Hooyer's Attention Now

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 10. W.pS
The domestic wheat crisis was
drawing President Hoover's atten-
tion back from the European sit
uation today.
Wheat has sunk to the lowest
prices ever recorded just at the
time farmers in middlewestern
states are hauling their golden har-
vest to market.
Agitation for private "moratori-
ums" is spreading among western
farmers who are using the Presi-
dents war debt moratorium plan,
and the arguments for 1t, as
precedent. While such arrange
ments would be matters of private
agreement between farmers and
their creditors, some officials here
would regard it as unfortunate II
any such practice should lead to the
general idea that debts can be
escaped.
The wheat situation is expected to
lend to numerous developments next
winter, if not before.
Many in the administration be-
lieve congress will enact a law en-
tirely prohibiting speculative short
selling of grain. That is the least
that can happen, according to the
view of some. Agitation in the
middlewest is showing aggressive
symptoms which recall the belliger-
ent movements of the Populist days
in their hostility to administration
economics. The argument is being
raised in middle western newspa-
per comment that If the admins
tration can forego $3.50 100000 IN a
debt moratorium for Europe, it
ought to do something for those at
home.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, July l6. W.H
Farmers of the southwest today
faced financial disaster as they
poured upon an already glutted
market the greatest flood of the
golden grain in history and we're
forced to sell it at a price far be-
low the cost of production.
From dozen markets came word
of new lows reached as the huge
wheat crop poured in and further
depressed prices. In Chicago yes
terday July futures sold at 5oh
cents bushel, new low in the
history of the market. At Kansas
City the same month sold at Also,
while at Minneapolis the price was
55M.
To some men, such prices, said
to be the lowest since Kansas be-
came a state, brought discourage
ment so bitter that, faced with
clogged terminals and the prospects
of an even lower market, they drove
their plows into the fields to turn
under their greatest crop. They
were convinced, they said, that
harvesting costs would be too great
to Justify the reaping.

would be accepted as fact that
he had such thoughts and took
pleasure in their appeal to the pub
lie.
The mere suggestion that this ia
nous observer OF public and private
affairs is on view has the magic
power to Danish all except the most
buoyant thoughts. The great merit
in his way Of entertaining is that 1t
convinces the average citizen that
Will Rogers himself Is having these
odd experiences and that his unique
combination of delight and wisdom
is winning a battle with the world.
Appearing in the screen version
of a somewhat historic story, now
called Young as You Feel" at the
Fox Theater, he plays around In
one of George AIDES notable con-
tributions to nonsense. made more
striking by the characteristic antics
of Fiji Dorsay, an arrival on the
scene in an age which had long
since forgotten the famous COM
edianS who found profitable ma
terial in this story of the big BUSH
ness man turning the tables on his
idle sons. Mr.. Rogers and Miss Dor
say also employ modern methods Of
of two or more cities.
The task of the feminine partner
of Mr.. Rogers is one which is adapt
ed to the recognized talents of this
busine 5slike but vivacious exponent
of life on the fringe Of the popular
art colony. It Is convincing in the
extreme when she drags a slave OF
business from his desk and puts him
into q glittefing world, while her
imitation Of the artificial person
seeking to capitalize her own at
fractions seems thoroughly plausible
and nobody Is surprised that Mr..
Rogers believes for q while that he
has been the victim Of costly game.
Miss Dorsay Is distinctive in her
style, and never loses an opportunity
to display her art. A fairly large
cast assists these two actors. and the
show registers interest throughout.
The program at the Fox is uni
fornly coed, with the Fanchon and
Marco Submarine idea" presented
on the stage, Bob Hamilton con-
tinuing his original style of organ

Reviews and News of Washington Theaters.

husband and the close friend are
brought into the story, but 1t is not
the ordinary triangle, for the second
man shares the efforts of the wife to
keep the family intact.
Behind the fiction involved is a
series Of pictures representing the
perils of the Antarctic region, and
the rivalry of the dirigible and the
plane is factor in the working out
OF the story. The producers give
credit to the Navy Department for
assistance in filming the strong
camera representations of an area of
snow and ice, swept by the storms of
a polar region. The difficulties pro-
vided by nature are intensified by
the urge of hunger, and the result
is a tragic outcome, so far as most
OF the members of the expedition
are concerned.
"Dirigible, already familiar to the
theater-going public. has strong
fascination because of those quail
ties which have been observed in pic
lures Of official exploration. The in
terpolatlon of domestic incidents
gives l. that touch of human life
which lends interest to its story.
There Is also an outstanding emo
tional quality in the march back
from the South Pole after the air
plane has been destroyed, and the
members of the party, one by one,
succumb to the rigors Of their ex-
perience. The rescue of the last of
the party by the dirigible and the
smooth progress of that craft over
the frozen regions are pictures likely
to l1nger long in the memory Repre-
sensations Of the storms, with their
devastating force, stir the sympathy.
The plot Of the play Is simple but eff
fective in the hands of excellent
actors.
