WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The AAA
Yugoslav Troops
In Forays Across
Hungarian Border
GENEVA. Pec. 7. CAP) Eduard Bonos, Czechoslovakia!, foreign mln-
crowd has found It can catch more i trior, warned the lcngne of nations council today that If anvone strikes
congressmen with Chester Davis mo-
lasses than with
Tugwell vinegar.
You remember
those three
amendments to
the AAA act
which were
thrown into the
ash can at the
last session of
congress by
southern Demo
cratic s e n a -tors,
who said
the amendments
would make Prof.
i '
Paal MalJoo
Tugwell a Rex or something like that.
Well, Messrs. Davis and Wallace
have privately retrieved them, dusted
them off, sugared them very, very
cautiously and are going to try them
again this session.
The plan is clever. Instead of pro
posing all three at once, Messrs. Da
via and Wallace are going to put for
ward one at a time. The two uon
controversial amendments wilt go
first. Last to bo offered will be the
one extending the AAA power over
small crops not in the ' baste com
modity group. Each probably will be
attached to some bill, so as not to
stand alone .
What' heartened Coots Davis and
Wallace was an inside tip they re
ceived a few days ago that Virginia
Senator Byrd has changed his mind.
Byrd led the successful resistance to
the amendments last time.
Since th i, Virginia farmers have
voted in a referendum to continue
the corn-hog program. Also, co-op-operation
from Virginia tobacco
growers has been extraordinary. Fur
thermore, there are some Virginia j
potato growers who have been trying
to get their commodity Into the basic
list.
Alt Byrd will say Is that he has
nothing to say, which tends to con-!
firm AAA hopes.
The AAA-ers already have gone
to work on the farm crowd to get
approval for revival of the amend
ments. Soon they Intend to call In
the members of congress and attempt
to get an agreement before the
amendments are formally offered.
Great stress will be laid by the
AAA-ers on the fact that these are
not Tugwell amendments. Prof. Tug
well probably will be hidden when
the congressmen call.
That fact may give you a hint as
to how things are going within the
AAA now.
Mr. Hitter knows how to use sugar,
also. The conciliatory gestures he
hu been making lately to the Catho
lics In Oermany do not mean that he
has changed his mind about religion.
The truth behind it all is that the
Saar election Is. going to be hem
about a month hence, and 72 per
cent of the Saar voters are Catholics.
Hitler has fixed everything with
Prance so that the Saar undoubtedly j
will go back to Germany, but he
cannot afford to have the Catholics
pile up & strong opposition vote.
Hitler really used his head for
something besides bombastic words
when he worked out the recent Saar
agreement with France. The best
minds in our state department be
lieve he avoided ft certain European
war next spring.
It was not hard to do because
France was thoroughly frightened.
What happened on the Saar busi
ness was this: Hitler let it be known
indirectly in France some weeks ago
that ho was going to get the Saar
back cither by votes or a putsch.
Franco thereupon moved up troop re
inforcements to the Rhine as a ner
vous counter-threat. Hitler accepted
the dare and passed out word that
preparation were ready to move up
the shock troops of the Austrian Nazi
loclon still on Gorman soil.
This loft France two choices: (At

which would gain her nothing; Bi j

SZEGED, Hungary, Dec. 7. (AP)
After intermittent forays across the
frontier Into. Hungary this morning,
Serbian troops attached to the Yugo
slav army retired, temporarily reliev
ing a. highly dangerous situation.
As the forces remain only a short
distance from the frontier, however,
their presence Is a source of great
anxiety to Hungary.
Homes Raided
The official Hungarian news agency
said the "Chetnlks," an organization
of armed men, made midnight raids
on evacuated Hungarian homes In
Yugoslavia, carrying -off valuables.
A pogrom, agency said, was an
nounced by the Chetnlks to be Im
pending against Hungarians.
The Hungarian news agency declar
ed the Yugoslav authorities In their
wholesale deporatlons did not spare
any one by reason of age, sex or til
nessi
"At the railroad termini on tin

"The Yugoslav police showed a com

The refugees were forced at points of
bayonets to leave their homes, often
in the thick of night, often without
any chance to take anything with
them, and were then marched under
guard to the railroad stations. They
did not even spare a 70-year-old man
with ah insane wife.

GENEVA, Dec. 7. Tibor Eckhardt.
Hungary's delegate to the League or

meeting In the United States had pro

who . was assassinated two month
ago In Marseilles.
He Included this charge in his de

Alexander's death was plotted tn Hun

His statements were In reply to

Intention to thwart land speculators
as well as the desire to give congress
a chanc e to expand the acreage
which may be Included in grazing
districts. . ,
While little had been said about
land speculation, it was learned that
the grazing administration had ex
perienced difficulty with this buga
boo. It developed that private lands In
proposed grazing districts Increased
in value as much as 100 per cent. It
developed also that homesteaders, real
or pretended, began moving Into the
proposed grazing districts.
The Taylor grazing act grants graz
ing prl lieges to tnoae resident of
the dL trlcta set up under it. With
drawal if the public domain precludes
all settlement and thus puts ft stop
to imposition of livestock men of the
localities for which grazing districts
hav been proposed.
Attorneys of the Interior depart
ment have clarified their findings as
to what types of entry may be made
under the withdrawal order. They
say mining locations are not forbid
den, nor are oil and gas locations.
These two types of entry affect, only
sub-surface rights, except in certain
well -de fined cases, and are covered
separately In legislation. No interest
In grazing lands Is obtained by fil
ing such claims, except for domestic
livestock.
The Taylor act limited to 80,000,000
acres the area which could be in
cluded in grazing districts. Proposals
have been made to remove this limi
tation and permit Inclusion of the
entire 173.000,000 remaining unappro
priated. If desired.
