WINTER WHEAT YIELD IS HIGH Private Crop Experts Predict Third Largest Crop In History Chicago, April S—(U.R5 —(U.R) —Private crop experts today forecast a 1938 winter wheat yield in the United States of 717.000,000 bushels, the third largest crop in American his|tory. A crop of such size would be 31,898.000 bushels greater than the 1937 yield and the largest since I 1931 when an all-time record crop of 820,553,000 bushels was harvested. Four of Chicago's five nationally prominent crop forecasters made their reports today. Mrs. E. H. I Miller, only woman in the field. ! made an estimate of 692.000,000 i bushels last week and the firm of James E. Bennett & Co. reported, a probable yield of 754,000.000 I bushels. Excellent growing weather since I January 1, with present crop con-' ’ dition reported from two weeks to l a month ahead of schedule through-' ' out much of the winter wheat ter-1 i ritory has induced recent heavy: selling, particularly in the past ten! ■ days on the Chicago board of trade. The price of new crop wheat,; J represented by July and September! i futures on the grain exchange, to- > day opened below 80 cents a) i bushel, the first time since 1935 J that any wheat future has sold be-j ■low 80 cen’ts. In April, 1937. July! , futures were quoted at $1.28% and I . September wheat at $1.24%. The individual estimates were: j H. C. Donovan—7lo.ooo,ooo B. W. Snow ... 698.000.000 R. O. Cromwell 713.000,000 Nat C. Murray.. 735.000.000 A month ago Murray predicted, a crop of 668.000,000 bushels but! I improvement of conditions and i plant growth in the last 30 days. I ’ even with the heavy frosts of the ■ past week, caused him to make an upward revision of 67.000.000 bush- ' I els. Donovan, too. increased his 1 ! estimate 60.000.000 bushels within ' 1 the last 30 days on favorable re- , ports from his country correspondents. J European grain traders today forced the price of Liverpool wheat to the lowest prices since in idsummer of 1936 on news of the American crop forecasts. , I O REBEL FORCES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the loyalist cause in Spain, was threatened with defeat, late this week as conservative political factions pressed for a national union cabinet in France. J At London, the cabinet of Pre- • mier Neville Chamberlain, having; i won a vote of confidence in the house of commons on its “realistic i foreign policy of dealing with the dictatorial nations, encountered [.difficulties in its vast rearmament I program when union leaders de- ' manded that the Spanish governiment be permitted to purchase , munitions. Several months delay was threatened. At Moscow, the Soviet Russian '.government rejected a Japanese 'protest against alleged soviet military aid to China, charging Japan I with “lawless acts” such as de-1 ' tention of mail planes, ships and ’. passengers and failure to meet j ! monetary obligations. ' [ At Shanghai, a new’ Chinese ‘ army of 400.000 men was reported . prepared for a stand in central ' i China against Japanese troops, whoso leaders claimed that they had finally smashed Chinese re- ■ I sistaiice in southern Shantung Fto-

land destroying all but two brick stores among approximately 300 buildings. Photo shows injured being cared for in a Peoria hospital.

