HOPE GLEAMS AGAIN ALONG FARM HORIZON Rising Prices Bring Relief to Many Middle West Soil Tillers. POTATO MARKET UP Wheat Shows Profit: Town Stores Crowded With Eager Buyers. Thin In thr flrut of two article* on rhanrinf arrifultural condition* in the middlwft and *oiithw*t BY TOM MAHONEY t nited Pro** Staff Correspondent KANFAR CITY, Mo., July IS More prosperous times appear to be returning for the long-suffering farmers of the middle west. Soaring prices of grain and produce will give many mot, a majority, but more than a few) the greatest profits in four years. Some lucky enough to escape all drought may receive more. A year ago this month, E. A Poulson, Orrick, Mo., received a check for 38 cents as his total ieturn on a 300-sack car load of potatoes, after paying freight charges. This month he received S7BO for a carload of the same size. Some of his neighbors have received as high as $825 a car load and report trading the most brisk since 1921. Much of last year’s crop moved at around 40 cents. Movement of the two-tliirds normal crop began this year at $1.60 and has reached $2.75. Culls Find Market For the first time in years there is a market for culls. They bring $1 a sack, or two and a half times as much as the best spuds a year ago. Drought has lowered the Kansas winter wheat yield from 106,398,000 bushels last year to 56.656,000 bushels and an average of 9.5 bushels to the acre. Some parts of the state, however, have felt the heat only a little. A fifteen-acre field on the J. E Tucking farm, east of Valley Falls, yielded 646 bushels of No. l quality, in Missouri the wheat acreage was reduced this year from 1.326.000 to 1,220,000 acres, but the crop is expected officially to show an increase of from 11.2 to 12.5 bushels an acre. The 15,250,000 bushel crop moving at dollar figures will mean perhaps twice the cash return of last year to hundreds of farmers. Stores Are Crowded The additional revenue already is being reflected in rural trade centers of Missouri and Kansas. Small town stores and squares are crowded again on Saturdays. Three times as many couples were married in June at McPherson, Kan., as during the same month last year. New automobiles are seen on the highways and an increasing demand has caused a boom in the farm animal market. Farm horses now sell for $35 to $65 in that area. Mules bring $75 to $125; mares $75 to S9O; while young brood mares, of which there is a great scarcity, sell readily at $l5O upwards. Hogs have soared in value, but, according to some raisers, are quoted too low in comparison with the price of the corn they eat. Higher Prices Needed Hogs must be at least $6 before I can make any money at the present price of corn,” said Charles Groom, Cameron, Mo. 'lf hogs come up in price, my neighbors and I hope to break even this year and hold on for another.” Except for easier credit and in some cases actual relief, the new deal will not reach the owners of drought stricken or insect wrecked farms this year. Despite this, they follow closely the rising market quotations and appear more encouraged than at any time since 1929. FIRE LOSSES IN CITY SHOW $85,841 DROP 159 False Alarms Reported for First Six Months of 1933. Decreases of forty-one alarms and $85,841 in property loss for the first six months of 1933 against the corresponding period of 1932 were reported today to the safety board by Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell. Voshell reported the department made a total of 1.781 runs, of which 159 were false alarms. The fire rescue squad made ninety-two runs, revived forty, and gave first aid to twenty-seven, Twenty-four persons were found dead on arrival. The safety board appointed four firemen. Maurice Cahill to No. 5. Harry J. Brown to No. 6. Bert J. Caylor to No. 7 and Paul Richardson to No. 26. All have served their six months probationary periods and become privates. TAXES AVERAGING $8 State Returns Are Sorted; Large Payers Are Among Last. State income tax returns thus far tabulated have averaged $8 a return, with the probability that this average will be increased somewhat when forty unopened bags of mail are sorted, Clarence Jackson, state income tax collector, revealed today. With last Sauii*day the last day for receiving returns, the income tax office had tabulated a total of 44,348 returns to today for a tax total of $327.388 54. Jackson said he believed returns of large taxpayers were among the last received, and for that reason the average return might be increased beyond $8 Two Escape Reformatory Indianapolis police today were watching for two escaped inmates of the state reformatory at Pendleton. They are Gusta Lilly, alias Gusta Allen, 20, whose wife resides at 1539 Gimber street, and Ralph Henry, alias Raoul Henri, 22. whose father resides at 2337 Kenwood avenue.

