Criticises Board Because
With Divided Responsi
bility it Defied the Chief
Executive.
Washington. March 8.—(A1)-—As
serting that tlie shipping board with
•divided responsibility had defied, the ]
President, Secretary Hoover today
urged that it b« stripped irf all pow
er* fxeept its judicial and regulatory
functions, and that the entire gov
ernment merchant fleet be aflminis
tered by the Fleet Corporation.
The secretary, who testified before
the Bouse commerce committee, said
such a proceedure would be in accord
ance with the original conception of
the board. Differences be
tween the executive and the board,
he said, was “one reason why we
have made no more progress with our
merchant marine.’’
The committee which today took up
the Itacon bill to carry out the prin
ciple of Secretary Hoover’s proposal
regarding the shipping board, recent
ly approved a bill providing for co
ordination of all navigation functions
now supervised by the department.
“We will never have a real or sat
isfactory merchant marine until it is
owned and maintained by private en
terprises.” the secretary said, but he
advocated government, aid "to Seep
the flog flying on critical routes” un
til this could be achieved.

Partial Recovery in Price Cotton
Male at New Orleans.
< New Orleans, La., March 7.—The
first of last week in the cotton mar-*
ket witnessed a continuation of the
decline in prices started the week
previous due to the liquidation of
the Barch position in spots which
put the actual on a tenderable basis
and the good progress made In pre
paring for the new crop. The decline
carried May down to 17-54 or 70
points below the closing level of the
preceding week and October eased
off to 16.50 or 56 points.
From these levels prices started
to rally'•and although he’d in check
by the flurry in the New York
stock market they gradually improv
ed until the close on Saturday show
ed a recovery of 47 points on May
and 26 points on October. This re
covery took place In the face of ex
tremdp 1 bearish week-end statistics,
Vtteappbinting mill takihg and stead
ily shrinking exports. It was due
largely to the changed technical poai
tiion of the market resulting from
the elimination of so large a propor

ab’.e speculative short interest. 1

GOVERNOR McLEAN IS
IN WASHINGTON TODAY
Goes to Capital to Press Matter of
Granting State Permission for a
Broadcasting Station.
Raleigh, N. C.. March B.— UP)
Governor McLean is in Washington
today, having gone to the national
capitaPto press the matter of grant
ing of a wave length by the Depart
ment of Commerce to North Carolina
for the state's proposed radio broad
casting station. The Executive left
for Washington last night and is ex
pected back tomorrow.
No licenses to broadcast have been
issued by the Department for some
months, it is understood, and besides
there is a large number of applications
in ahead of North Carolina’s. It is
the Governor’s contention that since
the state-owned station is to be used
as a public rather than a private or
commercial enterprise, it should be
given priority. It is presumed here
that Mr. McLean will press that argu
ment in his discussion with officials of
the Department.
POPE PIUS CHAMPIONS
DARK SKINNED RACES
Declares in Encyclical That They
Are Not Inferior to White in In
telligence.
Rome. March B.—The belief that
the dark skinned races are inferior
to tUa, white is a mistaken one, Pope
Plus dec’ares in an encyclical letter
published today, vigorously urging
an increase in the number of native
Catholic clergymen in the so-called
uncivilized regions of the world.
His Holiness says that long ex-1
perience proves that these peoples,
erroneously termed inferior, can
compete with the white races in
mental acumen.
“If in the heart of barbarous
lands,” he writes, “there are found
men who seem slow to learn, this is
explainable by the conditions of
their life of which the restricted
needs to not allow them to make
large ' use of their intelligence.”

THE COTTON MARKET
Weakness Appeared at Opening Dae
to Several Causes.—First
I/nvcr.
New York. March B.—(A*)—Weak
ness appeared in the cotton market
at the opening today ns a result of
poor cables, the French political sit
uation and threatened English labor
troubles, together with federal crop
and weather advices from the South.
First prices were 9 to 14 points low
er.
. Liverpool. Japanese interests and
the trnde bought at the opening while
the Soutif. commission houtses and
Wall Street wore sellers.
Reports from Dallas said the basis
was weaker with absolutely no new
business, and that the prospects for
the next crop were the best ever
known, giving no indication of any
reduction in acreage.
In the early trading here a good
deal of March liquidation was in evi
dence, and after the opening further
selling by Wall Street forced May
eontrocts off to 18.52 and October to
17 20, or 18 to 20 points below the
previous close. The impression lire- ;
vailed among traders that cotton
bought in the South for delivery on
March contracts here will not exceed
25,000 bales and may be less.
Cotton futures opened easy.

WOFFORD COLLEGE MEN
NOT UP TO STANDARD?
They Are Unable to Qualify as the
Ideal of Converse College Students.
Spartanburg. S. C., March 7.—There
is not a student at Wofford college
that will come up to the ideal set up
by Converse college girls in a ques
tionnaire recently conducted at. the
female institution. An examination of 1
the 498 boys at Wofford college re
vealed this.
In the first place the age of 26
years was a barrier. More than 98
per cent, of the boys are under this
age. Then No. 10 shoes were re
quired. Only two per cent, boast of
such large feet.
But while there is no member of
the Wofford student body that can
measure up to the spec : fieations laid
down by the Converse girls as a whole,
it was declared that there are some
of the boys that are able to meet the
requirements of individual members
of the Converse college girls, so not
all is gloom at Wofford.
