BOARD OBJECTS
TO Smith And
STRATON CLASH
Trustees May Refuse Use
of Church for Debate
on Politics.
~ United Press

Pg United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Rev
John Roach Straton's board of
trustees may object to his proposed
debate in Calvary Baptist Church
with Governor Alfred E. Smith,
Democratic candidate for President.
The subject will be discussed at
a meeting Of the trustees, because
Dr.. Straton has encountered opposi-
ton within his own flock on pre-
vious occasions when unusual serv-
ices brought wide publicity to the
church. Heretofore he always has
been victorious.
II feel certain that the trustees
will not permit the church to be
used for this purpose" said o. M.
Johnson, one of the trustees. Other
members Of the board declined to
talk about the meeting.
Other Debates There
The pastor himself expressed a
preference for Madison Square
Garden as the scene of the debate In
which the Governor wants to answer
DR.. Straton's charges against his
legislative record.
Smith, however, insisted that he
be permitted to,reply from the same
pulpit from which he was so severe
ly criticised and DR., Straton has
consented.
Debates are not uncommon at
Calvary. In 1922 DR.. Straton de-
bated with William A. Brady on the
relative morality of the church and
stage. In 1927 DR.. Straton debated
evolution with prof. K. T. Mather
of Harvard.
DR.. Straton is vacationing al his
summer home on Greenwood Lake,
where he is receiving a flood OF
kilograms and letters relative to the
projeced debate. kilograms have tn
be delivered to his cottage by mess
enger from the postofice and there
is an extra charge of Is cents for
the delivery. DR.. Straton has to
pay that charge.
Prepay Charges He Asks
Il wish my friends" said the
pastor, that my well wishers would
just send their communications pre-
paid. The family purse was never
more stretched than it is now"
One of the letters brought resig-
nation from the congregation from
William j. Williams. He described
the pastors attack on Governor
Smith as OUTRAGEOUS"

wheat PRICE
PROVES WORRY
TO POLITICIANS
Amount Farmer Gets for
His Crop May Swing
Doubtful States.
BY DEXTER M. KEEZER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE
price of wheat, ranging. around $1.10
a bushel as Oklahoma, Kansas and
Nebraska pour their bumper crops
into the market has politicians and
economists here guessing.
The politicians frankly are con-
cerned with what this wheat price,
approximately Is cents bushel less
than the price a year ago, is going
to do to the already uncertain po-
itical alignments in the wheat belt.
And the economists are trying to
figure out some explanation for
what they say all records indicate
is an unreasonably low wheat price.
According to the United States
Agriculture Department wheat fore
cast for Aug. /, the total crop this
year is expected to be 891 100000
bushels, an increase of only 20,000,-
900 bushels over last year.
World Crop Normal
And present estimates Of the
world crop, the decisive factor in
determining United States wheat
prices, is reported to be about the
same as last year.
This, according to economists here,
makes the 25-cent drop in prices
something of a mystery.
Among reasons advanced for it
pre-:
1. The wheat markets are suffer-
ing from the effects of an excess of
speculation last spring.
q. The farmers are unloading their
large crops on the market faster
than they can be absorbed without
breaking pieces.
8. Wheat buyers are disturbed by
reports that Canada, with promises
C. a bumper crop, will have a sur
plus of 5O0,000,000 bushels to export.
Wonder About Dakotas
According to Government econ
onists, size of Canadian exports is
only one of many factors in de-
ternining the world supply and
world price.
Present indications are that even
Il Canada does have a very large
export surplus, the total world sup
ply will not be far different from
last year.
For the politicians the wheat mar
ket situation is source of uneasi-
ness. If the present low prices con-
tinue through the harvest in the
Dakotas and other Northwestern
~ States, already politically unstable,
an important bearing on politics is
foreSeen.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Aug. IL
Movies breed inferiority in the con-
slant movie fan, according to Mrs.
Gladys H. Grove, an authority on
child training. The Cinderella motif
is responsible, she told the Public
Welfare Institute here.
Virtually all moving pictures are
based on the Cinderella motif in
that the under dog, the young per-
son with few advantages, always
comes up at the end of the picture
not with intangible advantages,
but with material wealth." she said.
1--WE are fostering an idea Of lux
ury and material possessions and
the more pronounced the motif be-
comes, the larger the number of
persons who are made to feel in
ferior. For instance, in the movies
every hero is strong, brave and
handsome and every woman equally
beautiful and charming"
