600 bushels of oats, and 955,l72, 900
bushels of wheat.
The indicated corn crop would be
the largest since 1882, about 100000
bushels more than was forecast a
month ago, about 81 ,OOO,OO0 above last
year.
The wheat estimate is the largest
since the record crop of 1916.
The production of principal vegetable
oil crops. needed to replace former i'm
ports, now seems likely, the depart
ment said to exceed earlier eXpecta-
lions by a considerable margin.
Forecasts included 100000 tons of
cottonseed, 100000 bushels of flax
seed, 100000 bushels of soybeans,
and 2.8OO,OOO,OOO pounds of peanuts,
making a total of l3,977,000 tons for
the four crops, or a combined increase
of As percent. Other crops of which
production prospects show marked in
creases include dry beans, dry peas,
sugar beets, sugar cane, and several
vegetables for canning, chiefly toma-
toes, corn and peas.
The potato crop was forecast at
78,175, 900 bushels compared with $751;
$4,000 bushels harvested last year.

State Fighter Pilot
Tells of Spending 9
Hours Adrift At Sea

An American fighter pilot, George
E. Thelen, who visited his parents in
Billings recently, related to friends
how he spent nine hours drifting in
the icy waters of the north Pacific
after his plane had been shot down
in the battle of the Aleutian islands.
Thelen's plane was shot down June
3 in the first American contact with
the enemy in the Aleutian campaign.
One member of the crew was wounded
by machine gun fire.
Members of the crew patched up the
bullet holes in the amphibian type
plane to keep it afloat and then wait
ed from 2:30 to p. m, when they
sighted another plane overhead.
I'VE lay low until we identified the
craft as American" Thelen said, land
then we sent up smoke signals"
They signaled back that they'd
seen us and would go look for help.
A while later they were back with
word that they'd contacted a coast
guard boat. At 1880 that night the
coast guard picked us up"
Thelen IS the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George J. Thelen Of Billings.

Describing growing conditions as the
best on record for this time of year,
the agricultural department reported
recently that the total volume of all
crops this year was expected to be
about 81 percent above the average
output of the decade prior to adoption
of federal crop control programs.
The department emphasized that a
record production was needed to supply
war requirements of this country and
its allies.
The favorable outlook is due pri-
marily, the department said in its
monthly crop report, to prospects that
percent above the average of the pre-
drouth 1929 period and six percent
above that of any past year.
Growing conditions during July were
said to have been outstandingly favor
able. Except for rice and sweet pota-
toes, forecasts on production for most
field crops were raised from l to
percent between July and Aug. l.
The indicated acre yield and fore
cast of total production based on Aug.
conditions, of important crops by
principal producing states include:
Winter wheat preliminary estimate)
Montana $50 and 33,8OOOOO.
Spring wheat (other than durum)-
Montana 1910 and 37,316,0O0.
Oats-Montana $50 and 100000.
The indicated acre yield and fore
cast of total production, based on Aug,
conditions, of certain crops by prin-
cipal producing states, include:
FlaXSeed-Montana 65 and 1890, 900

cations are that grain production vii

Sage Brush Is Seen
As Qllinine Source
BIZ Arizona Specialist

1t may be that w. D. Hoppe, in
ventor and former Arizona cowboy, is
the man to forestall the chills-and-
fever threat of a national quinine
shortage Hoppe has been expert
menting with black sagebrush. And
he thinks that enough quinine can be
extracted from the abundant desert
bush to backstop the shortage caused
when the far east sources were lost.
That is encouraging news, for lack
of quinine could be a severe military
handicap to cur troops fighting in
marshy and tropical countries. The
same is true of opium, whose valuable
anesthetic derivatives are vital war
necessities. The United States treasury
has supply of both drugs, and there
are some 100000 ounces of quinine
pills and powders on Americas drug
store shelves. These stocks are ade-
quate for several years normal con-
sumption. But the possibility of eX-
tensive military use makes the pros
pect less bright.
In all there are IS crude drugs
either in short supply or unavailable
because of war in the producing colln-
tries. But several of these, formerly
imported from central Europe, are
from plants that will flourish here.
Among them are digitalis, belladonna,
henbane and cascara. Others such as
cocaine, therobromine and caffeine,
can be produced in South and Central
America Castor oil, once imported
from India, is now coming from Brazil
and Haiti.

was supposed to be closed-and it was,

been instrumental in bringing about
the capture? What recognition did
they receive? Assuredly they earned
some part of the reward. Possibly
But it was not given them-not even
credit for saving the sheriffs powder.

Total Volume of All Crops
Will Top Average Fl Percent

Fruit production prospects showed
little change in July, the department
said. The combined output of peaches,
pears, grapes, cherries, prunes, april
cots and commercial apples is now
expected to be well above average, but
about percent below last years bump
er production.
The department said the favorable
growing conditions for feed crops and

Irene was Gussie' housekeeper
at the castle. She used to make my
lingerie for me on the side. Cussie
didn't mind. You see when the
war came, all Irene wanted was to
get Paul to America where he
could be safe, because his father
had been active in anti-Nazi poll
tics long time ago, but the
Nazis remember. Irene was willing
to give Paul up, and Gussie prom
ised to take him. Gussie got him
on her own passport and every
thing, Then Cussie died. Irene
stayed on at the castle, and after a
while there she was, with the
Germans streaming in. and Gussie's
papers practically under her nose.
So she just pretended to be the
Countess, and came here by way
of Lisbon"
How could she get away with
it," Jason said thoughtfully.

