NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. %. = ar -
Cotton futures prices advanced S.
cents to $1.10 a bale today on a
wave Of mill and commission house
buying that found offerings scarce.
Earlier gains had ranged to as
much as $1.40 a bale, but profit
taking developed after the rally.
Buying was touched off by trade
discussions of future War Food
sales of cotton by the Commodity
Administration action regarding
Credit Corp, another federal agen-
cy. The question was whether tae
CCC would be permitted to sell at
parity, or would be held to present
restrictions which permit sale only
$3.50 a bale above parity.

For Second session
OF Congress

WASHINGTON, Jams - (P) -
House Republican Leader Martin
today called for Federal legisla
ton to facilitate voting by service
men and womer-an issue which
| will confront the second session
of the 18th Congress converting
Monday.
The Senate, before the holiday
recess, voted to toss the soldier
voting problem to the States.
1.-THE States will do all they cam
Martin said, but there is need
for some assistance from the Fed

Returning to Washington from
his Massachusetts home, Martin
said in an interview that 1.-The PEG
pie back home are tax conscious
and they are growing irritated a;
the bureaucrats n cutting ex
penses.'
He outlined what he considered
as must" legislation for the new
Congress, as follows:
/. Soldier vote legislation.
2. "Muster-out" pay for service
men and women. I hope legisla
ton to this end will be first or
the agenda.'
3. Tax laws must be simplified
4. Congress must dispose of the
food subsidy legislation now pend
ing before the Senate, after the
House voted to ban subsidies), and
the new tax bill (passed by the
House and now pending in the Sen.
ate.)
5. Laws to govern postwar avi-
alton.
6. Legislation to cope adequately
with postwar problems.
''This Congress-" said Martin,
the former chairman of the Re
publican N lat ional Committee,
cannot shrink from formulating
the necessary plans so tn if
peace comes we will not be caught
unprepared.
Turning to discussion of taxes,
ne said the people are willing to
pay taxes. but are not willing to
pay for hobbies and unnecessary
experiments and are complain
ing loudly about complicated tax
laws.
1.-THE Republicans can be depend
ed upon to give every possible as
sistance to the simplification Of the
tax laws" he said. It's about
time we had thorough overhaul.

MARCH OF DIMES
CAMPAIGN IS SET
Drive Will Open In New
Hanover County On
Jan. IS

The March Of Dimes will get
under way in Wilmington and New
Hanover County January IS, it was
announced at meeting Of the
committee in the Y.M.C.A., Tues
day night. at which time the Rev.
James B. McQuere was elected
chairman of the 1914 campaign
here.
]. .. Carr was elected vi C E.
chairman and Harry Dosher,
man of public relations. Plans are
being considered for the campaign
and it is expected that they will
be completed within the near fu-
ture.
This years drive will not be
conducted under a plan of general
solicitation as in previous cam.
paigns here. The annual tag day
will be observed on January 49,,
as the presidents birthday comes
on Sunday of this year. Coin boxes
will be placed in approximately
100 stores and business establish
ments throughout the city. One
large box will be on hand in the
lobby of the postoffice.
Harry Dosher, who was chair
man of last years campaign, stat
ed that the drive in 1a43 netted
only 1899 per capita. This figure
was based on the 1910 census.
Dosher said that if the total col
lection had been based on the in
flux of the county's population, it
would probably have been less than
one cent per person. And that
is pretty low he said, as some
counties in the state showed a to-
tai of more than IS cents per cap
ita.'
R. A. Dunlea, owner of Station
WMFD. has allowed the campaign
committee five minutes each day,
beginning January "a and continu-
ing through the 29th, at which
time prominent citizen will speak
on behalf of the campaign.
1t is hoped that the drive will
net at least total of ten cents
per capita. truly signifying h e
