EXPECT NEW MOVE
 IN WHEAT PUZZLE
Legge Expected to Confer With
 Hoover Soon

Washington, July 22 (UP)-Ntw in the administrators handling of it's perpleXing wheat problem were looked for here yes terday with the return of Alexander Legge, chairman of the federal farm board.
 Legge, who has been touring the farm belt for several weeks, is eN- pected to present a report to Presl- dent Hoover soon after his arrival r. is also believed a statement O. future plans. based on his observA- ticns will be forthcoming from the the chairman soon.
 On his tour, which extended as far west as the Dakotas and Minnesota, Legge has been propounding his theory of limited production Of wkeat in the country's great grain centers. He has held consistently that a decreased output is necessary to bolster the price of wheat, now the lowest in nearly 20 yeas,
 During Legge's absence, Senators Capper and Allen, republicans, Kan sas. have led movement to have the government buy an additional loo. .0OO, ,0O0 bushels of wheat to with hold from the market fin an effort ,o bolster the price. The Kansas sena- tors are expected 10 confer with Legge upon this matter today. They have indicated they will press f5r favorable action upon the proposal, despite the fact it has been frowned upon by the administration.
 So far as is known here, the farm board does not plan to take any further action at this time, at least under the stabilization authority of the federal farm act, The govern ment already holds 69,00Q,00 009 bushels of wheat, purchased last spring by the grain stabilization cor poration at prices considerably high CT than those prevalent now.
 There is a possibility the wide spread drouth in the farm belt, which if sontinued would destroy considerable grain, may act 10 raise tht price by reducing the surplus.

MACDONALD HAS EMPLOYMENT PLAN
Labor Governments Prime Min
 iSter to Consider Problem

London. July 22 PHThe contin- ued increase of unemployment in Great Britain is viewed with so much apprehension with respect to the approaching winter that Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald has taken personal charge of a new drive to offset the evil.
 Not since 1922 has the present to- tai of 1,S00,000 workless, embittered persons been surpassed. Then it was 100000 but that was at a time when England was in the business slump which followed upon the post war boom. The figure of 1922 also included the aftermath of several la bor disputes, the most serious or which was the 1921 coal strike.
 There is some indication that the labor government is still dallying with the proposal to pension off the old workers, although Philip Snow den has publicly banged and barred the treasury door on any further eX- penditures of this sort.
 Takes Personal Charge
 The prime minister, who is now free of his preoccupations with the London naval conference. has de- cided to apply all his energies to the unemployment problem. relieving Lord Privy. Seal J. H. Thomas of the thankless task he had held the past year.
 Mir. Macdonald has begun as chairman of q cabinet committee which includes all ministers in charge of departments concerned in any way with investigations and for mutation of remedial measures with respect to unein ployment.
 This means in effect the concen- traitor of all the governments re- sources. A still further step taken is the temporary withdrawal from their ordinary duties Of a group of distinguished civil service employes to help the government in it's effort. This group constituted as a com mittee of officials has Sir John An derson. permanent secretary of the home office, as chairman. The cabi-

As factors contributing to the im- provement, Sloan enumerated the following:
 1-Improved styling and design ing of fine cotton fabrics by mills and concerters generally.
 2-The return to favor of old fabrics such as calico and the new adaptations of cotton fabrics in the field of fashion such as drills and Ndenims for beach costumes.
 3-The growing use of fast color designs.
 4-The attractive facilities and services of commercial laundries for economically handling cotton dresses.
 Sloan said survey recently con- ducted by the Cotton-T Textile irsti- ute indicated that there might bo a greater volume of business in cot. ton fabrics for mems wear than for many years. "The distribution of mems wash summer suits has been considerably extended beyond t0s regular lines and most promising experiments in the construction of new cloths are being developeG fir 1931," he declared
