Charges of Office
Buying Pour In
To Mayor

NEW YORK. Aug. 28.-F-With
accusations Of office buying by
magistrates and judges increasing
daily, Mayor Walker has appealed
to civic leaders to help him rid the
city Of graft.

pants Of municipal TO supreme

Attorney General Hamilton Ward
in q state investigation In charges
OF office buying by former Mag.
istrate George F. Ewald. said more
than twenty letters of accusation
had been received. Few, he said,
dealt with specific instances OF
graft and corruption.
The mayor, in addressing zoe
representatives Of civic mercantile
interests at city hall, suggested
the organizations form a central
committee to receive complaints OF
graft and corruption. He promised
a full investigation Of all COM
plants and the driving from the
city's service Of all those found
guilty Of grating.
After the meeting several OF
those who attended criticized the
mayors action and accused him of
trying to pass the buck"
Norman Thomas, prominent So
cialist, termed the mayors action
a belated one and declared the
amount OF graft taken by minor
city officials to be only "a small
part Of the loot which the ma
chine Of which he is a part takes
every year from New York"

AYERS REVOLUTION IS
 AIM OF SOVIET GOVT.

NEW YORK.-The New York Times quotes Basil. Delgass, former vice president oH the ,Amtorg Trad ing Company. as saying .that dump ing of wheat and other commodities is fixed policy of the Soviet gov ernment and is; designed to foment revolution in other countries.
 Delgass was recently declared an outlaw by, the Soviet government and his property confiscated because he refused to go to Moscow to explain his resignation from Amtorg.
 Russia presents an extraordinary spectacle" he said. 'The country is being starved and impoverished by the government in pursuing fantas- tic policy of depriving its own people of the things they desperately need in order to dump them abroad at cheap prices as a means of creating Reorganization, discontent and revo- lution in other countries. Also an other aim is to obtain capital for the Soviet industrializationa plan.',

CHARGING BEAR FILMED BY,
 NEW YORK SPORTSMAN

The explorations which were car ried on this summer in the Rainy Pass district by; William. N. Beach. veteran sportsman of New York, brought that oldtimer of the. Alaska hills into very close contact with a big, man-hunting grizzly, the first bear which Mr. :Beachs had ever caught in the.act of stalking, reports the Anchorage Times. A movie cam era was turned on the bear as it stealthily approached the. hunting party and MT. Beach ground out the film until the bear was within about fifty feet of the camera, charging an- grily. At that juncture a. well direct edabullet put the animal on the ground dead.
 When first observed by MT. Beach and his guides the bear was not more than 200 feet distant, and realizing that there was an exceptional oppor-

THE GRAPEFRUIT SUPPLY.

In grapefruit production the United States leads the world by such wide margin that we may almost consider the grapefruit an America fruit. Sta tistics quoted by the bureau of agri- culture economics, United States De- partment of Agriculture, show that the United States (including Porto Rico) produces about 96 per cent of the world supply The. Porto. Rican crop represents about per cent of the worlds supply, with the United States, principally Florida, growing most of tha- resi-. of the crop. Ja,

tunity to obtain movies of the animal, Mir. Beach set his camera up and began to wind the machine. The bear stood straight up and scratched one ear, as if trying to figure out what was going on. At about that time the. camera choked and before it was in operation again the bear had be- gun stalking the hunters, exactly as hunters stalk bear. When the bear had approached sufficiently close to .mperil the party, one of the guides turned the animal with shot in the shoulder, but the old fellow rallied and had started to charge the camera at close range when second shot ended the performance
 MT. Beach, in relating the experi- ence. said he felt safe enough, know- ing that his guides would: not let the bear reach him, but admitted that he was getting just a little bit nervous as the furious animal charged toward him. The pictures will be rare ones if they turn out we'll.
 Mir. Beach. who has; spent a dozen or more. seasons in Alaska, hunting and exploring, did not go into the Rainy Pass country for game, and the only animals shot, other than the bear mentioned, were. needed for food. His purpose in making the trip was to- obtain information. regarding certain passes through the moun- tains. He had intendeds going across into the .Tonsona region, but weather eonditions were not favorable, heavy fains having filled the streams to operflowing.
 The party went up the south fork of the Kuskokwim river, went through new pass into Ptarmigan valley and did considerable exploring in the Robin river section. Quite a few sheep were seen, but they were in scattered bands and very easily disturbed. There was not much evil dence of fur, but encouraging signs were seen in the for moi birds.
 MT. Beach was conducted by the Alaska Guides, Andy Simmons being in iharge of the party. Horses were used for the trek through the hills, but the return. to. Anchorage was made by boat.

maica grows some grapefruit, and South AfTieais getting into the busi- ness on small scale. Florida now produces about six-sevenths of the United States crop, California about one-twelfth, Texas 5 per cent, and Arizona 1 per cent. The indications are that production will increase greatly in the near future, because only about b '3per~ cent of the trees planted have come to bearing age. A considerable increase is expected from Texas, where there are many more young trees than there are trees of bearing age.
