and place it on sounder footing, a
tobacco cartel will be formed in Ger
many embracing the largest tobacco
professors in the country.
With the founding of the cartel, ex-
periments with German grown tobacco
will be pushed in view of the favorable
reports coming from the research sta
ton at Forchheim in Baden where eX-
periments have shown that German
climatic conditions could produce GER
tain types of Eastern tobaccos for blend
ing purposes.
Under the projected cartel's terms
Hamburg and Dresden would be picked
for huge tobacco. processing plants from
which the major German tobacco firms
would agree to buy one-fourth of their
needs. Through grouping this purchas-
ing power in two plants the foreign
purchases might be used to swing addi-
tional markets in Greece. Turkey and
Bulgaria for German exports.
With the major tobacco factories un-
der the cartel agreement, small dealers
would be protected from the undersell-
ing competitors. the cartel refusing to

.NRA APPROVES
PLAN TO TAKE
INVENTORIES
Maximum Hours Under Re-
employment Agreement
Modified for This

Modification of the maximum
hours provisions of the presi-
dents unemployment agreement
to permit necessary overtime work
in connection with year-end in
ventorieS has been approved by
National Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson. according to a
bulletin received here by A. '.
Edwards, chairman of the NRA
compliance board.
The modification will permit
EMPLOYERS operating under the
agreement to work employees such
time as may be necessary to COM
plete inventories, provided the
employees are paid time and one
half for the overtime hours.
General Johnson acted on the
recommendation of the national
compliance board which pointed
out that provisions for inventory
periods found in most permanent
codes were not included in the
original presidents unemployment
agreement. Unless an exception
was made, the board declared,
many employers would be sub
iected to unnecessary inconven-
fence.
The exception, in part, reads
as follows:
"For the purpose Of taking a
calendar year-end inventory, any
employer subject to the presl-
dents unemployment agreement
may employ any employe during
two consecutive weeks after the
date hereof. any number of hours
necessary to complete such inven-
tory, provided each employe so
