BY the Associated Press
The National Advisory Committee on
Illiteracy submitted its final report to-
day with an estimate that there are
4,283,753 persons IN the United States
who can neither read nor write.
The committee, appointed three years
ago by President Hoover, with Secretary
of the Interior Wilbur as chairman,
will go out of existence at the end Of
this year, due to exhaustion Of funds.
Its work will be carried forward. how
ever, by the National Illiteracy Crusade
an organization with Offices in WASH
ington.
Pointing to the 1880 census, the re-
port said 1t showed a 648,l52 reduction
in the number Of illiterates for the pre-
vious 10 years, while there was a IT,
044,426 increase in population. This
was said to be one-third drop in nlit-
eracy during the decade.
wyoming, with less than 5000 illier-
ates, has become as acutely conscious of
her problem as has Georgia with her
100000" the report continued. "Ex-
amples Of what has been accomplished
by intensive effort are found in Louis
lana, where some 10000 illiterates were
placed under instruction, and in Geor-
gia, where 10000 were given similar
help"

BANK SEES TRADE
ON BETTER BASIS
Guaranty Trust Monthly Re-
view Finds the Outlook
CIouded, However.
Sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 30-Pres-
poets are undoubtedly better at the END
Of 1882 than they were at the end OF
1891, said the Guaranty Trust Co., IT
Its monthly business review.
The outlook for the early future
however. is more than usually clouded
with uncertainty" it said.
War debts, trade barriers, monetary
restoration. budget balancing. and po.
litical stability represent problems that
have become more vital than ever to
the worlds economic welfare and that
depends for their solution on the action
OF public officials.
ANY attempt to appraise the signifl-
canoe of the present situation must,
therefore, be predicated on certain as
sumptions regarding the policies to be
pursued by the governments OF the
principal industrial nations.
II the existing problems are handled
with an adequate appreciation OF the
economic principles involved, 1t Is rea-
sonable to expect that the coming year
will witness continuation OF the prog
resS that was begun In the latter half
of 1892. However, there must newt
ably be a period of uncertainty and
hesitation until decisive steps are taken
to remove the politico-economic OBJ
stacleS that now stand in the way Of
recovery and until enough time has
elapsed to give some indication whether
the decisions reached represent ade-
Quate solutions.
THE default by several nations on
their war-debt payments to the United
States due on December IS cannot be
regarded otherwise than as a blow to
confidence and, consequently, as a set
back to trade revival throughout the
world it is to be feared, moreover. that
the default will tend to retard, rather
than promote, the final solution of the
debt problem. How serious the adverse
effects may be will depend on the ex-
tent to which the American attitude in
the face of this Unfortunate develop
ment Is tempered with a broad-minded
appreciation of the debtors point Of
view.
The principal need Of the moment
is a settlement Of the question that will
end the present uncertainty, and the
achievement of a satisfactory solution
will require as much good will and
mutual liberation as can be summoned
to the aid of the negotiators."

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-08-30

Eight delegates from Waterbury to the coming state convention of the republican party were elected last night at anything but a peace full session. The city convention. held in g. o. p. headquarters on Harrison avenue and opened by Town Chairman Theobald E. Con- way, chose the eight delegates aft CT a stormy caucus. Chairman Conway, Peter Daunais, Peter De- Cicco and James P. McGrath were elected delegates-at-large. Judge T. V. Meyer and Mrs Alice Dow were chosen to represent the 18th dis trict, while in the 18th district those elected were Mrs Gertrude Bowes and Charles J. DeBisschop.
 Before the convention opened last night there was a feeling current that a contest for places on the delegation would take place. An open fight was averted, however, by having the delegates from the two senatorial districts caucus. Fol- lowing a lengthy discussion behind closed doors the slate of eight was agreed upon and subsequently elected by the full convention.
 As stated several days ago in the democrat, the local republican state delegates will favor former Governor John H. Trumbull of Plainville for the gubernatorial nomination and State Treasurer Roy Wilcox of Meriden for the ant-governorship. No vote
 was passed last night, however,

Blockading Farmers Meeting With Some
 Serious Obstacles
County Authorities and Others in the States Affected Are Beginning to Exert Legal Powers-lhe End Is Not Yet

