Merely Oxygen,
New Theory of
Suns Corona

BOSTON, Oct. 25.-Blasting
the theory long held by astron-
omers that the suns corona
the bright halo of white light
surrounding the sun during a
total eclipse-is caused by some
chemical unknown on earth,
the Harvard astronomical OBJ
servatory has announced that
the light comes from oxygen.
The oxygen in the suns at
mosphere is the source of the
supply of most of the light
seen in the corona, according to
the announcement, which says
that other sources of the light
may be revealed.
The corona is either rounded
as the petals of a flower or
bow-tie in shape, the latter
corona extending from both
sides of the suns equator, as
if tied on the solar mid-section.

the Boston Evening American

In a lonely grave, unmarked

the story said.
John j. Burke and Frank Kar-

Coyne had been sought by

article, Coyne was tried and
found guilty" by an underworld

Joseph F. Miller, Retired Government Worker,
Tells How He Once Barely Escaped
Being Burned By Indians
Heroes of Western movies have|

Heroes of Western movies have
nothing on Joseph F.. Miller.
Back in 1881. in the days when
the West was really Wild and
woolly, he was about to be burned
at the stake by a group of
howling Indians when ' last
minute rescued was effected.
He was the first person to get
the facts on the death of Sitting
Bull, and a congressional inves-
tigation resulted.
He worked on the Dakota news
paper which carried the first word
of the battle of the Little Big
Horn, better known as Clusters
Last Stand"
Today he sits in his home in
the 1900 block North Capitol
Street, retired from active life
but still spry and hearty, and
EeminiSces about the past.
Tells Thrilling Tales
In phrases that conjure up the
Iong-gone days of six-shooters,
cattle rustlers and Indian mas
sacres, Miller recalls experiences
that are terrifying to today's
youth, but matter of-fact to him.
Ht was in Yankton, now a part
Of South Dakota but then a wide
open boom town in the old Da-
kota Territory, he reminisces,
that he barely escaped being fed
to the flames by gaudily painted,
yelling savages.

Sitting Bulls Death
Among Big Events
He Has Covered

the first story giving the truth
about the death of Sitting Bull.
He still possesses a yellowed
clipping of the article, which
states that the famous Indian
chief was murdered. On the
basis of this news, Congress or
dered an investigation into the
tragedy.
Aided Ina Claire
But escaping from redskins
and getting news are not his only
accomplishments. He was the
person who brought out Ina
Claire, the noted actress, by get
ting her publicity and help when
she was a child prodigy" in
Washington.
He is also we'll known in print
ing circles, having been chief of
the plate vault section of the
Government Printing office for
many years. While editing publ
cations for the Treasury Depart
ment six years ago, he retired
after 35 years as a Federal en-
ploye.
Born in Ohio in the Sixties, he
was taken West by his father
few years later. In 1893 he mar
ried Mary Ellen Kennedy, of Vir-
ginia. They have two sons. One,
Nelson A. Miller, is business
specialist with the Department Of
Commerce. The other, Grant. Mil
ler, is a machine operator with
the Government Printing Office.
The Washington times., 1933-10-17

He was then about IL years
old. With five or six young COM
panionS, he stumbled upon a
band of redskins bathing in a
river. To be observed naked by
"pale faces" was to the Indians
a mortal insult.
They gave chase. Howling with
frenzy, they caught Miller, tied
him to stake, and began bring
ing fagots for a blaze.
But the other boys fled to give
warning. At the last moment,
the town marshal of Yankton
rode up. and Miller was saved.
Story of Massacre

York received the news of the
massacre by the Sioux of Maj.

officers, soldiers and civilians in
the battle of the Little Big Horn.
Miller was once a reporter on
the Bismarck Tribune, pioneer

