President Roosevelt ritualized the Pa

will continue along lines of decen

. .i ., . the eaod aeaDOrta.
In her teens, she extended along the
railroads; in her maturity, ene wm
expand along the new smooth main
highways.
This does not mean the cities will
necessarily lose, but that the even
tual United States will be on con
tinuous city.
It Is not an astounding prophecy
becsiw It la already being partially
fulfilled. The main highway from
Washington to New York la practical
ly a continuous city. There are very
few stretches of highway arteries
where you can get more than a few
minutes away from gasoline stations,
lodgings, lunch rooms and garages.
Accompanying this development,
the seers foresee the ultimate spread
of city facilities for comfort and In
dustry through the whole country.
Hydroelectric power development will
bring energy for factories whose prod
ucts can go out on trucks and upon
nearby railroads.
The TVA dream of electric washing
machines, stoves, cooling systems and
furnaces In many homes Is not con
fined to the Tennessee valley. Presi
dent Roosevelt will make other sec
tions then the northwest dam-con-actous

will. Then there will also be tele
vision for amusement, and probably
even the city noises and gasoline
odors.
Up to today the Democratic mem
bers of congress have been faring
xtarordlnertly well In the primaries.
Only seven have bit the dust out of
approximately 200 who faced the
machine gun ballots of their party
voters.
The Democratic congressional cam
paign committee has a good excuse
for every casualty. Mr. Roosevelt's
prestige or the new deal's was not
involved in any of the defeats, they
say. That la, all of the seven (Nesblt,

The lake controversy has been agi

claims of fraudulent acquisition of

a special session late yeaterday, It
was learned here today.
The board made the authorization
upon request of the state relief com

urer to borrow the necessary money
from available funds to support the
certificates of Indebtedness. The au
thorization was made under an act
passed by the second special session
of the 1033 legislature.
The action was taken after the re
lief committee had Informed all mem
bers of the board by letter that fed
eral relief funds would not be forth
coming after August unless the state
contributed more to that end. It was
the belief of the board members that
funds not. to exceed 8250.000 a month,
or a total of 81,350,000 would con
tinue the federal contributions until
ihe 1935 legislature could take neces
sary action.

Hitler in Emotional Eulogy
at Bier Says Late Warrior
Statesman 'Opened the
Door' to German Nazis
TANNENBURG, Germany. Aug, 7.
(AP) Germany burled Paul Von
Hlndenburg In a shrine It holds sa
cred today after Adolt Hitler In an
emotional eulogy at the bier said the
late president "opened the door" to
Nazism.
Brief and simple waa the funeral,
as the old warrior-statesman had
wished, but thousands of uniforms
gave it a military atmosphere.
The body of the 86-year-old leader
was placed to rest In one of the tow
ers of the national war monument,
erected on the scene of Von Hlnden-
burg's great triumph over the Rua-
slan army In 1814.
The entire nation paused during
the funeral hour In a farewell trib
ute to Its revered leader.
Falls to Tell Alms
Hitler, aa on yesterday at a memo
rial service of the relchstag, eulo
gized In glowing terms the man
whose power he took, but he failed
to give the expected Indications of
his future policies.
Von Hlndenburg, said Hitler, his
voice trembling with emotion, "open
ed the door to the representatives"
of German resurgence, referring to
his National Socialist party.
The coffin was placed In front of
a slender, tall cross of bronze. Hit
ler and the Rev. Mr. Dohrmann, Von
Hlndenburg's army chaplain,-' were
the only speakers.
The chancellor, praising the man
who served Germany aa field mar
shal when he himself fought aa a
lance corporal, said : "Twice In the
life of a soldier honorable mention
somes to him alone after a great
victory and after death."

Farm Administration Hatch
ing Idea Modeled After
This Year's Corn, Cotton
Loans Aid Many Crops
Br BTKPIICN J. MCDONOUGH
(Copyright, 1934, by the Associated
Press)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. (AP) A
gigantic crop loan plan which would
leave control of 1933 supplies In the
hands of farmers who grow them Is
hatching In the farm administration.
Modeled after thla year's corn and
cotton loans, the plsn will call for
government loans on a wlda range of
other crops. Thera will ba a stipula
tion that supplies must be sold when
prices rise to a certain point.
Pegged Prices.
Laat year the government advanced
ten centa a pound on stored cotton,
and 45 cent a bushel on corn sealed
In cribs or warehouses. This pegged
prices at those levels and officiate
say the plan was a success.
As prices advanced beyond tnoae
levels recently farmers began selling
crops, paying off loans and making a
profit for themselvee.
The farm administration declarea
the Idea will assist farmers In holding
their eropa Instead of selling at har
vest time when marketings are ordi
narily heavy and prices consequently
low.
(lives Soma Cash.
They will thus ba able to obtalH
soma cash, keep their crops readily
marketable as needed, and sell them
at any time the price ranges between
the loan value and the upper limit.
The program would be co-ordinated I
witn secretary wauaces ice iur
"ever-normal" granarlea. In bounti
ful years the stored gralna would be
held off the market. Ownership would
be returned to farmers without repay
ment of the loans If they would agree
to cut production the next season.
Thus supplies would be kept at about
the level of consumption, plus
amounts assured of sales abroad.

Evidence at Congressional
Hearing Shows Offer to
Buy Stolen Government
Munitions at San Diego
LOS ANOELES, Aug. 7. (API

marine, testified at a congressional
sub-committee hearing here tods7

he had reported the alleged offer to
purchase stolen arms.
Hayes named W. W. Kemp as the
official who made the offer. He de

undersherlff, who was a Jew."
Hayes quoted Kemp as telling him
'the Sliver Shirts will not be both
ered when (he -Umfl comes to act.
Firearms of both the sheriff's office)

necessary, to use force In effecting
the change."
