' Sending of Data Expedited. Without regard to dispatches from Europe .that -an effort 1o postpone the conference might be made, the State " Department expedited the ending of the i+ data to the league. The opinion was ex- pressed by high Government officials that there would.be no postponement. The data gave America's total land effectives. as 139,957, including 13,080 officers, ‘#s compared with a maximum , strength for the Army under the na- tional defense act of 17,738 officers, 640 ‘warrant . officers and 280,000 enlisted men. National Guard was listed at “10,774 average daily effectives,” and was not included in the total forces be- cause it was reported “not available to the Pederal Government without meas- ures of mobilization.” The total strength of the naval force was fixed at 109,886, including 10,420 naval officers, 1,030 .officers and 17,500 enlisted personnel of the Marine Corps. Ths es were rated as of “average strength,” while the Army and Navy » Were credited with” having no “forma- tions organized on a military basis” ca- i pable of use without ‘“measures of mobilization.” Under the head of naval ship strength ‘were the tables as annexed to the Lon- don naval treaty. The total armed air forces, including effectives in the Army i and Navy, were placed at 27,325 officers and men, of which 13,155 were credited to the Army Air Corps and 14,169 to the naval air force. ,752 Total Planes. ‘The total number of airplanes in the armed forces was listed as 1,752, in- cluding 965 Army craft and 787 naval planes. Thres Army and two Ni dirigibles, including the Los Ange! ‘were added. It was explained that ne their branch had air components capa- ble of service without mobilization measures. The Army's 22,393 Reserve officers trained in the fiscal year 1930 were computed on a daily average of 1,075 and.were included in the Army total forces, as was the naval and Marine Reserve daily average of 1,402.2 effec- tives, of whom 323.4 were officers. LEGISLATOR FOUND WITH THROAT CUT at 5 knots, on a course east of north- east from the position in Midatlantic where she became disabled. The battleship took the Nautilus in tow at 5:30 am. Since early Sunday the Wyoming and the Arkansas, now on midshipmen cruises to European waters, have been standing by the disabled submarine. Sir Hubert Wilkins, her commander, re- ported that one or the Diesel engines upon which she depends for surface motor power had stalled. It was estimated that from the posi- tion last given by the Nautilus that the course in which she was being towed would take her to Queenstown. The submersible has encountered heavy seas since she left Provincetown, Mass., June 4. Saturday the starboard surface engin® failed when a cylinder cracked. Forced to proceed on its port surface engine, at about 8 knots in good weather, the submarine strained her remaining motor wheii she nosed into rough seas. Sunday the second e: e failed. To add to the peril of those aboard, the batteries used for under- surface travel lost their power. She then called for help. Thé Wyoming and Arkansas, en route with Naval Academy midshipmen to Queenstown, Ireland, on the annual Summer cruise, speeded to the subma- rine. They made unsuccessful efforts to get a towline aboard the craft, but with heavy winds striking the unusually high superstructure it was impossible to make connection. The Nautilus did not have enough power to maneuver hersélf into ition. malpt. Sloan Danenhower, an experi- enced submarine officer, is*in command of the Wilkins craft.

R, G. A. R. QUITS PARADE WITH FLAG OF SOUTH Union Veterans Refuse to March in Baltimore With Symbol of Confederacy. By the Assoctated Press. BALTIMORE, June 15.—Members of the Grand Army of Republic, Mary- land's survivors of the Union forces of the Civil War, declined to.march here yesterday in a Flag day procession, be- cause the Confederate flag was carried by a Boy Scout at the head of the col- umn. As the parade formed at the war me- morial the Confederate flag, with the Stars and Stripes and the flag of Mary- land was placed in front. The aged veterans broke rank, stepped aside and returned to their homes. A member of the Legion of Valor, comprised of dec- unhg men of all wars, also refused to march. Gen. John R. King, a_past national commander of the G. A. R., did not at- tend the ceremonies. He had written to Col. Harry C.

A shrinkage of an overstuffed world wheat basket was seen today by Samuel R. McKelvis as a possible résult of the recent London international wheat con- ference. ‘The grain member of the Farm Board, one of the United States delegates, told his colleagues in a report that “all in all the conference may be regarded as hav- ing been worth while.” McKelvie retires today after a two- year service. He plans to return to his Nebraska farm. Acreage to Be Cut. In discussing the problem of over- production of wheat, he said: “Each country will have to approach the ques- | ton in its own way. is is facilitated | and expedited by conversations that lay bare the underlying facts. Acreage reduction is coming about in Australia, tina and Canada thrcugh ‘sheer necessity. It will be hastened by a real- ization that there is no legerdemain by which such abnorma! quantities of wheat can be disposed of at a profit to the grower. It is apparent that Russia is not so happy with her situation, and some of the Balkan states are looking to other crops than wheat. These are encou: g signs.” McKelvie asserted that exporting na- tions at the London meeting favoring a quota plan for contrclling surpluses would have been well content with recognition of that principle. “Having gotten that,” he said, “the next steps would have come along in logical form.” He added that few, if any, of the representatives had suthority to pledge their governments to such an agree- ment. Russia Favors Pool. ‘The United States delegates, he said, asked for definite information on how the proposed export pool would operate, the quotas, and who wculd control it. “No effort was made to give the answer,” McKelvie said. “In fact one gromlnznt delegate said that if this in- ormation were insisted upon we had as well adjourn.” Russis, he said, favored such a pool. He told the dele- gates of efforts here to reduce produc- tion, and how American growers had been out of the export market for months. “We had no intention of abandoning the world market, but we hoped to get back to a pre-war ex basis,” he said he informed the conference. “All of this had been done in the interest of our own growers and we asked no lmm'.hy or commendation for it. We did hope other countries would do lke- wise. Meanwhile, they were i1 a poor position to ask our approval of a policy that was unsound principle and wholly unworkable, except as it might come about throufh the ommnnln lon and co-operation of growers lves.

Gov. Ritchie replied to Mr. Gleeson that when the contract for the job in question was aw: successful bidder was informed that Maryland labor was wanted on the job, and the Governor said that his assur- ances are that none but local labor is being employed. However, Thomas A. Lane, business agent of the international, said he made an investigation of the conditions on the fleld house there, and informed a re- porter for The Star today that he had found not only that North labor was being employed at 80 cents an hour as against the prevailing rate of $1.75 an hour, but that there were auto- mobiles, used b&f.he masons, parked | close to the job, bearing North Carolina license tags.
