Alfred Henke, veternn transatlantic flyer who commanded the flight. "We thought we merely were doing our duty and hence were unprepared for such a reception." There was an absentee Sunday at the reception at Templehof aidrome.

She was Frau Alfred Henke, wife of the flight commander, and her reason was purely domestic: She expects the birth of a baby Monday. Captain Henke confided to friends that If it is a girl her name will be "Condora" for the condor-type German passenger plane in which he made the nonstop transatlantic flights. Adolf Hitler telegraphed the flyers from his Berchtesgaden retreat: "I am much gratified at your brilliant success. Best wishes." The flyers said they had no trouble whatever with the Brandenburg's motors; not even a sparkplug had to be changed. In fact, they felt so certain of their plane that no insurance was carried on it.

Then referring to memoranda which the state department has released purporting to show advantages of trade concessions to various states, Hamilton said -they contained "literally hundreds of deceptive and, in some cases, inaccurate statements." He said one of these pamphlets reported that in 1937 exports of unmanufactured tobacco to Cuba were 446.000 pounds. Records of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce showed, he declared, that "we exported none whatever to Cuba In that year," Instead importing pounds. Contending relative figures on foreign trade Issued by the state department Invariably were misleading, Hamilton suggested comparisons show all the years since 1929 and added: "In 1937, our exports, in dollar value, to non-trade agreement 'countries were 65.7 per cent of the 1929 level, while to trade agreement countries our exports were but 63.5 per cent of the 1929 And in 1937 our Imports from the non-trade agreement countries were 68.3 per cent ol the 1929 level while from trade agreement countries our imports were 73.1 per cent of the 1929 level." Hamilton expressed the opinion that "excessive trade barriers do promote world unrest," but contended the "only way to lower them is through a multilateral agreement." He said this was why President Hoover had promoted the London economic conference in 1933 which, he added, was "scuttled" by President Roosevelt.

Sullivan said a "fearless Investigating committee" could learn the names of government officials who had aided Bridges in his effort to avoid deportation. He reported he had found "a very serious and startling situation," in his investigation of subversive activities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. "Terrorism, ranging from crop sabotage, kidnaping to murder, are but a few results of examining the evidence offered by the agricultural, industrial and shipping Interests on the Pacific coast," he reported, Different communist groups are working within rival labor unions, Sullivan said, adding: "Harry Lunde-berg, leader of the group of seamen, who la actively opposing Harry Bridges, is linked up with the Trotsklte group." He reported the American Federation of Labor in San Francisco was actively fighting communist penetration, and jthat the success of its efforts was in question. The Investigator said communist groups agitating In agricultural regions of California obtained funds from persons engaged In the motion picture industry. He said his attention had been called to "sabotage in aviation factories" In which, he added, "known communists were employed."

Feminine Voters League Seeks Data From Candidates Chicago, Aug. 14. (IP) A nationwide campaign to get congressional candidates to outline their stands on American foreign policy questions was opened Sunday by the National League of Women Voters. Mrs. Louise Leonard Wright of Chicago, chairman of the league's department of government and foreign policy, said neutrality legislation and trade agreements were principal foreign policy points of Immediate interest to the league.

"Our organization," Mrs. Wright said, "holds that my neutrality legislation should be sufficiently flexible to permit the executive to shape the policy according to future developments which can not now be foreseen, "The position of the league Is that neutrality legislation of the United States should be employed to discriminate in favor of those nations which observe treaty obligations and against these which do not."

I. O.

national director, wrote all C. I. O. affiliates to support their allied union, the American Communications association, In resisting the reduction. The companies will be forced to reduce the work week of their employes to 44 hours under the wage-hour law, Brophy said, and he added they intended "to cut wages to make up for the shorter week." The lowering of wages was contemplated, the C.

I. O. official said, "in spite of the clause in the act which states no employer shall be Justified in 'reducing a wage paid by him which is in excess of the applicable minimum wages under this act." Because the clause was not accompanied by any enforcement provision, Brophy said, the companies have a "technical loophole" for making the reduction. He warned unions if the telegraph companies succeeded in their effort it might well be "the opening wedge for other industries to take similar action." Meantime, American Federation of Labor President William Green sent copies of a pamphlet explaining the law to central labor unions affiliated with the federation and in an accompanying letter urged appointment of local wage-hour committees. "The effectiveness of the new law will depend on how well Its enforcement Is policed by organized labor," Green wrote.

