said.
The child's mother, Mrs, Carrie
Murphy, said she had left Clarence
in the playground sandbox shortly
after breakfast while she went to
her cabin. When she returned about
1920 am, the boy was missing.

Civilian Stores
Face Depletion

WASHINGTON, July Is CUP) -
Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson said today that the
United States has gone a good
distance toward the goal of an
army superior TO that Of any other
nation in organization and equip
ment.
He told the senate defense in
yestigating committee, however,
that the nations economic life and
civilian supply stores face greater
dislocation than has been felt thus
far. He was called by the commit
tee to tell Of results achieved from
expenditure of billions of dollars
for defense since fall of France in
June, 1910.
He said that expansion of the
defense effort contemplated for the
coming year will mean fewer ci-
villain automobiles, refrigerators and
so on" and the use of substitutes
in many non-defense items. But
this, he added, should result in
spreading of business among more
now-idle firms.
Il doubt that more than Is per
cent of Americas productive capa-
city is devoted to defense work,
he said. IF we expect to equal
and surpass other countries, fan
more of our. machine and labor
must be placed at the service of the
war and navy departments"
Discussing achievements of the
last year, he said the army ha:
made great progress.
Il do not claim that America
as yet is adequately armed or pre-
pared" he said, "or that we hav'
become a thoroughly stocked an,
sufficiently productive arsenal TO
ourselves and for other democrati
countries as well. But we have gon

(Sour
Studies S
lax

L. G.. Goar of the Meloland EX
pertinent station who is a recogniz-
ed flax authority of the western
states, Monday issued a review Ct
the investigation work Gone in Cali
fornia.
His report said, in part
THE two new flax diseases that
have occurred in California during
the past two years are causing all
of US considerable concern, but there
should be no great alarm about
them, as the environment of Wea-
ther conditions this past season was
extremely favorable for the develop
ment of both botrytis blight and
anthracnose disease. The division
of plant pathology is devoting time
and study to the disease problem,
and its possible that an effective
.eed treatment remedy will be found
before time for planting next fall
In case this fails, our agronomy di-
vision has a program Of plant breed
ing from which may develop a new
strain of flax that will be resist
ant or immune to California flax
| diseases. The importation or intro
| duction of new strains or varieties
| from outside the state would be
extremely unWise at this time, in
my opinion. There is a greater
chance of introducing more serious
disease through infected seed from
other regions than there is of rem
edying the diseases we already have
USE ONE VARIETY
MY advice to the grower is to
use the best Punjab seed available;
clean and free from weed seeds
with as little diseased seed in it as
possible; treat it according to in
5tructions from plant pathology di-
vision if and when they discover
an effective seed treatment remedy
and practice crop rotation, using
land that was not in flax this pas
season.
IF and when a better variet,
than Punjab c. l. 20 is discovered
it will be Immediately increased ane
distributed to the growers. In tllt
meantime we are releasing founda
ion seed from our carefully rogue(
plots at this station every year. II
this way, through our Calapprovet
Seed plan we are continuously i'm
proving our strain of Punjab flax
Our higher yields and better qualit,
testify to this fact We have de
veloped the cultivated row system o
flax culture which is very success
ful under certain conditions in I'm
oerial Valley. We have done som
work on stage of maturity of fla,
1t harvest to eliminate waste ant
.ributed to the companion crop de
gelopment by successfully planting
improve quality. We have also con
md growing flax and alfalfa to
yether."
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-15
EXAMPLE CITED

Goar concluded the review by
saying: THE flax industry in Cali
Sornia has profited by the expert
9nce of the California cotton in
iustry. 1t took county ordinances,
md state laws, and court action to
make California a one-variety cot
on state. Profiting by this eX-
ample, the best variety of flax was
determined before the first CONNER
3ial paintings were made. AS a re-
ult, we have had but few intro
luced varieties and they have been
hort lived and easy to eliminate.
1--WE have high and remarkable
purity in our Punjab flax at this
time. The high yields, high oil con-
.ent, high iodine number, and high
protein content of Punjab flaXseed
las created a good demand for our
inseed oil and linseed meal. This
S attested by the fact that a large
quantity of our linseed oil is ship
ped to eastern points to be blended
with other of lower quality produc-
ed from flaxseed grown in other
sections of the country. The Ca.
fornia flax industry is too important
to the state and nation at this
particular time for any grower to
risk the hazard of variety change
from Punjab to any other kind from
anywhere"

Hitch-Hike Murder
Inquest Held Today
In North Carolina
F. B. |. Is Cooperating
With Police of ; Stutes
In Double Staying

With the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation working with police authori-
ties of three States in an attempt
to solve the "hitch-hike murders" "
Coroner Russell Green of Morgan
ton, N. c., where the second victim
was found late Monday, today began
an inquest out of which he predicted
only one verdict could come-that
of murder at the hands of person
not yet identified.
While todays inquest concerned
only the death of T'haddeus Florkie-
wicz of Uniontown, Pa, whose bull
let-riddled body was found beside
a burning automobile on lonely
road near Morganton, Coroner Green
and police of Virginia and North
Carolina expressed the opinion that
Robert S. Divvins. until recently a
resident of Washington, met his
death at the hands of the same
unidentified man who killed Florkie-
wicZ.
Both From Uniontown.
The body of Divvins, who moved
to Uniontown, Pa, month ago,
was found, also pierced by bullets,
Monday morning near Bowling
Green, Va.
The F. B. I. entered the case on
the theory that stolen automobile
belonging to Divvins) had been
transported across State line.
Just how Divvins and Florkiewicz
got together has not been solved by
police, but they have expressed the
belief that the two met in or near
Uniontown last week end. Divvins
left Uniontown Sunday to drive to
Portsmouth, Va, where he was en-
ployed by a loan company, while
Florkiewicz supposedly left Union
town some time during the week
end supposedly for Paterson, N. j.,
to visit a sister.
Pistol Found Near Body.
Coroner Green's theory is that
the two, somehow travelling to-
gether in Divvins' car, picked up a
hitch-hiker who killed Divvins in
Virginia and forced Florkiewicz to
drive him to Morganton The 49,
caliber pistol found near Florkiew-
icz's body is similar to if not the
weapon with which Divvins was
slain. The pistol, or one similar to
it, was bought last week in Union
town by Florkiewicz, according to
Pennsylvania police.
Supporting his theory, the coro-
ner said, was the statement of Po-
lice Chief J. P. Coffey of Valdese,
7 miles west of Morganton, that
he saw two men in a coupe with
Pennsylvania plates about $3.50 pm.
Monday. The car was parked on
Valdese street, it was said, and the
man at the wheel apparently was
Florkiewicz.
