DEATH KISS
MAY BE FATAL

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 5. W.P -
A woman's death kiss" for Ter
husband just before he died with
rabies threatened her own life to-
day.
The kiss was implanted by Mrs.
Petty June Ross after she realized
her husband, who had been bitten
on the thumb by dog infected
with rabies, could not live. She is
being treated for the same disease.
Mrs. Ross was so nervous with
the realization that she might be
infected, and distraught over her
husbands death, that doctors fear
ed to continue treatment and sent
her home today in an effort to calm
her. Physicians said that the Pas
teur treatment was dangerous TO
one in such a condition.

fourth largest harvest in history

NAVY PLANES
PLANNING FOR
OCEAN FLIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5. U.P)-
Twelfth district naval headquarters
today practically completed prepar-
ations for reception of six navy
seaplanes, which will land in Para
disc Cove. on San Francisco bay,
January 10 for a mass flight to
Honolulu.
Gasoline and other supplies was
being placed aboard the navy tug
Gannett at Mare Island. The Can
nett was named "mother Ship to
the planes ard the personnel of %
officers and men.
Surface craft will be kept out of
the Paradise Cove area after the
planes arrive there-probably on
next wednesday, according to pres
ent naval plans. The coast guard
has been assigned to patrol duty.
Paradise Cove is an area of ex-
ceptionally smooth water on the
Marin county shore or San Fran
cisco bay. In the summer it Is pop
ular as an isolated summer resort.
During winter months, the spot Is
deserted with the exception OF a
watchman at the Paradise dance
and picnic pavilion and few iso-
lated cabin dWellers.
The navy selected the cove be-
cause scarcely ripple disturbs its
surface. Each plane, when ready
for the 2,1OO mile flight to the is
lands, will weigh approximately
10000 pounds. Paradise Cove, ac-
cording to aviators, gives the naval
aviators under Lieutenant Com
mander Knefler McGinnis, a six
mile stretcn OF water in which to
work. The actual takeoff place will
depend upon water and air condi-
tions at the time the start to Ha-
waii is ordered on January II.

Report Woodin
Slightly Better

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 5. U.P) -
William H. Woodin, who came
here one month ago today after
being granted a leave of absence
from his duties as secretary of
treasury, to recuperate from
throat ailment, was reported in
an improved condition this morn
ing.
The former cabinet official, who
resigned his post Jan. |, because
of his health, has been confined
to a sanitorium since Dec. 18. Dur
ing that time he has not been
allowed visitors and on a number
of occasions has suffered relapses
which caused much concern. How
ever, his physicians report he is
not critical at this time.
He came here to visit his son,
William H. Woodin, Jr., accompan-
led by his wife. Young Woodin,
who sometime ago suffered a heart
attack, is said to be enjoying the
best of health.

and not any other form of replen-
iShing the treasury. Thereby are
automatically eliminated from the
immediate money raising prospect
any printing press production of
treasury notes or any effort to deal
with a deficit through seizure of
federal reserve bank gold. Whether
Mr.. Roosevelt ever will authorize
the issue of $3,O00,000,000 of treas
ury notes as congress has author
lied him to do is problematical. The
seizure of federal reserve gold
SO soc, 100000 of it's believed to
be a definite part of Roosevelt pol
icy when the time comes.
The process of seizure would be
to call the gold into the treasury
prior to stabilization and to give in
exchange for it gold certificates at
the regular rate of $20.67 an ounce.
After stabiliZation the gold could be
withdrawn but at new Stabilization
value.
If the dollar were deprecated SO
per cent the new rate would be
$31.34 an ounce and persons pre-
senting gold certificates would re-
ceive for them only half as much
metal as they originally surrender
ed. But the number of dollars rep
resented by the gold obtained would
be the same. The government
would acquire full title to the re-
mainder of the gold which, in the
case of so per cent depreciation,
would be half of it and a net profit
of $500, 100000 for the treasury on
federal reserve gold alone.
Delay in approaching the urgent
deficit problem from this angle
arises from conditions in foreign
countries upon which the state de-
partment has given Mr.. Roosevelt
full reports. The disheartening
nature of these summaries of con-
ditions abroad was indicated in his
state of the nation statement that:
"Certain of our sister nations
find themselves so handicapped by
internal and other conditions that
they feel unable at this time to en-
ter into stabilization discussions
based on permanent and worldwide
objectives. -
Under such conditions the Pres
ident is unable to undertake per-
manent stabilization of the Ameri-
can dollar because he and his ad-
visers appear convinced that ulti-
mate stabilization of currency is
an international objective which
must be approached through agree
ment between nations.

els by July l. 1885. This would be just about the normal carryover that existed from 1922 to 1928, con- pared with nearly 400,000,000 bush els in 1883 when more than one half of the worlds surplus was stored in the United States.
 Thus, the intention to get rid of the surplus which has held down prices would be very nearly accom- plished-by the aid of nature and at the expense of thousands of farmers in drought -blighted areas.
 War on GrasshOppers
 First action of officials to meet the emergency has been to desig- nate 355 counties in 12 states where wheat conditions are the worst. Nearly 70 per cent of the farmers signing up to reduce acreage are in this area.
 The contracts require a farmer to plant at least 54 per cent of his base acreage in order to col lect his benefit check. In the desig- mated counties where seeding would be waste of time, the farmer may obtain a waiver on this require ment from his local control asso- citation.
 In that way, many farmers CO., operating with the AAA will have their benefit payments as a sort of crop insurance, even if the drought destroys their entire crop and they do not raise a grain of wheat To- tai benefit payments will total about $95 100000, of which $66, ,000,- : 900 already has gone out The re- mainder will go out this summer
 Drought also increases the hatch ing of grasshoppers, aggravating the farm menace. The government is shipping 50 carloads of poison bait each day into western areas where infestation is expected to be the worst, with the first shipments going to Montana and Idaho.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-05-31
By CARL c. CRANMER

' WASHINGTON, May 31.-- The twin scourges of mankind-drought and insects-threaten to wipe out crop prospects of thousands oi western farmers this year. Despite their merciless destruction, how ever, they may make the job of AAA easier and shorter.
 For the second consecutive year Nature may act more effectively than the government in forcing down the wheat surplus, while agri- cultural adjustment officials are pointing out tbat the drought may impress upon farmers the "crop in- surance" feature of AAA contracts in the future.
 The April crop report forecasts a harvest this year of 710,000,00O bushels. This would have been lar ger t1an the 527,0O0,O0O bushels raised last year when drought caus- ed one of the smallest clops in many years. But it would have been smaller than the 1928-32 aver age of 844,O00,000 bushels.
 No Famine Danger
 Now after month of dust storms and scorching weather in the wheat country. the crop report ing board forecasts a winter wheat crop of only 461 ,00O bushels, drop of one million bushels a day for a month for winter wheat alone, and the report does not take account of the greater damage that may have been caused since May 1.
 In the northwest as much as one fifth of the spring wheat seeding in some states is reported not yet done, while the drifting of soil has uncovered much seed already in the ground.
 But unlike old times, there is little danger of famine for the country as whole. With a spring wheat crop equal only to 1881, the
