Hedge Selling From
Spot Interests and

Nv the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Cotton fu-
lures declined for the fourth con-
secutive session today under hedge
selling by spot interests and the
South. Final quotations were off
to 7 points.
Hedging pressure was backed up
by liquidation in March prior to
first notice day February 25.
Brokers said current hedging ap-
peared to represent sales against
spot cotton and equities in Govern
merit loans which have hitherto
been unhedged. These offerings
were believed stimulated by the pos
sibility the Liverpool market might
close. which would probably divert
much hedging to the local ring.
Worth Street textile dealers esti-
mated the weeks sales of print
cloths and similar items about
equalled current production. Most
business, however, centered on
heavier goods for use by the indus

Justice Department and
BMI Reach New Accord

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-P -
The justice department announced
today an agreement with Broadcast
Music, Inc, defining antitrust law
restraints, and declared again its in
tention of pressing criminal pro-
ceedings against BMI's rivaf the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
BMI, formed by radio interests
which refused to meet the price and
conditions asked by ASCAP for
rights to perform the music it con
trolls, signed a civil decree agree
ing to refrain from certain activi-
ties considered illegal by the JUS
tice department. In consideration
of this, the department will with
draw its previously announced
prosecution against two major radio
chains, NBC and CHS, as well as
BMI.
The decree will be submitted to
the federal district court in Mil
waukee, Wis, on February 8 for
approval but it will not take effect
until similar restraints have been
imposed upon ASCAP, either by a
similar decree or litigation. Justice
department negotiations with
ASCAP broke down a month ago.

Canada Seeks Return
OF ESCAPED Nazi Pilot

OGDENSBURG, N. Y, Jan. 81
Up Baron Franz Won Werra,'
youthful Nazi aviator, has been
charged with theft by Canadian pro-
vincial police in a move interpreted
by authorities here as an effort to
return the escaped pilot to Canada.
Polio Chief Herbert S. Myers said
today a warrant filed with him by
Constable Alex Macleod of Prescott,
Ont, charged the Baron with theft
of a $35 boat, with which he crossed
the st. Lawrence river last Friday
night into the United States.
The chief asserted he obtained the
warrant Saturday night, several
hours after Won Vera, released in
$4,000 bond on an illegal entry
charge, left Odensburg for New York
city. The warrant, he added, has not
been served as far as he knows.
Constable Macleod has not asked for
extradition.

Authoritative Source Says
Broughton Intends to Sup
port Reform Measure

RALEIGH, Jan. 27.-GP-An au-
thoritative source said tonight that
Governor Broughton planned to sup
port a proposed legislative bill which
would reorganize the membership of
the state board of conservation and
development.
This source explained that the gov
ernor's plan was to make the board
representative of the various services
of the conservation department,
which deal with commercial fisheries,
game and inland fisheries, minerals,
forests, parks, industries and certain
other things.
Thus, on the reorganized board,
members would be appointed to rep
resent commercial fisheries, game
and inland fisheries, and so forth.
1t was not learned how many men
would represent each service, but the
general impression was that the
board would be made larger than its
present membership of -.
The source, pointing out that Gov
ernor Broughton favored the princi-
pal of appointments which expired
with the term of the governor, said
the reorganization bill would provide
for concurrent four-year terms for all
members.
If the bill is passed, the new con.
servation board would go out of Of
flee as a body at about the same time
as Broughton, and the plan would
allow the next governor to choose his
own board.
Broughton already has stated that
he will ask the legislature for the
four-year procedure in setting up
terms for the highway commission
which is slated to be reorganized.
Under the conservation board bill,
the terms Of all II of the present
members probably would be terminal
ed, the source said, but some If the
present members would be almost
certain to be reappointed by Brough-
ton.
At present, terms of office of board
members are for six years, and terms
are staggered SO that four will expire
this year, four in 1943 and four in
1915.
Members of the present board are
Sanford Martin and Thurmond
Chatham of Winston-Salem, Walter
Lambeth and Coleman w. Roberts
OF Charlotte, J. L. Horne. Jr., of
Rocky Mount, Col. J. w. HARRISON
of Raleigh, E. I. Bugg Of Durham,
