Tobacco Control Bill is
Passed in House,206-144
All Amendments Voted
Down Except One lim
iting Life of Measure;
Vote Is Much Closer
Than on Rankhead Bill
Washington, June 6.?Substitut
ing speed for past delays, the House
of Representatives today voted j
down ail amendments to the Kerr!
tobacco control .' bill except one |
which limited the bill to two years)
and passed the measure by a vote
of 206 to 144.
The fact that the vote was much
closer in the House than on the
similar Bankhead Cotton bill raises
considerable doubt as to the outcome
in the Senate, where the Bankhead
bill passed by a margin of only eight I
votes.
Democrats furnished a third of
the opposition, but only one Demo
crat raised his voice against the
measure, Carpenter of Nebraska,
in fact, the extent of the opposition
did not become apparent until the
roil was called on final passage,
after a division vote of 66 to 44 had
been objected to because it showed
the lack of a quorum.
The Republican opposition wai
somewhat half-hearted, with pass
age of the bill conceded. Repre
sentative J. Baynard Cark secured
adoption of the rule on the measure!
without any debate whatever and I
neither side used the full hour allow
ed for general debate on the bill it
self.
But when the time came to voie,
a number of Democrats from the
North and West joined an almost
solid Republican minority in voting
against the bill and the opponents
also included such Southern Demo
crats as Rankin, of Mississippi, Tay
lor of South Carolina, 'Terrell, of
Texas and a few others.
But although the Senate outcome
will be watched closely, Senator
Lllison D. Smith, of South Caro
lina, chairman of the Senate com
mittee on agriculture, is still con
fident that the Senate will pass the
bill. Senator Smith will get ac
tion from his committee within a
few days, thus placing the bill on
the Senate calendar.
Senator Josiah W. Bailey, whose
attitude on the bill may be decisive
in the Senate, still refuses to dis
cuss the matter, although Senator
Byrd, of Virginia, a foe of regi
mentation," has indicated that he
will support the Kerr bill. Senator
Reynolds has also indicated sup
port of the bill, but is not expected |
to be very active in its behalf.
The amendment limiting the life
of the bill/to two years was offered
by Representative Marvin A. Jcmes,
of Texas, chairman" of the House
committee on agriculture.
All other amendments were votea
down except one which was offered
by Representative Deer., of Georgia,
authorizing the secretary of agricul
ture to establish a uniform system ,
of grading tobacco and to employ in
spectors and graders.
This amendment, which had a
great deal of support on its merits,
was ruled out of order by Represent
ative U instead, of North Carolina,
who was presiding over the House t
as chairman of the committee of
the whole.
The point of order, which was
raised by Representative Hope, of
Kansas, ranking Republican mem
ber of the agriculture committee,
provoked considerable debate. Rep
resentative Byrns, of Tennessee,,
Democratic floor leader, introduced
an even more drastic grading bill
early h> the session, but he has
since repudiated his own bill as he
foimd many of his, constituents did
not want it He joined in the ap
peal to the chair to rule the amend
ment out of order and asserted he
would never favor & provision
leaving the making of rules and
regulations for grading to the sec
retary of agriculture.
With, the Kerr bill under con
d
tinnous consideration for five hours
today was North Carolina day in
the House and few members of
? T5 ? ' - ' ?
the State delegation secured any
lunch,, : v; > ' ?.?;
Representative Umstead. who. was (
having his first experience as pre
siding -officer- in the House, jpceived
a round of applause when he relin
quished and- reported the bill back to
the House.
Representative Clark had charge
of the rule and Representative John
H. Kerr, as author of the bill;
shared responsibility for floor man
agership with Representative Hamp
ton P. Fuller, of South Carolina,
which reported the bill. Bepreeeof
[found that he was blocked as to
! tomorrow and secure^ permission
of Mr. Byrns to take it up today.
The bill as passed by the House
provides a tax of not less than- 25
per cent nor more than 33 1-8 per
cent on all tobacco not produced
under reduction agreements. This
is a lower rate than the 50 per cent
tax in the Bankhead Cotton bill,
but under the Kerr ball the tobacco
grower not coming under the re
duction agreement would have to
pay a tax on all of his tobacco
while under the Bankhead bill both
signers and non-signers are allowed
quotas.
However, the Bankhead bill lelt
out in the cold, as far as rental and
other benefit payments, all those
who had not signed reduction agree^
ments during the campaigns for
signatures and the Kerr bill permits
any. tobacco- grower to come in and
sign an agreement within 30 days
after passage of the bill. The Ken
bill also contains an exemption of
2,000 pounds for each grower, which
was opposed by the Department of
Agriculture and by Judge Kerr, but
which the committee insisted upon.
for the most part opposition to
che bill, led by Representatives
Hope, Wardsworth of New York,
Taber, of New York, and Carpen
ter was against such legislation in
general rather than against the
specific provisions of the Ken- bill,
but Representative Dowell, of Iowa,
declared that the real trouble with
the tobacco farmers was the greed
of the tobacco companies and called
attention to the $2,500,000 salary
paid in one year to George Wash
ington Hill, president of the Ameri
can Tobacco Co. He said that this
salary and others comparable to it
were paid for buying tobacco as
cheaply as possible.
Proponents of the bill stressed
the fact that there has been no op
position from the tobacco belt and
said that the measure was . neces
sary to protect those who - ha\ e
signed and are living to the,
agreements. One of the strongest
speeches for the bill was made by
Representative Boileau, Republican,
Wisconsin, but he was almost alone
on his side in voting for the bill.

