FUROPE RSO HT " DYLDNG DROUGHS Russia and ‘Rumania. Alone| Expected to Have Surplus Cereal Crops. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 16.—~Europe will bear with America heavy agricultural losses which a Summer of protracted drought and severe storms have occa- sioned from the British Isles to the steppes of Russia. Reports from many countries where harvesting operations are about to be- | gin showed today that Russia .nd: Rumenis would be the only ones with | surplus cereal crops for export, while England, France, Italy, Germany and | Austria would have subnormal yields | ©f wheat, rye, oats and barley. French and Italian Wheat Hit. French and Italian wheat farmers thave been suffering from fickle weath- er almost as much as have the grain growers of the United States. Soviet officials, -however, reported that Rus- sian peasants have benefited from = season so uniformly good they were preparing to harvest a huge crop with the prospect of having grain to spare. England will market a smaller wheat crop then usual, as a result of a de- crease of 200,000 acres in cultivation, but expects to obtain better prices for wheat because of conditions in Ameri- ca. Officials expect 1,164,000 tons of 1930 wheat, compared with 1,271,000 tons last ‘year. There should be 800,000 tons of barley, though last ar’s yield was 998,000. The estimate i;r oats is 1,347,000, compared with 1,522,000 in 1930. Spain, which never raises enough ‘wheat for her own use, will have & bet- ter than average crop upon which to draw this year. Unusually cool weath- er this Summer, together with copious rains, gave the eountry a good yield, especially of olives and grapes. Drought Proves Beneficial. Southeastern Europe has been : fa- wored with temperate weather, and even where droughts have been experien: the came at an opportune mo- ment fo ripen crops and pei easy harvesting. France has begun to entertain se- rious doubts of preducing enough wheat at home to provide bread for the na- tion. Last year France had a surplus of 30,000,000 bushels over the 260,000, 000 required for consumption. Late and protracted and eleetrical storms have razed all sections of the ‘wheat-growing areas. - Unofficial esti- mates of France's home-grown wheat &10.- year, therefore, range around 250,- 000 Italy, Tmit of s , it has been estimated, will pro- duce 6,071,000 metric tons of wheat, compared with 7,082,000 last year. This 1417 per cent. decrease, however, is higher. than the flve-year average, ‘which is 5,748,000 tons. Wet Peripd Delays German Crops. A rrotncted wet period, which fol- lowed the long June drought, delayed all German crops. An increase of 25 per cent in wheat acreage, in accord- ance with the government’s directions to sgricultgre to set up a condition avoiding importation of foreign wheat, has helped to keep up the grain yleld. It now is estimated that Germany will | Produce 201,000 tons of Summer wheat, compared with 197,000 last year, and 1,890,000 tons of Winter wheat, com- pared with 1,700,000 tons in 1930, erop “appesrs icss promieme T d 8. Which is the staple crop of the fItl’llcy:: land, it is estimated, will yield only 47,000 tons crop, compared ‘with 59,000 tons in 1929. Winter rye, estimated at 5,500,000 tons, will not match the 6,000:000 tons of last year. Although more land was put to barley this year, that crop suffered from rains and great quantities of rye destined for the beer were spoiled. “The oat be smaller than last year by about 1,500,000 tons. Jugaslavia reports excellent yields of all grains. Rumanian Farmers Satisfied. From all parts of Rumania conditions @are repo satisfactory to the farmer. Official figures estimate an excess pro- duction of eereals over the country's home needs as follows: Wheat, 150,000 carfoads; rye, 80,000; maize, 150,000. Austrian crops have ripened in ex- cellent quality and quantities nearly | We lungary T satisfac- torily than her neighbors, as her crops, especially sugar beets, potatoes and corn, are & full 20 per cent behind last year. Owing to prolonged drought, Czecho- slovakia Nas prospects of only moderate crops of all grains. P S S AR MASTER OF GRANGE GIVES DROUGHT TALK Dwells on Gravity of Effects and Pays Tribute to Red Cross. In a radio talk here yesterday Louis J. Taber of Columbus, Ohio, master of the National Grange, discussed the drought problem. He dwelt on the gravity of the effects of the hot and dry ‘weather and paid tribute to the Red and said individual relief should come through it. He indorsed the pro- gram mapped out at the conference be- tween President Hoover and the Gover- nors, saying the plan for State and county committees was “admirable” and the special reduction of freight rates would be of service, as would use of better credit facilities. He added: “The al to use road money in the drought area should be vigorously ushed and deserves the co-operation of te, county and local officials. And lastly, the support of the Red Cross te protect health and secure food and comfort should be readily accepted by drought sufferers everywhere who are in distress. This is a national disaster. “The Grange demands that neither the profiteer nor the politician shall be permitted to use a disaster of this char- acter for their own personal advantage. “The consumer should recognize that the bitter losses of the farmer today. if he is compelled to sell breeding live stock at ruinous Erma can but result in gcarcity ‘and higher prices in the RS AN 25 :nnlhe:‘d." . iMISS GARRISON DIES Employe of Army Medical Library Succumbs in Baltimore.

