to be the shortest crop from the state
since 1928" relates Nj. White.
But that was only the beginning

The season was Gbnormally late.

According to Mr.. White the Tar

Since both Georgia and Arkansas
were practically cleaned up before
the CarolinaS reached their peak

shipping period proved favorable

Summing up he said:
AS a whole the season brought
fairly satisfactory results to these
favored growers who escaped loss of
their crop by freeze injury, but not
without disappointment to many
carly anticipations Of yield, quality
and price. The abnormally dry pc
Rod before harvest served as a curse
to size and quality, but the result

avoidance of competitive punching

Formal Statement on Reorganization
Issued to Answer 'Misinformution'

groups. none OF them represented
at the cabinet table. The inher-
ent problems confronting them
were intensified by friction, par
ticularly within the Air Safety
Board. For five months the ad-
ministrative management divi-
sion Of the Budget Bureau made
q study at my request of the
operation Of the Authority. It
became obvious that a change
was imperative If we were to
continue to move forward In civil
aviation. Here, in simple sum-
mary. is the proposal:
/. Despite handicaps, the Fed
eral program for civil aeronautics
has now achieved a stature and
an importance which justify
bringing this program more
closely into the Federal family.
The proposal will place it within
the framework of the Depart
ment of Commerce. where it will
have a closer relationship with
the important reporting services
Of the Weather Bureau and the
essential air navigation chart
service of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey. More than that, it will
provide representation at the
cabinet table for a program of
basic significance to our national
transportation and our national
defense. Present world condi-
tions make the merit of this
phase of the proposal obvious.
2. The present five-member
authority which has received
such widespread praise remains
as an independent Civil Aero
nautics Board performing the
basic regulatory functions. 1t
will continue to appoint and con-
troll its own personnel and SUBJ
NIT its own budget.
Certain Functions Transferred
To Eliminate Blind Spot.
3. Certain of the Authoritys
functions are transferred to the
administrator to eliminate a blind
spot created by the failure of the
Civil Aeronautics Act of 1893 to
carry out the intention of Con.
gress to distinguish clearly be.
tween the functions of the ad.
ministrator and the Authority.
4. The function of investigating
accidents is transferred to the
Civil Aeronautics Board, which,
unlike the present Air Safety
Board, will not. be helpless to
take positive steps toward pre-
venting the recurrence of acci-
dents. Unlike the Air Safety
Board, the Civil Aeronautics
Board will have the power to pre-
scribe air safety rules. regula-
tions and standards and to sus-
pend or revoke certificates after
hearing. Not only does this con-
tinue the present independence
of accident investigation, but it
also makes possible prompt trans
lation of findings into corrective
action.
5. Not only are We advancing
the cause of air safety by these
changes, but we will also realize
appreciable savings. Several
highly paid positions on the Air
Safety Board will be eliminated
and other economies made
possible.

{. B. Mclean, Jr., Due
10 Come Into Inheritance

Edward B. Mclean, jr., son Of the
former Washington publisher, Is
scheduled to come into an Inherit
ance of some 100000.
This became known today when
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue OF
District Court signed an order max
ing this possible. Mr.. McLean's 8
mother, Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean,
and Nugent Dodds. substitute trus-
tees OF trust fund created by the
will of Marie Edwards Beale asked
the court for permission to sell cer-
tain securities so that he might get
hts share, which is about 100000.
On July 20 last, Mr.. Mclean be-
came 21 years Of age and entitled
to his share of the trust fund, the
court was told, but he asked that the
investments be held intact until he
made demand for his share. He has
now made such a demand and in or
der to make distribution, 1t is neces-
sary to sell the stocks, the court was
informed.
Accordingly, Justice ODonoghue
signed an order authorizing sale Of
the stocks.

This Is President RooseDelt's
formal statement defending his
order placing the CiDtl Aeronau-
tics Authority, notD an independ-
ent agency, IN the Commerce De-
pdrtment:.
Since the transmittal of reor-
ganization plans Nos. III and w
a flood of misinformation has
engulfed those sections dealing
with the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority. Much of this has fallen
of its own absurdity and needs no
comment. This morning, how
ever, we saw group of well-in-
tentioned people stalking out an
exclusive claim to q so-called
lobby to save lives"
The implication that we are not
interested in saving lives, which
is certainly contradicted by the
record of our progress in civil
aviation during recent years,
compels me to restate in simple
terms the basic features of the
reorganization plans affecting
the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
I might say here that every
body is for the abstract idea Of
reorganization in the interest of
increased efficiency and econ
omy. However, there is rather
diScouraging collapse of enthu-
siasm when concrete proposals
are made. In selfish protection
of their own special interests we
always find particular groups who
hitherto favored reorganization
arising in protest.

Here to Have
|Own Election

As the presidential campaign
reaches its final days, students Of
Mount Vernon Seminary have
launched private campaigns for
three candidates.
Looking toward a model election
on Tuesday, when voting is to be
on the merits of the campaigning
rather than personal political con-
victions, campaign managers have
been appointed for the Democratic,
Republican and Socialist candidates.
Family relations may have been
strained when daughters of stanch
supporters of one party have been
called on to campaign for the op-
posing candidate. The idea, it was
indicated, is to illustrate the func-
tioning of the American electoral
system.
School groups, even including the
faculty and servants, have been
allotted electoral votes in propor-
ton to their numbers. Brief cam
paign speeches are made, posters
and handbills overlap each other
on bulletin boards and buttons are
pinned on every shoulder
On Tuesday class officers will
supervise the balloting and the
often confusing election of the
presidential electors is expected to
become a clearer reality as the va
rious groups cast their votes.
