DEAL HE SAYS
Would Not Overthrow It;
Flags Destruction Of
Food, Materials

MERIDIAN, Idaho, Aug. TO-
(UP).-Senator VIM. E. Borah,
Idaho's Progressive Republican
and severe critic of the present
administration, last night declared
he does not seek to overthrow the
"new deal" ..
He merely wants to purge it
of errors" he said.
Speaking before farmer au-
dience he said antitrust laws
should be restored and enforced.
He also attacked bureaucratic
control and monopolistic business
combines" as they affect the
farmer.
Borah deefied proposed extern
sion of AAA provisions which
would give the secretary OF agri,,
culture licensing power lover all
farmers operations"
Assailing failure of government
to curb those business powers
which raise prices of commodities
the farmer buys, Borah said:
"The president of the United
States is rarely gifted with a deep
and abiding sense of optimism. :,
"But the destruction of food
and the things of which clothing
is made, in the midst of millions
of hungry and ill clad men and
women is the last spasm OF pes
simism. =
"As I have understood his pro,
gram it was to bring more and
more of the things worthwhile to
the human family. Abundance is
the basis not only of human nap
piness but of progress, orderly
government, of civilization itself.
Scarcity is the basis of al
most every evil known to the hu-
man family - hunger, nakedness,
crime. I repeat, reduction is not
onlyseconomically unsound but IN
human"
Borah with vigor swung into
criticism of bureaucracy as it al
fected the farmer.
"There are many things" ne
said, (which the government can
do and should do to help recovery,
but l have never believed that in
order to bring about recovery it
is necessary to substitute bureau
cratic control of the individual in
itiative, the judgment, the discre-
, ton of citizens.
"Prices of farm implements
have been increased in recent
wears by over two hundred per
cent. I am now informed by. a
retail salesman that another IN
crease is anticipated, perhaps in
| October. You know perfectly well
| where your gains have gone. You

u. S. COLLEGE GIRLS
HELPED BLOCK REVOLT

GENEVA, Aug. 10.-(UP).-
Six U. S. college girls revealed
here yesterday how they unwit-
tingly helped Austria subdue the
Nazi rebellion last month.
They were in Vienna when the
trouble started, and on July 27
started by automobile for Spittal,
near the italian frontier. They
said they ran into Nazi bayonets
in the town of Gmund, in Syria
province, but were allowed to pro-
coed until they reached bridge
demolished by the Nazis between
Gmund and Spittal.
They rallied group of Czech
and Belgian tourists and rebuilt
the bridge, cleared roads of felled
trees for two miles-and made
possible a Nazi defeat by loyal
troops who hurried over the bridge
and surrounded the rebels.
The group is headed by jose
phine Burns, %, an instructor in
Mt. Holyoke college, Mt. Holyoke,
Mass. The others are Mary White,
of Evanston, ILL.,, just graduated
from Wellesley; Muriel Farnum,
Of Providence, R. l.; Elizabeth

just graduated from Mt. Holyoke;
and Vivienne Espeut, of Passaic,
N. j., and Betty Buenting, Pitts
burgh, both Mt. Holyoke students.

at the delay, and never realized
until afterward that we were in
the midst of a revolution and
might have been hurt"

GRAIN PRICES,
Heat CLIMB TO
new LEVELS
New Heat Waves Continue
to Simmer Over the
Plains States
NO RELIEF In SIGHT
FROM DROUTH, SAID

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-CUP).-
Temperatures and grain prices
climbed to record highs yesterday
as new waves of heat simmered
over baked plains of the midwest
,and made tragic additions to the
1884 loss of a thousand lives and
FIVE billion dollars damage.
In almost a dozen states with
in the blistered territory, tenn
peratures climbed to marks high
Ter than 100. In several places,
records of 10S and higher were
set.
Farmers and grain experts saw
this new day of heat-when cool
er weather had been expected in
many places-as a final blow to
their hopes for the season.
Despite other factors which
normally would have depressed
the market, corn prices climbed
to the highest point in four years
and Wheat scared to new high
for this season. May corn went
to 81 IA cents; May wheat to
$1.16 So.
Loss of life was terrific. Doz-
ems of deaths were attributed to
the heat. The total life toll for
the season neared LOO. In adj
dition to these, there were hun
dreds of deaths which were caused
by diseases but in which the heat
was a contributing factor.
. Hope for relief from the heat
was held out for today in some
sections, but no real relief from
the drouth was in sight anywhere.
Grain experts said that even a
series of soaking rains couldn't do
much good now except perhaps to
get the fields ready for next year.
One of the days most alarming
reports came from R. o. Crom-
we'll, Chicago grain expert, who
said that the prospective corn out
put for Iowa has been reduced
45,OOO,OOO bushels since Aug. l,
when he estimated that the total
state crop would be only 229, OOO,-
900 bushels.

