Expect $500
TO Fill Out
MeafForms:

sMore than $4,000 Michigan
wheat growers are expected to
fill out applications during the
month of August for Federal
"All-risk" Crop Insurance on
their 1912 wheat crop. Crop In
surance, offered only for wheat
and cotton at the present time,
guarantees an insured farmer at
least IS per cent. of his average
yield against loss caused by nat
ural hazard.
To date, more than IT'S Ma
comb County farmers have ap-
piled for wheat crop insurance
end total of $50 applications
is expected in the county by
August 81, the deadline for ap-
plications. according to Harlan j..
Townsend. crop insurance super
visor for the Macomb County
Triple-A Committee.
August 81 was set as the dead
line date for accepting crop in
surance applications because a
farmer must fill out an applica-
ton before planting his crop if
he wants crop insurance and
most of the wheat in Michigan is
planted in September.
Townsend said he expected an
increase in the number of in
sured farms this year because of
the relatively favorable wheat
price due to the Government
wheat loan program, which as
sures cooperating farmers IS per
cent of parity loans.
The premium rate, which Is
computed in terms of wheat, is
fixed for an individual farm ac-
cordinR to the risk involved in
growing wheat on that particular
farm.

LqyoHDispute
Closes Walt
Disney Studio

OLOS ANGELES, Aug. 19-
(P-Walt Disney Studio, which
operated through a strike of the
Screen Cartoon Guild, has
closed for two weeks because
of a dispute with the union
over which men shall be laid
off due to a curtailed market.
Under Observation-Disclosures
terms which ended the 60-day
strike only two weeks ago, the
AFL-Guild agreed that the
studio might lay off men no,
actually needed for current
cartoon productions.
The studio listed 266 men for
the layoff. The union charged
that ESQ of these were strikers
that the studio Disseminated
in making up the list, and
threatened to strike If it were
not revised.
Gunther Leasing, Disney at
torney, said strikers outnum-
bered strikers about four
to one on the layoff list. Disney
is in South America.
I'VE had too big a payroll
About $50 men were shooting
craps and playing poker all day
on company time. We had no
alternative. so we closed for
two weeks" Leasing said in a
statement.
He stated the layoff question
had been referred to DR.. John
r. Steelman. Federal Labor
Conciliator and would be sub.
mitted to James F. Dewey. Re-
gional Conciliator who arbitrat-
ed the strike, as soon as Dewey
RECEIVERS from illness. Dewey
is in a Detroit. Mich. hospital.
The Guild demanded that the
studio select half of the men to
be laid off from nonstrikers and
half from strikers.
Leasing said the studio could
not do this.
THE backbone Of our en-
ployes were not among the
strikers. he explained. Most
of the strikers were students,
in -betweeners and traffic boys.
Only two or three animators
walked out.
I'VE can't function without
key men"
DR.. Steelman suggested that
the union accept temporarily
the studios list for layoffs. The
list would be submitted to De-
wey as soon as he Is able to re-
turn. The union refused.
The unions plan of laying
off a nonstriker for a striker
would be like laying off an ex-
ecutive for an office boy"

Prisons Fight
Sex Problem
Mexieon System
Considered in v. S.

BY RENNIS TAYLOR

oSAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 49,
(P-A suggestion that authori-
ties consider the use of conjugal
visits, an old Mexican custom, to
combat the sex problem which
is acute in most penitentiaries,
was made before the American
Prison Association today by Dr.,
Norman S. Hayner, University
of Washington sociology profess
sOr.
This practise Is realistic
method of meeting the sex situa-
ton, it combats homcsexuality
and often changes the entire be-
havior of he prisoner" Hayner
asserted.
1t is utilized in varying de-
grees by all of Mexico's main
prisons, and somewhat extern
sively in jails and other places
of confinement. At the IslaS Ma
rias, Mexican west coast penal
colony, convicts with good rec
ords can have their families with
them or can marry and live do
mestically normal lives, Hayner
reported.
In the main prisons the visits
are limited to two hours week.
Private cells are provided. In
most places the women must
pass medical examinations. Evil
dence of marriage is not neces-
sary.
Usually a prisoner may be Wis.,
tied only by the same woman
each time but there are instances
in which a change of companions
can be arranged. The practise
has become commercialized to
some extent in the larger pris-
ons. Hayner reported, due to the
necessity for tipping the guards.
Prof. Hayner, who was born
in China and who has stdoied
prison systems all over the
world, completed his survey of
Mexican penitentiaries only two
weeks ago.
While in Mexico City, he re-
ported, he and Mrs. Hayner per-
mitted their Mexican woman
servant to have q day off for
a conjugal visit.

