WARNS OF PENSION
SOLICITING RACKET
State Board of Charities and Welfare
Reminds of "Pope Plan" Be
ing FOstered

Raleigh, aug. 4.-Officials of the
State Board of Charities and Public
Welfare, taking cognizance of news
paper reports that a CDR. J. E. Pope"
of Washington, d. c., is soliciting
members for what is termed the
"Pope Plan for Old Age Pensions
at Csc per member-in North Caro-
lima, have issued a statement in which
it is reiterated that no fees are neces-
sary in this State for applicants to
present their claims for assistance
under the North Carolina program.
Several weeks ago, the board,
through Mrs. w. T. Bost, commission
er, asserted that the payment of any
sum whatever to any individual or
organization was not required in filing
claims for assistance through this
States social security program.
Trained workers in every county of
the State, employed by the board and
it's county affiliates, are prepared to
aid assistance applicants without
cost.
The newspaper reports indicate
that the Washington organization al
legedly is of a nationwide scope, and
is said to be lobbying for a federal
statute providing for the payment of
graduated sums to all persons above
the age of So.
The payments, the reports stated,
were to be made "by the United
States government direct, regardless
of state in which pens;cnc~ may live,
and without red tape or meddling by
states and counties"

WENDELL TO VOTE
ON j. S. GRADING
Warehousemen Reported
Leaders in Asking for
Referendum of Growers

Washington, Aug 4-The Bureau
of Agricultural ECONOMICS, it was
announced today, is preparing for a
referendum to be held :his month to
determine whether tho tobacco mar
ket at Wendell, North Carolina, shall
be designated by the Secretary OF
Agriculture for free end mandatory
tobacco inspection service. The re
quest for a referendum was made by
tobacco growers, WlrehouSemen and
other business men of Wendell.
Under the terms of the Tobacco
Inspection act, thu secretary is au-
thorized to designate a market for
such service only after a referendum
has been held among the gr11.ers who
patronized it during the preceding
marketing season and then only il
two-thrds of the growers voting IA
vor the service.
Warehousemen at Wendell, it was
said, took the lead in requesting that
referendum be held. Their action
followed an investigation, made by ::
committee of their members and some
growers. of the practical results of the
service at Goldsboro and Farmville
North Carolina, where inspection ser
vice was inaugurated last year. The
date of the referendum will be an
nounced within a few days.
Twenty-three markets have been
designated for tobacco inspection
service and market news service in
the States of Virginia. North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Kentucky and
Tennessee On three markets in South
Carolina and at four out of seven
warehouses in Oxford, North Caro-
lima, inspection service has been halt
ed by injunctions granted on the ap-
plication of warehousemen. The ser
vice will be conducted as usual on the
other markets and at warehouses not
included in the court orders.
The injunction proceedings raised
question as to the constitutionality
Of the tobacco inspection act. In or
der to obtain 4 final settlement of this
question, the Oxford case has been
appealed and is scheduled for review
by the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals at its October term.

LONDON, March 13.-The past week
in the financial district was dominated
by two factors, the French financial
situation and hectic movements in the
commodity markets, especially in base
metals.
Rubber shares were bought steadily
throughout the week on the almost
unbroken advance in commodities
but tin and copper shares were some
What erratic. A higher trend Is seen

by dlsconcerting fluctuations.
Paris was moderate seller of gilt
edged issues, especially war loan and

Beers, Rio Tinto and other French
faVorites. All these securities recov-
cred, meeting good resistance on the
fall.
Quiet conditions are expected for the
near future IN the security market.
Spectators are adopting a waiting
attitude toward Wall Street, impressed
by the belief that the Federal Reserve
and President Roosevelt will be able
to restrain a boom whenever it is

DEMAND STRONG
FOR WOOL GOODS
Fears of Higher Costs Spur
Purchases to Cover
Fall Needs.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March l3.-A squirt in
the wool goods market this week pro-
vided an example of how fears of
higher costs stimulate wholesale trade.
Buyers rushed into the market, the
New York Wool Top Exchange re-
ported, in the attempt to cover the
bulk of Fall needs in mems wear suit
ings and topcoatings.
With higher costs believed immi-
nent, number of mills accepted
business with an if clause, orders
to be confirmed at the discretion of
the seller" it was pointed out.
Sellers and buyers were said to be
in an optimistic frame of mind. This
was explained both in terms of the
substantial amount of civilian busi-
ness booked and knowledge the Army
intends to step into the market for
nearly million yards of flannel shirt
lngS in the near future.
The belief in wool trade circles is
that consumers will easily absorb
higher clothing prices without much
difficulty, and this has also served
to make for a cheerful outlook.
A cloud on the horizon, on the
other hand, has been the fear held
by some of labor troubles, and it is
believed this may have prompted
various buyers to move aggressively
into the market to cover require
mentS.
Considerable encouragement is de-
rived in wool circles from the fact
business already on mill books is
estimated at more than tWo-thirds of
the normal Fall totals.

WORLD CONTROL
OF SUGAR LIKELY
Concerted Action at London
in April Regarded as
Highly Probable.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

@pcCl6l DlSpdlNN 10 Inc Slar.
NEW YORK, March l3.-Concerted
action by world sugar producers to
control the production and market
ing of sugar is highly probable as
the result of the coming World Sugar
Conference to be held in London on
April 5, in the opinion of an analysis
of The World Sugar Situation" pre-
pared by Fenner & Beane, New York
Stock Exchange and commodity firm.
international agreement on the
part of producers of other commodi-
ties, particularly copper, rubber and
tin, has improved marketing condi-
tionS of these commodities and bet
tered prices materially. 1t seems prob
able that similar agreements can be
established in the case of sugar" the
study believes. There is a strong
probability of a new era developing
in sugar through the concerted efforts
Of world producers.
The two most important export
producing countries OF the world,
Cuba and Java, have already accept
ed the need for crop control and group
action on the part of all producers
should not be difficult matter. With
the necessity for action as urgent as
1t is at present, the outcome of the
conference should be successful" the
analysis states.
Many factors make this an oppor-
tune time for the conference and
favor Its success, in the opinion of
the study. Their economic life seri-
ously affected by continued unsettle-
ment In world sugar, all the important
producers sincerely welcome the op-
portunlty provided by the conference
10 discuss means to improve their
position. Several leading Sugar-grow
ing countries which previously have
been adverse to international control
are the prime movers behind the con-
ference, the report points out.
Any measures for international con-
troll OF sugar now adopted would be
benefited by the currently rising
trend in world sugar consumption in
response to Improvement in general
economic conditions, the ANALYSIS
points out.
