100000 soldiers to Rumania. Some
believe that he has at last made up his
mind to help his brother-in -arms, but
nothing is really known about it,
There are others who think that Ger
many is about to exert military pres
sure on Bulgaria.. Turkey and Yugo-
slavia in order to try to force them
into the Axis alliance. But, again.
here, nothing is definitely known.
A somewhat exciting possibili-
ty has been mentioned in con-
nectiOn with the friendly but
chilly relations between Germany
and Russia, and that is that the
German show of force in the Bal
kanS may have for its chief pur-
pose warning to the SOvietS not
to interest themselves too deep
ly in the affairs of southeastern
Europe. 1t is said that Russia,
also, is moving troops toward Ru-
mania, and if that is correct, it
would seem that Moscow is a bit
suspicious of the German inten-
ti0ns and motives.
While these moves, more or less
obscured by vague denials, are going
on in the Balkans, Great Britain ap-
parently is wooing Russia, for the
Soviet ambassador in London has had
lengthy conversation with the new
British foreign minister, Anthony
Eden, who is known to be a believer
in the idea that the Russians may be
kept neutral or even may be per-
suaded to join the British in their
war against Germany and Italy.

Survey Predicts
improvements In
|l94l Hog Prices
Lighter Storage Holdovers,
Increased Demand, May
Keep Market Higher.

Producers of market hogs can look
forward to Improvement in the price
situation during the coming year, al
though they will for time be handi-
capped by an unfavorable corn-hog
price ratio, according to a survey
of outlook information recently COM
pleted by Ernest Baughman, assist
ant extension marketing specialist at
University Farm. Hog production
dropped off 10 per cent in 1910 from
the 1889 peak year. With an unusual
ly large percentage of this years
crop marketed early and no immedi-
ate increase of narrowing in sight,
economists believe that the 1940-41
production is likely to remain fairly
constant.
Exports May Continue Weak.
Export demands for pork and lard
are likely to continue weak, but the
prospects for increased domestic con-
sumption are good.
Economists sum up the hog outlook
in this manner:
The 1910 hog crop dropped off 10
per cent from 1885, Storage stocks
of pork are not burdensome, but hold
ings of lard are twice the normal
amount for this season of the year.
An unusually large proportion OF
the 1910 spring production will move
into market channels before the first
of the year. Smaller borrowings of
fall pigs this year will also result
in higher marketings next spring and
summer.
Corn Prices May Affect Market.
High priced corn in relation to the
price of hogs, to continue for some
months, may reduce the number Of
sows kept for spring narrowing.
Export demand is likely to remain
very weak, but this undesirable con-
dition will be offset by the stronger
domestic demand arising from in
creased wage payments to industrial
workers.
The net result will probably be
materially higher hog prices in 1941
than prevailed in 1910.

There came the other day story
from Vichy, the capital of unoccupied
France-a cabled story to the effect
that Italy was about to sue Great
Britain for peace. 1t was one of
those reports which the English char
acterize as interesting if true", and
as for the possible truth back of it,,
nothing can be known here now.
But, in view of facts that are really
known, it does not sound at all i'm
probable, for Italy keeps on being
a loser in her war against Great
Britain.
Still running away from the
Greeks and the British in AL
bania, the Italians view the new
year with worry and misgivings,
and with regret that they have
been SO exasperatingly humili-
ated by Greece which is, in mill
tary sense, merely a third rate
power.
The Italian status in Libya is not
more hopeful; here the British have
cornered Mussolini's men, tw n y
thousand of them being encircled in
besieged Bardia. Although they seem
to fight with greater vigor and courage
here than in Albania, they are, by
their own commanding generals ad-
mission, hopelessly outnumbered by
the British defenders of Egypt.
Hitler Help?
The consistent defeats which the
Italians are suffering on two fronts
may explain the reported fact thai
Hitler has moved between 300, 900 an6

l5c Higher, Top 5000.

