BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Staff Correspondent of The UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Au- gust 8.—"“Battle and sudden bloodshed in America” was declared to be one of the possibilities of failure of the agri- cultural marketing act by Carl Willlams, secretary of the Federal Farm Board, speaking before the Institute of Public Affairs here last night. He concluded a vigorous defense of the efforts of the Farm Board to solve the agricultural situation, which have been attacked by other speakers before the_institute, by saying: “If this law fails either infinitely more radical laws or no laws at all will result. If more radical legislation is passed, who knows what will happen? If there are no laws either the American farmer will go down and down to the level of the European peasant or there will be battle and sudden bloodshed.” Mr. Williams said the board had been called upon to solve a problem “bigger than any which ever before has faced the American Nation in peacetime, a problem which has remained unsolved throughout the history of civilization.” Announcing the plans of the board for emergency drought relief, he said that approximately $90,000,000 of the originally appropriated revolving fund is available for the operation of the plan announced ycsterday to supply stock feed to farmers on two-year notes, providing the communities will guaran- tee the loans. Blames Business Government. ‘The agricultural depression was blamed directly on “the business man's government” before the institute by Dr. H. C. Taylor, former head of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of ;he Department of Agriculture, yester- ay king issue with the policies of the Federal Farm Board, he insisted that the farmer would come into his own again only by & return to the vigorous anti-trust enforcement of the days of Theodore Roosevelt. Dr. Taylor, introduced as one of the foremost agricultural economists in the world, proposed four measures for agri- cultural relief, as follows: Restoring competitive prices in the so-called competitive industries by mak- ing the Sherman anti-trust law ef- fective, by revivifying the Federal Trade Commission and by suspending that part of the work of the Department of Commerce which promotes the organi- zation of manufacturing and trade groups for the more effective limitation of competition. Fixing reasonable prices in flelds where monopolistic control is inevitable by making public utility commissions effective in establishing fair rates on a basis equally fair to stockholders and consuming public. Reducing to its proper sphere special privilege legislation and particularly the protective tariff which “has been used 50 _excessively as a means of elevating prices in the interest of inordinate profits of certain industries at the ex- pense of the consuming public.” Removing the obstacles hampering the present agencies for collecting and disseminating information available alike to all producers, buyers, sellers and investors. Hits Trade Organizations. ‘The agricultural situation, he sald, results from the placid acceptance of the false philosophy that “if business prospers all will prosper. ‘Thus, he said, the Department of Commerce has actually gone out of its way to pro- mote trade organizations limiting price- slashing competition within trades as “bad business.” The farmers, unor- ganized and probably unorganizable, have gone down in the face of an or- ganized industry which dictates the !l prices they shall pay while the prices they receive are regulated by the law of supply and demand. E “If those laws which relate to com- petition and price were administered in an effective manner,” he said, “and certain special privilige legislation re- pealed. little more could be asked by | American farmers. But these basic con- ditions of our economic ife have not been administered effectively in the interest of general welfare in recent years. The administration has abandoned the old policies without legislative pro- vision for so doing. It would appear that we have today no well thought out plan for ordering the economic life of the people as a whole, but rather an extra legal plan which provides for limitation of competition, presumably in the interest of efficiency of produc- tion, but more often in the interest of efficiency in acquisition. Business men often fail to discriminate between them. “The ease with which some industries can limit competition and thus enhance prices, and the practical impossibility of doing the same in other industries, makes this policy of freedom tc limit THE EVENING STAR, WAS VETERAN U.