Raleigh, June 7.?A committee to
aid in adjustment of farm debts was
named yesterday by Governor Ehr
inghaus and will meet here next
Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock to be
gin consideration of its problem.
The group was appointed at re

creditors together" and work out
settlements for farm mortgages.
The first cases to be considered will
be those in which loans have been
made by federal land banks to farm
ers but where the loan is not large
enough to allow the farmer to lift
his mortgage entirely.
. Cases of that-nature will be the
center of rts work at first but it is
planned to broaden the field to debt
settlements of other natures in rural
areas. It is planned to name local
committees in each county.
Members of the committee are:
Julian Price, Greensboro, from in
surance group; M. 0. Blbunt, Bethel
and Lionel Weil, Goldsboro, farmer

Dance Draws
Several Thousand
To Farmville
No Accidents Or Dis

Three thousand dancers and on
lookers crowded Planter's warehouse
Wednesday evening for the June
dance, which had been anticipated by
the social set in Eastern Carolina for
some weeks, and which proved to be
one of the most successful of any of
preceding affairs of this nature held
here, everything being conducted in
an orderly maimer and well controll
ed by protective forces employed for
the occasion, with no automobile ac
cidents or arrests reported.
The large warehouse was trans
formed, by the elaborate scheme of
decoration used, -into a veritable for
est with its background of pines and
moss draped rafters overhead, inter
twined1 in which were myriads of col
ored lights. The orchestra platform,
enclosed by a picket fence, had an at
tractive striped canopy, fashioned of
cerise and white crepe paper, with
pine and moss used about -the base.
Jan Garber, "idol of the air waves,"
and his orchestra, were the center of
attractions and his appreciative list
eners were generous with their ap
plause.
The Terraplane. coach, given away
by the promoters, Hal Winders, Wiley
Dildy and Julian Rumley, after the
intermission, was won by Richard
Barnes, Wilson, N. C., who is report
ed as having recently graduated from
A. C. College, there, and did not own
a car.

