GAS LEAK F|RE|MRS. REYNOLDS
KILLS2, HUR7S4 STILL IN COMA

SAN FRANCISCO, July II
G.N.SO.-Mrs. Georgia Barmon
Reynolds, daughter of prominent
New York family and beautiful
blonde bride of Arthur Reynolds,
jr., 81, son of a wealthy Chicago
and San Francisco Banker, was
recovering consciousness today
after So hours in death-like coma
from an overdose of Sedative
which also nearly brought death
to her husband.
A nurse at San Francisco Hos
pital. where Mrs. Reynolds is un-
der an oxygen tent, reported:
Her condition is slightly i'm
proved this morning. She shows
signs Of returning conscious
ness but we can't understand
what she is trying to say"
Young Reynolds, who recovered
yesterday afternoon from an over
dose of the same powerful Sedative,
nervously paced the hospital cor
rider.
Although near exhaustion, he
was unable to sleep-the reason,
he said, why he and his bride of
three weeks took the sedative.
He scorned the first police
theory of a suicide pact, advanced
by officers after the young couple
was found drugged in their modest
apartment here.

PRICES TO RISE
WITH SCARCITY
OF FOOD
Milk, Fruits, Grain
Hardest Hit by
Dry Spell
BY L. w. MEREDITH
international News Service

AHBSEHhVAOAldA N0"S COANACO
A loss of more than $3.50, 100000
already has been sustained by
farmers, at current price levels,
from drought crop damage.
Added to the losses-which come
back to the consumer in the shape
Of advancing prices-are shortages
in fruits because of the long severe
winter which preceded the arid
summer.
Already the cry for advances in
prces to the consumer has been
sounded in the milk industry, be-
cause of the threatened pasture
and feed shortage.
OF all major grain, feed and
fruit crops covered by the Crop
Reporting Board of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. only three
show advances over the five-year
average of 1882, and only four
over last year-with a great uncer-
tainty hanging over the vast corn
belt.
Few Gains Shown
The crop summary as of July l
and 10 arid days have been
added over most of the country
since then-Showed increases over
last year only in wheat-14,95 900
bushels; rice, 1856, 900 bushels;
pears, 1,129,0O0 bushels and sugar
beets, 911,000 short tons.
Only alfalfa, with 1884, 900 more
tons; pears, with $4,000 bushels,
and sugar beets, with 701 900 tons,
showed advances over the 1882
five-year average.
AS compared with the 1928-32
average, the percentage of losses
for all principal grain, feed and
fruit crops revealed in the crop
report were:
Corn IL per cent, all wheat, 26,
winter wheat, II, spring wheat,
IT., oats, SO, barley, 20, rice, /,
hay, 10, apples, SO, peaches, q,
grapes, 20, potatoes, is, sweet
potatoes, 4, tobacco, %, hops, 4,
dry beans, l.
Milk production showed a loss
Of 8 to S per cent.
$246,OOO,OOO Corn Loss
At current price levels, losses
sustained by farmers because Of
the drought, as based on the
boards report, have been:
Corn, $246,872 900; wheat, $24,-
768, 900; oats, $155, 679, 900; barley,
$69, 822, 900; hay, $143, 725, 900; po-
tatoes, $56,756,000; tobacco, $685.
$50, 1000; sweet, potatoes $2,560, 900.
The worst losses so far have
been in the Dakotas, according to
the report, which indicated that
North Dakota will have only an
10 per cent yield of corn and
barley, as compared to the five
year average; a 20 per cent oats
yield; 81 per cent durum wheat;
70 per cent other spring wheat; "a
per cent rye; 40 per cent hay, and
IS per cent potatoes.
South Dakota's outlook is for
only a per cent durum wheat
yield, as compared to the five
year average; 18 per cent barley;
20 per cent oats and spring
wheat other than durum; So per
cent corn; AZ per cent rye; 81
per cent winter wheat; 48 per
cent hay, and IS per cent po-
tatoeS.
Montana Hard Hit
Montana's crop outlook, on the
same basis, is for durum wheat.
"a per cent; corn, So per cent;
barley, AZ; rye, So; hay. SO; oats,
So, and winter wheat, 80 per
cent.
Wyoming's crop prospects are
for a 40 per cent corn crop: As per
cent barley; 81 per cent oats; 81
per cent winter wheat; SO per cent
spring wheat; 81 per cent rye, and
IS per cent potatoes.
Minnesota thus far has been
hard hit only on durum wheat,
with only So per cent crop in
prospect.

Inter-American Peace Conference
Will Open Dec, In Buenos Aires

to replace Latin American partici,
patton in the Geneva League OF
Nations, is the prediction of DR.
Roland D. Hussey, professor OF
history at the University of Cali
fornia.
DR.. Hussey, who specializes in
Latin-American affairs does not
prophesy this will be the direct
and immediate result of the inter.
American conference to be held
at Buenos Aires this fall, but is
convinced that it will be a detl-
mite step in that direction.
More than 20 American nations
have accepted President Roose-
velt's invitation to attend the con-
ference, DR.. Hussey points out,
while to date half a dozen Latin
American nations have left the
Geneva organization. Others are
threatening to follow.
Latin American countries, &C
cording to DR.. Hussey, are losing
faith in the League of Nations,
principally owing to it's failure to
cope with the invasion by Japan
of Manchuria and Italy's conquest
of Ethiopia.

ENCOURAGED
BY PRIMARIES
Weakness of Kansas, Mis-
souri, Townsendites Chief
Significance
BY JOHN R. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. (UP)
Weakness of Townsend candidates
in Kansas and Missouri appears
to be the chief item Of national
significance resulting from Tues
days primaries in those states
and Virginia.
Both major parties found some
encouragement in the returns.
Kansas Republicans expected
final tabula lions to show a G. O..
P. total topping that of the DEM
ocrats. They interpreted this as a
swing away from President Roose-
welt, who carried the state by
$4,000 majority in 1882.
In Virginia, where the outcome
in November is not in doubt even
though her two senators have
been cold to administration poll
cies, New Deal strategists never
theless found satisfaction in the
fact that Norman R. Hamilton
was given the Democratic nomi-
nation for the house of represen-
tatives in the third district, de-
feating Representative Colgate
w. Darden, member of Senator
Harry Flood Byrd's organization.
Senator Carter Glass won renom-
ination without opposition.
Missouri endorsed Boss Tom
Pendergast's candidate for gov
ernor in the Democratic primary.
Major Lloyd C. Stark's opponent,
William Hirth, based his cam
paign principally on "anti-boss-
ISM" Jesse w. Barrett of st.
Louis won the G. o. P. nomina-
ton.
Townsend candidates in the two
central western states were weak.
Kansas Republicans renominated
Senator Arthur Capper and Dem
ocrats put up Omar B. Ketchum
to oppose him. Judge Dempster o.
Potts, Townsend candidate, was
counted out in the Democratic
primary.
William Schoen, Townsendite
seeking the Republican house
nomination in the sixth Kansas
district, was defeated by Repre-
sentative Frank Carlson, but
Thomas A. Ralston, another fol-
lower of the pension movement,
led a field of three for the DEM
ocratic nomination in the seventh.
What probably was the bitter
est defeat for the Townsendites,
however, was the refusal of Re-
publican voters in Missouri's
fourth district to put up c. E.
Hatfield against the Democratic
candidate, Representative c. Jas
per Bell, the pension movements
most hated foe because Of his
Craftsmanship of the house Town

DR.. Francis E. Townsend and

Five minutes after the new latest

Early today a searching party

Airport and airline officials
could give no reason for the dis
