Business Notes

NEW YORK, July IA contract for
construction of section of the 950-mile
natural gas pipe line from the Texas
Panhandle TO Chicago has been awarded
to the engineering firm of Ford, Bacon
& Davis. Section 8 extends from
Pawnee County, near Larned, Kans., to
Cloud County, near Concordia, Kans.,
and Is about 100 miles long.
H. w. Peters, vice president in charge
of distribution, said that so far in July
Packard motor car shipments have
maintained the pace set in June, when
retail deliveries Of 1900 cars established
a record for that month and also ex-
ceeded any month so far this year.
While sales of woolens to mems cloth
ing makers have not been particularly
impressive the belief has been expressed
in the trade that a definite upturn will
materialize, due to the fact that both
manufacturers and retailers stocks are
on very low basis.
Sinclair Oil g. Gas and Independent

There is little indication OF a possibly
inadequate 1880 pea crop, despite an
exceedingly poor yield in Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey and Indiana al
ready reported. These States, which In
1929 accounted for approximately L.
O00. 900 cases Of the canned product,
report but 100000 cases. This repre-
sents negligible proportion Of the
country's total, however, and adverse
weather conditions suffered In these
localities were considered more extreme
than In other pea-producing centers.
It Is Wisconsin that holds the key to
the situation, the National Gamers
Association says, as this State produces
approximately one-half Of the country's
total crop. This States Alaska or early
crop suffered a serious setback, due to
a late freeze, but the sweets or late crop
was not affected. While the yield of the
early crop will undoubtedly be curtailed,
the Department OF Agriculture feels
that the increased acreage under eulti-
walton will Offset the former.

State total then the frost damage re-
sulting from the reduction of the early
crop becomes slightly less than is per
cent.
The department paints a gloomy pic
ture of the wheat situation, saying, in
part: 1.-THE continued low price of
wheat is very discouraging to the West.
Wheat has sold recently at the lowest
since 1914 and nearly down to the
1907 figure. Growers are not disposed
to hurry their threshing operations, nor
to sell grain in as heavy volume as
usual on the early market. Terminal
storage space Il still about half filled
with old grain. World stocks of wheat
are still relatively heavy, though they
are probably 1S0, 0o0. 900 bushels smaller
than q year ago, this decrease being
chiefly In Argentina, which was Offer
ing large quantities of wheat in COM
petition with American grain at this
time last year."

Inmates indicate this major center,
which in 1929 supplied 9,400, 900 cases
of the country's total of 1880, 900, will
have yield Of about IS per cent of
normal crop. The area of peas planted
is about $4,000 acres, of which about
one-half are Alaska and one-half sweets.
Slightly more than half the early crop
was affected In some measure by frost.
OF this damaged acreage, 1t has been
estimated per cent would not be har-
vested at ALL that 20 per cent was seri-
ously damaged and would make only SO
per cent OF normal crop, and that the
remaining 40 per cent was slightly dam
aged and would make 90 per cent Of q
normal crop.
Normally, the department saws. sweets
yield higher than Alaskas. Reviewing
data gathered during the last two years
on yields indicates Alaskas have been
yielding about rs cases per acre for this
State and sweets about 90 cases. on
that basis, wash an even division of
acreage between Alaskas and sweets
the total production would be about As
per cent of the former and SIS per cent
for the latter. II the 80 per cent loss

tial production of the crop under nor

GREEN WILL DEFY
 RADIO COMMISSION
Michigan Governor Insists on
 Right to Build Station

Lansing. Mich, March 26 (Up) The federal radio commission vas accused by Governor Fred w. Green of Michigan, of placing jazz music above the protection of Michigan citizens yesterday.
 Nothing will be permitted to stand in the way of the states con- struction of a state police radio station, Governor Green said, and added that a fight to the last ditch" will result if the radio boar'l persists in blocking Michigan'a path
 Asks For Arrests
 The radio board asked Attorney General Mitchell to arrest the proper person in event Michigan goes ahead with it's station despite the boards orders. A hearing for 8. low wave radio band for Michi- eans state station has been set for May Is, but Governor Green said this was too long to wait in view of the fact the board looks with disfavor on the states request.
 The State of Michigan is not engaging in a, controversy with the radio commission" the governor said. Tt is simply asserting a fundamental principle of American government and if the radio com mission gets in the way it is the commissions fault, not ours.
 The police power has been re- served to the several states. It is not subect to any limitation, but is q sovereign power"
 The legislature provided funds for the state station, Governor Green said, and lin the interest of Comity,' tbe federal board was asked for wave length.
 Congressmen May Aid
 Reports that the Michigan dele gation in congress might be asked to intervene in the case were sub- stantiated by Greens statement when he said to wait until the ] board hears the plea for a. wave length and renders a decision would mean waiting until after congress has adjourned.
 If congressional action were de- sired. it would then be many months before it could be secured,' he said.
 Green left no doubt that the state will proceed with it's plans. We have secured bids and are about to contract for our radio sta tion," he said When it is built we will use it. We should have preferred to operate on some wave

THOMPSON IN CITY
 EMPLOY SINCE '75
Town Clerk Leads All C0nteS-
 taDtS in Point Of Service

In point of continuous municipal service, Town Clerk Alfred l.. Thompson who faces a, three-cor- ncred primary fight for renomina- ton at the republican primary Fri day. tops the entire field this year, having been a city employe before many candidates for places on the tickets of the two parties were born.
 In 1875 and 1876, he was a mem Der of the fire department, serving for a salary of $40 year. From 1876 to 1897. he was a member Of the Connecticut National Guard, enlisting as .. private and retiring as a lieutenant colonel. AS a. part Of his military experience he WAS an instructor at the Episcopalian Academy at Cheshire. From 1896 to 1906 he was city clerk, an1 when the city, and town were con- solidated. in 1906, and l.. D. Pen- field became town and city clerk. he made Col. Thompson his deputy. Mir Penfield's retirement in 1912, was followed by the election Of Thompson as his successor. On many occasions, he has been re- elected with the endorsement Of the. democrats.
 Fraternal connections have taken much of Col. Thompson's time. H. is 32nd degree Mason, and has been in the order 70 years: a char ter member of New Britain Lodge of Elks; a member of the Loyal Order of Moose; member of the Red Men; member of the Odd Fellows; past commander of the Knights of Pythias; member Of tho Temple of Honor, and member os the Order of Owls.
 Payment of all city employes once a week instead of once a month. was made possible through Col. Thompsons willingness to ac- cept this task although it was not included in his specified duty. Dur ing the period when reven1e stamps were required on all docu- ments, he kept a stock on hand which he sold at face value, his own funds being used to keep this service. The same condition is now true of blank realty documents, of which Mir. Thompson keeps a stock for the convenience of those who have occasion to use them.
