Official u. ). Demand
For Return Of EisIer
DISPATCHED 10 London
By the Asseeioisd Press

An of1cial demand on the Brit
ish government for return of
Communist leader Gerhard Eisler
10 the United States was dispatched
to London yesterday by the State
Department.
officials said the requisition
treats the 52-year- runaway
strictly as a fugitive from justice
rather than a political refugee
which is the first issue British
authorities will have to decide.
State Department experts ex-
pressed the belief that State and
Justice Department lawyers pro-
vided in the requisition papers a
firm legal argument to use with
the British government in insist
ing on Eisler's return here.
But equally there is no doubt
here that two major points will
have to be decided by the British
themselves under terms OF the
extradition treaty between Britain
and America.
The two central questions are
these:
l. Is Eisler IN the British gov
ernment's view a Communist po-
litical refugee and therefore en-
titled to whatever sanctuary Brit
ain might offer, or is he to be
treated as a common convicted
criminal?
2. If the British government
rules he is not a political refugee,
are the accusations made against
him, in the opinion Of British
Judge, such as to warrant his ex-
tradition to the United States un-
der terms of British law and the
Anglo-American treaty?
Here is the Eisler situation at
the moment:
Eisler left New York on the
Polish vessel Batory two weeks
ago facing Jail on conviction Of
passport fraud and contempt OF
Congress. He skipped out while
he was free on bond pending ap-
peal.
At Southampton, England, the
United States obtained warrant
for Eisler's arrest as fugitive
from justice. He was taken of
the Polish ship by British officers.
The fugitive charges was one the
American Government had to sup
port or drop quickly.
District Court here issued a.
bench warrant for Eisler's arrest,
saying he had been found guilty
OF perjury by making fraudulent
statements under oath in his pass
port application. Eisler's attorney
protested such wording in thet
warrant, and had it changed to-
say simply that he was convicted
Of making false statements.
This is a key point in the fight
5etween the American government
and Eisler. The government says
that making false statements un-
der oath constitutes perjury and
that was the position it took, off,
cials said. In the reauisition papetsl
forwarded to London yesterday
But Eisler's lawyers evidently in
tend to argue that lis not so.
The requisition papers will go
to the British Foreign Office, and
are expected to reach there to-
morrow or Tuesday. The For
eign ONCE will turn them over
to James Chuter EIDE, British

ants here said. Is to decide wheth-
er Eisler is a political refugee.
If he says YES" Eisler goes free;
If mo-" then Eisler goes to Lon
don's Bow Street court and the
British government tries to get
the court to order him sent back
to the United States.
The extradition treaty covers
perjury as a reason for removing
a man from one country to the
other but it does not say anything
in so many words about making
false statements.

County Agent M. E. Hill says
the average yield in Humphreys
now will run around 20 bushels
per acre, but that a 60-acre yield
is possible. "The beans viii grow
on any soil that cotton VIII grow
on, Hill says. They like moisture
and will thrive In buckshot SOIL
which when wet is not good tor

Hill says soybeans do not re-
spond to ammonia fertilizer but
are soil builders themselves, and
may be turned under after har-
vesting. Usual harvesting time is
in October, with paintings In the
Spring and early summer.

