CHICAGO, July 7 (#.—In one of the wildest markets in months, wheat soared to new high price records for the season, highest since August. 1934, and then tum- bled back sharply more than 53 cents a bushel today.

Meanwhile a White House confer- ence on the drought crisis was called for this afternoon by President Roosevelt, and Weather Bureau pre- dictions forecast continued aridity and “abnormally high” temperatures for the affected area. | Sections Affected. A. A. A. officials said the modifica- tions would apply to officially desig- nated emergency drought areas to be named later this week, principally in North Dakota, Montana and Wyo- ming. | The change was made, they added, to preserve all available forage for live stock feed and to encourage the planting of forage and feed crops for use during the coming Fall and ‘Winter. George E. Farrell, Western regional | director, recommended the changes after an inspection tour of the drought | areas. | Farmers in designated counties may | comply with the soil conservation pro- | gram under the modified regulations | and still receive subsidy payments, it was said, or they may comply with the original regulations, depending upon drought damage on their individ- | ual farms. Invited to White House. Those invited to the White House meeting were Rexford G .Tugwell, resettlement administrator; Aubrey Williams, assistant works progress administrator; J. B. Hutson, acting A. A. A. administrator, and Jesse W. ‘Tapp, chairman of the Agriculture De- partment Drought Committee. At the same time, a report was being prepared for submission to * Agricultural Adjustment Administra-| tor Tolley, suggesting the amount of | benefit payments for farmers whose seeded soil-conserving crops did not yield or were damaged by drought. Payments will be made to many who seeded legumes, but it had not been | decided whether to make part or full payments on green fertilizer crops | which did not come up. | In any event, officials said, the| *No. 1 payment” for retirement of | 15 per cent of cultivated acreage) will be made. The first payment also | will be made to farmers resettled ‘under the plan of voluntary surrender | of lands definitely arid. | Officials were spurred in their | drought relief undertakings by a | grim account of conditions furnished | by . Farrell, just back from an in- epection tour of the parched area. Farrell said there had been a very rerious drop in the underground water table, an important source of moisture. The Geological Survey immediately began an intensive study of fluctu- ations of this table in the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. PRICES HIT NEW HIGHS. { CHICAGO, July 7 (#).—Driven by the fifth consecutive day of record- shattering temperatures no indi- cation of a break in middle America’s prolonged drought, grains and com- modities soared to new seasonal highs today. Simultaneously the Farmers’ Na- tional Holiday Association appealed to President Roosevelt and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to abandon production curtailment measures in the parched farm belt. The. swift upward movement in commodity prices came as a searing sun raised the mercury far above the century mark in many official ther- mometers, crop losses advanced to- ward the $300,000,000 level and pes- simism mounted.

BURLINGAME, Kans, July 7— The persistent belief of Burlingame citizens that the December disap- pearance of Mrs. Frank Villemonte, 65-year-old “goat woman,” could be solved in her own locked house was rewarded today by discovery of her basement grave. One of her tenants, Alex Ure, 45- year-old rent collector, was charged with slaying the woman, who lived with his family and employed him. County Attorney Charles Heizer quoted Ure as saying he shot her “because she had run out of money and asked me to kill her.” Responding to repeated requests of friends and neighbors of the woman, officers broke into the farm home yesterday and discovered Mrs. Ville- monte’s body in a shallow grave, buried with two of her pet dogs. Heizer said Ure explained, in an oral statement, that he shot the woman believing she had some money con- cealed in her house, but denied taking any. Mrs. Villemonte became known as the “goat woman” because the live- stock she tended daily included & number of goats. Ure had explained to inquisitive neighbors that she had “gone to s hospital” and that he had “taken her to Topeka and put her on a train.” The county attorney said Ure told of shooting the woman, rolling her body down the basement steps, digging a grave, and shooting the two dogs that were buried with her. @h WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION ¢ Toening Star WASHINGTON, D.