$4,000, 900 U. S. Tax
Faces Dairy Farmers
BY International News Service

By International News Service
Secretary of Agriculture Wal.
lace today took under advisement
formal proposal that dairy
farmers be taxed $3O,0OO,O00 an.
nually to remove butter surpluses
held by professors.
The proposal, urged by process.
ing groups and cooperative
vreamery organizations at a pub.
lie hearing, raised important is
sues involving interpretations Of
the farm marketing act.
Before the proposed / cent per
pound levy on butterfat could be
assessed directly against the pro-
ducer. farm adjustment experts
pointed out, he would have to be
classified as a milk professor.
Doubt existed whether such a
classification would be upheld by
the courts.
The supplementary proposal Of
the butter manufacturing in
terests that $1O,000,000 to $15,-
100000 of the processing tax be
used to buy butter now held in
storage raised another knotty
legal question.
The original farm marketing
bill provided that all money from
processing taxes should be paid
as benefits to the producer. At
the last minute, language was
added permitting use of the tax
funds in part to remove crop sur.
pluses.

BUTTER,CATTLE
PURCHASES
BEGIN
Hopkins, Relief Chief, Finds
Needy Still Lack Enoug
Of These Food Stocks
BY International News Service

BY international News Service
Immediate purchases from the
country's surplus beef cattle and
butter stocks to check falling
prices and to build up the food
supplies of the unemployed this
winter were launched today.
Average beef cattle prices
dropped from 1897 per 100 pounds
in July to 1851 in August, with a
glut approaching due to lower
grades of cattle being sent to mar.
ket as result of economic condi.
tionS.
More Supplies Needed
Harry L. Hopkins, Relief Admin.
istrator, declared:
NEEDY people on our relief
rolls have not been supplied with
nearly enough meat and butter,
while dairy cattle and hog grow.
ers are suffering from poor mar.
kets."
The livestock purchases were
sought with approval of the Ma.
tional Livestock Association. The
entire program was developed
jointly between Hopkins and
George Peek, Agricultural Adjust
ment Administrator.
The Treasury approved $10,00O,-
900 for the purpose, with the
whole program to cost $4,000. 900,
of which part will come from
processing taxes. Hopkins indi-
Gated he would seek these taxes on
beef.
Plans Considered
The surplus telief corporation
recently formed to handle this
matter has b-fore it several plans:
l. A moderate compensatory
tax on beef, offSetting the pro-
posed processing tax on hogs,
which will finance the corn-hog
program now being worked out.
2. A marketing agreement to
increase the price of high-grade
steers, with provision for cer-
tain funds to purchase lower
grades of stock.
Part of the processing tax on
butter will be used to help
farmers control dairy produc.
ton.

GROUP
To MAKE BANK
AID LEN|ENT
Cummings Expects Plan Will
Reach Majority of 5000
Solvent Institutions
BY International News Service

Every effort to hold to a
minimum the number of non.
member banks unable to qualify
for admission to the Federal
Insurance Deposit Corporation
will be made by Walter J. Cum,
mings, chairman of the board of
the organization.
Officials said today they did
not anticipate all of the 5000
nonmember institutions would be
able to quality. However, a great
majority of the banks should
come into the fold, according to
preliminary reports.
Cooperate With States
Agents of the corporation are
cooperating with the State bank
ing authorities in examining the
banks. Several thousand already
have filed applications for mem
bership. The corporation requires
a certificate of solvency from the
State banking authority before
admitting a nonmember institu-
tion.
Solvency, rather than liquidity,
will be the test of admission.
Acting through the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation and the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
the Government hopes to CO.
operate with the State banks so
they may be placed in a position
of financial eligibility for the
guarantee corporation.
r. F. C. to Make Loans
The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation is prepared to make
loans to the banks on the basis
of their sloW-moving although
sound assets or make purchases
of preferred stock to build up the
capital structure.
Nonmember banks holding real
estate mortgages on residential
property of valuation of $40, 1000
or less may exchange the mort
cages for Home Owners Loan
bonds, which in turn may be
pledged with the R. F. C. for
loans.
After January 1 it was antici-
pated that banks could not re-
main open for any length Of time
unless they are members of the
insurance fund. From January l
to July l bank deposits are guar
anteed by the insurance fund up
to $4,000. After July /, when per
manent features of the act are
applicable. the guarantee is on
a graduated basis.
