WASHINGTON, May 2. (UP).
George Nelson Peek of Moline,
ILL.,, last night was mentioned
most prominently as administra-
tor of the farm relief bill as that
measure neared final enactment.
He is a former farm implement
manufacturer and the author Of
books, articles and pamphlets on
agricultural subjects.
WASHINGTON. May 2. (UP).
The union yesterday called upon
its states for help in adminlstra-
ton of one of the vastest social
experiments in history-the farm
relief bill expected to be enacted
in a few days.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace urged all governors to set up
advisory commissions which would
cooperate with Washington in su-
pervising production control so
that massive SURPRISES may be
thinned and the obedient farmer
receive the benefits promised him
for reducing his crops.
While control regulations and
police powers would rest with the
agriculture department, officials
explained, states aid is necessary
for proper application. The pro-
posal also is in line with Wallace's
policy of using existing machinery
in administration as much as pos
sible. He wishes to avoid unwield-
ly personnel and additional bu-
reaus or special services.

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN MOP
up In IOWA'S COMMANDS
Over 60 Farmers Arrested
Likely to Face Charge
Of Syndicalism

LIE MARS. Ia, May 2.-(UP).
National guardsmen "mopped up"
the corn lands last night under
martial law orders of Governor
Clyde l.. Herring and General
Matthew A. FINLEY to bring in
every farmer involved last Thurs
day in an attack upon Judge
Charles G. Bradley.
The soldiers extended their rule
yesterday to near O'Brien county.
Plymouth county, in which lie
Mars is located, has been under
martial law since last Friday, and
Crawford county since Saturday.
Comparative calm returned to
the region, and with no further
disorders threatening, the soldiers
deployed over the countryside,
making almost farm to farm
canvass in search of fugitives.
More than 60 farmers were ar
rested. They were taken to jail
in Sioux City while authorities
debated whether to try them IN
civil or army courts.
Governor Herring said he "Saw
no reason" for resembling Sun
days announcement of probable
court martials, but authorities
believed the men would be tried
in civil courts on charges OF
criminal syndicalism."
The soldiers worked on that
basis, concentrating their efforts
not only in finding the fugitives,
but in collecting evidence which
could be turned over to civil
grand juries

Cotton Magnates
Turn Favorably
To 3O-Hour Week
Dixie Group Opposing
Federal Measure Changes
Its Attitude
By RALPH l.. SANDERS

United Press Staff Correspondent
ATLANTA, Ga, May 2. (UP).
Time, and 4 south-wide meeting
at Pinehurst over the weekend,
have changed the arbitrary Oppo-
sition of southern cotton manu-
factmers toward the proposed 30
hour week and farm relief bills,
the United Press learned ycster-
day.
A gain Of almost 20 points. in
cotton prices Saturday and Mon
dav contributed to- the change of
attitude, since it is strange but
wcll-known fact that higher cot
ton prices inevitably mean great
er prosperity for mill operators
who pay the higher prices.
This is explained by the fact
that higher prices for raw cotton
provide a larger percentage Of
profit per unit and also because
12- or 15-cent cotton increases
the buying power of the farmer
who is the nations greatest col
lcctiye buyer Of cotton goods.
II. NJ. Forbes. secretary and
manager Of the Cotton Manufac-
tuners Association of Georgia,
said in an interview that a study
Of price trends over Cougar Pc
Rod showed an invariable increase
in mill prosperity on every occa-
sion where high cotton prices con-
tributed to farmers prosperity.
Another factor in the changed
attitude of the cotton mill opera
tors, who at first bitterly opposed
the labor bills, was the tendency
noted in Washington to write the
bills on a basis of providing au-
thority for administration to cab
met members rather than to pass
arbitrary law, regulatin gemploy-

RALEIGH, May 2.-Although
it is still possible for the general
assembly to adjourn by Saturday
of this week, it is not at all prob.
able. The result is that most OF
the members, after taking into
consideration the number of i'm
portant bills still to be acted on
in addition to the revenue bill,
believe there is little chance for
adjournment until the middle of
next week at the earliest. but
more likely the end of the week.
If the revenue bill was the only
bill of Importance to be acted
upon. and if the house should
agree to this bill exactly as it
comes from the. senate and not
make any changes in it, it could
be passed by Friday. The revenue
bill passed it's second reading lii
the senate last night, and will pass
third reading there today, If the
gentleman's agreement holds and
no new amendments are added.
This means that the bill cannot
come up for first reading there
until a day after it has passed
third reading in the senate:
Provided the revenue bill IS not
sent to conference and no mate
rial changes are made in 1t, the
house could pass it on second
reading Thursday and on third
reading Friday, so that it could
be enrolled and ratified by Sat
urday. But indications today are
that the house is by no means as
sure to pass it as it comes from

ton and assisted by other organ

by Kemp D. Battle Of Rocky
Mount, president of the North
Carolina Bar Association, in a
letter TO Louis n. Wade, secrc-
tary of the civic association.
One of the best methods to rid
the state Of loan sharks. Mr. Bat
tie believe, is to secure the en-
actment OF legislation governing
the making Of small loans and
to permit these loan companies
to charge an interest rate of
about 3 1-2 per cent a month.
The Equalization of this rate of
interest and strict regulation of
the companies doing this kind of
loan business will do more to put
! the loan sharks out Of business
than anything else, Mr.. Battle
I declares. although he agrees that
the legalization Of an interest
tate this high will bring about
much antagonism.

drastic raise in interest rate:

more changes than have been re-

There were more new faces on
the screen than in any previous
year. More actors and actresses
climbed to stardom. Five distinc-
tive types of films started their
inevitable cycles.

The most surprising climb OF
the year was registered by RKO
