Capital, With Another Bumper Tourist Crop By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (JP) Let Maine rave about its potatoes. Let Iowa brag about its corn. Let Kansas holler about its wheat Here in Washington we're busy harvesting a bumper crop, too. I'm happy to report that, tude-, ' lng from the early sampling, an ,,,,, ,h,t ,. nf very fine tourist bu, no.., L,OD. I In addition to such things at Bake and broil atthegarnetfnief s r v. we'll have yield this year. This la a strange town. Its biggest industry, of course, is government. It's next biggest is the tourist business. The Washington board of trade estimates that 3,500,000 people come here each year to gawk at the sights. While gawking, they part with around $60,000,000. The Board of Trade figures end here. But the Edson stat istical service, whose unreliability has never been questioned, chips in with a few other morsels. It estimates that most of these 3.500,000 visitors will have their pictures taken while standing in front of the U. S. Capitol. All too many of these will show the Capitol dimly, but give a wonderful view of Aunt Bessie's store teeth, which almost lit It takes 45 buses, and hundreds of taxis taxiing part-time, to tote these tourist to the places they want to see. Popular Goals Listed Bob Atwood. who manages a bus line, says these are the goals of the average visitor, in the approximate order of their popularity: Inside The City 1. The White House. 2. The CapitoL 3. The Smithsonian Institu tion. 4. The Bureau of Engraving. Outside The City 1. Mount Vernon. 2. Arlington. 3. Alexandria tall In Virginia). The high up Washington Monu ment also rates high up with the visitors, but It isn't on Atwood's list. That's because It takes so long to stand In line, waiting for the apothecary shop where Mrs. G. Washington used to order castor oil, by the quart, historical Alexandria has a new attraction. Tourists seem impressed when the spieler spouts: "And here is the home of John L. Lewis." Any tourists have strange ideas about our nation's capital? "Yes," said Atwood, the mis conception he likes best came several years ago when an old railroader chuffed into town. , He took one look at the large, marhledomed building and cried: "Great scott, what a marvelous roundhouse!" He seemed plumb put out when the bus driver told him that was no roundhouse only the U. S. Capitol. Liquor Addict Requests Term in Penitentiary NEWPORT, Wash., Aug. 19. (.T) Harry G.

Support of Farm Prices Expected In Dewey's Talks WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-.P) A Democratic farm vote chal lenge appeared likely today to be answered bv a campaign pledge from Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to advocate a price support pro gram. Senator Barkley of Kentucky put up the sign posts for Demo crat! farm belt strategy with his assertion at Springfield, 111., that farmers can choose In November between high prices under the Democrats or low prices under the Republicans. Unless he chances his mind. Dewey Is expected to outline a program under which the govern ment would continue to put a loan floor under farm prices. Loans on most major crops now are made at 90 per cent of parity, a formula aimed at keep ing farm prices In line with the prices of things the grower buys. Congress continued the present price support program for a year, but voted to put, into effect on Jan. 1, 19.V), a long range pro posal under which loan floors would be slightly lower on field crops but a little higher on live stork and dairy products. Dewey is expected to indicate any changes he may have in mind for this long-range pro gram. Its parity formula doesn't take Into account the cost of hired farm labor, a point that Dewey said in Corvallis, Ore., last May must be given "consideration. Experts said the labor cost fac tor would raise the price level in most -'ears. During his Oregon campaign, Dewey outlined his Ideas on gen eral farm legislation. He said essential points Include soil conservation. Irrigation to boost productive acreage, develop ment of animal agriculture and Its by-products, a strong parity Rrice support program, Better andllng by the Interior Depart ment of western resources and stabilization of the wool and su gar beet markets in favor of "sub stantial" production.
