FRENCH PHI STRIVES FOR UNITY Another German Uprising ; By BURNLEY Walter FOR. A busy m CAMPM flr should &B A GREAT Scra? men THE BLOAIO 1 TEUTOM MEETS SCHMELIA4G, GERMANY'S Formed champ-.- THE German people, who have been getting more than their share of political battles late ly, are due to get a glimpse of some important ring warfare next month when two native sons of the Father land, Walter Neusel and Max Schmeling, clash m the most notable heavyweight scrap to be held on the continent in many a year. Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's hustling pilot, has been exhibiting more en thusiasm over the coming battle than he has shown since his black browed belter dropped the crown. Jacobs says that this battle be tween two leading German heavy- FLAX INDUSTRY Continued from pa go 1) monly used on the 2100 acres of fibre flax raised in the valley this summer. However, extensive tests con ducted at Oregon State college have revealed that J. W. S. as now used in the valley Is becom ing Increasingly subject to rust. Tests in 1932 showed 40 per cent of the flax grown from this seed subject to rust which draws and weakens the fibre. In 1933, 43 per cent of the J. W. S. seeded flax was subject to rust. Tests made at the same time show that flax grown from Stor mont Cirrus seed showed only 16 per cent rust attack in 1932 and only nine per cent in 1933. Stor mont Gossamer seed, used exten sively in Ireland, showed 74 per cent rust attack in 1932 tests and 66 per cent in 1933. It seems less adapted to the heavy valley soils. The 1933 tests also showed that the Stormont Cirrus seed gave the heaviest poundage of line fibre to the acre. In 1933 the tests showed it giv ing 631 pounds of line fibre to the acre compared to 527 pounds for J. W. S. seed and 44 6 pounds ior Stormont Gossamer. As a result the state flax indus try, at the direction of William Elniig, secretary of the board of control, is multiplying the origi nal purchase of 80 pounds of Stov mont Cirrus seed by replanting It is hoped to raise 800 pounds of that seed here this year. Extra purchases are difficult to make since the seed is scarce. If more seed cannot be bought, by another year enough can be raised here for all flax farmers. Einzig says that tests have shown that after a "rest" of three to five years the J. W. S. seed can be replanted here with good results and that the crop then grown will be prac tically rust-free. Another development being made this year is the speeding up of the processing of the flax. Heretofore newly pulled etraw was stored in the penitentiary barns throughout the winter when it was threshed. It was not retted until the following summer and pro cessed the next winter. This year, for the first time in the industry's history, the retting is being speeded up. Already a por tion of the 1934 crop has been threshed and Is being pushed through the retting tanks, then dried in the fields and stored, pre paratory .to scutching the crop this winter. Einzig has three pressing reasons tor this change of proce dure. One is the fact that virtually all the fibre haa been sold and that the linen plants are asking for more. Another is the small crops grown the last two years which has compelled the state to use up the large straw crop stored in its sheds, leaving little but short straw left to ret. The third reason Is the economic one that every day the process of getting fibre from straw can be shortened cuts down the state's Investment In lnren MAKES S I" "f tut XJi" m - l rl FAILED? mm 1 ! S r i tji f i iu he. tea Bftwa Mb iiimmI weights, one a former heavyweight long and the other an outstanding contender, will draw a record gate in Germany. Little Joey is puffing his big cigars at an aggressive angle these days, telling the world that Schmeling will kayo Neusel and then make a successful comeback against his conqueror, Baer. Most fistic judges are inclined to disagree with Jacobs in this opti mistic view of the former cham pion's chances. Charley Harvey, vet eran manager who pilots Steve Hamas, another outstanding heavy weight, thinks that Neusel s awk ward, crowding style will bother Schmeling no end. tory. Einzig Is hopeful that from 1000 to 2000 tons of this year's estimated crop of 4500 tons will be threshed, retted and In the barns when winter comes, ready to be scutched this winter. Still another recent develop ment in the flax industry is the development of new markets for the by-products of the plant. Sev eral eastern manufacturers are experimenting with flax straw in the manufacture of fine papers and of cigarette papers. Several carloads have recently been sold, f. o. b. Salem at $23 a ton. This is considered a favorable sale by the state since its relieves t h e flax plant of running through short straw which has a low yield in fibre and thus does not pay the processing cost. A chart of the assets of the flax industry in cash and inven tory values shows a climb from $280,000 on June 30, 1931, to $390,000 on June 30, 1934. Had not the Industry been compelled to charge heavy depreciation and to accrue as an expense, about $5000 Interest annually for $100, 000 advanced by the state and also to take a $20,000 writedown in inventories in 1933, a substan tial operating profit would have been shown. There may be a considerable profit shown for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1934. This can not be determined until the offi cial audit is completed this month and figures all compiled. Sales price of flax fibre has gone up from the low point of 13 cents a pound in 1932 to 19 cents a pound last year. The state has had the advantage of the $19 a ton price paid for flax straw last summer, Einzig is desirous of repaying to the state treasury $100,000 which was advanced as a loan a number of years Ago. This would help the state deficit that much and would, still leave the industry with ample working capital, espe Factor to Become Movie Star? i V..;. . , John (Jake the Barber) Factor, International speculator and once a victim of kidnapers in Chicago, is pictured with his wife upon their arrival in Los Angeles by plane ior a two-month holiday.

Neusel hopes to avenge Max Schmeling's defeat at the hands of Baer, and thus become the second German to ascend the heavyweight throne. Blond Walter, who fights like a bigger edition of Battling Nel son, is tough and strong, with worlds of endurance, and he might give the chesty Mister Baer an un comfortable time at that.

Einzig, however, thinks the state treasurer should lop off the accrued interest although he could not do this save by legislative act. The average daily balance of the flax industry with the treasurer the last year has ranged from $100,000 to $250,000. None of these balances have brought any interest to the flax industry while the state treasurer has received on most of the balances the cus tomary two per cent. Einzig thinks the accrued Interest on the $100,000 loan should be lopped off to equalize the interest earned by the treasurer on the balances held for the flax fund. Lutherans to Combine Schools MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 20. -fl'y-Professora and educators completing a five day conference today recommended closing five Missouri Lutheran synod semin aries and colleges throughout the nation.

LOCHNER (Associated Press Foreign Staff) BERLIN, July 20. -UP- Adolf Hitler's party and government are putting In considerable hard work during the vacation season, it was apparent today, on the tasks of Te-organlzing the storm troop organization and the In dustrial life of the reich. The object of the storm troop shake-up, which is proceeding thoroughly under the surface, is the removal of men whose poli tics and personal lives do not measure up to the rules laid down after the suppression of the "Roehm revolt." The economic ministry and the special komissar, Count Ruediger von de Goltz, are devoting their efforts toward establishing . the self sufficiency of Germany against the day when lack of foreign exchange or other rea sons make that necessary. Although silence is being ob served with reference to the sift ing of the wheat from the chaff in the storm troop organization it is known the record of every one of the 2.000.000 or more men is being scanned closely. The clean-up Is in the hands of the most trusted men of the regime, but there were official denials of a commonly circulated report that 2000 persons are be ing subjected to nazi court mar tial at Munich.
