Issues Statement

New Haven. Conn.,. Dec. 5.-(UP)
A statement commenting upon the
decision of a Cleveland judge who
sentenced married couple to three
years of birth-control was issued to-
day by Leon F. Whitney. executive
secretary Of the American, Eugenics
society. headquarters OF which is In
New Haven.
while all the circumstances of
the case Of course are not KNOWN"
Whitney said, Il think the probab bill
ties are that the Cleveland judge
sentenced the couple to something
they wanted very much to know but
didn't know where to get the infor-
nation.
"On the other hand. if they are
unwilling to follow his advice, the
question of his right to interfere In
their lives arises, as | believe Judge
lindsey of Denver has stated" Whit
ney said.

birth Control
COUPLE WONDERING
Fail to Register Interest Nation
EYinCS in Case

Cleveland, O.. Dec. 5.-(UP)-The
young couple on whom Judge Harri-
son w. Ewing imposed birth con-
troll sentence" wondered what It
was all about today as their case
claimed national interest.
The two, Otto and Helen Kourim,
had sought a divorce. he on charge
of cruelty and neglect of duty and
she on ! cross complaint OF cruelty.
The Couple appeared in doubt as
to Judge Ewings meaning:
did he mean We should continue
TO live together and have no more
children, or should we separate from
each other" they asked.
Compliments Judge
With the birth control decision
the topic of conversation here. Rab-
bi Barnett R. Brickner. OF Cleveland,
complimented Judge Ewing for his
recommendation on the subject.
while Bishop Joseph Schrembs Of
the Cleveland Catholic diocese ex-
pressed the belief that the judge had
exceeded his authority.
Judge Ewing told them he would
give neither a divorce. but said their
troubles were caused by having three
children in as many years while the
husband was earning only $24 a
week. He expressed the opinion they
should have no more children for
three years, and he implied that II
they did, and again came into court
seeking a divorce. he might adjudge
them in contempt.
1T was a most vicious decision,"
Bishop Schrembs declared.
Rabbi Brickner said: II think
Judge Ewing is to be commended
very highly for his courage. He
showed courage. not only because
birth control is contrary to state law.
but also because it will bring him a
certain measure of public scorn.
His is a modern, intellectual
view"
Mrs. Abraham Nowak. wife OF
Rabbi Nowak. prominent in Jewish
life here, said: II believe birth con-
troll is an absolute necessity. Every
Judge should be informed on scien-
tific procedure so he can render de-
cisions in cases of this nature"

THE WORLD WHEAT
SUPPLY SLIGHTLY
LARGER THIS YEAR

The world wheat supply still seems
likely to be only about 4 per cent
larger than that of last season, with
this increase promising to be largely
offset by an increase in demand, ac-
cording to information received by the
state-federal crop reporting service
from the foreign service of the bureau
Of agricultural economics.
Increased production Of wheat in
North America and Europe outside of
Russia is offset to some extent by
smaller production in Russia and
India, both of which probably will
need to import wheat before the end
Of the season, according to reports
up to the middle of September. The
increase in stocks of old wheat in ex-
porting countries at the beginning of
the season has practically disappeared,
during the months of July and August
as indicated by the larger shipments
to Europe during these months. The
prospects for rye outside of Russia,
while now equal to last season are not
in themselves discouraging, since last
years rye crop was short and rye
prices were high.
Short corn crops in southern Eu-
rope, it is pointed out, appear likely
to result in increased consumption of
wheat in Italy and the Balkan coun-
tries. Europe as whole may import
as much wheat this season as last,
even though the crop outside of Rus
STA is larger than last year. Recent
low prices of wheat are believed to
have stimulated consumption and will
tend to encourage feeding OF low
grade wheat to livestock and in some
countries discourage seeding for next
year.
Relative to the large Canadian crop
which, on the first official estimate OF
the Canadian government was placed
at 100000 bushels, the actual in
crease may not be as large as indl-
Gated by comparison of this figure
with the 44O,O00,O00 bushels officially
estimated last year, since receipts
from last years crop Indicate that 1t
was under estimated and that it was
probably nearer to 465 100000 bushels
than 100000. The Canadian bu-
reau of statistics has intimated that
this was the case, but does not usually
revise the January estimate until a
year later.
The southern hemisphere crop is
still to be determined, although de-
velopments to date have favored the
probability of crop somewhat larger
than last year. September and Octo-
Der are critical months in the southern
hemisphere from standpoint of tenn
perature.