South st. Paul, Mimi, December
80, 1910. Bulk of the steer supply
today consisted of medium grade
shortfeds, according to the Federal
State Market News Service. Buyers
were insistent on effecting savings
and in a slow trade the market de-
veloped weak to mostly Csc lower.
Heifers were fully Csc lower. Cows
sold steady to weak; bulls and veal
ers were fully steady. Light sup
plies of stockers and feeders found
no change in that section. Medium
to good slaughter steers and yearlings
bulked at $3.50 to Sill. A load of
good $40 pound yearlings brought
$11.60, while several loads good medi-
umweight steers were held around
$12 and unsold late. Common and
medium heifers bulked at $3.50 to
$3.50, with load of 1856 pound heif-
ers topping the class at $10.15. Com

medium native stockers brought Sc
to $3.50.
Hogs Generally Higher.
Barrows and gifts opened the week

Most similar grades $50 to 800 pound
offerings cleared at $3.50 to $3.50
while weights from 800 to $50 pounds

.10-Year Probation
Given Mother Who
Slew Two Babies
Coed Punished ENOUGH
Says Judge; College
AbsoIved of Blame
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, Sept. 5.-Ann
Marie Hansen will pay no severe
penalty for killing her two children
at birth, and San Diego State Col
lege is cleared of any responsibility
for the 23-year-old students act.
Superior Judge Edward Kelly
placed the unmarried mother, who
pleaded guilty to manslaughter in
the double Staying, on 10 years pro-
baton. Il cannot find it in my
heart to add to the burden of this
girl-she has been punished
enough" he said.
Shortly before the probation
hearing ended Miss Hansen told
the court that a sex lecture given
to a college health educa ton class
last spring had nothing to do with
my present predicament.'
A report by County Psychiatrist
H. F.. Andrews, introduced earlier
in the hearing, quoted the young
woman as saying the lecturer, at
least by inference, had approved
trial marriages and extra marital
sex relations and that this had
tended to place her further of
guard"
College faculty members, called
by Judge Kelly for an explanation,
denied any such advice ever had
been given by a speaker at the
school, but investigation into the
matter continued until Miss
Hansen herself absolved both the
institution and the lecturer.

August Plane Output
Gain Is Not 10 Be
Expected Each Month
Big Flood of Military
Croft Won't Sturt
Until Next Summer
BY JAMES FREE,

Both Government and industry
aviation experts warned today
against undue optimism over the
record monthly high military air.
craft production of 1854 for August
reported last night by the o. P. M.
The gain of 394 planes over de-
liveries the month before was the
largest single monthly increase
shown since the defense program
began. but authorities pointed out
that there are several reasons why
comparable gains cannot be eX-
pected each month in the future.
They point out that from April
through July the total for deliveries
by military aircraft producers in
this country remained virtually
static. April deliveries were 1889.
May showed drop to 1884: June
went to 1878 and July to 1,460.
Some Craft Lack Only Propellers.
Well over 100 almost finished
planes could not be delivered for
want of propellers or other vital
single pieces of equipment, an o..
P. M. official said, or the July fig
ure might have been l.600. Had
this been the case. the August to-
tai probably would have been nearer
LOO.
The o. P. NJ. executive warned
against assumption that the record
August gain meant monthly out
put of $500 or more planes by the
end of this year.
I'VE are gratified over the 1854
deliveries last month" he said, but.
frankly, we aren't counting on more
than 1000 a month by December
We hope for more than that, Of
course. but it is best to be realistic
about the situation. BY the middle
of 1912 We should be getting 5000
to $500 deliveries monthly. How
much We get after that depends on
future plans, degree of sacrifice re-
quired of civilian industries and the
like"
Schedules" Are Relative.
AS to charges that military air
craft production is tagging behind
schedule, representative Of pri-
vate manufacturers replied that
that all depends on whose schedule
you mean
I'VE may be behind the schedules
anticipated by admins / n
spokesmen late last year and early
in I941" he said, particularly after
We had a Jump of from 972 deliv-
cries in February to 1875 in March,
but no responsible representative OF
the aircraft industry has given out
any estimates substantially ahead
of present production rates"
There have been some delays, he
said. due to strikes in airplane
plants and factories making airplane
parts. And there has been some
hindranceS because of shortage of
raw materials.
Bomber Orders Were Late.
Regarding the heavy bomber
program. assailed by Senator Byrd,
it might be well to recall that
Britain did not order any four
engine bornbers before February OF
this year. And President Roose-
velt's big heavy bomber program
was not announced until four
months ago.
Senator Byrd's figures showing
only IL four-engine bombers turned
out In June and IA in July are cor
rect. but he did not mention that
production earlier in the year had
been so to 80 month and that
during June and July plants pro-
ducing the bombers were retooling
for new models.
"Pessimism, as we'll as optimism,
can be overdone. What we need
more than anything else is a
realistic approach to the problem -
