January 10.—More than 25,000 acres of land nominally went into the custody of the ‘State of Virginia as Spotsylvania court aause yesterday for delinquent 1931 IXes. Approximately 30,000 acres on which 1931 taxes were in arrears were put up | at public auction and only 16 pieces ‘were bid in by individuals. The remain- ing 770 pieces brought no bids, despite the fact that a large group was pres- ent. Those pieces on which there were no bids were “knocked down” to the State comptroller. Under the law owners can redeem at any time within two years by paying the taxes assessed. entire acreage was disposed of within two and a half hours. A large | crowd was present.

Crotia, as an independent neighbor- ing state, would be infinitely less trou- ble to the Serbs in Belgrade than as a constituent part of Yugoslavia forever threatening internal chags. Many Serbs in Belgrade still subscri to the old Pasitch policy of wanting a ‘“greater Serbia,” with more limifed area, but with greater concentration of power than the present loosely organized and sprawling Yugoslavia King Alexander thought he could solve the Croat problem by the au- thority of his personal dictatorship!

Gloomy Picture of Conditions. “The darkest places in the tragedy of unemployment which now hangs over America are to be found in the coal mining regions,” Kennedy said. “For the United States as a whole we esti- mate that there are about 310,000 coal miners unemployed at the present time. Of this total, 50.000 are from the an- thracite mines of Pennsylvania and the remainder from the bituminous fields.” Kennedy sald the attitude of the miners was one of “subdued rebellion,” adding that suffering has ' ticularly intensive in the non-unionized fields.” The witness described as “totally inadequate” the $20,000,000 relief ap- BARGAI aid are compelled to “take virtually a pauper’s oath,” and would permit State, municipal and other public corpora- tions to borrow construction funds for use on needed public works without the requirement that they be “self-liquidat- ing.” PILOT SETS NEW MARK Flies Airline Plane From Kansas City to Chicago in 128 Minutes.

The majority report was similar—in of Samuel Seabury, independent Demo- who served as counsel to the commit- tee. Outstanding among the similari- ties was a plan to elect a proposed city council by proportional representation to give minorities an “adequate” voice. This has been described as a move to curb Tammany control. The Democratic minority on the com- mittee is expected to file a markedly different report. It foreshadows a probable battle in the Legislature by friends and foes of Tammany. The Republicans ccntrol the House and the Democrats the Senate. Acid Stomach!
