(UP) —The domestic allotment farm relief bill was lauded and criticiz i ed yesterday before the senate | agriculture committee which is holding hearings on the bil|fou • dollar measure. More than 12,.r>00,000 persons I dependent on th« dairy industry 'for a living are hoping the mea sure will restore their pre-wav purchasing power, Charles W. Ilolman, secretary of the national co-operative milk producers fed eration, told the committee. But W. J. Jensen, of Chicago, Secretary Manager of ihe Ameri can association of creamery but ter manufacturers, said "our at titude is sympathetic but we don't think the plan will work." The measure, which has passed the house, provides for a produc ers bounty designed to bring prices to pre-war levels in return for a 20 per cent reduction in pro duction. The bounty would be raised by levying taxes on proces sors. Holman urged the committee to place a tax en Olemanrarir.e equal to the bounty on butter to ma n tain "sales parity" between the i two products, adding that "with out this amendment we don't be lieve the bill would work effec tively on the dairy industry." Commodities now covered by the bill are wheat, cotton, hogs, rice, peanuts, tobacco and butter fats. Charles A. Ewing, of Chicago. President of the National Live stock Marketing association, said ! he approved the bill, but urged that sheep an(j cattle, as well as hogs, beincluded. k Police Declare Murder Admitted NEW YORK.

I C.OFC- MlSS H Further Improvement of Boylston Road Urged; Times-News Special Issue Will Aid Publicity: First Quarterly Mem bers' Dinner Planned. Tho monthly meeting of the di rectors of the Chamber of Com- j meree wis held in the organiza-1 tion's offices Thursday evening. I when seventeen directors. Presi dent M. W. Strong and Secretary Noah Hollowell devoted two and a half hours to consideration of business. The directors present we»e H. If. Ewbank, P. F. Sud duth, Dr. J. G. Bennett, Mayor A) Edw&rds. J. FL Flanagan, (». ('. Richardson. J. H. Harden. Yate> W. Little. J. T. Fain, E. F. Latt, Thomas Shepherd. A. S. Truex, 0. Y. Brownlee. L. H.. McKay, Mintrus Shipman, Fred Justus and A. S. Browning. In addition to many matters of routine business receiving a'ten tion, the following business ox general interest was transacted: The directors endorsed the pro posal to request the State high way department authorities to im prove the Boylston road. Transyl vania and Henderson counties are interested in having a binder placed on this road, on which stone ha* already been placed. Completion of the improvement of this road from Mills River to Piseah Forest is desired. The director:; approved the sug gestion of the finance committee that The Times-News be request ed at an early date to issue an other "Chamber of Commerce Edition" of the newspaper for ad vertising purposes. Two such edi tions issued in the past have been u^eu extensively in advertising the town and section and the need for advertising matter for distribution, a need which the or ganization is unable to finance by having booklets or other advertis ing matter printed, is felt keenly at this time. The Times-News has agreed to issue this special edition within the next sixty days. The plan of having quarterly meetings of the organization for the entire membership and vis itors was approved by the direc-; tors. These will be dinner meet-1 ings and the first of the proposed number of meetings will be held 1 in April. The advertising committee of the Chamber of Commerce report ed great progress in raising a spe- | cial fund to be used in placing.' signs on U. S. highway No. 25-1, i directing motor traffic from Flor ida through this section. Large boards will be placed south of Jacksonville and Augusta. Thu boards will contain appropriate lettering and a representation of the new Laurel Park golf course. The directors extended a vote of thanks to the Hendersonville Supply & Coal company for th»' donation of the material in these boards. They will be constructed here and transported to the sites where they will be erected. De sign for the boards is the work of Walter Allison, Hendersonville ar tist. The directors gave much of the j time of their meeting to a discus- I sion of relief and charity work in I the town and county. It was the unanimous opinion of the direc j tors that it is not the province of I the Chamber of Commerce to en gage in this work. In the past Secretary Hollowell has given much time and effort to this work through the Red Cross and Salva tion Army. A large contribution has been made in this way to re lief work. On account of the present nagnitude and character of relief work in the county, the directors concluded that the time has come to set up a special relief organization, under official direc tion, and having, the support of all citizens of the town and coun- ! ty. With this plan in view a reso- j lution was adopted addressed to j the county and city commission-, ers, requesting these officials ta | take steps to organize a welfare ' or relief association, in which all citizens of the town and county! can co-operate. The plan is to I eliminate the duplication of effort and overlapping of relief work as at present carried on. Ford Co. Plants Closed Down DETROIT.

