Col. C. T. Harris, Army War plan
expert, revealed today at the Sen
ate munitions inquiry.
Colonel Admits Plan
Colonel Harris admitted the
Arrny's plans to wipe out section
IA only after great hesitancy.
Senator CLARK ID of Missouri
asked:
"Hasn,t the War Department
discussed and virtually decided
to abrogate the NRA in the
next war;"
Col. Harris SAID:
"NOw, / dom VI mt you TO
reveal any military secret, but
isn't the War Department con-
sidering and aosat agreed TO
abrogate section IA?
CAN'T HAVE TWo BOSSES
'"You can't haFe two bosses
In time of war"
Senator Vandenhf.g RO' Of
Michigan asked
sUnder the prest ut set-up OF
the NRA, if it were retained
we would have two b0sses?"
Colonel Harris replied:
Certainly"
Harris also revealed the War
Department has prepared a plan
for the freezing of all prlces"
in event of war. He said a Sec
end plan for "piece-meal fixing
of prices" also had been prepared.
"DoeS the War Department
plan to fix prices by piece-meal,
then, or to freeze all prices 1T
some base period, prior to the
outbreak of war?"
"It will depend on conditions
ut the time"
MAXIMUMS PLANNED
"Will the plan for freezing of
prices contemplate the freezing
Of every price?"
Il think it would fix ceiling
for prices, above which they
can't go, but they could go
lower"
Might Conscript Labor
Colonel Harris evaded a mum
ber of questions about the de-
partment's plans for conscripting
labor. He finally said there
would be conscription of labor
"only if Congress passed a work
or fight bill"
The Army's new draft bill, al
ready prepared, would force
every male over 18 years old to
register. All males between 1S
and As would be subject to
military service.
The War Department has not
proposed universal conscription
Of industry in the next war be-
cause it would lead to confu-
sion instead of helping" Colonel
Harris said.
Senator Clark has announced
he will sponsor a bill in the next
Congress to commander all in
dustry at the outbreak of the
next war.

Stanley Green, from Leesburg,

of Washington, was second IN
this good class of riders.

81 entries, all ridden by women,
who are the best riders in the
show ring and hunting field
in America. What I would like
to do is to get him to Virginia
on a horse, for any one who
loves out of doors enough to
have his office there, and gives
so many trophies to sporting
events, should come to Virginia
and Maryland and ride.
MeLita II, winner of neally all
our best SteeplechaSeS last sea-
son and many before that, is
looking beautiful and fit these
days, and is in training. Nearly
every one knows he is owned
by Sumner Pingree, of Boston,
and is always trained and rid
den by Jack Skinner, of Middle
burg.
Melita's first race this fall
will be the New Jersey Hunt
Cup, about the middle of Octo-
Der. He is then pointed for the
Long Island Hunt Cup at West
Hills, and from there to two
meetings around Pittsburgh.
Engineer II, owned by Ray
mond Guest, and trained and
ridden by Jack Skinner, is also
training we'll. He won the War
renton Hunt Cup last year, was
then laid up and could not run
again. But good things are eX-
pected of him this fall.
Engineer II is entered first at
Southampton as a tryout, and
then is pointed for the Meadow
Brook Cup.
Jack Skinner has a good many
other brush horses he is work
ing over that 1 saw a few days
ago. One of them belongs to
Paul Mellon, another to Mrs.
Johnson Redmond. Jack is
training one of his own that I
like, and his name is Big Tip.
He is by The Porter, one of my
favorite horses. Big Tip is go
ing we'll now and will be raced
this fall, first on the flat at
William Duponts, Foxcatcher

later on at Middleburg, over

DIES MONIES, Iowa, February II.
Definite steps were taken this
week in Iowa to establish one Of the
Nations first subsistence farm colo
MES" The project is planned for
Granger, Iowa, center Of a coal
mining section, where chronic un-
employment has been lowering living
standards for more than a decade.
A call for appraisers from the
Omaha. Nebr., Federal Land Bank
was made last week, following in
structions rom the Department Of
Interior. The appraisers will esti-
mate the amount to be expended in
Federal money, from a fund Of s25,-
100000 established for the purpose,
to purchase the colony site.
Following recommendations Of q
local committee In Granger, q corpo-
ration will be established under the
sponsorship of the Department of
Interior. It is expected that ap-
proximately 800 acres will be pur-
chased first. This will be divided
in plots of an acre to acres each
and homes built on them.
Families purchasing the plots will
be encouraged to undertake inten-
sive, small-scale farming operations
sufficient to make them nearly inde-
pendent and to act as a buffer to un-
employment during periods when the
coal mines are not operating.
