mill owners refusals to abide by

COTTON PRICES
Experts Endorse Plan Of
Increased Loans to
Farmers

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. (UP)
Experts of the agricultural adj
justment administration have in
dorsed a plan for pegging the
price of cotton at 13 cents a
pound through increased govern
ment loans.
They refused, however, to say
that the proposal-made by Sen
ator John H. Bankhead to PreSi-
dent Roosevelt-would be official
ly adopted.
The government advanced cot
ton growers 10 cents pound on
about 100000 bales last year.
The growers profited about SIS II
bale on that and have paid back
about half of the $125,000,000
that was lent to them.
If Bankhead's plan is approved,
loans probably would be restrict
ed to growers participating in the
AAA production control program.
Oscar Johnston, manager Of the
AAA cotton pool, said the new
loans should be around 1873 cents
a pound-slightly less than Bank
head suggested. The chief advan-
tages of the plan, Johnston said,
were that farmers could carry
their crops through a period Of
market pressure and be able to
hold cotton until the demand for
it rose.

N. c. MINISTER
KIDNAPPED, HIS
Wife ASSERTS
Sheriff Says He "Knows
Plenty" and Will
Reveal All

GOLDSBORO, N. c., Aug. II.
| CUP).-Ransom Of $4,000 has
been demanded for the safe re-
turn of the Rev. R. H. Askew,
local Four-Square church pastor,
his wife reported to authorities
last night.
Askew has been missing since
last Tuesday night, when he left
for Smthfield to buy brick for a
new church. ,
Mrs. Askew said she received
a typewriter note, as follows:
Get $4,000 at once or never
see your husband again. Instruc-
tons will follow. Have it ready
Saturday" ,
Beyond admitting she received
the note, Mrs. Askew declined to
discuss the case.
Sheriff Hall Garrison, who I'M
mediately called department of
justice agents into the case, said
he "knew plenty" about Askew's
disappearance.
81 will issue statement to-
day which will explain the whole
matter" the sheriff said.
Sheriff Garrison said the note
received by Mrs. Askew was UNI
signed and was typed on plain
stationery. The envelope bore a
local postmark dated $3.50 D. m.
Tuesday and was received the
following morning.
Garrison said Askew was not
wealthy but his wife owned con-
siderable property in the western
part of the state.
Askew came here last October
as pastor of the Gree Wilr' Bap-
fist church. After a fractional
quarrel between members Of the
congregation he was removed
from the Baptist church pasto-
rate. He then undertook the
building of his own church OF
the Four-Square faith.
Two department of justice
agents came here from Charlotte
in response to Garrison's sum-

RETURNS HOME
UNFRAMED But
BADLY SHAKEN
Statements Conflict as to
Whether Ransom
Was Paid
SAY POLICE ANGRY
AT SECRECY PLEDGE

LONDON, Ontario, Aug. H.
(UP)-J. S. LaBatt, wealthy On
tario brewer, who was kidnapped
on Tuesday and for whom a $780,
600 ransom demand was made by
his abductors, was returned safe
ly to his home before dawn today
and by sunrise Canadian police
were in full strength drive to
seize the abductors.
Conflicting statements were be-
ing heard as to whether the $780,
600 ransom had been paid
One authority declared that La
Bait was safe and uninjured, but
not in very good health.
Officials anticipate a break in
the hunt for the kidnapers this
afternoon but were keeping quiet,
other than this statement.
Police are repeatedly indignant
concerning promises allegedly
made by members Of the LaBatt
family to the kidnapers, with re-
gard to secrecy in the kidnapping
and today were prepared to de-
mand that these promises be dis
regarded in order that police may
have information which might lead
to apprehension of the kidnapcrs.
LaBatt appeared first at the
Royal York hotel at Toronto. He
was in dishevelled condition and
needed a shave. He was wrapped
in bath robe, and his face was
pale and drawn.
Temporarily he was placed in
the care of physician at the
home of his brother, Hugh la
Bait, before returning to his own
home.

WATSON GAINING

FOR LEADERSHIP
HooSier Aided by With

BIZ Times Special

d iWtes CpeCfQt
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Al-
though former Senator James E.
Watson's boom to succeed Everett
Sanders as chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, is not be-
ing taken too seriously here, it was
given some impetus today by official
withdrawal of Frank Knox, Chicago
publisher.
Dispatches from Rome quote
Colonel Knox as stating:
Under no circumstances will
accept the championship, even if it
is offered to me-"
This gives Watson strength on
sectional grounds, it was commended.
He has been advocated as an old
guard leader, who can get progress
sive support. The committee is to de-
eide the matter at Chicago, June s..
Suggestion of a stop-gap solution,
to be made by putting in Vice
Chairman Ralph E. Williams of
Oregon as actual chairman, until
the congressional races are over and
the party decides upon program,
has been made here by Senator
Charles L. McNary of Oregon.
He has been a new deal supporter,
but rates only semi-progressive,
with G. o. P. aspirations of his own,
probably including the presidency.
However, he is power in the minor
ity group at the present time.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. has offered
some suggestions about selection of
the new chairman, but is said to
WELD no power. The New York
committeeman, Charles D. Hilles,
is rated as very much opposed to
Watson.

LONDON, May PA prophetic
nightmare in which fleets of air
planes, droning through moonless
nights at great attitudes above
sleeping cities to drop one and two
ton bombs on women and children,
brought Europe to the starting line
of an aerial ornaments race today.
1t was generally agreed that gen.
eral disarmament has become mere
ly a hope for the future-possibly
after another world war. A naval
ornaments race, limited only tech
nically by the expiring naval treaties
of Washington and London, has be-
gun in fact.
The surge of national spirit in
Nazi Germany started the chain Of
events. The final links were forged
this week in London and Paris.
France, always watchful of Ger
many. disclosed publicly that Brit
ish airplane companies were supply
ing airplane engines, and palnning
to supply complete airplanes of
bombing size, to Germany.
A protest to the British govern
ment brought a curt refusal to end
the traffic, on the ground that the
airplanes and engines were for civil
use.
Military experts disclosed that
Germany could achieve parity in
aerial ornaments not only with
Great Britain, but with France
within two years at the present rate
and within one year in an emer-
gency. 1t was disclosed that United
States manufacturers also were sup
plying planes to the Nazi govern
ment.
