GREAT BRITAIN
 PRACTICES WAR
(Continued from Page D

It was learned by agreement with the French general staff, the Royal Air force planned 8 second war-sim- ulation flight to the French Medi- terranean coast next week.
 Two hundred bombing planes, with crews totaling more than 1000 men, are to make the fight.
 French planes will make their first mass training fight to England next week.
 On August 9, just after the big blackout test, King George is to re- view approximately 130 units of the home fleet including reserve ships which will be commissioned for ac- tive service.
 Great Parade In Paris
 Paris, July 14-(UP)-French and British soldiers, sailors, marines and avlators marched down the Champs Elysees today, and French and Brit ish war planes flew overhead in a great Bastille day demonstration that was @ display of French mili- tary power and French and British unity.
 President Albert Lebrun took the salute as the troops passed by his tribune. Beside him were Premier Edouard Daladier, Gen. Maurice Gamelin, chief of the defense forces; Leslie Hore- -Belisha, British war sec- retary Gen. Viscount Gort chief of the British imperial general staff; Air Chief Marshal Sir Cyril Newall chief of the British air staff, and the Sultan of Morocco. Three hundred French and 45 British airplanes, 30,000. troops, FOG armored cars and tanks, horse and motorized artillery were in the dis play, along with the infantry and cavalry and marines and sailors. Famous Grenadlers The British troops were the fa- nous Grenadier Guards of King Georges household regiments. They fought at Waterloo against Napo- leon. Frances troops included the Alpine Chasseurs, famous as the Blue Devils"; foreign legionnaires brought from the Sahara desert Spahi cavalry from Africa, black Senegalese, Moroccan sharpshooter regiments, Indo-Chinese infantry picked men from the Maginot line and the ordinary French soldiers such as defended Verdun. Three Special Features
 There were three special features of the display:
 1-This year. for the first time photographing of the Bastille dis play, except by authorized photog- raphers stationed at designated spots. was forbidden by the general staff.
 2-It was the first time that Brit ish troops had paraded in Paris since the victory parade after the World war.
 3-There was a noticeable public consciousness that this years Bast- tile day parade was a display for the benefit of whom 1t might con- cern. and particularly for Hitler and Mussolini. that France and Britain were united.
 British troops shared honors with the famous foreign legion as the stars of the parade. It was reported that French au- thorities were SO enthusiastic over the demonstration that next year they might invite the participation of contingents from all over the British empire.
 German anger over the first mass training flight of British bombers over France aroused only satisfac- tion here, and . new 0ntburst over today's display seemed to be awaited eagerly.

 Amount Not Clear
 No official announcement has been made yet as to the amount of the alleged shortage in Sullivans ec- counts. Originally 1t was estimated that between $53,000 and $9O,000 would be evtually recorded as the discrepancy.
 Sullivan disappeared May 3lst, explaining to friends thta he was going by bus to New York city for a short visit with friends. He has not been seen or heard from since. The alleged shortage was discovered shortly after his departure and foi- lowing report of auditors the di- rectors of the bank voted to sus- pend business and closed its doors on June 24th, FBIC representatives immediately took charge. Later the C-men stepped into the picture.
 Found Evidence Here
 Sullivan was well known to many v'aterburians, socially to some and as cashier to many, who had de- posits in the Plantsville bank. The story is now current that within a short time after the department Of justice men assumed charge of the investigator the. had found con- siderable e. ..ence in the office of a Waterbury investment firm to war rant the suspicion that Sullivan had used the banks money to speculate end had lost ,avily. One fairly au- thentic source places his loss through the investments made here as high as s7o.O00.
 Friends of Sullivan. however. are sti1 loyal to him. Even among the depositors calling for their savings yesterday there was . disposition 10 be sympathetic for him. There were several expressions indicating that soma still had implicit confidence in him.

CONFIDENCE IN
 CHAIRMAN CRARY
(Continued from Page J

back the regular city election from October 3 to November IA, there is no certainty as to election law pro- visions which are ordinarily based on the October election date There is even a possibility, it was brought out, that candidates will have to be chosen even before the city man. ager referendum. Then, if the city manager charter should be adopted, the candidates would have no office for which to run, for the new char ter limits elective offices to members of the city council and board of education.
 The committee voted to take no stand on the city manager ques- ton, on the ground that c vote either way might tend to make the proposed new charter partisan is- sue.
 New Voters
 Considerable time was devoted to detailed plan for bringing in new voters. Sessions for the making of new voters are now held once each month, and a six-day session will be held before election in the fall.
 Each of the g committeeman was present last night. and the meeting was followed by an informal ssclis- sion of the local political situation. There was no mention made of any specific candidates for ofilce on the Democrat ticket.

