Rigid and permanent control
over crop production must be ex-
ercised by the Federal Govern
ment If the American farmer is
to enjoy q place in the sun, Sec
retary Of Agriculture Henry A.
wallace declared today.
wallace outlined immediate new
objectives of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration as:
/. Inclusion Of cattle and
sugar in the list Of basic COM
mOdities, with . zoo million dol
lar appropriation to help the
range and dairy men.
3. A drastic gin licensing plan
10 control cotton production.
Sees Progress Ahead
Then he discussed methods by
which it is hoped to shade off"
the vast emergency relief meas
ureS for agriculture into q perma-
nent national plan involving crop
control, scientific land utilization,
and o happy balance between
rural and urban economic needs.
The youthful farming general
isSimo, q power in the Roosevelt
administrations innermoSt cir
cleS, emphatically asserted:
"'There can be no permanent
return to unreStrained individ-
Walisln."
Despite the instances In which
farmers have kicked over the
traces and dumped milk cans
into rural cutters, Wallace took
an optimistic view of the farm
situation. He said:
1--WE are making progress, but
Il will be . long time, per-
haps, before parity prices for
farm products are achieved.
The worst sufferers now are the
beef and dairy cattle raiserS
and the sugar growers. We
plan to include their products
In the list Of basic cOmmOdi-
ties.
FavOrS the Plan
T ann. friendly toward the
gin licensing plan offered by
Senator Bankhead, Of Ala
bama. We will get behind it
the cotton farmers want it,
which they seem to do.
''Under this plan, each
farmer would be allotted SO
many bales rs . production
quota and he could have only
that many bales ginned."
Wallace asserted many Of the
methods used by the AAA to whit
tie down surpluseS and raise farm
prices, although justified on an
emergency basis, are essentially
WaSteful.
These methods have included
the destruction of millions Of
young pigs, grunting or unborn;
the plowing up of cotton loaded
with bollS; and the nonuSe of
farming land fertile as the Nile
Valley. He said:
'"TheSe things represent eco
mOmic waste. Our present emer-
genCy efforts should be shaded
off into . permanent national
plan for agriculture"
Titled ut . Loss
In deciding upon a long-term
farming policy, Wallace stated,
the American people must choose
between radical downward tariff
reviSions, involving large-scale
entry Of foreign goods to compete
with domestic goods; or a purely
nationaliStic method, under which
probably rs million acres Of worn
out land would be retired from
cultivation.

maintain an active part in league and disarmament work.
 It was felt here that Ambassador Troyanovsky, a former Russian en- voy to Japan, had been instructed after he went to Washington to concentrate on stabilization of peace and disarmament.
 once scornful of the league, Russia in recent years had cooper ated in many ways, and her desire for peace and disarmament has been evidenced by a remarkable series of non-aggression treaties negotiated by her brilliant foreign Minister Maxim Litvinoff, who ne- gotiated resumption of relations between Russia and the United States.
 Now, Russia is said to be re- calling the utility of the league in it's early days to Turkey, only member of the German World War group that escaped lightly in treaties.
 Russia was said also to be con- vinced that the present weakness of the league could be rectified if her vast group of Soviet republics joined, Germany and Japan were induced to go back and the United States could be depended upon to maintain an active part in league and disarmament work.

RIOTERS DID
 MUCH DAMAGE


 New York, March 24 = (UP)
 Fallen tombstones near the freshly packed grave of Lilyan Tashman in Washington cemetery. Brooklyn, were reminders today of the riotous scene that prevailed at the screen actress's burial yester- day.
 Thirty policemen held back a crowd of 10000 persons while the last rites were performed. So great was the press around the grave that a tombstone on the grave of Miss Tashman's sister, Annie, who died in 1929, toppled over, injuring several women. The burial rites were momentarily interrupted by the screams of women and children crushed in the human pack. Sew eral other gravestones were knocked down.

 "The property which I am able to make disposition of by will" the docum ent read, represents my own savings, and I believe that the disposition which have made thereof in this will will be more productive of good than to make greater recognition of my rela- lives, thereby supplying for them ownership of property which in my opinion, could be better provided for by their own savings"

