Soviet Official Freed
On Fur Coat Theft Charge
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCldttu fFtSS-
SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-Mu-
nicipal Judge Twain Nicholson yes
terday dismissed burglary COM
plaint against Capt. Nicolai Habalov,
al, member of a Soviet government
purchasing commission, who had
been accused of theft of a 1895 fur
coat here.
Can't. Habalov, who said he for
merlv commanded the Soviet mer-
chant feet in the Baltic, was ar
rested two weeks ago in the early
morning hours. He was carrying a
silver fox coat. He told the arrest
ing officers he had found the coat
on the sidewalk and was taking II
to police headquarters nearby. the
coat carried a tag showing 1t came
from a fur store, the window OF
which had been broken.
In dismissing the complaint, Judge
Nicholson said that when Capt
Habalov's position and character
was considered, the element OF PROB
able cause favored MIN. The Jurls'
commented there was sufficient dls-
crepancy in the case to lead to the
conclusion that the captains story
was true.

Local Permits Not Needed

PHILADELPHIA, July Limited
States District Judge J. Cullen
Ganey ruled yesterday that the
Federal Public Housing Authority
does not have to comply with local
building regulations in the construc-
tion of either permanent or tenn
porary" houses.
The decision was handed down in
a suit filed by Chester Pa munich
pal authorities who arrested Renato
D'Avito, New York, superintendent
for the contractor, Domenico Le-
cascio. Pleasantville, N, Y, because
the contractor had not obtained a
building permit for the construction
of $50 temporary" homes for col
ored workers.
James A. Devlin. Chester building
inspector, said the houses violated
the municipal building code. Assist
ant United States Attorney Joseph
E. Gold contended that the struc-
lures would be built along lines con-
sidered by the FPHA as safe and
sanitary.

Nations Crop Prospects Appear Brighter,
But Yield Is Expected to Be Below 1912

considerable switching from orna-
mental to edible plants.
The survey across the continent
disclosed wide variations in pros
poets.
In Kansas, where mid-May floods
destroyed about 100000 acres Of
crops, wheat yield expectations we're
revised downward. Oklahoma looked
for a substantial upturn in the meat
supply, = phenomenal gain in eggs
and increases In dairy products, but
a shorter wheat harvest. Floods there
dealt a hard blow to potatoes. Mis-
souris agriculture commissioner
predicted the losses from flood and
rain might run from IS to 40 per
cent of the normal production.
Nebraska's Outlook Good.
Nebraskas crop and livestock out
look was good. In Michigan, the
State Farm War Board figured sugar
beets, beans, soybeans and oats
would fail to meet goals, but the
wheat aims probably would be sur
passed. North Dakota expected to
top last years marks In wheat, oats
and barley.
South Dakota enjoyed an expan-
sion In livestock and poultry, but
dry early season may cut down crops
20 per cent in some areas. Indiana
was confronted with a short pack
In peas, corn and tomatoes.
Less grain and fewer peaches and
apples were in view In Ohio. I'LL
nois lost between $50 900 and 300, 900
productive acres through floods.
Soybean prospects were above av-
erage there, while an average yield
of oats and only half the average
Of winter wheat we're sighted. In

important contribution to the Ma
tons larder--is expected to come
close to, or equal, the record 1912
output.
California Sees Big Harvests.
The consensus was that Iowa
could come through with approxi-
mately a normal tonnage Of food
stuffs. California looks for big fig,
grape, apple, bean, barley and rice
harvests, but a sharply reduced yield
Of apricots and sugar beets.
The outlook for the Far West in
general is fair; that Is, an output
above prewar years but below war
time needs. Huge bean and potato
crops were envisioned. Utah dou-
bled its hog holdings. but poor
ranges darkened the cattle picture
in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
The South set its agricultural
sights at an all-time high, but bad
weather intervened in some States.
Arkansas produced more beans,
tomatoes and potatoes than IN 1912.
In fertile Florida the extension
service opined the State would do
as well or better than last year II
nature co-operates Georgia figures
on the largest peanut crop In his
tory, but cold cut the peaches by
two-thirds. South Carolina con-
templates better production than in
1912, but Virginia invisions IS pei

Maine Expects Increase.
Maine looks for an increase In
essential crops If the weather is
propitious. A normal potato harvest
was in view in New Hampshire
Vermont increased its potato plant
ing by ne-third, but a bad, spring
may bring the harvest down. Vege-
table and potato yields may show
substantial gains in Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island may turn out more
poultry and vegetables. Connecti-

