make possible an immediate refer
endum on a market control measure
for the 1910 crop, a set which grow
ers said would improve current
prices through assurance to buyers
of a smaller crop next year.
In South Carolina, warehousemen
in the Is Border Belt tobacco
towns had completed their or
ganization, and sales floors were
cleared to receive millions OF
pounds of tobacco expected for the
opening Thursday. Additional ware
houses have been built throughout
the belt, and virtually all of the
markets are preparing for the
heaviest sales in history.
In Raleigh, N. c., E. Y. Floyd,
State AAA executive officer, pre-
dicted that North Cardinals tobac-
CO crop would bring only Is or 16
cents pound unless buyers and
producers quickly reached an
agreement on reduced acreage for

FIVE UNOFF|C|ALLY
WOULD HEAD STATE
They'll Announce Later, and
In the Meantime the Race
Is Just Understood

Raleigh, July 31-(AP)-Four
news splashes on otherwise dead
calm political waters have been
almost the only surface indications
this summer that North Carolina
Democrats will nominate new
slate of state officers within less
than a year.
Nevertheless Japan, which
is fighting numerous battles, but
hasn't declared War-five Democrats
are running for governor, but
haven't announced.
The five are ]. M. BroughtOn of
Raleigh, Mayor Tom Cooper of Will
mington, Lieut.. Gov. w. P. Horton
of Pittsboro, Revenue Commissioner
A. ]. Maxwell of Raleigh and Willis
Smith of Raleigh. All have told
friends that they are candidates.
Indications now are that some of
the candidates may not announce
until about the first of the year.
Mayor Cooper has declared that he
will be the last formal entry.
Four or five other Democrats
have been mentioned frequently as
possible candidates, but they have
not been so definite in their assur-
ances to friends as have BrOughtOn,
Cooper, Horton, Maxwell and
The principal developments to
date this summer are:
l. Announcement by State Treas
urer Charles M. Johnson that he
would not seek the gubernatorial
nomination, but would run to sue
ceed himself.
2. A statement by Revenue Com
missioner Maxwell that: 'It may be
definitely assumed that I will be a
candidate for the Democratic NOM
ination for governor next year. AL
though Governor Hoey has request
ed that no formal announcement of
candidacy be made yet, it is gen
orally assumed that l will be in the
race"
3. Announcement by L. A. Mar
tin of Lexington, three times a
member of the general assembly
that he would run for lieutenant
governor.
4. Speeches by Maxwell in which
he asserted that the State could en-
s bark on a $5O,OOO0O0 highway inn
| provement program, and increase
I the salaries of teachers and public
health workers, without raising
taxes or issuing new bonds. These
remarks were interpreted by many
observers as the planks from which
Maxwell will construct his plat
| form. -%%

At the present time prices are well
above the So percent parity level and
the 1899 crop is indicated to be con-
siderably below normal domestic and
export needs.
Officials emphasized, however, that
the government would not hesitate tc
offer loans if prices threatened to
drop below the So percent parity
level. They explained that when far
mers were asked last winter to vote
in favor of marketing quotas on this
years cotton crop, the Agriculture
Department promised to employ the

Atlanta, Ga, July 31.-(AP)-
Georgia bright leaf tobacco grow
ers swung into action today behind
determined eight-point program
designed to bolster sagging prices at
State markets. The program was
formulated by grower representa-
tives who met last night with Gov
ernor E. D. Rivers in q six-hour
conference that lasted until mid
night
Among other things, the group
postponed further consideration OF
a proposal to close warehouses as a
means Of bettering prices that
ranged from four to twelve cents 2
pound under 1888 averages, and
called on farmers "to market their
tobacco in an orderly fashion"
A written statement of the pro-
posed action also accused the topac-
co industry Of ''collusive buying"
general would be asked to inves-
tigate the question of "collusive
buying and monopolistic practices
and the violation Of the antitrust
laws by the tobacco industry" The
statement said there was ''every
evidence" of such practices.
A three-man committee was sen1
to Washington to lay the plight oi
Georgia growers before Fedora
farm officials.
The program outlined at the
conference also urged immediate
passage Of an amendment to the

tive as tong-tied clam.
When he ran in 1882 Maxwell did
not quit his post, and there is ample

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-06

Discontinuance of monthly pay ment of government insurance to parents and widows of World War veterans has resulted in deluge of inquiries as to the reason. Final payments have been made or will be made shortly to num- Der of Waterbury beneficiaries.
 As a result of the number of inquiries as well as complaints Corp. Coyle post, American Le- zion, of Waterbury has been asked to communicate with all benefici- aries or potential beneficiaries and obtain histories of the cases pend- ing. Scores of parents and widows are learning for the first time that they are entitled to govern ment compensation for the death of their sons or husbands, apart from the insurance pro- vision made by the deceased.
 Poulsen Advises
 Through the agency of the lo- cal post, Niels l.. Poulsen, chair man of the New Haven County Rehabilitation Committee, hopes to contact all beneficiaries and ob- tain official recognition for all legally entitled to same.
 His letter to the local post giv- ing information on an interest ing question, reads as follows:
 Many parents and widows are currently receiving final pay ments of war term insurance, and do not understand why those ben- efits terminate.
 If a veteran on entering World War service purchased term in- surance from the government he was protected in case of perma- nent total disability and his des- ignated beneficiary was protected in case of his death. Monthly payments of $5.75 for each $1 1000 of insurance purchased were to be paid to him throughout his lifetime if his total permanent disability continued. In case of death his beneficiary became en- titled to 240 monthly installments less the number of payments the veteran had received before death.
 Monthly Payments
 Payments are made monthly on the anniversary date of perma- nent total disability or death of the veteran. Thus if a veteran died October 1, 1918, payments were made monthly to the bene- ficiary on the first of each month and the last one was made on September 1, 1887 for the month of September, thus completing 240 installments. Many benefici- aries seem to think payments cover the preceding month, and that they are entitled to one more installment, whereas they really cover the month in ad- vance.
 Upon termination of insurance benefits, widows over age 50 or dependent parents may be en- titled to increased compensation, under the terms of Public No. BOA, the Act of August l6, 1887. Most widows or parents who were in receipt of insurance benefits were not entitled to the increase in compensation provided by that Act until their insurance bene- fits terminated.
 Some Have Not Applied
