Mrs. Henry W. Peabody
Declares.

Characterizing the return Of legalized
liquor or beer or wines while the
eighteenth amendment still stands, as
more dangerous than war, Mrs. Henry

deep mourning when and If liquor

FEDERATION SEEKS
FARM RELIEF LAWS
Delegates From 43 States
Attend Annual Session
in Chicago. 3
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO December 5.-Agriculture
raised its voice today to ask again for
economic aid through legislation.
From 43 States came delegates to the
annual convention Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, largest Of the
three main groups of organized farmers.
At almost the same hour Congress
convened for its short session, Edward
A. ONeal Of Alabama was scheduled to
give his presidential address before the
Farm Bureau.
Before the three-day convention will
come the weighty problems OF over
whelmtng crop surpluses and falling
prices, of foreign consumption and re-
stricted markets, increasing taxes and
mortgage foreclosures.
Report Faces Delay.
Demands upon Congress for farm re-
lief are expected to be renewed. The
form they will take is being determined
by a Resolutions Committee, whose re-
port Is understood to be facing possible
delay.
The equalization fee relief theory,
twice vetoed by President Coolidge
since its 1925 convention, has been the
Farm Bureaus dominant proposal for
controlling SURPRISES and increasing the
cash return to the farmer for his crops
and live stock.
O'Neal became Farm Bureau president
when his predecessor, Sam H. Thomp-
son of Illinois, resigned to become a
member Of the Federal Farm Board.
A year ago he was elected to his first
full two-year term.
Support Amendments.
Soon afterward the Farm Bureau,
Farmers Union and National Grange
agreed to support, as amendments to
the agricultural marketing act, the
equalization fee, export debenture or
any other plan for making effective the
tariff on farm commodities consumed
within the United States.
With the domestic allotment plan,
newest addition to the series of pro-
posed farm relief laws, the equalization
fee and the export debenture received
Farm Bureau support as part Of the
Rainey-Norbeck bill. Otherwise, O'Neals
organization has never gone on record
in support Of other plans.

RADIO BOARD RULING
REVERSED BY COURT
Justices Groner and Hitz Dissent
From Opinion in Mid
west Case.

The District Court of Appeals today
reversed the action Of the Federal Radio
Commission which had granted the ap-
plication Of the Johnson Kennedy Radio
Corporation (Station WJKSl of Gary,
Ind, assigning it a frequency of $50
kilocycles, which had been shared by
Station WHO and Station WPCC Of
Chicago.
The majority opinion was rendered
by Justice Charles H. Robb, while JUS
t1ces D. Lawrence Groner and William
Hitz dissented. The point raised by
the majority opinion was that the de-
cision of the commission way arbitrary
and capricious. 1t was pointed out that
Station WHO had been broadcasting
for more than two years and Station
WPCC more than three years when
Station WJKS entered the field.
THE only apparent reason" said JUS
tice Robb, "for granting the application
Of Station WJKS and destroying the
other two stations Is that Indiana Is
underquota, which in the circumstances
furnishes no substantial Justification for
the decision Of the commission. The
two stations have been and are serving
public interest, convenience and neces-
sity, certainly to as great extent as the
applicant station"

GENEVA. December 5.-The four
big powers of Europe and the United
States set out today to gain definite
progress toward world disarmament be-
fore Christmas, with an American
warning before them to the effect that
mere window dressing" will not be
satisfactory
The American delegation also made
it plain 1t understood all five nations
were entering the discussions with the
understanding that the basis of the pro-
ceedings was disarmament, pure and
simple"
The Americans said the question OF
equality. raised by Germany last Sum-
mer, when she withdrew from the con-
ference, and security, paramount
issue with France, were not to be
fundamentals of the conversations.
Japan Interested Spectator.
Originally the meeting was called for
the announced purpose of getting Ger
many back into the conference, but the
American statement would indicate that
the talks were going beyond the an
nounced intention.
The remaining nation Of the worlds
big six"-Japan-also was an inter-
ested spectator. During the week end
her representative, Tsuneo Matsudaira,
and Norman Davis, the American dele
gate. arranged a conference for today,
presumably to discuss the Japanese
naval disarmament plan which was
launched recently 1t differs in many
respects from the British and Ameri-
can ideas.
Get Preliminary Ideas.
Fully accredited diplomats from all
five of the nations participating in the
conversations, which were formally
called for today, were on hand or EN-
route this morning.
They included Mr.. Davis, Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald Of Great
Britain, Premier Edouard Herriot OF
France, Foreign Minister Baron Kon-
stantin Won Neurath of Germany and
Augusta Rosso, Italy's arms expert.
First conversations began Saturday
but were held to preliminary business
because of the absence Of Baron Won
Neurath, held in Berlin during the
cabinet crisis there. He left the Ger
man capital yesterday.
The American delegation spent yes
terday getting preliminary ideas for an
arms convention down on paper, and
it was understood Others of the big
five" were doing the same thing.
