WOULD BARTER
j. s. COTTON TO
OBTAIN SILVER
Senator Key Pittman Makes
Statement of His
Proposal

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. (UP)
Senator Key Pittman. D., New,
last night urged the administra-
ton to undertake a vast internal
tional plan to barter 100000
bales of domestic cotton for
1864, 100000 Of foreign silver to
protect American growers against
Imminent danger" of price
collapse because Of huge surplus
cS.
The proposal was made in a
statement issued through Pitt
mans office here.
Pittman, chairman Of the pow
erful senate foreign relations
committee and member Of the
congressional silver bloc, revealed
his plan in a detailed analysis of
the cotton situation in which he
said that New Deal efforts to
curb overproduction and artifi-
cially maintain prices had "provcn
an absolute failure"
He proposed that President
Roosevelt use powers under the
silver purchasing act to acquire
the white metal abroad in cx-
change for domestic cotton at the
ratio of 10 pounds for one ounce
of silver. Since certificates to pay
the American growers would be
issued by the treasury against the
acquired silver on the present ba-
sis Of $l.29 per ounce, the do
nestle producer would receive
1919 cents per pound for his cot
ton. This is the l9l0-l4 average
price level which the administra-
ton seeks under its new crop con-
troll program.
Pittman emphasized that the
purchasing act empowers Mr..
Roosevelt to buy silver, domestic
and foreign, until treasury stocks
reach onc-fourth those Of gold.
The treasury has been buying for
eign silver recently at AZ cents
per ounce.
Let our government trade 10
pounds Of cotton for one ounce
of silver" he said. "Such a trade
would result in our exporting 49,
100000 bales, or 100000
pounds. of cotton and importing
670,000,000 ounces of silver"
He said that domestic cotton
producers are in "imminent dan
ger" because of failure of the
farm program. The domestic car
ryover on August | was l3,400,-
600 bales, more than normal
years needs, and he said the coun-
try faces another "abnormaw
crop of 100000 bales this year.
This will force the government to
put out huge additional subsidies
to induce farmers to further re-
duce acreage, he predicted.
He branded as "silly" argu-
mentS that his plan is initiation
airy, added that at would not even
reach point of sound relation"
and remarked that a little more
silver currency" in "pockets and
tills" would not "hurt."
eff the secretary of state could
find foreign products of sufficient
volume and value that we could
profitably use in our country
without destruction or material
injury to our own industry, he
could supply Il purchasing power
abroad for all of our exports" he
said.
Pittman argued that silver is
the "only such product" and that
there are large supplies of the
white metal "hoarded" in China,
India and oriental countries
which are large users of cotton
goods. These supplies of silver are
available to other large cotton
countries such as Great
Britain, he said.
"Thc government neither makes
nor loses anything on the propos-
ed transaction" Pittman said. at

CR|FFS RELEASE
HURLER HOGSETT

Old acquaintance and days OF
auld lang syne were not forgot
ten when President Clark c. Grit
fifth released Elon Hogsett, the
Indian pitcher of the Nationals,
today.
Hogsett was shipped off to Min.
neapolis in the American Associa

Double A league.

with Minneapolis" Griff said
today, "but Mike and I were
pals in the old days. So when
the opportunity came for me to
send him player who may help
him, I jumped at the chance"
Hogsett came to the Nationals
last spring in trade with the St
Louis Browns for Ed Linke. Neither
team profited to any appreciable
extent. Linke was of as much use
to st. Louis as Hogsett was to the
Nationals.
Hogsett halls from Kansas and
won local fame as an all-around
athlete before launching his pro
fessional baseball career. He was
with the Detroit Tigers for several
years and was shipped to To
ronto. He was a. winner in the
minors and went to the Browns

BOYD PROVES
CAMENESS IN
EVERETT WIN
BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Buck Everett, the ancient trial
horse of the heavyweight division,
almost bucked idaho" Bill Boyd,
Jack Dempsey's protege, into the
grit and cinders of preliminary
bouts at Turner's Arena last night
before a house that was all too slim
for the fight it housed. But in
the seventh round, just as Boyd
was Keeling under a right hand
smash to the chin, he fired a right
of his own, and Everett went down
on his back. Buck stayed on the
canvas for the full 10 count.
Blowing a bloody foam from
a deep laceration inside of his
mouth, and dripping blood from
cash over his right eye, opened
by q left hook, Everett was led to
his corner by Harry Volkman, the
referee.
Everett intends to protest to the
commission today over the action
of Volkman, who. Everett asserts,
prevented his seconds from admin
istering to his needs between the
sixth and seventh rounds. Tech
nically, perhaps he has a claim,
but the referee acted within his
discretion under the conditions.
DRAMATIC FINALE
This dramatic finale to one of
the most terrific heavyweight
fights in recent years came after
two minutes and five seconds Of
the "lucky" round. There have
been more polished exhibitions of
boxing; greater displays of punch
ing power, and more general class
to heavyweight battles. But for
sheer courage and fury of men re-
verted to savagery, this Boyd
Everett bout will live when exhibi'
tions by greater fighters have
persisted from the memories of
those who witnessed them.
Gallant old Everett! He fought
as long as he could stand up. He
rocked and reeled under the ham
mer strokes of Boyd, but he rocked
and he reeled forward. Never
once did he take a back step un-
less he recoiled unde- the power of
blows he could not Withstand.
And at the very moment he was
knocked down he had Boyd back
on his heels, staggering and fog
eyed. Another righthand smash,
Just one more punch, and Everett
might have won.
ANYBODY'S FIGHT
But Buck didn't land that coup
de grace, and so, perhaps, destiny
defeated gallantry. We know that
Buck is not going to scale F1stl-
ana'S high plateaus. And On a line
through last nights battle, the
trail to the top may be pretty
rugged for Boyd. Bill still is
crude. He still leads with his
right hand when he is hit, and he
makes mistakes that may be cost
ly and painful before he is well
advanced in the higher brackets
Boyd is a good puncher, not ter
rifle puncher. He is a pretty good
boxer. But write it right down in
your boxing book, that Bill Boyo
Is as game an hombre as ever toed
scratch in the ring.
It was anybody's fight right
down to the last punch. The
flashing Of the lights meant very
little to Everett and even less tt
Boyd. Victory danced on the arc
