Thomas Hart Benton Claims Best Cross Section of Life
 Seen in Small Town Court Room

JeKerson City, Mo. (UP).- Thomas Hart Benton, Ozark artist nomminsioned to embellish walls of the state capitol with typical Mis- ssurf scenes, believes the best cr6ss-section of life in the state is obtainable in the smail-town court room.
 Benton, after observing that country courtrooms are crowded with spectators, resolved to paint a Missouri court room scene.
 ..Tt may be in the state capitol, hut I don't know. Anyway, l shall naint it somewhere, for nothing Is more typical of Missouri than the average court room audience" he declared.
 The Middle West, Benton says, sa tha "center of things" He went further to assert that the best art Sa developed in this section. He aid that the only American artists recognized in Europe are Grant Wood, Curry and l." Curry IS rom Yansas, Wood from Iowa ana Benton from Missouri.
 Grand Nephew of Senator
 As candid and outspoken as the nery Missouri senator of the pre- ceding century, Thomas Hart Ben ton, a grand uncle of the artist, the ozarkian parked an answer to q question of why people do not buy more pictures.
 s.Pictures are insanely hign priced because their artistic value has no connection with their mrrket value. The matter is not between artists and art lovers. but between agents and art dealers" }" he said.
 Persons of average means do the right thing when they pass up pie lures to invest in automobiles. Benton believes. There's more pleasure in owning an automobile than a picture hanging lifeless on the wall.
 "Moreover, a picture might be disturbing. Sometimes the best pictures are hard to live with"

Moscow (UP)-In 1895, the total area under cotton in the So. viet attained 5,716,211 acres, while during the Czarist regime this fig- uro was only 1,400,048 acres.
 Rotation of crops largely is practiced. The collective and state farms cultivatinS cotton have been successful in growing long-fiber cotton. Cotton is being successful ly cultivated in many new regions, sush as the Ukraine, North Cau- caJus, Crimea, along the shores of the Azov and Black Sea, as well as in the region of the Lower Volga.
 Leading Soviet scientists are studying cotton growing. Two In- stitItes1 for Scientific Research have been opened.
 This spring cotton sowing was well organized. Collective farms of the principal cotton-growing regious completed sowing from 15 to 20 days earlier than last year.
 So far this year 52 new cotton machine and tractor stations have been opened. At these stations the cotton plantations are worked by the most up-to-date agricultural machines. In the cotton districts of the entire Soviet there are ACT machine and tractor stations.

Schacht, in Hard Training on Gags,
Threatens to Be as Funny as Ever.
BY JOHN LARDNER

He admitted he never was in better
shape.
Expects Several More Years as Clown.
I'VE been living right. eating and
sleeping a lot" said Al. II fig
ure I have several more years of
funny stuff in my system before they
waive me out of the league or trade
me to some class c vaudeville act.
Keep an eye on me out there today.
I'm gonna panic EN-"
MIR. Schacht went straight
through the routine. At third
base he wore battered top hat
and q swallowtail coat over his
uniform.
He did the phoney ball gag. fun
bling one ball and throwing another
to first. He did the tightrope gag,
walking along the third base line.
Then he moved to the pitchers box
and did the conference -with-the-
catcher gag, the signal gag, the slow
motion gag and the strip tease. He
was in Midsummer form.
As an added attraction Mr.. Schacht
broadcast the first inning Of the
game that day over microphone.
He called a one-minute pause for
the playing of ''Tfe Star Spangled
Banner" which was not played. He
told the audience that 100000 people
had stayed away from the game. He
made a few mistakes, a la McNamee.
He wound up the broadcast by re-
porting q play of Max Bishops at
second.
"This is sensational, folks,
sensational" shouted AL at the
microphone. Bishop moved
clear over to his own POSITION
to stop that one and save the
day for Boston"
The tourists went home that day
with a soft spot in their hearts for
Mr.. Schacht. They said he was faI
more entertaining than Joe, the
orang- -outang over at the circus. He
was more dependable and more nearly
human. They did not appreciate
however, the weeks of effort which
have gone into Mr.. Schacht's routine
or the quiet, tireless encouragement
he has received from himself. Youl
correspondent, after looking him over
believes that Mr.. Schacht will be a.
funny as ever this year.

DERHAPS you never stopped to
think about the care and training
Of a base ball comedian. It's very
important. When AL Schacht came
to camp this Spring, for instance, ne
was out of shape The muscles OF MS
face had stiffened during the Winter
He was slow on his feet. Ills
schnozzle seemed smaller.
He couldn't get a laugh from
the ball players. He couldn't
get a laugh from himself, which
Is a dangerous sign with Al.
But after a rundown and several
hours of intense practice, Mr.. Schacht
began to round into form. He tooE
things easily, working on one gag q
day. Manager Cronin then proceeded
to add pressure, until Al was ready tc
rehearse his whole routine before ar
audience without risk to the muscles
of his arms and legs.
This will be Mr.. Schacht's first veal
as a solo comic, you know. At Wash
ington he worked with Nick Altrock
The team Of Schacht and Altrock wa.
favorite for years, with itself anc
the fans. The stunt I liked best ir
their repertoire was the rainy day
stunt, in which Schacht and Altrocl
produced a raft and attempted to row
from first base to second.
This year the team split. Mr.
Schacht going to Boston with Jot
Cronin. He is retaining most of The
original Schacht-Altrock gags, but HI
uses new stooges and new equipment
Just now his biggest problem is tt

training two catchers, on the theor!
that one of them might be fired OF