ILLINOIS ROAD WORK ORDERED. —_— $4,000,000 in Contracts Directed By Gov. Emmerson at Omce. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, August 16 (#).— Tackling the. drought preblem in Illi- nois, Gov. Louis L. Emmerson, upon his return from the drought conference with President Hoover, today directed the State highway division to place un- der contract at once $4,000,000 worth of road building, intended for 1931. ‘The 1930 road program was to total $32,500,000. The new work will in- crease this to nearly $37,000,000. Many of the road projects already under con- tract for this year are located in the drought-stricken areas of the State. In contracting for the $4,000,000 ad- ditional work, the department would in- sist, it was announced, that con- tractors, in so far as practicabie, employ Illinois labor and include a fair scale of wages in their bids. In commenting upon the situation, Gov. Emmerson said: “The conditions confronting many countles in Central and Southern Illi- nois, especially, are appailing. In many Jocalities pastures are a total loss. Ga; den produce, such as potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables, have been almost destroyed, thus depriving many of our people of their main source of food su) ‘x"gzinnle to the corn crop is serious, especially in Southern Illinols, where the reductions range from 60 to 90 per cent.” | { PROTESTS BALLOT‘COUNT Harry T.

BROWN ATTACKS PINCHOT AT PICNIC Declares He Is Henor and Without Shame” in Casting ‘Aspersions. By the Associated Press. FOGELSVILLE, Pa, August 16— The bitterness which marked the pri- | mary campaign of the Republican party in Pennsylvania between the Brown and ; | At the annual pienic of the Republican marked the firing of the opening gu! State-wide campaigns for the final election. ‘Fhe remewal of discord was brought out here today when Francis Shunk Brown, gubernatorial ecandidate, who as apparently defeated nchot in face of official returns, directed an at- tack on the former Governor when he followed him to the speaker's platform. Pinchot in_his 'h has reiterated his stand for n elections and romised that if elected in November e would seek to have the. Legislature pass effective clean election bills. ‘Before this campaign never did any one dare to cast aspersions on my | character,” Brown said. “Any ene who does is without honor and without shame. The gentleman. who preceded me took a dig at my native city of Philadelphia, charging crooked elections. 4 _am sorry to dig into these person- alitles, but the gentleman who preceded me has attacked my native city and I cannot sit idly by without defending her. One hundred thousand votes were taken from me in the north side of Pittsburgh. This is a wet district and the votes were purchased with money, but it was not my money. Put that in volur 'r;‘lpu m&mke‘ilt,"r i n the opening speech of the program, State Chalrman Edward Martin said that Gifford Pinchot was the nominee of the party until the courts should rule that another had been the duly elected candidate for the governorship on the Republican ticket. “Without | by d the Republican party, in | DEMOCRATS NEED TEN-SEAT GAIN Senator Tydings Points Out Control Hinges on 35 Senatorial Contests.

