Forecast of 967,512,000 Bushels Makes Loans Mandatory Government Providing Coin to Growers WASHINGTON. July 12. (JP The federal crop reporting board forecast today a 1638 wheat trap of 667.413.- 000 bushels the second largest on record. On the basis of present prices, this estimate made It mandatory under the farm law that the government provide loans to growers desiring to hold aurplus supplies of the bread grain off the market until supplies are smaller and prices are better. The loan rate, which officials said they will announce later In the week, must be between about? 09 and 85 cents a bushel. Officials have Indicated that the rate will be about the minimum. Most Cut Planting The wheat crop estimate aito made It necessary that the agriculture de partment Invoke the crop conUol pro visions of the farm act to restrict planting for next year's crop to prob ably 85.000.000 acres. Growers seeded about 80.000.000 acres for this year's production. The agriculture department also forecast a larger-than-normal corn crop of 2.482,102,000 'bushel on the basis of July 1 conditions. Should next month's report bear out Lhis es timate, officials said it would be nec essary that the department submit to commercial corn belt growers a referendum on the question of In voking marketing quotas. May Store Corn Under the quota system, corn belt farmers would be required to store a certain percentage, of their grain or pay stiff penalty taxes. Two-thirds of those voting would have to ap prove the quotas. Corn production was 2.644.995.000 bushels last year and the ten-year average, 1927-36. was 2 306.157,000 bushels.

LOVELY CO-EOS NOT SO SMART BERKELEY, Cal. (UP) A test of 600 co-eds at the University of Cal ifornia has demonstrated that there Is a tension tward lesser intelligence when pulchritude Is outstanding. That Is the finding of Dr Samuel J. Holmes, outstanding authority In the realm of racial behavior, and C. E. Hatch, his associate. The two scientists refuse to admit that the result of their tests Justifies the expression of "beautiful but dumb," but. find rather that too much pulchritude has a tendency to draw the beautiful co-ed into too many other lines of distractions to enable her to make the most of her academic career. The report shows that mote beau tiful co-eds fail to finish college than do their plainer sisters, with matri mony and social distraction luring them to other fields. However, the two investigators were liberal minded enough to admit In their report that university degrees and grade points are not everything to be desired In life. Use Mall Tribune Want Ada. E BLUE-GRASS FOES Drawing Line Between Ex perience and Inexperience in Advocacy of Barkley Seen As Tactical Blunder By W. B, RAG SD ALE WASHINGTON. July 12. -- (T) President Roosevelt has wh?tted a sharp weapon which may be turned against him by southern senators who have an administration black mark beside their names. Advocating the renomiuatlon of Senate Leader Barkley of Kentucky, the president drew a line between experience and Inexperience in the senate. He spoke of the vantage that knowledge and years of service give an old-timer over a newcomer. Tight rules of seniority govern both house and senate. By the mere process of being elected time after time, a man may move nearer the head of committee tables. Each move gives him a stronger voice in legislation. Two Old Timers. Senators George of Georgia and Smith of South Carolina two of three anti-administration southern ; Democrats up for renominatlon have been In the senate longer than Barkley. The third Tydinga of Mary-; land was sworn in on the Fame day as Barkley. ! Although Mr. Roosevelt na glvon no direct Indication whether he will speak against any of the ttnee dur ing his transcontinental ti!p. new, deal candidates are running against' all of them In the state primaries. The ' natural argument that falls Into the hands of the southern sen ators is: If experience and prestige are valuable assets for a senator from Kentucky, are they not equally valu able for a senator from Ueorgela. or South Carolinn. or Mnrvlnnrt? r The natural reply, for their oppo nents Is: Mr. Roosevelt obviously was referring to experience which posslhle greater cooperation with the administration In putting Across its program. Furthermore, seniority rules sometimes have been criticized be caues they do not consider the abil ity of an Individual legislator. George has been In the senate 16 years. He is chairman of the priv ileges and elections committee Two men stand between him and the chairmanship of the civil service, finance and foreign relations committees. Of these, finance and foreign rela tions are the most Important. One helps fix national tax policies, the other helps determine American for eign policy. On both of these com mittees, is men are In line back of him for the chairmanship. Smith Oldest Demo. Smith has been in the senate longer than any other Democrat. Borah of Idaho, a Republican. Is the only senator with longer contlnuuus ser vice. Borah came in In 1907. Smith In 1009. The South Carolinian is chairman of the highly Important agriculture committee, which helped drMt the new deal farm laws. Some phases of these he opposed. His power as chairman has sometimes made It a little awkward for the administra tion. He has spoken hts mtnd often. He Is ranking member of the inter state commerce, manufacturers and patents committees, second member of naval affairs and privileges and elections. Barkley is two notches back of him on Interstate commerce. Both Tydinga and Barkley came to the senate In 1927, five year after George and 18 years after Smith. Ty dings is chairman of the terri tories and Insular affairs committee and ranking member of naval af fairs In direct line for the chair manship. All these facts may become the basts of campaign orations, espec ially if the president takes a hand In the primaries in the three states.

SEES CORRUPT LIVING AS CAUSE OF DISEASE LOMA LINDA. Calif. (p "Corrupt Ing habits" are endangering the hu man race, says Dr. George Thornason of the College of Medical Evangelists here.
