BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. IL. CUP)
Assistant Attorney General Thur
man H. Arnold, said today that un-
less steps are taken TO prevent un-
warranted war boom prices, gov
ernment subsidies for defense
industries must be provided
In a speech before the 22nd an
nual convention of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, Arnold
said national defense costs would
pyramid 'if there are unnecessary
housing costs and drug costs and
fuel costs and other living costs. "
Peace time industries will have
to be subsidized he said. And on
top of all that must be added per-
hapS a 100000 a year to
distribute the necessities of life to
the persons in a time industry
who are put at a disadvantage by
the war-boom industries"
Emphasizing that his statement
was not a prophecy. Arnold as
serted that the farmers problem
would be equally acute should an
unwarranted price rise occur.
IF industrial prices behave like
a skyrocket," he said, "the farmer
will suffer the full force of a dis
location in the price structure which
may be more severe than we have
yet experienced. He will lose ali
that he has so laboriously gained
toward a parity between the prices
of farm products and manufactured
goods"

Greeks Threaten
Important Bases

STRUGA, Jugoslavia Frontier,
Dec. II. CUP)-Greek troops were
reported in frontier dispatches to-
day as seriously threatening Port
Palermo on the coast and Tepelini,
only important Italian concentra-
ton points south of the main Ital-
ian base at Elbasan.
The Greeks were reported only
five miles from Tepelini and dis
patches said their artillery shells
were crashing into the town, setting
fires and causing heavy casualties.
The Greeks were said to be she'll
ing Tepelini from the village of
Benca, which they occupied early
today after a fierce battle which
formed part of an attempt to out
flank Tepelini from the southwest.
Frontier dispatches said that the
Greeks also were attempting to out
flank Port Palermo, into which
Italians, who formerly held Porto
Edda had been driven when the
port fell to the Greeks.

State Parks Over
Budget. Now Face
Reduced Program

SACRAMENTO, Dec. II. (UP)-
Richard Schase, state director of
natural resources, today recon-
mended a halt be called in the
state park acquisition program fol-
lowing disclosure in a departmental
budget hearing that expenses Of
the division of parks have far eX-
ceeded the 1939-40 budget.
He also recommended a park clas-
sification system, based upon the
necessity for maintenance.
I'VE must keep and maintain
parks close to large centers of popu-
lation," Schase said. They will be
in the first group. A second group
will be those whose necessity is
debatable. But those in the third
group for which there is no absolute
necessity we will have to let 60"
In the future, Schase said, the
department will look every gift
horse in the mouth to prevent
being saddled with property which
would entail expenditures for i'm
provement or maintenance.
Darwin Tate, chief of the di-
vision of parks. explained that
decrease in revenue from oil re-
sources of state owned lands was
responsible for the unbalanced 1882
Al budget. During the present
biennium, department officials ex-
planned, it was necessary to obtain
Sl34,000 from the emergency fund
and $4,000 from the general fund
to meet requirements.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Dec. IL. (UP)-Additiona legisla-
ton to give military officials power
to clean up civil areas surrounding
army and navy camps was urged
today by DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
president of Stanford University
and president of the American So
clal Hygiene association.
He demanded a nationwide battle
against greed and entrenched poll
tical forces to protect American
soldiers from venereal disease
The fundamental issue in this
social and medical question is what
support will the public itself and
the civilian officials give in clean
ing up conditions near camps and
keeping them clean?" DR.. Wilbur
said.
Simple and effective measures
now are available to control Syphil-
is and gonorrhea and are being ap-
piled in army and navy concen-
tration points, but for maximum
effect these precautionary methods

Arizona Traffic
Deaths Soarinq

PHOENIX, Dec. II. CUP)-With
20 days still remaining in the old
year, Arizona's 1910 traffic fatality
toll stands at 202 dead as compared
to 1872 at a corresponding date
last year, the state highway patrol
announced today.
A recheck of auto accidents since
the first of the year raised the
previously announced death t oil !
from 1879 to 2O2, the patrol said. In
addition, names of three men who
died in the Fort Defiance hospital
from crash injuries were removed

scheduled for that month. This.
however, would leave the schedule
$4,000 men behind as compared with
the Oct. II timetable.
Officials believe that the plan to
have an army of 100000 men by
June 80 can be carried out. proyid-
ing shortages of building material
or labor do not develop. Each corps

sibility of determining when his

must be supplemented by control
in nearby communities, DR.. Wilbur
went on.
Here is where civilian authorities
can aid, he pointed out: By en-
forcing existing legislation to clean
up area surrounding camps.
Red light" districts, sanctioned
and controlled near military areas
are hopeless. 1T won't work and
it should not even be considered