PRISON REFORM PARLEY CALLED Head of Penal Farm Will Discuss Changes With McNutt. Plans for personnel changes, and reform of conditions at the Indiana state penal farm as exposed by The Times, will be discussed with Governor Paul V. McNutt today by Superintendent Ralph Howard, who took charge at the farm Monday. Howard, a Republican, was placed in charge at the farm to effect reform. He had been with the institution for seventeen years, but was moved to the superintendency of the Indiana state reformatory at Pendleton by Governor Harry G. Leslie. A. F. Miles, removed by Leslie, has been returned by McNutt to Pendleton. Howard, Miles and Louis Kunkel, superintendent of the Indiana state prison, and one trustee of each institution also will meet with the Governor as the board of classification on prison industry. They will decide about making blankets and clothing at the prison, according to Wayne Coy, secretary in charge of penal affairs.

Nude Deal Artist to Paint Unclad Models, Charge 25 Cents Admission.

By T nited Picur YORK. July 18.—A ’’nude deal" came to Broadway today when Erno Bakus, well-known Hungarian artist, who once did a portrait of Mrs. Herbert Hoover. announced the opening of the "artists and models studio” above the Reno dance hall. Bakus describes his new venture as a legitimate art school in which customers, paying 25 cents for twenty minutes, will be permitted to watch him painting nude models. A customer may go in, pay 25 cents, stare at the undraped girls for twenty minutes, and stay on indefinitely, so long as he yields up 25 cents every twenty minutes. Bakus said that he is tired of the life of a portrait painter, in which he had to "work like the devil, keep up a big front and run after the money.” He believes that he will be able to ‘ bring art. to the masses at a quarter a ticket." Each customer will be given paper, crayon, an easel and a lecture, all for the price of one admission. # Bakus admitted that some of his clients obviously will pay their 25 cents without developing any interest whatever in art. He will have four models.

STATE YOUTH DOPED, FREED BY ABDUCTORS Victim Fears Violence If He Tells Police Story of Kidnaping. SLUGGED BY TWO MEN Mouth Is Burned by Drug; Shoved Out of Car Two Miles From Home. By f'nited Prc/m ROCHESTER. Ind„ July 18.—Officials still were mystified today by the strange kidnaping of Keith Dubois, 19-year-old grocery clerk here, who was released twentyfour hours after his abduction without any demand for ransom. The youth appeared to be under a heavy mental strain. Officials said he expressed fear of future violence if he told the complete story of his abduction, and that he appeared rational only for brief periods. Doctors meanwhile were trying to determine the nature of a drug administered to the victim by his captors. His lips, nose, throat and mouth were parched and cracked and he has suffered frequently from nasal hemorrhages since his release. Slugged by Men Dubois told authorities at the county jail, where he was brought after his release, that two men followed him down a lonely road as he walked home from work Saturday night. A little further down the lane he noticed a parked automobile. He related that as he neared the machine the two men caught up with him and slugged him on the head with a blunt’instrument. He then was forced into the car. The only other recollection he would reveal was that a small piece of paper with a white powder on it was thrust under his nose. Oblivion came almost instantly, he said. Pushed From Auto Dubois resides with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Briggs Dubois, one mile west of Rc. lester. The kidnaping occurred within two miles of his home and he was pushed from an automobile Sunday night at almost the same spot. Dubois was found by part of a posse of nearly 200 persons. The youth is a sophomore at Central Normal college, Danville, 111. He was graduated from Rochester high school in 1931 and played on that institution’s basketball team in the finals of the state tourney.

GAR ENDS MAD RUSH IN CREEK; TRIO HURT Pair Under Arrest; Machine Mows Down Posts. Mowing down three large posts, a 17-year-old Ford touring car containing two men turned over several times, rolled about 120 feet and crashed into Fall creek near the east entrance to the state fairground early today. Seriously injured and under arrest on drunkenness charges are Bernard Reister, 27. of 2531 Prospect street, and William Phillips, 21, of 447 North Alabama street. Police are seeking a third victim, removed from the accident scene before they arrived, and reported critically injured. The ancient car turned over at least twice and rolled into some bushes in the creek bottom. Police said the tw r o victims apparently had laid in the creek for some time before the accident was discovered. as the car motor was cold ■and blood from the men’s wounds had dried.

