D. AMONG PETITIONERS If Plan Is Approved “Pilot Plants” Will Be Establish- ed for Experiments Washington, July 12.—(#)—Eight western states, whose underground reaches hold more than a fourth of the world’s coal deposits, have asked the federal government to help them utilize the latent energy in this coal for industrial development. They are petitioning the public works administration for a grant of $200,000 with which to coordinate and reduce to practical commercial uses the experiments of 20 years with lig- nite coal. These tests sought to over- ‘ecme obstacles to development of the mining areas caused by problems pe- culiar to the lignites. Scientists behind the plan see in it @ chance to give the west an unlim- ited supply of high grade coal at a reasonable price, an ubundance of cheap electricity, power and gas, and moderately priced fertilizers. Volunteers Use of Patents Oliver 8, Bowman of Colorado rep- resents the states in Washington. As president of the Heliopore laboratories of Colorado Springs he has offered to assign to the cooperating states all rights under patents owned by his ‘company on lignite processing meth- ocs. On behalf of his company and a number of states universities and col- leges, he is asking that the task of coordinating the lignite experiments of the federal bureau of mines. Bowman explained 20 per cent of the world’s coal consisted of the lig- nite deposits in North and South Da- kota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Col- orado, Utah, Oregon, New Mexico and Texas. Industrial development of the stetes, he said, had been retarded “‘be- cause of peculiar problems incident to the utilization of the lignites.” If the proposal receives PWA ap- proval, the plan calls for erection of “pilot plants” of practical commercial dimensions to demonstrate the var- icus processes, and develop combus- tion methods for utilization of both the char and raw lignite, without briquetting. In addition, methods of deriving fertilizers from carbonization Processes would be developed. Bowman said the application for PWA funds probably would be made by the bureau of mines, which has en- dorsed the plan. If the grant is not approved, Senator Frazier (Rep., N. D.) has agreed to ask congress for a dizect appropriation, he said. INDUSTRY T0 GET CODES IN 30 DAYS Blue Eagle Regulations for Small Businesses Promul- gated by Johnson » July 12 —()—The Deadly Force Ray Invention Claimed New York, July 12—(#)—The discovery of a force ray that would destroy an army 100 miles away, that would make a nation’s defense impregnable, has been an- nounced by the inventor, Dr. Ni- kola Tesla. In the interests of peace, Dr. Tesla said he plans to place the ray at the disposal of the Geneva disarmament conference. He an- nounced the invention Wednes- day, on the occasion of his 78th birthday. The force ray, Dr. Tesla said, ‘would consist of particles, driven electrically and projected in vast curtains, miles high and 100 miles AUSTRIA TERRORIZED AS HIGH EXPLOSIVES TAKE FURTHER ‘TOLL New Complications With Hitler Threaten in Recall of Diplomat Vienna, July 12. — (@) — Two new bombing outrages were reported in Austria Thursday, only a few hours after Chancellor Dollfuss had an- nounced a new anti-terror campaign with the death penalty for possession of explosives. Five persons, four of them tourists, were injured at Salzburg when a bomb destroyed the automobile of a member of the Dollfuss “Fatherland Front” organization. Another bomb shattered many win- dows and slightly damaged a priest's house at Buers, in western Austria. Meanwhile the German legation here issued a firm denial of reports that the minister had been notified to pre- pare to return to Berlin and said such instructions are not expected. The car at Salzburg was parked in ront of a small tavern near the pic- turesque “Klosterbreau,” a beer hall well known to most Americans who have visited Salzburg. The tavern was partially wrecked and the automobile was blown to bits. The tourist members of the group were arriving at Salzburg from Graz. All were Austrians. 12-Year-Old Is Victim The fifth victim was a 12-year-old girl who had just been sent from home to the tavern for beer. The Neue Freie Presse said that Germany plans to recall her minister if Chancellor Dollfuss delays in re- Placing his minister at Berlin. , The Austrian minister, Stefan Tau- schitz, was recalled from Berlin Wed- nesday to become undersecretary for foreign affairs in Dollfuss’ new anti- Nazi cabinet. There have been reports that Doll- fuss does not contemplate replacing Tauschitz. The Hitler government's intention, as reported here, is to permit a charge qaffaires to represent it in this cap- ital, insead of a minister. Relations between the German and Austrian governments have not been helped by Dollfuss’ intensified deter- mination to crush Naziism in Austria To aid in his campaign against Aus- trian Nazis the little chancellor, cloaked with greater powers now un- der the reorganization of his govern- ment this week, has taken over all police and military powers. Major Emil Fey, often called the “Iron Man” of the government, is “general com- missar for extraordinary security,” with special authority to strike in night at Waterloo, a. One of the last major steps in the lifying job, Johnson's act left three courses open to small industries still uncodified: signify opposition to Dollfuss.

