ITS A DUEL, BO
by MAIL OR HOE
in maine, IDAHO
Governors Would Fight
It 0ut-DoWn Spud Row.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. Is G.N.S.N
Let the governor Of Massachusetts
and the governor Of Georgia fight
over the chain gangs, paroled priS
onerS ct cetra-there's bigger trou
BILE than that brewing between thu
Governor of Maine and the Gov
ernor of Idaho.
It started with challenge from.
Idaho Gov. Barzilla w. Clark
to Maine Gov. Lewis o. Barrows
for the potato-picker.upper cham
pionship of the world (open to gow
errors Of Maine and Idaho only. II
passed rapidly through the staga
OF yelled hints as to the size, shape,
quality and general deSirability Of.
rival spuds in ArooStock County,
Me-, and Idaho Falls. Z
DUEL TO THE END-OF ROW I
Today only the field of honor
(and potatoeS) remained to be SCI.
lected for a fall-of-1938 duel to
the end-of the potato row.
You can imagine the curl OF
Governor Clark's lip as he tersely
dictated the challenge: !
Il will meet him on a neutral !
patch any afternoon in the week,
the only provisions being that |
the spudS be Idaho russets in |
their native hills, no holds
barred" /
And the steely CLINT in Governor
Barrows' eyes as he replied:
ut seems to me rather I'm. /
usual that you should suggest
that this contest be held in
Idaho. It would handicap me /
to be confined to picking small /
potatoes, as we are not familiar !
in this State with anything ex- I
cept large, rich full-sized baking
tubers."
CLARK CITES PHYSIQUE !
AS to the championship calibre
Of the spudding duelists, nobody
had to speak for Governor Clark.
Il have" wrote he, "a news !
paper clipping to prove that I !
am a good potato-picker-upper, !
the contention being that I have !.
an ideal physique for such work.
being built close to the ground. =
That is why am not seeking
any build-up for my proves"
The challenge rests now on
whether the contest will be in
Governor Clark's neutral patchs
in Idaho, or Governor Barrows'
'world-famous potato raising
State Of Maine" A world Of POI
tato Iovers awaits the decision.

LONDON WORRIED
BY GOLD SITUATION
Morgenthau's Statements Fail to
Check Neutrality-suspicious.
Major Market Influence.

BY Gable to The Star.
LONDON, June 5-Tae securities
market during the last week was sub
tected to three major influences: First,
the Spanish bombing of a German
battleship; second, withdrawal, as the
result of strong pressure by industry
and finance, of the new national de-
fense contribution, and, third, ac-
centuation Of uncertainty over the
gold position.
The gold situation was the main
market influence as the week closed
1t was felt more strongly in the gold
mining section, but the underlying un-
eaSiness as to the future price of gold
was restraining influence through
out.
Secretary Morgenthaus statements
failed to check dishoarding, and the
use of the word imminent" was
taken to signify possible action in
the not distant future.
The policy of the British authorities
in allowing the discount to widen to
7i3d on the dollar affords no clue as
to the ultimate intentions, causes per-
plexity and raises the question of how
long resources of the exchange fund
will be able to absorb the increasing
amounts of gold. The total amount
dishoarded in the last II days was
over f15000,000.

Jurors were summoned for court duty,
though a few, for one reason or an
