EXPORT APPLES
Delaware Growers Represent
ed in Move to Curb Bans
On u. S. Product
A COUNCIL IS FORMED

Heads of apple growers societies
in the eastern United States asked
the agricultural department last
Wednesday to issue more exact
ing export certificate in a drive to
halt further restrictive measures
by foreign nations against Ameri-
can apples. At the same time,
they adopted a resolution urging
the adoption of a reciprocal ar
rangement with Argentina aimed
at stimulating both the American
apple trade and Argentine's grape
industry. A permanent council of
eastern apple growers was formed
with former Governor Harry F..
Byrd of Virginia at its head. John
Napier Dyer, president of the In
diana Horticultural Society, who
proposed the permanent organiZa-
tion, said he hoped for solution
of domestic as well as foreign ap-
pie trade problems through it. Ag-
riculture department officials pres
ent at the meeting said they did
not object to the new export re-
quirements and that tightening of
the regulations was a matter for
the growers to decide. The new
certificate would be issued only on
the top apple grades and would re-
quire those shipments to be SO per
cent free of the San Jose scale, in
addition to continuing in force re-
stricting against worms and spray
residue. Byrd urged the growers
to send out cleaner, higher grade,
fruit and said 'it is only a matter
of time until all but absolutely
clean fruit is barred from the for
eign market" He and others urg-
ed acceptance of Argentina's pro-
posaI that an exchange of inspec-
tors be arranged. This suggestion
was embodied in the resolution
that will be sent to Secretary Hyde
of the Agriculture Department. F.
w. Richardson, president of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society of
Delaware and Maryland, was pres
ent at the meeting. Besides the
states represented, apple growers
of Tennessee, Michigan, Kentucky,
Vermont, Maine, New
North Carolina,
Georgia, Missouri and Arkansas
were invited to participate.

iod. The total of 61,309 compares
with 33,125 cold in March, a gain
of 85 per cent, and with 55,432
built in April, which was 5000
more than the production schedule
called for at the beginning of that
month, Hr Knudsen reported. ''The
public response to our product
went ahead of expectations during
April. This is particularly graft
flying to us since it indicates pub
lie recognition of our aim to build
a low-priced quality car. Value,
prominent in all cars this year,
was made more pronounced than
ever in the history of Chevrolet
when we were able to reduce prices
on April L." Mr. Knudsen said.

light or some distinguishing object
to serve as warning Of his pres
ence. The deaths of more than two
and one-half thousand pedestrians
along rural highways would seem
to indicate that for their own safe
ty pedestrians should never per
nit two cars to come abreast Of
them along rural highways. On
the other hand, drivers at night
should SO reduce their speeds that
they would be able to stop within
the distances of their lights. Rec
ords of pedestrian deaths along ru-
raj highways show too many in
stances in which pedestrians have
been killed before the driver could
stop his car. The fact that pedes-
trians assume and exercise a sense
of personal responsibility does not,
relieve drivers from also
exercising self-control Automo-

TROTZKY HITS AT
POWER OF STAIN
Deposed Leader Has Visions
of Coming Back.

London.-Russia is in the throes
of a serious rebellion against Stain,
the Moscow dictator.
The movement, judging from the
very guarded references in the Off
cial newspapers. in directed by
Trotzky, the deposed commissar for
war. for his exile in Turkey.
The rank and file Of the rebels. de-
scribed as Trotzkyites, or Left
Wingers, have invaded every STRAIT
egical point in the Soviet economic
machinery and, in spite Of frequent
arrests, have maintained their infu-
ence.
Soviet spokesmen, according to
verbatim reports which have Just
reached the Daily Mail. openly adj
nit that the rebels have been
harassing Stalin's government for
more than a year, and that their ac-
tlon has led to serious consequences
In vital sections of the five-year
plan for Russia's industrialization.
Trotzky still hopes to return to
Moscow, and for this purpose
Keeps in touch with his Russian and
foreign groups of followers. These
groups, as well as Trotzky himself.
are financed from a secret fund.
which continues to grow. It is es-
timated that the Trotzkyites in Rus
sia are spending $4,000 a month
on bribes and "other forms of cor
ruptiOn.'
A private complaint of Trotzky's
activities was made recently by Rus
sia to the Turkish government,
which replied that it was unable to
take any action.
How greatly Stain is perturbed
by the growth of the revolt is shown
Dy venomous attacks he has recent
ly launched against Preobrazhen-
sky, one of the Soviet's financial ne
gotiators in London, whose crime. |
like that of Trotzky In 1925, is a
book reviewing the world position. |
Every Soviet misfortune has been
attributed to his Interpretation of
events.
Close observers of affairs in Rus
s1a believe that the days of the
Stain regime are numbered, and
that his opponents will make a de-
cisive bid for power when they are
fully equipped and ready.

