SHARKEY (Copyright, 1031, bj' The Associated Press) PARIS, Aug. 31 )-Joseph Paul- Boncour, foreign affairs chairman of the chamber of deputies, today Issued to the Associated Press a statement In which he proposed that the armed forces of every nation hs placed at the disposal of the League" of Illations to put down wars of aggression. M.

Paul-Boncour. who will be one ot Prance's principal delegates to the Geneva disarmament conference In February, declared France was ready to talce that momentous step. "Are other nations, like us, ready?" he asked. "Are they to put thrtr permanent air, naval and land forces under the control and at the rtispoBltlon ot the League of Nations? By this gesture the problem of parity might be solved." His statement was issued after careful preparation and palnartaklng rxarnination lasting over a period of ten days. Under his.plan, the Leagrue of Xa- tloHB council ivould exercise "an international mortgage" on the forces of the nations the event of a war of aggresaion.

This "mortgage" be exercised' under Article of the covenant, which provides for th severance of all trade or financial relations by mem- of the League with a state ivlileli committed the act of as- gresKion. The arilclc also authorizes the League council to recommend to the Sovernment.s wliat'effective military, naval or air forces they should tribute to put down aggression.

He de- fled anybody to prove that mathematical panty ti workable or pos- slblo and diaracterized as duplicity anv effort to establish it.

He pointed to the fact that the United States and England pronounced superiority in naval strength as proof that equality of armaments can not bo reaJized. In official French circles it was pointed out that, while the government can not, accept responsibility for Paul-Boneour's utterances, the Idea of turning armed forces over to the League is not entirely new, since the late Leon Bourgeois proposed the of a general military staff at the Versailles peace conference. "Vi'hen the peace disarmament conference agrees upon the actual figures of the defense strength of each country," 51, Paul-Boncour said, "our idea is that these forcM should cease to he forces left mtirc- ly to the dlspoBltion of these coun- (Continued on Page 10.

cotton, said the Board was not considering "the purchase of cotton under any circumstances" Several southern senators, among others, had urged that the Board- take this step. Williams supplemented the announcement with a studiously phrased statement that the Board's stabilization operatlonsin wheat and cotton were futile in the face of continued over-production. From cotton, he turned to wheat with the comment that estimated 12 per cent reduction In the winter acreage "was not enough." Would Reduce Crops As a means of further reducing the wheat acreage, Williams suggested that farmer living below the belt of 25 inch rainfall let half of their land lie iVle this fail. He said "summer tillage" was practiced to a considerable, extept now below the 25 inch belt, adding that "summer tillage" was cultivating the soil and keeping it free of weeds without planting it to any crop. Williams said portions of ICansas and the Dakotas, the Texas panhan- die, Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Jfontana were below the rainfall belt he mentioned.

The clarification of a phrase of the cotton situation came aJEter conferences with soutliern Senators last week and followed' immediately- a three hour discussion with members of the cotton advisory committee. Tills group, provided for by the same law which set up the Board its'elf, came here today In response to a call from Williams.

Seek More Bodies In 'Mail Slaying' Case; Powers Won't Talk Well Excavation Continues Today At Scene Five Corpses Found; Killer Issues Contradictory Statement By L. W. SHERIDAN CLARKSBURG.

W. Aug. 31 that authorities are of the firm belief that additional bodies will be found on the Quiet Dell property of Harry F. Powers, 42-year old salesman, where the bodies of two women and three children already have been located, was given basis this evening when convict labor was recalled to resume digging. Officers, questioned Powers, alias Cornelius P.

Pierson, in coruiectlon. with the deaths of Mrs, Agatha Elcher and her three children, of Park Ridge, 111., and Mrs. Dorothea Lemke, Worcester, a short time after counsel for the man talked to Pbwers in the county Jail. The bodies of the women and chll- dren were found Friday late Saturday burled near the Quiet Dell "garage" Powers built. Powers was questioned briefly, the offlcei's said, and made a short, contradictory statement concerning Mrs.

Lemke. They quoted h'm as saying: "I'went to Worcester, and brought Mrs. away from that city with me. and brought her dowi here. No.

I will want to change that. I did not bring her to West Virginia. I don't care to tell w'nere I took her from Massachusetts." He spoke no more regarding the case, the officers said. Downtown Clarksburg was thrown in a state of excitement late today when a report was-circulated that a sixth body had been found in a well at Quiet Dell. Deputy Sheriff Simeon Bond said he wa-s standing by the well when the last shovelfpiof dirt out and that no.

body was found. Driller To Spot Sheriff-William Grimm said drilling apparatus would be taken to Quiet Dell tomorrow for'further digging In abandoned well there. Officers said they were convinced they had not reached the bottom of the well when It was cleaned out today. It was drained to a depth of 12 feet. The digging in the vicinity of the "garage" resulted from disclosure that Powers had made contacts with many women througji matrimonial agencies.

Mrs. Elcher and Mrs. Lemke were among those with whom he corresponded. Detectives were studying a roll "of film found in a camera, one of many articles located in Powers' garage. The film was developed today and six picture's, disclosed Powers with Mrs.

Lempke. Apparently the snapshots were taken in the vicinity of Mrs. Lempke's. home at One picture showed a river in the background, with Powers stamping near a Jfence with back to the water. He -was wearing a light suit, apparently the one he had on when arrested.

Another- snapshot showed with the river and mountains In the background. Police hinted tonight that legal steps would be taken to halt Powers checks on his accounts In local banks.

The rat-tat-tat of machine guns WSLB simulated by the child at the with a pencil he pressed against the spokes of one of the revolving wheels.
