GENEVA, Oct. 1S.-Ital-
ian delegates today unoffi-
cially suggested Premier
Mussolini as mediator in the
tangled arms problems as DIR.
Rudolph Nadolny, chief Ger
man delegate, left for Berlin
apparently resentful of the
plan to introduce a formal
resolution which in effect
would bar the Reich from
any defensive ornaments.
DIR. Nadolny will confer in
Berlin with his chief. Chan
cellor Hitler. German circles
here said they expected Pres
ident Won Hindenburg as
commander in chief of the
German standing army to
share with the chancellor the
responsibility of deciding
Germany's arms position.
A German spokesman said
today any attempt to haul
up Germany and ask her to
sign on the dotted line on a
disarmament decision impos-
ed by others will be followed
by a withdrawal of Germans
from the conference and per-
haps from the League Of Ma
tions.
Nadolny is reported to
have told German newspa-
pers that other powers are
trying to impose their will on
the Reich.
He is also said to have
mentioned the uselessness of
continuing conversations
here.

South Halls Fine Roosevelt Cattle
Bred From Scrawny Scrub Stock
eeeseeeeAeeeeass
BY EDWIN HOLMAN
(By Associated Pressl

ATLANTA, Oct. 13.-Blood
will tell, and President Roosevelt
has given added proof of the say
ing with experiments in cattle
breeding at his farm, near Warm
Springs, Ga.
Recently he sent the cattle to
] the Southeastern fair in Atlanta,
and crowds flocked to the pens to
see and marvel.
Livestock producers, particular
ly, were interested to see calves
dominated by characteristics OF
their registered Hereford sire, al
though they were only two gen
erations removed from the worst
sort of scrub cows.
Mother Moo Cow Eclipsed
Broad of back, staunch of hind
quarters and straight-faced like
the thoroughbred bull on the
Roosevelt farm, the yearlings bore
little resemblance to their raw
boned. dish-faced dams only one
step removed from the common
variety of moo cow"
Long before Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came President he found intense
interest in efforts to develop the
/. livestock industry in Georgia and
the south.
Realizing that many southern
farmers have small means for OBJ
tanning expensive thoroughbreds,
he hit upon the plan overlooked
by many livestock men-the de-
velopment of choice beef cattle
from scrawnv native cows through
proper breeding.
Expert Called In
The plan involved too big a
problem for an amateur in animal
husbandry, which Mr.. Roosevelt
professed himself to be; so he
called in an expert, Tap Bennett
OF the United States department
of agriculture and the Georgia
agricultural extension service.
The first thing Bennett did was
obtain the splendid bull that sired
the herd Of 100 head now grazing
in the 1,200-acre pasture along
the slopes Of Pine Mountain.
The first calves out of scrub
mountain cows had few charac-
teristics of their sire save for
white faces. But the second
breeding produced the, calves that
caused the fair crowds to marvel.
And now Bennett is confident
the third breeding will bring forth
beef cattle similar to top-grade
steers from the midwest that were
exhibited in pens adjoining those
of the bonv cows and their aristo-
cratic-looking offspring.

HUEY LONG WILL
BE KEPT BUSY in
HIS HOME STATE
MANY OF HIS ACTIVITIES IN
GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS
WILL KEEP HIM ON ALERT
IN LOUISIANA
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
ivy AsNoctnfea Isress,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.--Those
who desire to keep an eye on Huey
Long and his activities during the
next few months shouldn't look
for Washington date line in the
newspapers. They'll have to look
for one from Louisiana.
For, from all indications, that is
where the "Kingfish. will do most
of his jousting during the fall and
early winter. Three things prom
Use to keep him at home and on his
toes.
First, the senate committee may
resume its investigation Of alleged
election Irregularities at any time
now.
Secondly, the New Orleans dis
trict attorney is all set to prose-
cute the 60-odd persons in connec-
ton with alleged ballot box "scan-
dial" recently uncovered in the
state.
Thirdly, the all-important may
orally election in New Orleans
comes in January.
Any one Of these may cause
trouble. With the three hanging
over his head, Huey plans to be on
the battlefield.
Looking To Albany
The intriguing angle to the POI
litical situation in the New York
city mayoralty fight, from the
standpoint of Washington observ-
ers, is the possible bearing it may
have on the future of Postmaster
General Farley.
While Mr.. Roosevelt has made
it plain that he will take no part
in the affair, his postmaster gem
erals position is another thing en-
tirely. big JIM it must be re-
membered, is chairman not only
of the national democratic commit
tee. but the New York state com
mittee as well.
All of this talk of running an
independent democrat against
Tammany Halls Mayor O'Brien.
and Farley,s reported connection
with It. has aroused speculation in
Washington as to whether the post
master general has ambitions to
be governor of New York some
day.
In another year Farley should
have cleaned up his duties in
Washington fairly well. The pat
ronage snarl should be pretty wen
untangled by that time and va
rious odds and ends of the last
campaign gathered in.
The governors chair at Albany
might not be such bad place.
Their Vacation Too
Young Jimmy Rooseyelt's de-
parture from Boston for trip
abroad probably is welcomed in
gterlude for the democratic lead
1ers of Massachusetts. Il. Jimmy's
sivity in regard to patronage in
the state has had the old-timers
guessing and bit worried.
Emphasis on the dramatic holds
true with the NRA. The long
and stubborn wrangle over the
coal code aroused the whole coun-
try. Each step was followed
eagerly. Yet the retail code. con-
sidered by many as of much great
or Importance. was handled with
little show and drama as conn
pared TO coal.
