OF IRRIGATION
Marginal Farming To Be
Abandoned on Millions
of Midwest Acres

WASHINGTON, July 81. CUP
Marginal farming on millions OF
acres in the drouth-stricken farm
belt virtually is a thing of the
past, Reclamation Commissioner
Elwood Meade said last night, as
the weather bureau reported wes'
tern rivers reached the lowest lev
els in rs years. -.
At the same time, Secretary OF
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace an
nounced that the AAA may pur,,
chase as many as 100000 head
of cattle in its efforts to relleVe
the drouth-stricken ranchers, with
purchase of at least 100000 ap-
bearing to be almost certain.
Wallace said he hoped to speea
up processing machinery so tnaV
weekly purchases could be IN,
creased to about 100000, instead
of the 10000 now being bought.
Mead, just returned from an
inspection tour of western farm
areas, said he is convinced irriga-
ton must be undertaken or 81,
gantic scale as the only practlcal
solution of the farmers problems,
and that much marginal land east
of the Rockies, particularly in the
Dakotas, no longer is serviceable
for farms. :,
He said he was we'll pleased,
however, with several of the re-
clamation bureaus projects, espe,.
cially the Belle Frouche proJect
in South Dakota, the Rlvert0n
project in Wyoming and the
Grand Coulee project on the TO-
lumbia river.
The weather bureau reported
that in the history of the bureau
"never has there been such gen
eral drying up of streams IN July
from the Rocky mountains to inc
Appalachians."

WASHINGTON, July 81. (UP)
Leaderless and punctuated by IN
ternal strife, the NRA last night
appeared to be hopelessly involved
in a stubborn battle involving the
federal courts, the blue eagle ana
$1,250,000.
The controversy began several
DAYS ago when Federal Judge Will
liam c. Coleman in Baltimore
Md, upheld an order restraining
the government from depriving
L. Grief & Bros, clothing manu-
facturers, of their blue eagle.
The emblem was ordered con-
fiscated when the manufacturers
declined to comply with instruc-
tions by the code authority OF the
industry to raise minimum wages
above the figure specified in their
code.
In passing on the restraining
order, Judge Coleman severely
criticized the government for
"pettifogging" and for "evading
the basic questions raised"
A series of rapid developments
within "a hours accumulated the
Importance of the controversy and
brought into sharp relief the ab.
sence of the smooth strategy OIL
two of NRA's master minds-Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. Johnson and
Chief Counsel Donald K. Rlch-
berg-both away on vacation.
Fuel to the controversy was
added Wednesday night when the
NRA ordered the mems clothing
code authority to withhold blue
eagle labels from the Grief COM
pany.
The firm struck back yesterday:
Leonard Weinberg, counsel, SAID
his client would continue to man
ufacture clothing and "to deliver
all orders that it receives and the
garments will contain NRA Ia
bels.n He contended the COM
many was authorized to use the
labels as a result of Judge Cole
mans decision.
Officials of the company point
ed out that elimination of the
blue eagle label would endanger
orders for $4,000 garments worth
S1,25O,OOO, and would jeopardize
Jobs of 1000 workers in the COM
pany's 10 plants in Maryland and
Pennsylvania.
Immediately upon hearing of
the company's defiance, A. G. Nc
Night, NRA litigation chief, warn
ed that action would be taken
against the firms officials If the
MIRA label order was ignored.
Because this is the first time
that a company has openly defed
the recovery administration in
connection with the blue eagle,
Midnight was not prepared to say
what course would be resorted to
in obtaining a decision.
Meantime, the loss of the blue
eagle faced three companies OPP

a curve so feet away, the north
bound freight Numbered, the
noise of its approach drowned by
the other train.
Fireman John Ray of the
southbound freight saw the chill
dren's danger as his locomotive
passed them.
He yr shouted warnings and
threw several cups of water on
them to attract their attention
They thought it was a joke how.
ever and playfully returned his
fire with stones.
The northbound train was up
on the youngsters before they
could scramble down the 40-foot
embankment. 1t was not known
if they were crushed between
the two trains or struck directly
by the northbound freight. Both
were spattered with blood. the
tracks strewn with mangled bodies
The accident happened direct
" across from the Yale boat
house, attaches of which sent the
first call for help.
Ambulances from all nearby
hospitals were sent to the scene

minutes, dying near the track

Deaths In MidwestHeat Wave Pass
800 Mark, Drouth Not Yet Broken
Kansas and Nebraska Farm Crop Losses Run as High
as IS Per Cent of Normal
; BY DAN ROGERS
United Press Staff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July ~.
(UP).-The calamitous midwes-
tern drought is not broken. But
rumblings of distant thunder,
scudding clouds and fitful gusts
of wind heartened suffering hu-
manity.
Area of the drouth has been
Iessened. Sweltering temperatures
slid down into the upper COS yes
terday, an average of 10 degrees
below Wednesday. But oppres..
sive heat, sizzling pavements and
scared fields prevailed over most
of a half-dozen states.
Downpours only will bring real
relief. They are yet to come.
Scattered showers, amounting
to rains in some instances, made
living more bearable. The death
toll had been checked, but not
halted.
st. Louis reported 81 deaths
since Wednesday night from heat.
Other deaths attributed to heat
ran the total of human victims of
the current heat wave past 800.
Thousands of head of livestock
have died of famine or thirst.
Condition of this still living was
pitiable. Damage to stock and to
crops run into many millions.
Texas was bright spot. Heavy
rains accompanying the gulf hur-
ricane came too late to help cot
ton, but were of great benefit to
cattle and feed crops.
Missouri crops were burned up.
st. Louis county loss was estlmat-
ed at 100000. Central Mis-
souri, agriculturists were in even
worse shape. Kansas and Ne
braska crop losses run as high as
rs per cent in some localities.
Oklahoma is almost as bad.
The federal government yester-
day allotted S1,000,000 for drouth
relief in Kansas, apportioned
100000 to Missouri.
Last night, rain was falling over
a large part of Nebraska, and IN
western Missouri. 1t came, in
squalls, however, and total pre-
cipitation was light.

VIENNA, July 27.-(UP).-
Austrian Nazis fought for surviv.
al in civil war with the Fascist
government today on scattered
fronts, realizing that failure was
their death sentence.
Fighting, centering in the south
ern provinces of Syria and Carin-

ruary socialist uprising.
Artillery, machinegun and rifle
fire took increasing toll through
out the night and at 8 a. m. it
appeared the dead would reach
$50.
The Nazis' uprising, ignited by
their assassination of Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss Wednesday,
had the desperate quality OF q
last ditch stand with members OF
the outlawed organization realiz.
ing that almost certain death
awaits them through the ali.pow-
erful, life and death military
court.

Rudiper Won Starhemberg prose-
cuted the campaign of uprooting

the regular army and his own

ince: and in Radkersburg, Juden-
berg and Knittelfeld, all in Syria.
The heaviest fighting Carinthia
conferred at the railway station in
Bleiberg, just across the Jugoslay
border. The Nazis surrendered
only when artillery was turned on
! them.
Equipment Of the rebels sur.
prised The government forces. The
Nazis were well supplied with ma
chine guns and rifles.

troops were killed in upper Syria.
