PROBLEM IN COTTON

One Of the first steps taken In
carrying out Secretary Wickard's
policy is the supplemental cotton
program under which farmers who
reduce their acreage below the 1871
national acreage allotment will be
compensated with stamps which are
good for manufactured cotton goods.
This attacks the problem of the
cotton surplus from both ends-cuts
down production and uses up the
stock by increasing the demand for
the finished product.

WASHINGTON, Feb Now it can be told:
 With th- possible exception of the visit of the King and Queen of England. there never have been such elaborate precautions here as were taken 10 guard President Roosevelt at his Inaug ural. .
 Under the direction of Co onel Edmund w. Starling, who has been chief of the Secret Srvice White House details for many years, everything that has been learned in all the Inaugurals since l789 was put into practice.
 A most 5000 extra men were brought into Washington to guard against any eventuality Working with the District of Col umbia Metropolitan police under Major Ernest w. Brown, super intendent, these men ranged from crack traffic squads of a score of cities to details from the United States Marine and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investi- sation.
 There were hundreds of fire men, about 500 Marines, $50 of .aa [, st plainclothes men from very key city in the country, 4ad at least 1,600 uniformed po- ice officers.

 A man with a gun was arrested in the Court of Freedom. Colonel Starling afterwards described him 10 me as a "harm ess indiv- dual who had no other thought than h lping to guard the Presi- dent, but we have to preserve our professional standing. you know"
 I 71-year-old Spanish Ameri- cza War veteran who went about fiercely brandshing a sword was also taken into custody. A SO. another and younger man who ran about beating his br as; Ike Tarzsn and shouting President Roosevelt spends too much mon ey' was hauled off to the hoose- gov.
 Not one of these men was talk en at al seriously by the arrest is: ofl,rs ard the fact that their infringements of the peace were So minor is an illustration of how much attention was given b the most minute occurrence.

How the detectives worked may be denOstrated by repeating an incident that occurred to a friend of mine on the Capitol Plaza in front of the Inaugural stand. He's a camera fan and was in his seat before II o'clock to be sure that he had his candid camera sights
 No one had arrived yet in his row, but he had hardly gotten located before man slipped into the seat next to him, showed fri-ndly interest in his camera and discussed photography with him-incidentally making an off hand inspection of his camera.
 Tt wasn't until after the show started" says his friend. that I realized the person sitting next to me wasn't my photographic friend at all and then it dawned of me. l had b en investf- gated
 told the story later to Col onel Startling. He just smiled and said The boys didn't overlook much - but that's what 1t takes"
 And he was off to his reports. "I'll be working on them for a month or tWo,' he explained. "Thera are a lot of little kinks we want to work out before 1945."
