Group Formed For Promoting Use Os Cotton Dally Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 12.—The North Caro lina-Virgin ia unit of the National Cotton Council effected a permanent organization at a meeting here yester day afternoon attended by some tw> dozen representatives of the cotton industry in the State. T. V. Upchurch, of Raeford, was named as chairman. He is a large cot ton grower. The council is composed of growers, ginners, seed crushers and cotton merchants. Vice chairmen were named as follows: C. A. Johnson, of Tni-boro, a ginner; J. I. Morgan, of Farmville, a seed crusher; R. E. Evans, of Charlotte, a ginner. P. J. Beatty of Charlotte, a warehouseman and merchant, is treasurer and D. M. Gilbert, Goldsboro cotton buyer, is secretary. The council idea was sponsored by C. A. Johnston, of Mississippi, one of the biggest cotton growers in the world, and a former Federal Reserve Board member, who is expected to come to IRaleigh sometime this spring to deliver an address. The organiza tion budget calls for the expenditure of a quarter million dollars the firs* year in research and advertising, looking to greater use of cotton rath er than curtailment of production. Os the total budget the unit formed here today is expected to provide $8,309. Tentative plans provide for raising this fund by voluntary assessment o* perhaps half a cent a bale on growers, ginners, warehousemen, and mer chants, and a small levy on cotton seed crushed. Participation i n the pro gram will be entirely voluntary. The research and educational pro gram of the council has been approv ed by leading agricultural economists in and out of government service. The unit set up here today is expected to begin a campaign before crop planting time for better quality of cotton, better packing and marketing practices.

Restrictions Hurt WPTF Daily Dispatch Bureau, la the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 12.—Publication of correspondence between officials of the National Broadcasting Company and of Company has revived interest in the imminent transfer of ownership of the Raleigh broadcasting station. Opinion is be coming general that back of the pro posed transfer of the capital stock of the radio station is fear on the part of NBC that the present owners of WPIF are in very bad grace with the Federal Communications Commission, headed by Frank R. McNinch of Charlotte, and that under existing ownership NBC is in danger of los ing the Raleigh outlet. WPTF is owned by a corporation, all of the capital stock in which is held by the Durham Life Insurance company and its officers. The Dur ham Life folks are not New Dealers. Before the days of the New Deal the local station was forced to give an option to NBC in return for use of evening hours on the desired wave length. As antipathy between the New Deal and WPTF increased, NBC found its outlet jeopardized by this lack of cooperation and decided to exercise purchase right under the op tion.. This was agreeable to WPTF until its officers discovered that NBC wanted to buy only for the purpose of almost immediate, resale to a new North Carolina Radio Company. Then protest >was< fflh& and public hearing asked. Personnel q& the new company is not altogether New Deal. Appearance among the stockholders of names like Frank Daniels of the News and Ob server, Irving F. Hall, John P. Swain land others lends New Deal color which is nullified by such names as J. F. Gibbons of Hamlet and Edwir. Pate of Laurel Hill. But it is a new company, diverse enough for any taste and most important from NBC’s view point, is acceptable to Mr. McNinch and his associates in federal com munications. * *No responsible Jofificial of either company will permit direct quotation, but developments of the past few days leave little doubt that this is the real reason tack of the purchase and resale plans of the National Broad casting Company.

