Robert B. Mantell, Jr., son of the
late stage actor of Shakespearean
fame, shot himself to death today
at the apartment where he resided
with his mother, Genevieve Ham
per, stage actress, according to
police.
The wound was self-inflicted, po-
lice said Young Mantell was q
year old.
Police were told the boy was bit
terly disappointed at failing to
realize his ambitions to achieve
success on the stage, as his noted
father had before him.
The shooting occurred after he
and his mother had returned from
rehearsals at a downtown theater
where Miss Hamper was to open
"The Merchant of Venice tomor-
row in the role of Portia.
Young Mantell asked his mother
how she was feeling. Reassured,
he repaired to his bedroom with
the statement he was retiring at
once. A few moments later a gum
shot was heard. Miss Hamper
rushed into the room to find him
dead.
Mother and son came here six
months ago from their home in

LOANS To AID
COT TON MEN

Preliminary information received
by the farm advisors office at Ell
Centro indicates that the govern
ment will make loans on the cur
rent cotton crop to enable grow
ers to market their cotton in an
orderly way and not be forced to
sell at low market prices because
they need cash. These will be made
by a Commodity Credit Corpora
ton organized under authority of
the President IS emergency fund
provided by the Bankhead amend
meut to the National industrial
Recovery Act. Funds for loans will
be furnished the corporation by
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration.
Secretary Wallace in explaining
the loan said "LoanS will be 10
cents per pound at the warehouse
on cotton chasing low middling or
better as to grade, Z inch or bet
ter as to staple; and 8 cents per
pound on cotton CHASING low mid
ding or better as to grade and
under Z inch as to staple. > These
loans will be available to farmers
who agree to abide by the regula-
tionS and cooperate with the Sec
retary of agriculture in the 1884
cotton acreage reduction program,
providing a reduction of not more
than 20 percent of the average
acreage will be required of any
farmer. Farmers who sign and full
fill contracts to cooperate in the
program will get their benefit pay
ments in addition to the loan. The
government is providing the means
to carry this cotton so that the
men who produced it and who will
cooperate in the production con-
troll program will benefit from any
increase in price that may result
from our efforts to obtain fair-eX-
change prices for farm commodi-
ties" Secretary Wallace said.
The loan will be stepped up at
the rate of As cents per bale for
each month after October. This
will cover carrying charges and in
terest. The interest rate to farm
ers will be percent. Loans will be
subject to call at Is cents per

Recently the impression grew thai
President Roosevelt was pulling
away from the experiment of the
brain trust and was shifting en-

story went around that Gen. Hugh
S. johnson and NRA were to be left
to shift for themselves. But the
Presidents action in issuing an eX-
ecutive order which provided fines
and Jail sentences for violators OF
the blue eagle presidential agree
ments has been viewed in Washing
ton as a tip that the White House
is strongly behind the recovery ad-
ministration.
Washington has been SO numbed
by unprecedented experiments that
the magnitude of what is going on
comes to be taken for granted un-
til some little incident recalls con-
trasts in the dead days of the past.
One small item about Admiral
Dewey appeared this week when

Dewey decided to run for President.
