times yesterday-Goering found time
for an almost equal number Of nom
political events at which to display the
resplendent uniforms that are the
talk OF Berlin.
He started today of with visit to
Mussolini's forum to see several hum
dred youths perform the ordered
health exercises OF fascism.
For the afternoon he scheduled a
reception at the Campidoglio. or Gov
ornate, of Rome. 1t is the worlds old
est capitol, and in recent years Musso-
lini has sought to emphasize its ex-
istence as q perennial fount OF civili-
sation.
The first objective OF the anti-com-
munism bloc expected to result from
the Reichminister's conferences with
II Duce and Count Galeazzo Ciano,
minister of foreign affairs. was be-
lieved to be q common line Of action
in Spain.
Ultimately, the program was said
to envision what would be In ef-
feet a four power dictatorship Of
European policy, based on a COM
mon front to oppose any Communist
disturbance Of the status quo any
where on the Continent.
Fascist observers recalled Italy
warned she would not tolerate q
communistic nucleus in the Medit-
terranean when she joined Germany
in recognizing Generalissimo Frances
government.
Official circles felt Britain must be
equally concerned over the possibility
of such a nucleus.
The invita- ton would revive the
idea of four-power pact to safe
guard Europe's status quo, which
was broached by Mussolini in 1898
and initiated by the large powers,
but was consigned to limbo by sub
sequent events.
The Fascists believe the Spanish
civil war and the efforts of the Nom
Intervention Committee have shown
Britain, at least. that steps far OUT
side the power Of the League of Ma
tions must be taken If European sta
bility is to be preserved.
With Germsny's air chief. Goering,
In Rome, MUssolini. as Italian avia-
ton minister, issued call for 1900
specialists to join the Fascist army.
The recruits. II Duce announced,
must be between II and 10 years Of
age and are to divided into these
clRS
Mechanics, 1,100; radio experts. 500;
meteorologists, 500: ordnance experts,
500: electricians, 800; photographers,
200; chauffeurs, 500; sanitary ex-
perts, 100.
The recruits are to be enrolled for
. Observation-Disclosures training course
and may continue in the air force If
they pass technical examinations

FARMERS PURSE
PLUMPER IN Sc
Income Higher as Expenses
Lag, So Purchasing
Power Is High.
By the Associated Press.

Federal farm experts crawled out
from a stack Of statistics today and
announced that as q whole the Ma
tion's farmers showed financial gains
in 1895.
Net income Of farmers after de-
Quoting S4,230, ,000, 900 for wages. IN
tereSt, taxes, rent supplies and other
production costs was placed at S.
900, 100000.
The experts said this was IT per
cent larger than in 1885 and only z
per cent less than the comparable
1929 income of 1855. .0O0. 900.
They said the severe drought had
damaged the corn and wheat belt in
comes, but cotton was a bright spot
in the tabulations, with both a larger
crop and higher prices. 1t netted
growers 1856 900, 900, compared with
$737 900 900 in 1885
Even the wheat crop, with a short
Spring wheat yield; showed a gain.
The farm value was estimated at
s624, 900 900, more than s1O0, 0,00O, 900
above the 1885 crop.
The short crop Of potatoes showed
wider increase. 1t was valued al
1857 900, 900. against 1921 ,000, 900 the
previous year.
The experts cited these estimates OF
gross farm income and income from
actual cash sales for the last two years
and the depression loss OF 1882:
Gross farm income. 1886. $780,.
100000; 1885. So, sos, ,OOO, 900: 1892, S..
337 900 900. Cash farm sales, 1896
So. 100000; 1885, $7,201, ,0O0, 900;
1882, $4,377. 900, 900.
They said these advances, however
did not tell the whole story. While in
come went up IL per cent. expenses
increased only s per cent. they said. SO
that the pay realized by the farmer
for his work and capital in 1885 had q
purchasing power apparently the high

drive on Madrid today-the reported
Hitler "deadline" for Fascist capture
Of the Spanish capital.
Well grounded reports q week ago
said the German ReichSfuehrer had
given Gen. Francisco Franco, the
Spanish Fascist dictator-designate,
until today to take Madrid, which was
interpreted as meaning Germany and
Italy felt they could stave of Anglo
French demands for q stoppage OF
foreign aid that long.
After that, it was indicated at the
time, Franco might get no more Fas-
cist assistance unless he showed def

 WASHINGTON, Dec. Just a minute, we want to give you a quickie introduction to seven la bor figures whose names have already figured in the news.
 By good luck we find five of them coming out of a corner suite in the Willard Hotel on Pennsyl- vania avenue. They are just breaking up a session of their con ferences called to patch up the split in the ranks of labor.
 First to speak is Philip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers and chairman of the Steel Workers Organizing Com mittee. He has a voice so soft and mellow it purrS. He testified before a senate committee during it's inquiry into steel strikes. He didn't answer questions yes or no, but used every question as an avenue for argument. He leans toward the theatrical side and be- comes tiresOme to a few, but ranks as the best negotiator for John L. Lewis CIO.
