bility that political opposition might
grow If acreage reductions were con
tinued In tho face or lower supplies
and high prices.
3. Another year or drouth in 1935,
while not expected, would require
use of all acres to maintain supplies
at normal.

crop Is already being predicted. Some
officials point out that plowing for
winter wheat ahould be under way
soon but preparations are Impossible
In the dust.
Supervision of production will not
be abandoned next year. The system
of contracting for reductions, possibly
bringing a number of crops under a
single contract, and making benerit
payments, will continue whether or
not the cuts actually are executed.

GOVERNMENT NOT
ASKING FOR THE
FAMILY SILVER
By William L. Iteale
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON (P) Hold on to
your silver spoons, watches and
dimes the government doesn't
want them. And don't expect your
quarters and half-dollars to turn Into
any different kind of money tomor
row from what they are today.
These things were not changed by
the presidential order nationalizing
silver stocks
What Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary
Morgenthau are doing Is calling Into
the treasury stocks of bullion silver
which are traded In an the commer
cial markets. These stocks may range
anywhere from 45,000,000 to 250,000,
000 ounces.
Buying in this sliver at the rate of
50.01 cents an ounce is what is meant
by "nationalising" stiver. It Is taking
government ownership of floating
commercial stocks not being used in
industry and commerce.
When gold was nationalized the
government simultaneously adopted
a policy of taking that metal out of
circulation as mones and storing It
in huge treasury and mine vaults as
a permanently-guarded support for
United States money.
But silver is not being taken out
of circulation. You will still Jingle
dimes and quarters If you have them
In your pocket.
The president's order is part of the
administrative work in carrying out
the act of congress directing the
treasury to build up a stock of silver
which In relation to the gold stock
will be one of three. The exact
amount will depend on the variations
In the gold stock which now exceeds
$7,000,000,000. ,

LONDON Financial quarters were
puzzled by the move. Several writers
expressed doubt the program would
have great effect outsido the United
States. Some ascribed the step as an
inflationary move and the dollar
dropped on yesterday's market.

Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryan,
one-time Davis cup doubles pair,
played 98 games with Berkeley Bell
and Gregory Mangln before darkness
halted the match at two sets all and

Next day the boys started all over
again and the Allison-Van Ryan com
bination swept through In three

foreign waters In nearly 40 years.
She first sailed in French waters
when she raced against the Amer

Cowes round Cherbourg breakwater
and back a course of 120 miles. The
race was sailed In half a gale of
wind, and Britannia finished 3 sec

Her only visits to foreign regattas
were when the late King Edward took
her to the Mediterranean in 1804 and

the talk of America!
Announced in April, it's going stronger than ever in
August this sensational new 'G-3" Goodyear All-
Weather. The word's out spread by "G-3" users
that it's even better than we advertise. They say "43
more non-skid mileage" is too modest. They say its
greater Center Traction grips so much better stops
cars so much quicker there's no comparison with
other tires. All of which is sweet music and makes
our sales zoom! Take a few minutes come see what
it's all about. You'll be well repaid !
