Total Poundage Goes Above Sixteen and a Half Million Pounds AMER1CANLEGI0N NATIONAL^ONVENTIOFASKS M ?1ATE SONUS PAYMENT Steady Improvments Seen In Agricultural Conditions Colombia, S. C., Oct. 25.?There is evideaee of a steady improvement in agricsHural credit conditions, accord ing to Dr. W. I. Myers, governor of the Ffczm Credit Administration, who spent two days visiting farming sec tion af the third district comprising the states of North Carolina, South Carotins, Georgia and Florida. Dr. Myeas accompanied by S. M. Gar wood, production credit commission er, mm en rente to Washington after a tear ad fanning sections in the South and West. "With more than $1^50,000,000 lent by the land bank and land bank commissioner during the past 16 months," said Governor Myers "the job oi refinancing farmers' depres sion debts into long term interest loans la malt over the crest and the short term financing units are now in a position to provide agriculture with permanent and adequate credit support." As an indication that the revival of agriealtural credit and the thawing of farm assets in the South Atlantic states has been especially prompt > following the refinancing of debts and the Increase in farm commodiy prices. Governor Myers pointed out that as of September 1 over 99 per cent of the interest installments due on the new first and second mortgage loans of the land bank commissioner had been paid and to date over one half of the money loaned this year for crop and stock producti m in Georgia, Florida and the Carolina^ by the newly organised production credit associations has already been collected. Dr. Myen said that approximately $115,000,000 was loaned to farmers in the four South Atlantic states from the organization of the farm credit administration to September 1, of which over $74^MXM)00 was ad vanced to refinance farm mortgage and other indebtedness and the re maining portion for production . and marketing purposes. The extention of this large volume of credit on a co-operative basis, Dr. Myers said, "has witnessed a steady decrease in farm mortgage foreclos ures, farm land values in the South Atlantic states have advanced over 7 percent and the flow of more ade quate credit has enabled farmers to carry on their operations and make the most of increasing farm commod ity prices." The refinancing program has not meant a large increase in farmers' overhead indebtedness, Governor Myers sakL Over 80 per cent of the amount loaned on farm mortgage security in the South Atlantic states, he said, daring the past year was ad vanced to pay off debts accumulated before the farm credit administra tion began its work, the object being to refinance farm debts on a basis of normal values making long tern loans repayable in keeping with the producing value of the borrower's farm. "The Farm Credit Administra tion," Dr. Myers said, "has been call ed open to extend a large volume a' credit under the recovery program, but it is not an emergency organiza tion to lend government money. It is concerned with the estaoasnment of sound and permanent credit in stitution* for farmers and it is. not lending meney Drum the government through these institutions.

Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd,! infamous outlaw whose bullets blazed a crimson, path over a dozen States, is dead. Armed to' the hilt, the brag gart, sought as the "trigger man" in the Kansas City union station kill ing of June, 1933, turned tail and ran when the law caught up with him. Fifteen bullets tore into his body, each in the back, as the des perado, listed as public enemy No. 1 since the death of John Dillinger three months ago, was mortally wounded late yesterday at an iso lated farm seven miles from here. .His Nemesis was Melvin Purvis, Department of Justice man who got John Dillinger, aside by three Federal agents and four East Liverpool po lice. Hunger driven, Floyd emerged from the Beaver Creek valley in the sparsely settled Brucefield section. He rapped out the backdoor of the house of Mrs. Conkle. He ate. It was a good meal, he told the widow, and paid her a dollar. Out in the farmyard he met Stewart Dyke, brother of Mrs. Conkle, who had been husking corn and asked for a ride to Youngsville. Dyke refused, saying he had to go home. IH take you to Clarkson, though, he told Floyd, and backed up the car. Floyd got into the rear seat and Mrs. Dyke sat beside her husband. At that mo ment two automobiles loaded with officers appeared. The desperado pulled his gun, jumped from the car and started for a nearby wooded ridge. 1 "Halt!" yelled Purvis. Floyd ran. "Fire"' ordered Purvis, and fifteen bullets tore into the Oklahoma out law's body and he went down fatal ly wounded.

