1 Farm and Industry Face
Bright Period This Fall
Says Economics Bureau
Higher Prices for Most Products From Soil
Increased Industrial Activity
Confident Prediction
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17. P Higher price for most farm product and
Increased activity in many Industries during the fell months were pre
dicted today by the bureau of agricultural economics la Its October
price situation report.
An Increase In the general level of - . ,.
wholesale prices during the past year!
from 104 per cent of the 1910-1914
average to about 113 ner cent was
V" attributed to advances In prices of
farm products and foods since prices
of non-agricultural products remain
ed practically unchanged.
Farm Products Low.
"Despite the marked advance from
the depression low, farm products In
percentage of the pre-war average axe
still about the lowest of any speci
fied group of products, where as
prices of building materials, house
furnishing goods, fuel and lighting
products are the highest," the bureau
eald.
Increased activity the latter half
of September indicated, the report
added, that the seasonal autumn re
covery In business was beginning.
"The decline in business activity In
the past few months' has been ac
companied by some decline In em
ployment and payrolls but the In
comes of industrial workers are still
somewhat larger than a year ago," the
report said.
Retail Trade Stimulated.
This, together with the larger In
comes of farmers and the government
a' relief expenditures has stimulated re-
tail trade. The sharp Increase in re
tall sales In August was followed by
only a slight recession in September
in department store sales and a fur
ther Increase In rural sales."
The bureau analyzed farm price
probabilities for the fall as follows:
1. Wheat prospects point toward
taome further recovery" rather than
a decline, depending on the condi
tion of the southern hemisphere orop
and the amount of grain fed to poul
try and livestock in this country.
a. Corn prices "may be expected
to remain at relatively high levels
throughout the coming year" with
the present shortage of grain indi
cating somewhat higher prices by De
cember or January.
3. Potato prices are likely to re
main at or near the present low levels
during the 1934-35 season.
4. "The seasonal decline In hog
prices now In progress Is more likely
than usual and of shorter duration"
due to fewer hoga and short feed
supplies.
5. Prices of better grades of cat-
tie "are expected to be fairly well
maintained" during the coming two
months although declines are forecast
in the lower grades If the government
ceases to purchase cattle and adverse
weather sets in.
6. Prices of eggs and chickens are
expected to go higher during the next
three or four months, responding to
the light supply situation.

TEDDY JUNIOR GIVEN
HOT SHOT BY ICKES
ON SELL OUI CLAIM
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. (Jp) Sec
retary Ickes, who Is accused In a
speech several days ago by Theodore
Roosevelt. Jr., of "selling out," told
reporters today that Roosevelt him
self was an expert at selling out.
"You know ordinarily I would not
pay any attention to a charge of that
sort," Ickes said In a press conference.
"But when It comes from an expert,
it deserves more consideration. Mr.
Roosevelt himself Is an erpert at sell
ing out."
The secretary said he recalled In this
connection the 1920 Republican con
vention at Chicago which nominated
Warren O. Harding for president. As
a delegate at large from Illinois. Ickes
said he had urged Theodore Roose
velt, Jr., to Issue a statement "before
that fate befell us."
"I wanted him to denounce Hard
ing and say that the old Roosevelt
following would not follow him be
cause of the virulent things he said
against the first President Roosevelt.
He refused. I Issued the statement
myself and It did not carry much
weight."
When Harding was nominated, T.
R., Jr., Ickes said, campaigned for
him all over the country and later
became aslstant secretary of the navy.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17. (jp) A con
gressional committee elicited testi

tary Instructions from Germany and
In German-made uniforms.
The disclosures were made by FTed
erlch Karl Kruppa. formerly a. nasi
propaganda director In the United
States, aocordlng to his testimony.
but now out of the movement because
of his feeling It had no place In the
United States.
Questioned by Representative John
W. McCormack of Massachusetts,
chairman, Kruppa added that tlio
nazls were accustomed to punish Ger
man relatives of German families in
America which refuse or fall to obey
orders of the friends of new Germany
here.
T
SEATTLE, Oct. 17. (JP) Apparently
trying to start a "new tradition," BOO
University of Washington underclass
men rioted In the fraternity district
last night, ceasing only when police
arrived after the rioters had raided
fraternity houses, "ducked" member
in shower baths and had been doused
themselves by buckets of water flung
from windows.
The melee started with an effort by
freshmen of one fraternity to enter
a neighboring fraternity house to
throw the latter's freshmen In the
shower bath.
Herbert T. Condon, dean of men
said he did not plan any disciplinary
action. He said an excess of enthusl
asm over the university's football
team's defeat of Oregon Saturday may
have led to the outburst.
