But if, Defore congress reconvenes, Mr. Roosevelt said, an actual war crisis becomes imminent in Europe or the Far East, he immediately will convene congress. In other words, he said, if it becomes reasonably certain that htere was going to be war he would call a special session to issue neutrality of the United States along the lines of international law so that this country would not become in volved in the conflagration.

Nebraska Corn Yield Estimate 10 Bu. to Acre State-Federal Statistician Anderson Sees Very Large Decrease in State Yield in July. A. E. Anderson, state - federal agricultural statistician, attributed the market reduction in the coin crop forecast from 167,325,000 bushels July 1 to 72,750,000 Aug. 1 to the extremely hot weather dur ing the second week of July. This is an average yield of ten bushels per acre. "Our corn this year," he com mented, "was a little early and the foliage was unusually heavy. Just at the critical time when it should have been shooting ears, we received a few days of extremely high tem peratures. "With the heavy foliage to sup port, much of the corn simply couldn't get moisture enough to keep the plant alive in the face of the heat and at the same time sprout ears. Usually, we don't get our ex tremely hot weather until after the corn has tasseled and eared, but this year the heat came early." Nebraska produced 107,735,000 bushels of corn last year, and the average yield per acre was 14.5 bush els. Average production for the 10 year period from 1928-37 is 159, 176,000 bushels and the average yield 16.7 bushels. If the 72,750.000 bushel forecast as of Aug. 1 follows thru this year, the crop will be the smallest pince the extreme drouth year of 1936, when 26.S59.000 bushels were pro duced. Wheat Estimate Nebraska's 1939 winter wheat crop was estimated at 3 4,432,000 bushels by the U. S. agriculture de partment, based on Aug. 1 condi tions. The figure was the same as a month ago. The average yield was fixed at 11.5 bushels. The same forecast as a month ago also was made for the 1939 Nebras ka's oats crop 19.040.000 bushels with an average yield per acre of 14 bushels. Potato prospects, meanwhile, de clined from 6.020.000. bushels July 1 to 5.590.000 bushels Aug. 1. The average yield a month ago was ex pected to be 70 bushels; on Aug. 1 it was set at 65 bushels. BELITTLE BURKE STATEMENT PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12 (UP) Democratic leaders attending the Young Democrats national conven tion were inclined to belittie the prediction of Senator Edward R. Burke, D., Neb., that President Roosevelt will head a third party ticket in 1940 to oppose a coalition of republicans and democrats. x In his statement issued at Omaha, Senator Burke said the coalition can didate should be someone like Sen ator Robert A. Taft, R., Ohio. While withholding official com ment, several prominent democrats indicated that they believed it was a case or sour grapes on benator Burke's part and his prediction had been anticipated. A leading Nebraska democrat, who did not want his name used, said: "Oh. well I could predict that the end of the world is coming but it wouldn't mean anything. As long as it is not a vital issue I can't see any reason for making a statement." SEE ADEQUATE STOCK SUPPLY LINCOLN, Aug. 12 (UP) Sor ghums, and other late wheat crops promise to provide an adequate food supply for Nebraska livestock despite the drastic slump in corn prospects, the state federal division of agricul ture statistics reported today. Commenting on the slump in the corn forcast from 167,325,000 bushels July 1 to 72,7500,000 August 1, Crop Statistician A. E. Anderson said: "Extremely high temperatures with hot winds coupled with drouth during the second week of July is responsible for the damage. A few of the extreme southeastern counties and those bord ering the Missouri river from Rich ardson to Cedar, inclusive, will pro duce fair to good crops cf corn. FAIRS ATTRACT MOTORISTS SAN FRANCISCO (UP) A cress section survey of the more than 1. 000,000 members of the American Automobile Association revealed that more than three-fourths will visit either the San Francisco or New York world's fair this year, or both.
