COTTON ADVANCE
|. SEEN AUTHORIZED
Amount of Loan to Be An.
nOunCed After Produc-
ton Estimate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With some A A. A. officials doubt
ing the advisability Of any loan what
ever to peg the 1885 cotton crop prices,
strong political pressure descended to-
day on the Farm Administration for
an advance from 10 to II cents in
cotton loans.
Some of the officials admitted pri-
vately, however, that the loan ad-
vance may be authorized.
Chester c. Davis, A. A. A. admins
traitor, said the amount of the loan
probably will be announced shortly
after the Government estimate of 1885
cotton production. This will be issued
Thursday.
Meanwhile, those favoring the 12-
cent figure were reported to have
turned their attention also to the
White House and Congress, as well
as the A. A. A.
Faces Criticism.
What worried the A. A. A. was the
possibility that with the cotton loan
policy, the A. A. A. and the Com
modify Credit Corp. may find them
selves confronted with the same situa-
ton which gained criticism for the
old Farm Board. The Commodity
Credit Corp. has advanced directly,
or has guaranteed through private
agencies, 12-cent loans totaling S27l, =
775.525 on 4,454,039 bales of cotton.
These figures do not include advances
made on cotton held by the producers
pool. The pool now has 675, 900 bales
of spot cotton and $4,000 bales of
futures.
The loans were due early this year,
but have been extended until Feb
ruary /, 1886. Some officials said they
did not believe the Government would
be repaid unless the price of cotton
reached l3 cents a pound
Annual Carry-Ov
The carry-over of American cotton
August l was $500, 900 bales, and the
Bankhead allotment this year, 10, ,983, =
264 bales. However. some private
estimates Of the 1885 crop run as
high as 100000 bales. If the crop
should be that large, an official said,
the Farm Administration would be
confronted with a delicate problem.
Suggestions have been made that
the Government take over cotton on
which loans now are outstanding, and
use this TO establish the "ever-normal
granary" sponsored by Secretary WAL
lace and authorized in the A. A. A.
amendments pending in Congress.
Under this plan, the Government
would use the cotton itself for benefit
payments, instead of cash.

$4,000 were reported by Federal and

BALTIMORE, August 5.-There
can be no names in this story be-
cause mother might be upset and a
nurse might lose her job. But what
happened was this:
A child was born to Mrs. x and
an inferno told the nervous father
it was a girl.
In two weeks the mother was able
to leave the hospital with the child,
which she tucked away in the nursery.
A few hours later the father learned
to his dismay that the baby was not
girl, as he had been told, but a
boy. Attached to the little wrist was
an identification tag, showing the
child belonged to another couple.
Unwilling to alarm his wife, he
slipped the child from the crib, re-
turned to the hospital, got his own
child-a girl for sure this time-re-
turned home and placed the infant
N the crib
He strolled nonchalantly out to
greet his wife.
John" she said. we've got the
best baby-not whimper from her

JOHNSON BACKED
NMOSES DISPUTE
w. p. A. Seen Recognizing
Authority Of New York
Administrator.

By the Associated Press.
The Works Progress Administration
indicated today the Federal Govern
ment was standing behind Hugh S.
johnson, w. P. A administrator for
New York City, in the controversy
with City Parks Commissioner Robert
Moses, who has questioned Johnson's
right to issue orders to P. w. A. work
ers on parks jobs.
Harry L. Hopkins, relief admins
traitor, was out of the city, but his
aides pointed out Johnson was given
full authority to handle P w. A. jobs
in New York, including parks projects,
when he was appointed administrator
there.
The w. P. A. indicated its position
would be that johnson was entitled
to whatever backing was necessary
in connection with his administration.
since he is a Federal employe and
Moses is not.
No statement was available, how
ever, as to whether such backing
might involve the hold'~g up of Fed
eral funds for parks projects.
Moses also figured in a controversy
some months ago with Secretary Ickes,
who gave an order to the effect that
further Federal funds for the huge
Tri-Borough Bridge project in New
York would be held up while Moses
remained on the Bridge Authority.
This order later was rescinded.

Plans for reorganization of the Chi

tends that the reorganization plans
do not disclose the control of the re-
