PLAN PRESENTED
TO BOOST COTTON
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 30.—
(Cl—Oscar Johnston of Scott, Miss.,
president of the National Cotton
Council, asked the Alabama Farm
Bureau federation here today to
endorse a cotton marketing formu
la which he said would do away
with present price handicaps
American cotton has to face in
world markets.
The plan, .ittributed by Johnston
to D. W. Brooks of Atlanta, gen
eral ■ manager of the Cotton Pro
ducers association, is this:
Granting that the present gov
ernment loa"' program is contin
ued, the cotton producer would re
ceive the oriion of placing his cot
ton in the loan at 92.5 per cent erf
parity or selling it at the market
price and receiving from the gov
ernment the difference in cash be
tween the average price of the 10
leading spot markets and parity.
Under the plan a farmer with
five bales of cotton might sell at
,the market price which might be
17 cents against a parity of 20
cents, the farmer would receive
a certificate from the purchaser
which would be a negotiable de
mand on the government for a
sum' equaling three cents a pound
or roughly $15.00 a bale.
Johnston cited the effect of ar
tificial price supporters on the
world market for American cotton,
asserting that the produce had suf
fered in export business because
the domestic price was “too high
to compete with foreign growths.”
Brazilian cotton is now selling at
about seven cents a pound under
American cotton, he said.
A new use for cotton has been
found in the insulation field, John
ston declared, adding however that
this produce would not be avail
able until after the war because
a tinfoil backing was required.

RUSSIANS START
BUDAPEST DRIVE

my, which already has conquered
Ruthenia and is invading Slo
vakia to the west, had captured
10,160 Germans between Friday
and Sunday, making a 10-day to
tal of 21,390.
Far to the southwest, on the
Hungarian plains, Berlin said that
Soviet Marshal Rodion Y. Mali
- novsky’s second Ukraine army al
ready had forced the Tisza river
at many points, breaking across
the last natural defense line be
fore Budapest, by using “unprece
dented masses of men and ma
terial.”
Two “major Soviet bridgeheads”
thrown across the river north of
Szoinok, 50 miles southeast of the
capital, were crushed, Berlin
claimed, and Hungarians and Ger
mans were fighting furiously south
of that pivot city in an effort to
halt the Russians.
In the past week the Germans
have acknowledge Russian cross
ings of the Tisza in at least three
areas south of Szoinok—at Toszeg,
five miles below that hinge city,
at Tiszafoldvar, and at Tiszakurt,
19 miles south of Szoinok.
The crossing at Tiszakurt, 60
miles southeast of threatened
Budapest, was achieved by two
Russian guards divisions which
were “favored by extremely bad
weather.”
A German war correspondent at
the front reported by radio thag
Axis troops had been ordered to
“hold on at all costs,” in an ef
fort to save Budapest.
German front bulletins stressed
the Soviet' intention of toppling
Budapest, queen city on the Dan
ube and key communications
center at the doorway to Austria,
before th esnows set in.
Moscow has never confirmed
the crossings in the Szoinok area,
but the Russians already hold the
west bank stronghold of Csongrad,
20 miles south of Szoinok, and a
67-mile line running southwest of
there through Kishkunhalas to a
point near captured Baja, on the
Danube 84 miles due south of
Budapest.

G.I. Joe Is Building Up
Billion Dollar Nestegg
NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 30.— UB—
G. L Joe may seem like a bit
of a spendthrift when he gets a
48-hour pass or 10-day furlough,
but figures reported by the War
department’s Office of Dependency
Benefits today show that he and
his mates are building up a billion
dollar nest egg for the day .they >
are demobilized.
Through deposits, transfers of
surplus funds and allotments of
pay to their families, the soldiers
are setting aside money for a
rainy day. Allotments of pay alone
have jumped from less than 2,
000,000 at the beginning of t h e
year to more than 3,000,000 and
$2,498,170,703 has been disbursed to
date through these allotments.
... .
These are iii addition-to the near
er $4,000,000,000 ODB has paid in
monthly allowances to soldiers
families.
ODB figures show that $396,000,
000 of the money paid to soldiers
families in allowances since last
January has been deposited in
banks. In addition, army men and
women of all ranks and grades
have saved more than $211,000,000
in personal transfer of surplus
heads through their finance offic
ers. Another $102,000,000 has been
set aside by enlisted personnel
through the system of soldiers’ de
posits in a government fund earn
ing 4 per cent interest. These sol
diers’ deposits cannot be with
drawn until the.soldier’s discharge
from the service.

the British had been held up. for
36 hours, although they were in

today almost unopposed, indicat

The Canadian drive to clean up
Antwerp’s approaches raced on
with the same bewildering speed,
and all organized resistance on the
south bank of the Sehelde and on
south Beveland island was crush

Dominion troops compressed the
reeling Germans into a small pock

the Schelde estuary from which the
enemy can no longer fire on Allied
ships which choose to enter the
estuary.
Then to the north they broke
German resistance on south Beve
land, whittled its mauled garrison
to some 2,000 troops, raced its en
tire length and retched the cause
way' joining it to Walcheren island
to the west, where German guns
still dominate the Schelde.
An ambitious German drive in
eastern Holland, probably designed
to ease the pressure on all these