The control program, as analyzed by Farrell at the conclusion of its first year, has placed approximately $100,000,000 in cash in the hands of farmers, many of whom were in dire need induced by repeated crop fail- ures. To this huge sum, the section chief adds an estimated $108,000,000 profit to wheat raisers as the result of fa- vorable price influence brought about by exportation of some 35,000,000 bu- shels of wheat from the Pacific north- west. This grain constituted a grave men- ace to the price of all wheat in the United States, Farrell said. It was eliminated, he said, “by the courag- eous use of some $7,500,000" before it cculd crush the domestic price struc- ture. Drouth Area Farmers Save Eighty per cent of all wheat acreage taken out of production by the con- trol program lies in the region devas- tated by the great midwest drought. If this acreage had been seeded as usual, Farrell asserted, the loss to Producers would have been approxi- mately $3 an acre or $22,000,000. To these benefits is added the Promise of a forthcoming $102,000,000 income beginning sometime in Oc- tober, all at a cost to the consuming Public estimated by the department Of agriculture at 1-3 of a cent a loaf. “And what has the consumer gained for his third of a cent a loaf process- ing tax?” “Eighty per cent of the adjustment benefit payments going to farmers has been paid out in interest and taxes,” Farrell asserted, adding that the in- terest in a large part gravitated to the vaults of eastern investment com- Panies, Despite all “viewing with alarm,” Farrell said the imposition of a pro- cessing tax has made the control pro- gram possible without resulting in a Tecuction of wheat consumption. The 744,000,000 bushels yield in 1932 was accompanied by a 38 cent price, or a total estimated valuation Of $282,000,000. The 1934 production, reduced to an estimated 484,000,000 bushels by control abetted by drought, will average 80 cents a bushel, at least, Farrell believes, or totai $387,000,000. Control benefits will add another $102,000,000 to the crop’s value. ‘The huge wheat carry-over which accumulated over a peilod of years, already has been reduced to 260,000,- 000 bushels. With normal production and a 15 per cent acreage reduction, the carryover as of July 1, 1935, may be forecast as 120,000,000 bushels.

Langer Officials; Action on Gross Earnings Tax BULLETIN (By the Associated Press) William Langer iste Thursday called a special session of the North Dakota legislature to in- vestigate his conviction by a fed- eral court jury of defrauding the United States government. The proclamation, issued by the governor at 4:10 p. m., calls for the assemblies to convene at 12 noon, July 19. (By The Associated Press) Only William Langer’s signature i @ proclamation, already prepared, is necessary to convene the North Da- kota legislature in special session. The proclamation has been ready for several days, it was learned def- initely Thursday, but conflicting views within the Langer faction group on the advisability of calling the ses- sion has caused a delay in its issuance. If the governor decides to call the special session of the assemblies, the date of the meeting is yet to be de- termined. A blank remains in the proclamation for filling in the date. Some sources placed the possible date 2s prior to August 1. Leaders’ Opinions Conflict It was learned on good authorit; that Langer planned to definitely de- cide the question by noon, but sppar- ently the conflict of views within his faction still prevails. Some leaders are known to favor convening the as- Semblies; others are opposed. It also is known that considerable pressure is being exerted on the gov- ernor by advocates and opponents of the special session plan. From all sections of the state communications have been directed to them by sup- Perters expressing their variety of views. A careful check is being made on the strength that can be mustered by the Langer faction before the call is issued. It was indicated that this check will be completed by Thursday night, and that the governor then will be prepared to tell his associates whether he will carry out his tentative decision to call the two houses into ‘session. Langer faction leaders are satisfied they have a sufficient margin in the house, but there still remains some question as to control of the senate. The Nonpartisan League had contro! oi both branches when Langer came into office as that party's candidate 18 months ago. There had been, however, a falling away of considerable support in the senate. Nonpartisan League senators, such as W. E. Matthsei, Nels Simon- son, and Lars O. Fredrickson, are op- posed to the governor's policies. Also tabulated as opposed to the governor are C. W. Fine, and E. E. Greene, both high in the councils of the Farmers Union of North Dakota tl
