GRAF 7 GUILDS
ORGANIZED

Backed by Secretary of Com
merce Roper, Gen. Hugh S. John,
son and other notables, the
Guilds of America, a modernized
version of medieval guilds, came
into being last night at a meet.
ing in the Willard Hotel.
Plans of the organization call
for technical schools where
craftsmanship will be taught
through the partnership of Gov
ernment and industry. It is the
contention of the group that a
knowledge of the arts and crafts
such as ironWork, pottery and
textile weaving, should be re
built, coordinated and financed
through a general plan.
Speeches at the meeting de-
veloped the idea that mass pro
duction has killed the workman's
pride, and that this could be
eliminated by a decentralization
of industry.

RAP RATINGS

Employees of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration have
expressed dissatisfaction over
methods of rating their effici-
ency.
Seriousness Of the situation,
the employees charge, lies in the
fact that length of employment
depends greatly upon efficiency
ratings and that these rating are
made by unfair methods.
In the auditing unit, the
workers complained, the work of
an employe is judged by the
number Of contracts with farmers
he checks a day, and not upon
his accuracy.
Thus, it was explained, If a
worker has an average produc-
ton Of 200 contracts a day, of
which 100 are incorrect and must
be audited again by special
trouble Shooters" he establishes
a better record than a worker
who. puts out 125 contracts Of
which all are correct.
Queried about the situation,
officials denied the allegations
but later admitted that no record
of an auditors accuracy is main
tanned, the only information avail
able being on the amount Of his
production.

Held Really
For Japan

LONDON, Jan. II. U.N.S0-
Japan is building for the so-called
new state of Manchukuo new
naval vessels which in reality are
additions to the Japanese Navy,
according to the daily Heard to-

These vessels could not be

Japan contends that they are
under the Manchukuo flag and
not the Rising Sun banner.
The Daily Herald also says that
Japan will not agree to a sug-

because that may mean continua-

TOKYO, Jan. II Q.N.S0,
Startling details of Soviet mill
tary preparations along the Man.
churian border were officially
published today by the japanese
army as it began a nationwide
campaign to warn the public Of
the menace of war with the U,
s. s. r.
In support of its allegations,
the Imperial army started dis
tribution of a map throughout
the empire. In color, it Vividly
illustrates the Soviet army and
naval positions in oriental Russia,
4O1 Planes Ready
The detailed map shows the
distribution of 10 Soviet infantry
divisions, totaling 100000 men,
and two complete divisions Of
cavalry. It reveals the airports
where 400 Soviet military air.
planes are quartered, including 60
heavy bombers.
Three hundred armored tanks
are included in the motorized
part of the Soviet Siberian army,
according to the map.
The army figures give $4,000
as the number of G.. P. U. (Soviet
Secret Service) men operating on
the Manchurian and inner Mon
golian border, on the lookout for
spies.
Ten to IS submarines are being
constructed for use at Vladivostok
and large airports are located at
both Vladivostok port and Har-
barovsk, junction of the Amur
and Sungari rivers, the Japanese
map indicates.
Fence of Red Guns
The Soviet army in main is
shown as stationed behind heavy
fortresseS in eight cities.
The Yomiuri newspaper in a
headline today says:
"A fence Of red guns en-
circles ManchukuO. Our army
prOragandizing can inform the
japanese that Manchuria is in
danger Of a war attack by the
SOvietS."
Meanwhile, information here re-
veals that the office of the
Japanese military attache at
Peiping, China, is included in the
departments engaged in the cam
patgn Of warning.
