LONG DR0UTH
But u. S. Has Ample Sup
ply of Wheat if This
Years Crop Fails

CHICAGO June 1.-UP).-
Prospects of major crop failure
over quarter of the nation
grew last night as the middle west
sweltered in mountaineering tenn
peratures.
The mercury registered 105 in
st, Paul, an all-time record; Ill
in Lamont, Ia, and from 100 to
ITO in many other places. Cloud
less skies offered little hope of re-
lief.
All-time and May heat records
were established in many places.
The mercury registered 1868 in
St. Paul, an all-time record; 100
in Hager City, Wis; Ill in La
moni, Ia; los at Freeport, ILL.,;
1O5 in Alexander, Mimi, and
more than 100 in. many other
cities.
Chicago and Oklahoma City set
new all-time May marks with tent
peratures of 90 and 98.3 respec-
lively. Other temperatures in
cluded: Des Moines, 10l; Kansas
City, IOl; Lincoln, Nebr, 102
and Dallas, 81. The official fore
cast was for generally continued
hot and dry.
Fast-fading hopes of wheat

board of trade to the highest level
in nearly a year. July wheat sold

the maximum allowed for one
day.
The fertile plains of the upper
Mississippi Valley lay barren, eX-
cept for parched and withered
vegetation. The worst drought in
more than SO years wrung the last
drop of moisture from the dusty
soil of a dozen states.
WASHINGTON, June !. (UP)
Plenty of bread for everyone and
some to spare is assured even
though the drought in the wheat
belt continues undated through
the growing season.
Agricultural adjustment Off
Gals estimated last night that at
the very worst, the wheat harvest
should be 65,000,000 bushels. In
addition, they figured the carry
over of old wheat on July /, start
of the new marketing year, would
be 26O,000,O00 bushels. -
This would give minimum to-
tai supply Of S25.000,000 bushels
despite the drought. Average con-
sumption is 750,0C0,000 bushels
annually.
Even though wheat prices are
climbing steadily. Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture Rexford Tug
well said there was little chance
of reducing the present process
ing tax Of 80 cents bushel. The
parity" price of p wheat-the
amount the AAA calculates the
farmer deserves-is, $1.06 per
bushel at the farm. That means a
price of from $3.50 to $l.25 at
Chicago.
AAA officials view the recent
rise as due almost entirely to the
drought. Tugwell said wheat quo
tations would have to hold at
parity levels for a considerable
period before elimination or re-
duction of the tax would be con-
sidered. Proceeds of the tax are
used to pay benefits to farmers
for curtailing acreage.
Both because Of the necessity
shown by the drought for main
tanning a sizeable wheat surplus
in the nations granaries and the
rather dismal prospects of world
wheat control, officials are giving
little consideration to further cur
tailment of u. S. acreage.

mittee Of three experts appointed by

He explained to them the differ
ences of opinion regarding locating
the hospital, which the Commission
ers and leading citizens of the Dis
trict have contended should be at
Glenn Dale, Md, already bought and
paid for out of local tax funds as the
site of proposed tuberculosis treat
ment center.

mittee, headed by DR.. Lawrason Brown
of Saranac Lake, N. Y, to go out to-

so or 20 miles of Washington pre-
viously visited by the Commissioners

bers are Col. C. D. Buck of Fitzsim-
mons General Hospital, Denver. Colo,

the medical division of the Veterans

not know how long it would take the
committee to make its report and
added that he could not comment on
the situation in advance Of 1t. He
did not know which sites the COM
mittee would first visit, but it was
supposed they would go either first to
Glenn Dale or to four sites tentatively
reserved by Commissioner Hazen in
the Shenandoah Valley.
DR.. Brown, chairman of the Medi-
cal Committee. is Well known to the
President, who presented his name to
Secretary Ickes as one of the mem
bers of the committee. Mr.. Ickes, it

BUSINESS SUCCESS
ASSURED BY ROPER
Secretary of Commerce
Also Answers Critics in
Radio Address,.

In a speech interpreted as having
the twofold aim of reassuring busi-
ness and answering critics of govern
mental economic policies, Secretary
of Commerce Roper last night de-
clared that the Roosevelt admins
tration believes in just profits for
management and capital and an
equitable return to labor"
Roper spoke in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Star and
broadcast over a Nation wide chain
of the National Broadcasting Co.
Added interest was lent to his ad-
dress because it coincided with admin
istration plans for reorganizing the
National Recovery Administration on
permanent basis. es'sr
Business Declared on Upgrade.
Roper said that business is def
nitely on the upgrade and added that
private enterprise is showing such
initiative in getting back on its own
lieving the Federal Government OF
responsibilities which under normal
conditions belong to business"
The Commerce Secretary devoted a
large portion of his speech to obser-
vation on recent trip to Alaska and
on the return journey across the
United States.
The drought, he said, had halted
the upward move of business, but
that despite this conditions are un-
mistakably better.
IF business courage were equal to
the business statistics we would be
in need of controlling a real business
BOOM" he declared.
Answers Critics.
Obviously answering critics, Roper
asserted that developments following
in the wake of the depression had
convinced all thinking people that
certain fundamental reforms were
necessary if the American system of
business, society and government was
to be maintained"
Then he amplified:
ITO the business men of our coun-
try, let me say that our Government
and the masses of our people them
selves resent unthinking statements

DETROIT, August 23.-Delegates to
the fifty-second supreme convention
of the knights of Columbus today
voted to modify the rule which for
40 years has barred from membership
any one engaged in the manufacture

That resolution was the first adopted
in the closing business session. Other
resolutions, two of them dealing with
the campaign against salacious motion
pictures and Communistic activities,
still awaited final consideration.
Under the revised rules, persons en-
gagged in the sale of liquor or beer in
sealed containers, for use of the
premises, become eligible for mem
bership, but manufacturers and ven-
doris Of alcoholic drinks by the glass
still are barred
