Timber Company in Court

CIRCUIT JUDGE FEINBERG Of
~ Chicago issued an injunction ty-
ing up five bank accounts said to
contain more than half a million
dollars in funds of the Resources
Corporation International, which is
under investigation by the federal
securities and exchange commits
sion.
The injunction was issued on the
petition of Magnus C. Brinkman and
his wife, Anna, of Sheboygan, Wis,
stockholders in the corporation. At
the same time Judge Feinberg or
dered hearing on appointment of
receiver for the company, which
was organized in 1881 to sell timber
cutting contracts on 1000, 900 acres
Of Mexican lands. The suit, fled
by Attorneys William A. Rogan and
William c. Burns, names 81 individ-
uals and five subsidiary corpora
tions.
The Brinkmans, who own So 1000
in stock of the corporation, charge
that its chairman, Harper S. Hoo
yer, through fraud, has got more
than $4,000, 900 belonging to the COM
pany and has converted it to his own
purposes.

the diet over acid-forming foods.
Some authorities believe that this
may be due not so much to their
effect on the acid-base balance as
to the fact that they provide such
splendid amounts of vitarnins,
minerals and fiber.
However, one must not make
the mistake of becoming so enthu-
siastic over building a highly al
kaline diet that one overlooks good
foods necessary to round out a
balanced diet.
To those homemakers who take
seriously the important job of
feeding a family, and wish to be
correctly informed, shall gladly
send chart showing which foods
are alkaline and which acid. It
can be used as helpful guide in
planning a balanced diet.
Send for this chart and increase
your food knowledge. In the
meantime, don't under any cir
cumstances allow misguided indi-
viduals to brighten you into join
ing the vast army of acid-minded
people who are so concerned over
the possibilities of acidosis that
they haven't time to enjoy life.

be futile "unless it is accompanied

Revision of the Wagner act so
as to make it a workable instru-

Questions Answered

Miss Nj. V.-Indeed l am not
against the eating of fried foods,
except in abnormal conditions
where, for some reason, the fat in
take must be restricted. The mod
crate use of fried foods, which
have been properly cooked, makes
the diet palatable and interesting.
Mrs. S. T. R.-No, egg whites
most certainly are not toxic, ex-
cept to people who have an al
lergy toward this food. For all
normal individuals, they offer an
excellent source of protein.
Mrs. r. McK.-Generally speak
ing, the ideal weight for men and
women over thirty is their nor
NAL weight at the age of thirty.
From that time on, the scales
should be watched, and the food
intake reduced as soon as gain
is noticed. When maturity is
reached, food is no longer re-
quired to support growth, and I'M
less muscular activity is main
tanned at a high level, the total
energy requirement will gradual
ly decline.

Crop Control Revolt Grows
THROUGHOUT the Middle "

THROUGHOUT the Middle West
1 the revolt against compulsory
crop control was spreading rapidly
under the leadership of the Corn
Belt Liberty league. Plans for in
corporation of the league in several
states were being perfected and
many branches were organized. I'm
fortunately for the corn growers,
their representatives in congress
seemed to be inactive.
In the South the cotton and to-
bacco growers were equally resent
full of the control features of the
farm act, and southern senators told
the senate of the revolt among their
constituents so forcibly that the SEN
ate adopted series of amendments
to the law designed to appease
them. One provides that any cot
ton acreage allotment within state
not desired by the farmers receiv-
ing it may be apportioned among
other farmers within that state. An
other amendment would placate the
growers of certain types of tobacco.

Primary Results

. ETURNS from four statewide
N primaries were hailed by DEM
ocratic leaders as national party in
dorsement Of President Roosevelt's
program; but Republicans rejoiced
over an apparent $4,000 G. o. P.
plurality in South Dakota.
The Florida victory of Senator
Claude Pepper, New Dealer, in a
three-cornered race, on top of New
Deal victories in Alabama and In
diana, drew this statement from
Democratic National Chairman
James A. Farley:
"These primary elections show
definitely that, in spite of the
screaming propaganda by the sue
cessors to the Liberty League and
the spokesman of the Liberty league
policies, there exists no falling off
in President Roosevelt's prestige
and that the nation approves the
legislation the President has advo-
Gated"
In Alabama the only significant
occurrence was defeat of former
Sen. Tom Hefiin for the house in
his old home district.

l 157,000,000 naval expansion bill

The measure empowers this gov
eminent to surpass the rearmament

cludes the possibility of the United

Railroads Vote PAY Cut

FIFTEEN per cent reduction in
! wages Of 925, ZOO union workers,
effective July l, was voted by the
Association of American Railroads
at session attended by the execu-
tives of more than a hundred rail-
way companies. They declared the
two most important reasons for this
action were loss of revenue and in
creases in operating costs.
George Harrison, chairman of the
Association of Railway Labor Exec
utives, said: ''We don't propose to
submit to wage reductions. The &C.
ton of the roads is ill-advised and
unfortunate and will have a tenden-
cy to obstruct the Presidents re-
covery program.
D. B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, declared: There
will be no wage reduction agreed to
by railroad employees"

peace over the Czechoslovakian
question, and is rather in favor of
the British plan for a four-power
agreement among Britain, Italy,
Germany and France for European
peace.
That is briefly what is believed at
this writing to have developed in
the first momentous conference be-
tween Hitler and Mussolini in Rome.
No official statement was given out
Immediately.
Hitler, according to reports,
opened up with a long statement
concerning British rearmament,
seeking to wean Mussolini away
from his tie-up with England. And
he asked Italy's support in his de-
mands for return of Germany's lost
colonies.
II Duce, it was said, told the
Fuehrer that German help in de-
feating loyalist Spain was vital, but
Hitler was noncommittal on this
point.
Hitler was given a wonderful re-
ception in Rome. He was lodged
in the Quirinal palace, being Off
cially the guest of King Victor En-
manuel. The city was lavishly dec
Grated and elaborate demonstrations
and reviews were staged to impress
him with the power and discipline
of Fascist Italy.
After several preliminary confer
ences in which Foreign Ministers
Won Ribbentrop and Ciano partici-
pated, Hitler went to Naples and
witnessed a naval review that was
startling revelation of Italy's sea
power.
One Italian who didn't cheer the
Nazi chieftain was Pope Plus. In
an address at his summer home,
Castel Gandolfo, to which he had
conveniently retired, he deplored as
"sad thing" the raising of the Nazi
swastika in Rome on Holy Cross
day, the day of Hitler's arrival.