Famous t'Iron Hand"
 Is Ruling Germany
 At Present Moment
General Kurt YOn Schlei- cher May Succeed Von Papen as Chancellor
 The Latter Will Take Charge of Prussia Military Will Rule
By FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondenj

NCMtc0 IFcSS Stdn OOrTCSpOuUcMtJ, Berlin, July 22.-(UP)-The fa- nous iron hand of militaristic pre- war Germany ruled the Reich to- day with it possible that General Kurt Von Schleicher, defense min- ister. would succeed Franz Won Papen as chancellor.
 Politicians saw in the swift and amazing death of the Russian cab- inet and declaration of virtual martial law a definite plan to com- pletely, remodel the cabinet soon after the Reichstag elections of July 31. And in this shake-up, the powerful and almost sphinx-like Von Schleicher was seen as the dominant figure.
 There was no doubt of the part Won Schleicher played in the over- night "Putsch" of the Junkers gov- ernment that ended states rights in Prussia, busted officials who had controlled the Prussian govern ment and police force of 90.000 men since the birth of the German republic. and practically nullified the effects of the German revoiu- tion.
 When Won Papen, expelled from the United States for World war activities as a German spy. was named chancellor succeeding the scholarly pr Heinrich Bruening, the military came back in control with Von Schleicher as its marshal.
 Adolf Hitler's Fascists were ex- pected to take an important share in the Reich government as a re- suit of the elections. Although HitIer's enthusiasm has cooled for such infiamatory phrases as heads shall roll in the sand" he re- mained one of the most important

 Another moment and wind whip ped the calm water into waves six feet high. waves that swamped rented fishing boats manned by in- experienced men. At least of the scores of-row boats, fiatbottoms and canoes were swamped. Some occu- pants did struggle to shore. One man's body was recovered. Four others were known to have been drowned. And Sheriff Fred Schramm, who led the search to- day, said he believed eight had been drowned. He added that a death toll double that figure would not surprise him.

FIRED INTO LEFT EARS
 OF TWO VICTIMS

New York. July 22-(UP)- Mouths sealed with adhesive tape, hands. tied behind their backs, the bullet torn bodies of two men were found under pear trees near the entrance to a large truck farm in Bayside, Queens, l.. l., at dawn today.
 Dr Howard Neail, assistant me- dical examiner, said that as far as he could determine each man had been shot in the left ear. The hands of each man were soft; the nails manicured. Shoes were worn, and clothing was a medium quail ty, and carelessly grooped. Both had been dead for several hours.
 Police, working on the theory that the men might have been bartenders involved in some gang feud, said they believed the men had been killed elsewhere, and the bodies carried to the spot where they were found. Casual examina- ton of the bodies failed to reveal any marks of Identification.

 The French and Italian delegates to a meeting of the nter-parlia- mentary union.- held in a hall ad- joining the world arms conference, exchanged insults and the meeting broke up in disorder.
 Pierre Renaudel, French socialist delegate, insulted the Fascist re- gime and Carlo Costamagna, Ital- ian deputy. spiritedly took up the defense of Mussolini.
 The meeting was adjourned while peace efforts were made by other delegations, and in the mean- time, Italo Balbo, Italian minister or air. conferred with Mussolini by telephone.
 The Italians demanded an apol- ogy, but Renaudel said he would never apologize. He had disparag- ed Fascist rule as being unparli- rnentary and on the heat of the dispute, had referred to the Mat teoti murder, fighting words to a Fascist. @