Leahy, an Ashland native, termed the reductions "the greatest gesture ever made by a nation to the cause of peace."

Louis, Aug. 14. VP) It took a black torn cat to get the St. Louis art public all riled up. It wasn't the cat's whiskers that caused the controversy for it didn't have any.

Neither was it the cat's meow. But it was the $14,400 price tag on the homely bronze Egyptian statuette, recently purchased by the city art museum. Since the acquisition of the fifth century B. figure, allegedly 2.400 years old, many persons have attacked the judgment of the museuni In spending that much money for a cat "when relief needs are in desperate plight." Some went so far as recommending repeal of the law supporting the museum by taxation. For days the "letters to the editor" columns of newspapers were flooded with protests.

One paper said (in an open letter to a cat): "Your visit is ill-fated. The same day your arrival was announced solve the minority quarrel, the Runcl-man mission was to point the way for future British policy toward that European danger spot. If the mission fails to find a com promise, it may determine largely how far Great Britain would go in sup porting France if the final issue of the nazl-supported Sudeten German struggle comes to war. Lord Runciman the man who said, So your're putting me adrift in mid-Atlantic" when he was given the Job now has spent two weeks hearing genuine complaints and exaggerated accusations. And he has only begun.

Denying that Lord Runciman was in any sense an arbitrator," Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has said "he is an investigator and medi ator." That means that if he fails to bring the conflicting groups to a compromise, his reports will indicate to Britain which side is most at fault. If he reports the Praha government refuses to offer sufficient concessions to the Sudeten Germans, Britain probably will Increase her pressure on the Czechoslovaks for peace. She also might warn France against counting too heavily on British sup port. But, if Lord Runciman works out a compromise that the Germanic minority rejects, it may lead Britain to adopt a firmer attitude toward Germany on the question. Since Germany annexed Austria without outside interference, British opinion has been sharply divided on what the British should do if war threatened between France and Germany over Czechoslovakia.

A Reuters, British news agency, dispatch from Praha said the Czechoslovakia government, counseling restraint, ordered the trial of army officers responsible for last week's bristling declaration: "There can be no retreat. For this principle (the state's authority) we can die, but we can never withdraw not one step, not one Inch." The declaration was immediately taken up by the nazl press and used for a terrific onslaught upon alleged Czech hard-beadedness. Reuters said a defense ministry communique at Praha ordered the officers' trial on the grounds they broke the law prohibiting political activity by army men. Many observers believed the offi cers' statement was an Indication the restraint which Viscount Runclman's presence as an official British media tor had heretofore engendered, wa.s beginning to crumble and tint Czechoslovak nationalism was beginning to reassert Itself.

Washington, Aug.

14. U.P. The interior department Sunday announced that plans are nearing completion for the Inauguration of the federal range conservation program under which 120,000.000 acres of public land will be set aside for grazing. Directors F. R- Carpenter of the division of grazing said long-term grazing contracts on the first "experimental" range In Moffat and Routt counties, Colorado, will be Issued shortly.

About 219 applicants will be granted 10-year contracts on this range. The Colorado district, which will accommodate about 124,000 sheep, cattle and horses for seven-month grazing periods each year, will be the first of SO such districts to be set i up under the Taylor grazing act of 1934. The act is designed to promote conservation of natural resources and Insure stabilization of the livestocK industry. Experts have scientifically calculated, after nearly four years of study, how much food each animal will require. The Colorado district will serve as a "laboratory" to guide experts in laying plans for the other 49 grazing areas.

The new long-term permits will replace one year temportry licenses previously issued by the division. (Continued from Page 1.) completing goods, and fourth, to develop methods for testing the nationality of consumer behavior. By the elasticity of demand for a commodity economists consider the ratio of the relative change in consumption to the relative change In price, other factors being equal. For example, if a decrease of 1 per cent in price brings about an Increase of more than 1 per cent in consumption the demand is said to be elastic, ii a decrease of 1 per cent in price increases consumption by les than 1 per cent the demand is said to be inelastic. Corn, one of the country's most im-.

portant agricultural crops, has an Inelastic demand, Dr. Bchultz found. The significance of this finding was that a large crop is worth less than a small crop of corn. Dr. Schultz reached the conclusion that, lrre-sDectlve of changes in price, the de mand curve for corn has been shifting downward since the war by half a bushel per capita annually.

