FURTHER FACTS AWAITED.
Chicago Board Committee Plans Thor
eugh Investigation.

ough Investigation.
CHICAGO, September % R.-Fur-
ther information was awaited today by
the Business Conduct Committee of the
Chicago Board of Trade before pressing
an investigation of hitherto unprece-
oented charges of attempted manipula-
ton by a foreign government.
The committee met briefly at the
close of yesterdays market. 1t an
nounced that thorough inquiry would
be made into charges of Secretary of
Agriculture Hyde that Soviet Russia
had been selling wheat short in an ef-
Tort to depress prices. The investi0a-
ton, however, will be conducted with
due regard for the delicate market
situation"
viii Call Brokers.
Amplifying the committees an
nouncement, Joseph w. Badenoch. its
ca1rman, said:
When We know who the brokers are.
they Will be called before the commit
tee and asked for complete details of
the transactions. BY the very nature of
IL, speculative business is confidential,
ana we are unable to proceed until we
nave definite information, as 1t might
gravely affect the market"
In the meantime, North American ex-
port business was virtually halted, as
Russia continued to offer large quar-
titles of wheat abroad 10 cents under
prices for similar wheat from this con-
tlnent. Canada and Great Britain
evinced deep concern in the investiga-
ton, and Premier Bennett of the Do
minion government offered any assist
ance 1t could give to the United States
Farm Board in its inquiry into the
charge that Russian selling has brought
about the recent decline in grains.
The United States visible grain SUD-
ply added to the discontinue by mount
ing to new high total for all time
2O2, $4,000 bushels. Argentina climbed
into the international wheat picture
with reports of rain there, which added
10 the general weakness Of the market.
Secrecy Is Denied.
E. Y. Belitzky, vice president Of the
AIl-RuSsian Textile Syndicate, made
the first reply on behalf of the Soviet
government to the Hyde charges. He
denied that any effort was made to
keep the hedging operations secret and
said that they had been contaminated
ON three days, involving q total of
7,765,000 bushels.
To suggestions from several quarters
in which the Government was urged
to go beyond the Russian charges and
investigate grain gambling" officials
OF the exchange referred inquisitors to
the book called THE Wheat Pit" by
Edward Jerome Dies OF the Board of
Trade, in which hedging is defended
as means of insurance and in which
1t Is denied that short selling creates
fictitious supply.

SAYS HYDE PLAYING POLITICS.

Senator Harrison Declares Secretary
Taking Hand in Coming Campaign
vICKSBURG. Miss, September %
H1.-Senator Pat Harrison, Democrat,
Mississippi, In q statement here yester-
day discussing assertions of Arthur M.
Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, that
Russia sold wheat short on the Chicago
market, charged Mr.. Hyde "is trying to
throw q trail of red herring across the
congressional campaign"
"Of course. it is not q benefit to
American agriculture, especially the
wheat farmer, that the Russians should
have sold any amount of wheat short
on the Chicago Exchange" the Senator
said, but this administration cannot
defend the deplorable plight of the
American wheat farmer or excuse its
misdeeds in respect to agriculture by
this little incident.
"Russia's trading in five or seven
million bushels of wheat in this country
could have had little effect, when it is
recalled that on the Chicago Exchange
there is approximately twenty billion
bushels of wheat traded in annually,
and the daily transactions amount to
around hundred million bushels.
Russia selling short 5000 900 bushels
VA W1Cab OFCA PCAlOd Vi IltAiC COu4Q
not have appreciably affected the pres
ent price of wheat.
THE farmers" the statement went
on, ARE in a distressed condition, not
wholly, but largely, because of the
failure of the Hoover administration to
cooperate with the Democratic minori-
ties in Congress to pass real farm legis-
lation."
The Senator added that nothing has
influenced the present depressed stu
alton as much as the passage of the
tariff law"

turned yesterday from a three months

ENGLAND CHARGES DUMPING.
Soviet Blamed for Record Postwar
Low Level In Grain Prices.

Low Level In Grain Prices.
LONDON. September % (P.-While
sales of Russian wheat have been
attracting attention In the United
States and complaints of Soviet dump
ing of their product have been voiced
at Geneva, great cutlery has devel-
oped in interested quarters against
alleged dumping of Russian grain, tim
Der and other commodities in this
country.
A section of the London press Is
featuring particularly the wheat stu
alton. Grain prices reached a record
postwar low level yesterday, due, 1t is
alleged, principally to Soviet dumping,
which, according to some statements,

has knocked the bottom out of prices"
The Soviet government, 1t is stated,
has chartered large number of steam
ers, mostly British, for the Black Sea
grair and Archangel timber trades.
Fifty ships were chartered at Cardiff
alone and the total tonnage is said to
be nearly $780, 900.
The grain market here is in a state
of nervous uncertainty. Meanwhile
other quarters point out that there are
various contributory causes for the low
price of wheat. Bakers are contem-
plating reductions in the price of bread.

