POLICY EXPLAINED
IN WHEAT EXPORT
Agriculture Department An
1 nounces Wheat Will Be
Purchased and Resold to
Exporters at Low Price
WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. ) The
agriculture department announced
today Its wheat export suoaldy pro
gram would be carried out by pur
chasing wheat and reselling tt to ex
porters at a price enabling them to
meet competition In the world mar
ket. ' Acting Secretary M. L. Wilton, who
announced the policy In the absence
of Secretary Wallace said the pro
gram would be handled by the sur
plus commodity corporation.
He explained losses sustained bj
the corporation in reselling the wheat
to exporters would be made up from
customs receipts set aside by the
farm law for the removal and dispos
al of farm surpluses.
To Use Huge Sum
The surplus commodities corpora
tion has arranged to borrow 130.000.
000 from the reconstruction flnanco
corporation and this sum will be
1 used as a revolving fund In the ex
porting operations.
First purchasers under-the program
were made last Saturday. .
Wilson sold In the actual sale of
the wheat the corporation plans to
pursue a merchandising policy sim
ilar to that which has been adoptod
by the Canadian wheat Doard.
In carrying out the program the
facilities ol the regular wheat xtttl
flour trade, Including farmer coopor
. atlvM. will be used, he said.
Wilson said the program would oe
limited to 100,000,000 bushels.
18 Per Cent of Trade
"Exports of 100,000,000 bushels
would be approximately 18 per cent
of the estimated world trade In wheat
for this season," he said, "This com
pares with about 20 per cent of the
world trade that the United States
obtained during the past season und
with an average share in world wheat
exports of approximately 26 per cent
during the years of 1930 to 1930."
Wilson said that In actual opera
tion of the program an offer and ac
ceptance method would be used, un
der which exporters of wheat and
flour would make offers for wheat or
flour based upon the prices prevail
lng In the export market.
These offers may be less than the
domestlo price paid for wheat by the
surplus commodities corporation and
the difference between the resale
price to exporters and the price paid
to domestlo holders would ccme from
customs receipts.

IS RIDICULED BY
NAZI SPOKESMAN
Charge . That Effort Being
Made To Destroy Church
In Germany Branded Non
sense By Propagandist.
BERLIN. Aug. 80. (AP) A propa
ganda - ministry spokesman today
branded as "nonsense" charge; made
by Germany! Roman Catholie hclr
archy In a paatoral letter efforta were
being made In Germany to destroy
the church,
"All one haa to do," the Spokes-
man said, "la to compare what tha
German state has done for the Cath
ollc church. The government Is pay
ing millions of marks annually to the
church and the fact that the read
ing of the letter was possible clearly
demonstrates that there can be no
talk about persecution.
Protection Is Aim
"The. government tteelf has the
moat earnest desire to protect the
church from antl-rellglous demon
strations." -
Aa evidence of this be cited th
fact the government had banned a;
number of publications adhering to j
an an tl religious policy.
Answorlng the bishop's charge "un-1
paralleled, ugly, concentric attacks
and outrages" were used against
Bishop Johann Sproll who was ex
pelled from Wurttemberg last Thurs
day, the spokesman said the nails
had acted solely to protect tfce bishop
The letter, formulated at a recent
conference of bishops at Pulda and
read from pulpits yesterday, told not
mention the nazla by name.
Asks Strife Halt
It appealed from cessation of the
"battle against Christendom beoauM
this very strife is causing a deep
rift among ths German people and
declared thousands of Catholics were
asking whether they stlU wore "citi
zens with equal right notwithstand
ing their avowal of the common weal
and fidelity to the state."
Assailing unnamed personalities for
attacking In a damaging manner"
the personal honor of Pope Plus,
the letter satd "We Oerman bishops
stand behind him all the more close
ly and faithfully when he suffer
for our sake,"
It recalled the church had out
lasted all strife for 3.000 years and
prophesied It would endure in the
future.
BUDAPEST, Aug. SO. An ex
plosion which was heard throughout
downtown Budapest occurred today
40 minutes after Adm. Nicholas Ho,
thy, Hungary's regent, returning from
a, state visit to Germany, had landed
from a Danube river steamer.
Officials said the explosion had no
political meaning and denied It was
a demonstration against the regent.
They suggested fireworks left over
from the celebration of St. Stephen's
dey, August 30, might have exploded
Police began an Investigation of
the blast, .which threw up a large
cllumn of smoke.

