fields are filled, farmers save much

harvesting crops. Filled gullies in
pasture lands eliminate danger Of
accidents to grazing animals.
Temporary dams usually are made
of materials found on farms, such as
stakes, brush, straw, logs and loose
rock. Woven wire is also used. Most
temporary dams are porous when
first built, but the spaces gradually
fill with trash and soil brought down
by the water. Permanent dams are
built of earth, masonry and concrete.

suggestions for constructing dams in

them financial and political support.
Cass mentioned Al Capone and
Dutch" Schultz as two who had big

press his challenge before the parley's
Resolutions Committee.
Into the meeting also was hurled
virtual blanket condemnation Of
prison recreation activities which In
cluded foot ball and base ball games
open to the public.
The criticism, directed especially at
Sing Sing, came from Miss Dorothy
Frooks Of Peekskill, N. Y. During the

date for Congress, challenged Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt to a joint de-
bate.
A resolution, introduced by Byrnes
Macdonald of the National Institution
Of Public Affairs, called on the dele
gates to arouse in youth an attitude
Of active antagonism and abhorrence
Of crime and criminals.
United States MarshaIs Organize.
United States marshals attending
the conference organized a national
association to cooperate in handling
the crime problem.
A committee of seven, with per-
manent chairman, was named to make
recommendations to Cummings on
how best the marshals can work to
speed up administration of justice.
A. ]. Chitty of Tacoma, Wash, was
selected permanent chairman, and G.
c. Patton Of Denver, permanent sec
retary.
Other members Of the committee
are John ]. Murphy, Boston; William
M. Mcdonnell, Chicago; Guy Nc
Namara, San Antonio, Tex; Bert
Bates, Memphis; Bernard Anderson,
st. Paul; w. c. Geers, Oklahoma City,
and j. T. Summerville, Portland, Greg.
An attempt by a group Of colored
persons to picket the conference yes
terday was held unlawful by Wash
ington police-and squelched.
Lynching Protested.
Four men, members of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, appeared in front of
the conference hall carrying banners
which protested because "lynching''
wasn't specific subject for discussion
before the parley.
They were arrested on charges of
carrying unlicensed signs, but later
released after posting collateral of SIS
each. Police said the four had been
refused permit to picket.
Later, the association made public
telegram it said it had received
from Attorney General Cummings in
which the latter was quoted as saying
there was no limitation as to topics
and that "lynching no doubt will come
in for special consideration"
How newspapers, the radio and the
movies are aiding in arousing public
opinion in support of the drive or
criminal gangs was discussed at q
session yesterday afternoon.

This Changing World
European War Danger Is Over, at Least Until
After Christmas.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Leaders of European nations are
wiping their brows and are giving a
sigh of relief. The danger of a war in
Southeastern Europe before Christmas
has been averted. This may be only
temporary, it is true, but, neverthe-
less, there won't be a war before the
end of this year. They are all joining
in a chorus singing the praise of the
League of Nations.

It is true, again, that the settlement
of the Hungarian dispute
did occur at Geneva. But the causes
for this settlement must be found
elsewhere.
When the Yugoslavs went on
rampage they really intended to pro-

support of the other two states of the
little entente, Rumania and Czecho-
slovakia, and through them on

Walker declared that, with the ex-

official said. Nov, with us it is en-
tirely different. When We kill, it is
because We get mad. Take my case
for instance. I shot my best friend
some 80 years ago when we wiped out
the Obrenovitch dynasty. I entered
the palace of Alexander and Draga
Machin with the other patriots. Gen.
Jivkovitch cat present the Yugoslav
minister of war; was a Junior officer
and opened the gates for us. One OF
my best friends, a man with whom !
roomed at the academy, a man with
whom used to drink and play cards,
was on duty. 1 just saw red, pulled
my gun and shot him dead. I was
sorry afterward because he was a
good fellow, but I did not kill him In
cold blood. I just got mad"
And the world is still afraid that
some day the entire nation will get
mad too, and nobody can tell what
will happen then.

