FARM MACHINERY
CONTROL Sc|TED
Trade Commission Reports
Industry Dominated by
Eight Firms.
BY the Associated Press.

ny tue ASsoclateo rIess.
The Federal Trade Commission told
Congress today the international Har-
vester Co. and seven other large
manufacturers dominate the produc-
ton of farm machines and imple-
ments.
The commission criticized what 1t
called "coercive measures" used by
certain large manufacturers whom 1t
did not identify. The report, part
one" Of an inquiry into the farm i'm
plement industry, limited that some
pricing policies may have bordered on
iliegality.
A second section will deal with
profits, prices and costs.
Companies Mentioned.
The bulk of production of farm i'm
plements and machines, the report
said, has become concentrated in the
hands of the following large manufac-
turers: International Harvester Co.,
Chicago; Deere & Co., Moline. ILL.,; ].
I. Case Co., Racine, Wis; Allis- Chal-
mers Manufacturing Co., Milwaukee;
Oliver Farm Equipment Co., Chicago;
Minneapolis Moline Power Implement
Co., Minneapolis; the Massey-H Harris
Co., Inc, Racine, Wis, and B. F. Avery
& Sons Co., Louisville.
International Harvester Co., the re-
port said, is 'by far" the most i'm
portant manufacturer. Deere & Co.
was ranked second.
H. c. Merritt, president Of the Farm
Equipment Institute, said he would
withhold any comment pending the
time when the release is made Of the
complete report"
Voting Control.
Greatest concentration in the hands
OF the eight large companies was
shown to exist in the output Of har-
vestfng machines, tractors and newer
types Of tractor operated machines
There was least concentration OF
business in older types Of horse-drawn
implements and special machines.
A few stockholders have large voting
control in certain companies, the re-
port said, and in some OF the smaller
concerns the stock is closely held
Nine shareholders controlled 379 per
cent Of the voting stock Of Interna-
tional Harvester and II controlled 49.1
per cent Of the voting stock of Deere
& Co.
The commission found that where q
few companies control the main part
Of output, their policies determine the
conditions under which all manufac-
turers and dealers must operate"

PERPIGNAN, France, June g.
French territory was invaded again
today by bombing planes from Spain,
but a prompt warning shot from
French anti-aircraft batteries sent
them back across the frontier after a
10-minute fight over France.
French officials referred to the nine
unmarked gray planes making todays
incursion only as "of unknown ma
tionality,". but Spanish government
forces on the other side of the border
seemed sure they were insurgent craft.
Spanish government anti-aircraft
batteries at Puigcerda fired 100 shots
at the planes as they crossed back into
Spain. Apparently there were no hits,
but shells burst close to the squad

French territory.
An anti-aircraft battery at the bor-
der town of Ur, standing with guns
ready to fire following orders issued
by Premier Edouard Daladier last
night, sent warning shot into the air
as soon as the planes appeared.
The battery prepared to follow the
warning with charged shells aimed at
the squadron, but the planes imme-
diately wheeled south.
The bombers next were sighted east
of Bourg- Madame, still over French
territory. Batteries at Nahuja, a little
village near the border, also fired a
warning shot. The planes then turned
and flew back across the frontier.
The nine invaders new in the same
formation-three V's-as those which
bombed fields near Aix-les-Thermer

Where they came from and what
they were seeking on the French side

CANTON, China, June 6.-Jap-
anese warplanes rained bombs on
this terrorized city in two Furnishing
raids today and Chinese officials esti-
mated the toll Of dead or wounded
at $500.
Over 100 bombs were dropped in
two raids, at $3.50 and 1890 am,
and according to official estimates at
least 1000 buildings were destroyed.
Between 40 and SO warplanes par
ticipated in the attack.
One bomb scored a direct hit on
the French-owned Doumer Hospital,
killing two Chinese patients and
wounding French surgeon and
many Chinese. One side of the
building was blown out. (The French
Ambassador at Toxic protested the
bombing)
Casualties Rise TO 5000.
The new raids lifted to 5000 au-
thoritative estimates of dead and
wounded since May 28, when Japan
began a crushing series of raids on
this South China metropolis, through
which large part of China's war
supplies from abroad enter. It was
the 10th successive day Canton or It's
environs had been bombed.
Heavy toll was taken today by
bombs which plunged into the house
boat community on the Pearl River,
home Of Thousands. The pilots evi.
IDENTIFY were aiming at the Pearl
Harbor bridge.
French authorities rushed French
Colonial infantry from their conces-
sion on Shameen Island to Doumer
Hospital, around which barricades
were erected.
Bodies Strewn Over Road.
Corpses were strewn over the wide
macadam road in front of the hospital
as buildings nearby were hit.
Forty-five bodies were laid in the
street outside a Red Cross unit next
door to the hospital.
Others were placed outside the
nearby Y. M. C. A. Building, where
Edward H. Lockwood of Indiana, Sec
retary, narrowly escaped injury.
Other bombs fell among the tightly
packed sampans in the river, Great
ing terrible havoc
British Consul A. p. Blunt tele-
phoned a protest to the japanese
consul general in Hong Kong against
the raiders flying over the foreign
quarter on Shameen Island.
No bombs were dropped in the
IorelSn settlement, but the planes
were said to have released numerous
bombs over the settlement in order
to hit nearby buildings.
Terrific Toll in Lives.
A tour of Canton disclosed ter
rife toll in lives had been taken.
Bombs dropped 200 yards from the
French Cathedral, causing loss of life
among Red Cross workers.
A short-circut, apparently resulting
from one explosion, caused a power
plant fire which ragged four hours and
disrupted the city's supply Of elec-
tricity.

I found out some amazing things
about the little theater movement in
this country.
First of all. Ut surprised me to find
out that there are 800 such organiza-
tions in the United States. Each one
averages four productions q year, with
an average cast Of 10 people. It is
reasonable to assume that every pro-
duction has an audience of at least
500. Add to this the audiences Of
university theaters and other dra-
matte societies and you will find that
amateur theatrical groups are play
ing to an audience of about 12000,-
600 people. In other words, one Of
our every twelve people in the country
is active, in one way or another, in
amateur theatricals.
Not so many years ago Broadway
and Hollywood depended almost en-
tirely upon theatrical stock companies
to train newcomers for stardom
About 1000 stock companies were
playing to flourishing business at one
time. Now there is hardly a profess
sional stock company to be found in
the country. and only the little the
aters carry on, growing in number
every year.
They perform function that cul-
tural-minded people cannot afford to
neglect. They give talent a chance
to come to the fore and try its wings.
And no one should be ashamed of
being identified with such an organi-
zation in any capacity Just because it
consists of amateurs"
