Plans to Help UnderWrite
South'S Output Starting
on April |.
By United Press

d y CNtCCU fScSS
CHICAGO, March 31.-William
Wrigley Jr. will start Wednesday
exchanging his chewing gum in
twelve southern states for cotton,
under a plan which contemplates
the purchase, between April and
Dec. 1, of approximately 00,000000
pounds of cotton at an estimated
total expenditure Of $12,O00,0O0.
Wrigley's cotton investment fund,
will use all money it receives for
Wrigley's gum in Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Virginia, North and South
Carolina to buy cotton
Wholesalers handling Wrigley &C.
counts will deposit their remittances
in one of five banks which will
purchase the cotton.
Cotton will be bought at a price OF
II cents a pound or less. If cotton
rises above - cents purchases will
cease until the prices again fall be-
low II cents.
Wrigleys prospective purchases
should absorb 4 per cent of the Wis
ible supply of cotton, it was figured.
The chewing gum millionaire ex-
pressed the hope that twenty-five
or thirty other manufacturers, hav-
ing sales of equal magnitude in the
south, will enter into similar plans
and thus underwrite the South's en-
tire output of cotton.

LYONS, AT 80, HAS BEEN
PLACES AND SEEN THINGS

Born in New York City, Lyons
entered newspaper work as early as
possible. His first job was on The
Dispatch at Erie, Pa. Then followed
jobs in Massachusetts and New
York and later Paris.
1t was while working in Paris
three years ago that he received the
Moscow assignment for the United
Press. Soon his news stories came
through to the American papers
taking this worldwide wire service
and facts about Russia replaced
many fancies originating from Riga
and Helingsford.
Climax Of these stories came with
the great international scoop
the Stain interview.
Lyons just has completed a series
on Russia, which appeared in The
Times and newspapers throughout
the world, and are considered out
standingly authoritative.
He is a modest person and his
proves at news gathering is just
doing his job well, and that is all.
Russian censorship seldom has
handicapped him, and he declares
that the world can know anything
about Russia if sufficiently inter-
ested.

Persons who plead, 81 wish I we're
a newspaper man, the work must
be so fascinating can find con-
crete support for this fancy in the
person of Eugene Lyons, Moscow
correspondent of the United Press,
who is in Indianapolis today under
auspices of The Times.
For at 30 Lyons has been places
and seen things"
Only few months ago he made
Journalistic history by being the
first correspondent writing for the
English language press to interview
Stain, the monk-like dictator Of
the United Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies.
Stain, the great Georgian, by be-
ing head Of the Communist party in
Russia, has autocratic power over
100000 souls.
When Lyons met Stain, two men
met who believe in the dignity OF
labor and the decency and right to
respect for the common man.
For Lyons long has been known as
a liberal, through his writings for
such journals of opinion as the Ma
ton, the New Republic and the
Freeman.
