The prOgra mwas designed TO
bring airport facilitiC5 to a level

with especial emphasis on CON
struction where air traffic Is hcaV-

600 needy empioyable men.
MILITARY ASPECTS
CONSIDERED
Airport and airway cOrStruc-
ton by WPA was regarded by
government officials us of great
Importance 90 civil, commercial
and military aviation and as the
beginning of national plan to as
sure orderly development of avia-
ton ground facilities, the report
said.
"The American public has ever
been ready to adopt more RAPID
means of transportation and while
past airport expenditures may
have appeared large in comparison
with air traffic of few years
ago. the rising curve of that trat-
fic more than justifics this CON
sentative airport program OF the
works progress administration,
Hopkins said.

Other projects in the active and

To assure disability of an air

construction projects were divid-
ed into units such as grading, paw

greater number of projects than

COTTON NEEDS
Say Carry-0ver Of Ameri-
can Crop Is Smallest
in Six Years
B., FRED D. BAILEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Marcn &c. -
UP).-Conditions in the United
States are conducive to Il larger
cotton acreage" this year, accord
ing to survey by the department
Of agriculture.
The cotton farmer, III planning
his crop this year, is faced with a
smaller supply Of American cot
ton but a larger world supply due
to increased foreign production,
the department said.
The department said that an IN
crease in production in an amount
substantially. greater than the re-
duction in this year, world carry
over of American cotton might be
burdensome.
WORLD MARKET LARGER
The department summarized the
cotton outlook rs follows:
with further reduction IN
world carry-ovcr of American cot
ton. as now appears probable. the
1897 United States crop could be
increased somewhat without CIV
ing a world supply of American
cotton for the season l93i-5o
larger than the supply of this cot
ton for the present season.
although an increase in the
supply for export would tend to
strengthen the competitive posi-,
ton Of American cotton in world
markets. the advisability of in
creasinc production depends upon
its effects on the income of pro-
ducers oyer period Of years. y
The department said the world
supply of American cotton for the
1867 season is expected to be
about 100000 bales less than in
the pcrvious season, the lowest IN
~ years and 9 per cent less IMAM
the i0-ycar average.
WORLD CARRY-OVER
SMALLER
The world carry-ovcr Of Amer
lean cotton at the beginning OF
the season was approximately =
100000 bales less than year ago
and the smallest in six years, but
was II per cent larger than the
lO-ycar average, the department
said.
The carry-ovcr OF foreign cot
ton was expected to reach new
peak and exceed the average by
az per cent. Total foreign pro,
duction last season was estimated
at 1880. 900 bales, an increase
of 600, 900 bales over the record
crop of the 1885 season and oo
per cent above the 1888 aver
age. .c,.
The department said that if the
supply Of foreign cotton should
continue to increase. relative TO
American cotton. sit would be-
come increasingly Influential in
determining the world price OF
all cOttonS.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
STUDENT
By EDWARD KANTRoWITz

STUDENT
For the pas, several weeks this
column has attempted 10 show you
what the outcome Of this school
election will mean 20 he city Is
a whole. But TO the student !, Is
even more vital. Our education Is
as essential rs life; it is the key
stone of our pursuits. Already.
in the south. generally, we stu
dents are handicapped because We
have year less schooling than
elsewhere. III this ninth month Is
also taken away we will be again
drained of our educational hopes.
a study was made last year by
the Raleigh News and Observer TO
determine what happened to
North Carolina graduates who
went to college. The survey was
made in the five colleges OF North
Carolina and the results conrIu-
sively showed the diCeIUl fate in
store for North Carolina high
school graduates. or the freshmen
who come from our schools only
IL per cent passed their work,
while 81 rcr cent of those from
the outside passed. For those
failing every subject almost 81
came from North Carolina. Other
results which they discovered lie
in a similar vcir--thcy al show
that North Carolina students are
not well-preparcd And this Is
what was discovered IN North
Carolina schools. where the work
is usually continuation of North
Carolina high school work. What
happens 20 us poor untortunatcS
who 20 20 out-of-Statc colleges
heaven alone knows.
OF course many THINGS are
needed 20 remedy this aUoma'v.
But surely taking away the ninth
month is not the way 20 solve Il.
Certainly we should push our
selves forward and rot Backward,
if we intend 20 support the high
school students.