METEOR IN TREE
ONLY A CLINKER,
BELIEVES EXPERT
ZUOKNE, Aug. 30. (p) Express
ing the opinion that the reported
"meteorite" which 'landed In a tree
near La Pine recently was not a rao
teorlte at all, Dr. J. High Pruett
western representative of the Amer
ican Meteorological society, said to
day from what he had been able to
determine, he believed the object was
a "clinker."
All attempts to obtain a piece of
the object for examination have fail
ed, Dr. Pruett said, declaring he had
been refused access to the material.
If a small piece of the material could
be obtained. It could quickly be de
termined whether or not it was truly
meteoric, he satd.
"There tree meteorites have often
been found and reports of Investiga
tions have been published. ' he said
"Many forestry men conslaer them
nothing but clinkers that are formrd
inside the trunk of a tree after a
slow fire probably caused by light
nlng has burned for days or weeks
A necessary condition for the forma
tion of such clinkers Is an enclosed
space where the oxygen supply is de
ficient and where accumulated heat,
having practically no chance for dis
sipation, becomes very Intense.
"I receive dozens of clinkers every
year from those who suspect they are
meteorites. It seems likely most uf
these have formed when tree roots
have burned slowly underground.
'Contrary to the general Impression,
It is now known that meteorites cesi
to glow long before they reach the
earth. In general, they are not tut
enough to set anything on fire when
they strike. Some have bean ptckoi
up Immediately and can usually he
handled without much discomfort."
Ancient Bronze Cat Stirs
Row Over Bread and Art

ST, LOUIS (UP) -A 914,400 bronze
cat, cast In Egypt 3,400 years ago.
Is the center of a squabble between
the City Art museum on one side
and newspapers and citizens on the
other.
The figure, possibly fashioned to
enshrine the mummy of a favorite
temple cat, was purchased recently
by the city from a New York art
dealer. It was placed In the museum
along with other relics of ancient
Egypt-
But It met opposition of citizens.
Protests poured Into the offices of
museum officials from citizens in
dignant 'over the expenditure of so
much money when the city's needy
were facing hunger.
A newspaper entered the fight,
devoting a part of Its editorial page
to "An Open Letter to a Cat."
"Somehow we think your visit Is
ill-timed," the editorial said. "You
see, the same day your arrival was
announced the newspapers carried
the pathetic story of the eviction of
a woman and her seven children for
non-payment of $15 a month rent.
The money spent for you would have
paid her rent for the next 18 years.
And there are others In the same
predicament who will be thrown out
Into the streets if relief funds fall.'
Officials of the museum replied
that It was their legal duty to use
the funds alloted to the museum
for the purpose to which they were
Intended Improving and extending
the city's art collections.
Louis La Beaume, president of the
board, expressed sympathy with the
plight of the needy but said there
was nothing he could do about It.
"People cannot live by bread
alone," La Beaume said. "Our uni
versities and schools are crowded
with students acquiring a classical
education. Pew of them can Journey
to Europe or Asia or Africa to study
works of art at first hand.
"Education must not halt because
business marks time."
Mayor Bernard P. Dickman declined
to comment regarding the bronze cat.
He aalo he didn't want to become
Involved in the controversy.
The board of the museum char
acterized the cat as assuming rank
with "the great animal sculptures
of all time." It was estimated that
the statue was molded about 500
B. C in Egypt.
It la made of bronze about an
eighth of an inch thick, cast by the
so-called "lost wax process.-
CARELESS WITH TRUTH
GRANTS PASS. Aug. 30. (AP)
Tourists from Oregon don't always
tell the truth, according to Inspectors
at the California "bug station" on
the Redwood highway between
Grants Pass and Crescent City. One
Inspector said yesterday to be sure to
"tell that to Carson."
In July, the one plant Inspection
station halted 10,013 southbound cars
and found 3,683 carrying plant ma
terial. A total of 641 lots were re
fused admittance as hosts of citrus
pests, alfalfa and sweet potato wee
vils, cherry fruit flies, Oriental fruit
moths, and cotton pests.
For the attention of Mayor Carson
of Portland, who a year ago declared
a boycott of California because In
spectors pried too deeply Into ladles'
suitcases, the Inspectors pointed out:
"757 lots of plant material were
found despite owners' denials; 162
lots were found In suitcases."

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 80. (AP)
The Pacific coast lumber industry's
Increased production took the spot
light today In the monthly business
survey of the federal reserve bank of
San Francisco.
Lumber orders streamed Into tha
Pacific northwest mills late in June,
There was further expansion In July,
and although the volume of orders
has declined since the third week of
July, operations have expanded to
match the bookings.
The upturn in lumber mill opera
tions followed Na considerable In
crease" In residential construction
during the first half of the year. This
rise also continued In July, matching
the 1929 average In that month. Indi
cations of the first three weeks of
August pointed to some decline from
the lively July momentum.
Other lines of coast Industry
showed little change, the bank re
ported. Inventories In hands of man
ufacturers and distributors declined
further, paving the way for gtvattf
Industrial activity. Factory emptu)
ment, however, tended to decline a
little In July. Cement production was
somewhat more active, but well under
last year. Trade lagged. Farm pro
duction, on the whole, was lower
than last year, but greater than aver
age. Prices were lower, and rarm In
come down.
