lands it does not own and should not
permit exports.
Purchase Wise Step"
He said T. v. A. had been criticized
for paving high prices for phosphate
land, but that he regarded it as a
wise step" because the demand was
increasing and prices would 60 up.
Extraction of the needed compounds
usually is by an electric furnace proc

tanned that hydroelectric power offers
opportunity to produce low cost. high
grade fertilizers along the pattern

fertilizer daily at a cost of about $40
ton. He said this compared with
present costs of $50 to $50

were accepting T. " A. fertilizer in

No Word From Lewis.

Mr.. Lewis, who appeared to be the
central figure in the post-primary
problem in view of the large c. I. O.
vote in Pennsylvania.
The labor leader had luncheon yes
terday with President Roosevelt.
There was no word, however, as to
whether they discussed the Pennsyl-
vania situation. Before the luncheon
Mr.. Roosevelt said Lewis was coming
to the White House on other mat
ters" When Lewis left he told news
men he had nothing to say"
Senator Guffey, too, was silent on
his attitude.
Leaders of the State organization
whose candidates won in the primary
professed optimism that the breach
would be closed. They appeared con-
fldent that 1t. Gov Thomas Kennedy
the beaten Guffey-Lewis candidate for
nomination to be Governor, would not
run as an independent.

Lawrence said he also talked by tele-
phone with Postmaster General James

Senator Guf1ey conferred with Mr..

Another development was dismissal
