1938 WHEAT CROP
SECOND URGES!
RECORDEDJN U. S.
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.

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.

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.
