 I have trained hard since early January for this years Boston A. marathon and expect to be in the thick of the battle for one of the four places on the Olympic mara thon squad.
 Since January 6 - To be exact I have been running 10 miles twice a week and 18 to 20 miles on Satur- days. In addition, logged over the full marathon route from Hopkin- ton to Boston with Johnny Kelley 8 few weeks ago.
 I'm about two pounds heavier than year ago and I can use that extra weight. I don't follow any special training diet, but make sure eat good strengthening foods.
 On Edge
 I knew that I was all set for the B. A. A. run after finishing sixth in the Presentation Club 10-mile race in Boston last Saturday. l started from scratch and had the second best time - Tarzan Brown, who placed second, getting the time prize. In the Nortn Medloru Nluo 2O-mile run two weeks earlier, which Johnny Kelley won, I couldn't feel the old pull" when tried to speed it up.
 Anything can happen in mara thon, btu if things go according to form it's my opinion that Johnny Kelley and Pat Dengis, who ran one two last year, Tarzan Brown, Bill McMahon, Mel Porter and myself will have to fight it out for first place.
 Holds Record
 It will be my sixth B.A.A. mara then, my best performance, ol course, being in 1883 when l won fin 2 hours 31 minutes 3-5 seconds which is the course record. l thinK my chances this year are as good as ttey were in 1883. But it l have tc, I'll also run in the National AA.U, marathon at Washington May 30 to try to clinch a place on the Olympic team.

of the American people stick
to a definite program, the Great
Plains drought area can be
brought back to near normal
conditions in a quarter Of CEN
fury or less"
That was the assertion today Of
Morris L. Cooke, rural electri-
fication administrator and chair
man Of the Great Plains Drought
Area Committee which recently
submitted a report to President
Roosevelt at Bismarck, N. D., after
a personal tour of inspection of
the Great Plains from Texas to
Montana.
Cooke said the chief task con-
fronting the President Is coordina-
ton of the various Governmental
agencies having to do with con-
servation, agriculture, water and
flood control and soil use.
Some of the agencies which
would have to work in cooperation
to achieve the best results are:
The Department of the In
terror, headed by Secretary
Harold L. Ickes, which has super
vision over millions of acres of
the public domain and grazing
land.
The Department Of Agricul-
ture, under Secretary Henry A.
Wallace, which controls more
thousands of acres of forest lands
and grazing lands within the
forests.
Ickes and Wallace are battling
now over control of the grazing
lands.
The Resettlement Administra-
ton under Administrator Rex
ford G. Tugwell, which has spe.
cial land use and land acquire
ment divisions, having pur-
chased or optioned more than
100000 acres of Submarginal
lands.
Works Progress Administration
which is providing employment
for more than 10000 farmer
drought sufferers; is building
thousands of water conservation
dams, wells and reservoirs.
The War Department, in charge
Of flood control projects.

COTTON PRICES
TURN EASIER

NEW YORK. Sept. IA G.N.SO.
Under the depressing influence
Of hedging, cotton prices contin-
ued easier, with May in a rela-
lively strong position.
Brokers with Continental and
Liverpool connections, and trade
interests were principal support
ers of the market, while the
South, cooperatives, spot houses,
and New Orleans sold the staple.
Most Of today'S hedging opera
tons were induced by fears of
an insufficient cotton crop on
hand to cover home needs. This
alarm was generated by the lower
than anticipated estimate issued
last week. and subsequent deal
ingS on the cotton goods market
tended to substantiate this pesSi-
miStic outlook.
October was quoted at 1910,

Utility Groups
ASSdiled in
SEC Suit

NEW YORK, Sept. IA GN.S).
Taking the offensive in the first
major court test Of the holding
company act, the Security Ex-
change Commission today accused
officials of the giant Electric Bond
and Share Utility System Of flout-
ing the law in refusing to register
with the Commission.
Opening government briefs filed
with the federal court for the
Southern district of New York as
serted the system is coming to the
court with "unclean hands" be-
cause it deliberately defied the
law for the admitted purpose IF
avoiding any possible application
to them" Of the acts registration
provisions.
The Commission, as plaintiff
asked the court to rule only on
validity of the registration provis-
ions Of the act, although the utility
group contended the legislation is
unconstitutional in its entirety.
The brief said:
"The defendants have un-
clean hands because their
prayer for relief is predicated
on the fact that they have re.
fused, without legal justifica-
ton to register.
when, and only when, they
have absOlved themselves for
their unlawful conduct by &C
tually complying in good faith
with the registration provisions
should the processes of an
equity court be available to
them.
"And judging from their
past conduct there is not the
slightest reason to expect the
defendants to register until
they are compelled to do so
months hence by a final man
date Of the Supreme Court.
"By reason of representations
they have made to Congress and
their refusal to file a simple
nOtific alton of registration,
their own acts mark the de-
PENDANTS as signalIy deficient
in that equity whic,l a court re-
quires Of supplicants for equita-

.|CKES' ASSISTANT
DROPS PROTESTS
Harry SIattery Makes Peace
When Author Explains
Selection of Name.

Harry Slattery, assistant to Secre-
tary of the Interior Ickes, has made
his peace with Margaret Mitchell,
author of "Gone With the Wind"
The Slattery family has lived in
Greenville, S. c., for nearly a GEN.
tury, and when Miss Mitchell's story
of the South appeared in print, one
of the principal characters was "vil-
lainous" carpetbagger named Slattery.
There were circumstances which led
Ickes' assistant to believe the author
had deliberately libeled his family
name, which is an uncommon one
in the part of the country in which
some OF the scenes of the novel are
laid He had gone so far as to con-
suit an attorney, but the author in
correspondence that followed explained
that the selection of the name was
accidental. Now they are friends, and
Slattery is satisfied, he said, to drop
his proposed suit
Miss Mitchell's husband, John
Marsh, is an employe Of the Georgia
Power Co. During the recent Walsh
investigations into the power trust,
Slattery had engaged in court battles
involving the concern as former con-
servation commissioner. He also had
