Germany Registers
StateIess Ukrainians
~ the Associated Press.

~ tHS hsSOCsStcu EfN8s.
BERLIN. Dec. 17.-Berlin news
papers carried the short announce
ment yesterday that all "stateless
Ukrainians were asked to send their
names and personal data to the
"Ukrainian confidential office"
which takes care of the interests
of stateless Ukrainians living within
Germany.
The announcement, OF possibly
portentous significance in view of
Germany's growing interest in the
Ukraine, a Soviet Russian republic,
involved those who had declined
to become Soviet Russian citizens.
Because of Germany's strict con-
troll of aliens. it was taken for
granted that the Ukrainian conf
Dental Office had government pro-
lection. The press notice indicated
that the Nazis were turning their
attention increasingly to the Uk-
raine.
Another indication of this in
terest is daily broadcast from
Vienna in the Ukrainian language.
It gives current news, as seen
through Nazi eyes, and is evidently
intended to give Ukrainians some
knowledge Of Nazi ideology
Since the broadcasts transcend
national boundaries, the Ukrainians
in Soviet Russia, Poland and
Czecho- -Slovakia can hear the pro-
grams.

Tobacco Growers
Vote Today on
Market Quotas
325,000 Are Eligible for
Secret BulIot on
Farm Low
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Marketing control provisions of the
New Deals farm law today faced
their second test Of farmer sentiment
in eight days.
Growers of hurley and dark type
tobacco in IA States are voting on a
proposal that the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration be au-
thorized to continue sales quotas on
next years crops in order to keep
price-depressing surpluses of the
market. Approval OF two-thirds OF
those voting Is required to make the
quotas effective
Ofncials estimated $50 900 hurley
and 5000 dark type growers were
eligible to vote in Alabama, Arkansas
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas
Kentucky. Missouri, North Carolina
Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee
Virginia and West Virginia.
Secret Ballots Cast.
Polls, at which secret ballots are
cast, opened at 9 am. and close at
pm, local time.
Last Saturday, growers of f1ue-
cured tobacco and rice turned down
marketing quotas for next year, but
cotton farmers approved them by a
large majority.
Rejection of quotas today, farm
officials said, probably would result
in efforts at the coming session of
Congress to simplify tobacco control
provisions of the existing law. They
said survey of the attitude toward
the present program showed many
tobacco farmers believed it too COM
plicated.
The law now provides for indi-
vidual acreage planting anotments
and marketing quotas. the latter de-
termined in pounds. This year many
farmers who complied with their
acreage allotments found that, under
their marketing quota, they could
not sell all the tobacco they pro-
duced unless they paid penalty taxes
Legislation May Be Changed.
Off1cials said it had been suggested
that the legislation be changed to
allow farmers to market, when
quotas are voted, all the tobacco they
produced on their acreage allot-
ments.
Approval of quotas would establish,
these marketing allowances: Burley
BIS 900 900 pounds, compared with
$50. 100 600 pounds permitted under
1888 quotas; dark-type. l3S 900 ,0OG
pounds, compared with lat 1886 .OOC
pounds under this years quotas.
The quotas would be apportioned
among individual growers on Z
formula prescribed in the farm act
Burley growers selling in excess OF
quotas would be subject to a penalty
tax Of the higher Of either so PEI
cent Of the sales price or ; cents q
pound, while the dark-type penalty
would be z cents 4 pound.
Whether quotas are approved OF
rejected, the A. A. A. would issue
acreage allotments. Growers com
plying with allotments will be eligible
for Government benefit payments o1
08 cents pound on hurley and l 4
cents pound on the dark type.

To Back Charges

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Dies said today the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities had received evidence that
the Communist party would attempt
to form national farmer labor
party within the next two years.
In radio address, Representative
Dies said the committee had re-
Sceived abundant evidence" to sup
port long series of findings against
the Communist Party in the United
States
He said these findings included ::
During the next two years it
will concentrate much of its effort
in the formation of national
farmer-labor party which it will
seek to dominate.
1T is an integral part of a world
revolutionary movement for prole-
tartan internationalism. -
Trojan Horse Tactics.
ut seeks ultimately the overthrow
OF the American form of government
as established by the Constitution
OF the United States. 1t aims to
set up dictatorship of the prole-
tariat in this country. So
TT is energetically applying the
Trojan horse tactics of penetrating
other organizations for the purpose
OF seeking to control them. or, fail
ing that, to destroy them. 1t is un-
usually active in our schools, both
openly and subtly insinuating its
propaganda into the minds of stu
dents. 1t is boring within the two
major political parties. 1t has pene-
trated the Government itself. .
1T Systematically and deliberately
oecelVes many of our people by the
use OF high-sounding names for or
CARNATIONS which profess laudable
obJectives. but which underneath are
designed solely to advance the cause
of Communism.
Work Through United Front,
1T exercises extensive influence

try through the device known as the

Representative Dies said the Nazis
and Fascists had shown themselves
apt students of the Communist
tactics and policies.
Il do not fear any successful mill
tary invasion of this country by a
foreign foe" he said. But I am
SATISFIED by the evidence which our
committee has amassed that this

mine the faith of our people in their
