BOUNTY
ON COTTON IS
10 MILLIONS
Almost That Much Will Be
Paid in Dixie for Cotton
Never Picked
By WILLIAM A. BELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. (UP).
A cash bounty of 100000 to
$10,000,000 for cotton which
never was picked will 60 to a small
group of Southern and transmits
sissippi states under the Bank
head Control Act on the basis of
Oct. l crop conditions, it was re-
yealed yesterday.
This bonus is a form of crop
insurance, for without it the loss
to growers from drought and
other causes would have been up
ward of $60,O0O,00O.
The agriculture department
rated the cotton crop 65.s per
cent of normal, as of Oct. l. To-
tai production for 1884 was placed
at 9,443,000 bales, the smallest
since 1899, with one exception.
The indicated crop is 1904, 900
bales less than last years and s.
223,000 bales below average an
nual production for the five years,
1928-32.
More important, it is 1,017,251
bales under the legal limit defined
by the Bankhead Act. Cotton
planters now hold, or soon will be
issued certificates, which exempt
from the 5.67 cents a pound Bank
head tax all cotton covered by
federal allotment.
In 10 cotton states, the indicat-
ed production is greater than the
allotment. In six it is less. So the
latter group has more tax exemp-
ton certificates than are needed
and the former has a shortage.
The under producers have sur
plus certificates for 1,507,746
bales, whereas the over producers
lack certificates for only 486,956
bales. Correspondingly, the mar
ket for the certificates, which have
cash value Of 4 cents pound OF
$50 a bale, is limited to 4S8,958
The potential return from the sale
of this amount is estimated al
about $9,739,120.
If the surplus areas had grown
enough more to take care of tn,
certificates that will go begging il
the deficit regions. the total accru
ing to undergraduates would hav.
appropriated $30,154,920, o.
about half the loss attributable t,
weather damage.
Sale of interchange of the Ger
tifcates is conducted through .
governmental pool. The AAA doe
not buy the warrants but collect
them from producers who surren
der them to the pool and pay
growers according to the number
Of bales sold. Surplus certificate
which are not sold-and there vii
be about 1,O20,790 Of these-ar'

.WAtDROP SETS
COP. RALLIES
Hamrick and Hamlin Will
Lead Off in County
wide Campaign

A series of Republican precinct
rallies beginning Thursday night
and continuing through October
.26 was announced today by
Frank H. Waldrop, county chair
man, as the campaign for the Mo-
vember election began to show
signs of activity.
To date, only one political
meeting planned to attract voters
at large has been held, this being
Democratic rally at which
Clyde Hoey was the speaker, and
those who like to see lots of po-
litical fireworks were beginning
to wonder whether the two par
ties were going to let the elec-
ton slip up on them without car
rying the fight out into the pre-
cincts. Chairman Waldrop's an
nouncement today answered the
question insofar as the Republi-
cans are concerned, and now it is
expected the Democrats will
counter with a similar series Of
rallies. In most instances, Re-
publican speakers followed DEM
ocratic spellbfnders in township
and precinct meetings of the
1882 campaign, and some observ-
ers have attributed the inactivity
so far this year to a desire by
Democrats to reverse the order
and permit their orators to have
the "last word"
Chairman Waldrop said that
each of the precinct rallies will
be addressed by a prominent Re-
publican leader. Fred Hamrick,
widely known Rutherfordton law
yer, will lead off at Dana school
Thursday night at a meeting for
voters of the two Blue Ridge
township precincts, and L. P.
Hamlin of Brevard, COP. nomi-
nee for solicitor of the 18th
judicial district, will speak Sat-
urday night, Oct. Is, at Fletcher
school to the voters of Hooper's
Creek township. Other scheduled
meetings, the speakers to be an
nounced later, are: ..,
Monday, Oct. 15.-Green River,
Tuxedo school.
Tuesday, Oct. 16.-Flat Rock,
East Flat Rock school.
Wednesday, Oct. 17.-Balfour,
Balfour school. -,
Friday, Oct. 19.-Edneyville,
Edneyville school.
Saturday, Oct. 20.-Fruitland,

Monday, Oct. 22.-Etowah and
Bowman's Bluff, Etowah school.
Tuesday, Oct. 23.-Mills River,

Republican party workers OF
Green River precinct will meet at
, the Mt. Olivet school building at
8 p. M, Thursday, Oct. IL, ac-
cording to a call issued by E. S.

BANKS CARRY
BIG PART OF
FEDERAL DEBT
One Third Of North Caro-

in Bonds, Notes

RALEIGH, Oct. 9.-(Special to
The Times-News).-As evidence
of the fact that the banks of
North Carolina and of the nation
are cooperating in government
financing, it was pointed out
that the banks in this state have
invested approximately one-third
of their deposits in United States

banks are carrying 81 per cent
of the United States government
debt, in a statement issued today
by Willard F. Jones. president of

"In his recent radio address to

FIR. TURNS
ATTENTION TO
NRA REVISION
Conference Monday Seen
as Indication of Cau-
ton in Policies
By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. (UP).
President Roosevelt took personal
command yesterday over the task
of revising that MIRA to make it
more potent force in the battle
for economic recovery.
He called the new NRA gov
srning board to the White House
and spent an hour reviewing the
multiple problems confronting
the agency and outlining his
views on policies to be adopted
for the future.
On leaving the White House,
S. Clay Williams, tobacco mag
nate and chairman of the board
described the conference as q
general survey of MIRA prob
lems." He declined to elaborate
on this statement, but said no
drastic changes in NRA policies
or personnel were imminent.
This was interpreted as merely
another indication that the adj
ministration would move cauti-
ously toward the job ahead and
would not adopt a policy one day
and scrap it the next. 1t was an
indirect assurance to business
and industry that they have moth
ing to fear in this direction.
Industrial leaders have besieg-
ed the White House for this as
surance ,.direet from President
Roosevelt. THEY looked in vain
for it in the chief executives re-
cent message to the nation, Other
"new Dealers" however, have
sought to calm the fears Of bust
ness.
Chairman Jesse Jones of the

ton reported that business is
pretty good" throughout the
country. He admitted that the
fall pick up had not been up to
expectations but added quickly:
eve expect too much too
quickly"
He discounted reports that
there was a strike of capital but
asserted there has been some

The American Federation of La,
Dor resolved with roaring af-
firmative vote yesterday, that the
paramount purpose" of the Fed
GRAFTON during the year would be
the campaign for a 30-hour week.
The resolution was the keynote
of the program Of President Will,
liam Green for the labor move
ment ard its passage in a way was
a tribute to him.
But, while undoubtedly pleased
by the enthusiasm shown for his
own major project, he could not
overlook the growing strength OF
the forces opposed to him on two
major issues-industrial unionism
VS. craft unionism, and the ques-s
ton of the enlargement Of the fed
eration's executive council.
Francis J. German, youthful,
English-born and trained leader OF
the textile unions which recently
staged and won the textile strike
in the South and East, announced
he was here to work for industrial
unions, already supported. by such
powerful leaders as Charles How

and the militant, powerful John Ii

Mine Workers. President Greer
favors the craft union although,
