now undergoing tests which may
stamp it the first self-flying plane
in the world, will take off from

The only contingency, aside
from weather, was that. yester-

That these facts were success
full on two separate flights yester-
day was evidenced by satisfaction
expressed by those in charge OF
the twin-motored craft.
The plane made one three-hour
flight yesterday morning, starting
at 4:56 a. m. It scared ITO miles
out over the Pacific through fog
banks, contracting ships to estab-

windows blackened to give COM

Reporters overheard a request
to Honolulu to "send the letter

said he did not receive this re-

IMPENDING DESTRUCTION FOR
COTTON INDUSTRY IS LAID TO
ADMINISTRATION BY EXPERTS
Position of U. S. as Lead.
ing Producer Wanes;
Textiles Affected
By MAX L. BROWN

United Press Financial Writer
Copyright 1895 by United Press)
NEW YORK, March IA. CUP)
Americas position as the worlds
premier cotton producer is wan
ing and supremacy of her three
billion dollar industry is definite.
ly threatened, cotton experts
warned yesterday.
Government intervention has
caused this situation, according to
cotton authorities.
Prior to 1882 America grew APP
proximately 60 per cent of the
worlds cotton crop. As a result
of the administrations cotton
control program production here
has been cut drastically and in
the 1934-35 season totaled slight
! ly less than 100000 bales, or
about two-thirds of the normal
average crop. At the same time
foreign production increased to
nearly 100000 bales in the
past season a new high record,
and approximately 81 per cent of
the worlds cotton crop.
The A.A.A. has set the 1886
crop at 10,500,000 bales. Abroad
production still is increasing and
may aggregate more than 13,000,-
900 bales, or SO per cent of world
output.
Crop restrictions, high taxes
generally, the processing taxes,
NRA regulations and labor diff
culties are causing many cotton
men to leave our south with cot
ton machinery and other types of
equipment for Brazil, duplicating
in part a similar exodus which
took place after the Civil war.
Brazil recently has sprung into
prominence as a cotton producer
and since the industry is under
no restrictions there it makes an
attractive field for our producing
and textile interests.
Because of the high price of
American cotton, based on gov
eminent loan of II cents pound,
American exports of the staple
have fallen sharply. Foreign spin
ners have turned to Brazilian,
Egyptian, Indian and O h e r
growths to supply their needs in
preference to American. Thus far
this season shipments abroad are
about 100000 bales below a
year ago. Experts say our total
export movement this season will
be only about 100000 bales,
about 100000 below last year
and less than half of the peak
movement in 1926 when it totaled
1O,926,0OO bales.
Foreign exchange irregularities
have placed the cotton farmer at
, a disadvantage in world trade.
NOther items adverse to the
American cotton industry include
barter arrangements among ma
tions unable to obtain foreign eX,
change to buy from the United
States; reduced consumption thru
use of foreign-made substitutes
and the decision of the state oe-
partment which eliminated Russia
as a prospective market. =.
Americas textile industry also
has been affected by these deVel-
opments and our foreign markets
for manufactured goods nave nave
| dwindled alarmingly. japanese

SENIOR Play
FRIDAY night
Comedy Of Youth by Popu-
lar Author Has 19 Per-
sons in Cast

The seniors of the city high
school this year have chosen for
their annual production "Grow-
ing Pains"-a three-act comedy
of youth, by Aurania Rouverol,
the author of "Skidding," which
was presented as senior play a
few years ago.
"Growing Pains" depicts the
rather painful process of grow
ing up. 1t tells the dilemma of
the McIntyres, who see their boy
and girl tossed in the cataracts
of adolescence, and can help lit
tie further than give directions
for the turbulent course from a
distance, advice which egocentric
youth always rejects, of course.
The neighborhood boys and girls
share in the joys and sorrows OF
the McIntyrcs. The play bobs
along smilingly, and laughter
piles upon laughter as it prog
resses, with little shafts of gen.
uine pathos deity interspersed,
Many things happen to all of
them, but the end is bright and
promising.
There are 10 in the cast, not
to mention Georges particular
pride-the strip-down he buys
for $4.S5 and fondly names "The
Jigsaw PUZZLE" there is an irate
traffic cop who breaks up the
party; and there is the "new
girl" Prudence Darling, who
sweetly appropriates every boy
in sight. "Growing Pains" is ar
illumiH ting and authentic drama
of real human beings.

Way to Eliminate These

WASHINGTON, March a.
(UP)-Elimination of the pres
ent dual system of state and fed
eral chartered banks by bringing
all banks under federal charter IS
the ultimate objective of the adj
ministration's banking program,
the United Press learned today.
The first step is contained IN
the new banking act which offers
inducement to all banks to join
the federal reserve. When all
banks have become federal re-
serve members, the government
officials will give consideration
to bringing all banks under fed
eral charter, the United Press was
told.

FEAR WORST
INUNDATI0N
IN 50 YEARS
Thousands in Town and
Country Flee in Upper
Mississippi Basin
LEVEES in LOWER
SECTION BREAKING
BY UNITED PRESS

Thousands of townspeople and
farmers, residents of the Missis-
sippi river tributaries area today
were fleeing for their lives from
the rising waters that threaten
the worst flood conditions in fifty
years.
Government engineers and ma
tional guardsmen stationed on the
Black and St. Francis rivers in
the southern Missouri and north
ern Arkansas areas sounded the
warning.
Hundreds of families from
Dubklin Missouri's lowest county,
are being accommodated by Red
Cross tents, box cars, and public
buildings at Kennett.
The government said the st.
Francis within 48 hours would
break its 65 miles of levee.
Flood waters spread over wide
areas Of Mississippi last night,
from the northwestern delta to
the marshlands of the gulf coast,
but clearing skies and warmer
weather gave promise of relief
soon. and some of the rivers had
begun to fall.
Flooded highways made travel
hazardous and many roads were
blocked. Property damage was
heavy.
Four counties in the delta were
in danger of inundation. 1t is the
same area ravaged by flood ear
lier in the winter. The Yazoo riv-
err was two feet above flood stage
at tho town of Yazoo and was
rising at Greenwood. Workmen
were repairing levees and sand
bagging levees.
The Pearl river had begun to
drop at Jackson, in the center OF
the state, but the city's outskirts
were flooded and many negro
homes were inundated. The Red
Cross was caring for 100 families
in the area.
In the southeast, all streams
were falling rapidly, but highway
traffic was paralyzed. The village
of McLain was reported isolated.
A break in the White river levee
at Jacksonport, Ark, a few miles
above Newport, at 10 o'clock last
night sent flood waters pouring
over thousands of acres of farm
lands. Scores of farmers were
driven from their homes. The
break lessened the river stage at
Newport, central town in the
area.
Engineers fear the Stephens,
Keel levee below Newport Will
break. Water is at flood stage. SO
feet, and a break would flood
$4,000 acres.
