July 20.—Texas cotton and Florida fruit crops, prodding two of the most sensitive problems in the entire agricultural Held, were to be considered by the federal farm board today.

A few hours earlier Senator Connally urged the board to formulate its policy with reference to cotton before the beginning of the cotton! marketing season. Connally feared ihe profits from this crop would go into the pockets of speculators at ihe expense of the farmer before ♦he board could act. Chairman Alexander Legge would have disposed of the questions with she statement “we are pledged to deliberation," but said later if the cotton and fruit men were organized to conform with the provisions of the farm bill, the board would be in a position to assist them. “All we can do at present," Legge >aid, “is to hear their story and advise them as to proper organization if they lack it. “We believe." he said, “ that the best way to educate the farmer as; to the powers of the board, is to ’ handle problems as they come along j in extreme difficulties regardless of the commodity. "The board has beiore it literally hundreds of requests for attention, j They come trom every type ot pro- ! ducer and they come from Individuals. co-opreative associations, I stabilization corporations, and clearing house associations.

U, S. TO SPEND 4 BILLIONS IN ANNUAL BUDGET Navy, Army, Postoffice and Farm Aid to Boost Expenses. Bu Unit'd Press WASHINGTON, nditures for America's naval building program, army aviation and housing expansion, a larger postoffice deficit, farm relief and public works will push the government's annual disbursments well over the 54.000.000,000 mark wthin the next four years, it was learned today at the White House. These various expenditures, according to the White House statement, will be entailed by congressional acts and other mandatory obligations. It is estimated they will increase the government’s annual outlay of 5139.800.000 over the $3,848,000,000 spent in the fiscal year 1928. The largest item on the government’s extra-routine budget will be for the navy, whose building program of new battleships, airplanes, airplane carriers and cruisers will cost $364,500,000. A possibility of reducing this amount was foreseen should a successful naval limitations conference be held. An estimate of $320,200,000 has been made to care for the army’s aviation and housing program. Public works, it is believed, will cost $229,600,000 within the next four years. Included under this heading are expenses necessary for river and harbor improvement, highway construction, flood control, public buildings and Boulder Dam. Lower postage rates, it was estimated, will combine with increased wages and shorter hours of employment in the postal service to produce a postoffice department deficit of $94,700,000. The total estimated increase in expenses for these four classes — army, navy, public works and postoffice deficit—is $1,009,000. The cost of farm relief is unknown, but at least $150,000,000 will be so spent in the present fiscal year.

I* is considered extremely doubtful. however, if Wilhelm intends to leave Doom and return to the land over which he ( once reigned. Von Lindeiner-Wildau, a Nationalist leader, has informed the United Press that he believes failure to r.rolong the defense of the republic act would have no practical effect. One of £he Reichstag’s most heated debates occurred over the government’s measure to have the ac: prolonged. The vote was 263 for and 166 against, but a two-thirds majority was necessary for passage.

Bn United Press VTEW YORK, July 20.—Snakes have long been known to frighten persons to the' point of paralysis, but they may also effect a cure for that affliction, if the story told today by A. S.

A ten-foot boa constrictor was gliding up and down the cripples' ward. Bedridden patients. Lonnberg avers, were getting out with great agility. One man, believed paralyzed more than two years, jumped six feet from his bed, the Traveler continued, and another leaped eight feet to the hospital's patio. least to the privileges of ordinary German citizens and permitting him to live on German soil. Moreover, he added, it will remove the stigma which the law hitherto had affixed to the one-time emperor.

DRIVE ON NIGHT CLUBS STARTED IN NEW YORK Whalen Asks ‘Decent People' to Avoid GangOwned Resorts. NEW YORK July 20.—Gangsters and racketeers control the night clubs of New York, according to Grover Whalen, police commissioner, who backed up the assertion with a warning to "decent people” to remain away from the resorts. Whalen's advice was issued in connection with announcement that John (Legs) Diamond, alleged gunman and part-owner of the Hotsy Totsy Club, had been indicted with Charles Entratta. ex-convict, in connection with the killing of William (Red) Cassidy and Simon Walker in the club a week ago. “This indicement," said Whalen, “brings to the fore the fact that gangdom is in control of the night clubs. It would be well for decent people to keep away from such places, for they’re going to get lots of attention from now on." Diamond and Entratta said to have fled the city. Thirty detectives under Inspector Patrick McCormack raided sixteen speakeasies in the bright light district a few hours after Commissioner \*":alen issued the warning. The raiders swooped down around midnight at the height of the theater rush, and instead of taking only one bottle of liquor as evidence from the places raided, they took assortments. Bartenders in the places raided were charged with liquor law violations.
