SUBSIDIES STUDIED TO ALLAY DROUGHT Soil Conservation Act May Be Probed in Hunt tor Authority. By the Associated Press. A. A. A officials said today that if the drought continued to cut down food and feed crops, they might seek means of subsidizing agricultural prod- ucts of which there was an insufficient supply. Mastin G. White, Agriculture De- partment solicitor, said thre was no Present need for subsidies. but that if the drought were intensified, the A. A. A legal department probably would search the soil conservation act in an effort to find authority to compensate expansion of farm commodities. Wheat Purchase Approved. Other drought developments during the day included: 1. A. A. A approval of the purchase of 2,000,000 bushels of white wheat from the Pacific Northwest for relief distribution in drought areas. 2. Designation of 38 additional coun- ties in South Dakota, South Carolina, Missouri and Arkansas for emerency rating, bringing the total number of counties to 490 in 15 States. 3. Orders to ship 108 carloads of foodstuffs into Missouri for free dis- tribution to the destitute. Authority in Section. Meantime, White said, the nearest approach to authority for national ad- Justment upward of crop production @ppeared to be contained in the fifth clause of section 7 of the soil conserva- tion act, which was substituted for the original agricultural adjustment act. Never invoked, the clause provides for “re-establishment, at as rapid a rate @s the Secretary of Agriculture de- termines to be practicable and in the general public interest, of the ratio between the purchasing power of the net income per person on farms and that of the income per person not on farms that prevailed during the five- year period August 1909-July 1914.” Revoli_ (Continued From First Page.) dominates the situation and declares it will not be long in announcing to public opinion the re-establishment of normality.” President Manuel Azana occupied the national palace instead of his of- ficial residence as government au- thorities took precautions against dis- orders. Although officials said tranquillity prevailed throughout the country, un- easy rumors were heard. A strict censorship on telephones, telegraphs and cables made an ade- quate survey of the situation difficult. NINE REPORTED KILLED. Many Wounded in Spread of Morocco Uprising. By the Assoctated Press. CASABLANCA, French Morocco, July 18 (By Telephone to Paris).— Nine were killed in the revolt of Span- ish troops at Melilla; Spanish Morocco, teday, said inhabitants of the Spanish zone who crossed the frontier into French territory. They added that many were wounded at Larache, to which the rebellion spread. A general strike was called there after the army had taken pos- session of all civilian posts. Nearly all public services were re- ported in the hands of the rebellious troops, whose aim was said to be the seizure of control of the government. Communications Cut Off. Details of the uprising were scarce since communications were cut be- tween the French and Spanish zones, but frontier reports gave the impres- #ion the situation was serious.

Girl Slain NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, NEW DANZIG LAWS STRIKE NAZI FOES Constitution Virtually Set Aside—Poles, Indignant, Appeal to Warsaw. By the Associated Press. FREE CITY OF DANZIG, July 18. —Dr. Arthur Karl Greiser, President o the Danzig Senate, by a series of administrative decree, today virtual- ly set aside the free city's consti- tution. In keeping with his threat of July 6 to crush opposition to the Danzig Nazi party government without in- fringing the letter of the constitu- tion, he nevertheless practically set it aside. Diplomatic circles were concerned over the attitude to be taken by Sean Lester, high commissioner for the League of Nations, and whether Poland will object. The sweeping decrees calculated to crush opposition to the Danzig Nazi party were published by the government of the free city. Troops Asked at Warsaw. Polish indignation at Dr. Greiser's decrees vented itself in unofficial ge- mands by Polish residents that War- saw dispatch troops, or at least police, to safeguard their constitutional rights. It was the opinion of resi- dent Poles the Danzig Senate by its decrees transferred the Nazi conflict with the League of Nations into one with Poland. These decrees, If iuade effective, are held by the Polish element of the city to be a clear violation of the free city's constitution. It is understood High Commissioner | Lester, in a last attempt at concilia- tion, will ask the Danzig Senate for an explanation, immediately to the League. Whatever | he may decide to do, however, the Poles of Danzig declared they want to take no chances and hence are ap- pealing to Warsaw for aid. Dr. Greiser's orders, they said, affect them as a Polish minority quite as adversely as | does German opposition to Nazi-ism. Officials Surprised. The decrees surprised Lester and Dr. Casimir Papee, Polish envoy to Danzig. Only 10 days ago Dr. Greiser assured Dr. Papee he would not vio- late the constitution. Poland contends the Danzig con- stitution is an integral part of its status and that this status cannot be changed by unilateral action, | |COLOMBIAN RUINS YIELD | TWELVE QUAKE VICTIMS | Number of Casualties Believed Not Large, However—Relief | | Commissions Arrive. | Ey th Associated Press. | TUQUERRES, Colombia, July 18— | Twelve bodies were found today in the | ruins of earthquake-shaken Tuquerres. | It was believed, however, that the | numbcr of casualities from the dis- ! aster which struck yesterday would; | not be large, because a majority of the | inhabitants have been living in pro- visional wooden huts in their back vember and January.

