DROUGHT FAILS
TO DEPOPULATE
Number of Persons in Strick-
en- Areas Remains
Nearly Stable.
By the Associated Press.

oy tac ASSoCiAteo FTecSs
A Government population study
showed today that repeated droughts,
duststorms. grasshopper plaques and
other adversities in the Great Plains
States had failed to reduce the num-
Der of persons on farms there in re-
cent years.
THE popular impression that there
has been considerable depopulation is
not correct" said DR.. Conrad ;Taeuber
of the Division of Farm Population
and Rural Life, who made the study.
Population Almost Stationary.
Taken as q whole, the farm popu-
lation of the 10 Plains States has re-
manned almost stationary since the
World War;" Taeuber said.
One NTH of the entire farm popula-
ton of this country was living in the
Plains States on January l. 1885. he
said. These included the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
Montana. Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico.
However, the increase Of farm popu-
lation in the 10 States between 1910
and 1885 was placed at only $4,000.
or less than one-half the number Of
children born to farm women there
in any one Of recent years.
Taeuber noted that the census Of
agriculture taken last year. tmme-
diately after the 1884 drought, showed
the population had been changed less
than one-tenth Of per cent between
1890 and 1885,"
Decreases Balanced.
While there were decreases In some
States and in parts Of others, Taeuber
said these had been balanced pretty
much. In the period 1s20-1s35. he said
only Montana decreased its farm popu-
lation more than 10 per cent or more
and only New Mexico showed q gain
of that amount.

BLUM MAY PAY
EFRENCH DEBT
TO u. 5.

PARIS, May IS Q.N.S0.-Leon
Hum, slated to become premier
soon, today held out the strong
possibility that his government
would reconsider payment Of the
French debt to the United States,
In q speech at the American
Club the Socialist leader also
called for freer trade with the
United States and peaceful rela'
lions with the Hitler regime in
Germany.
Ambassador Jesse Isidor Straus
was among the group Of 800 that
heard Blum.
Declaring there had been a mis-
understanding between France
and the United States over the
debt, Blum explained:
at was not understood that
the Dawes plan and the Hoover
moratorium were separate.
"The French did not realize
that One-sided denunciatiOn Of q
contract made Americans Ques-
ton their business and moral
probity. I hope that this mis-
understanding will be wiped out
by a common accord that will
serve to change conditions in
Europe and help remake the,
world"
France and the United States
have the same ideas Of social JUS
tice, Blum said, and he expressed
the hope that the two countries
would succeed in abohshing "the
spirit of antagonism in money and
customs barriers"
Blum, who has long been conSid-
ering the American debt impaSse,
will mention this problem with the
possible suggestion of at least par
tial payment in his ministerial
declaration to the Chamber Of Dep
uties June 2, according to authori.
tive circles.
Some debt gesture may even be
made before the next payment
falls due June Is, some quarters
predict. Blum faces trouble, how
ever, if he tries to make a payment
as the country is already in finan.
cial straits.

Nationwide Police
Radio Network
Is Forecast

Cities throughout the United
States eventually may be linked by
a nationwide police radio network
as a result Of action taken yeSter-
day by the Federal Communica-
lions Commission.
The Federal agency ordered the
1000 to 5000 kilocycle wave band,
formerly reserved for televiSion
experimentation, cleared all over
the country for the use Of police
broadcaStS.
It is expected more than so
municipalities will apply to broad
cast on this band, and that the
apprehension Of fugitives and the
transmission of data on criminals
will become easier through gigan-
tic network.
