CORN CROP CUT 13% IN AUGUST

Outlook for 181, 102,000 Bu. Dropped to 157.480,000. Purdue Says.

LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Aug. 29 (U. P) Indiana's corn crop prospects dropped 13 per cent from Aug. 1 to Aug. 15 because of dry weather conditions, according to statistics released today by Purdue University. During the same period, corn

dropped an average of 3 per cent|

in 14 corn belt states that produce three-fourths of the nation’s crop. Purdue's Agricultural Statistics Department co-operation the U. S. Agricultural Marketing Service, reported that on Aug. 1 Indiana had prospects of a 181,102,000bushel output. The Aug. 15 report cut this figure to 157.480.000 bushels. The 1940 Indiana corn crop was 145.669.000 bushels. The 1931-39 average is 160.373,000 bushels. The acreage of timothy seed harvested in Indiana this year was 26,000 or 65 per cent of the 1940 total of 40000. The current crop yield was estimated to be 3.0 bushels per acre, one-half bushel lower than 1940 Production of thresher-run seed is estimated at 78000 bushels this

year. In 1940 it was 140,000 bushels. |

MOSCOW. Aug. 20 Men. en and still more men, Russia at war has been drawing steadily and

heavily on its seemingly inexhaustible reserves of manpower, yet there is still no sign of a serious shortage. Every month new classes are called up. They flow in small streams from farms to training centers, then in rivers toward the front. Despite her losses, Soviet Russia unquestionably has a vastly bigger army in the field than at the beginning of the war. At railway stations to the east of Moscow I have watched these peasant conscripts being sent off by mothers, wives and friends. It is a moving experience for tears are shed unashamedly on all sides as the raw country youths leave their land and villages—often for the first time in their lives. In many cases, women are taking over men’s work in Russia. That

KILLER AWAITS ‘BEAUTIFUL LIFE’

Religion Prison, Refuses Commutation; Dies Today.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal, Aug. 29 (U. P).—Eldon Hawk, 26, a murderer, thief and gambler who anticipates a “beautiful life in the beyond” so eagerly that he protested | when the widow of his victim sought | mercy for him, will realize his desire today. He and John William Lininger, 40, who murdered a man with rat poison and was largely responsible for Hawk's conversion, will march together into the gas chamber. They asked to be buried together in Hilltop Prison Cemetery, overlooking the penitentiary. Governor Culbert L. Olson said he would not interfere with the executions. Mrs. Lee Arris, widow of the mechanic Hawk killed in a holdup Sat Knight's Landing, Cal, last year, {had asked Governor Olson to grant ‘him clemency. Threatened Suicide Hawk wrote the governor:

{enough to listen to her nonsense. {You have no legitimate grounds on {which to commute me, or even give me a longer reprieve. I murdered a man in cold blood. I deserve my {penaity.” If Governor Olson disregard~d his advice, Hawk said he had an “ace {in the hele.” A diabetic, he said he {would stop taking insulin and go lout “my own way,” if necessary. Hawk did ask for one reprive, of three weeks, so he could die with {his iriend. | He and Lininger, {Louis E. Jette, 28, near Red BIAft | Cal, hecame fast friends in death row. They talked of their sins and ithe hereafter with the Rev. Henry | Ohloff, their spiritual adviser. He | taught them psalms to recite on | their way to the death chamber. Lininger, an Episcopalian, persuaded Hawk to embrace his faith, and he became eager to enter a “new life.” “There is something better ahead,” he said. “I don’t want to miss it. I won't live my life in prison and [if I am released I'll continue my {criminal life. I am not going to | wait any longer to reach the better life I know is ahead of me.” “He doesn’t want to miss that” Reverend Ohloff said. “He is not crazy.”

often d such jobs as driving locomotives, tractors and combination harvesters. An item in today’s newspaper tells how 5000 women volunteered as tractor drivers in the Omsk region of Siberia. Here in Moscow a majority of the busses and trolley cars now are operated by women. Women truck drivers are commonplace. Yet there are plenty of men in the streets too. Russia’s reservoir of manpower still is considerable. One myth which deserves to be exploded is the ever-recurring story of large units of women soldiers in the Soviet Army. There are many women working in auxiliary services at or near the front. There are women snipers and guerrillas and there may even be isolated women in the front lines. But yarns about so-called women’s battalions apparently are quite fictional. In Moscow streets you see hundreds of women wearing military uniforms—and a trim figure they

cut—but practically all ployees of Government or offices. The best proof that Soviet manpower is not near exhaustion is the

comparative youtn of Russian troops. Most of those I saw in Moscow range between 18 and 35 years of age. For the most part they look fit and high-spirited, with very fair uniforms and equipment. Many faces are strikingly American in appearance and this nostalgic illusion is topped by service caps which are almost identical] with those worn by American doughboys in the last war. There are frequent Oriental faces, too. Asiatics from the Soviet republics of the Far East are fighting side by side with Russians. There is not the slightest sign of race distinction. On the diplomatic front, Russia's reply to Japan's protests against shipment of American oil and gasoline through the Siberian port of Vladivostok has had a wholesome

reception here. It has dispelled a lot of sensational rumors that had circulated among foreign diplomats and clarified the atmosphere generally. Russia's enemy is Germany and there is no desire on the part of the Kremlin to complicate the situation by picking a quarrel with Japan. Russia's policy in the Far East is essentially an independent one. Just as nobody knows for sure what action America and Britain would take if Russia attacked on the east, so also nobody can say what would be the Soviet policy toward a possible Japanese-Amer-ican war. The United States and Britain, on one side, and Russia on the other, still must overcome many obstacles in the way of complete unity of views and action, though it is amazing what has been accomplished in two months, considering the abnormal relationship of the past.
