NRA Movement
Getting Results
In This County
Seek To Bring Recalcitrant
Business Men Into Line In
Montgomery County

Although there are few business
men yet to be brought into line, the
NRA movement in Montgomery coun-
ty is being heralded as success. Un-
der the leadership of Col. Stedman
Prescott and his aides local merchants
and business men and women are
working out details promised to bring
about favorable results.
There are several important bust
ness men who have failed as yet to
come into line. 1t has been pointed out
that those who hold out on the NRA
code make it unfair for other similar
competitive businesses. It is expected
that drastic measures will be taken
to bring recalcitrant business men up
to the mark. Housewives and others
are being urged to refuse to do bust
ness with them.
The following NRA leaders have
been named:
Barnesville: F. Leonard Hayes,
Windsor W. Hodges, Captains.
Bethesda, Philip N. Dawson, Ralph
Sabine, Gordon Burrows, Adlai S.
Magee, Samuel R. Robertson, Cap
tains.
Cabin John: Hugh E. White, A. c..
Wilkens, P. 7. Hannen, Captains.
Chevy Chase: James w. Cummings,
Jr., James H. Pugh, Captains.
Colesville: Col. Edgar Connolly,
Captain.
Damascus: Bradley M. Woodfeld,
Harvey W. Moxley, Captains.

Wheat Allotment Plan Here Is
Seen As Successful Movement
Second Series Of Meetings In County Now Under Way
AS Over Three-fourths Of Montgomery Acreage Is
Signed Up-Urge Farmers To Complete Campaign
And Benefit Themselves

will serve with the director as a com.
mittee to secure the signatures o.
farmers who have not by that time
signed up. The director will of course
serve on the County Board. This series
of meetings is also for the purpose Of
receiving applications and clarifying
any misunderstanding prevailing ir
the various communities.
The Board of Directors will hold a
meeting shortly after the completion
of various elections and will assume
the responsibility of carrying out the
Wheat Allotment Campaign over the
two-year contract period. After a
thorough understanding Of the duties
an allotment committee of three will
be appointed to assume the duties OF
making allotments to all wheat grow
ers and carrying out, generally, the
dictates of the Board of Directors.
Those in charge of the program are
taking advantage of every opportunity
to impress farmers with the urgency
of completing this campaign and
thereby clarifying the situation that
we can start on other allotment pro-
grams as they come along.
Of the many programs designed and
proposed to Montgomery County peo-
pie to the benefit of all, none Of them
have failed and this Wheat Allotment
Campaign is just another evidence,
that farmers as we'll as those Of other
business, are keenly alert and willing
to act, realizing that this plan is an
important part Of the Recovery Pro-
gram Of the Nation.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1933-09-07

The Wheat Allotment Program in
itiated about two weeks ago in Mont
gomery County is rapidly drawing to
successful conclusion. The program
was introduced by O. W. Anderson,
County Agricultural Agent, and j. w.
Jones, President of the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau, at a series OF
ten meetings conducted in different
sections of the county where a
thorough explanation of the necessity
for a campaign of this kind, as well
as the application of the plan to the
individual farmers case was made.
For two weeks the County Agents
Office has been receiving applications
ON the part of farmers and has been
the most busy office in Montgomery
County for years. An extra corps OF
assistants have been employed and
are working over time every day. The
Federal Government estimates ap-
proximately 1000 farmers are grow
ing wheat, in this county and of this
number almost one-half have signed
applications but as the signers are
the larger growers, fully three
fourths of the acreage is already
signed up without any expense what
ever to the growers. The office Will
continue to receive applications up to
the last possible minute but beginning
the middle of next week, a second
series of meetings will begin, which
marks another step in the campaign.
At these meetings, director to the
County Wheat Allotment Association
will be elected, as also two men who

While trying to ascertain this. lines were cast off, and the vessel started to move, so he went to the captain and told him that he wanted to work his way to Liver pool, only to be put off at Quebec, even though he had peeled pota. toes and generally made himself useful.

