The total stood at only 203 signers Friday, 13 short of the 216 signatures needed to force the bill out of the rules committee. That was a loss of half a dozen signers this week alone, and at one time there were 210 names on the petition. Party leaders got busy about that time and, while denying they were working on instructions from President Roosevelt, pressure Democrats to scratch their names, Rep. William Lemke (Rep., N. D.), who has denounced the Democratic campaign against the bill of which he is co-author, insisted “we will get jenough signers.” He still contended {many of those who had withdrawn \their names would put them back on.

Hurley, pre- dicted for President Roosevelt the same bitter defeat in 1936 that his own chief suffered in 1932, at the hands of a “Frankenstein monster,” the “Democrats have created.” New Deal Foes Called Plotters by Robinson Forrest City, Ark, July 26—(P}— New Deal opponents are charged with to seize control of the government” by Senator Joe T.

No Jews to Represent Reich in 1936 Olympics; Isolation Move Starts Berlin, July 26.—(#)—Dissolution of jthe entire east Prussian Stahlhelm (steel helmet) veterans organization was announced Friday by Governor Erich Koch. The stern action against the vet- erans organization—Germany’s equiv- alent to the American Legion—was itaken under the Feb. 28, 1933, law for the protection of the people and the state. It accompanied a broadening of the Nazi three-sided “cleansing act” against Semitism, “political Catholic- ism,” and “reactionary” veterans. A new Nazi departmental dictator, Hans Hinkel, assumed power with the specific duty of eliminating Jewish in- fluences from art. The anti-Semitic boycott was tightened throughout the Reich and renewed moves were made to isolate Jews. All East Prussian steel helmet units and all subdivisions were affected by the dissolution order. All property of the organization was to be confiscated. It was learned no Jews will repre- sent Germany in the 1936 Olympic because of what the Jews call dis- crimination against them by Nazi sports leaders and what the Nazis call the incompetence of Jewish athletes.

Meals Still Free in Hotel When Colorado’s Sun Hides'* Gunnison, Colo.

Democrats on the house ways and means committee had drafted a measure designed to raise an annual sum variously estimated at $150,000,- 000 to more than $250,000,000. In general the criticism was from two sides—advocates of a balanced budget, many of them Republicans, and left-wing share-the-wealth men. ‘The praise came from members, in- cluding a number of Democrats, who said the committeemen, in the plan, followed a middle-of-the- Walsh Critical From the senate side came a por- tent of a battle shead. Senator Walsh (Dem.-Mass.) analyzed the president’s proposals critically, and said it was “unfortunate” that the question was not presented “as a revenue measure than a reform measure.” Here is the framework of the new tax schedule tentatively approved by Democrats on the house ways and the|means committee: Excess profits levy: No tax up to 8 per cent; graduated upward from 5 per cent of 8 per cent profits to 20 per cent on profits of more than 25 per cent.

Cook, Bismarck, Friday reported that he had started to cut 40 acres of Ceres wheat on his farm six miles north of Bismarck, Jack Payseno, tenant, estimated the fine stand of grain would run from 15 to 18 bushels per acre. seno said there was little evidence of rust damage. It was the first report to reach Bismarck of the commencement of wheat harvesting in Burleigh county this year and served to offset de- Lei news coming out of Minne- sot First threshing returns from the Red river valley, reported at Fargo, came from the farm of Hans Ander- son, near Grandin, where a 10 acre field of oats, combined Thursday, yielded 50 bushels to the acre of 32- pound grain. A nearby field of bar- ley, combined by Jacob Hestback, was estimated to yield 25 bushels of rather light barley, Affected adversely by the weather is the wheat crop in the Red River valley, where the season for that crop is later than in other sections, in the opinion of Dr. E. C. Stakman, plant pathologist of the University of Minnesota. The spread of rust in that section has been aided by the high temperatures and humidity. Thatcher Resistant “The Thatcher rust-resistant va- riety of wheat in the Red River val- ley has stood up well in the face of the scourge,” said Dr. Stakman, “but there is not very much of that va- riety planted. ‘Thatcher was re- leased only a couple of years ago and there wasn’t much seed available for planting, due to the extreme drouth last gear.” Rampant rust, overrunning the great grain zone, Friday claimed a 50 per cent destruction of the domestic spring wheat crop. ta, would cut in half the originally esti- mated production of 278,000,000 bushels while hot and humid weather sped the rust depredations, Half empty then, the nation’s bread basket carries about 135,000,000 bushels for the estimated harvest, to last year’s drouth-damaged crop of 91,500,000 bushels and a 10-year average of 242,000,000. Damage Not Estimated Damage to immature grain in some pessimistic outlook already had wrung added fears from farmers driven to plow under the worthless grain. Even the stubborn Ceres variety met that fate. George Howe plowed under 20 acres of Ceres, strongest rust resistant sort, on his Casselton, N. D., field. He said it was so badly rusted it was worth- less for cutting. All but 20 acres of a 115-acre field of Marquis wheat, more common var- iety, met a similar end on James Cald- well’s farm at Manvel, N. D. Once the field promised 40 bushels an acre. A chain elevator company at Sioux Falls, 8. D., estimated the damage in that state at 25 to 50 per cent, affirm- ing experts’ opinions. A St. Paul mill- ing firm reported farmers probably will advance the harvest in a race with continued rust infestation. Minnesota’s deprivation, Dr. Stake- man said, runs from 40 per cent in certain areas, including the Red River valley, to “virtually s total loss in some fields.” Fort Lincoln CMTC in Bivouac Friday Night Fort Lincoln’s C.
