FINAL CONCERT
FOR CHILDREN

Children. who after all are our
severest critics, demonstrated that
they love DR.. Hans Kinder for
his thoughtfulness in presenting
another concert just for them
and hated to admit that Satur'
days was the last of the series,
given by the National Symphony
Orchestra at the Central High
School Auditorium.
1t would be safe wager that
a large number of them will
stretch themselves into taller
children and attend the final
young peoples concert next Sat,
urday: when medals will be pre-
sented several for their winning
letters of their impressions of the
concert.
Refreshed in singing Dixie" "
! the children vigorously applauded
the orchestra's rem ndition of
''Pomp and Circumstance" in a
manner that must have beto
kened a keen appreciation of con,
cert music. The young boys,
naturally, liked the drum demon
tration.
Other selections were EN-
trance of the Gods Into Walhal,

ANY ADJOURNMENT
Of ARMS PAR[EY
U. S. Delegation Head Makes
Recommendation to Sir

CONFERENCE IN RECESS
NOW UNTIL THURSDAY
Sir John Simon and Paul l-Boncour
to Miss Steering Commit
tee Session.

GENEVA, October 24-Norman H.
Davis, head of the American delegation
to the Disarmament Conference, rec
commended to Sir Arthur Henderson
today that any adjournment of the
parley should be limited.
Disarmament should not be dropped.
Davis told the British representative,
who also is head of the conference,
now in recess until October 26.
Adjournment Seen.
Reports that neither Sir>John Simon,
British foreign secretary. nor Joseph
Paul-Boncour, foreign minister in the
resigned French cabinet, would come
to Geneva tomorrow for the meeting
of the Steering Committee and the
conference session the following day
were interpreted in some quarters as
meaning that the conference was
headed toward some sort of an ad-
journment.
Journal des Nations stigmatizing
what it called adjournment maneuvers,
demanded that the governments choose
between two solutions
The first of these is to dissolve the
conference, frankly announcing that the
German situation at present does not
permit limitation and reduction Of
ornaments. The second is to 60 ahead
and formulate a disarmament conven-
ton applicable to all countries except
Germany, basing this action on the
principle that German ornaments
already are limited by the treaty Of
Versailles.
Surprise Forecast.
Some quarters forecast that the
smaller states may resist any move to
allow the arms par!ey to collapse and
may spring a surprise at the Steering
Comn1ittee meeting and the full session
conference.
Another complication was seen in the
fact that Russia and Turkey are op-
posed in principle to the plan Of Sir
John, which was the immediate cause
Of Germany bolting the conference
This is on the grounds that they did
not participate in drafting the plans.

Further Deliveries.

CHICAGO. October "a (P.-A new
sector-a part Of Illinois-today had
been added to the agricultural war"
for higher prices. while picketS increased
their activities in Iowa, home of the
farm strike movement.
The news that a group Of Illinois
farmers, estimated to number 1000, had
voted at Kankakee to join the anti
selling campaign, was followed quickly
by reports from Western Iowa that
picketS had stopped trucks loaded with
farm products bound for the important
market center of Omaha
Two groups of farmers, numbering
l25 or more, halted about 20 trucks
early today at Oakland, Iowa, while
several others loaded with hogs were
stopped at Crescent. At the latter point
the drivers were warned not to attempt
any further deliveries to Omaha.
We mean business" one of the
pickets told driver. Turn that truck
back and don't come back"
Trucks Turned Back.

market were turned back, while from

of load of milk was spilled by farm
pickets before it could be delivered to
a condensery at Vesper
The action of the Illinois farmers
came after they had listened to Milo
Reno of DeS Moines president of the
National Farmers Holiday Association,
which sponsored the anti-selling dri :,
with the idea of raising farm prices
and forcing the Federal administration
to give agriculturalists an N. r. A.
Reno told the Illinois group the ad-
ministration's farm relief program was
"idiotic'' and attacked Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, declaring he should
be known as the Secretary OF Wall
Street"
Committee Named.
The Illinois farmers, who met under
the auspices of the United Farmers OF
Illinois, adopted resolution asserting
they would refuse to market farm prod
uce for less than the cost of produc-
ton. They named a committee to work
out strike plans, but did not fix date
for it's first meeting.

National Recovery Administration
codes for the construction industries
are at a stage where Administrator
Hugh S. johnson and President Roose-
velt soon must rule on the proposal that
wage boosts will be withheld for a year
as an inducement to investors.
This plan, formulated by economists
and deputy administrators in charge of
the capital goods industries, is based
on the contention that mandatory in
crease in wages one year hence and
second step-up later will tempt capital
to come out of hiding Immediately and
start a mild rise in construction that
will prevent a sudden boom later when
demand is acute. Labor is bitterly op-
posed and expects to make itself heard
at the White House.
Before the question Is confronted deh-
nitely, johnson is expected to announce
his reorganization of N. R. A. as a semi
permanent administration unit subdi-
charge of major industrial groups. In
cluded also is Nationwide structure OF
enforcement Offices to supervise opera
tion of codes and obtain voluntary COM

the small towns in which are hundreds
of thousands of miscellaneous trade

who depends on farm trade for exist
