MADRID (P) A lsnd grsnt estt mitd a, up In the hundred mil lion constitutes the prl7 which the present administration hopes to ofler Spanish peasants as reward for their adhesion to the republic. An Inventory board appointed by the treasury department la listing lads or the aristocracy, making ready to distribute arable acres among the people under tne recently approved arrarlan reform law. Former grandees and other aristo crats, who received their properties from benign monarcha. staiM to lose property estimated at 20o.ou0,000. Proud Names Involved. Offlolala admit, however, that this total may b. reduced through mort gage and lease technicalities which they may not be able to overcome. Proud names figure In the owner ahlp of lands subject to confiscation. The Dukes of Infantado, Pernan Nu ns, Medlnacoll! and Romanones are listed as holding lands ranging from 3,000,000 to 17,000.000 In value for each. These holdings a e being scru tinized as possible "heritages of the Spanish peasant." Two major problems affect the probable action. Under the reform law the government must decide whether these aristocrat used their "palatine rights," or In other words acted as stewards to the royal family. Also It must decide whether the dons used other privilege of their exalted station, auch as the prerog ative of outomatlo access to the sen ate with full voting rowere. Sons Plan to Keslst. Romanones, Alba. Medlnocellt and other outstanding flgmea of -he past regime are arraying legal lights to defend their Interests. Doughty Romanones atands out particularly as a staunoh defender of property which he claims to have "amassed and administered aa a true Spaniard throughout a lengthy ca reer devoted to home and country." Others of the affected arlstocrata are reported so to have tied up their holdings In mortgage and leases that the agrarian reform Institute may find itself facing International law In numerous instances.

(AP) An actual shortage of small to medium sized turkeys was shown In Port land for the Christmas trade despite the grestest supply ever received here for like period. The most Intensive demand has been shown to date for small to medium sized birds with more or leas discrimina tion against the larger toms the weights from 18 pounds up. Prices stiffened somewhat for the hen turkeys but 13c remains the general top today. Here and there a turkey or two may be sold to some retailer shove this price but In whole, saw lots 15c Is the general extreme. The movement of large toms Into storage has been forced by the lack of demand. The extreme low price has created some speculative interest In those birds. Livestock PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 23.
