FINE TRIP MAKES
CHICAGO THREAT
Club Wins 10 of II Games
on Road-Cards Slip as
Giants Triumph.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
= TRONG has been the tendency
this season to regard the Ma
, tional League pennant battle
as q two-club affair between the
Cardinals and Giants, but recent de-
velopments indicate that Chicago's
Cubs must be considered as a strcug
threat and even the Pirates can't en-
tirely be counted out.
The Cubs. rated generally as strong
on their own field, but weak on the
road, wound up q successful Eastern
tour yesterday by trimming the
Braves, 8-to-2, for their tenth victory
In II games on the road. That fol-
lowed a great home stand that had
left them only two games behind the
pace-setting Cardinals. To make the
threat stronger, they return to their
own park Monday for another long
stay.

to express their opinions, I be.
lieve the experiment will prove
to be a worthy one. My pet
annoyance at this particular
time is the crime condition and
parole system. Part of your edi-
torial of an evening recently
stated that first offenders
should not be put with hard
ened criminals or men of two
or more offenses.
I do not agree with you or any
one else who states that first
offenders should be cajoled, SYM
pathized with and pampered.
If first offenders were given to
understand definitely that there
would be no leniency or pam
pering, just because Of their
youth or innocence, they would
stop and think twice before
committing that first offense.
Our laws say, General public,
you must have compassion for
this poor fellow for he is pre-
sumably innocent until proven
guilty"
Now if he is presumably inno-
cent. why waste time and money
cooking for him and running
him down, why arrest him at
all?
The sooner the law is made to
read:
This man is prisoner, we
have evidence Of his guilt, and
he must be treated as SUCH"
There should be no parole
system. A MOTHER.

Charges Discrimination
To the Editor of The Times:
The writer, who was classed
as a Spanish War veteran for
over 80 years, and whose three.
year enlistment was spent in
Cuba between 1898 and 1902,
with a medical record stating
I was injured in the service
and unable to do normal labor
for a number Of years, includ-
ing the present, has at last
seen men who, like himself,
have been cut from the pension
rolls for service disabilities.
And our President is quoted in
newspapers as saying the one
million and a half unworkables
will fall back on the counties
and States to be supported by
them.
Oh, what a shame to deny
these men of what little they
received from this national
emergency relief act, to cast
them on the counties on q
starvation diet, after serving
their flag and country, honest
and faithful" on a foreign soil.
The two men to whom refer
are World War veterans and on
their discharges appear these
records: 1896541, gassed Octo.
Der 16, 1918, Argonne Forest;
3106673. gasSed September 20,
1918, Verdun. The names of
these men will be given on re-
quest.
Readers, do you think it is
right that these men should
pay taxes to help support a
Government whose ambition, it
seems. is to starve them to
death? Under the present re-
lief system. my wife and I are
allowed AZ cents day in

LIBERTY LEAGUE
TAKES NEW RAP
At NEW DEAL

Jouett Shouse's American Lib

other blow at the New Deal, Voic-
ing a 10-point program of the OBJ
jectives of the organization, among
which were:
ITO combat the growth Of
bureaucracy, the spread Of mo-
nOpoly, the sOcializatiOn Of in
duStry and the RECOMMENDATION Of
American life"
The program, while making no
mention of the Roosevelt admin.
istration, plainly was designed in
criticism of it. The complaints
of Republicans and anti-New Deal
Democrats constituted the back
bone of the 10 points.
Among the points were:
"TO uphold the principle that
levying Of taxes, appropriation
Of public funds, and designa-
tiOn Of the purposes for which
they are to be expended, are
exclusively the functions of
Congress and should not be ex-
erciSed by administrative Of

"TO oppose all unnecessary
interference and competition by

dustry.
"TO uphold the American
principle that laws be made
only by the direct representa-
tives Of the people in the Con-

asks The Times-News to express
his sincere appreciation of the

.l36 MILLIONS IN
COTTON VALUE
IS WIPED OUT
Government Heavy Loser
in New Orleans Trade;
Rules 6 Million Bales
BY EARLE B. STEELE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS, La, Mar. -.
(UP).-A $3.50 a bale crash in
the cotton market yesterday wiped
S136, 100000 off the value of
Americas leading commodity IN
the space of two hours.
Nearly half the loss was recov-
cred before the cotton exchange
closed after its widest session
since the panic of 1929.
Latest government figures list
the available supply of American
cotton at 14,363,000 bales. The
net loss for the day was $3.50 a
bale. or $86,123,900 in values.
The government was a heavy
loser. 1t controls more than g.
100000 bales, including 4,110,-
538 bales on which it has loaned
farmers as much as IL IL cents a
pound. The value of spot cotton
(middling) was 1928 cents a
pound at the close of the New Or
leans exchange. The loss was LOG
points for the day.
The crash was caused by a ru-
NOR that the Bankhead crop con-
troll bill approved by the house
agricultural committee last Friday
had been so amended that govern
ment crop loans would be discor-
tinued this season.
Traders besieged the pit, scream
ing their bids. Buyers were
swamped with takers. The roar
carried for two blocks down mar
row Gravier street. The scene had
not been equalled since the des-
perate autumn days of 1929 and
interrupted series of the dullest
weeks in cotton trading in years.
At one time cotton sold below 10
cents, for the first time since De-
cember 81, 1888.
AS one operator explained it,
mills had been buying cotton free
ly. They had failed to protect
their holdings with hedge sales,
that is, selling future contracts on
their cotton to guard against any
wide fluctuation in prices. The
lethargy of the market for the
past several weeks had made any
such debacle as that of Monday
seem unlikely. When the price
began to fall, the mills were
caught off guard and flooded the
market with hedge sales.
Many spectators who had sold
cotton on call and were unable to
protect their contracts, were wiped
out when brokers called for more
margins.
