino politicians.
 Smith Is greatly liked and ad- mired by tho Philippines, but some arc uneasy at mention of his name. They think Smith has such a tre- mendous grip on the American public that if he went to Manila his personal activities would over- shadow interest here in all other Philippine developments.

FARMERS MIGHT REPUDIATE ALL
 INDEBTEDNESS
They See Europe Doing It and That May Be One Way for Them to Get Out
By RAYMOND CHAPTER

United Press Stnff Correspondent
 Washington, Dec 27-(UP)-- Many new and bewiidering farm bounty places are being urged by q farm belt beset by the difficulties that come with another crop year.
 one movement has spring up In Iowa seeking action by state legis- Iatures to cancel taxes on land taken out of cultivation.
 Another proposes Q direct bounty from congress to be paid to far mers for reducing yields.
 With 40 legislatures meeting soon, many variations of these fun damental plans will be proposed. Meantime congress is pressing dis cusslon of q bounty plan evolved out of the domestic allotment scheme. Proposals for morator- iums of farm mortgage payments also are being talked of more ser siously in congress.
 There is little hope of complete action in Washington before the end of the Hoover administration. but President-elect Roosevelt has indicated he will call special session if farm relief is not grant ed this session.
 The drive for relief now comes not only from the farmers who have been praying for its ten years.
 It is coming now from the United States Chamber of Com- merce, from insurance companies who see their farm mortgage . holdings ieopardized. ,ss x s.s
 It comes from broad-guage businessmen everywhere who req Iize that until the other half of the nation Is able to buy, there will be no profits in the cities.
 These groups once viewed any suggestion of q subsidy or bounty with horror. But several thousand bankers have learned from the R. r. C., about direct help from the government. The farmers have seen European nations default on debts even when they had tho gold. Farmers have seen big business go into bankruptcy and wipe out overhead debts.
 Now farmers with SIC. .00o. .00O,- 900 mortgage burden and an an- nual farm income cut down to a. bout $5,000, ,000, 900 arc concluding that unless they get relief they will be compelled to repudiate their load of debt.
 One relief plan wo being talked up in advance of the meeting of the Iowa legislature calls for can cellntion of taxes on idle acres.
 Another plan before the United States Chamber of Commerce agri- cultural committee would provide that farmers who restricted acre. gac could drawn bounties from ths federad treasury at the rate of $5 an acre for corn, $4 for wheat and g for oats.
 Tho very fact that the chamber gives calm consideration to such proposals us these constitutes q change of attitude which gives new hope to the farm belt regard less of the outcome.
