CONTROL IS
FAVORED BY 9 TO |.
1 andslido for Curb Leads 70
Speculation on Plan for
Other Major Crops

A landslide for compulsory control
Of cotton led to speculation Saturday
as to whether the future might see
such curhs extended to some other
major crops.
Growers Of the south voted Friday
on the question whether 70 continue
the Bankhead act next year. and In
complete returns Saturday allowed:
Yea oo6, 233.
Nay o1,200.
This was q proportion Of more than
3 to !. A two.thirds vote was neces-
sary for continuance. About $780,
600 producers were eligible to vote, and
Secretary Wallace had estimated BE-.
forehand, that about half that NUM-
Der actually would ballot.
Out Of II states voting, the returns
showed four-Arisona, California, New
Mexico and Oklahoma-failing 70 roll
no two-thirds for the act, which Inn
poses high taxes on cotton sold In ex-
cess Of quotas. The national average
Is the deciding figure.
Observers felt only the future could
tell what effect the vote may have on
other adjustment plans. Secretary
Wallace has not favored compulsory
control for other major crops. though
some other officials expressed the be-
lief economic nationaliSm abroad
might lead to drastic restraints on
production in this country.

ent good hea1th.
Arrangements were made to care
for her in the Episcopal fogeign board

To Mob Bill debu- tantes he offers bite from his apple. and if they don't want q bite. he makes them take one any way. Last night he obliged one young woman who looked too warm" by pouring a glass of beer down her neck. Under spotlight he puts his arm around a Mustered, middle-aged ciubwoman "out Slumming" and sang: You Need n Red Hot Papa Like Me"