Weed Growers Are
Paid Six Millions
Nearly Four Millions of
Amount Due in Ren
tals Have Been Dis
bursed
Raleigh, June .7.?North Carolina
tobacco growers who signed contracts
to reduce their production have re
ceived approximately $6,000,000,000
in rental and equalization payments.
The $2,000,000 equolization pay
ment on the 1933 crop has almost
been paid in full and $3,992,507.23 of
the amount due in rentals has been
disbursed, according to information
in the office of E. Y. Floyd at State
College, director of the tobacco pro
gram in this State. .
Floyd said that practically all the
flue-cured and burley contracts
have been adjusted satisfactorily
so that the past production figures
of all counties are in line with sta
tistics of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
A few contracts, however, have
not been accepted yet by the secre
tary of agriculture on account of
incomplete information in the con
tracts or minor errors made in fill
ing them out. These contracts are
being corrected and returned to
Washington for approval.
The planting season has ' about
closed and Floyd predicted for this
season the best quality crop in years
unless adverse weather conditions
impair it later in the summer.
Meanwhile, preparations are be
ing made to measure accurately the
acreage of all growers who signed
contracts. Those who have plant
ed slightly more than the 70 per
cent allotments will be given the
privilege of faking a 20 per cent re
duction instead 'of the original 30 per
cent, Floyd said. Or if they wish
they may ploy up their excess.
He pointed out that when grow
ers choose to reduce only 20 per
cent, the will lose one-third of the
rental and benefit payments. In this
way, they run the risk of losing more
on their reduced rental and benefit
payments than they will make in
extra profit on the increased pro
duction.
He estimated that fewer than 10
per cent of the growers .have decided
to reduce 20 instead of 80 per cent '
Western Drought
Is Helpful Here
1
State Tobacco Farmers
Authorized to Utilize
Retired Acreage
Raleigh, June 8.?The drought that
is burning up crops in the West will
solve one of the problems of North
Carolina growers at loss to know
what to do with land retired from
production under government con
tracts.
All restrictions on the planting
of forage crops, including .corn, has
been removed from the non-con
tracted acres on farms whose own
ers have signed tobacco contracts,
E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist at
State College, has been notified by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration at Washington. In ad
dition to allowing as much food and
forage crops as is desired to be
planted on the acres not rented to
the government, tobacco growers are
also permitted to plant and harvest
all forage crops, except corn and
grain sorghums, on the rented acres.
Heretofore, Mr. Floyd said, the
ruling , has been that only one-half
of the rented acres could be put to
forage crops for food and feed under
the. terms <^f the tobacco contract.
Now the entire acreage rented to the
government can be planted to forage
crops, except corn, and the retired
acres also may be pastured or hay
may be harvested from them.
"This hew ruling has been estab
lifihed because of the prevailing
drought in'thd mid-west and other
parts of'the -nation," Floyd said last
night "At first the ruling applied
only to the drought designated terri
tory but now it has been extended
to apply to the .entire, country. This
will greatly , increase the possible use
of the contracted acres since the
original contract permitted only one
half of the acres to be used for the
production of food and feed. Those
who might wish to grow such crops '
as covtpms and soybeans on their
pented acres may do so in conform
ance with the ruling." ' ' >
Mr. Floyd said he had prepared a
letter to county farm agents explain
ing the new uses to which the general
contracted acres on tobacr} farms
could be pat '

Pitt Count* Man Is
Held Up By Negro
1
After Being Robbed Is
Taken to Horse Lot
and Tied to Post
Greenville, June 6.?Peter Brown,
who resides about four miles from
Greenville, was held up and robbed
of $17.50 Monday night by a young
Negro named Frank Harris, Jr., and
left tied- in the horse lot. Brown
later freed himself.
Harris went to Brown's home
about 10 o'clock and told him he
would like to buy some candy and
cigarettes. Mr. Brown told the Ne- '
gro he had gone to bed and did not
wish to get up. The Negro insisted '
that he let him have the candy and '
cigarettes as he was going to a party.
"You know me," the Negro said.
"It is no one to hurt you."
Mr. Brown got up, went to his
shop, got the candy and cigarettes, '
whereupon the Negro leveled a re- ?
volver and said: "Hands up. I want 1
your money. Give it up or I shall 1
kill you."
Mr. Brown said: "Don't do that.
I'll give you my money if that is ]
what you want."
"Talk in a whisper or I'll kill i
you," the Negro said. j
Then he made Brown turn his J
back to him while he took the I
money from his pocket. The Negro
still holding the gun on Brown, !
marched him to the horse lot, .made ]
him untie a rope from a bridle, tie
a loop in both ends of the rope, then .
made him stick his hands into the j
loop. He then led Brown to a post, j
tied him there with both hands be- (
hind him. ]