That was the trouble. OF course.
Irene wanted to tell him the whole

details can wait until after the

cutting Rostov off from Moscow
and the north-that is, from its
normal flow of supplies, includ-
ing the Anglo American supplies
coming in through the Arctic
ports.
There are three main lines of
railway normally connecting
Moscow and Rostov:
/. That through Kursk and
Kharkov, on which the Ger
mans have been sitting all
winter.
2. That through Yelets and
Kupyansk, which the Germans
have just cut by occupying the
latter junction point.
3. That through Ryazan.
Voronezh and Svoboda, which is
still In Russian possession and
must now be carrying almost all
the traffic.
Svoboda Logical Goal.
It is quite clear that the Ger
man penetrative effort south Of
Kursk Is directed toward the cut
ting of this third line. The fact
that the Germans report their
patrols already operating along
the Don River, whether it is
true or not, suggests the nature
of their intentions and hopes
which the Germans frequently
give away in this fashion.
Svoboda is on the Don and is
the most logical point at which
the Germans would seek to cut
the mainline railway. If they
should reach Svoboda, all rail
traffic between Moscow and Ros-
tov by direct lines would be in
terrupted. 1t would then be nee
essary to make wide detour by
way of Stalingrad
This would add several hum
dred miles to the rail haul be-
tween the two cities, would COM
pei the Russians to use lines of
inferior capacity, and would slow
down the movement of reinforce
ments and supplies to the Rostov
front because of the congestion
which would result in the Stalin-
, grad yards.

Big Increase in May

Supplies inadequate;
Store EorIy, Ickes Says
B. the Associated Press.


Notwithstanding 5,573,000-ton
increase in the Nations soft coal
stockpile during May. Acting Direc-
tor Howard A. Gray of the Solid
Fuels Office said today the amount
now in storage was not sufficient to
guarantee adequate protection
against wartime shortages.
The Bituminous Coal Division of
the Interior Department estimated
that on June l consumers held 67,-
4O9 600 tons of soft coal in storage,
against 81 1886 900 tons on May l.
Meanwhile, mine production rates
for both bituminous and anthracite
coal continued high above seasonal
levels, due principally to protective
storage by war industries. Soft coal
production for the week ended June
q was estimated at 11,375,00 tons,
an increase of 250,000 tons over. the
previous week, while 1,238,000 tons
of anthracite were mined, compared
with 1,212,OOO tons the preceding
week.
The Coal Division estimated that
soft coal in consumers storage on
June l averaged 49 days supply for
the Nation as a whole, an increase
Of six days supply over the average
on May l.
May consumption amounted to
AZ. .586 900 tons, compared with 43,-
3O6 600 tons in April, drop OF IT
per cent.
The Solid Fuels Office has advised
that to provide adequate wartime
fuel protection non-war industrial
coal users should have enough fuel
in storage to last so to 80 days. and
war industries should have 80 to
l20 days supply on hand.
Fuel Co-ordinator Ickes has
warned that householders should
store their entire supply for next
winter, getting the coal into their
bins as early as possible this sum-

The Great Game of Politics
Fronk Kent Says Roosevelt Must Be Held
Responsible if Union Wins Pay Demand

they have unequivocally taken the
position that stabilization of wages
and food products is essential to pre-
vent ruinous imitation.
Yet, in face of these things the
Labor Board panel has recommend
ed the increase, and Mr.. Murray,
with his customary breast-beating
protestations of patriotism, is pre-
dieting the full board will sustain
the panel recommendation.
Editors note: The panel did
not actually recommend an in
crease. The panel found that
economically the corporations
could pay the increase. This
might be interpreted, of course,
as tantamount to a recommended
tionD
And that would scuttle the whole
anti-infation effort.
Probably the most offensive thing
about the recommendation is the
point that, because of the "a per
cent excess profits tax, the compa-
nies would have to pay only 6 per
cent of the raise and, therefore, it
would impose no hardship on them.
What is not said is that this merely
passes 81 per cent of the raise onto
the heavily burdened taxpayer, who
somehow will have to make up to
the Government It's loss in reve-
nues from the companies.
1t is a shocking thing that, with
the Nation fighting for its life,
these professional labor leaders
should be allowed to weaken our
war effort and enhance our internal
dangers in pursuit Of their own
selfish purpose to acquire money and
power.
The consequences of their sue
cess in this case would be pretty
bad. 1t is almost incredible that
the President, with power to pre-
vent, will permit. Certainly, If he
has not enough influence with Mr..
Murray he has influence enough
with his own board to avert de-
cision so devastating to a program
he has proclaimed as vital.
There should be no CLOSING over
the responsibility. In the recent
fight to prevent the confirmation
OF Frank Hague's choice for Fed
eral judge. the Senate attack was
upon Mr.. Hague as an unsavory and
evil politician and upon Mr.. Meaney
as his tool. Practically nothing
was said about Mr. Roosevelt, who
appointed Mr.. Meaney to please
Mr.. Hague.
In brief, the basic fact was ig-
nored. And it is ignoring the basic
fact now to condemn the War La
bor Board and pass over the man
who created and controls it.
OF course, this is war. but wal
ought not to besused as a screen fol
this kind of protection. Response
bility should be placed where i
belongs. r
