Cotton Is
Promoted
In County

Cotton faces a crisis in its
research program to meet its
competition with other fibers.
Research for expanded uses of
cotton by concentrating on the
development of treatmnt and
finishes that resist soiling and
that are fire-resiStant is being
carrid on. Research work is
being done on breading cottons
with greater fabrics strength.
High dinaity water resistant
cotton fabrics are also being
developed. All of these and other
new findings give promise for
expanding markets and greater
Itco1sumer demand. However,,
strong competition from man.
made fibers will continue in the
future.
If our present cotton trade
policy stays in effect, exports
are expected to at least equal
or go above the average of the
past years. On the other hand
we can expect Stronb COMPETE
ton on the world market from
foreign cottonS. Production will
continue to increase and be-
cause of the incentives and op-
ortuniteS to apply technology,
production is expected to con-
tinue to exceed demand. How
long production will continue
to exceed demand and what
means will be taken to stop the
increase in carry-over are pro-
blematical.

Pennsy Strike
Layoffs Reach
1000 in Area

Unemployment in the WASH

Pennsylvania Railroad strike
now totals about 1000 men, a
spokesman for the Washington
Terminal Co. said yesterday.
He said the terminal has laid
of 500 maintenance and yard
employees and that the rest
have been furloughed by the
Pennsylvania and the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroads.
And, he warned. the unern-
ployment total here may rise
higher If the strike continues
much longer.
Meanwhile, the Associated
Press reported, oyster packers
on the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land said the strike may lead
to higher prices on seafood
from this area.

and for INDECENT defendants an
opportunity for better counsel.
A. Kenneth Pye. the GU law
professor who has been as
signed to direct the Legal In
ternship Program, says 1t will
work this way:
Beginning october IL. the
men will join other defense
attorneys each day at the
courtroom "mourner's bench"
where they will be assigned
cases by judges in rotation
along with the other lawyers.
Unlike the other defense at
torneys. however, they will
turn down paying clients.
At night. they will study trial
tactics and strategy and earn
credits towards their degree.
They will be graded both on
classroom performance and the
quality Of their work in de-
Tending the indigents.
The men will stay in NUM-
cipal Court until January and
then will move on to District
Court for the second semester
to represent indigents in felony
cases.
In addition to their court
room and class work. they will
turn out a study on the adj
ministration Of justice in
Municipal Court.
The program, Mr.. Pye ex-
planned. officially begins tomor-
row with a one-month short
course. The interns viii spend
half of each day observing at
Municipal Court and the other
half studying District criminal
procedure and law.

SHE WAS SNUBBRD for DO

SHE WAS SNUBBED for po-

of Calhoun. who wanted to
wreck the administration.
Peggy was the beautiful
daughter Of William O'Neale,
who had a tavern, the Frank
lin House, on the north side
OF 7 street in the 1000 block
facing Pennsylvania avenue
NV. She was married to a
purser Of one Of our naval
vessels and had a son and
two daughters. Senator John
H. Eaton Of Tennessee lived
there and so did his friend
Andrew Jackson.
There was some talk of a
romance between the Sena-
tor and the beautiful Peggy
while her husband was at
sea. He died abroad and a
year later the Senator mar
ried Peggy and not long after
jackson made him his Secre.
tary Of War.
Other Cabinet wives would
not call on Mrs. Eaton, which
caused a big fuss and the res
ignation Of most of the Cabi-
net including the Secretary
of War.
Historians, Mr.. Brown
noted, have a way dismiss
ing Peggy after the Cabinet
breakup and losing the most
interesting part of her story.
Jackson made Eaton our
Minister to Spain, and Peggy
enlivened Madrid's society.
One daughter married a Ran
dolph; the other the French
Duke Of Sampayo. A grand
daughter married a Roth
schild.
After Eaton's death, when
Peggy was close to go, she
married a 22-year-old Italian

lead to a humiliation worse
than the snub by the Cabinet
wives. He eloped with one of