vince. Holy War Reported Tokyo. April 5 — <U.R) — The Dome! (Japanese) news agency re- ) ported from Suiyuan today that a I holy war hail broken out in northwestern China against Soviet influence. - The dispatches, quoting reports from the city of Kashcar near the ■ Soviet Turkestan border, said Mo-! hammedans under leadership of Ma Chung-Ying had proclaimed war against Soviet-dominated Chinese officials. The report said they were join-1 ed by Orato Bashi, military leader of western Sinkiang province, who was leading 8.000 troops, mostly mounted, toward the city of Aksu and sweeping everything before ! him. Chinese officials have been expelled from many posts in the area of Aksu, which is a center for cara- ; van routes from all parts of central Asia. FIELD MAN TO BE IN DECATUR Gross Income Tax Agent To Be At Local Auto License Branch Grover Baumgartner, field agent ;of the Indiana gross income tax ! division will be in Decatur, April I 7,8, 14, 15. to assist taxpayers in I filing first 1938 quarterly gross ini come tax returns, it was announced | today by Dee Flyback, auto license 1 branch manager. Returns covering inebme in the ' first quarter of 1938 are due April | 1 to April 15. The field agent will be stationed at the license branch, and it was urged that persons who have unusual problems in connection with i their tux returns obtain his assistI ance. Service of regular employes iis available daily at the license j branch throughout the year. ! Mr. Fryback pointed out that all persons whose tax for the quarter exceeds $lO are required by the law to file returns and pay the tax. All taxpayers are granted an exemption of $250 per quarter. Retail merchants, however, are granted an exemption of $750 per quarter upon receipts from selling at retail This exemption is not in addition to the regular exemption. Mr. Fryback said further that it was anticipated that the number of quarterly returns filed will show an increase since many taxpayers have found it more convenient to nay their tax quarterly thus avoiding the entire amount of annual tax falling due all at once. “The special retail merchants' returns have been discontinued and the regular individual, partnership, and corporation returns have been I revised so that they may also be used by retail merchants having ‘receipts from selling at retail. —— o —— Pleasant Mills Alumni Meet Sunday Afternoon The Pleasant Mills alumni will have a meeting Sunday, April 10. at 2:30 o'clock in the Pleasant Mills high school building.

VETERAN ERIE EMPLOYE SUITS H. N. Blair To Retire April 18 After 38 Years Os Service H. N. Blair, prominent Decatur resident for 10 years and a veteran employe of the Erie railroad company for the past 38 years, on Monday, April 18. will end his services with the company—the first agent of the Erie ever to retire from the Decatur station. On that day Mr. Blair will take advantage of the retirement policy of the company and cease active work on a pension under the railroad retirement act. Leaving his father’s hardware store in Kewanna 38 years ago, Mr. Blair started as a clerk at the Erie station in Delong, a small stop east of Rochester. From there he went to Rochester as a clerk and later returned to Delong, finally going to Bolliver as a full-fledged agent. All in all. he spent 17 years in Delong and six years in Bolliver. In March of 1928, Mr. Blair with his wife, the former Nettie Spangler, of Culver, moved to this city to accept the position as agent of the Decatur station, a position which he will hold until he retires this month. Mr. Blair and his wife were married 44 years ago, prior to his first job on the Erie. They have two daughters, Mrs. Edward Shadle of Kewanna and Mrs. Earl Galbrath of Winamac. Local employes of the Erie will be hosts at a dinner party Sunday commemorating tlie retirement of "H. N.” or “Jimmy” as he is sometimes known among his fellow workers. Invitations are now being extended to former co-workers and friends of Mr. Blair and plans are going forward for a fitting climax to his years of, service with the organization. Meanwhile Mrs. Blair superintends the packing and getting ready for the trip to Culver, where they have purchased a property. There the couple plan to spend the rest of their lives in case and contentment. Commenting that he “surely will lie lost without his job on the load”, Mr. Blair hopes to find enjoyment at his favorite recreation of fishing, with the clear waters of the lake at Culver as an added incentive. Mr. Blair, whose active life and hours of outdoor work belie his 68 ■ years of age, proudly states that he hasn't had a sick day in years, attributing it to his vigorous activities, whle workng for the Ere, and asserts that he expects to enjoy life after his retirement. o JERSEY CATTLE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) breeders and buyers would be in the city during the sale.

William J. Driver, D.. Ark.; Rep. R. Ewing Thomason, D„ Tex.; Rep. Tom Jenkins, R.. O.; Rep. Charles A. Wolverton, R„ N. J., as house members of the committee. Borah immediately announced he declined the appointment. “I don't believe in investigations by town meeting,” Borah told reporters. “If it had been a committee of’ three or five senators, 1 would have ! been glad to serve. "Or if it had been a committee of three or five members of the house it might be more effective. I've never seen any good come of joint investigations.” Senate minority leader Charles McNary, R., Ore., also declined. I asserting he is too busy with pres- ■ ent duties. Garner said he consulted no one I on the makeup of the committee. | . Not even the senators named knew I of their selection until the clerk read their names, he said. In naming the house members, | J Bankhead followed out his announced intention of selecting no one from the TVA area, or anyone who had introduced a resolution demanding an investigation of the 1 vast flood control and power pro- ' Ject. ‘ Sen.