By the Associated Press. 'TOPEKA, Kans, July 18.—John R. McCarl, who for 15 years kept official tab on the Federal Government’s out- going dollars, pictured Gov. Alf M. Landon today as a “sanely progressive” presidential candidate, deeply con- cerned ‘“over our ever-increasing ex- penditures and our ever-mounting pub- lic debt.” The former controller general, who retired from office June 30, an out- spoken foe of “‘extravagant spending,” spent an hour and a half talking with the Republican nominee yesterday. Asked if he would campaign for Landon, McCarl replied, “That will depend upon developments arnd whether | I think I can be of service.” | When he came out of Landon’s office, McCarl declined to be inter- viewed by reporters, but later issued a statement giving his impressions of | Landon. “As President of the United States,” McCarl said of Landon, “he will neither become a dictator nor view- the plight of the people from such isolated and lofty eminence as to be tempted to- ward fantastic experiments rather than sound and practical measures. “He impresses one as being sanely | progressive, intent upon moving con- stantly forward, but always on a safe and sound basis—evolution, not reve- lution, and rehabilitation before re- form.” McCarl said Landon “possesses such | a keen sense of responsibility for a| public trust that undoubtedly his full | influence will be exerted for curtail- | ment of appropriations to amounts reasonably necessary for legitima‘e yards since the earthquakes last No- | where the Spanish colonial town— | kota, Nebraska and Kansas, he said. | Northeastern Missouri and Southeast- | ern Iowa, with similar rains due this | | undertakings by the Federal Govern- ment.” 'DROWNING VICTIM'S FUNERAL ON MONDAY ! . | Youth Who Died Swimming in| | C. & 0.

The tail and elevators bore the stamped name, “Canadian Airplanes, Ltd,” and the number “4-ND-1-8V.” Commerce Department officials said today they had. no registration of any plane by “Canadian Airplanes, Ltd.” the marking found on wreckage re- covered by lifeguards at Venice, Calif. They said planes were registered for “Canadian Airways, Ltd., of Montreal, described as the largest airplane oper- ating company in Canada, but that they could not tell whether the plane which evidently crashed near‘ Venice was owned by that company.

Pittman of Raleigh, a guest in the hotel, to have been standing just within the girl's room shortly after screams came from her direction | in the small hours Thursday. Police said Pittman would interview the colored man today to see whether he could identify the voice. Pittman, employe of the State Banking Depart- ment, testified at a coroner’s inquest | yesterday that he heard screams, went into the hall and asked the man in the door across the way; “Did you hear that?” He received no reply until after a second remark, when the man, dimly outlined in reflected light from the hallway, answered, “Yes, that's what I was wondering about.” Inquest witnesses who saw a strange man in the hotel have been unable to say whether he was white or colored. Urey was detained after police found a discarded shirt with reddish-brown stains at his home. Police Chief W. J. Everett said the stains would bpe analyzed today. Several guests occupying rooms on the same floor as Miss Clevenger said they heard a woman’s screams about 1am. The crime was not discovered, however, until 8:30 am. Clad in green pajamas, she lay on the floor, her legs crumpled beneath her body as if, police sald, she was begging for mercy when the killer fired. Prior to the detention of the colored bellboy and the finding of the stained shirt at his home, investigators had announced they were following three “leads” or clues. They were: 1. The lethal bullet, which Coroner George F. Baler, jr., said was of a small caliber and possibly was fired from a gun of a foreign make. 2. A description, though scant, of a man seen scurrying across the mez- zanine into an after-midnight thun- derstorm, a few minutes after the time at which officers fixed the killing. 3. Pingerprints on a lamp shade in the girl's room. Durham Jones, another bellboy, told the coroner’s jury he saw a man dash- ing hatless into the rain a few minutes after other guests heard s woman's screams and groans above the raging storm. Casey Jones, a taxi driver, said he saw apparently the same man leap & balustrade into the street after emerg- ing from the building. ! Police asked authorities in Washing- ton, D. C,, to make a report on a man whose name was found in the girl's address book, but later snnounced they had learned the man was a friend of the family, The coroner's inquest yesterday did not turn up any new information.

RENTALS KUBLAIKHANHELD POOR SONG APPEAL But Specialist at Hearing Likes Snappy, Modern “l Adore You.” Kublai Khan simply has no popu- lar song appeal, in the opinion of Henry R. Sohen, Hollywood *“song servieing” specialist. As for a nice, snappy phrase like, “You know that I adore you,” that’s modern, he says. These tips on song writing came out yesterday in the long, drawn-out solici- tor’s hearing at the Post Office Depart- ment shortly before a recess until Mon« day, when spectators can look forward to a renewal of the “musical siege.” Cohen, chief of staff of the Universal Song Service, is defending his con- cern’s rights to use the maiis in its business. Kublai Khan was a classical refer- ence in the lyric, “Girl of the Dale” composed by W. C. O'Brien, post office attorney, and submitted to Universal when he was mapping the Govern- ment’s investiga‘ic1 of Universal's offer to assist amateur writers to put their work in shape for publication for |a $50 fee. How First Version Started. The original verse begins: “Adown the dale Like a nightingale Comes my heart’s desire.” And the chorus is: “For all time's span T'll be your man Like Kublai Khan.” O'Brien doesn't think that's much ot a song, but Universal offered to “serv- ice” it and Cohen wrote a revision after he came to Washington to show it has n “idea.” | “Who is Kublai Khan?" O'Brien de- manded yesterday, and Cohen thought |a minute. |~ “As far as I know he's a Chinaman,” he said. “Why did you leave him out of the revised version?” queried O'Brien after “ Cohen said he had attempted to in- incorporate the original idea of the submitted lyric in the revision. “On account of him being a China- man,” Cohen answered. “And in the chorus you simply said, ‘You know that I adore you,' " O'Brien continued. “That's modern,” the song writer ex= plained. “Kublai Khan was a thoue sand years old.” Adds Another Couplet. O'Brien added another couplet to the lyric when Horace J. Donnelly, sr., re- spondent’s counsel, suggested he was trying to feature the song ‘‘because he is the author.” “What you mean to say is “‘The girl of the dale is getting stale,’ ” he rhymed As for Universal's offer to arrange the song for publication. O'Brien still says, off the record. that it's no sale, Edward H.
