“Illicit”
Westbrook Charge
Against Co-Op Now
Roundly Assailed
AUSTIN, Aug. 14. (UP)-—Wert
Texans here today took steps to aid
the State in saving the State’s last
herd of Buffalo, on the Goodnight
Ranch near Canyon. Fred L. Ho-
le ett, West Texas newspaper man,
called a meeting of West Texans
and State officials, to be held at
Goodnight in the Panhandle Sept.
7 to make plans to buy the 11,400
acre Goodnight Ranch.
The Legislature has authorised
the State Game Commission to
condemn and purchase the herd of
226 buffalo. They were to be
slaughtered in the fall before sale
of the ranch to new owners. Has-
kett said West Texans want to buy
the ranch where the late Colonel
Charles Goodnight started and de-
veloped the herd, and present it to
the State as the preserve for the
herd's perpetual stamping grounds.
Gov. Ross Sterling has been-in-
vited to attend the meeting at
Goodnight.. Lieut. Gov. Edgar Witt
told Haskett he would attend if he
could. Gene Howe, editor of the
Amarillo News-Globe, Is working
with Haskett in planning the meet-
ing. Members of the Legislature
and the Game Commission will be
asked to attend.
The pen with which Gov. Ster-
ling signs the buffalo conservation
bill will be given, to the Panhandle
Historical Society at Canyon, Has-
kett said.
If Chicago rumors are true, Ed-
ward (Spike) O’Donnell, gangster
and beer baron, intends to accept
the inritation of an English the-
atrical company to portray the
role of a gangster in pictures, for

tion of having dodged more bul-
lets than any other living gang-
ster.

NEW YORK, (UP) — One of
the most colorful figures in the
history of the United States Army
will go on the retired list Nov. 30
when Major General Hanson E.
Ely takes his last salute as com-
mander of the Second Corps Area
at Governors Island, N. Y.
The salute will end 44 years of
active service for General Ely,
who will reach the retirement age
of 64 on Nov. 23. He will be
succeeded as Second Corps Area
commander by Major General
Dennis E. Nolan, commander of
the Fifth Corps Area, Columbus,

General Ely was awarded the
Croix de Guerre and the decora-
tion of an officer of the Legion of
Honor for his bravery.
Soon after Cantigny, General
Ely was promoted to a brigadier
general and placed in command of
the second brigade of the Second
Division. In this capacity he won
the Distinguished Service Cross
for extraordinary heroism under
fire.
This episode occurred during
the capture of Vierzey, near Sois-
sons. In winning the cross Gen-
eral Ely advanced with his troops
on the town and withstood short
range machine gun fire in order
to personally direct operations.
Following the war General Ely
reverted to his permanent grade
of colonel, but Congress appointed
him a brigadier general on March
5, 1921. On February 23, 1923,
he was made a major general.
During the years after the
World War General Ely served as
commandant of the Command and
General Staf f School at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kans., and later as pres-
ident of the Army War College at
Washington, D. C. He took com-
cand of the Second Corps Area on
December 1, 1927.

The mirror, which Mrs. Jenkins
placed on exhibition at an ama-

Springfield, Vt., brought forth
much admlrMilon. Several tele-
scope authorities declared it was
the best amateur six-inch mirror

WASHINGTON, (UP) — The
World’s zero mile post is to have
a new set of instruments, accord-
ing to a dispatch received recent-
ly by the National Geographic So-
ciety.
The Greenwich Observatory,
near London, England, is probably
the most widely known observa-
tory In the world, due to the fact
that most maps mark Greenwich
as zero longitude.
The center of the observatory
tower on Flamsteed Hill, two and
one-half miles below London, on
the Thames, Is the oficial zero
longitude for virtually all naviga-
tors. For some time, before the
advent of transatlantic cables,
Washington was the zero mark for
American geographers, due to the
fact that no correct signals could
be sent between England and the
United States, but following the
circling of the globe by ' cables
Greenwich became known as the
zero mile post.
An unpretentious borough patch
of London, the first observatory,
establish by Charles II at Green-
wich in 1675, was without instru-
ments, but John Flamsteed, first
Astronomer Royal, enlisted the
aid of friends for his pet project,
and Greenwich, by the time of his
death in 1719, had reached a po-
sition of world renown.
At the present the only new in-
strument contemplated for Green-
wich is a telescope to put the an-
cient observatory on a par with its
more efficient but less widely
known rivals. None of the other
instruments housed at Greenwich
which Include the official clock
and weights and measures of Eng-
land, will be changed at this time.

