Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's high,, commissioner, today imposed fines of 550 each on William J. Klem, senior umpire of the National League, and William Delancy, St Louis Cardinal Catcher, for the use of "over-ripe words" during the World Series. j A decision in the case of Joe Med wick, Cardinal outfielder who was the central figure in the near-riot of Tuesday's final game, will be re served for a few days, Judge Landis said. Judge Landis described Klem's ar gument with Leon (Goose) Goslin, Tiger outfielder, which took place Monday in a crowded hotel, lobby, as "unbecoming a ? major league um pire." Both Used Words "Both Klem and Delancy used over-ripe words for which they should be fined," Landis said of the two incidents. "Imagine how it looked when one of the* women in that crowd in the lobby turned and asked someone who was the man using prof tine language was 2nd herd that someone say "why, that's Umpire Bill Klem, of the National league," I'm not going to stand for that sort of thing." He said it was the first time in his 14 years as baseball commissioner that he had found it necessary to fine an umpire. Umpire Clarence Owens fined De lancey $200 for abusive language in St. Louis. Landis said the fine was illegal. Release Tei Certificates Cotton Growers Obtain Exemption Blanks Permitting Them To Gin Staple ' Greenville, Oct 10.?Distribution of cotton tax exemption certificates got under way at the farm depart ment here today and the ginning of cotton, which has been held up for several days because of failure of certificates to arrive, moved off smoothly in several communities. Letters, notifying growers of the arrival of the certificates, were mailed out from the farm office Saturday and hundreds of farmers m all sections of the county were expected to appear at the office of Fazm Director E. F. Arnold within the next few days and obtain per mission to go ahead with ginnings. A considerable part of the crop has been picked in some sections of the county and receipt of the certifi cates was good news to growers who had hauled their staple to gins to be ready when they were authorized to go ahead with ginnings. The certificates are available to all growers who applied for allotments under the Bankhead act, except those who applied on the 33 to 34 per cent base. The latter will be handled on a 10 per cent allotment to come out at a later date, the farm -head said. Farmers were requested by the farm director to bring all tenants with them when they apply for cer tificates or have them sign the au thorization blank enclosed in the let ters mailed out Saturday. Woman Hit By Train Gastonia, Oct. 10.?Mrs. Hanes, 45, was seriously injured when she was struck by a freight engine while walking on t3? tracks at a crossing near here.

Hutson Coming, ta State Within Next Ten Days to Sleet Agricul tural Leaders ' - Washington, October 11 ? Follow ing a discussion here today with four North Carolinians, J. B. Hutson, chief of the tobacco section of the A. A. A'., announced this afternoon that he will go to Raleigh; within the next ten days for a conference with the fall committee , of the North Carolina Tobacco Growers' Association and other inter*-sted parties regarding acreage reduction plans. No definite plans for the meeting in Raleigh will be arranged until tomorrow, bat the conference has been tentatively' set for next "Wed nesdasL^!-; , Daring the tobacco,'holiday last year, the balk of the tobacco farm ers signed contracts agreeing to re duce their acreage up. "tp 30 pel' cent for 1984 pnd 1985. ' Under'thei spur of those contracts, the.average; price Of'' tobacco last year advanced by a full ^ per cent over the year M?ore and there has been, another aldv.ance tIBS J?ar of more than 50 per cent dwr test year. .Four leaders hi thc^ successful Mr. Hutson to start at once a, sign-up c^ -v^ih^u^ m Raleigh and a definite policy Will probably be formulated shortly after that meeting. The Kerr-Smith bill carries a tax of not less than 25 per cent nor more than 33 1-2 per cent on tobacco not sold under contract and the smaller rate of tax is the one now levied. Under the ? voluntary reduction plan, each farmer was allowed ' the option of reducing acreage 28 or 30 per cent and cooperating farm ers permitted to exchange tax ex emption certificates among them- . selves. ; \ The flexibility of the bill, the fact that allotments about equal produc tion, which was this year held to slightly below consumption it year; and the high price of tobacco have combined to make the J?