as Melrose alderman.
He joined the A. P. staff in Boston

hand was in big news.
A red letter day for French was

from a walk with their young

Finding the apartment door locked,
Mrs. Bentley summoned a friend,

was gained by opening a screen and

NEW YORK, July 3l.-Forty years
OF newspaper work, many of them
in important and exciting roles,
end today for Harry French, retiring
day west wire editor OF the Asso-
ciated Press.
That prosaic title means that
French has directed the operation
of the biggest news wire circuit in
the world-a pulsating and almost
instantaneous vehicle of news which
IN recent years has been extended
over approximately $4,000 miles. To-
day it not only weaves westward
but forks up and down the Pacific
Coast and loops into New England
and the South from the New York
home office.
Unless an unforeseen flash or bull
letin delays action for a few seconds,
Mr.. French will issue the order
give 'em 30" to his operator on
this trunk circuit promptly at 4
pm. today-for the last time in his
career.
Retires on Pension.
AS the phrase thirty on the day
report speeds many. many times
faster than a bullet into the Office
OF about 1000 afternoon papers,
Mr.. French is likely to take sharp
er bite than usual in his everpresent
corncob pipe. Ordinarily it simply
means so long until tomorrow.
But at that moment today Mr..
French, So years old, in the best of
health and with only a few vagrant
gray strands in his red hair, retires
on an A. P. pension.
1t marks the end of 20 years and
81 days of service to the Associated
Press. For more than 13 years
since January II, 1926-he edited

By the Associated Press,

ATLANTA, July 81. Georgia
bright leaf tobacco growers swung
into action today behind 4 deter
mined s-point program designed to
bolster sagging prices at State mar
kets.
The program was formulated by
grower representatives who met last
night with Gov. E. D. Rivers in q
6-hour conference at the execu-
tive mansion 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 4 to II cents a pound
under 1898 averages, and called on
farmers Ito market their tobacco in
an orderly fashion"
A written statement of the pro-
posed action also accused the to-
bacco industry of "collusive buying"
1t said the United States Attorney
General would be asked to investi-
gate "the question of collusive buy
ing and monopolistic practices and
the violating of the antitrust laws
by the tobacco industry"
Three Sent to Washington.
The statement said there was
every evidence" of such practices.
A three-man committee was sent
to Washington to lay the plight of
Georgia growers before Federal
farm officials.
The committee left Atlanta by
plane early today to confer with
officials OF the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration in an effort
to obtain parity prices for the re-
mainder of the Georgia crop this
season.
The program outlined at the con-
ference also urged immediate pas
sage of an amendment to the 1898
Crop Control Act that would make
possible an immediate referendum
on market control measure for the
1910 crop-a step growers said would
better current prices through as
surance to buyers of smaller crop
next year.
Wide Campaign Planned.
Further, it delegated the three
man committee to ask the Surplus
Commodity Corp. to purchase such
surplus as may exist in the tobacco
belt" in order to give tobacco farm
ers the same benefits" as the pro-
ducers of other forms of commodi-
ties.
Belt-wide rather than merely q
State campaign for better prices was
contemplated.
Representatives chosen at a mass
meeting last week at Douglas, Ca,
and committeeman representing
the Statesboro Chapter of the
United Georgia Farmers constituted
