GRAIN CODE ENDS
FEARS ON MARKET
Traders Glad Uncertainty Is Over
and Look Forward to Crop
Reports Monday.
BY the Associated Press,

CHICAGO, September 9. - Relief
from uncertainty as to just what an
N. R. A. code would mean when applied
to grain exchanges gave Board of Trade
members considerable satisfaction.
Widespread misgivings. which to a
great extent were dispelled by author
ltative announcement Of details of the
proposed N. R. A. grain code, have been
largely held responsible for sharp cur
tailment of grain business the last
week, and for resulting material de-
clineS in prices. With this bugbear re-
moved many traders were disposed to-
day to see crop news and other supply
and demand factors exert more nor
NAL influence, and act as a fresh
stimulus to upturns in values.
Conspicuous among forthcoming de-
velopmentS other than the effects of
the N. r. A. grain code is that Monday
will reveal more definitely than hereto
fore how much wheat has been raised
N North America this season. The in
formation is to come when the official
American and Canadian September
crop reports are given to the trade
Around 15000O,0GO bushels of Spring
wheat is expected to be announced for
the United States and around 270,000,-
900 bushels in the Canadian prairie
provinces. Both of these totals are
heavily short Of last year.

TRUCK DRIVERS
 OF STATE CALLED UNREASONABLE
Union Organizer CrOwther Scores Them for Acts
 Asked to Resign

New Haven. Conn. Dec F. UP)-Local truck drivers arc un- reasonable in their demands. and want the world with a fence arc und it," r. E. Crowther. union organizer. said today in comment ing on the request for his resigna- ton made by the executive board of the union.
 Crowther said he did not intend to fight to retain his place. He already has decided to resign. he said.
 The International Truck Drivers union, according to Crowther has three times granted charters to Connecticut drivers and as many times revoked them because of their unreasonable acts. He cited a recent firing of truck here by four men who went on an indc- pendent strike.
 New Haven truck leaders also were accused of being in favor of strong arm methods in dealing with drivers not members of the union. Crowther said the truck owners now. are paying as high a wage rate as they can, and said 1t was useless for the drivers to make demands that could not be met.
 Crowther came to Connecticut last August and organized the truckers He later called strike which tied up highway freight transportation two or three days, and subsequently represented the truckers on the arbitration board named to settle the difference be- tween the workers and their em- ployers.

FRANCE IGNORES PAYING OF DEBT
Due This Month and She May Not Even Send
 a Note

Paris, Dec 12-CUP)-France will completely ignore the debt in- stalment due the United States on December .15, the United Press learned today.
 Unless there was a last minute revision of the governments atti- tude, it is probable that France will not even dispatch any note explaining the default, as she did on July 15.
 The cabinet. discussing econom- ics and national finances, touched only briefly on the United States treasury's memorandum to the debtor powers, and failed to take action.
 Members of the cabinet asserted that circumstances were unchanged since July, and that France feels obliged to defer further payments until she is offered new debt ar engagement which will fit in her general plan for economic rehabil- itation of the world.
 It was stressed, however, that France lis not attempting to break the signed debt agreement"
 The Quai d'Orsay insists the principles expressed in it's July note to Washington, in which it eX- pressed a readiness Ito discuss the debt solution, still remain in effect.

Wellington, N. g., Dec 12.- CUP)-The freighter Jacob Rup- miral Richard E. Byrd's south pert, principal ship of Rear Ad- Polar expedition, sailed from the spring climate of New Zealand to- day for the Ross Sea and the ice barrier that covers Antarctica.
 Byrd hoped that the Ruppert would overtake, on its way to his base, the Bear of Oakland, on which most members of the ex- petition had sailed previously, and to spend Christmas at his per1na- nent base, Little America in the Bay of Whales.
 Most of the expedition members were on the Bear. The Ruppert has the supplies, including the twin engined airplane and the autogyro which Byrd plans to use in explor- atory Polar flights. Byrd was the Ruppert.
 On his previous expedition Byrd flew over the pole. This time he hopes to land at the spot in the autogyro. Only seven men have reached the pole-Roald Amund- sen and a companion and the five members of Captain Robert F. Scotts expedition.
