NAZI GERMANY BUILDS
NOISELESS AIRPLANES

LONDON.-A special correspondent of
the London DAILY Herald" recently report
ed on the feverish war preparations of Hit
Ter Germany. Near Frankfort, he stated.
he observed about $50 planes flying in mil
itary formation. Near Kottbus he noticed
about go airplanes although there seemed
to be no suitable airport near. Later he
learned that an underground airport had
been built and was kept secret. Hitler's
latest achievement in ornaments is a
noiseless airplane which he saw in practice
flights near Kottbus. In order not to at
tract public attention to this new plane. a
second plane is always flying along to pro-
vide the noise of the motor.
Germany is not allowed to have any
military planes whatsoever.

10000 FARMERS MARCH IN
PARIS DEMANDING RELIEF

PARIS, France, Nov. 29.-For the sec
Ond time, in even more powerful demon
stration than the last one, more than TO-
600 farmers marched here today, singing
the "Marseilleise," demanding relief. Their
first demonstration was broken up by po-
lice yesterday and again police, mounted
and on foot, broke up the columns of the
peasants, giving them clubs instead of
bread. The farmers battled back furiously
for hours and even when their columns
had been dispersed and forced into side
streets, they kept on singing and shouting
their demands.

SOVIET UNION ABOLISHES
RATIONING SYSTEM

MOSCOW.-Because of the bountiful
gram crop achieved in spite of the drought,
the Soviet government has begun to abol-
ish bread ration cards. This has been done
IN l!5 towns already, and it is expected by
the first OF January they will be universally
abolished.
Under the ration card system every
worker could buy a certain amount at
liked low prices, and if he wanted any
more he had to buy in the open market at
higher prices. This move allows him to
buy all his bread at the lower prices form
erly prevailing only in closed markets.

labor paper, The Deutsche, will cease pub
LEGATION January /. Put out to deceive labor
into thinking the Nazis were serving the
interests of the workers, it has been boy
cotted so completely by the workers that
its circulation became negligible. It's fate

sorship have discovered that the people are
unwilling to read the rot the government
thinks fit for them.

Most important, however, is the
fact that the convention tabled the
important provision in the first
resolution which called upon all
farm groups to unite with the
Farmers Union locals in the strug-
gle for adequate relief. Adequate
relief cannot be won by the pass
ing of resolutions or the endorsing
of bills. Adequate relief can ana
must be won by the solid unity OF
all farmers and farm organizations
in the fight for relief in their
townships, their counties, their
states and in the nation. Mass
pressure on the relief authorities
force higher relief standards.
FNCA Urges United Front
Fer this reason the Farmers
National Committee for Action
urges all Farmers Union locals and
county organizations to join all
other farmers and farm organiza-
lions in the struggle for higher re-
4 lief standards. The national com
mittee hs opened a western office
in Mitchell, S. D., for the purpose
of drawing all farm groups to-
gether in the drought area on the
relief issue. United action and
U~ited pressure is 8 necessity il
the farmers of this country are t.
meet their immediate and most
pressing needs for a healthy stand
ard of living this winter. Only b!
unity can We gain trength against
the financial and industrial "buc
cancers" Of 1884.

resolution to the national conven-
ton. This was done. The resolu-
ton reads as follows:
Whereas, the prolonged eco
nomic depression and the drought
has brought about a condition in
which great masses of farmers
are entirely dependent upon re-
lief, and
Whereas, there exists in the
country a great abundance of feed,
clothing and all the necessities of
life, and whereas the shortage of
feed can be made up by import
ing if necessary, and
whereas, the work which the
farmers of America perform en-
titles them to a high standard of
living;
Therefore this national conven-
ton of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union hereby
urges all Farmers Union locals to
cooperate with all other farm
groups and organizations in de-
manding really adequate relief for
all who require it,
"And furthermore, this conven-
= ton endorses the plan for relief
worked out by the farmers of Dav-
ison county, South Dakota, by
which q committee elected and cor
trolled by a mass meeting of far
mers and city workers maintains a
constant pressure for adequate re-
lief upon the relief authorities in

WASHINGTON.-FP) Clothing and
shoes become a luxury to workers and far
mers when their wages and incomes are
cut. Or so, at any rate, it seems from the
census report on retail sales in New York
state for 1888, just completed by the bureau
of the census.
The largest decline in dollar sales com
pared to 1929 occurred in family clothing
stores which show a decrease of rs per
cent in dollar volume. Shoe store sales
dropped 48 per cent, radio store sales II
per cent and motor vehicle sales 81 per
cent. Department store sales decreased 40
per cent and food store sales 3 4per cent.
Total sales declined At per cent in the four
years.

