GONE TO HEAVEN
Dedicated to Mary InturrisD

NDeulcaLeu tO MdIy AdtutA LSb Together we've spent many happy
 hours Watching the birds and plucking
 the flowers, Walking up and down the street And talking to friends we'd meet. We spent many day together Sharing the sunshine and stormy
 weather. Her cheerful smile greeted every
 one; Her eyes sparkled like the shining
 sun. But now she has from me departed And unlinked a friendship we long
 ago started. She will always live within my
 heart: Those sweet memories of her VIII
 never part. She meant so very much to me: A friendship deeper than the deep
 est sea. Though she again I'll never see. our friendship will last 'til eteT-
 nity. Her name gill be on my lips as kneei t0 pray; m remember her as she was on
 her parting day. she looked like an angel from out
 0f the blue. Some day r9l join her and our
 fflendkhlp renew.

King Cotton Slowly Dying. Bonk Warns
 Production Costs
 Reduction Gould
 Solve Problem

Boston, March 3V-' tUP) - King Cotton's fate, jeopardized by Cover. nent price. fixing, subsidies, in' creased foreign production and competition Of synthetic flherS, 'is of deep national concern" the First National Bank Of Boston reported today,
 In It's current New England let- ter. the bank declared that after IS years of Government aid, raw cotton Is in desperate condition requiring such drastic remedy that 1t may not be politically feasible to carry 1t out"
 "UnGer the protection of the American price umbrella" the let- ter said, total foreign production, which in 1920 was about one-halt as much aS American output, in the 30s was over one-fourth more, World consumption Of American cotton during the sos declined by seven per cent while use of foreign cotton gained around 30 per cent,
 Continuation of the Administra- tionS price support policy may cause the virtual elimination of our mills from the cotton goods export market when the foreign cotton textile industry, with cheaper labor and lower-prieed cotton, Is re. stored "In other words" the bank said, both our raw material and fnished goods are being driven out of world markets"
 Synthetlcs Complete
 On synthetic competition, the letter said that IS years ago the price of rAyon staple fiber was more than Ave times as much aS raw cotton, Now 1t is about two cents less, In 1887, the use Of cotton In the tire cord business was 3 times as much as rayon, By io45, it was only 50 per cent more,
 Exjeeted expansion In rayon and other synthetic flberS, plus eonnpeti- ton from Ilon.toxtile products such as paper and glass fiber, will be serious threat to raw cotton, the bank pointed out
 The only solution Of the cotton problem, the letter added, that goes to the root of the trouble Is the proposal to reduce sharply the cost of production and allow the price of American cotton to And It's natural level In world markets"
 Need Modern Shift
 This would mean drastic shift to full modern meehanization, and the concentration of cotton-grow- ing in the low-eost producing areas. plan that would involve ex- penditureS of several billion dollars to compensate those who are to be displaced and transported else where, and an additional subStan- tial amount in the form of loans to the remaining farmers for eX- panSion and machinery the bank said.
 While proponents admit the plan is costly, the bank said, they con- tend 1t would eventually not only stop the drain on the treasury but also when completed would place raw cotton on a sound basis"
 No segment of our economy is more important than cotton since 1t furnishes a livelihood for one tenth of our population. and in the past constituted our most import ant export" the letter added.

 End of Draft Affects Novy
peacetIme Strength Of Sea Forces Due To Dc Reached Sept. |

7. Washington, March 3o--tuP)-- Vice Admiral Louis r, Denfeld, '-Chief of Navy Personnel, said yeS- terday the Navy will be able to get along with volunteers after Sept i, but he feared the affect of termin. ation of the draft act on the Navy's recruiting before that date,
 Denfeld testified before Senate Military Affairs Committee hear. ings on whether the draft act should be continued beyond It's prelent May l5 expiration date.
 "The big question:" he said "is the effect that the Selectlve Serv- ice Act has on voluntary enlist ments.
 Dread Drafting
 T feel that we get many boys from iT to % now due to the fact that they know that fl they don't enlist in the Navy they will bo drafted into the Army. fear that fl Selective Service Act is not con. tinued we are not going to get these desirable young men,"
 Deneeld said recruiting officers report that many of their voluntary enlstees say the draft Is factor in their decision to volunteer Tor Navy service.
 He said the Navy hopes to reach its peaeetime strength Of s00000 enlisted men by Sept. l, The Navy now gets HOO month through SAlectiye Service
 "if the draft act was continued to Sept. 1, would you be over the hill9" asked by Sen, Edwin c, John son, (D., Colo)
 Hopes For 5OO,0OO
 We hope to have our postwar Navy of 5O0000 Set by that date and hope to go along then on a voluntary basis to take care Of the needs of attrltion," Denfeld replied, 1. He estimated that the Navy would need 5000 to 10000 men a month after Sept to maintain the 5000 figure. He said he be- . lieved all of them could be obtain cd through volunteers.
 Then the Navy Is not likely to need Selectlve Service beyond Sept. l." Johnson Sugges ted.
 That is the way we feel Den. field said.
 Strong Army and Navy arsu. ments softened some congressional opposition to draft extension. Some important legislators admitted they were impressed but hesitated to speak publicly until showdown comes.

referred to as "the national housing

for themselves and their families.
Powerful vested interests, some
within the labor movement, are
blocking a realistic approach to the
housing problem. The UAW is for
brushing them all aside regardless,
and building functional houses at
low cost"
The singleness of purpose display
ed during the war among allied ma
tions, as we'll as between labor and
management, is ripping out at the
seams, both at home and abroad,
Reuther believes. "To unite for the
positive ends of peace, as solidly as
we did for the negative ends of war,
will require a little eating of hum
BILE pie and some reversals in think
ing, but, if the effort is made, we
can mobilize the human family
around the good things of life, and
divide abundance as equally in the
future as we have attempted to
divide scarcity in the past"
Concluding, Reuther stated "The
real answer to Labor-Manageemnt
relationships is for both to accede
the fact that the problems involved
are human problems. We need more
