Return Of Stand|ey
Seen as Preliminary
To Iripahite Talks
By the Associated Press

os Inc associated Press.
In a step possibly preliminary
to three-power conference Of
high American, British and so-
Wet representatives, Admiral viii
liam H. Standley, United States
Ambassador to Moscow, is COM
Ing home to make a personal
report to Secretary of State Hull
and President Roosevelt.
His imminent return was made
known yesterday by the State De-
partment which said it was for con-
sultation in connection with discus
sions being carried on with the Brit
ish and Soviet governments.
Department spokesmen were non
commital when asked whether Ad-
miral Standley would 90 back to
Moscow after his consultations here
are completed. But in view of per-
sistent reports he might be replaced,
and the fact that he has been
quoted more than once as wishing
to avoid another winter in Russia, it
was considered here that his return
to Moscow Is problematical at best,
His recall to Washington came as
reports-nowhere officially confirmed
piled up in London that the three
powers had definitely decided to hold
a conference Of foreign ministers at
Moscow.
Meanwhile, the possibility of Sec
retary Hull attending such a confer
ence with Foreign Minister Vyach-
eslav Molotov and Anthony Eden re-
manned in doubt.
Admiral Standley, who went to
Moscow as Ambassador in March.
1912, created something of a furor
last winter when he declared the
Russian people were not being in
formed OF the amount of lease-lend
help America was sending their
government.
His return here will provide Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
with first hand personal report on
the latest Russian attitude regard
ing the proposed three-power con-
ference and the scope of its agenda.

Among Democrats, Pravda said,

Roosevelt, although some Southern
Democrats opposed a fourth term.
Other potential Democratic candi-
dates were listed as Senator Byrd of
Virginia, Vice President Wallace
and War Manpower Commissioner
McNutt.

Newest I.V. Crop
Gives Big Yield

Imperial Valleys newest crop,
waxy club haffir corn. which is be-
ing grown as substitute for I'M
ported tapioca. is expected to yield
more than a ton an acre when 1t Is
harvested around Dec. l, it was re-
vealed Tuesday.
G.. H. LeDioyt who represented
the General Foods corporation in
making contracts with valley farm
ers to plant the crop the first time
it has been grown commercially in
the United States. Inspected the
fields of waxy club Monday and
Tuesday. He said the crop was
making satisfactory progress and is
expected to be in excellent condi-
ton by harvest time. A total OF
700 acres are planted to the crop
this year.
The yield will be marketed in the
valley, milled in Jefferson, Mo-,
made into starch at Keokuk. Ia,
and made into tapioca in Orange,
Mass. The company had to utilize
the plants wherever they could
find them as it was not possible to
build them, lie Dioyt said.
It was necessary to grow the
tapioca substitute in the United
States this year as the war cut off
the usual source of supply in the
Orient.
