DISCOVER RUINS OF OLD ROMAN CASTLE Fortification Stood on Shores Where .lesus Taught People. Ry Srimre Service JERUSALEM, Aug. 29.—Ruins of R Roman castle that once looked out on Lake Genesareth, on whose shores Jesus taught the people and WTought miracles, have been excavated by Dr. A. E. Mader, a Jerusalem archaologist.
Whether the fortifloation stood In apostolic times, however, is doubtful. Dr. Mader inclines to the opinion that it is not earlier than about the end of the first century. The mound of rubbish and stumps of protruding wall have been Known for centuries, and pious legends have had it that, this was the site of Capharnaum. “Jesus' town,” or Brthsaida, the home of several of the apostles. For this reason, several digs had been undertaken previously, but had yielded nothing very conclusive. Dr. Mader's excavation carried the history of the place back to the time of either Trajan or Hadrian as first builder. Their reigns extended from 98 to 138 A. D. The place was rebuilt by the Byzantine .emperor Justinian I in the sixth century, and destroyed by Persians or Arabs in the seventh.

FARM STRIKERS MEAN BUSINESS
Husky lowans in Deadly Earnest as They Block Roads
Thl* I* th* Br*t utorjr In itrlri f by Bruce Cultnn. Uff writer for SEA Serele* >nd Thr Time*. who wo* ent to thr midwr*t corn belt to find out what the "farm Urike" i* all about. BY BRUCE CATTON SEA Service Writer (Copyright. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.) QIOUX cm'. la., Aug. 29 Along the trunk highways leading into this busy agricultural market there lounge groups of men in blue denim—husky, purposeful, deeply tanned men who tilt soiled felt hats over their eyes when the sun is high and swing their brawny arms indolently as they saunter from one cluster of shade trees to another. They are the men in the front line trenches of lowa's famous "farmers’ strike'"—the men who have enforced an almost complete stoppage of the movement of farm produce to the market in the hope of lifting the corn belt out of the depression. They are good-natured, but they mean business. Every truck that approaches gets stopped. Big telephone poles and heavy planks with long spikps set at two-inch intervals are ready-to be tossed out on the pavement in front of any car that will not stop. Whpn a truck is stopped, the men look in it to see if it contains any farm produce. If it does not, it is allowed to proceed. If it does, it goes back where it came from.
When no trucks are coming the men lounge about, talk, smoke, make jokes. One young giant amuses himself by cracking a twenty-foot blaeksnake whip so that it makes a report like a pistol. When an outsider appears among them, they become suddenly silent. To find out why they are there you should not ask them. Instead you should go about among the farms outside of Sioux City. There, talking to the men whe are going broke tilling what is some of the finest farming soil in America, you get an understanding of the driving force back cf this strike.
n n a of the corn belt are -F in the strike to stick to the finish, declares Milo Reno, the fiery, energetic president of the National Farmers’ Holiday Association and stormy petrel of the lowa corn belt for more than a decade. For ten years he was president of the lowa Farmers’ Union. Reno, who organized the farm strike, traveling hundreds of miles and addressing countless mass meetings to bring miltant groups of farmers into activity, declares bluntly: “We propose to fix a price for farm products upon the American standard of living, and we insist that the farmer refuse to deliver for less. "Values must and will be determined by the labor required to produce* instead of by a manipulated and fluctuating dollar. “We propose to stop the confiscation of our farm homes by criminal deflation. We propose to save our farm homes for our boys and girls instead of forcing them in to the industrial areas to swell the army of unemployed.”
DEFIES CASTOR OIL Toper Back for New Sentence Despite Drastic Remedy. CLEVELAND. O. Aug. 29.—Many a small boy will stand in awe of Louis Gehringer.

This time he was handed a suspended sentence of thirty days in the workhouse, his release ending Gehringer’s tenth appearance before the bars of justice on an intoxication charge.