TUGWELL CABINET
IS UNDER ARREST
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 30.
——Arrest of the entire cabinet
of Gov. Rexford G. Tugwell for con*
tempt of court was ordered today
by District Judge Marcelino Ro
many in a dispute over a $16,000,000
war emergency council appropria
tion.
Tugwell, himself, was not includ
ed in the proceedings brought by
Sen. Celestino Iriarte, head of the
united opposition parties.
Romany enjoined Tugwell’s war
emergency council from spending
any of the appropriation on the
ground it was not approved by the
legislature and his ruling was up
held by both the Puerto Rico Su
preme court and the Boston Cir
cuit court, to which the government
appealed.
Enrique Campos de Toro, attor
ney general designate, who appear
ed for the defendants, said the
council continued to spend from
thq appropriation because the coun
cil had not yet been officially noti
fied of the Boston court’s decision
last week affirming the injunction.
Romany denied further appeal
and ordered the arrest of the entire
cabinet, which embraces the heads
of all government department.
The $16,000,000 fund was set up
for the relief of Puerto Ricans,
250,000 of whom, according to gov
ernment accounts, were faced with
starvation.

24,000 JAPANESE
DOWN IN 10 DAYS
(Continued From Fage One)
ter patrols yesterday discovered a
Japanese column two miles long
at Carigara, some four miles west
ward along the bay.
First cavalry patrols entered
Carigara several days ago without
resistance, then drew back. Guer
rillas warned yesterday that a
large enemy concentration was
present.
Another patrol then returned t<j
the town’s outskirts, and sighted
the long Japanese column, stretch
ing along the road heading into
Carigara, Associated Press war
Correspondent Spencer Davis re
ported.
This indicated the Japanese were
assembling for a last stand, hop
ing possibly for reinforcements
from the forces landed at Ormoc.
At headquarters of the Sixth ar
my it was considered doubtful that
the Japanese in Leyte valley could
escape from the multi-pronged
squeeze against them, maintained
by Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger’s ar
my forces and patrolling PT boats
in the bay. t
The situation along Carigara bay
was considered favorable for
American forces, who have bcftn
accelerating their drive to wipe out
the Japanese defenders. Their con
trol was tight over Leyte valley
itself, and organized Japanese re
sistance in this broad flat sector
appeared broken.
An American breakthrough to the
coast would cut the island in half.
Final liquidation of the Japanese
in the Jaro sector would permit
the Americans to move swiftly to
the coast, General Irving said.
In central Leyte valley, two
main groups of the enemy are now
separated between Dagam and
Pastrana, Davis reported. The
northern forces, estimated between
4,000 and 6,000, .were retiring to
ward Carigara bay.
In a field dispatch, Associated
Press war Correspondent James
Hutcheson reported the Japanese
were fighting a delaying action to
protect that withdrawal. They
launched local counterattacks and
made increased use of land mines
anri hoohv traDS.
The typhoon assisted them, in
slowing American progress. Heavy
winds battered the front lines,
swept up buildings and smashed
tents in camp areas.
Small Japanese groups were
straggling westward across the
mountains toward Ormoc, from
which a highway winds northward
through the mountains to the
southwest edge of Carigara bay.
In the Binahaan river bend area,
around Dagami, an estimated 1500
of the enemy are trapped, report
ed Associated Press war Corres
pondent Fred Hampson. Units of
the 21st division and the 24th corps
strengthened their , pressure to cut
of tscape routes to the hills.
Some reinforcements from these
American forces were sent over
land to join the battle foj Jaro,
hurrying across an interior trail.
Dagami was firmly in American
hands, but one of the fiercest bat
tles of the Leyte campaign was
fought there. The 7th division, be
hind tanks and flame throwers,
battled for 24 hours to break a
series of Japanese bunkers a half
mile south - of the- town. Flame
throwers and grenadiers alone ac
counted for 22 bunker?.
American ground forces operated
freely without fear of a Japanese
seaborne attack as a result of last
week’s smashing defeat of the Jap
anese Navy in which 24 Nipponese
warships were sunk and 34 dam
aged.
Success of the Philippines inva
sion, observers point out, was se
cured by the naval victory.

PARTY’S RECORD
ALBEMARLE, Oct. 30.— UR —R.
Gregg Cherry, democratic nomi
nee for governor, said tonight that
the record of the democratic party
in the past 12 years “has been one
of accomplishment in behalf of the
average man and amply justifies
continued support of the democrat
ic regime.”
The candidate said that, on the
other hand, the record of the Re
publican party in the 12 years pre
ceding 1933 was “one which held
out neither hope nor promise to
the American people, and was
marked by selfishness in govern
ment and the serving of special
interests to the detriment of the
average man.”
No one can compare the records
of the two periods, Cherry said,
“and honestly conclude that the
people of the United States will be
safe if the government is again
turned back to the misrule of the
republican party.”
Praising the record of democrat
ic governors in North Carolina
during the past 44 years, Cherry
promised, if elected, “to build for
a greater and more glorious. North
Carolina, with a government hav
ing the interest of the citizens as
its chief concern.”
