a Nationwide appeal to the dry forces

Many prohibitionists seem cowed by

If all the world should favor intem-
perance, 1t would be but the normal sta

S1OO,0DO,0DO READY
TO REDUCE COTTON
Fund Will Pay for Land to
Be Rented After Crops

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Around sl0O,O0O,0O0 of farm relief
money will pour into the Is cotton
States within the next six weeks.
The money will be distributed under
the plan by which cotton growers agree
to pillow under Is to so per cent of their
present crop and then rent the land
to the Government.
Confident that the plan is going to
succeed, Secretary Wallace today is ex-
tending the time in which growers may
voluntarily agree to reduce production.
That period was to have ended tonight,
but the Secretary found that unex-
pected delays, such as the difficulty of
presenting printed applications to the
1000 900 cotton farmers, necessitated an
extension
The Secretary also is going to an
nounce the number of acres of cotton
that farmers have agreed to destroy.
It was reliably reported that a prelim-
mary study of the tabulationS had con-
vinced President Roosevelt the Secre-
tary, and farm act administrators that
there was no doubt about final promul-
cation of the program
The $100.000,000 to be paid to the
farmers will be obtained by tax levied
on professors. This will 60 into effect
about August l and the amount to
around cents a pound.

TREASURY REFUSES
TO AID BANK PROBE
Declines Request of Judge Keiden
to Submit Detroit Docu-
ments.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury has declined to ac-
cede to the request of Judge Harry B.
Keidan that it submit Treasury docu-
ments to him in his investigation Of
the Detroit banking situation.
The judge had asked that Secretary
of the Treasury Woodin. Jesse Jones
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, Ogden L. Mills. former Secre-
tary of the Treasury: Arthur Ballan-
tine, former Undersecretary, and John
K. Mckee and C. A Miller be required
to testify before him.
Acting Secretary AcheSon told Keidan
that Secretary Woodin was i'll and that
other persons named in his order were
not employees of the Treasury and could
not be directed by it to appear.
He declined to submit Treasury docu-
ments to the court because to do sc
would interfere seriously with the proper
performance of Treasury duties.
He told the judge the Treasury was
deeply concerned in helping alleviate
the banking difficulties of Detroit as
we'll as the State of Michigan. but added
that in addition to the Michigan situa-
ton, there were some 1000 national
banks in the hands of conservators and
receivers, and to permit the personnel
of the department to answer summons
to testify would dissipate the personnel
and the activities of tile Treasury.
The acting Secretary added that the
Department of Justice was making
thorough investigation of the Detroit
banking situation, and at the proper
time would make full report of it to
the grand jury if that was warranted.

Mattern Thought to Have Landed Just
Across Bering Sea.

SEATTLE, July 8 (P).-Possibilty that
Jimmie Mattern may have come down
at Cape ChukotSki. just across Berlng
Sea from Nome, Alaska. was seen here
today in the roundthe-world flyers
message reporting his safety.
Mattern'S message. Sale, Anaoyr,
Chukotka. Siberia" came via MOSCOW,
but whether it came from land sta
ton at the trading post OF Anadyr, AT
the mouth of the river OK that name
or from some Soviet vessel. was not IN
dicated.
Persons familiar with the country
said that the ice pack usually recedes
suttciently to permit the first vessel OF
the season to enter the Gulf OF Anaoyr
right after the Fourth Of July.
While the village Of Anadyr. whlcu
has a white population OF 40 or oO peo-
ME in addition to natives. Is on tne
course chartered by Mattern for MS
flight from Khabarvosk, Siberia, 10
Nome. Cape Chukotski on the northern
shore of the Gulf of Anadyr, Is almost
directly in line. =
A powerful Soviet wireless station Is
believed to be in operation at the set
tlement Of Anadyr and had Mattern
landed his plane near there June "a
the day he took off from KhabaroVsk
observers here believed he would nave
been reported before this.
If. on the other hand he came down
at Cape Chukotski. or Chukotka, as II
is spelled In Mattern's message, ne
would have had to wait until steamer
With wireless came along or until he
could make his way, to Anadyr.
Three or four Soviet steamers year
visit this remote region with supplies for
the trading post. Occasionally Rus-
sian icebreaker cruises along the coast
Heavy fogs and unbroken clouds along
the Alaskan coast the day Mattern left
Khabarovsk may have prevented him
from crossing Bering Strait. He may
have landed on some sandy beach on
the Siberian side out Of fael or may
have damaged his plane and been un-
able to get off again.
Meanwhile Alaska wireless stations
tried to get into communication with
stations in Siberia to obtain details oi
Mattern's plight. No regular sched-
ules are maintained with the stations
but the American and Russian stations
often communicate informally.

could be heard in the dormitories where
the other prison inmates grinned in
amusement
Then as the "incorrigibles"/ tired of
their sport, the noise died down to An
occasional toot Of wind instrument
or a boom Of the drum.
When the authorities were ready to
move the prisoners the noise had
| ceased, but it was not until the last
! man had been taken from the barrack
that the act was discovered.
Floor Smeared With Oil.
Pieces of the instruments were scat
tered about the floor at one end of
the building. What the convicts could
not smash they took apart and filled
with oil and glue. They also smeared
the floor and walls with Oil.
The prisoners were taken out in
groups of 25 to be marched to their new
quarters and as they emerged, faced
with a wall Of policemen, there was no
hint of the wild spirit of defiance which
caused them to destroy the instruments
and later manifested itself in curses,
shouts and invectives from their cells.
Flanked on either side by policemen
armed with rifles, tear gas. guns and
clubs. the incorrigibles marched meekly
to solitary confinement. Arriving in
front Of the building, one of the new
group around which wall will be built,
they were sent in, one at time. 1t
was learned later that each mans outer
clothes were stripped from him before
he was locked in a cell.
When the entire 108 was behind bars,
the catcalls, jeers and cursing, which
continued at intervals throughout the
evening, began.
Every time the telephone in the
building would ring, the prisoners would
begin to yell so as to prevent the guard
answering it from hearing what was
being said. The guards and policemen.
standing ready with guns and tear gas,
were powerless to control them and
made little effort to do SO.

been forced down 49.7 miles from
Anadir, Siberia, by engine trouble after

Soviet frontier guards.
He will be supplied with new motor
and will continue the d-the-world
flight he started from New York on

The report about the engine was
taken to indicate that the engine was
so badly damaged that it was impos-
sible to make repairs with the limited
facilities available at Anadir
Undoubtedly the Soviet government
dispatched expert assistance to the flyer
by airplane, but detailed steps to res
cue Mattern SO far have not been dis
closed.
The Tass dispatch did not give the
date on which the American landed
nor was it explained how such a long

for Industry's Rule.
BY PAUL MALLON.

LII is not what it seems in the

II A touchy underlying situa-
1 \ ton is being concealed behind
the fine ballyhoo of the Gov
ernment publicity agents.
The truth is that a few industries
seem to be running out on the pro-
gram. They are finding various lame
excuses for not stepping up to the
counter with minimum wage proposals
and codes.
The situation became so threat
eninq Seueral days ago Commerce
Secretary Roper 1Ganted to take
strong action. He advocated in the
confidential inner councils that the
President proclaim his O,un code tor
all industries. That 1rould stir them
into action.
The men at the top thought Roper's
plan was too strong. They have been
working for days on more moderate
way of prodding the laggards.
The reason for this backStage situa-
ton Is not hard to find.

loadings are holding up. Their latest
figures show the Western roads came
up from deficit to fair earnings dur

holding off on new equipment until they
see how long this lasts.
The short wheat crop will cut down
their loading prospects.