*arr Smith bill far more popular than the similar Eanhhead cotton bill. It freely is predicted that there will be far less difficulty in obtain ing the three-fourths majority re quired for retention of the Kerr Smith bill than in obtaining: the two-thirds majority required for re tention. of the Bankhead bill. ' Those here to confer with Mr. Hutson today were L, V. Morrill, Jr., of Snow Hill, who organized the movement which led to the 1938 holi day; Dr. J. Y. Joyner, of LaGrange, Jong a leader in farm campaigns; Claude T. Hall, of Woodadale, presi dent of the North Carolina Tobacco advisory commission; and E, VlWebb, of Kinston, formgr president of the Eastern North Carolina Warehouse Association, t "Mr. Hutson assured us that ho would give bur proposals earnest and immediate consideration*' said Mr. Morrill, who acted as spokes tae farmers are in favor o^ con Mear-Old Boy Is Told He's a Xing Peter. 2nd, Succeeds Slain Father As King of Yugoslavia London, October 10 ? A sleepy eyed eleven-year-old boy, was told to day he must henceforth tread the roya^ path of a monarch. Little Pteter Karageorge was called shortly after dawn from his bed in the Sanroyd school and thrust into a day of bewildering realities. He was told that he now was Peter II, king of Yugoslavia, successor to King Alexander I slain yesterday at Marseille. ? After a hasty breakfast and after being told his father was dead, Peter was taken to the Yugoslav legation and was preparing to join his mother, Queen Marie, in France. Seems Dazed After three poignant hours during which a steady stream of diplomatic callers visited the legation, Peter seemed somewhat dazed, but with a stiff upper lip, he later was hurried to a hotel for a reunion with his ma* temal grandmother, the dowager Queen Marie of Rumania. As the young king emerged from the legation and was driven to the hotel* the crowds in front stood in almost deathlike silence. While the Yugoslav legation re mained the chief London center of interest in connection with the Mar seille tragedy, a hotel on Piccadilly also had been the scene of consider able activity. In it Queen Marie of Rumania is making her home during her London visit. ? -? *1 A. rnjice rreseiu One of the visitors there was Prince George, who paid his visit under the title of the Duke of Kent, which he used officially for the first time. Meanwhile Yugoslav officials were busy with plans for the movements of the roy&l party, and at noon, the boy king emerged from the legation, and carefully guarded, motored to Piccadilly to his grandmother. Two hours later Cb$ young king and Queen Marie left for Paris. Last night the housemaster was notified to arouse Peter earlier than his dormitory mates. With sleep still in his eyes he was awakened, ? mes sage was whispered in bis ear that urgent news awaited hira in the head master's office. Dressing hastily, Peter followed the housemaster to the school office where his tutor C. C. Parrott and the headmaster were seated. Probably still wondering what school rules he had broken, the net/s was imparted that changed him from Peter Kara george -to King Peter JI, Breakfast was hastily serygd and without even time to bid his. school mates adieu, Peter was eoroute by motorcar for his country's legation here, his ultimate destination being Belgrade, a regency and eventually the throne of that troubled country his fate father had ruled with die1 tatorial power. As the automobile left the school grounds on which Peter yesterday played games with his mates, ' the new king looked straight ahead as though wondering what the future has Si store for him. Peter celebrated his eleventh birth day September 9, at Bled, Yagtn slavia. |Credit7ifeMkHl Ready To Make Loans I t Greenville, Oct 10.?The Green ville ' Productive Credit Association [serving' the counties of Pitt and Greene, is now in position to make cotton commodity loans to growers who desire to market their cotton in ah orderly manner, according to J an announcement by J. C. G&Uoway. secretary of the nidation. : V , V\ The loans will be made on the basis of 12 cents per pound for cot> ton classed low middling or better in brade and seven-eights inch or better in staple and 11 cents per pound for such cotton classed low middling or better in grade i??J, below seven-eights incS in staple. ? The interest rate will be 