GOVERNOR TO SEE
 MOSQUITO WORKS
Inspection Tour to Be Made in New Haven
 Friday, Saturday

New Haven, Aug Ex-Governor
 Wilbur L. Cross will accompany | Miss Eleanor H. Little, state ad- ministrator of the EZRA, and a | party of state and federal off cials on an inspection tour of mos- quito work in New Haven, Milford and Stratford Friday afternoon, August 3. The group will leave the Lawn club in New Haven af- ter lunch and go first to see the new tide gate at Morris Cove. Later they will visit the ditching and drainage projects at Milford and will then inspect the extensive pro- gram now under way at Stratford.
 Supervision of all of the mosquito elimination work in the state is in charge of. the Connecticut Az ricultural experiment Station at New Haven. EZRA labor is large ly employed and local funds pay for materials and equipment. Be- side the governor and Miss Little members of the inspection party in- clude: J. Peter Johnson of the Experiment Station, acting director of the EZRA mosquito project. George Burke, chief engineer; w. E. Britton, state entomologist and head of the department at the Sta- tion; R. c. Botsford, deputy in charge of mosquito elimination; Newton Brainard, chairman of the state Emergency Relief Commits sion; and James w. Hook of the commission.
 About 55 men from the EZRA rolls are being employed on the project at Stratford alone. Tho work, which is nearly half com pleted. will eventually protect about 2,000 acres of salt marshes from flooding at high tide. Storms of the past few years have de- stroyed the large wooden gate and part of the dike that used to hold back the water. As result large expanse of low land is near ly covered at high tide, and pools of water, in which mosquitoes breed, stand on the marshes con- stantly.
 The present project includues building of a like and installing a battery of eight 30-inch cast iron pipes equipped with automatic tide gates. By this means a lim- ited amount of water will be per- mitted to flow upstream, and when the tide retreats the opening gates will drain the marsh above the dike. Ditching is also being done below the gate.
 The entire project will be com- pleted in about six months, accord- ing to MT Johnson.

It is also Mir Moffett's idea that these same organizations might take upon themselves the work of campaigning among the builders of their communities for bargain rates, in building materials and wages. Federal officials believe that there is definite opposition to the idea of reducing prices among the contracting firms.
 The building trade at the present time contains the largest number of unemployed, and because of the desire for work, it was believed that local unions might be induced to take temporary hourly wage re- ductions,A It is pointed out that the increase in weekly pay envel- opes should offset the cuts.
 Decision>Needs Consideration
 Waterbury builders were reluct- ant to state their attitude on the question of wage cuts, several of those questioned declaring that the matter would have to be given con- .sideration before being definitely decided. The denial, however. that there was any concerted att tempt to resist government negoti- ations on the subject was unani- nous.
 Besides giving home owners the benefit of the reconditioning loans. the government project was de- signed to stimulate the building trades this year, and it was hoped that local firms would receive some of the work.

FARMERS DAY IS
 COLORFUL EVENT
Streets Lined With Farm ers' Cars and Wagons
 Here to Buy Poultry
BROOKLYN NEWS

Thursday is known to the Lith- uanian population of Brooklyn as Farmers" day. At an early hour this morning all the streets in the vicinity of Green street from North Riverside to Poplar street and ad- joining thoroughfares were lined with all sorts of trucks, carts and family pleasure vehicles.
 The farmers who come each week are we'll stocked and usually realize a profitable day. When they return home in the evening they are sold out completely, for they always remain in town until the last of their supply has been placed in the hands of someone who visits the public market in Brooklyn or until it is delivered to the home of the purchaser. Livestock is also a part of the supply. Chickens, ducks and rabbits are sold, all of course, very much alive.
 The scene is visited by hundreds of prospective purchasers who may be seen doing what is known as wise buying. The first price quot ed on the products are usually the cause of disputes and questions but the farmers through their league are well versed in the mar ket prices elsewhere and are run ming little risk of their loads be- ing sold for sang" prices. Oc- casionally a professional vender or huckster finds his way into the long column and begins to shout his wares to the collecting crowds. but the older Lithuanians through their ancestors who were born to the soil cannot be taken by the in- vading merchants.
 Where do these farmers come from is the question that the been asked time and again with the answer always the same. They leave their farms in Middlebury. Woodbury, Newtown, Watertown, Bethlehem, Thomaston, Naugatuck and about all towns within two hours travelling distance. The trip is heightened it seems, due to the condition and speed of the vehicles used as a conveyance. Some of these are quite antique but still serve their purpose well. The horses are usually tired after the trip and make the most of the few hours rest they may secure while stopping at the street market.
 In some instances the families of the farmer come to town and visit friends for the day, do their shopping and other little things that are part of an occasional day in the city.
 One. of the most noticeable fea- lures at the market is the unusual quietness of business procedure which is only broken upon the oc- casion of a buyer with little con- ception or respect for the prices asked by the farmers for their stock. It isn't only the Lithuanions who take advantage of the oppor- tunity to buy well, for there are many Irish and Italian people among the crowds that collect about the stands.

 Since Prosecutor SumIna will probably be a witness in the case, he could not fliere- fore act for the state at the same time. He will not be on duty next week, however, as the three city court prOsecu- tors alternate their schedules.
 Patrolman Santora was in court this morning to testify agains Pope. Just after aIi- other case had been called, however, the prosecutor went into conference with the judge at the bench, and told the pO- liceman a few moments later that the continuance had been granted.
