RHER R AREEHENT G Brookings !Institution Rec- ommends Continued “Exper- imentation With Pacts.” By the Assoclated Pres. The Brookings Institution yester- day recommended further “experi- mentation” with marketing agree- ments designed to improve prices for farm products, asserting their “long- run beneficial effects” had not been clearly established. In a study made by Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, director of the Institute of Economics, the institution said mar- k.ting agreements were not new and represented an extension of a move- ment begun during the “Hoover ad- ministration.” Provision of Agreements. ‘Marketing agreements, under the adjustment act, provide that produc- ers of a crop in a given area Wwill conform to certain regulations gov- erning distribution. These regula- tlons, drafted over the signature of the Secretary of Agriculture. specify methods of distribution intended to raise the price to the producer. Under the original act, the Secre- tary was authorized to issues licenses binding all producers in an area cov- ered by a marketing agreement to abide by its terms. The recently en- acted A. A.

PARIS, October 28 —France's en- listment with the nations which have accepted economic sauctions against Italy sent hopes dwindling today for any early discovery of a satisfactory basis for settlement of the Italo- Ethiopian conflict. Reports that the Italian Army had resumed active operations in Ethiopia also gave a setback to earlier optimism over peace negotiations. Informed French quarters said dip- lomatic exchanges were being resumed today after a week end lapse, but they conceded that the peace process was bound to be slow and laborious. Domestic Affairs Pressing. Premier Pierre Laval, who had tak- en the lead in the negotiations be- tween Rome, Paris and London, sud- denly found his hands full with do- mestic affairs. Drafting of 100-odd fresh decree laws for approval by the cabinet and promulgation before the government's special powers expire October 31 con- fronted the premier. Responsible French sources said they considered the application of eco- nomic sanctions against Italy to be unavoidable. (The League of Nations’ General Staff for Sanctions will meet October 31 to fix the date for enforcement of an economic boycott of Italy, both France and Great Britain having giv- en notice of their acceptance of the measure.) Applications of sanctions was de- manded by the dominant Radical { Socialist party of former Premier Edouard Herriot, which holds six seats in Laval's cabinet. Condemnation Reiterated.

VIENNA, October 28.—Supporters of Austria’s spectacular vice chancellor, | young Prince Ernst von Starhemberg, | talked freely today of putting a royal scepter in his hands. The prince, a friend of Benito Mus- solini and a foe of Adolf Hitler, has opposed immediate restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty with increasing vigor. With his grip on the government strengthened appreciably by the re- cent shake-up in the cabinet, the Fascist leader of the Heimwehr (Home Guard) may be installed as regent “about Christmas time,” predicted friends Tentative plans call for merging the Heimwehr with Austria's other private armies January 1. If a regency were created before the end of the year, Starhemberg still would have direct control of his Heimwehr. May Be Named King. A high authority in the Heimwehr and Patriotic Fatherland Front put the proposition regarding a restoration of a monarchial form of government in this way “The possibility that soon thereafter (the naming of a regent) he might be proclaimed King must be reckoned with.” Meanwhile, the Austrian government is carrying on with a President whose term under the old constitution ex- pired October 20.

BALTIMORE, October 28 (#)— Maryland farmers appeared today to have given a hearty indorsement to continuation of the corn-hog reduc- tion program in 1936. Returns from 16 of the 23 counties in the State showed 1,559 farmers favored new reduction contracts while only 149 voted against them. This ‘was a margin of 10 to 1 in favor of the Federal program. The largest vote was cast in Fred- erick County. There, 385 votes for the contracts and only 20 against.

The employes of the Associated Press are paying for this advertisement with their own voluntary contributions, ex- press themselves as they do in this| advertisement without a director or 'any other member of the Associated Press having previously seen the same.

P. is the only news service in America operated sole- ly to serve newspapers. Traces News Agencies. Explaining this statement, the ad- vertisement traces the history of crea-| tion of news agencies in Europe, “cre- | ated to serve at profit others than newspapers,” and later serving news- papers. Here in America, it is explained, the | reverse now is true. Certain press associations originally organized to serve newspapers have started services directly or indirectly to advertisers, United States Government offices, radio stations and others, and are now defined as “news agencies.” Regretting this change. the A. P. advertisement declares “‘America has been particularly fortunate in that the press associations were solely in- struments of the newspapers and not independent of the newspapers’ best interests. Attitude of A. P. Men. “It would bring a strange feeling,” continues the advertisement, “even in this changing world if the A. P. man's duty was to try, among other things, to obtain and deliver a good news story that would satisfy a United States Government office client or an advertising client in the | same way he wants his news reports The A.

P. the newspapers are the masters and the Associated Press is the servant.” Opinion of Mr. Noyes. The advertisement quotes a mes- sage from Frank B.

This action was on the right flank of the southern army as it made a renewed advance, preceded by tanks and bombing planes. The army now was understood to hold a front of over 400 miles running from British So- maliland to the junction of Kenya and the Juba territory. making this preliminary phase of the invasion of Southeastern Ethiopia.

A friend of the Prince who occupies one of the most important positions in the government argued that a Starhemberg dynasty would be prefer- able to a restoration of the Hapsburgs because the pretender to the throne, Archduke Otto, wants a democratic kingdom, an idea ‘“repulsive to the Fascist spirit of the new Austria.” He said the little entente and some other states oppose putting a Hapsburg on the throne. Starhemberg’s attitude toward the movement to make him regent was undiscloesd. but in an address he warned the most strict discipline would be required “from new men of the new Austria, and history will record that you were pioneers in the creation of a new state.” “We now depend only on our straight-shooting machine guns,” he added. in answer to the challenge of “our barbaric Western neighbor.” —— & Guild to Give Luncheon.

Young, after directing representa- tives of the bureau to make an imme- diate survey of the situation, com- municated by telephone with New York State conservation authorities. A report from bureau officials is ex- pected during the afternoon, and Young said that if the report indicates the geese are in danger, he will then accept the Navy's offer. Planes, Young said, have been used successfully to frighten geese away from grain fields and it was thought the roar of low-flying planes might frighten away the birds in Niagara River. the general staff, and Maj.