Follows Charge That Big Bankers Have "Strangle-hold on Industry" WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. (UP) A charge that big bankers have a "strangle hold on indstry" was the basis of an assertion yesterday by Senator Norris, Repn., Nebr., that the situation should be inves tigated immediately by a senate committee. John P. Frey, secretary-treas urer of the metal trades depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, testifying: before the senate judiciary committee, said: "The bankers control of credit now makes it impossible for em ployers to do what they can to im prove conditions. The committee is holding hear ings on the Black bill which would establish a six day, 30-hour work week. Frey promised to appear before the committee again with a list of corporate affiliations of the bank ing groups included in a survey he made of the situation. "This evidence," Norris said, "ought by all means be made pub lic. Such conditions are intoler able in a free country and ought to be investigated." Frey said he had made a study of control of "industry by big bankers," adding he had traced the corporation affiliations of partners in 16 large private bank ing concerns in New York, includ ing J. P. Morgan and company, and Kuhn-Loeb. "I found," he said, "that these i partners held 71 directorships in I other banks, including the largest in New York City." When he traced the affiliations further, he added, he found the same men held 996 directorships in Public Utilities, insurance com panies, transportation agencies and manufacturing firms. Direc torships of the eight leading com mercial banks m New York, Frey declared, totalled 3,741 including! banks and other types of business, i He charged the Chase National! Bank in New York coerced an em ployer into cutting wages and lay ing off workers and a publishing house into changing its editorial policy. Pot.h owed money to the ' bank, he said, > CABINET BIDS NOTYETOUT IS DECLARED But Hiram Johnson May be Given Position GLASS DENIES OFFER MADE WARM SPRINGS, Ga„ Jan. 27. (UP)—Formal cabinet invitation? are yet to bo issued, President elect Roosevelt revealed today in refusing to discuss numerous re ports of definite selections for the various cabinet posts in the in coming administration. I WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. (UP) —Senator Carter Glass, Democrat Virginia, today .said "there is not ' a word of truth in it and I told I thom so at 0 o'clock last night, when advised of published reports here that he had signified accept ance of an invitation to be secre tary of the treasury in Roosevelt's cabinet. Reports also said that Senator Walsh. Democrat, Montana, had accepted the attorney generalship, while the United Press learned I authoritatively that Senator Hiram Johnson, Independent Republican [who ran with Theodore Roosevelt ion the Bull Moose ticket had been offered a cabinet post. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. (UP) President-elect Roosevelt is earn estly seeking the services in his cabinet of Senator Hiram John son, Progressive California Repub lican who bolted bis own party and followed the Roosevelt ban nev in the NoveiuLer election. The president-elect offered the Californian a cabinet post on his recent visit here, it was learned authoviatively yesterday by the United Press. The discussion cen tered chiefly around Secretary of Interior, which is set aside for a westener, but Johnson was given to understand that there are other positions open if he will join the administration. The California senator is now considering the Roosevelt offer under persistent solicitation of the president-elect. He declined yesterday to dis cuss the matter in any way what ever when approached by the Uni ted Press. Some of Johnson's friends doubt if he would take a cabinet post, even thought it would be a fitting climax to a distinguished career that always has been marked by independence. Johnson has never been a party regular. He bolted in 1912 to become Theodore Roosevelt's running-mate in the famous Bull Moose campaign. It is his very independence that is cited as the reason Johnson might not jjo into the Democratic cabinet. He has very positive views. On the World War debt question, now foremost, he does not agree with the Roosevelt move to open the doors for revision. Endeavor Alumni Group is Formed Consisting of those who have formerly been members of the Christian Endeavor and of others who are especially interested in such young people's work, an alumni council was organized at a gathering held at the Presby terian church last night.

Charter members of the council were enrolled, Miss Martha Willis, president of the first Christian Endeavor society to be formed in Henderson was elected chairman, and Mrs. John Peden secretary. Following the business meeting, a social period was enjoyed by the council and members of the Christian Endeavor society. Immediately preceding the meet ing the Christian Endeavor execu tive committee discussed plans of the passed and coming months. Pleasant Grove Service Planned Rev. T. C.

Tydings of Mary land Would Lop Off Billion MOVE HAS FOLLOWERS WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (UP) Senate Democrats today agreed to attempt a reduction of Federal expenditures totalling $2,949,000,000 which is cli mated to be the amount of the government's probable total re venues in the next fiscal year. WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. (UP) —Senator Millard Tydings, Dem., Md., started a "taxpayers filibus ter" in the senate yesterday to cut a billion dollars from government expenditures and his action gath ered such momentum that his par ty may back him up in the sudden and dramatic move. After the senate had debated his resolution for this purpose for five hours, democratic Leader Robinson announced he would call a party conference today to de cide whether Democrats as a whole will stand behind Tydings. Tydings' motive is to carry out the economy program pledged by President-elect Roosevelt. The youthful and handsome Maryland senator's economy revo lution gathered converts yester day as he pounded away on 1he necessity of cutting down the cost of government and fearlesly proclaimed:* "If I can't vote my own senti ments, to hell with this jcb." The Tydingg resolution would send the pending postoffice treas ury department appropriation bill back to the committee with in structions to lop enough from it and other supply bills to bring ap propriations down to $2,949,100, 000 which is the estimate of gov ernment income for the 1934 fiscal year made by President Hoover. The budget estimates of appro priations for the 1934 fiscal year are $4,403,178,000 which includes sinking requirements for the pub lic debt. Tydings would exclude the sinking fund by making no provision for it. Robinson pointed out that the procedure proposed by Tydings might tie up the appropriation bills and throw them all into the special session. "I know there are some sena tors who would not be loathe to see that done," he remarked. The Democratic leader declared two thirds of the people in tho country believe that the way to balance the budget is to cut down j appropriations, but declared dra J matically: "I doubt whether the senate of the United States has the courage or the ability to carry out this re solution if adopted." The Democratic conference prob ably will modify the Tydings pro posal, but it was evident last night that he had so squarely put the issue before his fellow Democrat* that they must go along as far as possible. Iioosevelt has pledged a 25 per cent cut in government costs, which is about a billion dol lars. The Maryland senator's bold I move threw the senate into anoth er filibuster—though it probably will turn out to be a very minor one—only a day after the pro longed filibuster against the Glasa banking bill ended and opened tho way fo.* consideration of other legislation. He announced his "taxpayers filibuster" to the senate when it convened to take ud the appro priation bill, the first of the an I (Continued on page tnree) TOPS GUESS Who was KNOWN AS THE "icon Duke?
