A-10 FARMERS 10 HEA - WOOL POOL PLANS Prince Georges Growers to Meet to Discuss Benefits of Naticnal Organization. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., May 13.— Farmers of Prince Georgers County, who expect to participate in the benefits of the new National Wool Marketing Cor- ration, which has just been estab- hed by the Federal Farm Board, and which plans to advance 90 per cent of the market value of wool when delivered to co-operative warehouses, will meet at the court house Friday night to hear details of the scheme explained. The scheduled speakers include S. B. Shaw, marketing specialist, and Kenneth Clark, animal husbandry specialist, of the ex-! tension service of the University of Maryland. County Agent Posey will pre- side. Membership Requirements. Membership in the National Wool Marketing gorporatlon is limited to co-operative associations that sign an agresment to ]handle at least 500,000 unds of wool. WAS Maryland produces only 300,000 unds, and the same situation exists gf & number of other States in this sec- tion, it was necessary to form a regional wool association, known as the “United ‘Wool Growers’ Association, Inc.,” which will care for the smaller producing Btates. The co-operative agency in Maryland will be called “The Maryland Farm Bu- reau Wool Pool” and will admit all farmers, whether or mot they are mem- bers of the Farm Bureau. Aside from the fact that the farmer will receive, through this plan, the best possible price for his wool, one of the greatest advantages claimed for the idea is that the national corporation ex- pects to have under its control one-third OVERPRODUCTION IS HIT BY RYAN AT CONFERENCE Criticizes Hoover and Other U. S. Leaders in Address Before Catholic Industrial Parley. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo., May 13.—Overpro- duction of industries and not the stock market crash has been cited before the Catholic conference on industrial prob- lems here by Rev, Father John A. Ryan, ‘Washington, D. C., as the cause of an unemployment_situation. “An accumulation, due to the chronic capacity of our industries for overpro- duction,” was advanced by the speaker last night as America’s present prob- lem. He criticized President Hoover and other Government leaders, saying they have “done little else than talk optimistically.” A substantial and Nation-wide wage increase would create a greater demand for goods, Father Ryan said, and would put idle machinery in motion and pro- vide work for the unemployed. —_— GIFT OF $1,000,000 PLEDGED TO SCOUTS Edward 8.

Cunc CAMELS TRANSPORT HOTEL 300 MILES Structure Is Moved Across Desert in Sections of 200 Pounds Each. By the Associated Press. TIMIMOUN, Southén Algeria, May 13.—A hotel, loaded on camels, has been brought across the sands 500 miles from the nearest railroad, to this oasis in the Sahara Desert. It is the southernmost of a string of 43 hotels built in Northern Africa by the French Line, with the co-operation of the French government, and is part of France's plan to develop Tunis, Al- geria and Morocco into a new France only a couple of hours distant by air- plane from the homeland. The hotel came in sections, in pack- of 200 pounds each, by camel. Caravan after caravan, traveling 45 dlilu. brought here the tons and tons of hardware, windows, doors, glass, linen and silver, electrical installation and hundreds of other things the Arabs in their tents never saw. Neither architects nor workmen would come here to work in the Sahara. Hence the hotel was built by French Line en- gineers, who traced on the sand the outline of the building because the na- tives wouldn't have anything to do with blaprinte: Belche cmds Mere by the natives formed the walls and date-palm trunks furnished girders, but nearly everything else came on a camel'’s back. LOS ANGELES PRESENTS WHALEN’S CRIME DATA Burglary Should Not Be Listed as Violent Crime, Giving City Black Record, Police View. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 13.—Until New York City and Los Angeles agree on what constitutes a crime of violence, there is going to be strong denial here to the assertion of New York’s police com- missioner, Grover A. Whalen, that the number of violent crimes in Los An- geles in 1929 nearly led the country. In a table headed “New York Free From Crime,” Whalen gave Los Angeles 535.6 violent crimes for every 100,000 population and New York only 74.1. Los Angeles, in Whalen’s figures, was ex- ceeded only by St. Louis.
