U.S.TO CONTROL
COTTON CROP
FOR YEARS.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
Sept. % 0.N.SO.-Government
control of cotton, wheat and hog
production must be extended in,
definitely and might have to be
applied to other commodities,
Charles j. Brand, co-administra-
tor Of the Agricultural Adjust
rnent Act, today told the Inter
mountain Economic Conference.
Citing huge over-production Of
cotton, which this year would
have resulted in the third largest
crop on record if the Government
had not intervened, Brand said,
"It will take several years at the
very least to adjust our cotton pro-
duction to the probable demand" )"
Situation Is Critical
Despite all Government efforts,
and marked results, Brand de-
clared "the situation in the cot
ton belt remains critical"
The present Government cur
tailment campaign has "blazed
the trail for more extensive ef-
forts in the future
He said the wheat situation Is
different, and it may be necessary
to go much further with the
wheat adjustment program. Acre
age reduction contracts already
have been extended to cover the
1885 crop.
Corn Program Due
Brand said a corn production
program also is under considera-
ton.
The Governments efforts, If
successful in the case of cotton,
would result in benefits which
would be measured "in billions"
Extension of control efforts to
tobacco, dairy products and other
agriculture were intimated. All
these efforts, Brand admitted,
will raise the cost of living. He
said:
"The Government expects, by
raising farm prices, to add
something to the city dweller's
cost of living, but it expects at
the same time to increase his
ability to meet that cost. 1t
plans to increase purchasing
power as we'll as costs"

they make q guess as to what
Is the matter with them.
Even though they may guess
right, there is only q small
chance that they get q medi-
cine that will be Of any bene'
fit. In fact, il Is highly prOba-
BILE that a medicine so selected
will contain something harmful
or even dangerous for the case
in question. Many instances
are recorded in medical litera-
ture Of persons suffering from
headache, for example, who
have been poisoned by some
one of the many headache
remedies Obtainable at the drug
store.
"WhiIe we can not say that
no medicine should be taken
without the advice Of q doctor,
there is no question that all
medicines of a highly toxic na-
ture should be used only upon
a doctors orders, and should
be used only when obtained d.
rectly from a reputable phar-
maciSt,"

EMPLOYEES BACK
RENT INQUIRY

William S. Kinney, in an
address calling upon Federal en-
ployes to support the Public
Utilities Commission in its rent
inquiry, last night told members
of the District Federation Of
Federal Employees that recent
statements that rents here are
about to go up have been in
spired by large property owners
and are not warranted by the
facts.
He said there was general
agreement that rents here have
been reduced only a nominal
amount during the past two
years, and that increases at this
time are not warranted.
The Federation adopted a
resolution commencing the Public
Utilities Commission as the
agency for rent Investigations
and approving the start of its
inquiry. The resolution also eX-
pressed the opposition of the
Federation to any rent increases.
John Ginder, president of the
Federation, urged reorganization
of the organization for better
service, and announced that Off
GERS will meet September % for
that purpose.
Ulrey J. Biller, seventh ma
tional vice president, told of the
work of the Kansas City con-
vention. New officers for the
District federation will be elected
at the October meeting.

LEE TRACY IN SOLDIER ROLE

In private Jones" at the Vashon
Theatre this Saturday and Sunday,
Lee Tracy has one Of the best roles
he has yet attempted. He is cast as q
fast-talking, wise-cracking rebellious
soldier, whose unruly disposition gets
him into one difficult position after
another. Some Of the situations are
alarming, some embarrassing, and
nearly all are mirth- provoking. Those
who saw Lee Tracy in washington

INGOT PRODUCTION
CONTINUES TO DROP

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 3O-The ma
tional average of steel ingot output has
declined to A per cent of capacity from
so per cent week ago, Iron Age" said
today
Both steel releases and mill opera
tions." said the review, have under
gone a further decline and there is
nothing to suggest an early change in
trend outside of contra-seasonal up
turn in automobile production.
Part of the decline in production is
attributable to prior purchases for
stocking purposes, prompted by the up
ward trend of prices; much Of it has
been due to uncertainties growing out
of nation wide readjustment to the
N. R. A. program. But for the time being
steel producers are themselves so en-
by codification that the course Of de-
mand and output is commanding COM
paratively little attention.
The filing of prices under the steel
code has overshadowed other considera-
tions in the last week. With Tuesday
the deadline, there was final rush OF
price schedules. While it will take
several days for the American Iron and
Steel Institute to tabulate the prices
filed. information at hand indicates that
there have been relatively few changes
in steel prices, although there have been
rather wide advances in pig iron"
The Iron Age" composite price for
the latter has risen from $l5.94 to SSH
a gross ton Composites for finished
steel and scrap are unchanged at 1879
cents pound and sl2 gross ton,
respectively.

banking quarters expected today that
the various Federal Reserve banks
throughout the country would soon be
designated as agents Of the Treasury
to handle the marketing Of gold by
American mines in accordance with
President Roosevelt's executive order.
The local Reserve bank has not yet
received any formal instructions on the
matter, but they were expected momen-
tarily. Pending this development the
bank will make no preparatory moves.

Judgment yesterday when there was a
last-minute scramble for gold stocks.
Overnight study of the ruling revealed
that 1t did not establish a free gold
market, as many traders first thought,
and gold issues sold off. This appar-
emily had disheartening effect on the
rest of the market, for prices generally
were lower.
The financial community was in
clined to pay scant attention to the
suggestion heard in some quarters that
the gold ruling was a gesture of infla-
ton on the part Of the administration.
Under the edict, Of course, gold becomes

purchased abroad the natural tendency
of the dollar would be to advance, it