Big Responsibility
Seen for Labor in
Wagner Ruling

With labor now given unprece-
denied powers by the Supreme
Court decisions on the National
Labor Relations Act, the re-
SponsibilitieS of the union lead
ers have been increased tremend-
ouSly, and the basis for mar
monious employer-employe re-
lationships rests chiefly on the
ability Of these leaders to take
on the added responsibilities &C.
cording to the Standard Stats
tics Company. It is highly prob
able that public opinion would
react unfavorably If labor presses
its position to make unreasonable
demand on business, the report
says, adding:
1t is generally recognized
that the labor act Is too one
sided in that too much EN-
phaSiS is placed ON the reSpOn-
SibilitieS of the employers and
too little on the employees.
Now that the act has been up
held, the way has been opened
for much needed reviSiOnS, par
ticularIy In the direction Of
strengthening the powers Of
the Labor Board, 50 that buSi-
ness would have some recourse
in future disputes.
THE new interpretations
placed by the Court ON inter
state commerce obviously give
much greater powers to the
Federal Government. It is ex-
pected that legislation will he
proposed at the present seS-
sion of Congress incorporating
some Of the features Of the
MIRA, particularly as regards
competitive practices, child la
Dor and minimum wages in the
large industries such q steel,
textile and automobiles, which
apparently are subject to some
control under the new cOncep-
ton Of interstate commerce"
From a broad business stand
point, it is pointed out that there
appears to be no reason why
the decision should check the
cyclical recovery now under way.
In fact, if both labor and Con-
gress make sensible use Of their
new-found powers, the report
says, it is conceivable that the
basis will later Re established for
more amiable employer-employe
relations for some time to come.
Because Of the present high rate
of industrial activity, any neces-
Sary adjutments should be. &C
complished with little difficulty,
the study adds.

ALL SECTIONS
IRREGULAR
ON CURB
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, April 10 UN.S0.
Curb stocks were irregular and
little changed in an extremely
quiet session today. All sections
of the list were mixed.
Disappointment with the earn
ingS of AGFA ANSCO sent the is
sue down more than 4 points to
20. The stock has moved in q
wide range recently. Changes in
most other active issues in the
miscellaneous shares were frac-
tional.
General Tire, Ferro Enamel and
American Cynamid B eaSed, while
Cooper Bessemer, Glen Alden and
Technicolor improved slightly.
Utilities were higher on the
whole, but few issues lost ground,
among them Illinois Power So pre-
ferred and American Gas. N. Y.
Steam advanced fractionally to a
new high and Electric Bond and
Share, Niagara Hudson Power, and
Arkansas Natural Gas A improved.
Slightly lower levels prevailed in
most petroleum issues. Pantepec,
Derby Oil, and other low-priced
stocks turned down fractionally,
while no interest was displayed in
the higher-priced issues.
Although Newmont slipped more
than 2 points on further declines
in foreign copper prices, the
mining shares we're better, on the
whole, with gold shares showing a
fair degree of strength. Hollinger
Gold, Hudson Bay, and Consoli-
dated copper worked higher.

NEW YORK, April 10 GN.s).
The stock market maintained q
moderately improved tone today.
Motors, with the exception Of Gen.

leaders, ChrySler gaining better
than a point at one time.
The threat Of possible repeercus-
sions in General Motors American
plants as a result of the motor
strike situation in Canada held
that company's stock around its
previous close.
Steel shares chalked up fair
sized fractional gains, although
U. s. Steel lost about half Of an
initial run-up of more than point

and Republic were prominent.
Anaconda paced a recovery
movement in the copper depart
ment as the group regained part
Of last weeks losses on the cut in
domestic red metal prices, moving
more than a point above Satur-
days finish.
Generally higher levels pre-.
vailed in the aviations, oils, rub
bers, rails and mail orders. Public
Service Of New Jersey dropped a
point in a mixed utility group.
Bendix slumped more than a point
to q new low for the year below
%. Mining shares were easier.
Bonds were firm, including
United States Governments.
