CHICAGO, July 15.-The Cook
county grand jury. described by a
criminal court justice as having the
eyes of a nation focused upon 1t,
took steps today to bring about an
official airing of rumors which have
involved Chicago's newspapers since
the discovery that murdered re-
porter had been a racketeer.
Informed by Chief Justice Denis
J. Nornoyle of criminal court that
they could call witnesses whether
the states attorney approved or not,
the grand jurors invited Harry T.
Brundidge, reporter for the st.
Louis Star, to testify before them,
Brundidge was sent here by his
paper after Alfred (Jake) Lingle.
sos a week Tribune reporter, was
murdered June and it was re-
vealed Lingle'S yearly income as a
racketeer and go-between for Off
Gals and gangsters, had been
100000.
Others in Graft
Articles by Brundidge charged
that other Chicago newspapermen
we're as much racketeers as Lingle
and that there existed here alliances
between politics, the newspapers and
gangland.
The Lingle murder has. as Justice
Normoyle pointed out, focused the
eyes of the nation upon Chicagos
gangland activities"
Drawn by Brundidge's articles in
to the general furore and maze Of
rumors which had caused a general
police "shakeup" and involved the
entire city, newspapers united in de-
manding that Brundidge be called
here tell what he knew"
Brundidge's offer to do this was
blocked when States Attorney John
A. Swanson insisted that he ques-
ton the reporter before Brundidge
testified. Brundidge's paper would
not allow him to submit to this ques-
tioning and the matter was dropped.
Never Mind Swanson
II do not believe that you are in
terested in publishers quarrels, If
they exist" Justice Normoyle told
the jurors Monday. But so much
has appeared in the press about
this case that deem it my duty to
suggest that you call before you such
witnesses as you want to hear. ir-
respective OF the fact whether they
may or may not be advised by the
states attorneys Office before they
come to you"
Brundidge sent word from Ha-
vana. Cuba, Monday night that he
will testify and it appeared certain
today that he will be heard under
his own terms.
The Tribune today said Brun-
didges testimony also would con-
Germ another paper, the Evening
American. 1t said investigators had
learned that Harry Read, American
city editor, was the man spoken OF
by Brundidge as being arrested III

HOOVER FINDS
HANDS tied IN
WHEAT CRISIS
President Feels He Can Do
Nothing but Follow
Farm Policies.
SLUMP is DISCUSSED
Results of Legge'S Visit to
West May Be Seen in
Primaries.

| BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July Is. - The
crisis of declining wheat prices was
discussed at length by President
Hoover with his cabinet today after
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde had
reported on the situation disclosed
during his western tour.
Various methods of coping with
the problem were debated, with
Hyde known to be in opposition to
the plan of Senator Capper (Rep.,
KanO to have the federal farm
board purchase millions of bushels
of wheat to peg the price before it
dips further.
There was no indication the ad-
ministration had any intention Of
adopting the Capper idea.
Sliding wheat prices, carrying in
creased political Importance the
further down they go, are being
watched with anxiety by the Presi-
dent and senators and congress-
men up for reelection.
Hands Apparently Tied
The President, according to his
closest farm adviser, feels there is
nothing he can do except to rely
upon the federal farm board policies
established.
He does not intend to take a
hand in the situation personally at
this time, nothing being planned be-
yond a conference with Chairman
Alexander Legge of the board when
he returns here next Monday.
Administration spokesman feel thu
market drop is the natural con-
sequence of overproduction, particu-
larly in the southwestern wheat
growing area.
They frown upon the suggestion
of Senator Capper that the board
buy 100000 more bushels to
augment the 100000 bushels pur-
chased before the recent decline.
Project Is Inadvisable
Such a step would cost in the
neighborhood of 5000 900, they say,
adding the question, What would
we do with 100000 bushels OF
wheat if We bought it?"
Insufficient storage facilities to
withhold such an enormous quantity
of grain from the market, as we'll
as the knowledge that it would have
to be destroyed to benefit the mar
ket, make such an undertaking in
advisable, they contend.
The farm board chairman is now
in the farm belt. preaching curtail-
ment of acreage as the solution OF
the problem. However, he has met
with caustic criticism from some
quarters, particularly from Governor
Clyde Reed of Kansas.
Primaries May Tell Tale
The political effects of Legge'S
visit may be read shortly in the
Kansas primaries Aug. 3, when
Reed runs for denomination and
Senator Henry Allen, friend OF the
President and sponsor for his pol
icies, seeks the Republican Sena-
torial nomination.
Allen is opposed by several other
candidates. Capper is running for
denomination without opposition,
but he sides with Reed.
The administration group here
feels that the outspoken Legge may
not have been polite in some OF his
statements, but it is standing four
square behind him as it did when
he recently was criticised by grain
dealers, headed by Julius Barnes,
intimate of Mr.. Hoover.

Lad Lies in WreCkage of

By United Press
BENNINGTON, VT, July 15.-
Frank Goldsborough, 19-year-old
holder of the junior transcontin-
entail flight record, was brought to
Putnam hospital here today, almost
a full twenty-four hours after he
had suffered a fractured skull in
an airplane crash.
He had lain pinned beneath the
wreckage of his plane through a
cold night after Donald Mockler
New York publicity agent, who had
been thrown from the plane when
it struck, trudged through de Sc
woods and underbrush to get aid
here.
The accident occurred near an
abandoned lumber camp, eight
miles from Woodford, the nearest
community, while Goldsborough and
Mockier were en- route from Cleve-
land, o. to Keene, N. H., where
Mockler was engaged to lecture
Monday night. Unable to judge his
altitude p 'operly because of fog,
the young pilot brought his ship too
low. Upon striking the tree, one
wing and part of the tail was
severed from the plane. The re-
mainder fell to earth.
Goes for Help
Mockler tried in vain to extri-
cate Goldsborough from the wreck
age. Finally he determined he
would have to get assistance. Mock

Five hours after setting out from

mustered.
Asked to cite any landmarks by