CROP TO HIT
LEVEL OF 1898
Formal Report Will Be Re-

This Afternoon !!
,
OATS CROP WILL BE
THE SMALLEST KNOWN


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (UPC
Half a million federal crop re-
porters wrote the gloomy story Of
drouth toll today in terms Of
bushels. tons and pounds.
A crop report, graphically illus
trating the three-months' pillage
of the nations worst druoth, esti-
mated to have stolen $5,000,000,-
600 from American farmers, will
be released at 8 p. m.
It was expected to show:
The smallest corn crop since
1901.
The smallest wheat crop since
1898.
The smallest oats crop on rec
ord.
The July 1 department of ag-
riculture production estimate re-
ported unprecedentedly bad con-
ditions but another month of UNI
abated drouth estimates to new
low levels. A month ago the fol-
lowing were Indicated:
A wheat crop totaling only
84,OO0,0OO bushels-the least in
40 years; yields of all crops l3 to
Is per cent below the average
during the past Is years; total
acreage of field crops harvested
the lowest in Is years; oats, bar
lev, rye and fax crops smallest
in 80 years and more; hay pro-
duction 90 per cent lower than in
any previous season.
Conditions subsequently have
become worse. Undersecretary of
Agriculture Rexford G. Tugwell
said this was 'one of the worst
years in the annals of agricul-
ture."
Anticipating the worst possible
news from the crop reporting
board, officials of the agricultural
adjustment administration fash
toned Its plans for next year with
crossed fingers. 1t is unwilling to
base its programs on abnormal
ties but is afraid to take chance
that normal weather conditions
will return.
Many students of weather cy-
Giles believe this to be the end of
a 25-year dry era. Secretary Of
Henry A. Wallace
said, however, that he had little
confidence in long-range forecasts
and would not approve produc-
ton control programs based on
the assumption of normal or
bumper years.

US. Savings&
Loan Assn. Is
Formed Here
u S. Treasury Will Pay in So for Every 81 Invested
Locally as Aid to Home Buying, Building and Re-
modeIing-New Institution Starts With 80 Share
holders and Available Capital Of Approximately
$l3,500

The First Federal Savings &
Loan Association of Henderson
vile was organized last night UNI
der a charter granted by the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank board of
Washington, D. c., based on pro-
visions of the Federal Home Own
ers' Loan Act of 1888.
The association will promote
thrift and encourage home owner
ship, and will be companion in
stitution to the Hendersonville
Building & Loan association.
There are 3S original sharehold-
ers with $2640 ready to be paid
in, and because of its member
ship in the Federal Home Loan
Bank the association will be in
position to call on the United
States treasury for an additional
investment in full-paid income
shares, making available for
loans about $13,500. Under the
1888 act the U. S. treasury in
vests So for each 81 invested To-
cally, and in addition the local
association can use its credit to
secure additional funds from the
Home Loan Bank of Winston
Salem.
D. H. Lee, secretary-treasurer
of the local association. said last
night that the required subscrip-
tons of $500 to secure a char
ter were over-subscribed in a few
hours of solicitation, and al
though the details of organization
are not yet fully completed the
books of the association are open
for subscriptions. AS rapidly as
local funds are obtained by sale
of shares the association can cal
on the federal treasury for add
tional investments in the shares
of the local institution. In max
ing these share subscriptions, the
federal government accepts the
same rate of dividends paid local
shareholders and is not preferred
in any way.
Shareholders present at the or,
ganization meeting last night
were optimistic over the pros
poets of bringing in large sum
of government money to assist in
home purchasing, building, re-
modelling, ETC., and to encourage
thrift in other ways. The asso;,
citation will issue four classes OF
shares: % installment thrift
shares, (2) optional saving shares.
prepaid shares, and (4) full paid
income shares. 1t will specialize
in the direct reduction plan OF
loans at 6 per cent interest, with
one-half of one per cent a month
as the accepted method OF
amortizing loans. Under this plan,
loans would be retired in approx:
mately IL years. Borrowers and
investors do not pay a member
shin fee in the association.
Seven members of the board OF
directors of the Hendersonville
Building & Loan association were
elected to the board of the new
association, and five members
were chosen from other share
holders. Officers elected by the
directors are: T. l.. Durham, pres
