F L ESTIMATE ON CORN CROP Washington, Nov. 9 (IP) The de partment of agriculture today fore cast a corn crop this year of 1,371, 627,000 bushels compared to 2,344, 000,000 bushels last year and an average annual crop during the five years, 1927-31, of 2,510,000,000 bushr els. The Indicated production, as or iginally predicted, Is the smallest since 1804. The department reported that 92,526,000 acres, yielding an aver age of 22.0 bushels er aero was yielded by 102,397.000 acres, and in the five year period, 1927-31, the average yield was 25.7 bushels on I00,70(j,000 acres. Virtually concluding Its statisti cal reports on this year's crops, with only one official summary remain ing, the department confirmed earlier predictions that yields of principal field crops would be the lowest In 30 years. Drought is chief ly to blame, although reduced acre age in accordance with AAA control programs cut production substan tially.

HESITANCY IS GIVING PLACE TO EXPANSION New York, Nov. 9 (IP Much of the hesitancy and uncertainty which have weighed heavily on business advancement In the last few months are being replaced by a more de termined attiture to accomplish ex panslon, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. said today in a weekly business re view. "With the results of the election auguring an early termination of the conflicting forces, which have delayed decisions on many Issues vital to commercial progress, more unification of attack on remaining obstructions Is in prospect, regard less of the direction this may take," Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., said. "The extreme emergency measures of last year doubtless will be softened Into a better-balanced intermediate and direct course, In order to ameliorate the severity which many of these imposed in their enforcement." Retail sales surged strongly for ward in most sections last week un der influence of colder weather. It was the best week of the fall sea son, the review said, for movement of women's coats, men's clothing, top coats and shoes, which ranged from 10 to 25 per cent in excess of, the dollar figures for the corres-1 ponding week In 1933 with unit: volume ranging from 8 to 10 per j cent higher. The public is again In the buy ing mood, and retailers are being forced to replenish stocks which has been considered ample for the eason," the survey said. Industrialists are beginning to car ry out plans for expansion, which long have been In abeyance, the survey said. They are finding the banks have adopted a particularly helpful attitude In their considera tion of applications for loans. BIT STRONGER Boston, Nov. 9 (P The commer cial bulletin will say tomorrow: There is a better demand for wool this week, chiefly for half blood and finer, for which prices are a bit stronger. This reflects better business in the goods mar kets for civilian fabrics. 'Some further movement of fine wools is reported out of the south west at the top prices noted a week aso." The bulletin will publish the fol lowing quotations: Scoured basis: Oregon, fine and f. m. staple 72- 74; fine and f. m. combing 70-72; fine and f. m. clothing 62-65.

Continuation of Kidnaper's Wife -From Page One' same house. Brs. Feldmnn was said to be a sister of Miss Hurtienne. Roseburg, Nov. 0 (P) Heavily armed federal agents guarded a critically injured Urschel kidnaping suspect here today while other ngents sought to amass more evi dence against him. Alvin H. Scott, in a hospital here with a fractured skull received In an automobile crash a week ago, was too ill to comprehend fully Uie kidnaping charges against hun. Similar charges of conspiracy in concealing ransom paid for the re lease of Charles F. Urschel, Okla homa oil man, have been placed against Margaret Hurtienne, his housekeeper here. At Medlord, Ore., slightly more than 100 miles south of here, of ficers continued digging and search ing at Scott's home which they said yielded $4,000 in bank drafts and more than $1,000 in $10 and $20 bills aud some gold, allegedly part of the ransom. The loot dug up In a woodshed at Scott's home Wednesday night, brought the alleged ransom money to $2,820, the remainder reputedly ; being found on Scott's person after his automobile wreck. The search at Scott's squalid house In the outskirts of Medlord was fruitless several hours until a state police officer noticed a scrap of pa per on a rullcr In a woodshed. They dug directly beneath the pa per and found