BY MARK SULLIVAN. fundamental aspect of last week’s primaries is symbolized in the nomina- tion for the Senate by the Ohio Demo- crats of Robert J. Bulkley. This nomi- nation is outstanding because it is a step in the direction of wetness by De- mocracy in Ohio and because the ag- gregate of such steps in other States has taken the Democratic party in the Nation farther in the wet direction than is commonly realized, and-farther than ywou“ rm u:"e Lwen believed possible a The nomination of Bulkley also is important because of the nominee’s per- sonal elevation of ability and experfence, 'y should win the senatorial election in November, he would be a definite addition to the stature of the Senate. Nomination by the wets of & man of this type, if followed by his election, would mean more than the nu- merical addition of one to the wet strength in the Senate. Because of his standing and personality, Bulkley among the Democrats would give to the wets in the Sen;:& .l prestige and lead- er comparable in some degree to that which Ambassador Morrow of New Jersey gives to the Republican wets. Support Primarily Wet. Bulkley in his campaign for nomina- tion was qupol‘led by some drys or neutrals, and will again be supported by some of them in the election, not primarily on account of his wetness, but because, as the Youngstown Vindi- cator put it, he would bring to the Senate “the large ability and dignity which Ohlo used to consider indispens- able in its statesme) . . He is the candidate of the thinking Democrats of Ohio who wish to see their State again | ° send its best men to the Senate.” Some 17 years ago, Bulkley served two terms in the House. Although then & new member and only a little over 30 years old, he had;an important part in writing the Federal Reserve legisla- tion. He is a graduate of Harvard Col- lege and of the Harvard Law School and is distinctly a leading citizen of Cleveland. In last week's race Bulkley ran in a field of five, of whom the other four were drys. Bulkley got twice as many votes as his leading opponent, who was & veteran Democratic politician. Al- though the Ohio Demoerats in. the same primary last week nominated a dry for Governor, nevertheless Democratic na- tional leaders recognize that the nom: nation of Bulkley as a wet for the Sen- | ate is a step by the Democrats in the | direction of favoring repeal of the| eighteenth amendment. Wetness of Nominees. ‘To summarize the ste taken by the Democrats in the Nation toward the wet position, it can be said that outside e South substantially all the nomi- tions made by Democrats to run for Senate seats now held by Republican Democrats have nominateds Bulkley in Ohio. They have nominated the wet ex-Senator Gilbert H. Hitchcock to run against the dry Republican Norris in Nebraska. In Illinois they have nomi- nated wet ex-Senator James Hamilton Lewis to run for the seat now held by | dry Republican Charles S. Deneen. The Democrats have made a wet nomination in Pennsylvania, although in that State, of course, they have practically no chance to win. Even in Oklahoms, | whieh is almost a Southern State, the Democrats have nominated the wet ex- Senator Thomas P. Gore to run against % Republican Senator William B. e. In addition to wet nominations for the Senate already made, the Democrats will almost certainiy nominate wets in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Dela- ware. Success by even half of these wet Democratic nominees would be considerable addition to wet strength in the Senate, although the wet strength would still be less than 25 out of a total of 96. Regardless of success in November these nominations constitute -a -decided step by the Democrats in the Nation away from: the dry position and in the wet ‘direction. In addition to the nomi- nations here cited, the Democratic State Convention in Washington State has adopted a wet platform. Though there are several important exceptions it can almost be said that the Deniocratic or- ganization has become or is becoming ‘wet in practically all the country except e South.

By the Associated Press. Charges by Robert H. Lucas that the Democratic party had opposed -every effort made by President Haever to re- store business and provide employment were denied yesterday by Senator King, Democrat, of Utah. Lucas, who yesterday assumed office , as executive director of the Republican National Committee, in a statement said the Democrats had selected the “natural misfortune of the Nation—the suffering of the unemployment—as & campaign issue of 1930, Because of this, he said, they could not lend their support to corrective measures without “depriving their party of a battle ery for the campaign.” Denial of Criticism. “There has been mno Democratic criticism of, or opposition to any effort the President may have made to corvect or improve the economic 'state of the country,” Senator King said in a state- ment issued through the Democratic National Committee, “but there has been criticism, not only by Democrats, but by progressive and liberal Republi- cans, of statements emanating from the Executive and leading Republicans —statements which were not warranted by conditions and which were based in part upon unfounded, optimistic :r:ph- esies and misleading statistics, the. in- accuracy of which the executive de- partment reports uitimately.showed to be misleading. “The fact is that the Democratic party has sought to promote the welfare of the people, to bring about prosperity to all classes and to preserve Demo- cratic institutions under which liberty l:ld.ujll;lluce may be the' inheritanee . “The new executive director of the Republican National Committee, Mr. begins his work by the party with attempting to demoralize business and to oppose the efforts of the President to restore busi- ness to normalicy,” Senator King said. “This charge is made because some Democratic Senators and Represent- atives called attention to the disparity between the President's campaign prom- ises of eontinued prosperity and the existing situation in industry and em- ployment.