COPENHAGEN, Jily 7.—The ap-| proaching marriage of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, United States Minister to Denmark, to a tall. fair-haired cap- | tain of King Christian's bodyguard was announced today by the captain’s mother. The prospective bridegroom iz Capt. Boerge Rohde, 42 years old, and bear- | ing the title “Kammerjunker“—hon- | orary gentleman groom to the King.

(Mrs. Owen's secretary, in New York, said the Minister “had no com- ment to make,” but friends of the fam- ily said the report of the engagement ‘was correct.)

C,, July 7.—Mod- ern identification methods will be used soon to find the answer to a riddle of history—the century-old mystery of Marshal Ney, Napoleon Bonaparte’s military strategist. Supposedly, the marshal was exe- cuted for treason in France on De- cember 7, 1815, after Napoleon's exile, but some historians have contended Ney’s execution was faked and that he escaped to America under the name of Peter Stewart Ney. A French fencing school teacher by that name landed at Charleston, 8. C., in 1816 and taught in many parts of North Carolina. On his deathbed he was said by witnesses to have ad- mitted his identity. He lies buried in an-old cemefery near Statesville, N. C. c.w_.Anr, Be Solved in Carolina author of several books on the mys- Littlejohn said today arrangements had been made to exhume the body within a few weeks. Bone measurements will be made, they said, and the earth sifted for the principal clue to the mystery—a silver trepan said to have been placed in head after he was wounded on the battlefield. Physicians, dentists, morticians and others will be present to aid in the identification, Allison said, as well as several historians who have done haustive research in the case.

The District Commissioners today approved the $1.50 tax rate for the District during the current year. ‘The rate had been recommended by Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District audi- tor, in view of a possible deficit of $980,365. Dconovan also explained that because current revenues will be 80 small all of the unexpended and unappropriated balance of the sur- plus raised in 1922 will have to be ex- pended this year. Commissioner Hazen said that in spite of the apparent shortage in in- come, there will be no delay in draft- ing the new 1938 budget. “There will be a gap between what we get and what we need,” said Hazen. | the Federal Government's contribution or by new taxation. Until the Presi- dent names his special committee and completes his study we don't know from.” New Revenue Study Ordered. Several days ago Hazen ordered the Special Committee on Taxation to re- view its studies of possible new sources of revenue. Maj. Donovan, chairman, said the committee will get to work at once. Maj. Donovan made his recom- | mendation informally last Saturday, | and presented it formally today in| spite of a possible deficit in current | revenues of $3,718,409. This deficit will be the largest in the history of the District but, it was | explained, the District still will be able to “pay-as-you-go” as provided under the act of June 29, 1922, Surplus Carried Over. An unappropriated surplus of $2,758,044 is being carried forward as a part of the general fund. | Maj. Donovan is hopeful that the | study ordered by Congress to meet the situation, but he still is also relying on possible new sources of revenue now under study by the spe- cial committee. This committee made its prelim- inary studies nearly a year ago under the chairmanship of E. Barrett Prettyman, then corporation coun- sel. dts conclusions left open four ! itance tax, increased gasoline tax, a | weight tax on motor vehicles, and an increase in public utilities taxes. | Donovan succeeded Prettyman as chairman. Either from one or the other, Maj. Donovan said, the necessary income | must come if the District is to main- tain its present record of no defaults and no debts. Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engineer Com- missioner, was much discouraged ! yesterday after reading Maj. Dono- van's report. “A deficit is always sad,” he said. Donovan, on the other hand, had a quick response as to how the money should be raised. “The Federal contribution should | be larger,” he said. The auditor agreed that an equit- | able solution to the share of the Fed- eral contribution could be reached if the depdrtments would be required to pay taxes at the rate of $1.50 per $100 | on the property they occupy. That rate is the same as assessed and col- lected from private citizens and Don- ovan believes it would be fair for the | Unfed States. He refrained, however, from making such a recommendation in the hope that the committee to be named by the President will give the subject full consideration.

