Dec. _ —(UP) —The discovery that chaulmoogra, the Asian tree from which the most effective remedy for leptosy yet found is derived, grows well in Porto Rico, has resulted in bringing seedlings half way around the world ! in an fefort to stamp out the dread scourge of mankind in the Western I Hemisphere. Brought from Siam and the East Indian Islands several years ago, the first chaulmoogra trees in the New World were planted in one cor ner of the small leper colony at Trujillo Alto, Porto Rico. They have thrived remarkably, William P ! Kramer, head of the Porto Rico for estry system, revealed when he visited National headquarters of the forest service here. Porto Rico was envasaged not only as an important nursery center but* as a future
source of chaulmoogra oil, the specific product which has helped i many leprosy sufferers. I As much as $lO each has been | paid for the seedlings, some of | which have been flown to inland ' Porto Rico by airplane after being j transported by steamer across the ) Pacific and through the Panama ; Canal to Caribbean ports. —o o Congress Today By United Press Senate Adjourned over week end.

FRANCE THRIVES ON EXPORT OF NAUGHTY BOOKS — U. S. Shown as Heaviest Smuggler of Banned Literature By Stewart Brown United Press Staff Correspondent Paris, Dec. -’UP)-—All that is bootlegged into the United States from abroard is not rum, dresses , and petftimery. Books, dirty books I the American censors call them, are a heavy item among illegal entries into the United States, hints the bulletin of Maison du Livre. Since the war French book exports have increased phenomenally especially to the United States. While giving the United States credit for improved taste in reading it is hinted here a large share of the imports, mostly illegal comprise books banned in America. Unexpurated editions of James Joyce’s “Ulysses’’ and D. H. Lawrence's “Lady Chatterley’s Lover’’ are among the best sellers. Every book store in Paris craries window exhibits of prominent “banded" books. Figured in pounds. French book exports have increasedan average of about 300,000 pounds yearly since the war. The estimated exportation for 1929 is around 16 million volumes. United States, 'Great Britian, Belgium, Switzerland. Germany and Latin America are the greatest purchasers of French books. Strangely enough the League of Nations lias served to increase the popularity of the French tongue and to increase the number of hooks which are bought and read in French. French is still considered the diplomatic language' and with varying accents is spoken in nearly nine out of ten speeches made before the assembly and the council of -the League. The majority of allegedly "indecent’ books smuggled into the United States are taken through 'he customs under the decent cover of some author to whom the American censors do not object. -
MEMBERS SAYS PRICE DECLINE WILL CONTINUE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) a result of its experiences with stabilization in the past year, th hoard said it was apparent in the case of wheat <r any similar commodity that: » 1. To be successful a large quantity of the commodity must be bought by the government. The accumulation of such a vast amount of the crop has a somewhat lowering effect on prices. 2. Purchases in the cash market alone are inadequate to sustain prices and do grat injury to legitimate operations in the option market by throwing cash prices out of line with futures. This mans that large purchases for future delivery must be made. 3. Transactions in ’he future market having been entered on. there is no good place to stop. Option prices are published for six to eight months in advance, and as soon as buying of any option is stopped it gets out of line. This I
| Imposes a hardship on these used | ; used to hedging in the futures | market. 4. The storage problem is ser- 1 ions in any stabilization activity.! I When a large quantity of wheat is j ! purchased and held in terminals or | warehouses, it interfers' with haudl-| I ing of the crop. Some of the wheat, | must inevitably be held at such! | distance that it is net available for! most economical use or sale. 5. When the government has; j bought wheat or another crop in i this way it is difficult to dispose of it. Sales by a stabilization corporation tend promptly to turn the market downward and abundant ! complaint is received from grow 1 ers who are still holding their j crop. "Failure of cotton producers to bring about substantial curtaili ment in the cotten production of i 11930 has contributed heavily to defeat the purpose of the stabilization measures that were undertaken in cotton," it declared. “Much more extended and intensive eflforts to secure readjustments in j cotton production, in the face of j carefully considered world outlook, are planned for the planting season of 1931." Loan commitments to the two major stabilization corporations aggregated $90,000,900 to the grain buying organization, and $15,000,900 to the cotton stabilizaticn corporal on. Cooperative associations received a total of $165,146,555 in i loan commitments in addition to these amounts for stabilizations purposes. This gave a total of $270,000,000 in loan commitments approved by the board. Progress in organizing produc- , ers into national cooperative inarkI eting organizations was reviewed , at length by the board which said - the first year of its operation has shown clearly that farmer organI ization effers the surest hope of permair nt financial betterment of those engaged in agriculture.

SILK HAT RAID i IS CONDUCTED Dry Agents, Dressed Formally Raid Rich New York Saloon New York, Dec. s.—(U.R) —Aneth-! er geqteel social affair reserved for the ultra-select took place unheralded early today when the "salon’’ of Belle Livingstone, toast of two 1 continents in the '9o’s, was visited by nine dry agents in silk hats and • tail coats. Scniething of the sort had been I txpected ever since the celebrat|ed “Belle of Bohemia’’ reopened after a similar raid last April on her luxurious Park avenue estab-I lishment. On the latter occasion she described the manners of her unexpected guests as “truly Ches-ter-Fieldian." It was shortly after midnight | that Deputy Administrator Martin M. Smith and seven aides alighted from taxicabs and sauntered | into th? modernistic red and black) | receiving rocm on one of four richly-gowned women, theatre and society celebrities and Broadway bon vivants. In the main room. there was dancing, in another was! a complete stage auditorium withl impromptu entertainment, and the upper floors were devoted, one , apiece, to quiet contests of ping- . pong and miniature golf. Smith and h's agents left their top hats, overcoats and canes with the checkroom girl and mixed with the crowd around the dance floors. Then one of the visitors suddenly wrenched a megaphone from ’ the orchestra crooner. The guests ) of the. salon, the holder of the megaphone announced, would be allow: d to leave unhindered. Belle and eight bartenders, waiters and other personnel were escorted to a police district station for the remainder of the morning, while the dry cleanup squad seized $12,090 worth of bottled goods. Miss Livingstone. who once was t hailed as “the gitl with poetic I legs" and who subsequently styled herself “the most dangerous wom-
an in the world," gave her age as 56 and her occupation as ap anther. 0 - WET BLOC IN FIRST FIGHT IN CONGRESS , CONT IN UED PRC' M PAGE ONE) by the agriculture committee of the senate.