Opening of Park
Is Made Possible
Senate Passes Bill Re
ducing Number Acres
For Area
? ? i
Washington, June 6. ? Formal
opening of the Great Smoky moun- j
tain national park was made pos- j
sible today when the Senate passed j
the bill already pased by the House t
reducing from 430,000 to 400,000 t
acres the mimimum area for the park
thus conforming to the area already i
in the possession of the government. ,
The act also passes to the park
all lands heretofore purchased in ?
the area for coaservation purposes .
with funds which were not availa- .
ble for park purposes.
One dispute between North Caro
Una and Tennessee as to the park <
was settled today when A. B. Cam
merer, chief of the park service, an
nounced that there will be not one
but two headquarters for the park,
one in each state.
It was also announced that the .
location of the highway connecting 1
the park with the Shenandoah Val- ;

announced next Tuesday by Public N
Works Administrator Harold Ickes. 1

Farmville's Municipal
Pool Opened Wednesday
? ?? ' ?
Large Crowds In At
tendance Daily; Beau
tification Movement is
Begun
Lackihg in organized playground
facilities for these many years, the
problem for suitable recreation for
children of this community, rendered
more pressing by the shortened school
term, has been solved to a great ex
tent by the splendid municipal swim
ming pool, which was made possible
by the CWA, and formally opened to
the public on Wednesday, Jpne 6.
While primarily planned for the
youth of the community, the pool will
doubtless prove popular among the
adults, as swimming is invigorating
and healthful to young and old alike,
not only developing practically every
muscle in the body of the child, but
exercising and keeping those of the
older person in excellent trim.
Farmville's dream of many years
has been realized at last, and the
opening, with its scheduled exhibi
tion diving and swimming contests,
brought many swimmers and visitors
from other towns. Jack Horton was
announced winner of the swimming
contest, and was presented with a
week's privilege ticket.
Among interested o?ut of town peo
ple in attendance on Wednesday were:
E. B. Roach, of Raleigh, represent
ing the State Board of Health; Dr.
McGeachy, County Health Officer,
Mr. Futrell, Welfare Officer, the
State's Federal Auditor of the CWA,
Wayne county's Health Officer, and
several from Tarboro and Rocky
Mount.
W. A. McAdams, who has had the
supervision of the building of the
pool and the installation of the filter
ing plant and other equipment in
;harge, together with Mayor Lewis,
Ft. A. Joyner, Dr. W. M. Willis, J. W.
loyner and George W. Davis, the last
:hree named being the committee
;rom the town board, all working wi
llingly in coordination with Federal
forces for the successful culmination
>f the project, express themselveB as
veil pleased with results and feel a
jus?ifiaWr pride iiT"the-achievement,
vhich was largely the y>iltc(jme of
Federal funds, and which in pfevid
ng employment for many jobless
nen during the winter and spring,
las furnished the municipality with
i fine recreational center.
The possibilities for a bea/utiful
)ark about the pool are there, await
ng development into a playground
md beauty spot for the entire sec
ion, and a movement for beautifica
,ion is already under way.
The pool is equipped with modern
iltering plants, and the 191,500 gal
ons of water therein is purified _
ivery eight or nine hours, there be
ng a continual flow of water through
.he filtering tanks. The pool and
rnth houses are constructed to con
'orm, in every particular, with the
?pecifications and requirements of the
state Board of Health.
The expense has been necessarily
leavy, but those in charge had the fu
ure in mind when purchasing the
)est grade of equipment, and it is
loped that every person, who has any
nterest at all in the swimming pool
vill purchase, immediately, a season
icket for all members of the family,
who enjoy this sport, in order that
some ready cash may be available
or its operation. Charges for use
?f the showers, bath house and pool
vill be 10c an hour for adults and 5c
in hour for children under 12 years
if age; towels 2 for 5c. Those hav
ng season tickets may use the pool
it all times when it is open, the co3t
if same being $5.00 for adults and
'>3.50 for children under 12.
Every summer the people of Farm
ille have found it necessary to take
heir children to some other town or
lathing place for the advantages of
i swim; the convenience, the cleanli
less, and the conservative charges of
he municipal pool b~ing the finest
ipportunity for advancement of the
lealth and happiness that has ever
?een offered to citizens here.
The cooperation of the workers,
he CWA officials and citizens of the
own; has been very fine and it is be
ieved and hoped that the continued
ooperation between the town officials
ind citizens'will make the swimming
>ool one of the greatest assets in
Farmville, not only to the boys and
[iris, but also to the men and women
if this and nearby communities.
