NEED ONE THOUSAND
Names TO INITIATE
Modification Leader Says More
Signatures Are Needed for
Petition to Congress

A thousand signatures are neces-
sary to complete a petition for the
initiation of a measure to memorabilia
congress to modify the prohibition
avs, J. A. Danielson, Minot. rep
,esenting the supporters of the pro-
psal said today.
Under the state law. 10000 sigma
ures are necessary and must be filed
With the secretary Of state by 5 p. m.
Wednesday.
Danielson planned to broadcast a
radio address from Bismarck tonight
to appeal for additional signatures
and for speeding up petitions now
being circulated.
A previous petition, to initiate a
measure for repeal Of the states
prohibition laws, was rejected by the
secretary of state On the ground that
it was defective. More than the
10000 names required for this pro-
posal were obtained, but many lacked
affidavits stating that gathering of
the signatures was witnessed.
MandamuS proceedings are now
pending in the supreme court in an
effort to compel Secretary of State
Robert Byrne to accept the petition.
It is the contention of the supporters
of the petition that affidavits are not
necessary because they constitute an
obstruction of the initiative law. The
constitutionality Of the statute requir-
ing affidavits Is being challenged in
the mandamus proceedings. A hear
ing will be held by the supreme court
at the opening Of the September
term.

MINNESOTA LAKES
HOLDING UP WELL
No Unusual Loss of Fish Report
ed Despite Drouth, Off,
ciaI Declares

st. Paul, Aug. 4~.-(P)-MinnssOta'S
10000 lakes are holding up well under
the continued heat and no unusual
loss of fish despite drouth conditions
has been reported, Thaddeus Surber,
superintendent of fish propagation
under the Minnesota game and fish
department said today.
Despite the heat, Minnesota has
not experienced any continued
drouth," Mr.. Surber said. Where
eastern states have suffered drouth
Of from two to six months, lowering
the lakes and killing fish, showers
have fallen in many sections of this
state, preserving the condition of our
lakes"
Mr.. Surber pointed out that if the
present heat continued without rain,
lakes might be hit in the southern
part of Minnesota. Lakes in that Sec
ton at present. he satd, are no lower
than in other Seasons.
During the latter part OF June a
dry spell caused death of a number
Of fish in some lakes of the state, but
showers alleviated this condition.
E. v. Willard, state commissioner OF
drainage and waters. said the only
lakes to suffer from drOuth are those
in southwestern and central western
Minnesota. Rain Is needed to keep up
the lakes in those sections, he said,
as water is evaporating at a fast rate.

Washington. Aug. 4.-(P-Fish,
who spend the long days of heat and
drought in cool = looking streams
and lakes, r dying by the thou
sands.
Low water levels and rising tenn
peratures have decimated game fish
in numbers approaching a national
disaster and the United States bu-
reau Of fisheries fears the brood it is
raising at many hatcheries will be
doomed to extinction unless relief
occurs soon.
Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commits
sion of the bureau, said the situa-

Virginia that transfer of the fish to
a cooler spot is planned in order to
save some of them.
The total damage is uncountable,
he said, but it will show up for years
to come in depleted sport and barren
streams all over the country. Trout
have been the worst sufferers.

Before realizing the ~helplessness Of
the peasants provincial troops openAd

bullets when they saw they were
slaughtering defenseless persons in

Advancing then without opposition,
the reds easily dispersed the pro-

robbery and arson
Meanwhile the evacuation of Kul-
ing Kiangsi province summer resort,
was speeded up as the communist
menace persisted there.
United States naval authorizes
also announced their Yangtse river
patrol would be improved to cope
with the situation in the communist
ridden valley.
Changsha was shelled by a Chi
nese gunboat last night, dispatches
said. Communist machine gun crews
on the northern outskirts of the city
returned the fire until the gunboat
was forced to turn back.
Changsha, although most OF the
reds were believed withdrawn. still
was in q %precarious position. Com
munists remaining in the city were
still armed.
The Slang river, on which Chang
sha is situated. was reported falling
again. Foreign naval authorities in

they believed communists would pre-
vent gunboats from approaching the
city by sinking boats loaded with
stones in the channel.

a spectacular fire. !.
It's frame track and seating stands
burned like finder when flames, ap-

out near the main entrance.
With seats for $4,000 spectators, and
a landmark of uptown New York since

the velodrome was one of the largest

The fire damage was estimated UNI

said the loss from disruption of sport
schedules would multiply the figure.
