Blockade, U.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 (U. P). —Dr. N. William Hazen, the Agriculture Department's Mediterranean

agriculture specialist, said today that Great Britain's blockade has|; “more severely disorganized” Italy’s economic ‘structure than any other war development. In a report entitled “Italian - Agriculture Under Fascism and War,” Dr. Hazen said the blockade was so effective in stopping the flow of sorely - needed . footstuffs and agricultural. materials to Italy that. it would “result in almost complete depletion of Italy’s cotton reserves by the end of 1940.” He predicted that Italy’s supplies of wool and jute “may not last’ much longer.” Shortages in fats, oils and meats —the three foods in which; Italy is most deficient—likely will become critical if the blockade.is continued, he said. All shipments of coffee already have been stopped. “By last September,” he said, “many textile mills had exhausted their supplies, others had enough to last only a few weeks, and even the largest mills had cotton sufficient ol last them only thyough DecemTr.” Sugar supplies are running low, but imports from Germany may make up part of the deficiency, he said. Wheat shortage = problems may ‘be solved by substitution of

600 PAPER BALLOTS

completion of the recheck of all voting machines in .the county treasurer race today. In addition to récounfing the treasurer votes in the paper ballots, Commissioners will start tallying the totals for all the other 21 contested offices. Discrepancies were found in two more precincts yesterday in the treasurer race, reducing the majority of Walter C. Boetcher, Democrat, from 195 to 189 over ‘Paul E. Teegarden, Republican. Completion of the paper ballot recount, probaly Monday, will end the treasurer contest. Recount Commissioners then will. go back over all the 366 voting machines to check the votes in 16 State Legislature races and five county of-

fices. All 21 petitions were brought by defeated Democrats. BOY DIES OF BURNS MARION, Ind., Nov. 29 (U. P.).— Ernest Ruble, 8-year-old son ® of Mrs. Paul Mullenix, died from burns received when his ‘clothing caught fire as he was Ig a

Italians Hard Hit by British

S. Expert Says

Italian rice ‘and beans ‘in baking bread. August. reports, he said, indicated that “bread already was being mixed with.the meal to horsebeans, resulting in a product unplatable and difficult digest.” : Dr. Hazen indicated that’ tTaly’s plight was not due. entirely te the British blockade. In September, 1939, he said, Italy already was suffering from four years of conflict in Ethiopia and Spain, from an economic attempt by the Government to achieve self-sufficiency, and from

the increased rearmament program.

These factors had depleted the reserves of agricultural materials and