THE farm strike, Reno declares, is not resulting in the w'aste of any food, and is not operating to cause any hardship to unemployed people in the cities. Such perishable goods as milk, eges and the like which are being held off the market are being distributed free to the poor in the corn belt cities. Garden truck, including such fresh vegetables, does not come under the provisions of the blockade. Livestock and other produce that is being held back edn wait for a better market without W'astage. Reno insists that the farm strike is not the sudden outgrowth of unexpected adversity. Instead, he says, it stems back through more than a decade of agricultural distress and disappointment. “Every promise made, to agriculture in the last twelve years remains unfulfilled,” he asserts. Sev-enty-five per cent of the farm values have been destroyed by and in the interests of the money lords. bub IN organizing the strike at Sioux City, Reno, showed a good deal of strategic ability. Sioux City already had a “milk war” before the farm strike began. The milk producers were getting approximately a dollar a hundredweight for their milk, and they said that twice that sum would be no more than a fair price. A boycott on the Sioux City market was established, and Reno immediately leaped into action and coupled the general farm strike to it. The. milk strike was immensely popular among farmers in the Sioux City territory, and thus the general farm strike got an impetus that it would not otherwise have received. And once it got started, the idea took hold, so that the farm strike as a whole overshadowed the milk strike. Now the farm
Farm Strikers Threaten to Isolate Omaha, Neb.
Hog Receipts Are Lightest in Months as Picket Line Tightens. BV T. W'. INGOLDSBY I’nited Press Staff Correspondent OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 29.—Moving into Nebraska slowly, but with unexpected force, the farmers' strike threatened today to cut off. within a few hours, all access by truck to the Omaha market. Picket lines around Council Bluffs, lowa entry to the market, held firm over the week-end, and new groups took control of all but a few Nebraska highways into the city. State Sheriff Endres said at Lincoln he had ordered all Nebraska county officers along the Missouri river to "arrest and charge with inciting riot" any lowans working among Nebraska farmers. Effectiveness of the blockade became apparent when officials at the Omaha stockyards reported the lightest hog receipts in many months, with only 3.800 arrivals by truck. Most of these were transported over highways not yet closed, but expected to be picketed by tonight. The south route of the Nebraska side was to be closed at 5 p. m. today. leaders of the farmers announced. Strikers already were picketing at Plattsmouth. Neb., but only were warning truckers before permitting them to continue to the market. Picketing continued at other markets. Sious City was cut off from truck access. Des Moines, the lowa capital, was blockaded by farmers and by "khaki shirts.” the unemployed organization which is aiding them in their fight. Week-end violece was silght. Two men were injured at Council Bluffs when a railroad _tie was thrown through a windshield of a truck They were M. H. Cruise, an auctioneer, and Harold Wolner of Tabor, la., driver of the truck. Strikers apologized when they learned the truck did not contain produce, and said they would pay the damages.
RUSSIANS LIKE GLIDERS Factory Turns Out 1,500 in Y'ear; Sport Gains Favor. MOSCOW, Aug. 29.—Along with the increasing popularity of powered flying in the Soviet, gliding, too, is getting its share of experimentation.

Schools for this type of flying have been set up here, in the Crimea, and Siberia.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
With graphic realism, the artist has sketched above a scene that has been common on main highways in the corn belt since the farmers began their “human blockade” to halt trucks on their way to market. At the right is Milo Reno, president of the Farmers’ Holiday Association and father of the strike idea, as he exhorts a meeting of farmers to continue the crusade for higher prices.
strike goes on independent of the milk strike, w'hich has been settled by a compromise price agreement between the milk producers and the milk buyers. b a u IF you w'ant a eloseup story of what the strike is all about, go back to the farms off the main highways and talk to the hornyhanded farmers in stained overalls and floppy straw' hats. I talked with several such men in their barn yards and one of them gave me a clear, forceful explanation of the meaning of the strike. “The deflation of 1921 is (he real background of the whole thing,” he said. "The losses caused by the low prices of that period caused a good deal of suffering, and nothing ever was done to prevent that agricultural depression from continuing and getting worse. “Asa result, the agricultural people, especially in the western part of the country, have had everything taken away. “This applies to tenants, ow'ners —every one.

FIGHTS FOR BOTH LOVE AND RICHES
BY ROBERT H. BEST United Press Staff Correspondent VIENNA. Aug. 29.—Unable to choose between love and a million dollars. Paul Weiner is planning a battle to retain both tho fortune and the love of his actress sweetheart, Rene Renate. Weiner heir of a Viennese distiller who left him a fortune of almost $1,500.000 —on the condition that he never marry Mile. Renate. a dark-haired beauty, famous in society and theatrical circles of Austria. The elder Weiner’s will also provided that the son should lose the fortune if he died without marrying some other woman or without a male heir by his wife. The whole estate would go to the Jewish congregation in Vienna if Paul failed to meet the condition.. imposed, the father decided shortly before he died. mum TO make it more difficult for the will to be broken, the father pngaged the vice-president of the Jewish congregation, a lawyer, to execute it.
yet, but we know w T here it’s all leading to. “The farmers are fearless because they know they have nothing to lose. They can’t go on as they are any longer. Often nowadays a farm doesn't produce enough of an income to pay the taxes. And the meaning of what's being done now may be more far-reaching than any one can see at the present time. man “ r T''HIS strike may not have JL much immediate effect on the market price of farm produce. I hope it will, but we can't be sure. “But I do know' enough about economics to know that there are only two w 7 ays to raise the price of any given commodity. "You either must increase the amount of money in circulattion or decrease the amount of that commodity that reaches the market. “There has been no .apparent reason to increase the amount of money. Anyw'ay, it's a deep-seated thing to change the monetary system. and it can't be done in a short time. So w'e’re trying the other way. “Who's at the head of this movement? No one. Go to any of these picket lipes and ask who's in charge and you'll find out. "There's no head because everybody feels exactly the same way about it. Everybody’s thinking the same thing. “And don’t think those boys out on the picket lines aren't in earnest. They are. Look at them—and see if you can find one w r ho hasn’t got a forearm too thick to grasp with your thumb and fingers. “These boys are used to pitching hay, and they haven’t got their muscles for nothing.” Next: A visit to the farmers’ picket lines at night and what it disclosed . . . what the men say and what they think of their crusade for higher farm prices.

