CZ eJX stjtxz Wfr By The United Press GARDEN CITY, April 16 A lull in the dust storms which have swept the Middle and Southwest with increasing frequency since February today greeted representatives of five states who came here to initiate a campaign against wind erosion. Minor dust storms were reported in a dozen Western states, afflicting sections as far apart as Southern Idaho and Southwestern Texas. None, however, equaled in intensity the devastating storm which originated Sunday in northeastern New Mexico and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. A violent wind blew down hangars at Salt Lake City, Utah, damaging several airplanes.

Blasts of sand tormented persons in the streets. A new storm struck Pueblo, yesterday, reducing visibility to zero-zero. Light dust drifted over the Oklahoma Panhandle and Western Kansas yesterday. Reclamation plans in the five states contemplate broad scale listing of eroded sections to form a barrier against prevailing winds. Thin Cloud of Dust Over New York By The United Press NEW YORK, April 16 A thin, yellow dust cloud, fringe of the western dust storms, passed over New York and out to sea early today.

Schlottman, assistant controller of Bethlehem tel, a Government witness, was completed by P. a. Shearer, of Government counsel today. Merger Traced Mr. Shearer traced details of the merger through books of Bethlehem Steel subsidiaries, a point he contends shows that the transaction did not conform to the statutory definition of a non-taxable reorganization.

In cross-examination Frank T. Hogan, chief of Mellon counsel, had the witness identify checks and records, showing that the parent corporation, the Bethlehem Steel, went into the market to buy 240,000 shares of its own stock to be used in the transaction. The subpena granted by the special division of the Board of Tax Appeals requires thu Union Trust to produce some 17 letters and documents dealing with $8,200,000 in Bethlehem Steel bonds part of the $21,000,000 transaction. Mellon Owned Stock Mr. Mellon owned 30 per cent of McClintic-Marshall and the merger did not conform to the statutory terms of a non-taxable transaction, the government claims.

Also from the Union Trust will come original letters from the Bankers Trust Co. of New York, which physically held the bonds, after the merger was completed there. A witness previously testified that four armored trucks were used to transport the bonds to the bank. An interesting sidelight in connection with the merger may come out as a result of the subpena. This concerns the refusal of the estate of George WY Corbett, a minor official of McClintock-Mar-shall, to accept the price offered for the 500 shares of stock he held.

Old Suit Recalled The result was that a suit was entered and settled for $465,000. This was practically double the amount other stockholders received. Letters concerning that settlement are to be produced under the subpena. Twice yesterday the government won favorable decisions from Ernest H. Van Fossan, chairman of the special division of the Board of Tax Appeals on the admissability of evidence.

The most important, the government claimed, was that permitting it to delve into Bethlehem Steel books and show what happened to the property acquired even after the merger was consummated. Mr. Hogan argued that Mr. Mellon could not be held responsible in any wav for book entries. submit that it is an unheard of proposition of law to say that after a contract has been made, the act of some one of the parties, apart from the other, can in any way re gen, I-, new cases of sinus infection, bronchitis and mastoid trouble.

I have seen people shaking with what is called "dust chills." Not "even jackrabbits have a chance against the dust. Better equipped than any other animal for survival in this country, thousands are dying from starvation or outright suffocation. I saw big jacks hopping about dazedly, running into soapweed stalks. They had been blinded by the dust. "The situation is the worst I ever saw," said Colonel Jack Potter, who 50 years ago blazed the famous Potter and Bacon cattle trails.

"The country will be forever ruined unless we get rain and get the grass started again."

There is not a green thing: in Cimarron County except a little soapweed and sage brush." In 1929 this county produced 3,000,000 bushels of wheat. Farmers say it will harvest only a few hundred bushels this year.

I saw farmers burning the thorns off cactus plants to make them edible for cattle. In Union County, N. the relief director, Joel P.

They have suffered hardship before, but nothing like this. Soil Rises in Air There has been no general rain in the corner sections of the five-state area since 1931. That is why the soil rises into the air with the first puff of wind. Joseph T. Brown, whose weather-beaten face attests 30 years passed in overseeing cultivation of his 10,000 acres, said wearily: "I'm sick; in 30 years we never had anything like this.

To Study Transaction Mr. Van Fossan ruled that inasmuch as the theory of the government was that the "entire picture does not appear in the contracts themselves," right would be granted to "show how the parties treated the transaction." This evidence, however, would be subject to a motion to strike from the records, if it does not develop directly into the plan of reorganization finally adopted, he said. 3 2 The dust has broken the spirit of many and the health of others.
