NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK Dec. 17-P-Cot-
ton futures closed IS cents to ST.
rs a bale lower today. The mar
ket was firm in initial dealings
on mill buying, but thereafter
felt persistent pressure of New
Orleans and commission house
liquidation which gathered mo-
mentum towards the close.
Some of the selling was of a
yead end tax nature and realiz
ing sales were also encouraged
by the confusion over Washing
ton developments on commodi-
ties and the uncertainty over the
cotton export situation. Offer
ings were absorbed principally
through mill buying against tex
tile sales, but trade support was
not aggressive due to the ap-
preaching holiday lu1l in the tex
tile industry.
Army plans for purchase of
American cotton for Japan and
Korea remained vague, with
some reports that offers might
be sought before the holidays.
Exporters thought that enact
ment of the interim foreign aid
bill would expedite French buy
ing of American cotton.
Futures closed IS cents to ST.
.25 a bale lower than the pre-
vious close.

HUNDRED years ago high-schoo students were often
n assigned an elocuton piece called The Last Thoughts
of Foscue" The idea was to express the thoughts that
went through the mind of celebrated French miser who
had trapped himself and died, in the cavern where he
counted his gold
Only few months ago some millions of Americans stood
by in fascination while police searched through the boarded
impedimenta of the recluse brothers Colyer.
Every week hear of sad crone who has starved
while her hat box bulged with bank notes, old
who goes to the poohouse with fortune in his pants
1t is one thing to observe this human phenomenon
known as the mser and another to explain him He is hard
to study because he is usually found dead and ragged
body lying on heap of gold tells little Living msef
of course, seldom advertise their fortunes
We're All Part Nzissr
NEVERTHELESS there is always who will tackle
such questions This time the man Dr. Coleman
Oscar Parsons dark bespectacled drnannered teach
er of literature and composition at the College of the City
of New York DIR. Parsons has probably dug up more
information about misers and what makes them
tick than any alive The newspapers carried some
of his comments when the Colyer case was current The
public will get longer lesson the subject when Dr.
Parsons publishes the book msers which he has been
preparing for many years.
Most OF us, ne ventures, are part-tne mSerS we all
face an embarrassment of useless hats shoes and gm-
cracks We share the msers longing for security and
often toy with the idea of laying up heavily and secretly
for the rainy day Some of have sneang admiration
for the msers independence and tenacty of purpose
but for the most part dsapprove of him because he
represents degree of materialism we abhor.
Msers usually interesting, always pathetic. We do
well to avoid their example, and it is lucky for that
string saving however logged rarely leads serious
additions.
Duxisd Himself Alive
OE of the worst things about being mser is that you
often outsmart yourself Langley Coyer for example
was crushed under the burden of boobytrap he had
Frenchman buried alive because the trap door that
slammed and locked behind him was too well concealed
from those who tried find him. 1t years later,
when occupant of his house dug deep make
a wine cellar that his body and gold discovered
together.
Foscue had eaten his flesh and most of candle.
Dr. Parsons strongly suspects that his last hours widely
contemplated in schoolrooms, inspired the incident in
Tom Sawyer in which Injun Joe, trapped in with
his treasures, also resorted to eating candle stumps

Russia made a surprise propose
today for an International atomic
treaty employing a system Of
quotas for regulating each nation.

ton and power facilities.
Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyke
rejected outright the American
backed proposal for giving the
projected world atommic agency
complete control of all atomic
materials, but he offered the new
idea with a hopeful prediction
that cit may advance us toward
agreement on machinery TO,
world atomic control.
He said the quota system should
be spelled out in a especial sep
arate treaty. which would sup
plement the two other treaties de
manded by Russia to CD require
immediate destruction of all ato'
mic bombs and CD establish a
world atomic control agency with
powers to inspect and control
atomic operations.
The Russians sharply assailed
proposals which would give the
world atomic authority ownership
Of all atomic raw materials once
they were mined from the ground,

United Nations atomic energy

we abandon this idea, this en-

This was aimed chiefly at the
United States, chief advocate Of
such strong powers for the atomic
agency, but Gromyko seemed Gag.

phasizing that Russia was eager
to have a full and thorough dis

The matter was left to the city