the bank notes and ansoni money in fruit jars. The notes were made payable to Mrs. George L. Davis," correspond ing to the alias used by Albert L. Bates, serving a life sentence for kidnaping Urschel, Ofiicers today sought for ques tioning, a carpenter who was work ing at the house when the olticers approached with the search warrant. A windmill tower behind the house had been remodeled with an appar ent store room over which there was what might be used as a bedroom and above that a well-ventilated electrically wired room. The walls were being soundproofed. At Medlord a bank official esti mated $25,000 Urschel ransom mo ney had been spent in southern Ore gon the Inst six months. It was Urs chel bills, showing up In bank de posits, which first led to the placing of Scott under surveillance, federal agents said. $2,000 WATCH FOUND Akron, O. (IP) A $2,000 diamond- onyx wrist watch, lost three years ago by the daughter of Salmon P. nolle, Cleveland department store operator, was recovered and claimed here recently. Mrs. Halle's name. Carrie Moss Halle, engraven on the watch, led to its discovery. A Cleve lander who found it, according to police, sent It to an Akron Jeweler to hove the crystal replaced, B. F. Frankey, Cleveland detective, and Halle's secretary, identified It. Appear With Chemeketa Players Tonight TTO BE RELENTLESS Police Agencies throughout the northwest today continued a relent less search for John Giles, alias Jack Laird, who escaped from the state penitentiary annex Wednesday evening. Darden Lewis stid the manhunt would continue until the man was returned. We believe that he will be ap prehended but it may require some time," the warden declared. Police were not relying entirely on ordinary methods of search to capture Giles. They know he pos sesses more Intelligence and cun ning than most criminals. Ordinary methods of blocking highways and sending armed posses through wood ed regions were supplemented. Giles was sentenced to life im prisonment for the murder of Dep uty Sheriff Frank W. Twombley in Portland on November 19, 1918. At that time capital punishment was abolished m Oregon. Seven years ago he was given the status of a trusty. While in the main penitentiary he printed the prison paper and raised cats. When transferred to the annex, he sent the cats by express to his brother in Los Angeles, fearful that they might not have proper quarters at the annex. Continuation of Neophytes To Run From Page One Lincoln county, and Earl Hill, re publican of Lane county. It was also indicated an effort would be made to name a new member from Multnomah, Howard Latourette, or William L. Graham, a veteran, both democrats. However legislators will be influ enced by two situations. One is that seldom is a new member nam ed leader of an organization over a veteran. The other is the cus tom of naming an upstate speaker when the president of the senate is apparently assured a Porllander Harry L. Corbett. This would put the race between Cooler and Hill, and with 37 democrats elected, Cooter s chances appear almost on the par with the campaign already made by Hill prior to the election. The republicans named new mem bers, several of them young attor neys who have been practicing but a short time, Walter Norblad, son of the former governor, will succeed E. C. Judd of Clatsop county, and W. W. Knight will succeed B. F. Nichols of Douglas county. Other new members named by republicans include J. W. Hughes to succeed E. J. McAlcar of Washing ton county; W. R. Osborne to suc ceed Arthur McPhillips, demo crat; Llye D. Thomas of Polk county to succeed Dean Walker who was promoted to the senate; A. Rennie of Benton will succeed H. C. Herron. In Marion county two new re publicans were named to the house, Ronald Jones and Walter Fuhrer, who succeed Carle Abrams and Otto Paulus; Howard S. Merriam was named from Lane county to succeed E. A. McCornach who was promoted to the senate; Glenn R. Riddle was added from Doxiglas county to succeed A. G. Clarke; W. j A. Johnson was elected from Jose- J phine county to succeed W. T. Mil ler. E. R. Fatland, will succeed Earl Snell to the legislature from the 22nd district while Carl Engdahl will take the place of Dr. James A. Best from Umatilla county. Best was promoted to the senate, C. T. Hockett, republican, will succeed W, F. Allen from Wallowa county. Veteran republicans remaining in the house include Homer D. Angell of Portland, a former member; H. H.
