The hearing will con tinue today at the Marion hotel. The hop control board's recom mendation that 150.000 hales be aet by the secretary of agriculture as the 1939 salable quantity or hops was endorsed by Ben Hilton, Grants Pass grower, and W. H. Anderson, Eugene grower. "With no control over the 1939 marketable quantity hop growers can expect 10 cents a pound this fall," Anderson warned. ; Lachmiind Holds Bale Limit High . Even the 145,000-bale limit originally considered is "too high. Louis Lachmund, eontrol board chairman, declared. The board chairman bitterly de nounced continued importation of foreign hops, which, be asserted, "destroys .the rery thing this mar keting agreement is striving to create." Foreign bops. Lachmund maintained, are not a prerequisite to a good brew. : . r : , The bop control board, using Iri- - formation not -available to Jthe federal erop reporting service, es timated coast states' 1939 produc tion at 182,000 bales as against the reporting service's forecast of 197,670 bales, C. W. Paulus, man aging agent for the . board, testi fied. Its recommendation of sal able quantity was based on this estimate, he said. Paulus estimated Oregon pro duction at 94,000 bales from 19,- J 63 acres in 684 yards; California output at 47,000 bales from 6821 acres comprised by 146 yards and the Washington yield at 41,000 bales from '4845 acres in 260 yards. 1939 Salable Quantity MnUed Taking testimony relative to de termining the 1939 salable quan tity occupied nearly - the entire schedule of the day's meeting Growers were urged by Neil Brooks, US department of agri culture official and presiding offi- ' eer, to present their own views and information on the subject. Reduction of 1938 hops' inclu sion In' the present salable ton nage was opposed by M. J. New- house, secretary-general manager of the Pacific Coast Hop Stabili sation corporation. He said there was not only a "moral obligation" to keep faith with holders of 1938 hops but also a need for a "cush ion crop" plan to protect brew ers against any crop failure such as occurred in 1936. At the same time, he said, the "cushion crop' surplus should be used up each ' fall after harvest. '- - Newhouse said he believed the 1939 : hop production, should be reduced . because the ' industry is suffering from "chronic overpro duction." Xi-'.-e-t "V i - Subsequent testimony brought out that all hops held under, loan by the corporation were normal hops moving .In trade channels and properly certificated as a part of the . borrower's 1938 ' salable quantity allotment. : The ' federal marketing agreement,- it. was pointed out,: specifies thai consld- . eratlon must be given to any car ryover of these hops.

Japanese Riot Before British Tokyo Building Britain and France Join in Anniversary of Revolution Tsingtao Consulate Hit by Hand Grenades in new Outburst (By the Associated Press) Two mighty demonstrations on opposite sides of the. world yes terday focused attention on its current major troubles. In Paris, Britain and France joined on the 150th anniversary of the French revolution in parad ing their revitalized land, sea and air forces. In Tokyo, one of Japan's great est outbursts against a foreign power was staged by 50,000 anti British demonstrators. After reviewing the first British-French joint military display since World war days French Premier Daladler declared Lis na tion's army "capable of breaking any attack that can Imperil our country." One million people saw the dis play of the democratic partners' armed might, hut it was the eyes of Adolf Hitler that Britain and France hoped to catch Plead to Congress Roosevelt and Hull In Washington, President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull sent a joint appeal to a rebellious con gress urging that the arms em bargo in the neutrality law be scrapped, lest it tempt nations already fully armed to plunge the world into war. They failed to mention the Rome-Berlin axl by name butl tney asserted tn em cargo clause "plays into the hands of those na tions which had taken the lead In building up their fighting power." Tokyo's angry demonstration capped nationwide anti-British manifestations In which Japanese newspapers said 15,000,000 per sons participated- to show their bitterness against Britain for her aid to China. One thousand Japanese police, forwarned of the outburst, ringed the British embassy and held back the throngs clamoring to rush its gates. Strained British-Japanese rela tions in China worsened when un identified persons hurled two hand grenades into the British consu late at Tsingtao, where anti-Brit ish demonstrations launched three weeks ago hare become increas ingly violent. Third Attack Made in Week It was the third attack within a week on the consulate, which was the target of stones which British said Japanese-inspired demonstra tors threw last Monday and Wed nesday. The hand grenades shattered windows and inflicted other dam age but failed to injure anyone in the consulate, under a virtual state of siege since July 3.
