Speaks with Difficulty.
The Senator speaks with some
difficulty, because he cannot wear
his lower dental plate until recent
mouth operation heals.
In Mississippi and many other
Southern States. when on one gets
a majority of the votes in the first
Democratic primary, the two top
candidates enter a run-of. In the
1912 Mississippi run-of the race
was between Mr.. Doxey and Senator
Eastland
Mr.. Wall said that after the first
primar ythe headquarters of both
remaining candidates were Jockey
ing for position" in the run-off.
Campaign Moves Explained.
Mr.. Wall said that Mr.. jackson
and Robert Candy, two of those
who were working with Senator
Biloo for Mr.. Doxey, told him that
If he would help their side they
would try to give him $4,000 for
campaign purposes. MIR. Wall paused
to observe that he did not know
at that time about the $4,000
campaign fund.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York wanted to know if it was
customary for winners in first
primary to absorb the campaign ex-
penses of the losers.
Mr.. Wall drew laughter when he
replied that he had only lived in
Mississippi for Is years. He said he
was a native North Carolinian and
in the 1912 race they tried to say I
was Republican"
Mr.. Collins, who knocked wit
ness from the chair Friday for in
timating that the former Represent
ative had been party To deal to
swing support to Mr.. Doxey in the
runoff, denied taking any part in
the second primary. Mr.. Collins
gave his version of meeting which
took place in his hotel suite after
the first primary.
Witnesses Sought.
Mr.. Collins told Senator Ferguson
that when he heard Senator Bilbo
was coming to see him he tried to
get as many witnesses in the room
as he could, because knew Bill
boz
What do you mean by that?''
asked Senator Ferguson. se
"Well, I've had a good deal of po-
litical experience with that indivi-
dual for IS years" Mr.. Collins re-
piled.
In addition to having one or two
of his supporters in the room, Mr..
Collins said he had his secretary,
Miss Lura Harrison, in an adjoining
room with the door open to take
notes.
Miss Harrison said she had been
unable to find the notes, but related

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-Berliners, al
|ready blue-lipped and shivering from,
the weather, awoke yesterday to
their coolest day of the season to
learn that their supplies Of electric
power will be reduced another 20
lper cent.
For many inhabitants this means
that they may not have single
lhot meal daily. Power cuts already
had been in effect for at least one
lof the three peak periods morn
ling, noon and evening. On top OF
that, Germans are on quotas which,
liz exceeded, can be penalized by
tstoppage OF current altogether or
by jail sentences and fines.
In this situation, laundry in Ber-
| lin homes must remain unironed.
Electric heaters in chill houses are
Iout Of the question. Professional
people are given q small extra allow
ance of current so that they may
i read at night, but most homes are
largely in darkness.
As the nights grow longer, Ber-
liners have little choice but to &c
| to bed at pm. Candles are unob-
tainable in any legitimate stores
On the black market they cost rs
cents each, the equivalent Of the
average daily wage, and still are
hard to find.
While the Allies talk about re-
storing German industry, the new
power cuts mean 20 per cent less
transportation, and as much as q
40 per cent reduction In some cate
gories of compercial use.
Coal is the chief problem. The
Berlin power companies already ART
idrawing on their stocks at the rate
i of 10000 tons a month. Any winter
tie-up in coal trains from the Ruhr
will bring an immediate crisis.
Some husbands are taking home
fuses to work with them, so that
their wives cannot use vacuum
cleaners or even cook during the
lday.

RY the Asseeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Percy s.
Howe, president of the American
Thread Co., New York, yesterday
was elected chairman Of the board
of the Cotton Textile Institute. He
succeeds Hugh M. Conner.
Other officers elected at the con-
clusion of the Goth anniversary
meeting of the institute were How
ard P. Claussen, vice president of
the Bemis Bag Co. of Boston, and
Walter S. Montgomery, president of

were reelected.
At the final session Of the two
day meeting speakers cautioned the
textile industry representatives OF
coming competition both from other
fibers in the home market and low
priced foreign cotton in world mar
kets.
Fears Reduction in Use.
A. w. Zelomek, president of In
ternational Statistical Bureau, pri-
vate research firm, told the group
that while consumption of all types
of fibers should average about so
per cent higher than prewar in
the three to five years beginning in
1945, not more than two thirds OF
the total would be cotton. This COM
pares with three fourths of total
consumption before the war.
"The war; the stable price Of
rayon and the success of the cotton
bloc in constantly securing higher
prices for the grower are responsible
for this drastic change in the dis
tribution of fiber consumption" MIR.
Zelomek said.
Describing the near-term outlook
for the industry as "unfavorable, -
he said there would be great op-
portunities for individual mills" on
long-range basis.
Foreign Production Rises.
P. K. Norris, principal marketing
specialist for the Agriculture De-
partment ONCE of Foreign Agricul-
tural Relations, said increasing for
eign cotton production makes it
plain that the American cotton
growers will have to compete for
any foreign market they hope to
attain.
Cotton growers of India, Russia,
China, Brazil, Egypt and many
other countries will set the price Of
cotton in foreign markets-not the
United States farmers" Mr.. Norris
said.
He added that a moderate volume
of cotton above domestic require
ments might be sold abroad, but
a foreign market for all the surplus
cotton this country can grow can
not be found without some form OF
Government aid"
