Big Four Progress
On Trieste But Hill
Snag on Withdrawal
Molotov Agrees to Give
Governor Supreme Powel
Accord Being Drufted
BY the A,sosiu,sd pres,

= =
NEW YORK, Nov. is. - The
Council Of Foreign Ministers
made progress today toward a
solution on the thorny issue OF
control of Trieste, but ran into a
new snag on the deadline for re-
moval Of occupation troops.
A three-flour session ended with
the decision to turn over to French
Deputy Foreign Minister Couye de
Murville the problem of drafting an
agreement on the issue OF who
should control Trieste police-a point
which Secretary of State Byrnes has
termed essential to a solution on ad-
ministration of the ancient Adriatic
port, and to the prestige of the
United Nations.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotoy
apparently in conciliatory mood
agreed to supreme powers for the
governor of Trieste, departing from
his demand for a sharp reduction In
power for the governor, who would
operate under the guidance of the
United Nations Security Council
This had been the chief issue before
the question of the troops removal
fiared,
Mr.. Molotov in showdown session
yesterday agreed that the governor
should have the right to approve the
appointment Of the police chief of
Trieste and final authority over the
police in the event of an emergency
The question now is the wording OF
the agreement on police control, and
persons present at today's delibera-
tions viewed the developments with
guarded optimism.
Mr.. Molotov once again raised
the question of the removal of occu-
patton troops by pressing to have
the foreign ministers fix definite
date for the withdrawal.
Neither Britain nor the United
States has indicated willingness to
accede. Both Mr.. Byrnes and
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
have maintained that the troops
can be withdrawn only on the order
of the Security Council and after
the governor Of Trieste has built
up force to maintain order in the
internationalized zone.
Mr.. Couve de Murville will pre-
sent the drafted document to the
foreign ministers when they 60 into
their next huddle at 4 pm. Monday.

zens and dominates them in all
fields of human behavior"
The criticisms of the Soviet were
contained in an official pronounce

RADIO BEACON FOR
AIR TRAVEL NEAR
COMPLETION HERE
Steel Tower With Building Atop
On Harry Gehrisch Farm
East Of Town
Beacon In Wheat Field At
Intersection OF Two Prin-
cipal Air Routes !

A spot in a wheatfield on the
Harry Gehrisch farm in Orange
township, four and one-half miles
east of Bluffton on State Route I03,
is destined to become an important
landmark in air travel, and a federal
radio beacon is nearing completion
on the site.
Now visible from the highway is
12-foot square metal building 80
feet in the air on a steel tower
which marks the crossroads" of
important north-south and east-west
airlanes.
Erection of the building by Civil
Airways Administration of the Fed
eral Department of Commerce is the
first step in establishing the radio
beacon for the direction of air traf-
fic.
INSTALL RADIO EQUIPMENT
Radio equipment soon will be in
stalled in the completed building
atop the tower following which the
beacon will be put into operation.
Power to operate the equipment will
be supplied by electrical lines.
Another metal building, Is by 36
feet, at the base of the tower will
house an electric generator and gas
oline motor, which automatically will
provide current in case of failure
of the power line. This will insure
uninterrupted operation of the bea-
con in any kind of weather.
When in operation, the beacon will
provide a radio signal to aircraft,
whereby the pilot can tell if he is
on course. In effect the equipment
is to air traffic what road signs are
to motorists.
AIR CROSSROADS" ON FARM
Plans are being made, it is re-
ported, to establish a radio. beacon
about every rs miles along principal
airlines. The crossroads" on the
Gehrisch farm mark the intersection
of principal air routes south from
Detroit and east from Ft. Wayne.
Tests to determine the site of the
beacon here were made at the Black
school, at the intersection of Routes
90 and 103, one-half mile west of
the Gehrisch farm. Construction of
the buildings and tower has been
under way since last spring.
The beacon is three miles east of
a new Bluffton airport being devel-
oped by Clayton Bixel for G. /. fly
ing instruction. 1t will be serviced
and administered from Findlay.

Drought Menaces Farm Crop Yields
AS Dry Weather Enters Sixth Week
Heavy Rains Must Bring Relief
Soon or Crop Prospects
Will Be Sharply Cut
Showers During Last Week Lay
Dust; July Driest in Last
Six Years

Farm crop yields are seriously
threatened, home garden plots are
parched and lawns are turning
brown, as drought conditions brought
on by the driest July in six years
entered the sixth week last Satur-
day.
Showers last Sunday and a light
sprinkle early Tuesday barely did
more than lay the dust, and provid-
ed no relief to conditions that are at
the critical stage so far as farmers
are concerned.
Weather bureau reports show that
the past month was the driest July
since 1910, with only .92 inches of
water falling during the prolonged
dry spell. This is 2.81 inches below
the 3.75-inch normal average for
July, and increased the seven-month
deficiency for this year to AIS
inches.
Heavy rains must come soon, OF
corn, soy beans, late potatoes anc
sugar beets will show the effects In
this falls harvest yields, and dairy
farmers report that their parched
pasture lands already are prac-
tically worthless so far as grazing is
concerned.
Until rainfall Sunday afternoon
a constant grass fire menace pre-
vailed thruout the Bluffton district
and one confagration on the Myron
Motter farm, near the Oliver Zim-
norman barn off Main street, had to
be extinguished by Bluffton firemen
at LAS p. m. last Friday.
A driving rain west of Mt. Cory
last Sunday afternoon brought
drought relief to that section, but a
hail storm which accompanied the
downpour caused extensive damage
to corn.