‘Best He-Man’ in Big Bend Wilds Defies Bandit Chief Who Marks Him for Death

Daring Rancher Rides Into Heart of Foe Territory to Recover Horses. Thi* i* th* fourth of five stories on the Big Bend country of Tex**. America* last frontier, by Harry McCormick, special correspondent for NEA Service and The Times. BY HARRY McCORMICK NEA Service Writer ART HANNOLD, so they tell you, was born in the saddle and cut his teeth on a six-gun. Fifty years ago his father, John Hannold. settled in the Big Bend country of West Texas when the Indians still raided and long before Mexican bandits such as Candalario Baeza became a menace to honest ranchers. Ten years later Art Hannold arrived on the scene. His parents lived in a crude cabin in the shadow of the towering Chisos mountains, near what is now San Vicente, Tex., and miles from the nearest human habitation. Art Hannold could ride a horse before he could talk. It is even said that Old Man Hannold placed a six-gun in his baby sons hand before his mother took him out of diapers, just to show her that she had a man child. Noted for Courage He grew to manhood on his father's cattle ranch, now one of the largest in the Big Bend, the nation’s last frontier. He learned to rope steers before he learned his A B Cs, and with a pistol he could pepper a target at fifty paces. His reputation for courage and square dealing increased with his years and spread far and wide over the sparsely settled and almost primitive area. If a poll was taken in the Big Bend country to select the best heman, the best representative of the traditions and ideals of the old southwest, Art Hannold probably would be the choice in this country where men are men. In Prime of Life Today Art Hannold is in the prime of life. He is small in stature, as men go, but what he lacks in size is more than mads up in other ways. His face is tanned to the color of buckskin and his eyes, even when they smile, have a look that ssems to mean business. Brought up in the saddle and with a gun in his hand, he has seen the struggle of the pioneers with the wilderness and played no small part in that struggle himself. Many times he has set out alons from his father's ranch house and taken the trail for days at a time to search for mountain lions and panthers that had been destroying cattle. Many a black and brown bear such as live in the mountains of the Big Bend has fallen under his deadly aim. Marked for Vengeance With a reputation for utter fearlessness and a willingness to go to any risks to preserve law and order in a wild country, it seems logical enough that Art Hannold should be the man upon whom the bandit Candalario and his lieutenant, Jesus Hortega, have sworn vengeance. It seems logical enough that he was the rancher who gave the testimony that sent Hortega’s brother to the Texas penitentiary as a cattle thief.

More Natural Beauty Is Goal of Nudist Colony in Catskill Retreat; Naked Throng Frolics in Sunshine

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. July 18.—A minister sat under a tree, reading. At least, he turned out to be a minister, although he did not wear clerical garb. He wore, in fact, nothing at all but a pair of soft slippers and some spectacles. His skin was browned and he looked singularly sinewy for a middle-aged pulpiteer. He grinned and said: ‘-Newcomer, aren’t you, sir? I thought you looked a little startled. Probably I'm the first of these socalled sinful cultists you've ever seen in the—ah—flesh. Well, you can lay aside your misgivings and qualms along with your clothes. Look down there along the lake.” This was the 500-acre farm of the Out-of-Door Club, one of New York's nudist groups. Heavily wooded, flanked by the rolling Catskills, the estate centered about a thirty-four-acre lake. Over the brow of a hill, in sight of a little-used road, were farm buildings which now were being converted into dormitories and private rooms for the guests. On this side of the hill, and on the lake, hidden from the gaze of all but aviators, were some fifty men and women, all entirely nude except a few who were shielding their shoulders from the hot 3 o’clock sun. a a a lOOK down there,” resumed the clergyman, "and see if you can find anything shocking, or unmoral or immoral.

These people are trying in theft- modest way—” ‘ In their what, doctor?" ‘■ln their modest way,” continued the minister firmly, “to attain more natural beauty. But you'd better go on down yourself, and swim. Here's Mr. Blank, a Wall street man who seems to have lost his shirt and came here for the first time yesterday. He'll take you with him.” On the way down the steep path the broker was inclined to be communicative. “You know,” he said earnestly, "I don't quite like this. Not that I've seen anything wrong, but I'm so doggoned self-conscious. I think

One might expect that the chosen method would be the ambush —a sudden shot from a dense thicket and a man left dying on the ground —but the crafty mind of a Mexican bandit some times works in an unusual way. Such a murder would be far too I obvious and would be certain to cause quick and effective retaliation; it would be better, and safer, to have the killing done by others in an apparently legal way. Trap Is Set So Candalario set his snare for Art Hannold, upon whom he had vowed vengeance. One morning early in May Hannold rose to find four of his horses had been driven off his ranch. Behind them was a trail that was perfectly clear to this man, used to following trails through the wilderness. “Not much for horses,” Hannold mused. ‘‘Guess anybody could have bought them for $l5O. But we don’t do things that way down here in the Big Bend. If old Candalario gets away with those horses this time he’ll be back for more. So we’ll just go after him.” Hannold called a cowhand, John Rollins, a veteran of the rainbow division in the World war. They mounted their horses and set out. Wife Is Expert With Gun Bed rolls slung across the backs of saddles, rifles in the slings and six-shooters at their sides they rode into Bouquillas a few hours later to inquire if Don Juan Sada and his wife, Chata, had seen anything of Hannold’s horses. Don Juan and Chata are veterans of the Rio Grande country. Don Juan once was captured by Mexican bandits and held for ransom, SSOO being paid for his release. Chata, born and reared in the Big Bend country, has a reputation as a crack shot; many times guests for dinner at their ranch have seen her shoot off the head of a chicken she intended to cook. Don Juan and Chata knew nothing of the stolen horses, so Hannold and Rollins crossed the shallow Rio Grande and entered Mexico, after getting a verbal permit from the Mexican government authorities at Bouquillas to enter the country under arms. Thwart Bandit Chief That was exactly what old Candalario had hoped Hannold and Robbins would not do. Mexican law says that a person entering the country under arms may be shot unless a permit first is obtained. The wily Candalario apparently