DELTA SEES HOPE in w
SOYBEAN, FIRST MILL OPENS

The rich, cotton growing Delta,
feeling the effects OF a short 1919
o has Just taken another step
for freedom from Kin6 Cotton's
rule, and this time it's the lowly
sovbean which is ''muscling" in on
the old sovereign's domain.
Many a small cotton farmer has
been looking around for some
time now for a new and more de-
pendable crop for his rich but
tricky land, and the soybean al
ready is solving that problem for
an adventurous few.
In 1913, for instance, the Delta.
harvested 1~,463,750 bushels of
soybeans from 10000 acres, de-
spite limited local markets. But
interest in The bean has increased
with epidemic like speed and 1949
NAV witness the heaviest acreage
vet in this easy-to-raise, economi-
cal crop.
Optimism for the soybean's flu
ture has been most strongly mani
fest, however by a group of citi-
zens in Humphreys county, where
an estimated 5000 acres will be
planted with the legume in 1850.
The Humphreys group backed
up their belief in the future of the
soybean by putting up hard cash
for construction of the states first
soybean solvent extraction plant.
Located at Belzoni, the $685.
900 Belzoni Oil Works, Inc, which
uorz-tIK ,,ant into nnnrnffnn
is capable of processing about 80
tons OF soybeans per day. Twenty
10000 bushel capacity elevators
will provide storage space for
about 200, 900 bushels of beans.
The mill expects to process around
600, 900 bushels annually.
Today the producer is paid on
the average of. $40 per bushel,
right at the mill, for his crop, de-
pending on current prices.
In the first stage Of processing
the bean is cracked and reduced
to flakes, which then pass through
a hexane solvent, very similar to
cleaning fluid, which extracts all
but about one per cent of their oil.
Each bushel of soybeans passing
through the process will produce
about 10 pounds of oil, which
averages around 9h cents a pound
The Belzoni mill furnishes the oil
to refining plants in Chattanooga,
Atlanta, Memphis and at other
points in the South.
Considered one of the best
edible oils, it Is used in the manu-
facture of soaps and paints and
varnishes, the latter because OF its
quick drying qualities.
Agricultural authorities also
consider the residue after process
ing to be one Of the best livestock
feeds available, being SO per cent
digestible, compared with 81 per
cent for cottonseed. Soybean meal
also has a "A per cent protein con-
tent, compared with Al per cent
for cottonseed.
n. H. Gantz, a former 1owan
who is general manager OF the Bel
zoni mill, says that already they
are shipping such feed to Texas
A. & M. where it Is used for feed
ing livestock.
One Of the biggest soybean pro-
ducers In Humphreys county to
day 81. s. Stoner of Holly Bluff,
vice-president Of the corporation,
who has been making a study OF
the bean for the past 10 years and
who is considered an authority.
Stoner, a veteran cotton planter,
expects to devote $500 acres of his
plantation to soybeans again this
year, preferring 1t to cotton as
crop.

Biggest drawback to increased
production right at this time Is
the governments crop allotment
measures. However, Agent Hill
says his county expects to have at
least $4,000 acres planted In soy
beans in 1850.
Belzoni's newest industry is
typical of the type Of professors
needed throughout the state to
provide ready markets for agricul-
tural products and natural re-
sources, according to w. E. Barks-
dale, director of the Mississippi

such plants through private local
financing" MIR. Barksdale said

 PLANE CRASH
CAB Makes Report on CaIi- fornia Disaster : Stew-
 ardess Gives Views

LOS ANGELES, July l4-tR- Civil Aeronautics Board officials say that low flying and not a fight caused the crash and explosion of a non-scheduled airliner which cost 35 lives and injuries to IA.
 Stewardess Charlotte Grenander, 23, told authorities yesterday that the scrap aboard the Standard Air lines twin-engine GAG Commando was only a one-punch affair. She said it occurred an hour before the crash in the rugged Santa Susana mountains 30 miles north of down. town Los Angeles Tuesday.
 She named Frank Conway, AL bany, NY, who was killed, as the man who struck his seatmate. Miss Grenander added that there was no trouble after the pilot, Capt. Roy G. White, came back and talked to Conway.
 James N Peyton, regional CAB chief, said the aircraft was on course for an instrument approach landing at Lockheed Air Terminal, Burbank, but was 2000 feet too low. He said a smashed altimeter regis tered 1940 feet.
 Peyton added that the low fog may have obscured the pilots vision, although fog was not be- lieved to have been abnormally heavy.

Roden Makes Proposal that Territorial Banks Help Out
 In Present Financial Crisis

ANCHORAGE, July l4.-tR-An- chorage attorneys are studying the legality of proposal for Alaska banks to come to the aid of the Territorial government during it's present financial crisis. Henry Roden. Territorial Treas urer, has proposed that banks loan money to individuals and firms with Territorial warrants as collat- eral security.
 "The Territory has a deficit of about a million dollars in the gen. eral fund" the Treasurer declared. The Board of Administration has frozen almost six million dollars in expenditures. It can be pre- dicted that tax revenues will be sufficient to pay off the deficit by the end of the year"
 Tn an effort to keep territorial institutions operating, Roden pro- posed the Territory pay it's credi- tors in warrants. They in turn could borrow from Alaska banks with the warrants as security.
 "The Board of Administration from the Governor down pledged to request the next legislature to au- thorize payment of interest on the vouchers he said. '"Of course, we cannot promise that interest will be paid because the Legislature must decide"
 Bankers from various cities con- ferred with Roden here yesterday on the legality of financing the program presented to lawyers for decision today