Change in dietetic habits; increasing urbanization, which has reduced consumption of energy-building foods; advent of the auto and tractor, with the accompanying decrease of horses and mules; more efficient feeding of meat animals; higher tariffs, and substitution of wheat for corn in the cotton states were cited by Dr. Schultz as factors in the decreasing demand. Dr. Schultz said he did not expect the downward shift in demand curves to straighten out because the causes are still in operation. Likewise, Dr.

Schultz pointed out that the demand for cotton is inelastic and that the demand curve has been shifting downward slr.ee the war. In view of these facts, the economist asserted that restriction of production would not help the cotton farmers in the long run. The demand for wheat and sugar were both found inelastic with demand curves extending downward. In the case of sugar. Dr.

Schultz found that consumers have been reducing their sugar purchases since about 1922 at the rate of about 0.42 pound per capita annually.

Frank Knox, Chicago publisher and 1936 Republican vice presidential candidate, says that if new dealers succeed In pinning the blame for the "recession" on business, "there will be a different form of government in this country." "No people," he adds In his book, "We Planned It That Way." to be published Monday, "not even the American people, are going to continue to live In the midst of hard times.

"If the new dealers convince the people that they can take over business, run it better, and free the people from anxiety, this is the straw at which the people will grasp. "The people of other nations hav grasped at the same straw and in grasping have seen their democratic institutions of government disappear." Without precisely taxing President Roosevelt with a drive toward dictatorship, Knox devotes a large part of his book to show the number of what he calls dictatorial powers already in the hands of the president. "Mr. Roosevelt," he continues, "has squandered the savings and the future earnings of not merely a part of our people but all our people. "He has broken practically every pledge he has ever made to the people.

"He has driven the people into another depression at a cost of Jobs, and at aloss of some in the market value of securities owned by approximately stockholders. "He has weakened the insurance companies and the banking structure of the nation; and is using the social security funds for the daily running expenses of his administration and as security for the appropriated savings is dropping I. O. into special funds in the United States treasury. "And still, he retains the affection and the confidence of large numbers of the American people.

He added that "it might be worth while, perhaps, to have a certain amount of export subsidy on wheat." Under a subsidy systemexporters would be permitted to sell wheat 'n foreign markets at prices low enough to meet competition from other countries. The government would pay the exporters the difference between these prices and the higher domestic price. Secretary Hull has opposed export subsidies on the ground that they would lead to retaliatory measures by other countries and thus increase world trade barriers.

The command said 611 Russians were wounded in the clashes, while estimates placed Japanese losses at 600 killed and 2,500 wounded. The estimate was based upon an exchange of corpses Sunday. (J. D. White, Associated Press correspondent, in a dispatch from Hsln-king, capital of Manchukuo, Sunday said he saw nearly zo units or jap-anese-Manchukuo reservists heading toward the border region.

They were not equipped with the most modern weapons, however, and military authorities said the military units were moving east only to engage in summer maneuvers.) PREDICT NEW CLASHES. By .1. D. WHITE. Hsinking, Manchukuo, Aug.

14. UP) Japanese army authorities in this capital of Japanese-controlled Manchukuo freely predict the pos siblllty of new frontier incidents with Soviet Russia despite the current truce halting warfare at Changku feng. Returning Saturday from the scene of recent Changkufeng hostilities, I saw nearly 20 units of Manchukuo's military forces heading toward the border region, but they had little ammunition or guns. Military authorities assured me the units heading east intended to engage in annual summer maneuvers, but they did not deny the troops would be ready if any new outbreak oc curred. Troops of Japan and Soviet Russia are observing an armistice pending demarcation of the disputed frontier by a Joint commission of Russia and Manchukuo.

But military authorities said they are not relaxing precautions a single moment for fear "the other side may break the truce." Air raid precautions still are in effect in Hsinking. At nearly all railway stations passed Saturday crowds were as sembled to cheer the departing tt serve units. The Manchukuo reserves were said by the Japanese to be unfamiliar with modern war equipment and thus to be useless if any new iron tier trouble arises. There was a universal feeling of Joy here that peace was restored at Changkufeng, indicating no desire to fight the Soviets. And some local authorities even hinted at resentment over the Japanese war against China, of which Manchukuo, formerly Man churia, once was a part.

Vigilant along Manchukuo's 3.000 mile frontier, the Japanese forces are using railway, highway and air drome defenses constructed in the last seven years modernizing de fenses of the puppet-empire.
