ARMY ELECTION
SOUGHT AGAIN

Two Virginia military organiza-
lions during the World War
elected their own officers and
noncommiSsioned officers, the
Veterans National Rank and File
Committee asserted today, point
ing to this as precedent for their
demand in a letter to the Pres.
ident that the soldiers be allowed
to name a new chief of staff of
the Army.
The same action was taken by
certain Michigan regiments dur.
ing the Civil War, and similar
elections were held during the
Revolutionary War.
Denying that their organization
is Communistic, the organization
points out that the letter to the
President was signed by Harold
HickerSon, a Communist; Louis
Wittenborn, Democrat, and
James Otis Eaton. a Republican.

Republicans will control the Sc

TREASURY HEAD
OFF FOR REST
IN SOUTH
BY International News Service
Coronlntipo ono veor &C haod NJ

BY International News Service
Completing one year as head of
the nations finances, marked by
the devaluation of silver, Secre-
tary Morgenthau departed today
for a weeks rest at Sea Island,
Georgia.
Probably never in the history
Of the United States, with the
exception of the dramatic move
by President Roosevelt removing
the country from the gold stand
ard and the bank holiday, have
there been such momentous finan.
cial events as have marked the
Treasury administration of Secre-
tary Morgenthau.
Replaced WOOdin
The former director of the
Farm Credit Administration was
named Acting Secretary of the
Treasury by President Roosevelt,
November Is. 1893. When it was
apparent that the Secretary of
the Treasury, William H. Woodin,
never would be able to return
to his post because of failing
health, Mr.. Morgenthau was
named to the Cabinet position
January /, 1884.
Mr.. Morgenthau entered the
Treasury with public confidence
of the nation at an ebb tide.
There was little confidence in
America either domestically or
abroad. The bond market was
low. Prices were declining. Even
the credit of the United States
was doubtful.
In the year that has followed
there can be no doubt of actual
accomplishments some experts
say they are artificially pro-
duced-others say the progress
made in the way of a substantial
rise in public confidence, a depend
ence in the currency, vastly in
creased feeling of security in the
United States abroad, higher com.
modify prices and the ready re-
Spouse to Government security Of
feringS are permanent and that
recovery is in the making.
Studies Problems
Mr.. Morgenthau went South to-
day "for a vacation" However,
this rest will include consideration
of a number of highly important
problems upon which decisions
must be reached before Congress
meets in January. These include
banking legislation, taxation,
budget balancing, expansion of
credit and others of lesser i'm
portance.
Doubt that any tax increases
would be recommended by the Ad.
miniStration was expressed at the
Treasury today. There, however,
may be important shifts in the
tax responsibility.

Farm tenants and owners

State conservation department
for permission to kill a deer
that is attacking their cattle

Persons who have seen the
animal several times during the

gore their stock.
There is a $400 fine for kill

That report was started wher
an account of insult being carried
