NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Gov
ernment's estimates of the smallest
domestic grain crops in 80 years sent
cereal prices soaring today to the
limit of daily allowable price fluctua-
tions, but stock markets failed to
echo the bullish excitement in the
grain pit.
Wheat futures at Chicago Jump v 5
cents a bushel corn cents, oats
cents, barley cents and rye 5 cents.
In Winnipeg the wheat market, un-
restrained by a scent limit, swept
up for a gain of more than cents
bushel.
Cotton futures in New York pressed
forward to the highest prices record
ed since August, 1880, finishing with
gains Of 81 IS to Sl.80 bale in con-
tinuation Of an upward swing set IN
motion by the Governments low
acreage estimate last Monday. Rub
Der, silver and other commodities
recorded moderate gains. Late cotton
months sold above l3 cents pound.
Stock market traders were skeptical
of the bullish import of the advance
in grains and cotton, since the rise
was based chiefly on short crops. 1t
was feared the small yields would
raise the cost of living in the cities
and complicate recovery problems
Stocks turned dull and irregular af-
ter early flrmness. A few specialties
scored Sizable gains. National Lead
spurted to a new peak at 1852 share,
up about So, and held most of the
gain to the finish. Some silver stocks
were firm. Alcohol issues were heavy.
United States Government loans
continued to lead a creeping rise in
the bond market, several of them
touching record high prices for recent
years.

Morgenthau Letter
Outlaws Politics
At Treasury

Secretary of the Treasury Nor

Treasury employees resign either
their political party posts or sever
their relations with the Treasury
Department.
In a blunt letter addressed to
heads Of bureaus and divisions in
the department, Secretary Nor
genthau called for submission of
designations from political party
offices by September l. He said:
1T seems to me that the
holding Of any such political
party office is not compatible
with the public interest and
will hamper the officers or en-
plOye in the effective discharge
Of his Governmental duties.
"I wish, therefore, that you

Department requesting those
who hold such political party
offices to submit their resigna-
tiOns from such offices, to be

Morgenthau was not informed
as to the exact number Of Treas

cal offices, but believes the num-
ber is considerable. He recalled
that two weeks ago he directed
attention of department employees
to Federal statutes dealing with
political activity by Government
employees and the solicitation Of
contributions for political pur-
poses.
This action was prompted by
the discovery that in more than
one instance persons employed by
the Treasury either had violated
the law in this respect or had
committed acts which constituted
gross improperly in view of their
official positions. Disciplinary &C

Prince Half European;
Former D. C. Woman
Says 1t Isn't. So

Washington society thrilled
today with the rumor that the
Viscountess Furness-the former
Thelma Morgan Furness-is going
to marry Prince Ali Khan. son
and heir. to the fabulously
wealthy Aga Khan, reputed to
be one of the richest men in the
world.
The divorced wife of Lord Fur
ness, Thelma is the sister of Mrs.
Reggie Vanderbilt, the former
Gloria Morgan, and Of Mrs. Ben
jamin F. Thaw of Pittsburgh, the
former charming Connie Morgan.
She won her decree of divorce
from the wealthy shipping mag
nate last year on a charge of
misconduct, and was awarded the
custody of their 4-year-old son.
Before her wedding to the
nobleman she was granted a di-
vorce from James v. Converse, jr.
Following the divorce it was
rumored that she and sister
Gloria would appear in motion
pictures, and Thelma went so far
as to take a number of screen
tests.
Prince Ali is the son of one of
the most powerful rulers in the
world. His father, as a Moslem
prince of India, is ruler over
3O,O00,O 900 subjects, who pay him
an income of $10,0OO,0O0 a year
in addition to his own huge pri-
vate income.
Has Racing Stables
The Aga Khan is a widely
known sportsman, having great
racing stables, and one Of his
horses won the Derby! Another
won the Ascot gold cup today.
Prince Ali is half European,
his mother having been Signorina
Theresa Magliano, an italian of a
good family. She died several
years ago.
Although the Aga Khan was a
familiar figure in famous Euro
pean watering places and resorts
of the socially elect, he selected
his second wife from out Of .
shop.
In Aix-Les-Bains he found Mile.
Andree Josephine Carron selling
candy in a tiny shop. He fell in
love with her and they were mar
ried in 1929.
$5OO,OOO Diamond
A double service was held, civil
and religious in a Mosque, al
though the wife did not become
a member Of the MoSlem faith.
One of the Aga Khan's gifts to his
bride was a square cut diamond
valued at more than $500,O00.
While the rumor Of the impend-
ing marriage went the rounds
here, dispatches from London
quoted Lady Furness as emphat-
cally denying the engagement. She
said:
"I have no thought Of marry.

now. There is no reason for such
