.PWA SHOWDOWN UP
TO ROOSEVELT TODAY
BY FREDERICK A. CTORM

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. IL.
(UP)-A showdown and an &C
counting on PWA policies and ex-
penditures was scheduled for to-
day when President Roosevelt will
interrupt his vacation" in the
country to referee a dispute be-
tween Interior Secretary Harold
l.. Ickes and Harry Hopkins,
works progress administrator.
At the session, the first real
checkup on money spent from the
$4,880,000,000 fund, will be
Ickes, Hopkins, ! Frank Walker,
chairman of the national emer-
gency council; Acting Budget Di-
rector Daniel W. Bell; Corrington
Gill, assistant to Hopkins, and
Colonel Hackett, federal housing
expert.
Mr.. Roosevelt treated lightly
reports of a fight between Ickes
and Hopkins over the latter's re-
lection of 1000 PWA projects.
But, asked if he wanted Ickes to
continue, the president replied
that he certainly did.
Although Wednesday was pack
ed with study Of political and
administration problems for Mr..
Roosevelt, he kept in close touch
with the serious European devel-
,opments. He revealed that in ad-
dition to having discussed the sit
uation with Robert w. Bingham,
U. S. ambassador to Great Brit
ain, he had several telephone con-
versations on the subject with
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
A surprise development late
yesterday was announcement that
Father Charles E. Coughlin, mill
tant radio commentator and friend
of the late Senator Huey P. Long,
was a summer White House lunch
con guest Tuesday. The priest was
with the president when Mr..
Roosevelt's secretary informed
him of Longs death.
The meeting was described by
the president as a purely social

Tax Revision Suggested


Washington. President Roose-

of Mayors Tuesday that the FEEDER

Applause greeted his statement.

the coming year to sevise system.

He suggested the differen,

ripe for revision.
The President said nothing abou1
new taxes, however.
The President expressed hop.
that the next session of Congres,
will be short.
He referred with a smile to the
fact that there will be an election
in 1886 and added he did not want
the proposed tax conference to gel
mixed up with that.

Both the friends and the foes Of
the Administration profess to fine
satisfaction in the results Of the
recent local elections in different
parts of the United States. A good
deal depends on the point Of
view, but the more serious minded
among the Presidents advisers
look on the record of the vote as
sounding at least a warning note.
The reputation of Postmaster
General Farley as political stra-
tegist suffered somewhat of a set
back. He injected the New Dea..
issue into the New York legislative
campaign, and that enables Repub-
licans to chortle over regaining
control of the State Assembly.
Since the assembly has. been Re-
publican for s35 years, except for
the three, Democratic Landslide"
elections of 1910, 1912, and 1884,
this years result was merely a re-
turn to normal, and would have
attracted little attention if Mr..
Farley had not chosen to make an
ADMINISTRATION issue of it. His
only consolation is that the total
Democratic vote cast in the State
was 100000 more than the Re-
publican vote, the majority. being
mostly in New York City, where
Tammany elected two Congress
men to fill vacancies.

Bigger Cotton
Crop Seen For
U. s. Next Year

Washington.-In a complete sur.
vey of world cotton production
and consumption by the Bureau Of
Economics of the Department OF
Agriculture, it is stated that while
the supply of American cotton in
1861 depends largely upon the
|AAA program, domestic cotton
acreage in 1886 would undobuted-
lily show a very marked increase.
And with average yields the
domestic crop and the world sup
ply of American cotton would pro-
badly materially increase, since
present indications point to a COM
paratively small decrease in the
world carry-over of American cot
ton on August 1, 1886. AS yet,
no announcement has been made
relative to the 1886 acreage-ad-
justment program.
Present indications are that the
world supply of foreign-growr
cotton will be about l9,450,oo(
bales (of approximately AS
pounds) which is about the same
as the record supply Of the previ.
Gus season, and II per cent larger
than the 10-year average endee
1925. The current seasons sup.
ply of foreign growths remained
about unchanged as a result of
marked reduction in the carry-ove
at the beginning of the year an'
despite a considerable increase il
the production. The carry-ove
on August 1, amounting to 1900,
900 bales, was 100000 bales, o
IS per cent, smaller than for tn
previous year, but II per cen
larger than the average for the Il
wears ended 1928. Informa
ton available in late October lndl
Gates that foreign production ii
1856 will probably be abou
$4,000 bales larger than the re
cord production of last season
Such an increase would give
total foreign crop Of approximate
ly 14,s5o,ooo bales, which is con
siderably larger than the produc
ton in any other year and 80 pc
cent larger than the average 70

Wallace Says.
Provide Substitute For
Bankhead Act And Pro-
cessing Tax If They
Are Voided
INCREASE QUOTA

Washington.-With the average
cotton price at the 10 designated
spot markets 1918 cents a pound,
Secretary Wallace at his press con-
ference said considerable progress
had been made in working out the
new. cotton production control
program, and Chester Davis, chief
AAA administrator said he hoped
to have an outline of the program
ready for announcement the latter
part of the week.
Neither Wallace nor Davis e
vealed any particulars regarding
the new AAA program for cotton.
The program will probably be for
four years, but with the reduction
of yield subject to change every
year. There is much speculation
as to what size of crop the AAA
will plan for 1886, the general be-
lief being that the quota will be
increased to between ,11,000,O 600
and 100000 bales.
1t is understood that the new
program is being drawn with thu
possibility that the Supreme Cour'
will declare the Bankhead act IN
constitutional. IF this should hap
pen, the AAA would have to de-
pend on benefit payments and land
rentals for production control.
Some believe this can be done, and
the AAA will not be seriously
crippled if the Bankhead act, pro-
viding for a so per cent tax on
cotton produced in excess of AAA
allotments, is declared unconstitu-
tional.
But the enemies of the AAA
are also asking the Supreme Court
to declare the processing tax m
constitutional, and, if this is done,
the very heart of the program will
be revomed. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the administration has a
substitute tax plan ready to submit
to Congress should the court de-
clare the processing tax unconsti-
tutional. The Supreme Court is
expected to pass on both the Bank
head act and the processing tax
this winter,
With cotton consumption in
creasing, the AAA can increase the
cotton production quota to 12,-
000, 900 bales and still reduce the
surplus. The AAA issued a x
emption certificates to cover TO-,
|eS3,264 bales in 1885. In addition
to this there were certificates COW
ering 100000 bales held over from
1884. This made possible a pro-
duction of 1~1,6S3,264 bales this
year without tax, and the latest
crop estimate places the crop at
11,464,00o bales.
Consumption of American cot
ton is expected to exceed 14,ooo,-
900 bales during this cotton year,
land to reduce the surplus to around
7,ooo,o 900 bales. This compares
with a surplus Of 100000 in
-1932 before the AAA was launch
led.
