the California campaign entered a

Haight had disregarded Sinclair
while making secret efforts to per-
suade the latter to withdraw in his

/ Possibility CT an alliance between

remote today as Haight, speaking
in Los Angeles to statewide aud

frankly they prefer Merriams cleo

sincerely believe Merriams election
will aid them in crystallizing a

SHARP REPLY
To FL.E:. .'7CHE.R
BY HOPKINS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. UP) -
Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief ad-
ministrator, struck back today at
Republicans who have criticized the
FERA for pouring millions into the
states in advance of the coming
elections.
Henry P Fletcher, Republican ma
tional committee chairman, bore
the brunt of Hopkins attack.
Referring TO Fletcher as a man
who accepted the ambaSSadorship
to Italy. because nobody else want
ed it," Hopkins interpreted his crit
icism Of FERA GllotmentS to states
in advance of elections as mean
ing that what ne is saying to the
unemployed, is you let lis get Back
to power, and you will not be taken
care Of"
Fletchers attack on the FERA,
Hopkins said, Indicates a complete
misunderstanding of the privileges
of the destitute. His attack that
we timed this November relief al
loments) at the right date, is silly.
We gave cut the same sum always. "
Hopkins observed that 'if we had
stepped up construction, and thrown
the whole mob on work relief, t.ere
would have been something to IL. i
think the implication of the attack
is that they (Republicans) would
stop spending our relief funds,
That's what they're intimating, but
they are afraid to say it."
Hopkins said that this thing Of
relief influencing an election is RI
diculous."

CROP
To BIZ. SHORT.
Estimate Indicates Acreage viii
Be Approximately 40 Per Cent
OF Last Years.

Between 1000 and 12,000 acres
of lettuce will probably be planted
in the valley this season, according
TO estimates made by J. B. Norton,
plant pathologist in the agricultural
commissioners office.
"Neighborhood Gossip is the
title of Norton'S estimate since it is
based on information brought into
the office not only by the growers
but by ranchers who think that
their neighbors will plant SO many
acres this season.
The reports indicate, says Nor
ton, that the crop this year will be
about 40 per cent OF last years acre
age CT 29,647. The above acreage
! figures are concerned with the pro
duction by the large companies and
rot by the independents.
/ CT the acreage anticipated for
this season, 1000 acres have not
been wet as yet. In addition to the
/ HIP GOO acres to be grown by the
lccmpanies, Independents will prob
ably increase the total by $4,000
! acres.
Those companies which last yea1
planted an acreage of 1,00O or over
this year are growing just 46 per
cent of that acreage, on the aver
age. Those whose acreage was soc
or more last year are planting
about 4012 per cent of that acre
age.
The official crop report put ou
by the commissioner office will no
lbe made until later in the season.

Chicago, Nov. 2. Samuel insult,
shouldering full blame for the de
bacle that wiped out his utility en-
pire and the savings of investors,
denied in federal court today that
he "rigged' the market value OF his
stocks in a gigantic fraud.
insult, facing possible imprison-
men with 16 former officials of his
Corporation Securities company,
said that whatever he did in the
turbulent days of 1929 was nothing
unusual"
My actions, he said, were die
tated by years of experience in
times of great trouble.
My course was universally fol
lowed by all interests responsible to
large numbers of stockholders when
there is a state of deterioration in
securities
Floyd E. Thompson, rugged at
torney with bushy black hair, step

his client sat.
Then what you did, Mr.. insult
you did for your investors?"
"I did insult answered. I'VE

moralzation of our securities ano
the market value. We had a respon-
sibility to our investors to maintain
for them a ready, stable market
The government, producing heap

that insult engineered a scheme
whereby securities sold by Corpora

COTTON LOWER,
BUT STEAD|ES

NEW YORK, March 16 G.N.S).
There was a moderate reaction in
cotton today in fairly active trad
ing, before support came in at the
lower levels.
At the opening, cotton dropped
8 to IL points on an overnight
accumulation of selling orders
from nervous longs unfavorably
impressed by the unexpected turn
OF events in silver legislation.
The market steadied somewhat
after initial offerings had been
absorbed and moved up a few
points, but the general undertone
continued unesttled.
Selling came from spot firms,
professional traders and the South,
although offerings from the latter
sources was not particularly heavy.
After the first call. the trade
came into the ring for moderate
amounts of cotton. Commission
houses bought on a small scale.
Midday prices were off to 9
points, with May off 9 at 1915,
July, off at 1926, October off
8 at 1910, and December off 8
at 1851.

I can see how if that were done,

satisfied either that it is neces-

that my tax money is being
wisely spent. Second, I wonder
if the Washington authorities
realize that in their efforts to
do what they call creating pur-
chasing power" they are killing
my power to purchase.
And also it burns me up when
I reflect that if I were only
