An agricultural benefit to the country

by MIR. Ford, the report asserted, will in
clude a large scale production of fertil-
izers produced under the most favorable
manufacturing conditions, maintained
abreast of progress in an art that is de
veloping rapidly, and which will reduce

Favor 100 Years Lease.
The senators also declared their will
ingness to agree with Mr.. Ford's request
that the lease on the power projects be
for 100 years rather than for 30 years as
prescribed by the federal water power
act. They asserted that the operations
proposed by Mr.. Ford are on a scale
without a parallel and call for an expen-
diture by him of $50,000,000
In deciding for ourselves that rather
than have the Ford offer rejected we will
agree to the 100-year lease period, we
have come TO this conclusion mainly be-
cause we believe that if the Ford offer is
rejected the government and the public
will lose more in 30 years of government
ownership and operation at Muscle
Shoals than they viii gain by refusing
to consent to the 100-year lease period in
Henry Ford's offer"

MAY USE AUTOMATIC
SPEED REGULATOR
Rome Wants to Stop Speeding - Harder
You Step on 1t. Slower
Car Runs

ROME. Aug. 4.-Confronted with the
difficulty of controlling speeding auto
mobiles within the city limits. Rome is
considering a device which will prevent
the car to which it is attached from ira
yelling over 10 miles an hour. The more
the driver steps on it, the slower the
car will run.
This automatic speed regulator is the
invention of Ernesto Fragano and Ettore
Villa. An indicator is set at the number
of miles an hour desired as the maximum
speed. An application of centrifugal
force interrupts the working of the motors
if the driver attempts to go beyond the
limit
In Rome the narrow streets in the
older quarters of the city the numerous
hills. and the inequalities in the pave
ments of many streets make fast driving
particularly dangerous. Drivers are
prone to disregard existing speed regu-
larities, so the city authorities are Civ
ing thought to making obligatory the use
of this automatic speed regulator.
Western leaguers are still waiting for
the St Joseph team to crack, but the
Saints refuse even to be slightly bent.

WILL RETURN PROPERTY IF
 ALIEN CHURCH
Daugherty Declares It to Be Sacriligious to Hold
 Property Enemy Interest

WASHINGTUN, D. C., Sept 8.-(By the Associated Press) Holding that in the financial analysis, title to church property in vested with God, and that it would be sacriligous to hold this an enemy interest, Attorney General Daugherty, in a formal opinion has acquiesced in the return by Alien Pro- perty Custodian Thomas w. Miller. of property seized by former alien pro perty custodian from the Reformed Church of Hungary in America.
 ''Who holds the beneficial interest in this trust?" the attorney general asked. If it is held the deity, then surely it would be sacriligous to hold there is an enemy interest"
 The question before the department, he said, was whether the church could have its property returned to it. Could the church, he asked, be con- sidered an enemy under the trading with the enemy act, and di the fact that some of the contributors to the church are enemies "taint this church property" to the extent that there could De no return or the property! '!
 The property, amounting to approxi- mately $20,OO0 in mortgages and certi- ficates of indebtedness to the mother church in Hungary, secured by church property here, was seized at the out break of the war from the Hungarian general credit bank at Cleveland, act ing as agent of the church in all fi- nancial matters. The decision in this case will serve as precedent in other church property seizures.
 Within the last few months. when officials of the church moved for a returnof the seized property, it was met sympathetically by the present alien property custodian, but an opin- ion from the attorney general was necessary before it could be returned.

 [ ] ESTABLISHMENT
 IF SAINT AR|UM
Arizona Masons Working on Project to Build White
 Plague Institution

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. S.--The re gently launched project of the Masons of Western Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to establish at some suitable place sanitorium for the care of their brother Masons who are suffer- ing from tuberculosis, gives every in dication of success, it was announced here today at Masonic headquarters. Morris Goldwater of Prescott, is chair man of the Arizona committee work ing on tho proposition with Dr. Nel- son c. Bledsoe, of Bisbee, and Fred O. Goodell of Tucson, as aides.
 It is proposed by the Masons of the three states to establish the sanatori- um as national institution, to be supported by the combined Masonis lodges all over the United States. As yet no action has been taken in re- gard to choosing a site.
 According to the figures made pub lie here today there are in the United States 42,300 Masons who are victims of the dread white plague. Of these, it is estimated, an average of 4700 die every year. And there is no place where any of these Masons can go for care and treatment at the hands of their organization, it is pointed out.
 Until now, it is stated. the brunt of taking care of Masons suffering from tuberculosis has fallen upon the lodges in Western Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, for the reason that the sufferers, in search of health, migrate to those states, and there, it often happens, become charges upon their brother Masons in the towns to which they have come. Now. it is explained it is planned. to share the burden of caring for these unfortunate Masons by establishing the national sanatori- um and splitting up the expense of it's operation among the 2,5O0,O00 Ma sons in the United States.

 JACKSON, Cal. Sept. S.-Rescue crews working to reach the 47 men entombed in the Argonaut mine here, emerged from the neighboring Ken nedy shaft tonight after six hours of gruelling toll in knee-deep muck and slime to report only 15 feet of progress toward the Argonaut on the $500 foot level and 20 feet on the 3,900 foot level This leaves rescue workers on the former level approximately 300 feet from the entombed men and about 245 feet distant on the 3,900 foot level.
 Each crew comes out dripping wet and covered from head to foot with slimy mud. Four crews are working 24 hours a day in six hour shifts. Be cause of the intense heat, foul air and as working conditions are so ex- hausting, each man works only 20 min utes at stretch and rests 40. min utes.
 Both the Argonaut and Kennedy companies assert they have an abun- dance of men for the rescue work.