'SEASERPENT' IS
 OLD, OLD STORY
Expert Describes Giant Quids Seen and
 Captured

New Haven, Con, UP)-The present popular interest in "sea serpents," such as at Loch Ness, Scotland, is not the first in our hfs- tory, according tot Prof Stanley c. Ball, curator of zoology at Yale s Peabody Museum.
 In the 18th Century, giant quids attracted ide-attention and one of these monsters was washed upon the Newfoundland shores in 1873. It measured AZ feet in length and was restored under direction of J. IT. Emerton and Prof Addison Emery Verrill. The serpent" now is on exhibition at Peabody and is the largest invertebrate animal known.
 It has a huge cylindrical body, the girth of which is eight feet at it's widest point, and which tapers one-half feet across. From huge head extend eight arms, each measuring between 12 and 15 feet and two tremendous tentacles be- tween 29 and 30 feet long.
 Each tentacle terminates in a 'manus," or hand, more than 30 irches in length, having more than score of suckers at the wid- est portion, each sucker being an inch in diameter.
 Quids, says Dr Ball. swim: backward, some remarkably fast. What they eat is not definitely known but they themseiYes are food for sperm whales who lop off a 20 to 30 foot arm, or bite huge chunks from the body. Usually they follow the Gulf Stream.
 A giant quid was captured by a Capt Campbell of the schooner "B. D. Haskins," out of Glouces- ter, Mass, more than 60 years ago and two years later two men in a small bout in Conception Bay, N. F., were attacked by large quid which threw two of its arms across the boat. The men saved them selves by chopping off the arms with hatchet.
 Scientists are agreed, said Dr Ball. that there is no satisfactory evidence that any species of octo- pus ever intentionally attacked a man, or that anyone ever has been seriously injured by them. They are sluggish, timid creatures, he said, and their ferocity, as we'll as their size, often have been greatly exaggerated.

Some optimists suggested that Britain might be willing to con- sider some form of common &C., ton" against a European violator of a disarmament agreement pro- vided the United States attitude was satisfactory.
 United States Sees End
 Washington, March 24.-UP)- The French governments latest note on disarmament was looked upon by administration officials to- day as having completed the trans fer of world disarmament out of the realm of practical possibility, at least for the immediate future.
 High military and naval officials of this country have practically ceased to concern themselves with bickeriAgs going on continuously among European governments con- corning disarmament. They do not believe constructive disarma- ment will be achieved in this dec- ade.
 The French note showed the French government has not re- ceded from the position it took in 1919, and has steadfastly held ever since.
 This is that France must be guaranteed security" by the other powers before France can diminish her armament s.
 France demands something more tangible than consultation for French security. She demands some definite guarantees, which of- ficials here know the United States will never give.

One of the city's most enterpris- ing firms is the Justus Oil Co.,, in business in Waterbury since 1925. Beginning in that year with a parking station on Grand street, the firm is now operating six of these stations and has branched out into the tire business, carrying com plete stock of Martin tires and Du- pont tires for both pleasure cars and trucks.
 They have also taken on the products of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey, including Essolene and Esso gases and Atlas tires and batteries, together with other accessories.
 It has been the policy of the company since it's organization to give thorough and courteous serv- ice at their various stations and company officials express the hope of continuing this service to their many patrons, who may be as- sured also of the continuance of the same high quality products which the company has always handled.

RANKING GRADS AID PUBLIC WORK
Institute Founded Seven Years Ago to Help
 Republic

Ranking, (UP) - Established seven years ago to bring honesty and efficiency into the Chinese civil service and raise the stand ards of legal and political practice, the Central Political Institute of Ranking today regards with consid- erable pride it's 300 and more graduates who are making good in the public service of the nation.
 Founded by the National Gov- ernment on a plan similar to that of L'Ecole Science Politique at Paris, but broader in scope, the Central Political Institute has set for itself the task of effecting civil service administration reforms by concentrating upon the education and training of selected young men and women.
 To inculcate these disciplinary principles in it's students, the h. stitute is run on military basis. All male students spend half an hour each day and two hours twice week in military drills, and on Saturdays they are required to take part in supervised fatigue marches.
 The rules and organizations of the Institute are those of a mili- tary school, but is is in no sense a part of the army school system. Having observed that graduates of ordinary law schools learned much of academic legal and political principles, but little of practical politics, or public administration, the Institute developed a curricu- lum in which the practical and the theoretical are combined.
 Unlike less fortunate graduates of ordinary institutions of higher learning in China. holders of Gen. tral Political Institute certificates are assured by the government of positions requiring the specialized training and knowledge which has four-year course.

"A GUARDIA IS

New York, March 24-U.PO- Sung by criticism from both sides for his handling of the taxi strike situation, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia summoned employer and employe groups to a conference at City Hall to-day, demanding immediate and permanent settlement.
 One of the chief criticisms level- led against the mayor was he pre- vented the police from taking dras- tic measures to end the disorders that reached climax Thursday when marauding bands of strikers demolished taxicabs and beat work ing drivers.
 UniQ recognition and abolition of discrimination against drivers on the ground of color, are the principal demands of the strikers. No violence was reported yester- day