DESTROYER GIVEN
 NEW TYPE 0F GUN
Navy Experiments With "Double Duty" Weapon on Gjlmer

Washington. Aug. 25 P-Naval limitation has led to another ex- pertinent in the navy which may bring drastic changes in a second ary but highly important fighting vessel-the destroyer.
 To answer the problem of what guns to place on the new destroyers which unquestionably will be built, the Gilmer is being equipped with a new type of gun which eventually may replace the armament of this kind of vessel. They are double duty" 5-inch guns, bearing that name because they should be ef- | fcient against surface vessels and may be elevated enough to fire on aircraft.
 These new guns, howSrer, will have range of less than four miles while the present 5-inch on the de- ->rcvcr are effective/at six miles. Although the naval officers have 1 been reticent to discuss the question some of them have said these 5-inCF ! double duty guns eventually may tbe placed on all destroyers and cer- | tainly on the larger vessels Of thiF type that can be built under the London naval treaty.
 The navy's latest experiments are being conducted to increase the eff | fciencv of the destroyers. whlcf were limited for the first time un' der the London treaty. While the navy now has 1ao,3o4 tons Of de stroyers, more than half of them ou Of commission. the treaty limits thu total to 150.00o tons.

Washington, Aug. 25 (UP)-The congressional election campaign was further enlivened today by new barrage of statements from both the democratic and republican camps.

 Wood said the scheme represents one of the most infamous incidents in American political history

PRESIDENT STUDIES
 WATER PROJECTS
Blankets Needed at Hoover Camp
 Over Week.End

Washington. Aug. 25.-tPl-In- vigorated by the brisk air of the Nlr- ginia mountains President Hoover returned to Washington today again to plunge into study of many prob lens for which he is seeking early solution.
 Nights spent under thick blank cts, evening around roaring wood fires, furnished the presidents camping party with a novel experi- ence after a summer of sultry heat that refused to yield even to the alti- -tude of the Hoover camp on the Rapidan river.
 Following his recent custom Of devoting each weekend to the con- sideration of different govern mental activity needing attention, the president spent much time dur ing the past two days over study of the inland waterways and the federal flood control work.
 In conferences with Major General Lytle Brown, chiet-of army engineers and other officials MT. Hoover de- cided on acceleration of the lower Mississippi flood control work and of waterway projects already being developed.
 For next year it was decided tc limit the rvers and harbors program to the most vital projects, concen- trating resources without stint upor Waterways which are expected to prove of immediate great commer. cial value. Reduction of expenyl- lures was not contemplated, but rather a wedding out of develop. ments of secondary significance. Yesterday the president, Mrs Hoover and a number of their guest: l attended religious services at the marine camp near the presidential retreat. It was the first time suct Sunday ohsepvance had been held b, 1 the guard and a navy chaplain anc portable, organ contributed to the 1 occasion.

NEW ENGLAND AIR
 NOT FULLY USED
District Is Under Allotted BrOad-
 casting Facilities
By GEORGE H. MANNING (Va shington Bureau. N. B. Herald)

Washington Bureau. N. B. Herald)
 Washington. D. c, Aug. 25-un- der a. new system of determining how much of the nations available broadcasting facilities should be al- loted to each state, devised by the Federal Radio commission. 1t is shown that Connecticut is not using its quota.
 In the first place it IS revealed that the entire first zone of which Connecticut is a part is under quota despite the fact that both New York and New Jersey are using more facilities than they are entitled to under the Davis amendment to the Radio act, which provides that the available facilities shall be allotted on an equitable basis among the states and the five radio zones into which the nation is divided,
 On the basis that all the broad casting facilities assigned to the first zone equal so units, all the facilities in use total but TAOS. leaving the zone under quota to the extent of 592 units. These figures are based on the last census and on the same basis Connecticut is due 4.46 units and is using but 3.62, and is there | fore under quota to the extent of ! OS4 units.
 | This condition exists in the first zone notwithstanding the fact that New Jersey is over quota 0.23 units, and New York over quota 3,45 units. All the New England states, to- gether with Porto Rico and the NlF- gin islands, are under quota. All T that group together with Delware and the District of Columbia make up the first zone.
 While the commission is conten1E Iating no transfer of facilities from the over quota to the under quota states. at present, commission off1- calls said that the fact that Connec- ticut is on an under quota basis will tend 10 aid applications for ad- ditional facilities when those facili ties are available for distribution through the taking of a channel off the air in an over quota state for whatever reason.
 They pointed out that it does not follow that such an application from Connecticut will be approved for the reason alone that the state is under quota and there is a channel. available since the public interest. convenience. and necessity, must be considered first. However, everything else being equal the Connecticut ap- plcation would be favored.
 It is shown in this new distribu- tion of facilities that both the first and second zones in the east are under quota, while the three zones i to the westward are over quota due. Of course, to the thinning out of ehe population over vast areas of land in the west
 The new allotments were made because of the fact that the new census figures were available. Here tofore the 1928 census estimates were used and on that bAsis Connec- ticut was 1.25 units under quota. although the states census. accord- ing to the 1928 estimate was high CT than the actual count in 193o.
