Wheeler SCORES
COTTON SALARIES
Threat to institutions Seen
in Corporation Officials
Pay.
By the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon.
tana declared yesterday that large
salaries collected by some corporation
officials and others were . direct
threat to institutions OF our country" !"
The Westerner's comment came
after E. r. Creekmore told the Senate
Agriculture Committee he had been
paid from $25, 900 to $4,000 = year
for managing the American Cotton
Cooperative for the last seven years.
NO wonder these poor devils Of
farmers are broke" Senator Wheeler
said when investigators for the COM
mittee testified the A. c. c. A. had
paid $6,524,437 to officers in recent
years and less than $500 900 in patron
age dividends to cotton farmers.
"Gouging" Assailed.
Mr. Creekmore said he made $97 900
profit one year as An independent cot
ton merchant prior to going with the
cooperative. and added:
Strange rs it may seem, thought
I was making a sacrifice going with
the cooperative"
Unless people like you and some
others who have been gouging the
farmers are willing to make some sac
rif1ces then there is a question in my
mind that our institutions can carry
on" Senator Wheeler replied.
Il presume that Mr.. Sloan (Alfred
P. Sloan, chairman Of the board)
thinks he is making a sacrifice when
he takes down the tremendous bonuses
from General Motors They all feel
the same way. I tell you that this
thing has got to stop"
The committee is investigating op-
erations of the cooperative. which
has received millions of dollars IN Gov
ernment loans.
Salary List Presented.
Mr.. Creekmore presented the salary
list of last year to the committee. 1t
showed he received s35 900, that % Of
ficials drew more than 5000 and a
more than 50 400.
Mr.. Creekmore said that consider
ing responsibility and experience" Of
flcials Of the cooperative ARE paid
less than those In the private trade
Salaries of other A. c. c. A. officials
were listed as follows: E. H. Saer, sl2.-
+ 900; c. G. Henry, $4,000; George S
Whitman. $4,000; P L. Sarrat, $4,000
and Sam Bass. $500, with an ad-
ditional 5000 annually from An afIili-
ated Louisiana State cooperative.
Karl Karsten, committee statistician
said the paronage dividend of $353,575
to 250, 900 farmer members would aver
age less than $l2l q farmer.
Ofsetting this, Karsten testified
was an estimated loss of $4,000, ,0OO
from asserted underclassing Of cotton
that went into Government pool and
loan after being classed by the Coop
erative.

were known to be anti-cancerous.
Good Results Obtained
When the disease is local and is
treated by a combination OF sur
gerry and radiation, good results are
obtained in a very large series OF
cases after a five-year period. In
fact. the results in cancer OF the
breast, if intelligent treatment is
instituted promptly after the dis
covery of lump, are just as good
as the results obtained In any
chronic disease. and a great deal
better than the results obtained In
most chronic diseases.
A great many people, like my
correspondent, delay because they
feel the lump can be explained
away in a simple fashion. It is
very easy to satisfy an apprehen-
sive mind in this way and to waste
the precious days in which 1t would

be possible to promise q cure abso-
lutely. Others feel that they can
not bear to have the diagnosis OF
cancer made. But the whole es-
sence Of the successful treatment
of cancer depends upon prompt ac-
ton in the early stage.
It is no longer true that the dag
nosis of cancer Of the breast neces-
sarilv carries with it the implica-
ton Of a fatal outcome, and the i'm
portant thing is to utilize the meth

available, and which have proved
so successful, at the very earliest

Civil Service Commission
Answers Proposal for

Increase Of the number Of mon
merit" positions in the Federal Com
munications Commission, as proposed
by Chairman Frank r. McNinch of
that body, would not be in conformity
with the Presidents executive order
Of June "a last, President Harry B.
Mitchell, chairman of the United
States Civil Service Commission, told
commissioners T. A. M. Craven and
George Henry Payne, in q letter.
Joint Protest Made.
Both OF these commissioners sent
joint letter to the civil service body
on October 7, protesting against the
action of Chairman McNinch in seek
ing to have examiners, lawyers and
confidential clerks removed from the
protection of the civil service laws.
They asked that consideration on the
matter be delayed by the Civil Sery-
Ice Commission until the full COM
munications body could consider the
matter.
President Mitchell told the two pro-
testing commissioners that if the
letter Of Chairman McNinch "is not
the official expression of the Federal
Communications Commission, the Civil
Service Commission should be prompt
ly advised"
THE Executive order of June "a,
Evening star., 1938-10-18

1885," President Mitchell said in his
letter, clearly has two detectives: Q)
the extension Of the competitive merit
system to include large number Of
positions now exempt from COMPETE
ton and CD the furtherance Of 4
career system in the Federal Govern
ment by increasing the number Of
higher positions brought within the
range Of the merit system. There is
no purpose whatsoever in the executive
order to increase the number Of cx-
empt positions; and although the Civil
Service Commission has not reached
decision with respect to the specific
recommendations made by the individ-
ual departments and independent es-
tablishments, 1t may state in this con-
nection that it believes it would not
be obeying the direction of the Presi-
