Z COTTON BILLS
 ARE INTRODUCED
Measures Deal With Prep. arati0n And Distribu-
 tion Of Statistics

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Two measures dealing with the preparation and distribution of cotton statistics were introduced in the House today. Under a bill presented by Representa- tive Aswell, Louisiana, ranking demo- crat on the House agricultural commit tee, all raw cotton statistical work would be transferred from the depart of agriculture.
 A census to determine the amount and grades of cotton op hand in mills and warehouses would be authorized un- der resolution introduced by Repre- sentative Byrnes, democrat, South Caro- lima. The director of the census bureau also would be directed to estimate the number of bales on farms.
 Mir. Byrnes said it would not be diff ficult to quickly gather accurate in- formation as to stocks in mills and warehouses. A census should be taken, he declared, to clean up misapprehen- sion in the cotton trade as to stocks now on hand.
 "Whether intentional or otherwise" 1" MT. Aswell said in discussing his bill, ''the department of commerce has gravely injured the cotton producer and the cotton holding cooperative organi- zations of the country by muddling the figures on cotton production and es- pecially by the unproven and unfounded reports of a carry-over of more than 500, 900 bales. After causing a dis astrous break in cotton prices by this report, the department yielded to the outraged cotton producers and investi- gated its own figures. The result was that it was unable to balance its own figures and unable to explain it's alleged carry-oyer. By this procedure the de- partment of commerce has established its unrealiability and in future should have no part in reporting statistics on raw cotton. By it's recent performances this department of the government has cost the domestic cotton growers hun dreds of millions of dollars"
