BRIDGE PRIZE WON BY MIDWEST TEAM lllinois-Ohio Quartet Gets City of Asbury Park Trophy. By .re Associated Press. ASBURY PARK, N. J., August 10.— A team of Illinois and Ohio contract bridge players was on its way back to the Middle West today with the City of Asbury Park Trophy, emblem- | atic of the knock-out team of four | championship of the American Bridge League. Louis J. Haddad of Chicago, & former president of the league and generally rated the best bridge player west of the Alleghanies, headed the | team, which included Matthew 8. Reilly of Chicago, Philip Steiner and Lewis Bernard of Cincinnati and Alvin Landy of Cleveland. Landy was an added starter, pressed into service in the semi-final round after Bernard was called home by the ill- ness of his mother. The Westerners won the title by de- feating Sir Derrick Wernher of Deal, N. J.; E. Melvin Goddard of this city, Dr. Henry J. Vogel of New York and Sidney Silidor. of Hempstead, Long Island, in the final round of the tournament early this morning. The margin of victory was 3,130 points. It was the first time Steiner and Landy had played together, but their partnership functioned smoothly from the moment they sat down. For Haddad it was the second cham- pionship of the seven-day tournament. He captured the mixed team of four championship Tuesday playing with Miss Elizabeth Whitney also of Chi-| cago, Mrs. Eliot Evans of Evanston, Ill, and Robert McPherran, 21-year-old Philadelphia sensation. Earlier in the match, considered the most gruelling of all duplicate play as well as the best test of skill. the Four Aces, Oswald Jacoby, David Burnstine, Howard Schenken and B. Jay Becker, were eliminated, along with the de- fending champions, Edward Hymes, Jr.; Theodore Lightner, M. D. Maler and Sam Fry, jr. Drought (Continued From First Page.) bushels, chiefly from the Argentine, came over the tariff wall of 25 cents a bushel. The other crop estimates as of July 1 follow: All wheat, 638,399.000 bushels; Win- ter wheat, 512,085,000; Spring wheat, 126,314,000 Advance information on crop con- ditions could yield a fortune on specu- lative markets. The Government's crop-reporting machinery has been | designed so ‘“everybody gets the in- | formation at the same time,” said A. R. Tuttle, secretary of the board. ‘The crop reports, in addition to | commodity market value, serve as a guide to bankers on loans, railroads on cars needed and manufacturers and merchants generally. Meanwhile, a shift of millions of | acres of land in the Great Plains from crop farming to stock ranciing | and other forms of grazing was snid; by the Resettlement Administration | to be “necessary to combat continued | drought.” The opinion was expressed :n con- nection with a survey on land use by Dr. L. C. Gray, assistant to Adminis- trator Rexford Guy Tugwell and a technical adviser to the President’s Great Plains Drought Committee. This group is preparing a series of long-range measures intended to modify the affects of future droughts. It was expected the “basic changes” | outlined yesterday would be mcludedi in the report to President Rooseselt. Dr. Gray's study asserted that more than half of Montana, Morth Dakota | and South Dakota included plowed | crop land, which officials said must be | returned to grass or forage crops. Similar areas of large size were ces- ienated in Colorado, Wyoming and | New Mexico, with smaller districts in | Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahcma and | Texas, The report said that much of the area which had ocen designated ss “official drought area” during the | current arid season was “good farm | land, capable of producing profitable crops” with normal rainfall. 1he ad- ministration said that ~mergency Fed- eral measures vould suffice in these, such as loans and relief jobs. Emergency measures could not solve the problem ior large areas “continu- ally subject to drought, and therefore not adapted toc crop farming,” the agency added, however. These three types of readjustment ware suggested: Conversion of ciop land to grazing range; increases in size of existing farm units, and small water servoir projects to assure live stock feed. Dr. Gray said that in none of the areas would all crop land “have to be retired,” because “good farm land always is mixed in with areas not adapted to crop production.” and soil exposed to the wind. PORK SHORTAGE THREATENS, CHICAGO, August 10 (#).—A pork shortage in the United States was threatened today as Western farmers held their corn for fancy drought prices. Hogs have been hurried to market in “much larger” numbers than usual for the last month, shippers reported yesterday, and higher prices this Win- ter or next year were foreseen as a re- sult. J. Edward Wynne, one of the lead- ing provisions specialists on the Board of Trade, explained that farmers, con- fident that prices will rise to fancy heights (September futures were quoted at $1.075% a bushel on Satur- day), are holding back their corn to sell rather than use it as feed, —_—— EDUCATIONAL.