New Canadian Naval
{, Station 10 Graduate
First Class Soon
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HIM. C. s. CORVALLIS, DEEP
BROOK, Nova Scotia, July T.
Canada's small but hard-hitting
! navy will soon get its first seamen,
. gunners and stokers from a. new
s12o00,00o naval training base estab-
lished here early this year on the
shores of the Annapolis Basin.
First recruits arrived at the sta
ton late in June to begin an inten-
sive 1o-week training course at the
large tract which the Canadian
government purchased from the
estate of the late E. P. Morse for
$4,000.
Although construction of the 80
buildings which will house the
various schools is not yet completed,
there were at the end of June 3,444
trainees, of which 147 were officer
candidates and 60 WRENS taking
specialized courses, in addition to
1,400 civilian construction workers.
Work on the base is rapidly near
ing completion and when the school
is filled to capacity it is expected to
have a complement of 10000.
Canada started the war with only
a small number of ships, but has
assumed an ever-larger share of
patrol and convoy work in the North
Atlantic, and the Department of
Naval Services was hard pressed to
train the volume of recruits needed
to man the expanding navy.
Deep Brook was chosen as the site
for a training station not only be-
cause of its climate and geographical
position near the Bay of Fundy, but
because the soil lent itself to eco
nomical construction.
Capt. J. c. l. Edwards, r. C. NJ.
Nova Scotian and graduate of the
old Royal Naval College of Canada
at Halifax, is commanding officer of
the base. Comdr. E. A. Mount-Haes

Associated Press Stan Correspondent.
CHICAGO, July farm produc-
tion-the No. / indicator OF how
much Americans will have to eat
has been favored recently by bene-
fetal weather, but 1t is expected to
fall short of the tremendous 1912
output.
How far it will be under the
bumper level depends upon climatic
conditions, the harvest labor supply,
available stocks of feed and other
factors, but Marvin Jones, the new
war food administr rator, has stated
there would be enough food for u
'healthful diet"
In sight at the present time are
less grain, vegetables and fruit than
last year, but more meat animals.
A better balance of late between
sunshine and rain offset to great
degree the pessimism occasioned by
excessive spring precipitation and
floods in the Midwest, rain and cold
in the East and drought in some
Southern and Southwestern sections
The Improvement has been wide
spread but not general and some
skittish folks among the rural resi-
dents win continue to clutch good
luck charms until the frost is on
the pumpkins.
Corn Causes Concern.
A Nation wide check of farmers,
professors and State and Govern
ment officials by the Associated
Press showed there was considerable
concern over the important corn
crop. 1t was planted as much as a
month late because of protracted
May downpours. 1t has been thriv-
ing lately, but some experts warn
that an early freeze would prove
disastrous.
The latest Agriculture Depart
ment report indicated that less
wheat, rye, oats and barley would
be gathered this year than last.
Moreover, the estimated wheat pro-
duction (730,524,000 bushels and the
probable rye production 1884 900
bushels) would fail to equal the
l0year 1924 average.
Meat--current cynosure of NIL
lions of covetous eyes-offers a
much more optimistic set of sta
tistics. The trade seems agreed that
the meat animal population is
larger than ever before.
More Meat on Hoof.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics figured there were $4,000 900
cattle on ranges and farms January
/, 1943, an increase of 5000, 900 over
the year before: reckoned the 1943
pig crop at 125,000. 900. or 10000, 900
more than in 1912, and computed
sheep and lambs at 55,000,000, a
slight decrease.
But the scarcity of feed for live
stock, poultry and dairy herds has
cast a cloud of uncertainty over the
bright background of the picture.
Difficulty in obtaining feed was re-
ported in all major sections of the
Nation.
Because of the shortage. milk pro-
duction dropped in New York, New
Jersey, California and New Hamp-
shire. Some farmers sold their dairy
COWS in Ohio. The tight situation
may lead to liquidation Of much
stock in Kansas and may offset the
increase in Michigan's livestock

pany, Philadelphia.
He has had quite , nfc story and
1t is completely American and one
OF which both DIR. Thorek and
America should be proud.
DIR. Thorck was born in Hum
gary. His father was Il physician
and his mother Il midwife, so. as
he says, from birth Acsculapius
had marked him for his own.
Early Life
When he came home from the
gymnasium at Budapest, in 1897.
he walked into Il pogrom in his
native village, and his family were
threatened. Reluctantly and sadly
they came to the conclusion that
they must cmigratc to America.
HIS father and mother were bro
ken hearted TO leave their old
home, but young Thorck was all
enthusiasm and excitement.
There was Uncle Bernard in
America. He had emigratcd some
years before and he was living in
the rich city of Chicago and he
himself was fabulously rich. Uncle
Bernard would help them and set
them straight
Alas for that European naivetc
which believes that all Americans
are rich. Uncle Bernard, it was
found when they finally arrived in
Chicago, was almost as poor as
he had been when he lived in Hun
gary. He could not help them at
all.
The father and mother never
adjusted themselves to the new
world, but young Thorck plunged
into its activities. lie worked his
way through Rush Medical School
by playing the drum in an orches-
ira. And by such perseverance he
rose in time TO the highest rank
in his profession.
