B8 i STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1931 AD FROM WHEAT P TOCONERES Board Would Require Reim- bursement for Contribu- tions to Needy. By the Associated Press. ‘With Winter close at hand, the Farm Board's wheat and cotton—piled high in cities from coast to coast—is still untouched for unemployment relief. The board's proposition to sell at current prices was made last September, when relief forces were swinging into high gear in the task of caring for the| Nation's unfortunate. So far there|groves. This he believes to have been have been no takers. Reimbursement Possibility. One possibility remains. Congress may euthorize reimbursement of the board for amounts sufficient to succor the | needy and then distribute the supolies | free to local organizations for milling and distribution. The board is not em- powered to give away its supplies. The possibility of congressional ac- | tion, however, seems a remote cne, at Jeast, in so far as it might affect the board’s stocks. If anything is done, wheat and cotton probably would be | - purchased from normal trade chan-| nels, further to help farmers, whose | backs are bending under burdensome surpluses. | Below 200,000,000 Bushels. | Fallure to have its offer accepted means the board has lost another chance to put a bigger dent in its wheat holdings, which have been dwindling from their high peak of more than 250,000,000 bushels. They now are slightly below 200,000,000. The board's proposal was addressed to national'relief agencics. They passed it up on various grounds. Some be- lieved that any purchases should be made from the private trade. An agreement was reached, however with the Farmers' Union, a grain co- operative, for the sale of 100,000 bush- els to be turned over to the Red Cross for distribution among the Northwest's drought sufferers. KLEIN CALLS COLORED SCHOOLS INVESTMENT Commerce Official Pleads for Bet- ter Education, in Radio. Address. More ample colored educational facilities would prove a worth-while in- vestment from a business as well as a social viewpoint, Dr. Julius Klein, As- sistant Secretary of Commerce, declared last night in a radio address over the National Broadcasting Co. network. The address was part of a special Negro education program. . “It is apparent that the Negro is splendidly on the upgrade, both as a business man and as a customer,” Dr. Klein said. “The ambitions of the race have been kindled. New vistas have been opened. The Negro has proven that, with opportunity, he can achieve success in almest any business fleld. And he is eager to know how to fill his place effectively in any of the diverse spheres of industry and trade.” Other speakers on the program in- cluded Dr. Ambrcse Caliver, specialist on the education of Negroes of the De- partment of Interior, and H. Councill ‘Trenholm, president cf the Alabama State Teachers College, and president of the National Association of Teachers in colored schools. Garnet C. Wilkin- son_presided. Dr. Caliver said that “Negroes can contribute no more to the national wel- fare than is made possible by the edu- cational opportunities they enjoy.” He appealed to students, teachers, parents and educational authorities to do all in their power to increase Negro en- lightenment. Mr. Trenholm decried the low sal- ries paid colored school teachers. ok P WILL HEAR SINGERS XKiwanis Club Will Be Entertained by Audition Winners. Ina Holtzscheiter and Edwin C.

The explorer, Bertram Thomas, first penetrated as far as the forbidden city of Dhufar, which he identifies with the biblical Ophir from which Solomon obtained gold and frankincense which “lies on a crescent plain which edges the sea and is studded with the re- mains of ancient citfes.” From thence he crossed the Qara mountains and descended _into valleys of frankincense the frankincense country of the Bible. From here the trail led into a sandhill country swept by sandstorms and where his party experienced severe cold | and where he discovered a salt lake | 7 miles long. He made his way to the coast in safety. One result of the expedition was the collection of approximately 20 new species of animals, including two new foxes, a snake and various insects.
