WALLACE QUIZ
IS PLANNED ON
CROP SURPLUS
thousand
CARS
aAAA

G.N.S.) Secretary of Agriculture
Henry a. Wallace and AAA ex
perts will be summoned before the
House Agriculture Committee in
the near future to reveal the ad-
miniStration program for diSposi
ton of huge agricultural surpluseS.
In spite of the clamor among
some groups for drastic revision
of the whole program, the COM
mittee is expected first to con
slider many schemes to cut down
SurpluseS.
LONG BATTLE SEEN
The committee swung into &C
ton today for what may be a pro
tracted battle over farm relief.
Experts of the Department OF
Agriculture and AAA are now con-
sidering many plans to dispose OF
wheat, cotton and other surplus
icrops.
Secretary Wallace, members OF
the committee said, has been in
formed that there Is no possibility
of Congress sanctioning the orig
inal "two-price system" of selling
products to poorer ,ections OF the
population at reduced price.
Instead, committee members
said. Wallaces present authority
to use 80 per cent of the tariff
receipts to facilitate sale OF prod
ucts will be continued.
RELIEF USE PLANNED
The department already has
subsidized some foreign sales OF
surplus products. Through relief
agencies, surplus commodities also
are being bought and used.
The first big problem tackled
by the committee is expected to
be the cutting down of the
II ,OOO, ,0OO-bale surplus Of cotton
held by the Government on loans.
Representative Fulmer CD OF
South Carolina, chairman OF the
cotton subcommittee, disclosed
that Wallace is much interested
in a plan devised by Fulmer to
impound surplus cotton and use 1t
through various Government
agencies"
ARMY NEEDS CITED
For example," Fulmer said,
I'VE now cover cotton with inn
ported jute. There is not cot
ton mattress in the Army or
Navy, If we provided means
by which cotton could be used
on a competitive basis with jute,
we could use 1,250,000 additional
bales of cotton each year.
Not only that, out there are
other ways in which we could
find new uses for cotton to cut
down the surplus"
Wallace also is studying plan
advanced by a cotton group to
permit cotton farmers to withdraw
cotton, on which the Government
has made loans, if farmers will
cut down production this year.
Fulmer declared that any ef-
fort to abandon the present gen.
eral program will be bitterly
| fought.

STOCK MARKET

HITLER SPEECH
Trend Is Upward Or
Half Million Shares

NEW YORK, Jan. 80 GN.S0.
The stock market rallied today,
while world financial quarters di-
gested the much-diScusSed speech
of Chancellor Hitler to the Reich
stag. Gains ran from l to points
on a broad front, although trad
ing volume contracted sharply.
Most gains we're made before
Hitler began his address. The list
stood still thereafter, holding at
the tops, waiting for the chan
cellor to complete his speech.
SPURTS TO NEW TOPS
Then, in the last few minutes
of trading, the list spurted to
new tops for the day. with activ-
ity increasing on the upswing.
Substantial gains throughout
the list were accomplished on a
full-day turnover of little more
than a half-million shares. The
trend was upward from the open
ing, the days peaks being reached
in the final hour of trading.
Bethlehem spurted 3 points,
while U. S. Steel and others in
the group gained or more.

WIDE DECLINES
While the market was not dis
orderly, it proved very vulnerable,
and high priced issues showed
wide declines in number of points.
Under the influence of reaction
ary conditions in domestic bust
ness, which naturally reduced the
resistance to declines, traders last
week were inclined to pay too
much attention to foreign affairs.
For one thing, I believe it to be
a mistake to attribute the decline
to war threats. The reaction was
so broad and general, embracing
practically all stocks, that it is
hard to see how war could explain
it. Moreover, such war stocks as
steels were among the leaders in
the decline.
BULGE" LOST
A much more reasonable inter-
probation of the general market
situation is as follows:
The wave of buying which began
in September and was sustained
until about November Is went too
far, and developed technical weak
ness. 1t began with two big gaps
in the last week of September.

mestic purposes, or for any pur- pose whatsoever, would have to carry the full crew of licensed navi- gating and engineroom officers called for in the text of the con vention. Delegate Dimond, in com pliance with the requests of Alaska fishermen, told the House Commit tee on Merchant Marine and Fish cries, when hearings were held on the bill, that unless this exemption were provided the convention would practically mean the end of the fishing industry in the Territory.
 The law just enacted takes ad- vantage of clause in the conven- tion that provides that national laws may grant exceptions or ex- emptions in respect of vessels of less than 200 gross tonnage. The legisla- tion contains a provision which states that neither the convention nor this Act making exemption for vessels under 200 tons from the re- quirements of the convention shall be deemed to alter, amend, or repeal any statute of the United States ex- isting at the time of said ratiftea- ton. or thereafter enacted. with Te- gards to any such vessel of less than two hundred tons gross regis tered tonnage.

 Greatly alarmed, and admittedly with much right to be, the measure had the support of nearly all own CTS of small boats in both the Unit ed States and in Alaska. because un- der the terms of the Officers Com potency Convention, adopted by the International Labor Conference at Geneva in 1886, provision is made requiring all vessels of more than five tons engaged in maritime com merce, with the exception of war ships. government vessels. and cer- tain primitive wooden boats, to carry a licensed skipper, navigating offi- cer, chief engineer and engineer of ficer after the convention would go into effect on October 29, l939 This would mean that under the terms of the convention every kind of water craft of five tons or over, op- erating in any part of the United States or its territories, that should go beyond the line of territorial waters for fishing purposes, for re- creational purposes, for local do-

FIRENIEN MAKE STATEMENT
ABOUT CHRISTMAS FUNDS

At the meeting Of the McConnels-
vile firemen last night. it was de-
cided that they would not put out
containers to receive money con-
tributions, as has been the custom
for the past several years, to be
used for the firemen's Christmas
baskets. Neither will there be a
solicitation for funds. However,
any organization, club, or individ-
ual who wish to make a contribu-
ton, either money Or provisions,
the same will be gladly received by
the firemen. Communicate with

mems Christmas basket fund. One
of the reasons for not putting out
containers to receive money for the
Christmas baskets, is because of the
money the fremen have already re-
ceived from the sales tax collection.
Any firm or organizat ton having
collected sales tax stamps, who
wish the fremen to have them, get
in touch at once with some member
of the fire company.
Just how many Christmas baskets
the firemen will put out this Christ
mas, is not yet known. Last year
they distributed better than $50
baskets, which went to all sections
of the county.
