March Is after explosions of the
sealing ship Viking, has been seen
wandering about Change Island, 10
miles south of the Viking disaster
scene.
John Roberts of change island
reported today:
II am searching for the dog,
which I believe to be Frissel's, and
I hope to capture him some time
this week. He appears to be wild
and is walking on three legs"
Frissels dog was veteran Of a
previous northern trip and Frissel
and the animal were greatly at
tached to each other. so it was be-
lieved certain that the dog would
remain by the body and leave only
after it had disappeared.
Frissel was a 27-year-old adven-
turer from New York who had gone
on the Viking to film a drama of
the northland.

towns throughout the country DIR
ing the past three days.
The new republic celebrated the
anniversary of the first month of
Its existence by moving TO confis-
cate the private fortune and prop
critics of former King Alfonso XIII
as one result of the anti-religious
attacks on churches, converts and
other institutions. The authorities
ascribed the looting and burning
TO the erstwhile monarch's activities.
An official decree was issued last
evening empowering the minister of
finance, Indalecia Prieto, urgently
to appropriate everything in the
kings private fortune in Spain" 1t
was estimated that Alfonso's es-
tates and other properties would
exceed S10,000,000 in value.
The most valuable is the royal
palace at Santander, in the north,
which was personal gift to Alton
so by the citizens of Santander.
The other royal palaces are the
property of the crown.
The decree followed statement
by the prosecutor general of the
republic, who said the government

Naval Vessels To
Play Minor Role

BALTIMORE, May IA. (UP)--A
time when the big guns and float
ing fortresses of the navy will be
pushed back into a minor role in
sea warfare was foreseen last night
by Rear Admiral William A. Moi
felt, chief of the navy bureau of
aeronautics.
Addressing the American Society
of Mechanical engineers, Moffett
prophesized that aircraft will in fu-
ture wars be the main reliance of
the nation, with "the gun, as we
know it and use it today in a sec
ondary position. Aircraft had a
comparatively minor role in the last
war, but it will profoundly change
the methods of all future wars to
an infinitely greater degree than
we can vision today"
Surface vessels in that war, he
said, will be "obliterated" if they
come within range of large num-
bers of aircraft with shore bases
unless adequately protected by air
craft"

 "The first $100 each family gets should go for clothing. This would bolster cotton demand. If the nation would follow this plan. the cotton price would soar."
 The trouble is that families won't have the money for wide- spread cotton goods buying.
 A production of 35,000 bales Is expected in Lee county. Selling at $25 a bale. it would bring $S75,000. According to Colonel Robertson, government seed loans and private loans total $435.000. meaning a net return of $400,000 to farmers. Most of this amount will go to persons holding second mortgages:

 we are starting better times". he continues. "The farmer now realizes he must be self-sustain- ing.
 with restricted credit, at time when we have plenty of feed and food. farmers can be more independent. Heretofore, farm CTS were almost forced to grow cotton, because cotton is a cash crop, and 1t took the cash to re- pay loans." :,

 As Drought Taught Farmers To Grow All They Need To

 England, Ark.--Here in the hills of rural Arkansas, where hungry farmers staged a food riot last winter and the Red Cross fed starving thousands for weeks. the largest food and feed crops in local history are now being gath cred and stored away.
 Nobody is going to starve in Arkansas this winter, nobody even is going to be hungry. Every pantry is stacked high with canned goods put up by industri- ous housewives. barns are bulg- ing with hay and corn and as soon as the first winter freeze brings "hog- killing time," meat will dangle from every hook in the smokehouse.
 Grow Own Food.
 The same brassy summer sun that last year burnt up the cot ton crop and left a one-crop sec- ton without money to buy food has this year yielded. food and foodstuffs in profusion. The dis astrous failure of the 1930 cotton 'crop brought on by the great drought, taught the farmers a long-needed lesson; they are now growing food for themselves and their livestock.
 Last winter, with a short cot ton crop selling at II cents a pound and no feed or food sup plies, thousands of indigent share croppers survived on meager "one-cent a meal" Red Cross ra- tions.
 Although cotton has slumped to six cents a pound this fall, optimism prevails. There may not be much cash money, but there will be plenty of food.
 Improvised sheds protect much of the phonomenally large sur plus, made possible by demands of government and bankers for diversification when loans were made this spring.
 Don't Need Aid Now
 c. E. Hankins, president of the Bank of England and head of the Red Cross unit at England, says:
 We do not anticipate Red Cross aid this winter. We are swamped by the surplus vegeta ble and feed, crops. Food is plentiful.
 Local merchants bought 12 pressure cookers and sealers for free canning use in this area. The Red Cross distributed free thou- sands of cans. County agents have supervised canning.
 Sorghum, which has been scant in recent years, is now found in every home. It suffices for sugar.
 Sixty per cent of school taxes have been paid, and schools will open soon. The government will collect about 9S per cent of seed loans. Even with the six-cent cot ton crop, planters will be able to pay last years and this years land taxes. interest on current loans and reduce the principal about one-fourth."
