Preliminary
Sales Cards
Widely Used

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. A.
Extensive use of preliminary market
ing cards greeted the opening of Bor-
der Belt tobacco markets today.
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
at State College, estimated that be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 of these cards
have been issued to leaf producers in
80 southeastern North Carolina coun-
ties
while work on final individual
poundage quotas is being completed,
hose growers who entered a request
were issued preliminary cards which
will enable them to sell a portion Of
their leaf on the early markets.
Floyd declared that AAA represen-
tatives from Washington are now in
the State looking over allotments, and
that the first of the final poundage
Quotas will probably be issued by the
first of next week.
When issued a preliminary market
ing card an old grower is allowed to
sell up to 400 pounds an acre on his
allotted acres or his planted acres.

farms tobacco is being produced for
the first time since 1888 allowed
allotment cards up to 800 pounds an

allotted acres, whichever is smaller.
Preliminary cards are secured by
writing to the county AAA office sew
eral days before the card is to be call
ed for. This will allow time to check
on the allotment and prepare the
card.
The remainder of a growers 1888
quota will be given him on his final
card when all the necessary calcula-
tons have been made. These cards
are taken to the warehouse, where an
AAA representative stationed there
enters the amount sold on the card
and subtracts it from the total.

The hardened mass is removed from a freezing mixture of salt brine and treated with hot aqual regia for 300 hours to dissolve the iron, the chemist said. "The residue, most amorphouS car bon and graphite, was digested as much as possible in various acid solutions. The diamonds were found in the black carbon dust. Some of them were so small that they were found only with the aid of micro scopes"
 Lloyd said that Dr. William J. Hershey, head of the McPherson chemistry department, was in charge of the experiments. "Dr. Hershey is of the firm opinion that only tech nical difficulties such as the con- struction of furnaces that will with stand the great heat now stand in the way of the commercial produc- ton of synthetic diamonds under our formula" Lloyd concluded.

Gan non, who complained at the state capital that there should be a law to protect the money that children earn in the movies. Cannon said he would introduce 8 bill, with the situation which now faces Jackie Coogan" in mind. Coogan earned a fortune as baby in the movies and now is suing his mother Mrs. Arthur l.. Bernstein, for an accounting of it. She deposed that although her son earned $1,300,0O0, she planned to keep 1t all. In return for the money, she said she had given him mother love, comfortable rearing and a good education.
 Coogan's petition estimated his earnings as $4,000,000. of which he got nothing, cnd asked 8 receiver and an injunction preventing his mother and her husband, Bernstein, from disposing of any of it. Cannon, commenting on his proposed bill, said: california law has fallen down inexcusably in providing safe- ty to the earnings amassed by nlin- DTS.

 "In the last nine years, more than 50 diamonds have been made syn thetically at the college.

Planes Shipped to Mexico, Made Over Into BOmb-
 CTS for Spain

Los Angeles, April 2O-(UP)- Federal authorities believed today that they had broken up an organ ization smuggling airplanes out of the country to be outfitted as bombers for the loyalist forces in Spain. A purported loyalist agent, Fritz Bieler, was under indictment here but is in Mexico City. He is charged with violating the United States Neutrality Act by shipping four planes to Mexico for eventual delivery in Spain. The four planes, authorities believed, were part of a wholesale shipment across the bor- der. The pleasure planes can cas- ily be changed into fighting ships, it was said. The Spanish ambassa- dor to Mexico participated in the deal, the indictment alleged.
 Indictment Returned
 United States Attorney Benjamin Harrison said that the indictment was returned by the Federal Grand Jury several wekS ago but kept secret until it was ascertained that Bieler had left the country. Bieler is A Mexican citizen of German ex- traction, Because the offense is not an extraditable one, he will escape prosecution.
 Bieler is accused of buying planes in southern California, and hiring nilots such as Paul Mantz, movie stunt flyer and advisor to Amelia Earhart, to fly them to Mexico.
 Felix Gordon Ordas, Spanish ann bassador to Mexico, was accused oi paving storage on the planes at Vera Cruz until they were placed upon ships bound for loyalist Spain

 The court found no error in the decision of Superior Court Judge Edward J. Quinlan in finding Er- nest Dorau, MiddletoWn theater owner, guilty of operating a lottery when he ran a Bank Night" at his place. It was test case.
 Nothing to Defend Plan
 Nothing can be said from the standpoint of public morals in de- fense of this plan," Justice Malt bic wrote.
 "The evil which arises out of such practices is that 1t fosters in men and women a desire to gain profit, not by their own efforts, not as a reward for skill or accomplishment, that it encourages in them thrd but solely in the lucky turn of chance, that it encourages in them the gambling instinct and that it makes appeal to the baser elements in their nature.

FEDERATION OF
 LABOR ACTIVITY

Hartford, Conn, April 20-(UP)- The Connecticut Federation of La Dor was reported today considering becoming more active in politics, possibly to counteract influence of labor's non-partisan league.
 The May meeting of the state federation will discuss the proposal in detail, according to Secretary John J. Egan.
 Two avenues of approach will come under consideration, it was said. The federation merely may indorse certain candidates for of- flee, and frown on others, or it may go directly into the field actively to elect or defeat certain candidates.
 Labor's non-partisan league was regarded by federation officers as an adjunct of the committee for in- dustrial organization. This group has not yet put it's own candidates in the field, but in three city elec- tions has indorsed nominees.
 Mayor George Coyle. D. New Britain, elected last week, had the support of the league.