The nudist movement—in which men, women and children mingle together in work and recreation, completely unclothed—is making astonishing headway in America. What manner of people are these nudists, whose practices are carried on in guarded privacy? What of their motives? How do they actually conduct themselves in their gymnasiums and outdoor camps? The answers are contained in a series of three articles, of which this is the first, based on the impartial, first-hand observations of a reporter for The Times and XEA Service.

these people ought to wear something; just maybe even a little something. "I like the sun as well as anybody, and I like to swim in the raw as well as any kid. But hereafter I'll take my sun n solitude.” We reached the lodge on the lake shore. Around the corner, coming from the swimming dock and on their way to work on anew tennis court, burst a group of men and women, all nude. MISS JAN GAY* director of the camp, halted them for introductions. Miss X. a wellknown photographer, Miss Y, an artist, and Miss Z, who the day before had been graduated from a select college, nodded pleasantly AGREE TO CUT RATES FOR ‘SOUTH SYSTEM' Voluntary Reduction Plan of Public Service Cos. Is Reported. Agreement to attempt to work out a program of voluntary rate reductions in the extensive "south system” of the Public Service Company of Indiana was reported today to the public service commission by Sherman Minton, public counselor, and Glenn Van Auken for the utility. Minton and Van Auken informed the commission they expected to be able to offer such a program at a meeting of the commission. July 24. Appearing for the" Industrial Power Consumers’ Association, Howell Ellis, former commission member. said he could raise no objection to this plan, but warned that reductions must take care of industrial users as well as public consumers. Ellis said members of the association buy more than $350,000 worth of power each year from the utility. Perry McCart. commission chairman. assured Ellis industrialists' interests also would be considered.

thought that the Americans would not get this permit and thus they would suffer the penalty, as rules regarding the entry of armed aliens into Mexico seldom are broken. At least this is the way in which two veterans of the Big BendOld Man John Hannold and his rancher neighbor, Tom Miller—figured out the plan of Candalario.

Dr. C, a white-bearded scientist, nearly 70 and nut-brown from three months in the Bahamas, bowed from an enviably slim waistline. Several people were out on the lake in three rowboats and a sailing canoe. Some twenty persons were on the swimming dock. Three little children of about 4 to 6 splashed happily in a shallow, sunken crib. Two middle-aged men and their wives sprawled in a circle and argued the previous evenings bridge game. Two young men dosed, with heads pillowed on towels. Their white torsos, contrasted with browned arms and legs, told of many hours spent this year on conventional bathing-suited beaches. A woman of perhaps 50, with graying hair, but a trim figure, was resolutely practicing a back dive from the low dock. On one corner five young men and three women clustered about Miss Ethel Jacobs, the swimming instructor. Most of them were employes of the club and were receiving advanced lessons in life saving.

that is where he outsmarted Candalario.” So it was that these two ranchers of the Big Bend country* rode off from Bouquillas into Mexico, searching for their horses, which they felt certain Candalario had driven away. A few hours later they were to be captives in Candalario's hands, miles across the border and far from any assistance that could be given them by their American friends. But if the possibility of this dangerous eventuality occurred to Hannold and Rollins, it apparently didn't worry them a bit, for they continued on their quest straight into the mountain area that Candalario rules as a bandit king.

The porch of the lodge along the lake shore was lined with easvchair nudists, several of them reading, some smoking and chatting, and one woman knitting a sweater.

