NATIONS GOLD STORE TO FLOW FROM TREASURY
Morgenthau Announces New Plan, Releasing
 Metal to Banks

WASHINGTON, Feb. I4.-Secre- tary of Treasury Morgenthau today announced partial abandonment of the Treasury's gold sterilization program.
 The Treasury head announced a new plan under which up to $400,- 100000 worth of gold which may come into the United States in any year, will be permitted to flow to the nations credit base
 The move will relieve the Treas ury of the trouble and expense of borrowing money to pay for the gold and keep it inactive.
 The plan will be retroactive of January l, and approximately $3O,- 100000 in gold acquired by the Treasury since then and not in cluded in the inactive gold fund will be deposited in the Federal Reserve System.
 Immediately $1 ,223 ,0O0, 900 in gold now in ths Treasury's inactive fund will become frozen at least tenn porarily.
 Action on the new plan was undertaken by Morgenthau with the approval of the Federal Re- serve Board, although the new pro- gram was learned not to be reserve system.
 Federal officials declined to give opinions as to the effect the policy might have on business credit or related matters.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb l4-When the President recommended at a press conference that it would be worthwhile for the nation to study the British labor act he empha- sized that he was not sponsoring adoption of similar system in the United States.
 It is likely enough that neither labor nor employer, in their present state of mind, would sleep quietly at night with such legislation on the books.
 In the 1927 trade disputes act, which was enacted in the fury Of public resentment at the general strike of 1926, is section outlawing sympathy strikes" In America, sympathy strikes-or the threat of them-have been one of labor's most powerful tools. AS recent sample it may be recalled that during John L. Lewis's organizing campaign in big steel' it was repeatedly pointed out that supporting strike might be called in the captive" tsteel company owned) coal mines n event a steel wage settlement prov ed difficult Such threat would be barred under the British act. MASS PICKETING BANNED
 Again, the British act outlaws strikes intended to influence the government. Yet it will be recalled that in the United States it was a threat of a possible coal strike which pried the first Guffey coal control act through Congress two years ago, leaving the Supreme Court the job of throwing it out.
 The British act outlaws picketing on the American style. The act permit picketing, of course, but not in such numbers or in such man.

EXPECT FARM BILL
TO INCREASE HOGS
Matter Becomes of Primary Import
alace to North CarOlinss,
Scott Declares
Daily Dispatch Bureau,

Willard, March 21-Commissioner
of Agriculture w. Kerr Scott told
farmers at the first Swine Day" pro-
gram at the Department of -Agricul-
lures coastal plain test farm here to-
day that passage of the farm bill
makes hog production of primary
economic importance to North Caro-
lima farmers"
"Production of corn will undoubt-
edly be increased this year on the
acres diverted from tobacco and cot
ton, and the fact that corn usually
gives greater returns when marketed
through hogs than when sold on the
market opens wider avenues for the
farmer to supplement his income
Scott said.
The commissioner said that "hogs
utilize concentrated feeds-such as
corn and soybeans- efficiently
than any other farm animals" add
ing that this being true, farmers
should adopt more efficient methods
Of production and marketing if they
are to compete with corn belt farm
ers who produce livestock feeds in
volume at a relatively low cost"
But Commissioner Scott warned
Tar Heelia hog producers that "the
cost of producing 100 pounds of pork
as compared with its market value
is the most favorable today in many
years, which means a rapid expan-
sion in hog production throughout
the country may be expected within
the next II months adding that "a
profit from hogs in the months
ahead can only be expected for the
farmer who employees efficient pro-
duction and marketing methods"
He said that parasites and dis
eases are extracting a heavy toll from
the income of North Carolina hog
PRODUCERS, and looking toward min
imizing and eventual eradication OF
this problem, the State Department
Of Agriculture has already taken
steps to give the farmer greater pro-
lection from contagious and infec-
tious diseases of livestock"

The state AAA office is now APP

quotas among the individual grow
ers.
The county committees have been
instructed to consider the size of the
farm, past production, size of the
family, amount to equipment, suit
ability of the farm to cotton or to-
bacco production, and other condi-
tions that may be involved.
A growers cotton marketing quota
will be all the cotton he. can grow on
his allotted acreage
The tobacco marketing quota will
be figured by multiplying the number
