American Legion at its annual
convention, against “grave risks”
of increasing the federal expen

world economic crisis is “second
only to war.” He expressed con
fidence that “by united action we
* will lead the world in its re
covery.”
The president pointed out that
the treasury faced another large
deficit owing to the fact that in

cent since the period of prosperi
ty and also that the nation is
at the same time carrying a “high
necessary, extra burden” in giv
ing aid to public works, aid un
employment and agriculture, and
to give increased benefits to vet

GERMS PUNT DISEASES
< DISCOVERED III UPPER AIR
Scouting trips with airplanes
show that spores of certain plant
diseases are often found at heights
of 10,000 feet in the upper air.
This is one explanation for the
spread of such diseases as black
stem rust or small grain, say spe
cialists of the Department of Ag
riculture.
Investigators working with white I
pine blister rust have found that
spores of that disease falling in
a perfectly still atmosphere from
a height of one mile require 55
hours to reach the earth. Such
experiments make it clear that
plant disease spores may be blown
for long distances unless brought
down by rain or some other ag
ency, the- Department of Agri
culture announces.
Setting the record for a single j
salmon cargo from Alaska to Seat- !
tie, the SS General W. C. Gorgas of i
Libby McNeill & Libby, landed J
140,000 cases valued at $910,000.
