Foreign Policy Group
Sees Need for Biq Army

A mass army may "conceivably be
necessary" whether the United
States stands its ground in the West
ern Hemisphere against a hostile
outside world or chooses to aid Great
Britain, the Foreign Policy Associa-
ton said yesterday.
In either case, the association
said, this country should have suf-
ficient time for the training and
equipping of hundreds of thousands
of newly inducted men. A Regular
Army of 100000 to 100000 COM
pletely equipped mobile troops ready
for quick transportation" would be
able to cope with possible invaders,

Add to headaches nursed today
by the sorely debated Washington
Redskins and the fans who con-
tributed more than 100000 to
witness the 1910 Indian massacre at
Griffith Stadium yesterday the
financial hangovers of the wise boys
whose ticket-scalping efforts BOOM
eranged.
Some scalpers, professional and
amateur, who foresaw great none
tary gains in week end ticket
manipulations and stocked heavily,
were left wailing by the wayside.
Eight, moreover, were forced to
contribute from IS to $40 collateral
when the law added to their woes.
The charge was vending without
license.
One Throws His Away.
Optimism still reigned in the ranks
of the scalpers two hours before
game time. They offered tickets at
a decided markup. But by 1890
they were pleading with passersby
to take the pasteboards at cost.
Thirty minutes later the $3.50 tickets
were being barked for 81, still with
no takers, and with the opening
kickoff the prices were slashed to Is
and so cents.
One operator repeatedly barked
himself hoarse until the game got
under way, then tossed his supply
in the air, save one, and marched
dejectedly into the park to join the
ordinary folk. Most of the street
venders we're described by police as
small fry"
Only one big operator was working
the game, they said, and he set up
| in q legal manner with a license in
q store opposite the stadium on
Georgia avenue. He kept q come
on" hireling on the street but his
visitors were few.
Tickets Available at Window.
Stories earlier in the week of a
complete sellout were given a taint
when one of the ticket windows at
Griffith Stadium was opened and
several hundred tickets offered for
sale. The window employe couldn't
tell where they came from except
that no money had been refunded
Apparently part of the block of 1000
sent to Chicago had been returned.
Despite unprecedented corps OF
detectives and uniformed policemen
on duty at the stadium, petty thieves
were almost as active as the Bears

Farm Bureau Report
Fears Costly Control
By Bureaucracy
Federation Convention
Discusses Problems Of
Tobacco, Livestock Men
BY the Associated Press.

by TIE ASSOCldteu fTeSS.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 9.-The Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation stud
led a report by its research staff
today that the New Deal, through
! operation of it's multi million dollar
! farmer-aid programs, had built up
large official staffs that threatened
/ to place agriculture under costly
bureaucratic control"
The report was prepared under
direction of w. R. Ogg. the farm
organizations Washington repre-
/ sentative and research director. 1t
was laid before the Resolutions
Committee of the federation's 22d
annual convention opening today.
| Offcials said the RESOLUTIONS Com
,mittee planned to invite Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard, A. A. A..
Administrator R. M. Evans and
other Agriculture Department Off
cials to discuss ways of decentraliZ-
ing administration of farm pro-
grams. Secretary Wickard and Mr..
Evans are scheduled to address the
convention
Seven Different Agencies
The Ogg report, which was being
withheld from publication for the
time being, was said by officials to
show that as many as seven differ
ent Agriculture Department agencies,
each with its own staff, were ad-
ministering programs which had
virtually identical objectives. The
report, it was said, cited ways of
saving several million dollars an
nually in administrative expenses.
Members said that it was possible
that the Resolutions Committee
might ask the federation to 60 on
record for legislation which would
/ give the States, through land grant
agricultural colleges, greater respon-
sibility in conduct of farm programs.
The Resolutions Committee took
up many other agricultural prob
lens, including ways of boosting
farm income and combating losses
in foreign markets for American
crops.
Revision of Farm Laws.
Some federation delegates, led by
Edward A. O'Neal, president, favored
a revision in present farm laws
which would permit the Govern
ment to make loans on basic COM
modities at levels which would peg
prices at so-called parity" levels.
Opposition to such plan has
been voiced in administration farm
circles, where re-enactment of pro-
cessing taxes for raising farm sub.
| sides is favored.
Mr.. ONeal believes it unlikely that
Congress, faced with demands for
huge sums for national defense,
would appropriate sufficient money
to finance crop control programs as
now constituted.
Today's session was devoted to
conferences dealing with problems
confronting cotton, wheat, corn,
livestock, tobacco, fruits and other
important sources of farm income.
The convention proper will open to-
morrow with Mr.. ONeal's annual
report.
Lord Lothian, British Ambassador
to the United States. and Chester
A. Davis, agriculture's representa-
tive on the National Defense Com
mission, are among those scheduled
to address the four-day convention
