less OF the outcome of contempt ac-
ton brought by the committee against
SIX officials OF the company for fail
ure to obey subpeonas last August.
This probability was disclosed as
the trial OF L. Douglas Rice, vice presi-
dent and general manager of Railway
Audit, on the charges of contempt
, was nearing close in District Court.
Rice's defense was concluded this
morning when counsel decided not to
place the defendant on the stand, but
to rest their case on documentary
evidence and testimony of aids to the
district attorney regarding efforts by
Rice to seek court ruling on valid
ity of the subpoenas.
During presentation of the de-
tense, Harry Underwood, assistant
United States attorney, testified that
Rice went to the hearing room with
him on the morning of August 2l, the
date of his ordered appearance, while
the committee was informed of issu-
ance Of show cause order restraining
the defendant.
With the show cause order still in
effect. any new efforts by the commit
tee to call Railway Audit officials for
testimony would be dependent on con-
clusion of proceedings initiated last
August in connection with the order by
Rice.
Although committee attaches were
hesitant to discuss the attitude of the
committee toward further inquiry into

check has been made on the extent

Mexico Degrades Military Cadets
For Trying to Join Spanish Army

MEXICO CITY.-One Of the saddest
cases In Mexican military history was
that recorded when nine students Of
the "Colegio Militar," Menco's West
Point. were publicly degraded and ex-
PEELED for attempting to leave for
Spain, where they had been promised
lucrative posts in the Spanish Army.
They were all mere youths and
they were misled by some foreign
agent into the belief that they would
soon become military leaders in Spain.
The lads got away easily from their
student headquarters and were aboard
. foreign liner in the port OF Vera
Cruz, whence they were to be landed
IN New York and then transhipped to
some Spanish sea outlet. But the
Mexican authorities got them and
they were brought back to the capital
for An ignominious function.
Their dismissal from the army was
almost Dreyfus-like. The order Of the
day was read and they were degraded

arms" Dtrgelike drums Of war ac-

The students were paraded before

school and there the order from
headquarters was read by the acting
minister of war.
You are unworthy Of the great
trust which was placed in you a.

he said.
Then the entire company turned
their backs on the lads. The hilts
Of their swords were presented to

ductiop control. would be rewarded
with benefit payments similar to those
which the Supreme Court frowned
on in its decision lifting off the STAT
ute books the old agricultural ad-
justment act
These acreages supposedly would
allow adequate production for do
mestic needs, for our export market
and for safe "carry-over" or unused
supply stored until the following crop
year.
Thus supply would be regulated.
But prices respond to SO many influ-
ences that they cannot be safely fixed
SO the proposed law defines parity
price and parity" income, and pro-
vides that when the market price
Is too short to permit the farmer to
realize parity income, the Federal
Government will pay him the differ
ence from the Treasury.
Parity income is the met income of
farmers that bears to the income Of
individuals other than farmers the
same relation as prevailed during the
period from August, 1909, to July
1914"
During those years the farmers per-
centage contribution to the national
income varied from 1879 to Is. In
1884 this percentage was 102.
Payments Estimated in Millions.
The annual amount of the payments
which would be needed to protect the
parity income has been estimated at
from $375 200, 900 to $3.50, 100000. For
the farmer to obtain parity income
from the market sale Of his produce,
he would have to sell at parity price
the price "for the commodity which
will give to the commodity a purchas-
ing power with respect to articles that
farmers buy. equivalent to the pur-
chasing power Of such commodity in
the period from August, 1909, to July,
1914, or in the case of tobacco, August,
1919, to July, 1929"
So the farmers income is protected

ing the weather Obviously winds and
rains don't give hoot for Congress

short-crop effects OF drought. He
calls it the ever-normal granary, and
it is provided for in the agricultural
bill awaiting Congress return.
The ever-normal granary has been
dramatized sentimentally as a twen-
tieth century revival of the seven-year
storage plan OF Joseph of Biblical
fame. 1t has been condemned as a
reversion to the Federal Farm Board
plan Of President Hoover. The board
bought and stored surpluses, which
were such threat to the market that
prices were depressed.
Control Is New Feature.
The Farm Board. however. had no
control over the amount Of q COM
modify produced or the amount mar
keted. Production could be regulated
within some degree by the adjustable
acreage Limitation Of the Jones Pope
,, McGlll bill. To stabilize the market,
the bill empowers the Secretary of
Agriculture, 80 days before the be-
ginning of the marketing year for
any commodity, to proclaim whether
the probable supply of the commodity
will exceed the need, and then to con-
duct referendum among the pro-
ducers of the commodity as to whether
they wish to have a marketing quota
tablished.
If two-thirds of the producers in
the referendum agreed, the Secretary
would proclaim how much OF the
commodity would be permitted to 90 to
market. The quantity would be di-
vided among the growers by local
committees.
Production in excess of the quotas
would go into storage under the ever
normal granary feature Of the bill.
Accordingly, when production failed
to meet the country's needs, the stored
commodity would be marketed. And
since, meanwhile, the farmers would
be under market restriction on their
production, the market, the theory
goes, never would be glutted as it
was when the Farm Board was op-
Grating
Farmers guilty of marketing more
than their quota would be deprived
during the following year of payments

BY its outspoken reassertion of the

I'VE have made it clear" he said,
that in our opinion the declaration
in the treaty carries with it the duty
OF performance. We have made it
clear that it necessarily alters the
whole attitude of the world toward
war; that whereas during the CEN
turies hitherto war has been one of
the natural functions OF government,
giving rise to legal rights and obliga-
tions, hereafter among the signers
OF this treaty war will be an illegal

has become the rightful concern Of

It was In this spirit and as q nat

Both Vanished in Paris
After Replies to Ads

PARIS, Dec. is I.N.S0.-Detec-
tiveS Of the Surete Rationale today
started on the trail of two missing
women which, they said, may lead
to the door of the "bluebeard"
Eugene Weidmann murder villa at
st. Cloud.
The two women, like Jaime Kel-
Ter, whose body was found yester.
day, vanished after answering
want lads" for employment.
BULLET STUDIED
To settle the bitter feud raging
between the two chief conspirators
In the murder syndicate" balliS-
tics experts meanwhile examined
q bullet to determine whether
Weidmann or Roger Million pulled
the trigger when Roger LeBlond
was slain.
Weidmann and Miller, of the
four arrested at Versailles, are the
only two who face the guillotine.
Jean Leblanc and Colette Tricot
will escape Monsieur de Paris"
because French law does not con-
slider mere knowledge of murder
as completely.
Nevertheless, the 25-year-old
Mile. Tricot plunged today into
the bitter battle raging between
cells in the prison which once
confined "Bluebeard" Landru.
CALLS HIM LIAR
She called Weidmann a "liar"
after he accused her of accepting
Nine. Keller'S diamond ring.
Million vehemently reiterated
his denials that he shot LeBlond
after Weidmann showed nim
where to aim, in the back of the
neck.
One mystery which has been
puzzling detectives apparently
was cleared with the discovery of
several blonde wigs in the st.
Cloud murder villa. Either Weld,
mann or Million sometimes posed
as a woman, police surmised, thus
accounting for the blonde some
times seen around the villa.
