AND DAVIS TALK Ambassador at Large Confers With President and Is Instructed to Return Soon to Continue Peace j. Efforts Lakeman's Bay, Roque Island, June 28 P) Eneouraged i by an optimistic report on disarmament pi aspects, President Roosevelt today emphasized to his special am-btssador at Geneva, Normal H. Davis, that American promises for con-sultatioh for peace hinged entirely on a disarmed world. on board the schooner, ihtanberjack II, Mr. Roosevelt and Ambassador Davis talked over the world armaments problem today, and agreed to spur 'the' campaign fof a successful conclusion of the Geneva parley this fall.

"Europe has made up his mind," reported Davis, "that it is to be either peace or chaos. This is the greatest progress. Public opinion is developing for disarmament. The people are still a little nervous, and we must have a little time to settle some of the political problems." The president Instructed Mr. Davis to return within a week or 10 days and renew the efforts for world peace and disarmament, which he believes to-be in prospect.

Davis said the future depends greatly on stabilization of the 'German government. He said Mr. Roosevelt's appeal for peace, and his offer for a pact of non-aggression had "had a "tremen-dous effect over The presi- dent made It quite plain to Mr. Davis that American offers to consult when peace is threatened are based entirely on a disarmed world.

June 28 UP) William Peters sold pretzels and potato chips, at his restaurant on Sunday, giving 32 beer away with them, and the somewhat novel idea cost him $50. He was fined by a magistrate because authorities contended the plan was designed to evade the law prohibiting sale of beer on Sunday. "You can't keep a good thermometer down," declared Prof.

George E. Raburn of the college weather station last night. The thermometer at the weather station registered a maximum of 105 degrees yesterday afternoon. A check of statistics for this month showed that the temperature reached 100 degrees ot above on 14 of the 28 days. OFFICIALS SEE NO BEER REVOLT Know of No Places Where Brew Is Being Sold in Manhattan No Federal Permits Were Issued in Riley County No "beer revolt" has appeared in Manhattan, local law enforcement officers assert, the belief being expressed that the brew will not be sold In Manhattan In open defiance of the law.

W. A. Hunter, chief of ptllce, and Scott Pfuetze, county attorney, said that to their knowledge the beer was not being dispensed here. Chief Hunter said he had heard a truck driver brought some beer to Manhattan from an adjoining state where it has been legalized and attempted to sell it to dealers here, but was unsuccessful. He pointed out that shipments of beer made through Kansas must be in sealed trucks andi must be destined to points outside ef the state.

The seals may not be broken while within the state. For that reason, he said, regular express trucks could not carry the beer, because they make stops within the state to unload a part of their regular cargo. It is rumored, however, that one local restaurant recently dispensed some beer. The county attorney asserted there was to be no change in the policy of prosecuting cases brought to his attention so long as the state law remains unaltered. Apparently no one in Manhattan has obtained a federal permit to sell beer.

Attorney General Roland Boynton recently announced! he was sending to county attorneys lists of persons holding such permits in their respective counties. Mr, Pfuetze said he had received no such list. REED TO DIRECT KANSAS WHEAT Plans to Use "All Available Evidence" in Determining Allot ments for Counties Topeka, June 28 UP) F. K. Reed, federal agricultural statistician for Kansas, who has been appointed to establish Kansas county allotments which will be the basis for distribu tlon to farmers of money raised by the 30-cent-a-bushel process tax on! wheat, said today he planned! to use "ail available evidence" in de termining the allotments.

Reed said it! would be his duty to establish county acreage and production allotments, based on the average acreage and production for the years 1928 to 1932 inclusive. "The planted acreage allotment," he said, "will be the base from which the agricultural adjustment administration in Washington will allot the planted acreage quota to each county in the state. The coun ty production allotment will pro vide the basic production on which benefit" payments will be distributed to the different counties." Reed said he would use all avail able evidence in establishing the allotments, adding: "In this connection, carlot shipments of wheat are available from each Individual railroad station and have been tabulated by counties and by months for each year under consideration. The information furnished by the federal census and the acreage reported as planted by county assessors will be used in es tablishing these allotments. "Consideration will also be given to all published material concern ing county acreage and production.

Proper allowance will also be made for the amount of wheat used for seed, fed to livestock and the amount carried into the new crop year from the 1932 crop on July 1, 1933." FIVE MORE IN C. C.

LITTLE WHEAT TO MARKET Dodge City, June 28 Indications in this area are that little of the wheat now being harvested will reach the market. Many of the farmers are keeping the small crop for seed.

Wallace, secretary of agriculture, today unfolded before an audience of nearly 5,000 in the heart of the winter wheat belt the administration plan to di vide approximately 000,000 among; wheat growers in exchange for agreements to reduce their acre age. After listening to the address, farmers fired questions at Wallace more than an hour as to details of the administration plan to levy a 30 cent processing tax on each bushel of wheat processed for domestic consumption, and to return it in the form of a bonus to growers agreeing to reduce their acreage.

He Indicated the plan would bring about $20,000,000 into Kansas around the middle of September, on the basis of plans to make a two-thirds payment of the bonus at the time growers sign agreements to reauce their acreage. May Pay in September "If it is possible to get the ad ministration machinery in motion out in the states and counties promptly enough, first payment will be made about Sept. 15," Wallace oaiui. "This will foe a benefit payment on this year's crop in return for agreements to reduce acreage on next year's crop -and' that of 1935: This first payment probably will amount to two-thirds of the total due the remaining third 'to be made next spring when proof of acreage reduction is obtained." One question almost stumped Wallace. It concerned Instances where a mortgage has been given on this year's crop.

The questioner wanted to know If the mortgagor or the mortgagee would receive the benefit payments. After consulting with Guy T. Helvering of Salina. federal Internal revenue commissioner, Wallace said it appeared "the payment is for next year's crop and the farmer is entitled to the money." Farrell on Stage Seated with Helvering on the platform were Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, Dr.

F. D. Far rell, president of Kansas State college, and, other political and farm organization leaders. Illustrating how the allotment plan would work Secretary Wallace said: "Suppose a farmer had seeded 100 acres of wheat on an average the past three years, and had produced an average 1,000 bushels each year. This man's allotment would be that portion of his average production which could! be considered to be domestically consumed.

Domestic consumption of wheat for food has been running about 55 per cent qf production, so that this farmer's domestic allotment would be about 550 bushels. "The benefit payment he would receive on this 550 bushels would approximate the difference between the market price of wheat and its fair exchange value that is, tne value the bushel of wheat had in pre-war years in terms of things the farmers bought. Thus, if the farm price of wheat has been aver aging 58 cents a bushel ana tne lair exchange value was 88 cents, the benefit nayment would be about 30 cents a bushel less administrative costs NEGRO WAIVES PRELIMINARY Wiilta Jeeter.
