Canada Ends EMBARGO
On Beef Going 10 u. 5.
BY the Associated Press

OTTAWA, Aug. 13.-Agrieulture
Minister ]. G. Gardiner announced
today the lifting of Canadian export
control of beef cattle and calves,
effective next Monday.
The relaxation applies to beef and
veal, dressed and other edible beef
and veal products, canned foods
containing meats, and meat pastes,
as well as to livestock on the hoof.
1t means the United States cattle
market, closed to Canadian beef
producers for six years, again will
be open to their products. 1t means
a greater supply of beef for tables
in the United States. 1t also means
that retail beef prices in Canada
will shoot up, possibly by as much as
20 to 80 per cent.
The ban on exports was imposed
in September, 1912, to maintain
supplies of beef for Canadian con-
sumers and to aid in the enforce
ment of price controls. Had 1t not
been put into force, Canadian beef
supplies would have drained into the
higher paying United States market,
Mr.. Gardiner also announced
that export permits now will be is
sued freely to any one wishing to
export oats and barley from Canada.
Since August l, equalization fees
formerly charged on the export OF
oats and barley have been discon-
tinued.

The information, Mr.. Schibanoff

Tolstoy, who operates a White Rus

The burly, big-handed farmer who
has lived in the United States since
1910 said the Countess feared one
of the two teachers might not be

Two top officials of this coun-

fatty denied charges that they
had ever disclosed war secrets
or helped put Communist agents
into key Government posts.

American Activities, Lauchlin Cur

TO President Roosevelt, and Harry
Dexter White, former Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury, both stated
emphatically that they had never
been members of the Communist
Party.
In contrast with some of the other
witnesses who have appeared before
the committee in its investigation of
wartime espionage activities in the
Government, both Mr.. White and
Mr.. Currie promptly answered all
questions put to them and were ap-
plauded by some in the audience in
the packed hearing room.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Babe
Ruth, baseball's ailing home run
king, showed mo improvement in
his condition" today, according to a
bulletin issued by the Memorial Hos
pital Center for Cancer and Allied
Diseases.
This contrasted with last nights
bulletin that he had rallied and
was improved.
Babe Ruth continues to run a
moderately high fever, and in gen.
eral there is no improvement in
his condition." today's bulletin said
Yesterday, his wife said, Hes
feeling better"
The hospital refused to elaborate
on the latest announcement, but
said it was logical to assume that
Ruth had not improved over yes
terday.
Ruth, the idol of two generations
of basebap fans. has been in. the
hospital since June. He has been
sick for the past two years, but his
condition suddenly became worse
Wednesday after he contracted q
cold.
His physician said the cold devel-
oped pulmonary complications and
his temperature climbed alarmingly.
