BIG CROP, LOW PRICE

Here is the situation. Normally the U. S. eats 65O,OO00OO bushels of wheat, exports another 100,000,00C and carries over in bins and eleva- tors an additional one or 200 mill lion. But this year billion bushel crop is in sight which, coupled with 200000,000 carried over from 1887 has at times put the market down as low as TO cents bushel, al- though it is higher now.
 Under strict terms of the crop control act, wheat farmers expect ing to share any further Federal benefits would have to agree to cut their acreage almost in half next year, from this years 79 mill lion to 46 million acres. Neither Congress nor the Department wanted that job, especially in the present election year.
 To remove part of the string, Congress provided just before ad- journment that the acreage should not be cut below 55 million. Even with that, the country faces an- other harvest tat may put lO bushels of wheat in every pot and a stack of it in every garage. In- stead of 20O,OOO,OoO to carry over to next year the country appears likely to have 4700O0,000 bushels to carry over. That is well over half the national nteeds for a year.
 Some bright spots are:
 1-The prospect of 1888 crop re- duction by rust.
 2-Slack crops in parts of Flu rope. (Note-a billion bushel crop in 1915 brought whopping profits because of the war)

 HOTEL. IN s. E.

Dr. Gruening Sees Oppor- tunity for Ho telry to
 Further Tourist Business
WIDE RANGE OUTDOOR
 ACTIVITIES IS STRESSED
Need for Aviation Develop ment Emphasized
 Progress Made

Promotion of the tourist business and the development of aerial transportation with additional and improved air fields are among the major hopes of the Interior Depart ment for Alaska and efforts are being directed toward that end, Dr Ernest Gruening, Director of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, said here today on his arrival aboard the Brant for a gen. eral first-hand survey of Territorial matters. It is the Directors first trip north since he visited here two years ago.
 Down in Hawaii they have made the tourist business what they refer to as their third largest industry, and it seems to me the same thing can be done in Alaska" Dr. Gruen- ing commented T would like to see hotel located somewhere in South east Alaska similar to the one in Mt. Mckinley National Park; a typically recreational hotel, cater ing to sportsmen and the large number of vacationists who come annually northward; and who will come in greater numbers in the future"
 Sees Advantages
 The Director pointed out that with the countless year-around outdoor activities available in Alaska, rang ing from winter skiing to summer trout fishing and including noun tain climbing, hunting and dozens of other things pleasure-seekers love to do, Southeast Alaska is ideal ly situated for such an undertaking. He suggested that the Forest Serv- ice, which has supervision of most of the available recreation areas of the Southeast, would be the natural agency to undertake the building of such a hotel.
 The need for aviation develop ment continually becomes more pro- nounced, Dr. Gruening said, in bringing out that considerable pro- greSS has been made in that direc- tion. Air mail service between All aska and the States is now assured and probably will be started by the first of the year, if not sooner, he explained, and additional weather radio stations are being installed as aids to aerial navigation. It is hoped, he said, to get further money to expend on building new airports and enlarging some of the present ones to accommodate the improved

Raps DUN
Air Bill

GNSD Over the protest Of It's
author, Senator McCarran Cd OF
Nevada. Senate leaders today
hoped to pass bill creating an
aviation authority to consolidate
Federal control of commercial and
private flying.
The almost unprecedented &C
ton on a major issue arose when
McCarran objected vehemently to
an amendment to his bill which
he claims will give the President
political control" over the per
aonnel of the authority. The
Nevadan served notice he will
move to send the measure. tou:
years in preparation, back TO
committee. and thus block further
consideration this session of Con
greSS.
McCARRAN BITTER
AT the same time, q large bi
partisan block moved to push the
bill to Q final and successful vote
today after it was amended to
give the President power to re-
move members of the authority
"for any cause" The amend
amendment was sponsored by
Senator Truman CD of Missouri
author Of the aviation bill similar
to McCarran's.
The Nevadan'S bill, which calls
for an independent agency, SINH,
lar to the ICC and other quasi
judicial bodies, restricted presi
dental removal of members OF
the authority to "malfeaSance
neglect or inefficiency."
Bitter over his defeat, McCarran
said he preferred to postpone the
whole business rather til n
"create a political body to rule
over such an important matter
as aviation expansion and safety
programs"