LONDON, (UP)-—Excavations
beneath the new building of the
Royal Bank of Canada in Loth-
bury, E. C., have resulted in the
discovery of an l,800syear old Jig-
saw puzzle in Roman pavement.
Many pieces of the old puzzle
are missing, but there has emerged
a picture of the substantial house
of some Roman citizen.
Archeologists are now study-
ing the jig-saw puzzle and other
sections of tessellated paving
found in the area.

Military Career.
General Ely’s military career,
beginning when he entered West
Point from his home state, Iowa,
at 19, has reached to the far cor-
ners of the earth and includes
practically all of the military ac-
tivities that the United States has
engaged in since he was graduat-
ed from the military academy m
1891.
Following General Ely’s grad-
uation he was sent to Fort Ke-
ough, Mont., where he was active
in the campaigns of ; the West.
When the Spanish-Airterican War
broke out General Ely was teach-
ing military science and tactics
at the University of Iowa as a first
lieutenant. He drilled volunteers
and then was sent to the Philip-
pines in 1899. Shortly after his
arrival there he was breveted a
captain and soon won a silver star
citation for bravery in action
against the insurgents.
When General Ely returned to
the United States in 1904 he was
graduated from the Infantry and
Cavalry School and the Army Staff
College. Shortly afterward he
served on the staff of General
Frederick Dent Grant. Later he
was sent to Europe to observe
German Army maneuvers.
Mapped Jungle*.
Following the maneuvers Gen-
eral Ely was ordered back to the
Philippine Islands, where he per-
formed the difficult task of map-
ping the little known and wild
jungle country. Later he was
made a major in the Philippine
Scouts.
Returning to the United States,
he was promoted to the rank of
major and sailed for Vera Cruz
in 1915- as batalionc ommander
of the Seventh Infantry. In 1916
he completed the course in the
Army War College and was sent
to El Paso, Texas, as chief of
staff of that district.
When the United States enter-
ed the World War, General Ely
was promoted to a lieutenant col-
onel and was one of the first of-
ficers sent to Europe. After serv-
ing as chief of staff of the First
Division, A. 7E. F., he was given
command of the 28th Infantry,
but only after repeated requests
for duty with the troops.
It was while commanding these
troops that General Ely enacted
the heroic role of leading his reg-
iment in the first and one of the
most dramatic assaults of Ameri-
can troops on the German lines
at Cantigny. The action drew the
eyes of the world to the Yanks
and convinced the Allies that the
^United States soldiers were a
match for the cream of
Kaiser’s army.

DALLAS, Aug. 14. (UP)—Im-
practical, childish, and ridiculous
were some of the words used by
Texas cotton growers and land
owners in concentrating on the pro-
posal of the Federal Farm Board
that one-third of the cotton crop
now in the fields, be destroyed.
The general opinion was that
such a plan eould not be put in
operation as cotton farmers would
not cooperate In destroying some-
thing they had spent money and
labored over In raising.
If there is a surplus, the cotton
growers recommend storing it this
year and then reduce acreage next
year rather than follow the pro-
posal of the Farm Board.
“It is riot practical tp destroy any
property. I consider it a waste ”
Ben Crltz, large landowner, said.
“It would be just like destroying
every fifth barrel of oil. Some day
the cotton will have a value and it
is better to hold It. Dpn’t destroy
something you’ve produced.”
. “Ridiculous,” was the way W. S.
Kirby, another landowner, describ-
ed the Farm Board's plan. “If
these cotton cooperatives would
quit gambling, the price of ootton
would go up.”
Victor Schoffelmayer, agricultur-
al editor of the Dallas News, be-
lieves the plan is uneconomic.
“Why lay a greater burden. on
the farmer by making him go to
the expense of plowing up every
third row? Why not just let it lay
In the .field? The whole thing is
childish.”

