Jobless Build Log Cabins
 n sBack-tO-Farm' Movement

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-More log cabins have been built this year than at any time since Abe Lin- celn was a railsplitter, Harry R. O,Brien of Columbus, Ohio, said to a group of agricultural engin- eers here.
 It is part Of the "back-to-the farm" movement, caused by un- employment, said OBrien, an ag- riculture writer. He said he had seen new log cabins from the Ohio River to the wilds of Ontario, and that they extended as far west as Kansas and Oklahoma.
 Since 1930, millions of jobless have left the cities he declared. Most of them made homes on marginal lands, where there were many vacant houses. For many, i. was a return to the places they left during the industrial boom during the war
 O'Brien deplored the economic situation that forced families to live in abandoned houses or to erect hurriedly some type Of rough shelter. In Oklahoma he said, the dugouts used by settlers again are appearing.
 The structures ana power ano machinery divisions of the Ameri- can Society of Agricultural Engin- eers met here recently to discuss technical problems. O'Brien ane ether speakers urged co-operatlor between engineers, lumber compan' .es and other groups in aiding thf construction of adequate and ec' onomical homes.

Politics to Stir If Moses
 Writes Republican Publicity
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Were the Republicans to decide, and it is rumored they might, to put Senator Moses of New Hampshire in charge of their publicity forces during the coming Democratic era, the game of politics would perhaps take on new zip the next four years.
 For that witty, wise-cracking New Englander, defeated last Mo- vember in his attempt to return to the Senate could be expected to let loose in lively fashion.
 He was newspaperman before he became a Senator and knows ali the tricks of the game.
 For many years Moses has been recognized wit and satirist in the Senate. He has in turn de- lighted infuriated and coweo those on capitol hill with his sharp tongue and repartee.
 What he could do in a job where these things count for much, any, one familiar with politics at al can guess.

A GOOD OPPORTUNITY

Considering all this then, and also keeping in mind that Moses is the man who described his in- surging Republican brethren in the Senate as sons of wild jackasses' and has at other times lashed out with his tongue in telling fashion, what could he do in a job where he could employ his talents at will?
 He is on record as having said that he expects to be active, much more action than I ever thought in the near future"

And there's some very good evil dence, perhaps, that Moses would find such a job very much to his liking at the moment.
 His defeat at the hands Of the baseball, sports-loving Fred H. Brown, a Democrat-although 1t was by the comparatively slim margin of 2.117 votees-(eft the Senator smarting.
 He is not the kind of man who takes defeat easily. He had his heart set on another term in the Senate and worked hard to real. ize that ambition.
 That he doesn't feel altogethel resigned and philosophical abou it, perhaps, is evidenced by hi intimation that he was victim Of concerted treachery."
