roads, and as human sacrifices, espe-
cially Of criminals, formed part Of the
ritual, these spots came to be regarded
as execution grounds. After the in

Republican members of Congress
from the Midwest and the West are
likely to seek important reforms in
the agricultural adjustment act at
the coming session Of Congress, ac-
cording to Representative Clifford r.
Hope Of Kansas. Mr.. Hope repre-
sents q great wheat-producing district
in Western Kansas. These amend
ments viii take shape Of more local
control Of the farm programs, with
less autocratic power left in the
hands Of the Secretary of Agriculture
and the administration in Washing
ton. They will seek also better bal
ance between the farmers dollar and
the industrialist's dollar. Mr.. Hope
claims that such q balance has been
prevented by poor liaison between
the A. A. A. and the N. r. A. The
latter has forced higher the prices of
the things which the farmer must
buy to an extent that the parity of
the farmers dollar with that Of the
industrialist's has failed to ma
terialize at all despite the fact that
farm prices have considerably ad-
vanced during the last year. While
the farmers Of the West desire in
many instances to retain the benefits
Of the A. A. A. program they are irked
constantly by bureaucratic regulation
and administration from Washing
ton. Mr.. Hope insists that Western

4 N opinion rendered by the
~ Attorney General of the United
~ States to the Secretary of War
a definitely fixes the latter as
the determining authority for
the availability of public quarters for
Army officers on duty at the camps
of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
More than 5000 officers will benefit as
result of this decision, which settles
a controversy since the establishment
OF the first camps nearly a year ago.
Army officers without dependents who
have been on duty in the forests have
been the victims of decisions Of the
Controller General which have oper-
ated to authorize rental allowances
In some cases, while others have been
denied this allowance.
Upon the establishment Of the first
camps, some officers were ordered to
corps area headquarters from which
headquarters they were ordered to
temporary duty at the camps. These
officers were authorized rental allow
ances. Later, when the forestry prof.
ect had settled down, and CORPS area
commanders knew what camps were
in need of officers, officers called to
this DUTY were sent direct from their
homes to the work camps.
Denied Allowances.
This procedure, under an interpre-
tation by the Controller General, con-
Stituted an assignment to a permanent
station, and the officers concerned
were denied rental allowances, based
on the theory that a voluntary occu-
pancy of a tent or shack indicated

or shack was adequate

that such tent or shack was adequate
quarters. In the concluding part of
his opinion, the Attorney General
pointed out that 'it is my opinion
that the Secretary Of War may make
an official determination as to any
past periods Of time that there have
been no public quarters available at
Civilian Conservation Corps work
camps within the meaning Of existing
laws providing for rental allowances,
and that such determination is con-
elusive as to the right Of officers
concerned to rental allowance accrued
during such periods Of time"
May Get Back Funds.
This indicates that officers who
have been on this duty and coming
within the above described condi-
tions. will be entitled to receive back
Communication for quarters.
