fort of this sort ever made in the

that its report, when made, will make
both the general public and the mem

Although the liquor fact-finding
commission held it's first meeting
here Friday, the first public hearing
will not be held until August 27, when
it will convene again in Raleigh to
hear any persons who desire to ap-
pear before it to present facts which

Blows Itself Out in South

Valparaiso, Fla, Aug. / (AP)-Five
or more deaths tentatively were
charged to a tropical storm that
blew itself out over southern Ala
bama today.
First reports told of no deaths
when the disturbance brought hurri-
cane winds of 80 to 100 miles as it
passed inland near here yesterday
morning, but last night the coast
guard reported the tug Minnie Lee
sank and said it's crew of five was
missing.
Lack of reports from two other
vessels gave rise to fears that the
death toll might be even larger.
: Coast Guardsmen searched gulf
waters for the fishing schooner Sea-
gull, unreported since she left Tampa
July 25 with five men aboard. Her
course would have taken her into the
path of the storm.
The schooner Ketchum, of st. Pet
ersburg, with an undetermined num-
Der on board, was off the northwest
Florida coast when the hurricane nit
yesterday and still was unreported
today.
On shore a number of Florida COM
munities checked their damages and
found them relatively light, in view
of the hurricanes force.
Some frame dwellings were level
led, but their occupants had needed
warnings to seek safe places.

INDIVIDUAL LOSERS
Dry Weather Has Taken
Away Income of Farmers
Who Lost Crops and Given

Whose Crops Were Sue
cessfuI; Big Increases

Chicago, Aug. l (AP)-With farm
prices at the highest general level
since 1880 as a result of the protract-
cd drought, market analysis today
forecast the 1886 farm income might
be the largest in six years, barring
further serious crop losses.
Farmers income for the first half
Of the year was $685., 100000 greater
than a year ago, the government es-
tim9ted. Since then the rising prices
of important agricultural commodi-
ties-in some cases the sharpest since
war davs-was believed by most OBJ
servers to have more than offset the
serious crop losses due to the heat
and lack of rain.
Traders cited the danger of a world
wheat scarcity as grain prices squirt
ed upward in foreign and domestic
markets.
There was no sign of the deluge
needed to halt the steady deteriora-
ton in midwestern fields.
Wheat advanced materially at the
Chicago Board of Trade today on re-
in Europe and Canada, but sharp
breaks IN prices followed quickly.
Corn opened higher but also tumbled.
In effect, the drought has taken
away the income of farmers whose
crops were destroyed, ana, by lifting
prices, has given it to those produc-
ers whose crops wer successful.
The advance in farm prices since
the drought became a major market
influence about six weeks ago has
been sensational. From June Is to
July Is the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics said farm prices showed
the greatest increases for any 30
da yperiod since August, 1884. At
lnid-Uuly, when prices were lower
than they are now, the general level
Of values, the bureau said, was the
best since September, 1880.

Youth Held

Grant, Neb., Aug. 1 (AP)-The ac-

cry landed Sterling Powell, 16-year-
old farm boy in Jail today, charged
with threatening the life of the tiny
screen star, Shirley Temple, in a
$4,000 extortion plot.
Operations of Federal agents led
late yesterday to the arrest of the
youth at his farm home near here by
Sheriff Betschel.
The sheriff said young Powell had
told him he conceived the fantastic
scheme after seeing a movie based
on kidnapping scene, but never
meant to go through with it,"
Betschel reported the prisoner read
lily admitted he sent a letter to
George F. Temple, father of the little
actress, setting forth in part:
Unless $4,000 is dropped from an
airplane near Grant, Neb., on May

STATE RADIO WILL
Be DECIDED MONDAY
Budget Commission to Act
On Communications
System for Patrol
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
IN The Sir Walter Hotel,
Nv i C. BASK ERVILL

Raleigh, August Whether or not
North Carolina will have Statewide
radio communications and control
system for the State highway patrol,
which would also be available to all
police departments and sheriffs Of
fices in the State, will be decided
Monday when the Advisory Budget
Commission will meet and pass final
decision on the matter. Governor j.
G.. B. Ehringhaus has already given
his approval to the expenditure for
the radio system and it now only
needs to have the approval of the ad-
visory budget commission to become
final. The 1885 General Assembly
authorized the expenditure for the
radio control system whenever, in the
discretion of the governor and ad-
visorv budget commission, sufficient
funds were available for it.
While the principal need for the
radio control system is to reduce
highway accidents by being able to
better direct patrolmen in the appre-
hension of reckless and dangerous
drivers and in getting them to scenes
of accidents in the shortest possible
time the radio control system would
also be of great assistance to city and
county law enforcement officers, Cap
tain Charles D. Farmer of the patrol
pointed out today.
1--WE would be able to arrest 80 per
cent of the hit-and-run, drunken and
reckless drivers within few hours
after they are reported and would
thus be able to prevent numerous &C
cidents if we had the radio control
system" Captain Farmer said. "Ai
