Lanza, who organized the and became business agent under an A. F. of L. charter issued in 1919. served two years in prison on charges growing out of a “protection Fish Market accused of hiring gorillas” to enforce an interstate] fish monopoly through a so-called “Watchmen and Patrol Association.” Mr. Lamb's articles, one of several | detailing the histories of individuals | among the €9 men with criminal records found in a Scripps-Howard survey to be holding office in A. Th of L. unions, pointed out that | Green had cited Lanza's prison service as a reason why the union should not reinstate him as business agent.

CORN HOPELESS IN SOME AREAS

Considerable Damage Central Plains Crops Is Reported.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (U. P)).— The Weather Bureau said today that the hot, dry weather of the past two weeks has caused “con=-

| siderable deterioration” of the corn

crop, with damage beyond recov= ery in some areas, Large areas

still are in fair condition, the Bureau said. “The portions of the Central Great Plains reported dry last week experienced another unfavorably hot, dry period, and, in addition, similar conditions were noted over many portions of the Central Valleys, the Rocky Mountain area and the Southwest,” the Bureau said. “Considerable damage was re= ported to growing crops in the Central Great Plains, where pastures are reported drying badly, and locally not sufficient to support livestock.” Temperatures over the Middlewest ranged up to 116 in South Dakota during the past week. The hot. dry weather, however, was said to have heen favorable to the growth of cotton in the gulf sections, which had recent heavy rains. Some portions' of the East are becoming quite dry, with pastures showing widespread need of moisture, the Bureau said. In the Ohio Valley conditions have not yet become serious, although the dryness has been unfavorable for late crops and a soaking rain is needed. Missouri and Kansas reported considerable damage to corn. Upland corn in Missouri is firing. In Kansas, corn deteriorated generally, except in local areas, and some is expected to be damaged beyond Tassles were burned white in many areas, the Bureau said.