Bottle Surplus to Hike Farm Prices, Is Plea
Senator Says U. S. Can Halt Agricultural Strikers. By Bcrippn-Howard Xeir*-’per Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The farmers’ strike in the west can be stopped if the federal government will take the steps necessary to keep farm surpluses off the market, in the opinion of Senator Elmer Thomas <Dem., Okla.). “If this year’s crops can command this year's market," said Thomas, “prices will rise and the farmers will, call off their strike.” In an effort to bring this about,
But Paul Weiner had been in love with the actress for seven years, and he had persistently refused to give her up despite his father's refusal to permit him to marry. Now, at the age of 40. he is more determined than ever to marry her. And he hopes to retain the fortune. Some who are watching the developments closely, recall the biblical story of Jacob serving wice seven years to gain a wife, but neither Paul nor Mile Renate intend to wait another seven years. Many plans have been considered by Weiner, it is understood. Among them was a suggestion that Paul marry another woman with a previous arrangement for divorce as soon as a son is born to them. Thereafter he could marry’ the actress. mm* MEMBERS of the congregation, fearing they will not get any of the fortune, have been agitated by the plans for a battle, and some favor acceptance of an
VON PAPEN FOR ONE-YEAR PLAN FOR RECOVERY German Chancellor Flays Hitler as ‘Unfitted for Leadership.’ BY FREDERICK KUH Veiled Pre*s Staff Correspondent BERLIN. Aug. 29.—The republic of Germany, seething with poiltica!
strife, entered a critical week today with the government of Franz Von Papen urging a “one-year plan for economic recovery" which it hoped would help it rule Germany against all opposition. The chancellor struck out unexpectedly Sunday at Adolph Hitler and his strong Fascist party, declaring that the mustached little Nazi chieftain is “ill-fitted for leadership of the state." Von Papen, speaking before a group of Westphalian farmers in the town hall of Muenster with his words broadcast, denounced Hitler's attitude toward the recent death penalties imposed on five of his storm troopers, convicted of political terrorism, as nothing short of ‘licentious.” Today there was no doubt that when the new reichstag convenes Tuesday, it will be dissolved by presidential decree the moment a hostile movement toward the government is made. It is certain that the reichstag will attempt to sw'eep Von Papen from power with a vote of misconfidence. A dissolved reichstag means at least three more months of power for the Von Papen cabinet. Chancellor Von Papen, in representing his program for economic recovery, made it clear that his government, by instituting a vigorous campaign for rehabilitation, expects the German people to maintain his cabinet in power. Private capitalism, he said, is better than any other economic system and will be supported and encouraged by the government
Dale’s Attorney Calls for Ouster of Jeffrey
Federal Prosecutor Guilty of Betraying Public Trust, Is Charge. Ouster of George R. Jeffrey as federal district attorney is asked in a letter sent to the federal attor-ney-general by W. A. McClellan, Muncie, one of the attorneys who defended George R. Dale, Muncie mayor, on federal liquor conspiracy charges several months ago. McClellan's charges that Jeffrey is "not worthy of holding an office of public trust,” are based on Jeffrey’s questioning of Thomas Duncan, Muncie Negro, whose testimony helped convict Dale The attorney alleges that special dry agents induced Duncan to sign a false statement implicating Dale and his co-defendants, then arrested Duncan April 1 on his own statement and held him in jail until last week when the grand jury failed to indict him. Jeffrey first saw Duncan's statement after the trial when defense attorneys were about to quesiton the witness in order to obtain evidence on which to base anew trial motion, McClellaif said. After reading the statement, he added, Jeffrey's face “turned red” and he hurriedly left the room, after which Duncan was returned to jail by officers, wtihout permitting defense attorneys to question him or see the statement. The letter to the attorney general was accompanied by a copy of a letter sent to Jeffrey by McClellan, explaining the charges. The latter letter charges that when Jeffrey learned he had been misled about Duncan's statement, he failed to be “fair and honest” and to correct the “injustice” done Dale and his co-defendants. Dale is at liberty on bond pending appeal.
Thomas sent a written request to directors of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation that they approve loan applications of farm cooperatives to enable them to bottle up their surpluses until this year's crops are marketed. “Farmers strike in the west in spreading to south and east,” Thomas wired President Miller, Chairman Pomerene. and other members of the R. F. C. “Strike is result of neither program nor promise for their relief. “Farmers can not pay taxes nor interest, nor even exist on 30-cent wheat, 20-cent corn, 8-cent oats, and 5-cent cotton.