Fight in Con gress; Roosevelt Veto Certain i ??? Washington, Oct. 25.?The admin istration spurred detailed plans today to resist a drive Tor cash payment of the soldiers' bonus that is sure to mark the coming session of Con gress. At the White House there was no comment forthcoming on the Amer ican Legion's vote for the bonus to day, but it was recalled that Presi dent Roosevelt spoke in unmistak able terms against immediate pay ment of the adjusted service certifi cates in dedicating a Veterans' hos pital' at Roanoke, Va., last week, i Preparing to attack, the Veterans' ! Administration put together an esti mate that it would cost $2,506,000,000 , to meet the Legion's demand. That the President would veto an immediate cash payment bill is certain. When the issue was before Congress last spring, the Chief Ex ecutive sent word to Democratic leaders that he would use his veto power if it reached the White House. Although is passed the House, the bonus bill died in the Senate. Many observers here believe the action of the Legion in demanding not only cash payment, but cancel lation of interest oh loans made on the certificates enhances the possibil ity that Congress will approve the proposal. Virtually all felt, however, that in the event of a veto, the Sen ate, if not the House, would sustain the President's position. It requires a two-third majority to override a Presidential veto. Should the Legion's program be come law, Veterans' Administration officials said, the ex-soldiers would receive about $2,006,000,000 of the two and a half billion outlay. The remainder would go to repay money advanced by the government to the life insurance fund and banks for bonus loans. Cancellation of interest charges ion advances made under the 50 per cent loan act, as proposed by the Legion, would add $206,000,000 to the cost of paying the bonus now. Only $1330,000 of this interest has been paid. This would be refunded under the Legion plan. Veterans already have received about $1,800,000,000 in loans on certificates. About $118,000,004 is available, of ficials said, in the government's bon- ? us fund. The balance of the money required to pay the bonus and inter est claims would have to be appro priated by Congress. - The administration's argument against immediate payment is that the certificates do not mature until 1945, having been issued on a 20 year interest-bearing basis, and that to pay them now would mean a pour- ? t in? out of money not yet owed. The bonus has been looked upon in Congressional circles as one of the big humps for the dministra tian in the next session. A terrific fight over the issue is in prospect. Representative Patman (D-Tex.) Iiaa haKm Ka Ttnll miud Ma ?**?? ilVWVU !?**? AVMW1T 4UV I campaign for passage of his meas ure, which has been defeated twice. In addition, Senator MeCarran (D.-Nev.) today said if it came up in the Senate, he would vote for it. Many other candidates for the next Congress have pledged to support the measure. On the other side, the National Economy League served notice to day it would resist the move "with all its strength." Henry H. Curran, director said the payment of & "$8,000,000,000,000 bonus" ten years "before it is due will make it im possible to balance the budget." ? KINSOLVING CALLS IT "ADDITIONAL HOLD-OUT" New York, Oct 25.?Cbariee M. Kinsohring, national commander of the American Veterans' Association, charged tonight that the American Legion convention's request for im mediate payment of the bonus was "This resolution," .said Kinsolving >M _ ml al new ^ 'fi.ililA ?'M ? jV in t statement, nwncn m its vw-y the part of an organization a large proportion of whose membership never saw active service. "The'resolution is incorrect when ft states 'The payment of the said certificates will not create an addi tional debt, bat will discharge and retire an acknowledged contracted ob ligation.' Payment cannot avoid ad ditional indebtedness because the money representing the face value of the certificates is not available by law until 1945 and the acknowledg ed contract obligation is not an ob ligation till that date. "If the Legion had asked for pay ment in full to veterans suffering from service-connected disabilities, there might be some justification and logic to their recommendations, but to' hide behind the government's policy of free spending is little short of "It is fortunate that the Legion membership represents only a mi nority ?f.the hundreds,.of thousands of unselfish war veterans who will have an opportunity.' to express their sentiments oa this issue before American LegioR Asks For Gasli i Settlement A Call For Immediate Payment Of Service Certificates With Re mission of Interest on Previous Loans Miami, Fla., Oct 25.?Raising its voice in a monstrous "Aye" the American Legion today demanding the immediate cash payment of the veterans' bonus certificates by the government The vote was 987 to 183. Payment, Legion officials had estimated, would require an out lay of about two billion dollars by the government North Carolina's 19 votes went solidly for the payment of the bonus. There were some "boos" in the 16th annual convention as some state departments cast their votes against the resolution presented by the legislative committee, calling for the bonus payment and remission of interest on loans that had already been made on the service certificates. New York's solid vote of 81 against the resolution drew "boos" but rol licking cheers rose as Pennsylvania^ 73, California's 60, Illinois' 77 and the votes of other big states went for the bonus. A roll call was demanded by New York, Tennessee, Connecti cut and Illinois, although after the "aye" vote and the "no" vote by voice from the floor Commander Edward A. Hayes, of Decatur, 111., had said "There's no question in the mind of the chair." * * 4* * 11 Adoption oi tne resolution came after only a few speakers had been heard. There were ferquent calls of "question" as each speaker finished. There were "boos" and applause at times when there were speakers for and against th bonus resolution. Immediately after the vote the theatre in which the meeting was held began to empty, testifying to the remark of Ray Kelly, legislative committee chairman, that "this is what we're waiting for" as he pre sented the bonus resolution to the convention. There was no minority report and although Commander Hayes had forecast controversy, the bonus res olution went through to adoption within an hour. MERRY MATRONS The trying days of Reconstruction in the South, and social life in Wash ington in the fifties, were subjects of interesting papers, prepared by Mrs. G. A. Rouse and Mrs. J. 0. Pol lard, and read by Miss Mary Friar Rouse and Mrs. J. W. Lovelace at the meeting of the Merry Matrons, held on Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. M. V. Horton as hostess. French marigolds and other fall flowers in shades of orange and yel low, and the salad plates passed by the hostess at the conclusion of the program, were suggestive of the ap proaching Hallowe'en seasori. Mrs. Arthur F. Joyner, Mrs. J. H. Harris and Mrs, T. W. Lang were especial guests at this meeting. 17 Cases Heard In Civil dirt Most of Cases Heard Yesterday Were Dis posed of by Way of Non-Suit Greenville, Oct 24.?Civil Court with Judge R.