New Order of Economic Society. “As I contemplate the present trend of affairs it appears to me that & new order of economic society may be creep- ing upon us unawares. It is not likely that this new order, whether it be one of exploitation, due to lack of public control, or one of economic justice, will come without struggle. One is in dan- ger of becoming a reactionary in the presence of the extremely dangerous trends which place the economic life of the Nation at the mercy of a group operating in its own private interests. “This new regime of limited com- petition has not only come into exist- ence without congressional provision or sanction, but unknown to the rank and file of the people. The Federal Farm Board cannot_take care of the needs of agriculture. The major needs are the duties of the old established agencles of government which, under the present regime, are in large measure ineffective. “When the chairman of the Farm Board indicated the desirabllity of a 25 per cent cut in wheat production in the United States as a means of making the tariff on wheat effective and thus ncing the price he was speaking in harmony with the policy which is being generally promulgated by the adminis- tration, but which has no possible chance of suecess in agriculture under the present law. “Since I prepared these views I have taken the trouble to submit them to a considerable number of business men and economists. All agree that a new regime of limitation of competition is upon us and they almost uniformly look upon it as essential in modern indus- trial life. The arguments at one time voiced against the wastes of the com- petitive system by socialists are now voiced by business men who have no thought of embracing socialism. They fail to suggest any method of securing Jjustice in the distribution of incomes under the regime of limited comfetition. “In a government run ;QW business men there is no hope. Statesmen are needed to look to the welfare of all, not simply to the profits of the few. Farm- ers should insist on' maintaining the competitive regime until a new regime has been lawfully founded which will take care of the problem of providing equitable incomes as well as the prob- lem of efficiency in production,” — e Marriage Licenses. : arlo, Myron M.

C, PORTAL PARK PLAN COMMITTEE NAMED Wisconsin Avenue Project to Be Subject of Con- ference. A step toward a definite plan for a portal park on Wisconsin avenue at the Maryland State line was taken Ilast night by the Maryland-National Capi- tal Park and Planning Commission, when a committee was named to confer with District officials and residents of the neighborhood concerning the proj- ect. Such a park has been discussed for some time by the various civic bodies of Bethesda and the District in the vi- cinity of the proposed project, but an agreement has yet to be reached on the form the park should take. The most enerally favored proposal, however, gu been for a circle similar to the one at Chevy Chase. Meeting Planned. The planning commission authorized its president, Irvin Owings, and Chief Engineer Irving C. Root to arrange & meeting with representatives of the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce, other interested civic bodles, the District Engineer's Office and the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commission. Plans of the Maryland State Roads Commission for widening the Defense Highway between Bladensbur and Lanham, widening the Washington- Baltimore boulevard between Hyatts- ville and Beltsville, construction of & railroad overpass at Kensington and of another overpass at Lanham, on the Defense Highway, were approved by the planners. The Defense Highway is to be widened from 16 feet to 20 feet, while the Bal- timore Boulevard, now about 20 feet in width, will be enlarged inte & 40-foot road! Kensington Overpass Approved. Approval of the plans for a three- span concrete bridge over the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad tracks at Ken- sington include indorsement of its loca- tion at Lincoln avenue, its width, grades Roads Commission. The bridge at Lanham will replace an old wooden structure, while the Ken- sington overpass will result in the elim= ination of a dangerous grade crossing. Plans drawn in the District engineer’'s office for an underpass on Piney Branch road in Takoma Park to eliminate the Chestnut street grade crossing were the subject of study by the commission and were referred fo the mefhbers from Montgomery County for further consid- eration. While the underpass would be in the District of Columbia, one of its approaches would be in Maryland. A 30-acre residential subdivision on the Forest Glen road near the Argyle Country Club was approved. ‘Two applications for changes in the zoning of property in Prince Georges County froi residential A to commer- cial D were approved by the commis- sion. The applicants were Elizabeth Bewley, owner of 170 feet of frontage on the Baltimore Boulevard at Berwyn, and A. M. Gover, owner of two lots at the nrthwest corner of Edmonston road and Defense Highway in Bladensburg. TWO FACE CHARGES ‘Two colored Baltimoreans, John Rich- ard Whiting, 37, and Leonard Stanmore, 38 years old, were brought here from Detectives Paul W. Jones and Howard W.

As chief clerk of the record and pen- sion office, he devised an eficiency rating which still is in use and also in- troduced a mail route service within the office, which eliminated door and room méssengers, and kept papers mov- ing from one paré of the building to another without the clerks leaving their desks. He also devised a precedent fil- ing system by which action by the var- ious sections of a e office could be co-ordinated, = wng searches of the records for the same or similar ques- tions were eliminated. Also by studying errors and their causes he succeeded in reducing office errors to a minimum. t was for these and other reasons that his retention was advocated by the of- ficials, despite his advanced age, as ing for the best interests of the serv- o It aiso is told of Mr. Frech that his principal recreation in hours of leisure, is bowling, in which game he usually holds his own against most of his Juniors. At the age of 81 he averaged a score of 92 a game, at 82 a score of 95, and at 83 a score of 96, while in one of his games during the past year he made 115.
