War Bootleggers Given Warning by Washington m --- - - - - Washington, Oct. 4. ? PttoiiUtiL Franklin D. Roosevelt today Wtoned American vessels against bootlegging supplies and fuel to belligerent ahipe plying near United States territorial waters. At the same time, he indicated that requirements of the new "safety tone" around the Western Hemis phere probably would necessitate the adding of more ships to the United States neutrality patrol. His caution against supplying bel ligerent vessels was in responae to a press conference question regarding Philadelphia reports that rum-run ners of the prohibition era were be ing pressed into use to service ves sels of warring nations. He said he had heard of no such incidents, but that any American en gaged in those activities had better stop immediately. Mr. Roosevelt's reference to the neutrality patrol came amid indica tions that the United States Nary would have to assume leadership in carrying out the mandate of the Pan-American declaration for the cre ation of a "safety-zone" designed to keep European naval and air warfare out of American waters. He said that while he had received no report from the Navy Department, he believed that in addition to the forty recommissioned destroyers scheduled to be placed in the patrol a few more vessels might be neces sary in the future. Naval experts are in general, though unofficial agreement that pa trolling of the safety zone will de volve largely on the United States fleet, which more than dwarfs the combined sea forces of the Latin American republics. Although considerable secrecy has veiled operation of the present Uni ted States patrol, there are more than, 90 warships in the squadron which soon will be augmented by the re cmmissioned destroyers. In addition, many Coast Guard vessels are said to be included. The new zone, established unani mously by the 21 American republics at the Inter-American consultation in Panama City Wednesday, defies an area extending from 300 to 600 miles, in some instances, from North and Sooth American shores.

"An enormous city crumbles be fore their onslaught; airplanes and dirigibles sent oat to combat them shrivel and fall in flames.

Poultry Susceptible To Colds ul October - I T '."I Chickens, just like many humans, are susceptible to colds at this time of the year,- akys C. F. Parrish, Ex tension poultryman of State College. The change of quarters, poor ventila tion, crowding, dampness, parasitic infection, and uftder-notrrishment are the chief causes of colds _in-potiI?ty flocks, the specialist explained. '"Each bird should have from 3 1-2 to 4 square feet of space in the poultry house," Parrish declared. "The roof should be checked to eliminate leaks. If tile opening in front of the laying house exgrods all the way across fee front, tike opening at each end should bd closed for from two to six or more feet, depending open break the draft through the house."

Last Spring, Rear-Admiral Taussig recommended that the Fleet scouting force be divided between Ha waii and tile Atlantic. The Admiral proposed that a force ef nine heavy cruisers, half of the Reefs submarines, a squadron of destroyers and one aircraft carrier take position at Hawaii and that a like force be based in the Atlantic! Pearl Harbor, base for the Fleet id Hawaii is safeguarded by the Army's largest single garrison, a force of 23, 000 troops aiid has fbrtrHcations that are rivaled only by those at the Pana ma Canal. Naval forces at Manila, in the . Philippine Islands, have been streng thened recently by the dispatch of fiftebn longlrange patrol planes and the arrival of the aircraft tender Langfey. The ships were sent to en force American neutrality in the Far j Eastern islands. Meanwhile, the United States Fleet last Week went to sea for seeret manoeuvres. Ten battleships, three aircraft carriers, ten heavy cruisers, eleven light cduisers, forty-three des troyers, eleven submarines and thir teen auxiliaries, together with 400 odd fighting planes, are participating | in the exercises. Less than a year ago, the Army was able to muster only twenty-four mobile three-inch guns for defense against air raids east of the Rockies. It is now announced that 300 new anti-aircraft guns hove been complet ed under an appropriation of $23, 686,000 provided by Congress and are now in service or in reserve. Be sides the rapid fire three-inch weap ons, the War Department has started large scale production of a 37-mili meter anti-aircraft gun and is using funds to secure quantities of heavy machine guns, searchlights, listening apparatus and other technical equip ment necessary in providing adequate aircraft defense for American cities and strategic centers. While the War Department will J not disclose the number of observ-| ation, pursuit, training and bombing! planes included in contracts, it is known that the national air defenses! are being rapidly expanded and it is! now said that the $300,000,000 pro-! gram of the Army Air Corps may! be attained six months ahead of schedule. Factories engaged in turn-1 ing out the war planes headed are! reported to be operating on double! shifts and while the original goal! 'for completion of the 3,000 new plane program was set for June 80, 1941,] the present outlook is that this goal I will be readied late next year. The Air Corps is working on ml $300,000,000 expansion program and! is recruiting more than 26^000 addit-1 ional mechanics and other specialists. I Sin addition, a program of pilot train- J ing is underway,. so that the men I will be available to operate the M001 planes which Congress has authoriz- f od. The National Guard will be in- j: creased to an enlisted strength of! '235,000. As our readers probably j know, the National Guard is dtetribu-j ?ted among the States according te| population. The largest increase nat-T Surally goes to the State of New York, (4,426 men. The National Guard plans an important part in the plans of| the War Department in the event of I fWUe .

LIVESTOCK DEMAND UP Improvement is expected in domes tic consumer demand for meats and in foreign demand tor United States porit and fettf in the next few months. Domestic improvement will result from increased buying power, reflecting increased industrial pro duction and payrolls, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Some increase in exports of hog pro ducts is probable in view of the ef fects of the war upon European sup plies. A fairly large seasonal Increase in hog marketings is in prospect for the next few iponths. Supplies of. hogs for the coming marketing year, which begins October 1, will be much larger than in the present markting year. Slaughter supplies of grain-fed cattle probably will continue larger than a year earlier during the re I..V ;j. i. ; i ? i mainder "of 1989 and in early 1940, ] Totd^cettie^B^^, however^jnay ? and heifers and grass b^ers.

The total supply of feed grains and hay per animal! in the 1989-40 season will be con-j - Biderably above the average for the years before the 1984 drought As a reflection of the large feed supplies, a strong demand for feeder cattle and feeder l&mbc has developed fn the Corn Belt Shipments of both feeder cattle and feeder lambs into several Corn Belt States in July and August were much larger than in July and August last yen1. Current; prices of feeder cattle and feeder lambs are very high in relation to prices of slaughtered lambs and slaughtered cattle. Prices of all livestock advanced sharply in early September following; the outbreak of the war in Europe. ' The greatest advance was in hog prises, but prices of cattle and lambs also mads spectacular gains. By the second week of September, prices of slaughter livestock had declined. Most of the rise of the preceding week in the prices of slaughter lambs was lost Prices of feeder aattte and feeder lambs, however, continued to advance daring the second week in September. FEED GRAIN AMPLE Recent advances in feed grain prices largerly reflected speculative anticipation of foreign purchases of livestock products and grains, due to the war, expanded domestic industrial activity, and a rising general price level, the Bureau of Agricultural Ec onomics says in summarising the current feed situation.