4 per cent per annum, and interest is charged only for thf time the money Is Pries Structure Must Go Higher; ???? President Not Satisfied With Extent of Ascen sion ; Stabilization Later. ? ? Washington, October 10 ? Presi dent Roosevelt made it plain today that he feels prices should go higher, and immediately there was specula-1 tion as to whether further currency experimentation was planned to bring this about. The only word forthcoming from [ the White House was that price de termining factor in future monetary steps. The price range aimed at by Mr, Roosevelt was not specifically defin ed. The President was definitely rep resented as feeling, however, that a further advance was necessary? to bring the assets on the nation's bal ance sheet well ahead of its liabili ties. Once reasonably satisfactory prices are attained, Mr. Roosevelt hopes to stabilise them in order to eliminate the violent fluctuations of the past Determined to have the price in crease, he is at the same time op posed to anything approximating a runaway uphilL Not Far Enough Mr, Roosevelt's belief that a price increase was imperative has been made known on other occasions, but the explanation today was that while progress has been made, the admin istration intends to press further along the same road) The President feels that while as sets now somewhat overbalance the debt burden?where a year and a half ago the reverse was true?that even this is admittedly a matter for argument. Back in the boom days of 1929, for example, the nation's essets as a whole were from $75,000,000,000 to $160,000,000,000 above the liabilities, Mr. Roosevelt, however, has not indicated that he.has any intention of returning to the inflated values of the late 1920's and even the bal ance in the supposedly halcyon days of 1926 does not thoroughly meet with his favor. The price relation for some com modities in 1926 might be satisfac tory, the figure for other years wogid ?? tey for other products, in feie opinion- ft this connection, it was ppiflted that the definition of parity prigf in th* Agricultural Adjustment Ant if the price rela tionship of fa?m cwww##?* & Pth er goods in the 10OHW4 peppd What form hew Fftuch, if any, currency experimentation FPffld ]6e restored to was a matter f9?

C., spoke at length to Rotarians here at their weekly meet, upon the plan of increased consumption of tobacco and reduction of Fedral tax as essential to creating a greater demand, and of equalising the acreage cut. in or der that all tobacco fanners may en joy a fairer share in the benefits. The speaker was introduced by Joe Rasberry, who was in charge of the program for the evening.

New Poundage, Receipts Record Made This Week Scrap Tobacco Appear ing On Floors Under Tobacco Code Require ment The 8th week of the current to bacco marketing season closes today, (Friday), with a medium heavy sale on the floors, which boosts the poundage above the 14 million mark, and with prices reported as holding firm. A new high daily poundage all time record was set on the Farmville market Monday, when 580,866 pounds were sold for $221,539.71, which also tops the record in receipts for a single day's offering, and the average of $38.68 missed the high peak of the current season by only a few cents. All in all, it was a red letter day and growers were highly pleas ed at checks received for their weed. Sales were comparatively light for the succeeding three days but the price situation continued high and farmers, in happy spirits, watched their tobacco auctioned off at prices considered the highest in many years. Official figures, compiled by the Tobacco Board of Trade, through Thursday, revealed that 1,018,418 pounds brought planters $375,724.61 at an average of $36.89, those of the season showing a total of 13,704, 546 pounds, which sold for $4,080, 535.34 at an average of $29.78. Today's sale is expected to boost the season's gross poundage to above the 14 million mark, and prices are reported by Sales Supervisor J. T. Bundy as strong on the better grades and firm on medium and inferior quality leaf. With a large percentage of the 1934 crop having been disposed of, scrap leaf is now being offered on the warehouse floors, as this is the only way it may be sold thi$_ year. In former years scrap was sold direct to redriers at the conditioning plants but under the present code it must be sold on the warehouse floors and charg ed on the farmers' sales allotment cards.
