U. S. Will Seek Dissolution Of Geneva Gathering; Propose New Commission
PARIS, Nov. 30—(UP)—A scheme to dissolve the present disarmament conference, replace it with a permanent arms commission, and afford the nations of the world a “breathing spell’’ in which the existing armament problems may be given rational consideration, will be put forward by the United States
-----Tthis week.
Norman H. Lfcvis, American banker and diplomat ^ho has been prominently mentioned as the next secretary of state, will advance the Uf * T# 1 i flan when representatives of five I 1*0V 111" MllKS powers gather Saturday at Geneva
^ ^ J Mil. v *111*0 for disarmament discussions.
The project is of his own creation and has been approved both by President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson. One of its aims, it is understood, is to get control of world roblems back into the hands of the great powers.
He feels, furthermore, that a “breathing spell” will give worldwide public opinion a chance to overcome its present cynical attitude toward the disarmament conference.
If the disarmament question is given a rest, Davis contends, such bitter controversial political questions as the German demand for arms equality, France's security claims, and the general bitterness over war debt payments, may be settled, permitting disarmament to be tackled with a greater chance of success.
The conversations at Geneva Saturday, in which Prime Minister Kamsay MacDonald and Premier Edouard Herriot will participate, thus will be entirely different from those originally proposed by MacDonald. The British prime minister suggested several months ago that the five-power conference be held in London to settle Germany's equality claims and to enable the Berlin government to return to the general conference.
The plan, it is believed, already has been broached to the five powers and has been approved provisionally by Great Britain and Italy. It is believed to be acceptable to both France and Germany.

Michigan Is Choice of Big Ten Coaches
Middle Western Mentors Favor Wolverines for Rose Bowl Game
German Cabinet Will Be Chosen
Monarchist Is Expected To Be Selected for Chancellor Post
BERLIN, Nov. 30— <r.E)—Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, whose personality embodies all the traditions of militaristic and monarchistic Germany, probably will become the nation’s chancellor tomorrow.
The tall, jovial general who has been manipulating the strings behind the German political stage for years and who has repeatedly shunned the blasts of publicity, will be designated by President Paul von Hindenburg, to form a new cabinet j regardless of what Adolf Hitler or | other party leaders think, well-in-1 formed quarters assured the United Press.
President von Hindenburg, exasperated by more than two weeks of muddled negotiations in an effort to organize a new government, apparently has decided to bring vdn Schleicher into the open as nominal, as well as actual, head of the cabinet.
Political observers are so certain than von Schleicher will be named chancellor that they were engaged, today, in speculating on the possible cabinet line-up.
It was considered possible that von Schleicher would eliminate Baron Wilhelm von Gayl, minister of the Interior in Col. Franz von Papen's cabinet. At the same time, observers said, he probably would substitute new men for Minister of Agriculture Magnus von Braun and Minister of Labor Hugo Schaeffer.
Formal Announcement Is Due Saturday After Faculty Meeting

Michigan Willing
Fielding H. Yost. Michigan’s athletic director, last night made it known that the Ann Arbor institution would accept the invitation tendered them to play Southern California in the Rose bowl. Only formal approval fiy the Big Ten committee is necessary to enable the Wolverines, champions of the Western conference, and unbeaten and untied this year, to come to Pasadena Jan. 2.
It was feared for a time that the opposition of Northwestern university would keep Michigan trom securing the approval of the conference officials, but advices last night said that K. L Wil-son, athletic director at Northwestern, wa3 quoted as being in favor Of the Wolverines participation. Last year Michigan opposed any efforts to induce the Wildcats to play in the Tournament of Roses game.
Another Big Ten official, George Huff of Illinois, was also reported to be in favor of a middle western school playing the Trojans.
First in 11 Years
If Michigan secures the approval of the conference officials Saturday, it will be the first Big Ten team to play in the historic Rose bowl game in 11 years, Ohio State being the last. Public sentiment favors the Wolverines, a team coached by Harry Kipke. and on which Harry Newman, all-American quarterback, plays.
Willis O. Hunter, S.C. director of athletics, said last night that official invitation to Michigan is being held in abeyance until the Big Ten board meeting in Chicago Saturday.

DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 30— <lT.E>— A 200-acre garden in the reclaimed Trinity river bottom in the heart of Dallas—less than a mile from the skyscraper district—is supplying food to families of hundreds of unemployed men in a unique social experiment.
There are 65 half-acre family plots and a 167-acre communal garden which produced 26 varieties of vegetables during the growing season, with unemployed men doing the cultivation and receiving payment in food orders worth 11.20 per day. Further, 70,000 cans of assorted vegetables—a surplus over daily needs— were canned by unemployed and are being dispensed through the city commissary to unemployed given work on city pro> jects.
The entire project has cost in cash less than $700. Its extent will be doubled next spring. Two hundred aditional acres of virgin soil were loaned to the city welfare department today and unemployed men—paid in food—began making it ready for planting. They found weeds higher than their heads, stumps to be blasted out and scrubby trees to be removed.
W’here once the Trinity river spread to a mile’s width at flood stage there will be in the spring, 200 acres reminiscent of the sunny Rio Grande valley—except that against the blue sky will be a background of skyscrapers, power plants, smokestacks, round houses and other signs of industrial and metropolitan lif«w