Jobs Urged
for Negroes
in Defense

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10
R-A plea for wider use Of the
negro in defense work came from
Federal Security Administrator
Paul v. McNutt as leaders OF
Labor and Industry gathered to-
day to discuss with him the prob
lem of job dislocation caused by
the priorities system and stop
ping of silk imports from Japan.
Let racial prejudice fly out
of the window in tackling the
job of building Americas de-
fense," declared McNutt in an
interview. There has been q
vicious circle so far as the ne
gro worker is concerned"
Immediate problem of the con-
ference in which he joined with
Is national corporation heads, a
similar number of labor chief
tains and representatives OF the
office of production management
was plight of silk workers-re-
training and rehiring them in de-
Tense work. Another topic was
sub-contracting upon defense
projects.
The gathering is the first of its
kind to attempt to solve indus
trial and labor dislocations. Di-
version of idle silk workers is
only part of a broad plan for all
industry. Those in charge have
indicated If the move here sue
ceeds similar regional confer
ences may be held throughout
the country.
Pointing out Is per cent of all
basic defense contracts have
been allotted Philadelphia con-
Germs, McNutt predicted indus
try here would need 100000
more skilled workers within the
next few months and that at
least $4,000 would be imported
into the area to meet the need.
Calling for hiring of negroes, he
declared:
Employers contended negroes
had neither the training nor ex-
perience for industrial work.
Yet, without getting into it.
there was no chance for them to
get training or experience. We
broke this circle by training the
negro vocationally and now
there are many of them ready
for jobs. But, despite shortages
of skilled workers, they aren't
getting the jobs.
Prejudice is much worse in
Philadelphia and generally
north of the Mason Dixon Line"
asserted the Security Admins
traitor. He said the South had
known the value of the negro
worker for generations and used
him freely.
GAS matters stand here" OBJ
served McNutt, 1T is a sad and
short-sighted policy and one
from which we must turn away.
Skills are needed and there is no
color line when it comes to
skil1s."

u. S. MARINES PUT
BLOOD BROTHERS,
IN SAME PLATOONS
Saneune Experiment Looks Ahead to Hazardous Fighting
BY PAUL HARRISON

0x kAOh uASR10ON
NEA Service Staff Cssssspssdsst
SAN DIEGO, April 8EYou've
been hearing . lot about army
buddies and navy shipmates. but
the first of our armed services
to establish q real blood kinship
among its men is the U. s. Mar
Inc Corps.
The new relationship is literal
ly true, and like q lot Of situa.
tons in preparedness, II is both
grim and measuring. It antici-
pates the most hazardous kind
of warfare, but at the same time
tries to add new measure Of
life security for the rough, tough
over-and-at-'em go-to-hell Mar
ines. Along with the navy, they
would be the first to move; but
the leathernecks alone would be
first to reach enemy soil.
The mission of the Marines In
wartime is entirely aggressive
to seize land positions in sea-to-
shore action, and told them until
army defense forces arrive. It's
the most dangerous job In the
world as witness Germany's
hesitancy about trying to invade
England. 1t is assumed from the
beginning that casualties in any
landing operations will be high.
and that's where the brother
hood of blood comes in.
The blood of every United
States Marine Is being classified
-as Type A, Type B, or Univer-
sal o. In virtually. every case,
each man is being assigned 70 .
platoon composed of men Of the
same type of blood. Col. John
