Tobacco Outlook
Optimistic for Year,
Burch Reports
U. S. Expected to Cory
Only 10000, 900
Pounds of Crop

By the Associat ted Press.
Representative Burch. Democrat,
of Virginia said yesterday he had
received optimistic reports" from
Federal tobacco marketing ex-
perts on the 1910 outlook.
Present indications are, Mr.. Burch
said he was told, that the Federal
Government will find it necessary
to carry only about 160, 000, 900 pounds
OF the 1910 crop. forecast at about
$50 .0O0, 900 pounds.
This estimate was about 100, 000,-
600 pounds below earlier predictions,
he said, and was attributed by mar
keting specialists to two principal
factors-the favorable price level
on sales to date, and the result Of
the quota referendum in July in
which growers voted overwhelm-
ingly to adopt marketing reStric-
tons for a three-year period.
The amount to be carried by
Federal funds, Mr.. Burch explained,
would include purchases made by
the Imperial Tobacco Co. of Great
Britain and other exporters under
loan agreement with the Com
modify Credit Corp.
Mr.. Burch said he was informed
that present indications were that
about 7O0,0O0,OO0 pounds would be
disposed of during the marketing
season, and that if conditions were
maintained, it would be possible to
wipe out the existing surplus during
the next three years.

Oil Monopoly Cases
To Be Pushed, Arnold SAYS

There has been no waiver of the
antitrust laws" in the delay in the
Governments proposed suit against
the Nations major oil companies,
Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attorney
General, has informed Senator Gill
lette, Democrat, Of Iowa.
Replying to a letter in which Sen
ator Gillette demanded, satisfactory
reasons" why the Justice Department
had not prosecuted the oil companies
for alleged monopolistic practices,
Mr.. Arnold wrote that "as a matter
of courtesy to the Defense Commits
sion and information to this depart
ment," the matter was referred to
the Defense Commission for study
as a possible effort on national de-
tense.
Their recommendations" Mr.. Ar
mold said, will be carefully consid-
cred with respect to modifying any
of the relief sought in the oil suit,
if. as a matter of fact, it appears
that the interests of national de-
tense are involved. We anticipate
no conflict.
I'VE are convinced that the oil
suit will, in a civil proceeding, settle
various issues which until now have
been the subject of numerous crimi-
nal cases, all Of which the depart
ment has won"
The proposed suit would name %
major oil companies and about 300
subsidiaries and affiliates.

The naturalization service coun-
ter at District Court Is doing q rush

The naturalization service coun-
ter at District Court Is doing q rush
business these days, rejecting the
steady increase since the political
oppressors of Europe began having
success in putting their ideas into
actual operation.
A survey yesterday revealed that
since 1884, the year after Hitler
came to power In Germany, the
number here that have taken one
of the three steps In the cycle to
become citizens increased 142 per
cent.
This year is showing q substantial
increase over last, 294 more per-
sons listed as making one Of the
moves up to August l, compared
with the same number In the first
seven months Of last year.

clerk In charge Of naturalization,

European War Booms Naturalization Business

said the washington increase is in
line with the increase over the
country. The number has been
increased largely by two groups, she
said-those who have been living
in the United States for many years
but who had never thought about
citizenship until the political OPP
preston in Europe began and those
who are refugees from abroad and
wish to renounce their allegiance to
their mother country Immediately
and pledge their support of the
United States flag.
In 1894 those filing first papers
and petitions and those admitted
totaled 1893; the following year the
number rose to 1,102; in 1896 1t was
1884 and last year reached 1888.
Last years figures were: Filed first
papers, $50; petitions for admission,
TAO, and admissions, 603.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-08-17

In the group who have lived in
this country for some time and are
just recently taking the step toward
citizenship many are probably in
f1uenced in their interest In having
relatives from abroad come to the
United States. A citizen may get
first preference for certain relatives
on the quotas for admission.
Another factor recently Is that
many Government departments here
are hiring nothing but citizens, and
aliens who have been on the pay roll
for some time are hurrying to take
out first papers.
Although the factor has no in
fluence among Washingtonians. In
other sections Of the country aliens
are moved by the desire to vote.
Also for . number Of years Govern
ment contracts on vital war sup
plies have carried Q clause that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-08-17

employers must hire only citizens
an important factor in industrial
regions.
Restrictions are being eased in
some cases. Only this month a
new law went into effect making
it easier for native-born American
women who lost their citizenship
by marriage to an alien prior to
September %, 1922, whose marriage
has been terminated by death or
divorce. In the past they had to
file petitions for admission, then
wait three months after taking an
examination; today they only have
to I'LL out a repatriation blank, take
the oath, and they are citizens
again.
It's cheap to- become a citizen.
It costs $2.50 for 4 certificate Of
arrival in this country, $3.50 to file
the first papers and S. for the
petition-$l0 In all.
