Teacher Withdraws
 From Election Race
Daisy Lord Not to Seek Presidency Again of Local As sociatiOn- Held Capacity For Several Years

ffiss Daisy Lord, president of the waterbury, Teachers association Tor several terms. will not De . eandidate for reelection at the an- Mtni meeting of the organization to be held a week from Monday at Crosby high school it was authen- fically reported today. Miss Lord was the first president of the as- aociation and has been particularly active in organization work not only among locai teachers but In various sections of the country. She is also president of the classroom Recruitment of the National Educa- ton association.
 Officers of the association said today that Miss Lords withdrawn from the presidency "is not yet certain" but it is understood that she will make a formal announce fnent on her return this week from Chicago where she has been work ing in the interests of the N. E. A.
 Tho Waterbury Teachers asso- ciation numbers several hundred members and for the past several wears has claimed "100 per cent membership" meaning that every eligible teacher in the city is en- rolled in the organization. Under Miss Lords guidance the associa- ton has become one of the most active and influential organizations of it's kind in the state.
 The local association was one or the first in Connecticut to pursue the investigation of the new cer- tification regulations, effective in 1887, which apparently will place in question the status of many teachers now employed in the schools and make advancement requirements more strict.
 Other officers of the association include Miss Mary Kennedy, vice president; Miss Mary Mitchell, re- cording secretary; Miss Anna Ske- han, financial secretary; and Miss Helen Egan, treasurer.

FAMILIES FIRST DAY-AT SEA ON WAY TO ALASKA
Buttered Bread Revolt on Train is Now Regarded
 With Laughter
By JAMES A. SULLIVAN

United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent) Aboard the U. s. army transport St Mihiel, May 2-(UP)-The spir- it which prompted the Boston tea party rode northward today in the persons of 2S7 midwestern farmers bound for Alaska to establish new homes in a rugged wilderness.
 The independence of these mod ern pioneers was expressed in the "buttered bread" revolt, an incl dent serious at the time but re- called with laughter today as the colonizing party passed it's first full day at sea and dined at the ships well-stocked tables.
 "It seems trivial now," said one woman of the party, a former school teacher. "But it showed more than anything else the spirit of independence which we as Americans are taking into our new homes"
 Revolt Was Started
 The revolt began on a train car rying the 69 families from thelr Minnesota homes to San Francis co, where yesterday they embarked on what was for most Of them their first sea voyage.
 ' A change of railroads brought a change in cuisine. Chefs of the new road served buttered bread with the meals given the colonists, fleeing from drought tr ic en farms. Men of the party demanded that separate pats of butter De served. They also asked more vari- ety in meats and vegetables.
 Leaders emerged from the group and a committee was formed to take the protest to the federal emergency relief administration of- f,cials guiding the party to a re- mobilization tract in the Matanus- ka valley in Alaska.
 Threat to Abandon
 "The men threatened to abandon the expedition right there and then" the school teacher said.
 "They believed their rights had been assailed and they were willing to get off the train, in the middle of a desert, unless they could nave what the ybelieved was their rish' " "The protests succeeded" >the teacher said. "After that we got better meals and pats of butter in- atead of buttered bread"
 In i've more days they VIII see for the first time the rugged coun- try in which the men will level q forest, break the earth for log cab in homes. and plant potatoes. hay: wheat and root crops which VII provide the colony not only with sustenance but also with an in' come.

DECREASE IN COTTON
EXPORTS INDICATED
2,500-Bale Drop Seen as End Of
Present Crop Year
Draws Near.
By the Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, July 11.-As the
1934-35 cotton year draws to a close
the main problem confronting the
trade is the indicated 00,000-bale
drop in exports Of American cotton,
leading New Orleans traders said yes
terday.
Three weeks from yesterday the
present crop year ends, with every
indication that total exports for the
past IL months will fall far below
100000 bales.
Only twice in the past 80 years
have exports of domestic cotton
dropped below this figure, 1t was
pointed out, once during the depres-
sion year of 1921 and back in 1917.
when submarine warfare restricted
ocean commerce.
With total exports thus far this
year 4,665,579 bales, the trade does
not look for more than 100000 bales
to be sent abroad this season. This
compares with 7,534,4l5 bales in the
season which ended July 81, 1894.
Many leaders Of the cotton trade
have blamed the loss Of foreign mar
kets to the present Government cot
ton program, which, they charge, has
kept the price of American cotton at
an artificial price which foreign con-
sumers refuse to pay.

med his guitar and mumbled phrase
of the ballad to himself.
II can't work good up here IN the

ing about what I was going to get has
kinda slowed me down."
Robinson will be taken to the State
penitentiary tomorrow.

tried in September. Officers said Rob-
inson was slain for $4,000 insurance.