The British foreign office said it was advised the shell which took Savile’s life and wounded his wife was fired by the Almirante Cervera, rebel cruiser. The protest was wirelessed by Am- bassador Henry G. Chilton to & British -destroyer for relay to the Spanish vessel. Pending instructions from London, said the message, the British govern- ment reserved the right “to obtain compensation.” Capture of 13 Spanish communities dominated by rebels was announced by Madrid’s loyalist troops as insur- gents massed in the far north for an offensive against San Sebastian and Irun. Hunger and thirst menaced the besieged seaside resort. The government predicted a quick end to the civil war, now in its twenty-fourth day. 800 Reported Killed. Government claims covered: Re- pulse of a rebel attack at Navelperal. in the Guadarrama Mountains, with 800 Fascists reported killed; capture of the town of Lugones and seizure of a munitions factory in Oviedo Province; occupation of 10 towns in Teruel Province during an advance on marching on Zaragoza and capture of Ibiza, capital of an island of the same name in the Balearics. Reports from rebel lines mear the Franco-Spanish border related forces of Fascists were gathering for an attack on both San Sebastian and Irun. The Madrid war ministry said insurgents at Burgos and Valladolid faced dangers of epidemics because | the bodies of the dead were not being buried. Reports received in Hendaye, France, said Gen. Emilio Mola, rebel commander in the north, had been urged by Gen. Francisco Franco, gen- eralissimo of the revolution, to take San Sebastian and Irun as a block against possible rear guard attacks by Leftist militia. ) Fascists claimed victory at Huesca in Northeastern Spain in an engage- ment costing the lives of 100 loyal- ist_troops. Southern rebel troops, attempting to mop up Loyalist opposition completely the hills surrounding the southwestern Spanish community of Badajoz for an assault, northern rebel headquarters announced. Their strategy was described as an encircling movement to effect a junc- tion with insurgents in Caceres Province, just to the north of Badajoz Province. ‘The rebels said it would be only a ==whether regular h Py ts or friends who' are inter. ested in Carson_Lol ele- phone Captain Shan) In view of England’s warning last | in their march on Madrid, occupied | matter of days until the two forces were joined.

Ry tbe Associated Press. MADRID, August 10.—Between 30 and 40 Americans, mostly women and children, planned to leave Madrid tonight by train for Valencia to board the United States cruiser Quincy. The cruiser is scheduled to sail for Marseille, France, tomorrow. The French and British Embassies put pressure on their nationals to | take advantage of regular train serv- | ice to the east coast of the peninsula and be evacuated while, they said, conditions were favorable. Several hundred French and Brit- ish citizens were expected to depart from Madrid soon, reducing the for- eign population of the capital largely to men whose business made it im- perative that they stay. Departure List Incomplete. ‘The list of Americans leaving was incomplete, but they include the fol- lowing: Mrs. Stephen Fuqua, Baton Rouge, La. wife of an American military attache whose daughter Janette is now in France. Mrs. John Johnson and two chil- dren, the family of the American Consul. Mrs. Albert Nufer and two daugh- ters, Hazel and Mirlam, the family of the American commercial attache at the embassy. Mrs. Roger Smith and four children, New York City. Mrs. John Plauche and five chil- dren, New Orleans. Mrs. Lora Green and two children, Ann Arbor, Mich. This group will be accompanied by Nufer to Valencia. After embarking them he will return to his post. American Consul Thomas D. Davis, at Valencia, was prepared to meet the American refugees with motor cars and transfer their baggage to the Quincy. With tonight's departures, it was stated at the embassy, it will be an easy matter to watch over the 100 Americans who are still in the Madrid area and resident in their own homes. German commercial airplanes which for the last few days have been serving Madrid with both airmail and passenger service have been refused further permits to operate. Some Americans had planned to leave Spain by air. U. S. S. OKLAHOMA AT VIGO. By the Associated Press.
