Varied interests will try to base a campaign cn other issues, but those other issues will have no effect on the people, because they are not basi cally related to the desires of the people, accordijy? to the economists. President Roosevelt stands to yam all along the line if present infla tionary tendencies continue up to No vember, 1936, say these economists. It is an even guess whether there will be a break prior to that time. The best guess is that prices (and government debt) will continue rising to beyond November, 1936. There may be obstructions. For ex ample, the U. S. Supreme Court may hold vital provisions of the AAA un constitutional. But that would be look ed upon as favoring President Roose velt as against those who oppose arti ficial prices. Indeed, an adverse de cision on the AAA might hasten in. (Continued on Page Five.)

GOVERNOR UTILITY LITIGATION Giving Commission Full Support in Suit Against Phone Company Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKEM VILIE, Raleigh, Oct. 12. —Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus is taking a great deal of interest in the forthcoming court fight between the State Utilities Com mission and the Southern Bell Tele phone and Telegraph Company sche duled to open in superior court here October 28, with Judge C. Vernon Cowper, of Kinston, presiding But for the interest which Governor Eh— ringhaus has taken in this case, in which the Utilities Commission will seek to enforce its order to compel the telephone company to reduce its rates a total of $321,000 a year to its North Carolina subscribers, the Utili ties Commission would have been at a decided disadvantage, all those here who know the situation agree. Realizing that the Commission would be almost helpless if it did not have the assistance of some rate and appraisal experts, Governor Eh ringhaus authorized the necessary funds for the employment of two ex. perts and additional counsel from the emergency and contingency fund, and has placed the full cooperation of his office behind the Utilities Commis sion, it was revealed today. As a re sult, it is expected htat the Utilities Commission will be able to present just as able experts and legal talent as the telephone company will have, in spite of the millions of dollars back of it.

(Central Press) CALLS AAA SET-UP “LANDLORD’S CODE” ATCOTTMQUIRY Witness at Memphis Hear ing on Crop Control Pro cedure Says Tenants Not Helped ABSENT OWNERSHIP HELD AN OBSTACLE Dallas Agricultural Editor Says no Solution of Prob lem Confronting Cotton Section Will Be Possible Until That Has Been Fully Abolished Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 12.—(AP) — The Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration’s program was described as “the landlord’s code” by a witness at ttte AAA hearing today on the eco nomic aspects of the cotton proce dure. “The AAA program has increased purchasing power,” said H. C. Mixon, planter in Alabama, and professor of political science at Tulane University, New Orleans, "but it has not been dis. tributed equally among tenants and share-croppers.” Another opponent of cotton tenancy, T. C, Richardson, an agricultural editor of Dallas, said no solution of the problem confronting the cotton section would be forthcoming until absentee ownership of land was abolished. Walter Moskop, a member of the executive committee of the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union, appealed for “equal benefits” to the share cropper, charging that he has been the “for gotten man” of the AAA and the New Deal. These statements came after yes terday’s enthusiastic endorsement of the principles of production control by farmers, farm association leaders and others who said continuance of the program was imperative for the cot ton belt. of North and South alike. It will be maintained by the breeding of thoroughbred horses, an industry fol lowed at “Stratford” while the Lees were its owners. On the dedication program are Douglas S.

Virtually all comment received in Washington is highly commendatory of Pisrdljdenlt RooseMelfl’s proclama. tions banning shipments of war ma terials to belligerent buyers and warn ing Americans that, if they venture into danger abroad, they do so at their own peril.

It decided to recommend the im mediate discontinuance of all loan and bank credits to Mussolini’s gov ernment. In addition, it appointed a. sub-committee headed by Demetrios Maxlmos, of Greece, to consider fur ther steps in that direction. In view of yesterday’s unanimity of the arms embargo, it is regarded in League circles as a foregone conclus ion that the committee’s recommenda tions will be adopted by the fully re presented general staff committee, probably later today. The Italian delegation informed The Associated Press that Italy had sent no protest to the League of Na tions against the arms embargo. An Italian spokesman said that ha was unable to account for a state ment by some League officials that such ap rotest had been received. The Union of South Africa delegate to the League was reported to hrfve recommended the investigation of the possibility of the League power* breaking diplomatic /relations with Italy.