MOSCOW, (UP)—The shadow
of the Second Five-Year Plan
creeps ominously upon this hard-
tried land of Soviets. Already
the gigantic machinery of national
propaganda has been set into mo-
tion. This is one of the import-
ant things which came to pass in
this observer’s brief absence.
The writer found a few other
changes, or rather the deepening
of tendencies in existence when he
left. They seem significant in-
dications of how Soviet affairs are
shaping up.
First: The system of piece work
has beepme almost universal. In
use in various industries from the
very beginning of Soviet history,
it has now been extended to every
branch of the national economy,
including the socialized sector of
farming. • ■
Cost Accounting.
Second:. A system of cost ac-
counting is being made obligatory
for every Soviet undertaking.
Every undertaking must run on
its own resources and justify its’
existence by showing a profit.
Of course, it has the support of
the government as in the past,
through credits and technical
guidance.
Stalin’s recent “orders” that
oversized, unwieldy trusts be split
into smaller units, as well as his
demand for individual rather than
collective administratial enter-
prises, are in line with this general
tendency.
Third: Firm measures have
been taken to fix personal respon-
sibility for the quality as well as
quantity of work performed.
Fourth: The so-called free mar-
ket, where goods can be bought
without restriction by anyone who
can pay the inflated prices, has
leen greatly extended. The gov-
ernment has entered into compe-
tition with the private trader and
opened hundreds of shoos.
x Soviet Tempo.
These changes are a startling
confirmation of the statement,
now platitudinous, that the “tem-
* growth and change in the
Union is dizzying in its
Processes which under a
private system of economy require
years are forced through here by
a few sharp edicts.
These changes have
rcteristic in common,
draw upon capitalistic
one char-
They all
methods.
Piece-work is the pet abomination
of those who struggle against
“capitalist exploitation”—it is at-
tacked as a method of driving the
individual worker. No open mind-
ed Communist can deny that piece-
work here has the same function.
It is only the motives that differ.
Personal responsibility for qual-
ity of production, and for effi-
ciency of business and technical
administration, follow the capital-
ist technique. The enlargement of
the free market is a necessary
correlary to piece-work, since
there would be little inducement
to earn more without an oppor-
tunity to spend more.
Put into its tersest form, the
whole tendency may be described
thus: The Soviet State, in its
capacity of large capitalist own-
ing and operating the largest com-
plex of industries and' businesses
in the world—resorts more and
more to the ordinary capitalist
methods. In its capacity it de-
velops the world’s most ambitious
(paternalistic apparatus of social
jinsurance, education and health
protection. But in the role of
business directorate it is increas-
ingly more practical and hard-
boiled.
Soviet Technique.
To the Soviet leaders there is
no real contradiction between
their Communistic aims and the
application of well-tried capital-
istic technique.
“We will take over any capital-
ist methods that we can use in
our own communist economy,” one
of them said. “Do we have any
scruples about adopting capitalist
machinery, conveyer systems,
mechanized farming? No more
do we scruple to adopt your tech-
nique for raising productivity of
labor, or eliminating waste. It is
not capitalist efficiency we object
to, but capitalist chaos. We see
a world of difference between
your workers toiling to pile up
fortunes for a few and our work-
ers toiling to enricll the country
as a whole.”
Certainly this is a decisive dis-
tinction for the minority of the
Soviet population which is “sold”
< •. the idea. How much the dis-
tinction means to the least com-
mon denominator of the whole
business—to the individual work-
er being driven, or cajoled, into
working faster and better—is a
question.
The phenomenally fast growth
of collectivization tn agriculture
continues. By the time spring
sowing wag finished some 18,000,-
000 peasants had joined in 200,-
000 collectives: about 55 per cent
of the whole farming population
and more than two-thirds of the
total planted acreage.
Overshadowing all other devel-
opments is the emergence in tan-
gible form of the Second Five-
Year Plan.