The remodeling and modern!- Hits Farmer Cooperatives In The State Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 12. —The bill introduc ed yesterday by Senator O. C. Bruton, of Montgomery, removing the exemp tion from certain State franchise taxes of farmer-owned cooperative stores, really is aimed at another matter, according to the sponsor of the measure, who admits that he may have to offer an amendment to his own measure to reach his goal. What he is shooting at, rather than the established mutual exchange, with a fixed and known place of business, is the. custom of some county agents and agricultural teachers in going- a roiind through the community mak ing up. cooperative shipments of seeds, feeds, lime and fertilizer materials. Senator Bruton is a farm supply merchant at Mount Gilead and he has to pay the varied franchise, privilege and property taxes levied against the average merchant. He also has to earn a living out of his business. He and othdr merchants in like sitiiatibn are much worried by competition that is exempt from many of the taxes which he must pay. Willard L. Dowell, secretary of the SfAtc Merchants’ Association, inform ed Senator Bruton this morning that his association would put its full force behind the bill. That is no mean support for any measure. Opposition to the bill may not be so well organi zed, but will be more largely repre sented on the floor of the General As sembly. The opposition also will have support of the Farm Bureau and the Grange in the general principles of the measure. These last two organiza tions will become very, active if the Montgomery senator decides to in clude in his law the activities of coun ty agents and teachers and other farm workers in making up car-lot coop erative shipments. zation of store fronts has gained con siderable impetus during the depres sion. Merchants have resorted to new ways to attract customers, and bet ter ways to keep old ones. New de signs for store fronts, making them more attractive, has been a method they have employed in this. 'The exhibit consists of twelve mod el store fronts built to scale and of actual building materials. The exhibition is planned to cover most types of sto.res and shops, the following and similar businesses be ing represented: bakery, gift shop, grc'cery or food store, hardware, shoe store, haberdashery, drug store, bar, tobacco store, dry goods, women’s ac cessory store, jewfelry, five and ten cent store, and perfume stoop. Sales Tax Becomes Part Os Permanent Tax Policy (Continued from Page One.) it would have died almost a-toorning, so overwhelmingly, pro-sales tax is the finance committee, as well as the whole General Asomtoly for that mat ter. Just the. same, it was almost with tears that veteran newsmen watched the peaceful extinction and execution; though there may be a balm in Gi lead in the form real action when it comes time to talk turkey over the sales tax schedule itself. AIK this took iplace at the first meeting of the joint finance commit tee, separate and apart from the ap propriations group, and took part un der the direction of Senate chairman, suave, imperturbable Pat Taylor, of Ans'on, and volatile, brusque-talking House Chairman W. E. Fenner, two presiding officers about as far apart as opposite ipoles, (but who have been, by the queer workings of practical politics, designated to work together throughout the current General As sembly. Long, Arduous Task It took place just after Chairman Taylor and Fenner had told the group of the long, arduous task ahead of them and after Mr, Bryant, as House inance chairman ;of 1937, had been quite graciously asked to explain the procedure usually followed in going in to . the. voluminous . money , raising measure. By and without any particular pertinence, it is really remarkable, this grace and affability with which Mr. Bryant is being treated on all sides since his narrow, defeat for the speakership. But to get along with this story. After he had outlined the general practice, Mr.. Bryant, smoothly and almost without pausing from his pre vious paragraph, moved, that the com mittee adopt the .-preamble. There fol lowed the second and the unanimous adoption as related. Mr. Maxwell Takes Stage Thereafter the floor was pretty well monopolized by Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell, who began his biennial teaching of practical revenue raising in North Carolina. He started off with the pleasing little fiction that “the enactment of a revenue toll is a legislaive function, not the Revenue Department’s;” al though everybody above the status of low-grade moron knows that Mr. Maxwell has written more revenue bills than all the 170 legislators combined. He then plunged into a discussion of the first schedule of the bill, the inheritance tax, and the big biennigl battle of the budget was definitely tn. Sub-Committee Named The first hitch came in a section devoted to the inheritance tax on the proceeds of insurance policies where the premium has been paid by any person other than the insured him self. It was a highly technical point of construction, with everybody ap parently agreed on what is wanted but in considerable disagreement over how to word the section. To wind it up, a sub-committee was authorized and the committee passed on to other things. Appropriations Discussed While’ the finance group was get ting under way, the joint appropria tions committee was meeting in an adjoining room, with Senator W. B. Rodman, Jr., and Representative John Oaffey presiding. The entire afternoon was devoted almost exclusively to a detailed ex planation of the budget and especially of items of appropriation, with R. G. Deyton, the assistant budget director, doing most of the explaining. This procedure will prcibably be continued this afternoon, with the first hearings for interested groups slated to start tomorrow afternoon. Chairman Cassey remarked that it would be Friday the thirteenth. The appropriations bill is No. 13 on the Senate side. The combination sounds unlucky. It probably will 'be for those who seek to increase the amount in the next biennium Tic 1 SAVINGS Fresh Produce Daily m " mm**.

'have joined forces through their re spective associations, and have tho cooperation of the Municipal League and the N. C. Association of County Commissioners in a fairly definite program, which approaches the ques tion from two arttgles. First, the municipal workers will ask to be included? Hn* the provisions of the State bill if one is passed re latively early.in the session. Such an act will necessitate an appropriation by the State to meet its part of Phe payments to retired workers. town and county workers would not share in any part of this State ap propriation, but would ask that the same provisions apply in their rela tionship with local governing bodies The purpose of coming under the State law would be to centralize, sim plify and lessen cost of administra tion, since the one agency could ad minister the law for all groups. The second alternative is a gen eral enabling act permitting any town, city or county, to put into ef fect a retirement plan when the gov erning body and employees agree that they want it. This plan calls also for a central State-controlled administer ing agency. The second plan is what municipal employees expect to get for they have been given to understand that the school teachers do not want them in their bill. An expert actuary from a large New York insurance office is now at work compiling data as a basis for fixing rates. He is working for the joint account of the Muni cipal Employees Association and County Employees’ Association, with PAGE THREE the employing boards associations en dorsing the method of obtaining in formation. The bill, now being prepared for in troduction next week will provide joint participation on equal basis of ployer and employee, the employee’s contribution not to exceed in‘ any event more than five per cent of the salary. In one vital respect, this bill departs from Ihe federal social se curity set-up, for it provides that the employing governmental unit shall contribute enough to match the employee’s payment in actual insur ance value, the exact amount to be determined by actuarial figures. The bill will provide optional retirement at 60 years of age, compulsory at 65, except that in some instances of ex pert employment and difficulty of re placement, the limit may be extended to seventy. Benefits at retirement are based on length of service, long-time employment carrying higher pensions than brief tenure, and adequate pro vision is made for refund of money paid into the fund in case of separa tion from service before retirement age. Prime Minister Chamberlain’s ap plause of President Roofeevelt’s warn ing to dictator nations somehow re minds us of the enthusiastic advice a manager gives a prize fighter: “Get in there, he can’t hurt us.” INSURANCE RENTALS Real Estate—Home Financing Personal and courteous atten tion to all details.