Hoffman, health statistician, is taking periodic physical measurements of twenty women who expect to be guests at the camp throughout the summer. Dr. John Levy of the Columbia university medical center staff will make psychological studies of nudists’ mental attitudes. Most important, Miss Gay believes, will be comparative studies of two groups of children, one group wearing so-called sun suits, the other being completely naked. Dr. Josephine Kenyon, a child specialist of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, will be in charge of this work. • nam AS darkness came, the guests strolled down to the lake. Some went rowing; most of them sat around an open fire in the lodge. There was a good deal of talk, and many a yarn. By 10 o'clock every one had retired but two or three employes, for the club rose at 6 every morning for a strenuous half, hour of nude exercises < the men and women in separate groups! and a swim before breakfast. Most of the guests retired to individual rooms. However, the men's and women’s dormitories were not yet finished, so two couples and three single men occupied the long sleeping porch of the lodge, where seven single beds were made up. As lights went out and good nights were said, a resonant snore came from someone already asleep. It was the Wall Street broker. “Exhibitionist!” snickered one of the women. ■Exhibitionist is right,” responded ihe other woman drowsily. “Why, my dear, he even wears pajamas!” Next—A visit to an indoor nudist establishment.

U.S. TO FIGHT OPEN SHOP IN STEEL PLANTS Industry’s Submitted Code Is Held Violation of Recovery Act. BAN PLACED ON UNIONS Corporation Chiefs to Face Battle in High Court With Government. BY LEO R. SACK Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. July 18-The national recovery administration us preparing for a showdown fight with the steel industry. The American Iron and Steel Institute, acting In behalf of the nation’s biggest industry, has submitted a code which labor experts interpret as being in contradiction to the spirit and intent of the recovery law. This opinion is held by all of Administrator Hugh Johnson's advisers. The steel barons, it is reported authoritatively, are preparing to go to the supreme court if necessary to sustain their theory of labor relationship. ‘'And we will go right with them,” one of General Johnson's closest advisers announced. Meanwhile, the administrator and hi s staff are determined that the steel industry’s interpretation of what shall constitute collective bargaining shall not prevail. Mr. Johnson's staff has had several conferences already on the subject. Deny Right to Workers It is claimed that the steel code declaration in behalf of the open shop is a nullification of Section 7 of the recovery law, which says that all codes shall provide for collective bargaining. This code provision denies workers the right to join in a common cause as intended by the law, ana while the steel makers agree to protect themselves against cut-throat competitive methods, they, in effect, deny to their workers the right to’ organize collectively for their mutual protection. In other words, as thp code is interpreted at the industrial administration, employes in the Carnegie plant of United States Steel, could not organize jointly with emploves of Jones & Laughlin and Bethlehem Steel. The steel code had not been in General Johnsons hands half an hour on Saturday before Edward F. McGrady, deputy administrator representing labor and other labor advisers, had spotted the open shop “joker.” Coal Men Follow Lead Taking the hint from the Iron and Steel Institute, the Mellon and Rockefeller dominated group of coal producers are preparing to adopt the steel industry's labor coae. This group of producers will be in conflict with the Central Coal Associates group, which last week concluded the first collective bargaining agreement with organized labor before submission of a code. The coal hearing will at the start present an industry divided, with one section advocating an enlightened labor policy which heralds a new era in coal mining and another section seeking to continue what President Lewis of the United Mine Workers says is a ‘‘reign of terror” combined with starvation and peonage. Between the two groups, it is deemed certain that the recovery administration will side with the Central Coal Associates and defy the Mellon-Rockefeller interests to upset findings. Alarm Is Sounded The coal question will in all probability be decided before the steel code is adopted, although the hearings may run simultaneously for a time. National labor leaders are sounding the alarm against the .steel and propased majority interest coal code President William Green of the American Federation of Labor already has protested vigorously and today John L. Lewis of the mine workers joined in. “The steel code is horrible and is a violation of the law,” Lewis declared. It does not conform in mv opinion to the provisions of the statute with reference to collective bargaining. ”1 am confident that the entire labor unit of the country will present a J mt< Y front . a, ? ain sf this section and will fight it to the bitter end.”

COUNTY HEADS STUDY OHIO'S VOTING LAW Return of Committee From Cincinnati Expected Cate Today. Return of a committee of county officials in Cincinnati to inspect the Ohio permanent voters’ registration law is expected late today. The visit was made to study workings of the Ohio law with a view to applying similar methods to administration of the Indiana law which becomes effective January, 1934. Estimate of the first year's cost also is sought for inclusion in the county budget. Preliminary estimate of $60,000 has been raised to SIOO,OOO. according to Glenn B. Ralston, county clerk. Continuation of the system sifter its first installation will cost less than 10 per cent of the original expenditure, it is estimated. The law provides for a permanent record of each voter and for periodic changes as places of residence are changed. Report of the committee will be submitted shortly after the return, it was said.