Farmers Receive
Parity Payments

Washington wheat farmers have re-
ceived more than half million dollars
i'll federal parity payments, according
to figures released this week by the
state agricultural conservation office
at Pullman. At the time the figures
were compiled, 1859 applications to-
falling $559,600 had been certified to
the treasury disbursing office for pay
ment.
Parity or price adjustment pay
ments of IL cents bushel based up-
on the normal yield of allotted acre
age are being made for farmers who
are participating in the 1899 wheat
adjustment program. These payments
are made possible by special appro-
priation by Congress and are sepa. ate
from conservation payments which
may be earned by wheat farmers this
year.
1t is estimated that approximately
$4,000 Washington farmers and land
lords will receive parity payments
totaling $2,453,000 tnls year.

CEMENT POURING
HALTED SUNDAY

A drop in the supply Of cement
flowing to the Grand Coulee dam site
from six mills in the state caused a
full-day shutdown of concrete pouring
operations Sunday.
1t was the second time in week
, that pouring was interrupted because
Of cement shortages.
"CBI is doing everything it pos
sibly can to get the maximum pro-
duction on a uniform basis,' said
Jack Walsh, representative of the
, company.
The company expects to pour 49,
600 cubic yards of concrete a day,
Walsh explained. Present indicat 'ons
are that $4,000 barrels of cement
will arrive daily.
Each yard of conc. etc requires one
barrel CT cement. The surplus will he
stored in the silos in anticipation Of
day when no cement arrives.
Bureau engineers pointed out Sat
u1day that the shortage is no re-
Election on the cement companies, as
monthly shipments have regularly
been above the maximum called for
in the contract. The specifications re-
quire peak of 100000 month and
the shipments have tota1ed $4,000.
Given at the present rate, the
shipment to the dam site comprises
the greatest single supply in the his
tory of construction, one engineer
sad.
Indications are that July 4 will
be the earliest that cement will be
supplied under new contract for g.
$4,000 barrels, bids for which will
be opened in Washington, D. c., Fri
day.

WHEAT PROSPECTS IMPROVE

The recent changes in weather have
changed the wheat outlook throughout
the Inland Empire. Relief was felt as
the hot, d.y spell changed to cooler
days and rain in many sections.
/. According to- grain experts in Spo'
kane, while wheat will not run as
heavy in either the Palouse or the
Big Bend regions as it did last year,
the rains coming at an opportune time
have greatly improved crop prospects
in spring wheat. Also winter wheat
prospects in both areas are much aid
ed.

Surveying Basin
Land Is Big Job

Surveying and mapping the $500,
900 acres of Columbia basin land be
low Grand Coulee dam will take al
this season and the next, Reclamation
Commission Page announced at Wash
ington yesterday. To lay out the pro
ject 3 future canal system more thar
$3.50 square miles must be resurveyed
About 100000 acres of this Land
including abandoned farms, desert
land and dry-farming areas are to be
reclaimed.
When the records are complete they
will show the location, ownership, top
ography>and soil constituency of every
A0-acre parcel of land within the Col
umbia basin project.
The soil on every parcel will be
sampled, analysed and classified, and
the Land and it's improvements fairly
and impart:ally appraised. About
100000 acres of public domain are
to be opened gradually to public set
Element.
Settlers and other buyers will have
access to all records, including land
appraisals, which set the maximum
prices at which irrigable lands on che
project may be sold.
The first step in the surveying pro
gram is "retracement or the rees-
tablishment of section and quarter-sec-
ton corners located by contract sur
veyors so or rs years ago. Over 49,
coo metal markers in concrete set
tings will replace the wood stakes,
marked stones and small charcoal de-
posts that formerly identified such
corners. Retracement has already been
completed over an area of l,75O,OOO
acres.
The retracement survey is the basis
Of the bureaus land ownership re-
cords, which will cover not only the
irrigable land but also the waste land
ind grazing districts interspersed
with NE arabic land. It is indispens-
able to the design and the purchase
of right Of way for the canal system,
and complies with the provisions Of
the anti-speculation act.
Elevations Vary
By comparison with benchmarks es'
tablished by the geological survey
and the coast and geodetic survey,
the relative elevations Of corner
monuments are determined by level
parties, the second step in the survey
ing program. Elevations have already
been determined over an area Of L.
100000 acres. They have varied from
about 1880 feet above sea level at
the north end Of the project to about
400 at the south end.
Topographic surveyors will map
contour lines at two-foot intervals OF
elevation on plane tables in the field.
Rodmen engaged in this work have
walked $4,000 miles, and still have
$1,000 miles to go.
