CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 6.-Dips in wheat
values today accompanied a partial
break in drought conditions that have
been menacing crops of late both sides
OF the Canadian border.
Something of a rallying tendency,
however, was shown by the wheat
market as the day drew to an end.
A trade verdict was that for the most
part the rains had been light, and
not the widespread drenching which
was hoped for to dispel drought.

Slash i'm Copper
Output Is Talked
Bv Bic Producers
BY the Associated Press.

.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Wall Street
has heard gossip recently that some of
the large producers of copper are giving
consideration to the question of cur
failing production.
1t is said that demand has been
tapering down a bit both in the do
mestic and foreign markets, resulting
in some increase in stocks.
The slower movement of export
metal is, of course, not difficult to ex-
plain in the light of the fresh anxieties
engendered throughout Europe by the
disturbing situation in France.
This has been reflected by a definite
softening of prices in the foreign
market, but here the quotation has
been showing indications of steadiness
at the 9i2-cent pound level.

do not want a break; quite apart from the sentimental side I think they do not want a break. A break would prolong the war. It would last for years.
 L. We do not any of us want to prolong the war.
 B. That is exactly why I want to get out of this present difficulty. From the present state of affairs 1t looks as if the end is coming and If now there was a break and the United States was brought into the war 1t would pro:ong 1t. It would cause new complications.
 L. I do not feel that breaking of of diplomatic relations neces- Sarily means war.
 B. do not say 1t myself but l do not see how 1t can be avoided. If we refuse 1t will because we are to continue submarine warfare and then something might happen which would mean war. I came to see If something could not be done. A page from the unpublished diary of Col. Edward House, Wilson advisor, dated June g, 1916, show ed him to believe that "the French and English are prolonging the war unnecessarily"
 Great Britain" he wrote, "de- sires to destroy militarism and at the same time perpetuate navalism, when the war has shown that of the two, Ilavalisrn might be made the more oppressive of the two branches of military service"
 Frank L. Polk, then counsellor of the state department, was in charge while Lansing went away on fishing trip in July, 1916.
 Polk wrote to his chief:
 T suppose you have followed the English blacklisting and have seen the mail note. The British govern ment certainly seems to be doing its best to get into a row. Personally. think the time has come to stand up to them. Of course, this black listing is nothing new, but if we let 1t slide, 1t will give the Germans abroad and here very good grounds for saying we are not even handed in our jus tice."
 As time passed, American officials grew even more angry with the Allied activities. Col. House noted in his diary on Nov. l7, 1916:
 T will confess that the Allies are irritating almost beyond endur- ance.
 Tt is evident they are trying to force us into war with Germany. Our prosperity and growing strength maddens them. I believe this is confined largely to the gov- erning class. nevertheless, the dan- ger is the greater because this Is true. They cannot understand why we do not feel that they are fight ing our battles. We have no fear of Germany and feel entirely able to take care of ourselves"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-15

(Continued from Page 10 was continuing. Two bodies were in such condition that it seemed im- possible to remove them.
 My city editor sent Mervin Rosen- bush, Jr., photographer, and myself to Forrest City, Ark, at the time the plane was missing and was be- lieved to have crashed somewhere in the vicinity. When we arrived there, 1t was reported the plane had crashed near Goodwin, IS miles to the west. We raced to the swamp there and found several natives standing on the road. It would be impossible to get through frigid, waist deep waters we could encoun- ter without hip boots, they told us. But we organized several into a searching party and entered.
 Signal is Given
 c. E. West, American air lines manager at Little Rock, had enter ed the swamp from another point at the head of 8 party. Through dense undergrowth, our way lighted by land lamps, we pushed through. Finally we heard two pistol shots from the other party. It was the signal that they had found the plane.
 We had progressed by short way toward the place where the shots had sounded, when we smelled gas- oline. Then our feeble flashlights picked out bits of wreckage in the trees. Then we stumbled upon one of the motors. The trees had been sheared off as by giant knife. Then we came to the largest piece of wreckage-the Cabin. What we saw is beyond my capacity to de- scribe. It was so horrible my mind could not register 1t fully, nor my memory retain it.
 Buried in Mud, Water
 Bodies were buried in mud and water. A decapitated body was dis covered. Someone stepped on a wo- mans arm. A mans body was dug from the mud. The body of Nathan Porter was identified by notice from the Prudential Insurance com- pany that his annual premium of $1, ,445.40 was due.
 While the bodies were gathered together and loaded on small wag- ons pulled by mules, the natives talked among themselves.
 Tt sounded like two claps of thunder almost at once," said l.. O. Christy, Q young fisherman. T had a pretty good idea it was in this swamp"
 Plane Shot Down
 Ralph Eldbridge, IS, and Bob Massey, 18 who said they farmed on "Ollie Goffner's place" said they saw the plane over the railroad.
 We was hunting possum, El- bridge said. T saw the plane fly over going west. It seemed to shoot down.. heard a crash.
 Barton L. Fry, of the Federal AL cohol tax unit at Forrest City, and James s. Merrick, his partner, had been out hunting stills. Instead they stumbled into the tragedy.
