WHALEN LATE FOR
 SOVIET HEARING
Ez-Police Head Subpoenaed-- TeStiheS About Reds

New York, July IS CPl-Shor.ly after subpoena had been issued for him, former Police Commissioner Grover 4. Whalen appeared today Sas a witness before the house con- mittee Investigating communist &C., tivities in the United States.
 He apologized to the committee for his late arrival, saying he had been misinformed as to when he was to appear.
 In less than 15 minutes of testi- mony before the committee recessed fol luncheon. Whalen said that when he was police commissioner a survey of the communist situation here was begun by the police at the request ot the labor department in Washing ton.
 2,000 Sent Documents
 More than 2,000 questionnaires were sent to suspected communists, 500 of those receiving the question: naires falling to answer them.
 Whalen then began a discussion Of the criminal records of strike leaders who participated in con- munist walkouts in New York dur ing the past four years. He said that practically all of the communist strike leaders had criminal records. As illustrations he said that Peter Darck. Harry Raymond and Irving Potash had been convicted of mis- demeanors and felonies.
 Sergeant at Arms Rogers advised the committee that MT. Whalen would soon appear as the meeting opened and in the meantime the committee heard s. stanwood Meu- ken. president of the National secur- ity League.
 Menken declared that all con- munists who were not Americans should be deported. Representative Bachmann of West Virginia pointed out that in view of the lack of diplo- matic relations with Soviet Russia, the United States government could not deport them to that country.
 Menken said he was not afraid American would become communis- tic, because Of the form of the gov ernrnent here, the savings accounts, the homes and the common sense of the American people,
 Would Punish Americans
 Asked by Representative Eslick of Tennessee what he would do with American born communists, Menken said he would make them men with out a country.
 Representative Nelson Of Maine interrogated him as to the plan used in England, where undesirables are given a limited time in which ,o leave the country. Menksn said he thought 1t sound policy but that one of the best ways in which to counteract the Soviet influence was to reason with them and to convert them to American ideals of govern- rient.

Income Reports Compared.
Income account for year 1929 COM
I929 Hard FARMING Year.


In a report to stockholders. George B.
Elliott, president, says in part as fol-
lows:
1.-The year 1929 was not prosperous
one for farmers living along your lines.
In Florida the growers had to face
a serious situation due to discovery of
the Mediterranean fruit fly infestation,
followed by drastic guarantees on fruit
and certain vegetables. A very unsat-
isfactory market situation because of
the largest citrus crop ever produced in
Florida became further demoralized in
the rush to ship the remainder Of the
crop permitted to be moved to mar
ket, depressing prices to still lower
levels. Much fruit was sold at I'M
profitable prices with loss to many
growers.
Due to the eradication work Of the
Florida and Federal Departments of
Agriculture, quarantine restrictions have
been appreciably modified, and in the
Winter of 1929-30 most of the important
vegetables of Florida were grown and
moved freely The citrus fruit crop for
1929-30, estimated at 100000 boxes,
was marketed at higher prices than in
the previous season. A large amount OF
early vegetable planting was destroyed
by rains and storm, but replanting was
promptly effected. so the vegetable
movement, 1t is estimated, will be IN
excess of the previous season"

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE same
conditions that have been prevailing in

Prices of high grade and secondary

popular descriptions touched new low

a tendency to rally with the stock mar

some soft spots in parts of the foreign

recently.
Trading in American Telephone &,

In the high grade list of rails there
were losses in Baltimore g. Ohio As and
