Other cities, particularly “| Williston where the intake pipe had the Hohensollerns for the death of her one-time war servant, Paul von E [a H ill to be lengthened over 900 feet, have been forced to adopt extreme meas- ures to preserve their water supply, he stated, At the same time O. W. Roberts, head of the local weather bureau, stated that the level of the river was but expected to rise at least 10 inches in the near future, basing his prediction on the reports of a 1.3 foot raise at Williston this past week. Due mainly to drouth conditions but doubtless increased by the reduced water rates, the city of Bismarck in the month of July set a record for water consumption. During the past month, 59,179,000 gallons of water were pumped through the city mains. This ‘was & 18,333,000 increase over the pre- vious month when city meters regis- tered 40,846,000 gallons. During July, 1933, the amount used was 45,309,000 gallons, On August 1 the water level of the Missouri was 18 feet lower than on July 1, Roberts reported. This level is 1.9 feet lower than at the same time last year and the lowest on record at the local bureau. Motor Car Sales in State Show Increase NYE WILL SUPPORT THOMAS MOODIE IN NOVEMBER ELECTION Considers It His Duty in Light of Principles Involved, Says Senator NOT WORRIED OVER RECALL Says He Will Be Glad to Offer Services to Democratic Candidate Washington, Aug. 3—()—Senator Nye, Independent Republican, said Thursday he would support the De- mocratic nominee for governor of North Dakota rather than Mrs. Wil- liam Langer, wife of the deposed gov- ernor. Langer Wednesday resigned the Re- publican nomination. The Republican state committee, which he controls, immediately endorsed Mrs. Langer to succeed him on the ticket. Langer received the nomination two days after he had been convicted of fraud against the federal government. He has appealed an 18-month sentence and a fine of $10,000. “I consider it my duty in the light of the principles involved to hope and work for the election of Tom Moodie,” Nye said. Moodie is the Democratic nominee, Nye campaigned for Langer’s op- ponent in the Republican primary. He said he would be glad to take part in Moodie’s campaign, if Moodie wanted him to. Nye was undisturbed by reports from North Dakota of a movement by Langer leaders to seek his recall. “That is interesting,” was his only comment. Later the proposal was abandoned, however. The senator will leave Friday to join President Roosevelt’s party at Glasgow, Mont. He will be accom- panied by Mrs. Nye. The president will arrive Tuesday morning at Devils Lake, N. D., where he will make an inspection of the district to obtain in- formation on water supplies, PLAN 33.

GOVERNOR DEMANDS QUICK SETTLEMENT OF TRUCKER STRIKE Olson Cracks Down on Employ- ers and Strikers Alike in Final Warning Minneapolis, Aug. 3.—(#)— Gov. Floyd B. Olson Friday demanded im- mediate settlement of the truck driv- ers’ strike, threatening as an alterna- tive a tightening-up on vehicle move- ment now authorized under permits from the National Guard. ‘The governor also cracked down on strikers, warning—‘the guard will take very drastic action hereafter with reference to forcible picketing.” “In view of all the circumstances,” said the governor in taking cognizance of the employers advisory committee's proposal for terminating the walkout, “unless a decent settlement is arrived at I will issue an order, as command- er-in-chief of the National Guard, re- voking all permits except those for the transportation of actual necessities such as milk, ice, and kindred com- modities.” Sets Midnight Deadline The revocation order, said the chief executive, would be effective at mid- night Friday.

P.) Washington, Aug. 3.—()—The gov- ernment disclosed plans Friday to thwart wild cat speculation or “cor- ners” in the nation’s food in the after- math of the drouth disaster. Perhaps the most potent weapon iz power under the AAA to buy surpluses of farm commodities for future use, thereby striking a blow at any at- tempt to kite prices because of rela- tive scarcity. The foods thus bough by the government could be distribut- ed to the needy, resold through com- mercial channels or shipped into Grouth areas where needed. For the immediate future, officials predict that supplies will be ample and prices relatively low. This is due to heavy marketings, particularly of livestock which the drouth threatened to kill. Through the winter, though, the normal reaction would be reduced food supplies and higher prices. The administration will try to level off this variation, guarantee ample supplies for all sections and prevent wide fluctuations in prices. Meanwhile the administration sei up an office at Minneapolis, Minn., to begin the procurement of seed for Planting 1935 crops; relaxed restric- tions on the use of government-rent- ed acres to allow farmers to harvest and sell seed grown on these plots; announced the extension of emer- gency freight rates for feed and live- stock shipments for another month, and designated six new counties in the emergency drouth classification. Announcement was expected Friday of the sheep-purchasing program of the administration which was delayed temporarily when Comptroller Gener- al McCarl ruled that it could not be carried on with funds provided in the Jones-Connally act since sheep were not mentioned in it. However, officials said, funds can be made available either by the fed- eral relief administration or through the $525,000,000 emergency drouth ap- propriation to carry out the $10,000,- 000 program contemplated.