QFFICE OF FiRST ASSISTANT POSTMASTER® LEWIS ASKS HELP N STEEL BATLE Promises Fight to Finish in Organizing Labor of Industry. BACKGROUND— The steel industry, numbering some 500,000 workers and termec a $5,000,000,000 enterprise, has resist- ed all attempts at unionization. In 1934, A. F. of L. convention at San Francisco voted third attempt at organization, but drive did not get beyond planning stage. Las: Fall John L. Lewis and group of leaders of industrial union school joined to form Committee for Industrial Or- ganization Recently they an- nounced intention of organizing steel industry, thus precipitating break with craft union faction in control of A. F. of L. Ezecutive Council of latter meets tomorrow to discuss possible action against C. I. 0. “insurgents.” BY JOHN C. HENRY. Sweeping J. P, Morgan and the New York financiers into the enemy camp along Wwith the steel industry proper and enlisting the implied sup- port of President Roosevelt by quot- ing him twice during last night's radio address, John L. Lewis, chairman for the Committee on Industrial Organ- ization, today called for increased intensity in organization efforts in the important areas of the $5,000,~ 000,000 steel industry. The strategy of the belligerent union leader's speech last night was evident throughout, but probably none the less effective for fits lack of | subtlety. His appeal, for instance, was di- rected to all the ranks of labor and even to those who might sympathize with labor in the common cause of hostility toward the “banker barons™ and “economic royalists” who have been so ofteri attacked in recent years. And most specifically did he call on the workers in the textile, lumber, rubber and automotive industries— mass production industries which already have been marked for atten- tion of the C. I. O.—to join actively in the industrial organization drive which has made the steel mills its first target. - Popular Liberals Cited. Twice he classed the rulers of the steel industry among the “black sheep” attacked by President Roosevelt on different occasions and cited among those who have fought in the same cause such popular liberals as the late Senator La Follette, Justice Brandeis, President Theodore Roose- velt and Senator Norris. Speaking in sonorous and solemn tones, he never once asked or ex- tended any hope of quarter in the impending fight. But the responsi- bility for any violence, he emphasized, will be solely upon the shoulders of the leaders of industry, and upon “those who are really responsible.” ‘While Lewis was furnishing the fire- works of the moment in the steel- labor fight, it was announced that a “tentative” agreement has been reached in connection with a six weeks’ strike at the Portsmouth, Ohio, plant of the Wheeling Steel Corp. Company and labor leaders concurred in the announcement, the Ilatter adding that the agreement still is subject to ratification by employes. Terms of the agreement were not dis- closed. Twice in the early part of his ad- dress, Lewis accused the American Iron and Steel Institute of “contro- vening” the law. “The institute says,” Lewis contin- ued, “that it favors the right of or- ganization among its employes with- out coercion from any source. What coercion can the representatives of organized labor exert upon the work- ers in these plants and what appeal (See STEEL, Page A-3.) e SUGAR PLANTER SLAIN New Orleans Posse Hunts Suspect in Champagne Death.

BACKGROUND— Freedom of the Dardanelles Straits was guaranteed by major powers under the terms of the Lausanne treaty. Turkey, interest- ed in rearming the straits as a security measure, caused astonish- ment in treaty-breaking Europe several months ago by seeking “per- mission” to take over the straits. Quickly word came from Russia that such a plan would be accept- able. Blessings likewise were ez- pected from France. A meeting of the treaty signatories has been called to consider the question.

Before the Governor came to the dais, a parliamentary maneuver by a Democratic dissenter, State Senator Joe McDonald, prevented immeadiate consideration by the Senate of a resolution to limit the scope of the special session. Under Senate rules unanimous consent was necessary for immediate action on the resolution of essary to enact such a resolution. Evidencing Landon’s new vlace as leader of the party ticket in the pres- idential campaign was the presence on the floor of national political leaders.
