Washington, Aug. B.—Radical mis

Raleigh, Aug. 8. —The 1935 General
Assembly is going to have to estab
lish a State insurance fund if the
workmen’s compensation law is to be
continued and both employes and em
ployers given adequate protection in
North Carolina, many of those who
have been studying this problem
agree. For since the State Insurance
Department refused to grant another
increase in rates for compensation as
asked by the companies some two
years ago, so many companies have
withdrawn from the State that it is
becoming more and more difficult for
employers to get compensation in
surance, while some cannot get it at
all, e ven at excessive rates.
When the workmn’s compnscation
law was first nacted, there were 58
companos selling compensation insur

Department of Agriculture in the first
official forecast of the season.
Last year 13,047,000 bales w'ere gin r

The condition of the crop on August

condition of 74.2 per cent a year ago,
when the yield was 208.5 pounds per

yield of 169.9 pounds for the ten years

The area in cultivation July 1 was
estimated at 28,024,000 acres, or 31.4
per cent less than the acreage a- year

planted area showed a substantial re
duction in all states except Arizona
and California, the decrease in major
producing states ranging from 25 per
cent in Georgia to 30 per cent in
Oklahoma.
The smaller acreage was due to the
cotton control program of the Agri

Berlin, Aug. 18 (AP)—Chancellor
Adolf Hitler went to Bavaria today for
several days rest and recuperation
following his strenuous activities in!
connection with the funeral of the
late President Paul von Hindenburg.
Adolf Hitler put aside the role of
orator today and turned to the task

The chancellor-president in all but

had spoken a. eulogy at the bier of
the late President Paul von Hinden
burg. **
Germany’s economic situation is
grave. A sharp decline in foreign
trade and ensuing foreign exchange
difficulties have necessitated a pro
gram of rationing in raw materials
which recalls wartime measures.
This, economists say, is bound to re
sult in a curtailment of production
and the problem of keeping factories
going is imminent.
The financial dilemma was re-em
