AUSTRIA WOULD
STRENGTHEN ARMY
Petitions France, Britain and
Italy for Shorter Period
of Enlistment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, August 7.-Austria has prf-
vately petitioned the governments Of
England, France and Italy to permit
her to increase her military strength,
it was declared today on good authority.
To grant the permission would have
drastic effect on the enforced dis
arming of all Of the former central
powers commentators predicted.
Under the treaty of st. Germain uni
versal compulsory military service was
abolished in Austria and the army W.
limited to 10000 men. Officers must do
active service for 20 years and the
enlistment period for non-commis-
stoned officers and privates must not be
less than II years.
Austria now wants a much lower
enlistment period in order that
greater number of men can serve In
the army in successive classes. Thus
the trained military would be many
times larger without actually increas-
ing the army strength beyond 10000
in any one year.
Lessons National Spirit.
In making her request Austria ex-
planned to England, France and Italy
that the fact that the army was small,
professional and long term had kept
the vast majority of young men from
Joining, thus lessening national spirit
among the youth.
A more rapid army turnover, the
Vienna government contended, would
increase the national spirit and would
render Austria more independent, thus
preventing the spread Of tendencies to-
ward AnSchluss or union with Ger
many.
In well informed circles the belief
was expressed that England, France and
Italy would favor granting the Austrian
request because Of the effect that ap-
proval might exert on the Anschluss
movement.
The question rises, If the request is
granted. whether the permission must
not also be extended to Germany, Hun
gary and Bulgaria. which are in the
same situation as Austria
Chancellor Hitler of GERMANY is
known to favor abolition of the long
term standing army of the Reich and
TO return to universal compulsory
service.
Czechoslovakia, it was understood.
has interposed objections to the AUS
trian request.

he plays with Frederic March in

U. S. CONTROL OF

Private Operation Raped
by TugWeII.
By United Press

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-The
government in the future will con-
troll the use of all land, public and
private, ReXford G. Tugwell, as
SiStant secretary of agriculture, said
in an address here today before the
American Economic Association,
American Statistical Association,
and Farm Economic Association,
meeting jointly.
Land which can not be operated
effectively under private ownership
will be held by the government as
public forests, parks, game preserves,
grazing ranges, recreation centers
and the like, Mr.. Tugwell asserted.
Privately-owned land will be con-
trolled TO whatever extent is found
necessary for maintaining con-
tinuous productivity" he said.
I'VE have depended too long on
the hope that private ownership and
control would operate somehow for
the benefit of society as a whole.
That hope has not been realized"

and Control Programs
Also Given.
VOLUME APPEARS SOON
More Complete Than Ever,
Says Editor Hoping 1t
Will End Disputes.

Approximately 1900 people Of
world prominence died during 1888,
according to advance copies of the
World Almanac and Book Of Facts
which will be on sale after Jan. T..
The World Almanac, long consid-
cred the final word in settling bets
and as a source of information, will
be about the same size as last year,
Robert Hunt Lyman, its editor for
eleven years, said today.
1T is even more interesting than
World Almanacs of past years, he
said, because of it's summarization
of the new deal and facts regarding
the repeal of prohibition and pro-
grams of liquor control by the
states.
LAS usual. we have bound the
world into the Almanac to the eX-
tent we almost include the flesh and

One of the most important fea-
lures of the 1884 Almanac, he
pointed out, is the blanket code and

other information about the schools,
are among the subjects considered
in the Almanac.

greater effort this year than in past

Aid to Children
Mr.. Lyman feels that 90 per cent
of the questions arising in the homes
of school children engaged in home
work can be answered by the Al
manac.
I'VE have recorded everything we
could think of, from planting crops
to the recently completed 30,000-mile
Lindbergh flight, and all his and
other fliers' records" Mr.. Lyman
said. The chronology alone takes
twenty-eight pages"
AS a source book, Mr.. Lyman feels
it is important, and he is glad it is
used to settle disputes, but Il wish
those corner bettors would get the
Almanac instead of calling me up to
settle the time of some race horse
back in 1925. or the length of an

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 29.-Wel,
l. Il here it is that time of year,
again. when critics throughout
the nation start doing the impcs-
sible-picking the ten best pic
lures of the year.
So here goes for the Thomas Sc
lection of the ten best American
made films in 1888, out of some
$50 films I have seen during the
year.
Without a doubt, the outstand-
ing of all films in my opinion was
Walt Disney'S Three Little Pigs"
Granted, it was a short subject
and had no living characters. But
there was more genuine enter
tainment crammed into that film
than in any other picture made
during the year.

The reported appearance of "sea SER

Five fishermen in boat were amazed

sinuous body, spotted green and yel-

lake. An ugly head appeared and
thrust its mouth feet into the air.
Before the frightened anglers reached
shore, the monster was gone.
Their story drew thousands during
the Summer. 1t appeared once more
for few minutes.
In 1857 a hotel burned. In the
wreckage was found a maze Of wire
