The House Military Affairs Com mittee is considering adding more than 2.000 officers to the commis sioned personnel of the Army to offset the withdrawal of officers from Regu lar Army units to direct the 300,000 civilians in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Representive Hill of Alabama, i chairman of the House committee, 1 said yesterday he strongly favored building up the Army commissioned personnel, now numbering 12.060, to around 14.600. Because of the assign ment of officers to the C. C. C. camps, 1 he said, the Army had been unable to spare officers to command Reserve Officers Training Corps units for which funds are available. Legislation also will be offered in both branches of Congress to increase the pay of junior commissioned offi cers in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Senator Walsh of Massa chusetts. chairman of the Senate | Naval Affairs Committee, said he I would introduce a bill calling for a j study and review of the whole subject ! of pay, not only of officers but of en- j listed men. No consideration had been ! given to pay in the armed services, he j said, since 1922, and he thought the time had come when Congress should I look into it. I -• Ship (Continued From First Page.)

Crop of Legislation Calls for • Outlays Totaling Over $1,000,000,000. By the Associated Press. The crop of farm legislation sprout ing in Congress this session calls for Federal outlays totaling well over $1,000,000,000. Prospective expenditures for agri culture have mounted steadily since President Roosevelt, in his budget message early this year, proposed about a billion dollars for this pur pose. Since then, additional sums have been suggested for crop insurance, as sistance to tenants, the "ever-normal granary,” drought relief and pre vention in the Great Plains and other measures. The biggest item recommended by the Agriculture Department for 1937 is $500,000,000 to continue benefit payments under the soil-conservation act. This is $60,000,000 more than the President suggested in his budget mes sage. Administration leaders have esti mated $125,000,000 would be needed for the first year of tenant aid and $100,000,000 to set up all-rislc crop insurance for wheat. Legislation to establish the “ever normal granary” advocated by Sec retary Wallace has not yet been in troduced, but officials privately esti mated it would require a minimum of $100,000,000. Under this proposal the Government would lend on stored sup plies of corn, cotton and other major farm products. The cost of measurer proposed es pecially for the Great Plains, area of drought and dust storms, Is more indefinite. Congress already has approved a ♦50,000,000 emergency fund for seed and feed loans to farmers and $74, 000,000 for rural rehabilitation work of the Resettlement Administration. Other appropriations for the Agri culture Department, the Farm Credit Administration, the Resettlement Ad ministration, the Commodity Credit Administration, the Rural Electrifica tion Administration and affiliated agri cultural agencies are involved in the total prospective outlay. Federal outlays for agriculture have averaged near the billion-dollar mark for the past four years. Expenditures by the Agricultural Department alone in the last four fiscal years were: 1936, $891,000,000; 1935, $1,219,000,000; 1934, $629,000,000, and 1933, $251,00,000. Good Gang to Disband. ‘'Ferguson’s Gang,” the mysterious body of philanthropists that has been active in London for five years, is to be disbanded. In that time it has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest of Natural Beauty and other projects beneficial to the public.
