TOURIST TELLS
OF ODD SIGHTS

NEW YORK-Hassold Davis has
returned from a trip in which he
saw a priestess of tribe of snake
worshippers charm a vicious cobra;
attacked pack of lions with a
sling-shot; watched ice-skating on
the equator and took pictures of
Burmese leg rowers" propelling
75-foot dugouts with their feet.
He accompanied the Armand
Denis-Leila Roosevelt movie-mak-
ing expedition to Burma, India,
Nepal, China and Africa.
In Burma, he said, they picked
up an American Indian named
Michael Joseph Thunderface,
stranded from Wild West show,
who directed them to lost tribe"
Of snake worshipers near the
Siamese border. The tribe never
had been seen before by white men.
They got the priestess, Has-Pu, to
pose in a snake charming exhibi-
ton.
In Africa they photographed
lions from camouflaged car, using
antelope meat as bait to get the
lions within camera range.
The "leg-rowers" in Burma piled
the Salween river in dugouts fash
Toned from trees. The tribe was
the Initials. About 100 of them rode
in each boat, welding the paddles
with their legs
The equatorial ice skating was
done on permanently frozen lake
at Mount Kenya. Africa, 10000 feet

While political observers viii be

came about apparently ~ a result
Of Mr.. Dewey's wide heralded
opening speeches. the most obvious
political lesson h that Republi-
can sentiment " far from crystall-

rank-and-file. and that additional
changes for any candidate--either
up or down---may easily occur as
the result Of speeches. endorse
ments. campaigning and news de-
velopments at home and abroad
between now and convention time.
Another important indication Of
the plastic character Of the race s
that more than q third Of the
voters interviewed (s7et) have not
yet decided In their own minds
whom they would like to zee nomi-
mated. The number Of undecided
voters has been gradually declin-
ing In recent months. but the num-
ber without definite opinions still
remains substantial.

At least a dozen of the younger

Most of them have worked

problems of the people and of

The result is that when prob

Payments Completed
On Cuban Sugar
Program Costs
Deposit'of S604 ,4e8
Pays Off Last of
Bond Issue
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. CUBA has
completed liquidation of sugar sta
bilization Indebtedness, DR.. Jose L.
Garcia Baylleres, president of the
Cuban National Sugar Commission,
said in a weekend interview.
National Sugar Export Corp. of
Cuba has deposited with the Chase
National Bank of New York $604, ,498
for that purpose, said DR.. Baylleres.
"a total of 100000 sugar sta
bilization bonds was offered in 1880
to finance withdrawal of sugar from
the market in an effort to stabilize
prices. The issue was redeemable
through sale of segregated sugar)
DR.. Baylleres said Cuba did not
contemplate any further bond issues
of this nature.
Cuban authorities. he added.
wished to restrict sugar output next
year to around 100000 tons be-
cause of reduced world markets.
The quota allotted Cuba under the
United States sugar program would
be the principal factor in deter
mining Cuba's 1941 output.
Sugar produced for world markets,
DR.. Baylleres added, would be segre-
gated until more normal conditions
prevailed.

Wheat Markets Dull
As Receipts and
Demand Lag
Corn Is FoirIy Active
As Offerings Borely
Cover Trade Needs
By the Associated Press.

By the AsSoClateu fIess'
American wheat markets were gen.
orally dull last week, rejecting light
offerings at terminals, slow de-
mand for flour and restricted trad
ing, the Agriculture Department
reported today.
Prices we're not materially
changed.
Inquiry for corn was reported to
have been fairly active. Market
receipts were barely sufficient for
trade needs. Prices were steady,
rejecting slightly more favorable
feeding ratios.
The department said that in addi-
ton to the slow flour trade the gen.
orally favorable condition of the
domestic winter wheat crop was a
factor in the dull wheat situation.
The weeks weather was favorable
for winter wheat and in eastern
portions of the belt high tempera-
lures and ample moisture promoted
more or less growth.
In western portions Of the belt
rains and SHOWS were decidedly fav-
orable, especially in the Lower Mis-
siSsippi Valley and Southern Great
Plains. Soil moisture in Kansas,
the department said, is now
abundant in the eastern half and
southwestern quarter and sufficient
for current needs in the northwest
ern portions of the State.
In Europe the weather has been
mild recently. with rains over large
areas. Growers have continued late
seeding and present indications
point to a normal acreage of winter
crops, the department reported.
Seeding in the Balkans has made
good progress with fair increase
indicated in grain acreage. Ger
mination of early seeded wheat was
reported good.
Feed grain markets held firm as
light offerings of 4,750,0O0 bushels
at principal terminals and markets
were readily taken by shippers and
feeders. The department said feed
ing ratios, except for hogs, have
shown some improvement during
the past month, but that feed prices
in general were still relatively high
compared with prices Of livestock
and livestock products.
At Chicago December wheat
closed Saturday at $685. to 891a cents
a bushel compared with Fridays
close of 885s to 8824. December corn
closed at 6212 to 629s cents COM
pared with a previous close of 639s.
