CONTROL Weather Influences Potato Prices and Relieves Plagued Officials. By the Associated Press. Freezing weather in the Far West | today elated officials in charge of the agricultural adjustment program as| potato prices shot upward and the need | for a spud control program lessened. } Artificial control of this crop, au- | thorized by Congress in its closing days, has plagued the A. A. A. for two months. In the last 30 days, the price of one major commercial type of potato has more than doubled, and prices of other varieties have advanced sharply. Potato control and a benefit subsidy program would be unnecessary if this trend continues. Principal reasons given for the price increases are early freezing weather in large Western producing States and market reaction to preparations for compulsory potato production control next year. 8, FILM SHOWS POLICED SAULT STE.

Bigger, better and more numer- ous ships will be the outcome of that gathering, where every parti- cipant will state, diplomatically, that he is menaced by his neigh- bor. It will end in a fiesta of new naval constructions. * % ok ¥ As for the war debts, well that is more amusing still. America’s debtors have said plainly | that they do not refuse to recognize their indebtedness, but they are so | hard up that it would wreck their | financial and economic structure if they were to pay us a nickel at the present time. * %k X They all go on the theory that if a country has no money it certainly cannot pay its debts. A very quick survey of the ex- penditure made in the last few months, since the Italian-Ethiopian war started, proves that the prin- cipal debtor nations have spent more money already than it would have taken to pay the last two installments due to the United States. And this is only the be- ginning. It is estimated that the European powers will have to spend no less than $5,000,000,000 on new warships, on the rejuvenation of their air forces and on the mechanization and moderniza- tion of their land forces. This rep-| resents about 40 per cent of the debt to the United States. * x ok x The Italo-Ethiopian war brings forth the usage of the most modern and most antiquated weapons of war. While factories in Italy are working on a 24-hour-a-day schedule to supply the Italian army with the most up-to-date tanks and airplanes, the flint-knappers of Brandon, England— where arrows were made before the Romans went over—are working over- time to supply Selassie’s warriors with SHIP 10 To Cobh, Plymouth, Havre, Homburg Pres.

The German eco- nomic dictator, Dr. Schacht, has put his foot’down and won't allow even the most important German' film company, the Ufa Co. any foreign exchgnge to produce films with real landscapes from Africa, Europe and Asia. The Ufa people have found a way out, however. For their last movie they had to shoot their out- door scenes on the coast of the Canary Islands. They chartered Jor the purpose a German ship which was used mot only as a storchouse for the five trucks of film material needed, but was also the boarding house for the 45 actors in the cast. ‘The ship anchored in harbors and | the ‘actors landed only to play their part. As soon as it was over they went back on board the steamer, where they spent the rest of the day on German territory, where “marks were | | marks.” 0.

Filippo Liberatore, 47-year-old wood- carver, who was complimented by President and Mrs. Roosevelt for his talent, has been identified as the man whose body was taken from the ! Potomac River late yesterday near Highway Bridge. Identifi- § cation was made by a cousin, Mrs. Mary White, who said Liberatore, a restaurent pro- prietor at 508 G street, lived at 915 Pirst street. A newspaper :» clipping dated April 9, found among Libera- tore's belongings, described the pres- entation of a cherry wood carving of Secretary of Labor Perkins that was to take place the following day.

Breaking Seen for Some time. Dissoluition or “voluntary disband- ing” of the Steel Helmet organiza- tion has been predicted for some time by its officials. The Stahlhelm, once a big factor | in German affairs, has been said by Nazis to be an organization of re- actionism and conservatism, and not completely Nazi. In the drive last Summer against Jewry, political Catholicism and other “dissidents,” the Steel Helmet mem- bers were called “state enemies.” Differences between the Steel Hel- | | i | | | met men and the Hitler Brown Shirts came to'a head in June, 1935, and | A<k ends. since then the association had lost greatly in membership and in impor- tance. Once numbering about 1,500,- 000 men, it lost its strength with the dissolution of various units through- out the Reich until little more than the name remained. Hoped (Against Edict. The Steel Helmet members had hoped Hitler would nat formally dis- solve their organization, planning to announce their voluntary disbandment about Armistice day. They said they felt that in such a case there might be some Germans who would give them silent thanks for their part in the World War and for seeking ‘rearmament long before Hitler became a national figure. They had declared themselves too proud of their traditions and deeds to merge with other less prominent vet- erans’ groups, 8s the Nazis wished.
