Prospects Are For
Record Corn Crop
CHICAGO, (#*)—In the midwest
corn is buying out all over.
Another national crop in excess
of three billion bus h e 1 s — the
fourth in history — appears as
sured. There is a good possibility
the crop will set an all-time rec
ord for the second year in a row.
Some sections of the country
have poorer prospects than a year
ago — notably the Northeastern
States, where a long spring
drought dried up moisture reserve
in the soil. But the crop is in
splendid condition in the main
midwest producing belt.
Latest estimates on the crop
range from 3,500,000,000 bushels,
made by C. M. Galvin of the grain
firm of James E. Bennett and Co.,
to 3,750,000,000 bushels, made by
H. J. Gramlich, general agricul
tural agent of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway.
Last year’s all-time record to
talled 3,650,548,000 bushels. Gram
lich believes this will be topped.

GOP Elects New
Party Chairman
WASHINGTON. <>P)—A Repub
lican national committee split
squarely down the middle found
itself under the command today
of a new chairman, Guy G. Ga
brielson, of New Jersey.
Gabrielson is a 58-year-old law
yerindustrialist. Elected by a five
vote margin over Axel J. Beck.
South Dakota farmer-business
man, he promised complete neu
trality as between candidates for
President and Congress.
But Gabrielson’s election yes
terday by a 52 to 47 vote over
Beck—state chairman A. T. ‘Bert’
Howard of Nebraska got a single
vote—put the national party’s ma
chinery back in the familiar
hands of long time supporters of
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
Beck got one vote from Alaska.
The new chairman succeeded
Rep. Hugh D. Scott, Jr., of Penn
■ sylvania, picked at last year’s Re
! publican convention by Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, of New York.
Thus, a Taft supporter in Gabriel
| son took over from a Dewey back
j er who in turn had replaced a
Taft advocate, former chairman
J Carroll Reece of Tennessee.
| Taft himself took no apparent
part in the national committee1
| contest.

Mike Clipper May
Gel Pay For Boat
Sunk During War
WASHINGTON, (/P), The House
has passed and sent to the Senate
legislation to pay Mike Clipper of
King Cove, Alaska, $3,700 for loss
of his boat Dora in a storm at Cold
Harbor, Alaska in 1942.
Clipper was employed by the
army transportation service and
during a storm was ordered to
leave his boat and board an army
tender to make it more secure.
Another army vessel seeking
refuge from the storm took the
Dora in tow and started across
the bay to shelter. The Dora broke
loose and was blown on a sand
bar. ,
The House judiciary committee
said the logical conclusion was
that the tow line was cut when it
became entangled with the pro
pellor of the army craft.

Nonrin Lewis, clerk of the U. S.
District Court returned Wednes
day from Unalakleet where he
spent a few days on business. He
states that the gardens on which
the community depends for part
of its existence are a month to six
weeks behind schedule and unless
the weather improves they will
have no crop at all. Cabbages and
cauliflower and potatoes which
should be ready for consumption
are only half their full size.