sheriff to call out the national guard" Sheriff Ed Thigman said.
 The two moves were definite in- dications of the growing irritation caused by the farmers strike in the two states. The strike has threatened to cut produce markets from their source of supply, and thus boost prices paid to the farm CT growers.
 The moves followed widespread violence of petty nature in the strike areas here, near Sioux City, and near Des Moines Iowa where two pickets were thrown into jail.
 Meanwhile strike leaders, and truckers had agreed to plan whereby livestock may be market ed whenever prices exceed produc- tion costs. They agreed cattle prices are favorable now, but the farmers insisted hog prices are too low even to merit consideration. The plan however, is not in ac- cord with rules of the farmers holiday association and must be sanctioned by that organization to become effective.
 Sheriff Thigman revealed that State Sheriff Endres had instructed him to arrest all Iowa pickets who come across the Missouri river to Nebraska.
 Farmers in this section copcen- trated their activities against milk and dairy products, attempting to increase prices by shutting off dis tributors from their supply sources.
 The situation became acute in Council Bluffs, Ia. powdered milk was being sold to alleviate the shortage. Several large dairies re- ported they were receiving only l5 to 20 gallons daily.
 Efforts of G. F. Bloss. of Sioux City, representative of Milo Reno. national president of the farmers association, to arbitrate the milk price war. and gain increases Tor the strikers met no success.
 The strikers were cheered by re- ports that farmers in Ohio and Oklahoma were preparing to join them.
 Sheriff Percy Lainson of Pot tawatomie Council Bluffs) county was called to appear before the grand jury today and present evil dence for an investigation of dis orders there.
 The Sioux City Chamber of Com merce, seeking to open highways into that city, has requested Gov ernor Warren Green Of south Dakota. Governor Dan Turner of Iowa and Governor Charles Bryan of Nebraska to aid.

Deadly Corn Factor "
 Cuts Off Sweetness
State Agricultural Station Genetcists Reports Factor
 Capable of Eliminating Sweetness

is that 's'tarchy" is dominant inheritance factor and sweet" is recessive, the same as brunettes are dominant over the red-heads, and dark eyes are dominant over blue. The laws and mechanism of heredity are the same, whether the individual is plant. an animal, or a human being.
 Dr.. Singleton said that in the course of studies on the experiment station farm in Mount Cormel, corn grew that was 65 to 75 per cent sweet. On the other hand, plants appeared only per cent sweet, or not sweet at all. This was all wrong according to the known facts and studies were undertaken to find out how it happened. The investigation has been conducted jointly with Dr Donald F. Jones of the Connecticut station and Dr. Paul c. Mangelsdorf, now of the Texas station.
 Starchy and sweet are known to exist in the same chromosomt. and to act opposite, balancing each other. An already known factor in this chromosome serves to elimin- ate starchy by affecting the pollen. Dr. Singleton. believes that the new factor, affecting the ovules as it does, may be present standing op- posite to the factors that damage the starchy characters. He will make cytological examinations this winter to evaluate this theory.

LEGION LEANING TOWARD BONUS
 TO SAVE ITSELF
The Old Organization Is Losing Members Be- cause of Opposition to Cash Plan and V. F. w. Is Gaining

Washington. Aug 30-(U. P) = The American Legion's desire to keep it's membership rolls intact is expected to help the fight to force adoption of a full bonus payment resolution at the coming legion convention.
 Observers of legion affairs re- ported that there is feeling among some of its leaders that fail ure to endorse full immediate pay ment of the banus has caused some members to desert to rival organ izations favoring the movement.
 Legion officials generally hesitat- ed to confirm reports of these de- sertions. They preferred to attri- bute a slight falling off in member ship to the depression.
 The membership of the veterans society now is approximately 1OO,. | 900 less than when the organiza. tion a year ago voted down full cash payment resolution at its De troit convention. That action was taken immediately after moving appeal to the veterans by President Hoover personally in a hurried vis- it to the convention city.
 The reduction in membership brings the total legion enrolment to 950,000.
 Others familiar with the legion's affairs admitted there have been reports of voluntary Assertions" In many instances, it was said, To- cal legion officials favor switching the legion's bonus stand in order to prevent further losses.
 The legion's own figures indicate that heavy enrollments have here- tofore followed organization en- dorsement of veterans aid meas ures. The heaviest enrolment gain for a single year followed passage by congress of the bill providing for loans up to 50 per cent of the value of adjusted service certifi- cates.
 Further support to the theory that many veterans are joining ri- val organizations favoring payment of the bonus is given in estimates of the membership of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 That organization has been active in support of the bonus payment and lobbied for it during the last session of congress. Since the be- ginning of the year numerous ap- plica.iUns for V. F. w. charters have poured in from scattered parts of the country.

Ithaca, Aug 3O-A deadly in- heritance factor hitherto. unknown that is capable of completely elim- mating the production of sweet kernels on an ear of corn, was re- ported this afternoon to the Sixth international Congress of Gentics by Dr Willard Ralph Singleton. as- sistant genoticits of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
 Dr Singleton found in the corn under study that potentialities ex- isted for producing the regular number of sweet kernels. All of the germ cells were present, but those carrying the sweet" factor were obliterated, hence no sweet kernals appeared. The speaker illustrated this point by lantern slide depicting an eah of corn only partly filled. The anatomy of the corn provided for the sweet ker- nels-instead empty spaces ap- ueared where they were not per- mitted to develop.
 Th normal condition of corn when sweet is crossed with starchy and the first generation is bred by itself, is that three starchy ker- nels tappear to one of sweet. The reason for the difference in number