J., Oct 23.?Bruno Hauptmann will be arraigned tomor row on the charge of murdering CoL Chas. A. Lindbergh's infant son. He will plead "not guilty." That is the only answer to a first degree murder indictment which New Jersey law permits. Justice Thos. W.

After the arrangement the New York carpenter will go back to his ceil in the Hunterdon county jail, there to resume his restless pacing and nervous consumption of cigaret tes and await the brief visits of his wife. He has asked that he be al lowed to see his own infant son. For all his stringently controlled agitation Hauptmann according to physicians who have examined him he is in good physical condition. Want Tobacco Program Continued By Government The need for a continued tobacco control program was voiced at State College last week when 500 repre sentative growers unanimously call ed upon the AAA to continue the adjustment program. At the same time, the growers said the 25 per cent Kerr-Smith tax should be raised to give additional protection to contract signers from non-signers who would greatly in crease theiv production if npt placed under restrictions. Many of the growers asked for a 50 per cent tax, but J. B. Hutson, chief of the AAA tobacco section, stated that the present legislation has set the maximum at S3 1-3 per cent. If a higher rate is demanded by the growers, Congress will have to amend the act. Following the general meeting of the growers, the executive committee, which acts in an advisory capacity far the Carolines, Virginia and Geor gia, met and decided to conduct a referendum about the middle of No vember to determine whether all the contract signers wish the Kerr-Smith tax imposed in 1935 and how high tliey wish the tax to be. The executive committee agreed to recommend a continuation of the pro gram but did not decide definitely how long it should last The growers enthusiastically en dorsed the program as it has func tioned thus far and urge that Hutson be empowered to adjust the program U changing conditions from time to time. The discussions were led by Mr. Hutson and Dean L 0. Schaub, of Slate College . Congressman John H. Kerr, co-author of the tobacco con ttel act, spoke briefly. James E. TBJdgpen, assistant to and B.

Over TVo Million More Dollars Paid to Farm ers on This Market This Year Than Last Sales on the Farmville market Friday, heavier than for several days, were expected to be concluded this afternoon, with prices reported as holding firm on all grades, though a great amount of damaged tobacco and common tips were on the floors. Poundage will today go to the six teen and a half million mark. The record books of the Tobacco Board of Trade reveals that this mar ket, during the first four days of the 10th week, last season had sold 200, 000 pounds more of the weed than this year, but the receipts for those same days this year, reach a total of $44,000 above that received for the much greater amount of the weed. The current season's figures show 16,090,212 pounds sold, two and a half million less than last season at this date. However, farmers have received more than two million, a hundred and eighty-four thousand dollars for their tobacco with an average of $30.67 against $16.16 of last season. The local market is now receiving in the daily offerings much scrap and other common types of tobacco. Good prices, however, continue to be paid for the better grades and farm ers are being urged by tobacconists to market these as soon as possible. E. A. STANFIELD BURIED HERE SUNDAY The body of E. A.
