DALLAS. Dec. 1 — J Walter
Hammond. Tye, told 700 Texas
farmers in convention here today
that 40 cents of every -dollar they
spend is a "tariff tax" going to in-
dustry.
"Some of you are worrying about
the possibility, that the legislature
will impose a two or three percent
sales tax,” he said "That little tax
would be nothing compared to what
you spend now as an indirect tax
because of tariffs’’ Hammond
pointed out that tariffs are thus in-
jurious to both urban and rural
people.
Tariffs on the goods bought by
American consumer increase prices
in some cases as high as SCO per-
cent. said Hammond.
Delegates to the annual member-
ship meeting of the Texas agricul-
tural association cheered enthusias-
tically as Hammond made these re-
marks in his official presidential
message.
Other speakers at the morning
session were J H P Pierce: presi-
dent of the Dallas county agricul-
tural association. Hal Noble Dallas
cits councilman; and William G
Kennedy Muleshoe, a director in
the organization.
American good offices in the Fin-
nish-Russian dispute. Some sources
believed the reply would be delayed |
until Russia had disposed of the |
Finnish situation.
Soviet newspapers published
what they called an appeal by ,
the Finnish communist party to
take over the estate of large
Finnish landowners. They said
the appeal was issued by radio.
The newspapers gave no details
of fighting in the undeclared war
between the soviet union and Fin-
land in which Russia today charged
Finland with having taken the in-
itiative.
A statement circulated by Tasa. -
official news agency, declared that
the supreme command of the red
army ordered the invastion just ^f-
ter three attacks by Finnish bord- .
er forces. ,
As a result of these "new armed
provocations"—as Tass put it—■ red
forces crossed the frontier yester- |
day on the Karelian Isthmus and
at several other points
This war news was made public
following a midnight radio broad-
cast which gave Russian listeners
the first official word of the invas-
ion. Thus there was a 16-hour
lapse between the start of the in- ,
vasion and the first public ac-
knowledgement in Russia. .

AUSTIN, Dec. 1.—(A)—Members of
the Texas Baptist Training Union,
numbering approximately 10.000, to-
day attended more than a dozen
sectional conferences devoted to In-
spirational discussions.
The second day of the annual con-
vention of one of the state's largest
religious .organizations found the
young people developing the state- 1
ment of Dr. George W. Truett that
"the only thing that can take civil-
ization off the rocks and keep it off
is the religion of Jesus Christ."
Dr. Truett, veteran Dallas pastor
and former head of the Baptist
World Alliance, made the assertion
in a sermon yesterday when he
challenged union members to “re-
dedicate yourselves to work in
Christ’s kingdom "'
The conferences, supervised by ap-
pointed leaders from over the state,
were held in University of Texas
lecture halls and churches over the
city.
