Britain, Russia Begin
Talks on Long-Range
Barter Trade Pact
BY the kssoeioted Press

LONDON. Sept. S.-Britain and
Russia have begun TO bargain on a
long-range trade pact aimed at cas-
ing Britain's food shortage and
helping Russia rebuild its war dev-
astated factories.
This new trade agreement, like a
short-term deal now existing be-
tween the two countries, is intended
to amount virtually to barter, ex-
tending that principle of trade well
into the period when monetary ex-
changes may be expected to become
more stable.
The exchanges of goods are ex-
pected TO come out even, leaving
neither country with the necessity
of laying out hard cash to level the
international account between them
Board of Trade officials are keep
ing mum about the probable value
Of goods to be dealt with under the
new negotiations, but some observ-
ers expect it to run into the hun
dreds of millions of dollars.
The biggest things Britain has to
offer-and the things the Russians
are most eager to get-are heavy
steel products. precision instru-
ments, electrical goods and machine
tools. Britain needs, and Russia can
supply, grain, timber, fax, newsprint
and canned fish. These are expect
ed to be the principal items involved
although in past negotiations with
other countries Britain has insist
ed on selling such luxury" items as
radios as a package with heavy dur
able goods which are in much de-
mand.
/ Russian experts are expected to
arrive in London in the next few
weeks to begin talks. Basis for the
talks already mas been laid in ex-

changes between the Board of Trade
and Georgi N. Zarubin, Soviet Am
bassador in London.
Under the present agreement Rus
sia. has delivered about $4,000, ,00C
worth of grain. Britain has sent
steel rails to Russia, but Soviet con-
tracts for other heavy items have
not yet been placed and British de-
liveries under the pact amount only
to about SIS 900, 900 so far. A Board
of Trade spokesman said completion
of the remaining contracts may take
several years"

Broke Pennsylvania Town Falls Heir 10
 Millions of Dollars
By ELAINE KAHN

PERRYOPOLIS, Pa, Aug. 18-R This Western Pennsylvania mine town whose chief claim to glory was it's historical past had bright future today and an inheritance of uncounted millions.
 George Washington once owned more than 1900 acres of its land and personally suggested the plan of the town--like the spokes of a wheel.
 But when the hamlet tried to restore Washington's flour mill sev- eral years ago, the citizens couldn't raise enough money. The old mill collapsed, leaving only ruins. Today Perryopolis+proudly named for Commodore Oliver Perry-has lots of money. Just how much, it won't know until the lawyers and executors get through counting the estate of Mrs. Mary Fuller Fra zier of Philadelphia.
 The last surviving member of the Perryopolis' Fuller family. Mrs. Fra zier, died August 6 in New York Hospital at the age of 83. She left all but $210,c00 of her vast estate to the town for public improve ments."

ADM. zEU5LER CONDEMNS L055
 OF SEWARD RR

SEWARD, Aug. l9-Scrapping the Seward link of the railbelt will Kill one of the few dreams of the tourist trade, Adm. F. A. Zeusler oi the Alaska Steamship Company told the Chamber of Commerce yester- day.
 Seward is ideally located as the gateway to most beautiful section of Alaska" Zeusler declared. Alas ka would be missing the bet of a lifetime if the port was abandoned.
 Praising the Resurrection Bay city, Zeusler said the backbone for the tourist industry is already there.
 "The Gabe steak house, Soper Inn and Hentons Kenai Lodges can all be expanded to handle thousands of tourists" he said.
 The steamship official said he ap- proved the construction of the road between Seward and Anchorage, but felt the link lost the true beauty of the area.
 A one-week stopover roundtrir steamer passenger could not only observe all the color and ruggedness ot the rail trip, but could visit An chorage and then return for three or four days of fishing, hunting and hiking on the Kenai Peninsula, ht , said.

ANCHORAGE Aug. .o---Lfi-- Providing Congress appropriates sufficient money when it convenes in January, foundation and explo- ration work on the Eklutna power project will begin next spring, R c.

20 Percent Savings
In Fuel Possible

MORE EFFICIENT use of oil prod
ucts in mechanical equipment offers
farmers an important near of cut
ting production costs, according to
the oil industry information COM
mittee.
Efficiency studies conducted by
several farm schools throughout the
country, including the University of
Illinois, have produced estimates that
somewhere between 10 and 20 per-
cent of all the oil used on farms was
being wasted. This was due, this re-
port said, to improper adjustment of
engines, lack of sufficient manage
ment, and poor driving.
A power unit that is in excellent
adjustment and working at peak eff
ficiency in the spring will need an
other tune-up by the time fall plow-
ing arrives, the OIIC points out. To
save the most in fuel and time, and
to get the most effective results,
there should be a midsummer check
up of both fuel and ignition sys-

POTATOES
The II. S. department of agricul-

In the previously outlined plans for

change was made necessary by
mandatory -price-support provisions

passed late in the last session od
congress. The department at the
same time announced the price-sup-
port schedule for the late potato
crop.
The 1913 crop potato price support
program which was announced by
the department last March provided
a loan program as the only means OF
support for the late crop. Manda-
tory potato price support at 80 per-
cent of parity, as provided under the
Steagall amendment, was scheduled
to terminate on Dec 81 this year. The
program therefore provided only
loans, and required that they be ne
gotiated by Dec. 81.
