Revival OF Town

Cushman. With 500 People
Near Manganese Field

CUCHMAN, Ark, Jan. 10. -
(UP)-ThiS small Arkansas COM
munity of less than 500 residents
might become of national import
ance in event of another great
war.
Located in independence coun-
ty, Cushman is near one of the
few fields of manganese in the
state. 1t is this element which is
essential in making steel for the
manufacture of firearms and mu-
nitiOnS.
The metal is an important alloy
in the manufacture of steel. 1t is
put into the molten mass of met
al to absorb gases, and it tends
to temper the steel.
TOWN NOT PROSPEROUS
At present the town is not
prosperous. A conSid I a b i G
amount of the ore is mined and
shipped, but the market for it
is limited. The main use for the
manganese today is in revetment
work by the federal government.
As the land is unfit for farm
ing, the grayish-white metals
mining is the chief source of in
come for people residing in the
section.
Current concern over the Sino-
Japanese conflict, though, is rem
iniscent of the World war, when
this small village became a thriv-
ing center of activity. The prices
offered for the ore at that time
shot sky high, and even mineral
rights brought great profits.
Manganese was discovered IN
the community in 1886. At first

TOWN SETTLED BEFORE
CIVIL WAR

The first settler OF CuShman
was Henry Newman, who came
here before the Civil war from
North Carolina. He bought $50
acres of land which now is the
heart of the community, and set
tied here. By 1885 several other
settlers came here, and school
house was built. A year after this
was when the ore was discovered.
An eastern company, upon hear
ing of the discovery, offered to
buy or lease some of the land for
mining purposes. Soon afterward
several mines were started, and
many miners came here to work.
With the advent of war, once
more the comparatively dead little
town would renew its "life." The
world seeks to prevent such a
catastrophe. but the residents of
Cushman realize it would mean
prosperity.

Sanitary District Plans
to Spend $l60,400

Considerable impetus has been
added to the pollution elimination
program for the Potomac River
and its tributaries by the an
nouncement of the washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
that it contemplates the expendi-
ture Of $164, 400, in cleaning up q
number of streams in the nearby
Maryland area which 1t serves.
T. Howard Duckett, chairman
OF the commission, declared last
night the plan now under consid-
Grafton by the sanitary commits
sion will materially improve the
condition of Rock Greek and other
small streams in Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties.
WILL CONNECT MAINS
The program now under consid.
Grafton calls for the expenditure
Of more than $4,000 to conect the
Little Falls Valley sewer main with
the District lines for disposal in
Washington, and an additional
$65,7OO for the extension of sewers
in the AnacoStia River Valley,
Duckett said.
Abner L. Roe, leader of a fight
by the Izaak Walton League for
purification of the entire Potomac
Basin, commended the commits
sion on it's decision, but added
that this is only about one-tenth
of what should be expended by the
commission to properly handle the
situation.
SEEKS WPA FUNDS
Efforts to clean up pollution con-
ditions in the Potomac watershed
have also born fruit as Secretary
Of the Interior Ickes pointed out
% towns and cities in Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Virginia and
Maryland have either filed, or are
considering filing, PWA applica-
tions for loans to construct sewage
disposal plants.
In addition to this, Secretary
1ckes pointed out that many COM
mercial establishments along the
Potomac River have started ex-
tensive surveys for pollution elimi-
nation.
Some $4,00O,OO0 worth of work
remains to be done on the sewage
disposal system to insure an end Of
pollution from the District Of Co
lumbia, it was pointed out, and
this can be financed by a PWA
grant of $4,000, 900, to be repaid
over a 30-year period, and grant
Of $1,000,000, if the District Com

SENATE INCREASES
QUOTAS ON COTTON
Boosts for Tobacco Also
Approved Under 1888
A. A. A. Act.
BY the Associated Press.

Increases in cotton and tobacco
quotas under the new farm act won
approval Of the Senate yesterday along
with number of other amendments
to the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1888.
The quota increases amounted to
4 per cent for cotton and tobacco
above totals previously announced by
the Secretary of Agriculture. Z
Senators said this added about
100000 acres to the cotton acreage
Of about 25,000,000 acres and about
28000,000 pounds to the flue- cured
tobacco quota of 705,OOo,OO0 pounds.
Chairman Smith, Democrat, OF
South Carolina. Of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee said the changes
were needed because previous limi-
tations of the bill worked hardships
on certain areas, especially border
counties Of the cotton belt, where the
percentage of cotton land was small
compared with acreage of other crops.
Senator Smith also obtained Senate
approval for payment of SIPS bounty
bale to cotton growers who sur
rendered title to cotton under Gov
eminent loan to the Commodity
Credit Corp.
This substituted for q previous at
tempt in the original act to pay q 2
cents a pound, $40 bale, bonus for
surrendering title to loan cotton.
Senator Smith said about 5,000, 900
bales Of cotton now were under the
Government loan of 6 to 8 cents q
pound on the 1887 crop.
Because this cotton transfer provi-
sion was not included in amendments
that passed the House the Senate
measure now goes back to that cham
Der with Joint conference expected.
Senators George, Democrat, OF
Georgia, and Andrews, Democrat, of
Florida, said the tobacco amendment
was intended to assist In correcting
"a serious situation" in Florida and
Georgia tobacco areas.
Senator George said Georgia would
get about tenth Of the national
quota.

even preventing its ultimate enact
ment. There will be opportunity
when the House debates those parts
of the measure which the House has
not yet discussed. There will be fur
ther opportunity in the conference be-
tween House and Senate to reconcile
the two versions of the measure
passed by the two chambers. There
will be yet further opportunity in the
final roll calls, in both chambers, on
adoption of whatever is the ultimate
conference report.
During the many days of debate
in the Senate there has been obvious
increase of disquiet about the meas
ure. A large number of leaders of
thought throughout the country have
come to think the measure is acutely
dangerous. A considerable portion of
the public has come to feel a vague
disquiet.
Usually Precludes Action.
Ordinarily, when this kind of feel
ing arises, under a condition like the
present, the measure in question Is not
enacted. For it is commonly easy,
comparatively, to make the negative
win whenever the measure in question
Is an innovation. The negative COM
monty wins, because in addition to
the clear-cut opposition there arises
in the public mind a large quantity
of doubt, expressing itself in an atti-
tude which says. in effect, Lets do
nothing, it can wait"
Assuming that the measure is as
dangerous as many thoughtful persons
believe it to be, why is there any like
lihood of the Senate passing it on
Monday? Why are there not enough
Senator's sharing this sense Of danger
to defeat the measure? If there were
enough Senators to defeat the court
measure. why are there not enough to
defeat the present measure-especially
since it is easier and safer now to
oppose the President than last July,
when the court measure was de-
feated?
The answer lies in the state of mind
OF marginal group OF Democratic
Senator's who are enough to determine
the majority, and who are disposed to
vote for the measure.
The bulk Of the support for the
measure comes, of course, from thick
and-thin administration Senator's. But
these are by no means enough to pass
1t. The decisive factor is the group
OF marginal Democratic Senators who
are not thick-and-thin administration
supporters, who have no serious hesi-
fancy to vote against the administra-
ton if they feel strongly inclined to,
but who, on this measure, are dis
posed to stand with Mr.. Roosevelt.
What are the motives of this mar
ginal group? One is the wish not to