Italy, which had pulled their chestnuts
out of the fire only a few months ago,
there was little enthusiasm for such
a war.
Rumania, too, was lukewarm at the
idea of fighting at the present moment
The political and economic situation
in that country is such that a new
war might ruin it altogether.
*x X X
Confronted with this situation,
Yukoslavia decided to use the whip
hand and threatened tc leave the
League of Nations, if it did not obtain
satisfaction from Hungary. Benes and
Titulesco, probably the stanchest sup
porters of the League, were scared; so
was Laval. In order to reafirm the
solidarity Of the little entente, Benes
took the bull by the horns and made
a strong warlike declaration. He
knew full well that if it were to come
to a showdown he would not be fol-
lowed by his countrymen. But, if it
came to an actual war, he did not
care If he had to quit his post because
his country would not get entangled.
If, on the other hand, the Hungarian
Yugoslavian row was to be settled at
Geneva, he would get the necessary
credit for it and also give the Yugo-
slavs a lesson in ethics as to how real
allies should behave.
Laval, too, did not fined it difficult to
use the mailed fist because he also
realized that in case of war he would
not remain in Office.
X X X
But the principal lesson of the last
weeks dispute is that the interests OF
these allies are no longer similar If 1t
comes to fighting They were, when
the little entente was created imme-
diately after the war, but conditions
have changed since.
It may be that this dissimilarity Of
interests will be beneficial for the
world peace, although threatening
plots and intrigues will continue ir
that section of the world.
The danger of the Yugoslavs doing
something rash still continues. Wher
the Serbians get mad nobody can say
| what will happen.

C. OF c. PROPOSES
TO0UTLAW "REDS'
C0mmuniStic Acts in u. S.
Combated in Plans for
Legislation.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A proposal to outlaw Communistic
activities in America on the ground
the movement bears the torch OF
revolution by violence" was dis
tributed today by the directors Of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
A report embodying the proposal
sent to the membership was neither
approved nor disapproved by the
board, which simply said it was for
the chambers consideration at its
next annual meeting.
To-day it is Soviet Communism
transplanted to the United States,
but still under Soviet domination
rather than anarchism that bears
the torch of revolution by violence
the report said, land that is openly
and defiantly proSelyting for the
forcible overthrow of our present po-
litical and economic order.
Warfare Intent Seen.
"Those who advocate such course
in time of peace are as much enemies
of the state as those who would
weaken the Nation in time of war
by seeking to discredit it's Constitu-
ton aud form of government.
Conduct which today stops short
Of actual warfare against the Gov
ernment solely because the time is
thought not yet opportune for the
violent overthrow of the Government,
but which looks to such warfare as
soon as sufficient strength has been
gathered, should be put under effec-
tive restraint from the start and not
allowed to develop to the point
where the most rigorous measures
and the most severe penalties would
be needed"
After describing activities Of the
party, the report said There is no
statute making it an offense to be
affiliated with the Communist move
ment or to disseminate Communist
propaganda"
Legislative Suggestions Made.
It recommended legislation which
would:
l. duNOCdCy VI NlOltll
overthrow of the Federal Government
or of all forms of law or advocacy o.
injury to Federal officers because OF
their official character"
2. Set up a special agency within
the Department of Justice Ito inVeSti'
gate SubverSive activities, with particu.
lar reference to the Communist party
and its members and their domestic
and foreign relationships"
8. Prohibit attempts Ito incite dis.
affection or INSTRUMENTATION among
the armed forces of the United
States"
4. Amend the naturalization laws TT
declare specifically that no person WHIT
believes in or is member of an or
ganization advocating violent over
throw of the Federal Government
should be naturalized."
Immigrants Face Deportation.
S. Provide that admission of a,
Immigrant into the United States b.
conditioned upon Cd a treaty obliga
ton on the part of the country of hi
origin to take him back at any time i
ordered deported from the United
States or CD an individual certificate
to the same effect issued by respon
sible official of the country of origin
6. Deny the use of the mails ST
matter which advocates, or which i
published or distributed by an organi
zation which advocates, subversiv
doctrines"
The report warns that "unfortu
nately we have been too lenient Il
dealing with propaganda intende,
forcibly to overthrow our American
social, governmental and economi
order"