His Proposal Probably Will Be an international Plan A and Not One for America Alone

ned to cross the Equator between the Cape Verde islands and Per- nombuco, Brazil, en route home.
 Thus he will be able to report on four ocean routes-northern, via Greenland and ceiund; regular, the nonstop route he took in 1927, on his New York-Paris flight; south ern, via Lisbon and the Azores; and Equatorial, via St Louis, Sene- gal; the Cape Verde islands and Brazil.
 His study also has embraced European passenger carrying planes safety development, port equipment, government aid and subsidies and possible international collabora- tion.
 It was understood here that Lindbergh favored international ex- ploitation, with American lines CO., operating with British, French, German and other European lines.
 As for the feasibility of a trans Atlantic airplane service, Lindbergh has declined to cimmit himself iE European conversations. Most tech nicians with whom he talked, it was understood, believed it must be several years before an efficient service could be operated.

 Paris, Nov 24-Col Charles A. Lindbergh, as the result of his series of flights around the North Atlantic, was understood today to have viewed with favor interna- tional exploitation of ocean air. plane mail routes between New York and Europe.
 Lindbergh's report of his explora- tion of possible air routes, it was understood, would favor interna- tional cooperation rather. than a purely American transatlantic service.
 The report will be the first com prehensive study of the technical side of ocean flying. He is expected to begin work on it soon after his arrival in the United States.
 In addition to flying around the northedn limits of the Atlantic via Labrador, Greenland and ceiand, Lindbergh has visited every possible Europena terminal from Norway and Russia to Portugal.
 He has flown out to sea to groups of islands all the way down the Atlantic from the subarctic to the subtropics and at last report plau-

HUGE FOUR DAY.

French Expert Envisions Transatlantic Liners of
 Near Future

Paris (UP) Two thousand messengers soon will be able to travel from Havre to New York in four days by transatlantic steamer
 with a miximum of comfort, sarety
 and speed, according to one or
 Frances experts on merchant ma
 rine, who desires to remain anony- nous. .t
 economy, this expert said, 1t IS ad- yantageous construct a liner o.
 big dimensions. Only the giant boats can take care of a great transatlantic traffic, while provid- ing a. maximum of comfort and speed to a great number of pas- sengers.
 ."As soon as the present economic crisis is over, the traffic between Europe and America is bound to
 increase. And very soon the North
 Atlantic service will do more than join Europe and America it will
 be used to connect Europe with the
 eastern coasts of Asia. As a result.
 the Paris Tokio. route will be across the United States, with minimum of time and expense, and without the necessity of passing through the tropics. Consequently, to handle the Amerlcan anu AsidliS eIdhS' liners of enormous power and size will be required in the North Att lantic. I am convinced that a liner,
 transporting 2,00O passengers to
 New York, in four days, with per-
 feet safety, has "a prosperous career
 befort it."
 Liners of this type, he said, sell
 dom will exceed 1000 feet in length (the Normandie now under con- struction at St Nazaire measures 1,O2O feet) which he considers most suitable. It permits the boat. to span the summits of two big waves. As to future ship tonnages, the maritime expert refused to make a guess; the tonnage of the | Normandie is 75,000 tons displace- ment, and the boat accommodates
 2,132 passengers.

the Akron.
Members of the board posed

that they have all the flavor Of

He noted that some of the
relatives of the victims were
present. He said:

occasion"
He said there were to be no

Judge Advocate Pennoyer read
into the record the text of Lieut..
Commander Wiley's report on the
crash of the Akron. It told how
the dirigible departed in a fog
from Lakehurst about 1880 p. m.
last Monday and ran into a
thunderstorm late that night.

The dirigible lost altitude and
with the crew standing by"
crashed into the sea. In his re-
port Wiley said:
$50 far as I know the ship
was not struck by lightning"
The report described how, after
the dirigible crashed into the sea,
Wiley saw the Akron broken in
two or three places. He was
tossed into the sea. After from
half an hour to an hour he was
picked up by the German tanker
ProebuS. He and the other two
survivors were taken to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard.
After the report was ready,
