30,502 COUPLES
IN ITALY GIVEN
'BABYJOITIES'
Loans Of Ten-Month Period
Total Over $2,600,000
In Mussolini's Campaign
To Increase Population.
By ptewnrt Brown
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
ROME (UP) In the 10 months
since the Institution of "baby loans."
designed to Increase the birth rats,
the fascist government has advanced
more than t2.600.000 to 30.502 mar
ried couples who want children but
can't afford them.
The effect of these loan on the
birth rate cannot be determined yet
because the first loans were only
granted In August of last year
But fascist officials are confident
the natality chart will register a
sharp upward rise because these loans
are automatically reduced with tho
birth of each child. Four children
wipe out the entire debt to the gov
ernment. The fascist grand council, meeting
In March last year, decided to In
stitute loans to poor couples who
want children but lacked the necea
sary cash for doctor bills and care.
This was done to encourage an In
crease In the birth rate, which was
not rising at a speed which Premier
Benito Mussolini would have lilted
to see.
The loans, varying from S53 to
155, are restricted to couples un
der M 'who are not earning more
than $630 annually. The loans are
repayable over a number of years,
with the stipulation the payment
will be reduced with the birth of
each child.
With the birth of the first child
the amount of the loan Is automat
ically reduced 10 percent. The blrtl
of the second child reduces the loan
another 30 percent. The third child
uts the loan down another 30 per
cent. The remaining sum Is automat
ically canceled when a fourth child
la born. The birth of each child aut
omatically postpones for one year the
interest and amortization due on the
loan for that year.
since Aumisi I. 1937. there have
been 30.503 loans granted for a totaf
of (3.677.813. The largest percentage
of these loans (through May of this
year) went to common employes,
while farmers showed the lowest per
centage. In addition to this form of aid to
deserving young couples, the govern
ment also haa continued Its policy
of making outright cash gifts to poor
families. In three years the govern
ment has given cash prizes totaling
913,000.000 to young couples, elthe.
for having got married or raising
children. Approximately one-third of
this money was given to young cou
ples who wanted to get married but
did not have enough money, and the
other two-thirds to couples who
already were married but could not
afford children.
Back of all these measures la Mus
solini's aeslre to arrest a tendency
toward a declining birth rate and to
carry Italy's population to 60.000,000
as soon as possible.

WHEAT STATES
SERVE MASSES
White Loaf No Longer Sign
of Wealth Due to Mass
Production On U.S. Farms
Origin of Grain Lost
WASHINGTON (UP) Wheat has
been the most Important cereal In
International commerce since Bibli
cal times, says the National Oro
graphic society.
"Wheat's supremacy has endured
throughout history." the society re
ported, "since Biblical days when
Hiram, king of Tyre, sent timber of
cedar and fir for King Solomon'f tem
ple at Jerusalem in barter for 30.000
measures of wheat.
"Stock tickers on modern ex
changes record the same transaction
for which Jacob's 10 sons journeyed
from Israel's famine to Egypt's ever
normal granary established by their
brother, Prime Minister Joseph.
"Wheat, called king of cereals. Is
simply grass gone handsomely to
seed. Each flower packs all available
earth's food and sun's energy In Its
fruitage of golden nuggets The ripe
grains are In fact seeds, cunningly
stored with food for the coming win
ter." Crop Made Inexpensive
The society, in the first of a series
of reports on "Commodities : Com
mon and Uncommon " said develop
ment of American wheat resources
and the machinery to harvest vast
tracks gave the .vorld Its first In
expensive wheat. Before American
mass production dropped the price of
wheat, only the rich could afford
wheat bread. The masses ate black
bread of barley or rye.
"As American Inventiveness gavo
large-scale planting a sudden im
petus," the report said, "the winning
of the western plains gave It a place.
Minnesota earned the official nick
name of the Wheat state."
After Minnesota winter wheat
flourished experimentally on five
acres In Kansas In 1870, a band of
Mennonlt immigrants from the
Crimea, brought bushels of Russian
seed wheat Into Kanaas In 1873 That
state became headquarters for hard
winter wheat.
Kansas produces one-fifth of the
nation's total wheat crop, although
about 30 other states grow at least
1,000,000 bushels a year. Harvests of
Ohio. Oklahoma and Texas keen these
states also near the top of the list.
Washington Grew It
l Among the early wheat growers wa
I George Washington. He operated
i wheat fields and a mill at Mount
Vernon, selling hit flour for $13 a
barrel. Other colonists along the At
lantic coast acted as wheat mer
chants for the sugar plantations of
the West Indies.
The society said authorities dis
agree on the origin of wheat
"Quest for the wild grass from
which humanity tamed wheat has
taken scientists to Palestine, to
Mesopotamia, to South Central Asia,"
the report said. "Some claim to have
discovered the wild wheat ancestor
In a hill grass of Syria; others main
tain that wild wheat Is as extinct
as the dinosaur, that wheat can no
longer live without man's -are"

TRAIN CAREENING PASI
MINEOLA. N. Y., Aug. 9. P)
The peculiar handling of a Long
Island railroad sivtun train, wiitch
overshot three stations by a couple
of train lengths and then had to back
up, ended hero today with the col
lapse and death of Engineer George
Amberman. 43. of Lake Ronkonkoma.
Amberman took the train out of
Lake Ronkonkoma with 800 New
York-bound passengers at 1:33 a. m

led several Hundred feet past the sta
tion, came to a sudden shuddering
halt and backed up.
The same thing happened at West
bury and at Carl Place. O. H. Gelde,
the conductor made his way forward
and at the Mlneola stop got out and
climbed into the locomotive cab.
Amberman, hand on the throttle,
face lax, mumbled sometning. Gelde
and Irving Post, the fireman, lifted
him out and an ambulance took him
to Nassau hospital where he died.

An autopsy will be performed to
determine the cause of his death.
