Corn Crop Is In Good Shape WASHINGTON UPI —The 1065 com crop is making favorable progress in the com belt despite cooler-than-normal temperatures, according to the government’s weather and crop bulletin for the week ended Aug. 2. The Weather Bureau said the Iowa crop—the nation's largest —was about 86 per cent in or past the tassel stage and between 10 and 15 per cent was in the dough stage. This compares with nearly all tasseled by the same week in 1964 but was near

the average seasonal growth. About 75 to 85 per cent of the com crop has tasseled in Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Kansas, the bureau said. Nearly 50 per cent of the Minnesota crop was in the silking (stage, lagging considerably when compared to the 1964 crop. The bureau said the Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri crops were <n good to excellent condition. The continued lack of any appreciable rains in Ohio and Michigan caused a declining plant condition, although the prevailing cool weather helped lessen the effect of the short

moisture situation.

The bureau said winter wheat 1 harvest in South Dakota was 85 i

per cent complete. Winter wheat harvesting has started In North Dakota and Montana and an occasional field of spring wheat has been cut. Rains slow remaining winter wheat combining in Colorado and the Nebras-! ka panhandle. The bureau said rye harvesting in South Dakota was 70 per cent complete. Oats combining was 85 per cent complete in Nebraska, and 65 per cent complete in Colorado and South Dakota. The agency said a few early fields of oats, barley, and rye have been cut in North Da-

kota.

No Hoard Of Wealth Found

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The receiver for Dobich Securities Corp., which declared bankruptcy after its president was killed in a helicopter crash, said today a search has produced no

hidden hoard of wealth.

Donald Buttrey said that in addition to a $71,000 certified check which he blocked from being cashed, he has found a $3,000 certified check was written by the late Michael Dobich. “We are now trying to trace this check,” Buttrey said. “There was another fairly large

check out, but it was not certified and not cashed. Of course, it cannot be cashed now.” Buttrey earlier told newsmen at the time of a preliminary report on the assets and liabilities of the firm that he doubted assets would be found but he would search anyhow. As it now stands, those persons who bought about $2.9 million worth of stock from Dobich in an insurance company but did not receive their stock certificates apparently will lose most of that money. A first meeting of creditors will be held Tuesday by Federal bankruptcy referee Paul Pfister and Buttrey said as many as 100 may attend. He expects

mpst creditors to be represented by attorneys. Secretary of State John Bottorff said today interrogatories are being prepared by his office to be sent to the officers of the Midwestern United Life Insurance Co., Fort Wayne. That was the firm in whose stock Dobich specialized.
