? l' Eliminate Price-Fixing In AAA Amendments - ? ? ? ? ? ? >J .)Mt|)ii?'w! I."' Alteration la Designed To Make Legislation Infallible in Coart, j t ->? ? Washington, August 6.?Senator Smith, of South Caroling, chairman of the committee ou agriculture, having been on hand yesterday aft er a visit to his home, the conferees of the house and senate yesterday afternoon concluded their labors on the much revised AAA smendmentw which, it is devoutly hoped in offi cial circles, will henceforth be found to accord reasonably well with the constitution. The last revision of the celebrated amendments was made neeessary by the derision o? the Supreme court in the NBA case As agreed upon yesterday price fixing is eliminated, with a view to strengthening the amendments on the legal side, save with respect to milk and its products; suits against the government are permit ted to processing taxpayers, through the George amendment, after, the facts shall have been determined by the bureau of internal revenue, but the Warren potato bill, which has encountered considerable opposi tion even in official circles, goes back to the house for a separate vote. Chester Davis, AAA administra tor, recently said that administra tion of the details of the potato rill would present more difficulty than would be experienced in administer ing both the Bankhead cotton con trol bill, and the Kerr-Smith tobacco rill, which were retained in the bill by the conferees. The export bounty provision, sup ported by Chairman Marvin Jones, of the house committee,- and by Sen ator Bailey, was reinstated after it had been dropped out by the senate committee, preumably in agree ment with AAA officials. Secretary Wallace has been disposed to look coldly upon this bounty proposition, and there has always been some question whether it would be possi ble for the government to promote the exportation of cotton goods and farm products without running in to the anti-dumping laws of a num ber of nations. Many have favored the bounty feature, however, be cause of the doubts they entertain about the validity of the AAA, or the processing tax system upon which the farm organisation rests. Senator Smith, who, as chairman of the senate agriculture committee, headed the conferees, had unmanu factured cotton eHmhiated from this export rebentuxe provision, but the secretary pf agriculture has full power to make payments on manu factured cotton goods shipped abroad and thereby stimulate con sumption of cotton. The cotton tex tile institute strongly urged enact ment of this provision. *9l It is estimated that the appropria tion will amount to IIOS^KMWO the first year. Those sponsoring the debenture provision are satisfied It will prove of much benefit to the cotton farmer, the manufheturer and textile labor. The house conferees accepted the riders to the senate hOl extending the Ufa of the Bankhead one year, for tobacco three years. The Bankhead provision was amended to provide exemption for small growers who do not produce more than two bales. To get tip two bale exemption, however, they must have a two bale base production. This provision is already in operation by fixaidflit fliiosMBit'r order, but it is now made mandatory. Another change provides payment of 25 cents a bale to gimmes for their added work as a result of keeping records under the ' Bank head act ? dutng^ an Mom atatari, vat I made is the WD regarding right* of proceaaors to Ma fit recovery in I earn the prm laatug tax it declared meat to the senate bill giving the I pneeaaore this right vas adopted, oat tne eonzeraea provwea zariaer that prior to the soft the pwTi.tr I moat go before the luHectorlit to proceaaiiur tax vaa nob nosed on I the eonaiunei. ner vaa it taken eat of the price paid the producer.

Commissioners AppfM* ^gggnssu Greenville, Aug. 7.?A building program involving an expendiaure of $275,000 was tentatively approved qy the Pitt County Board of Commis sioners in adjourned session jit the court house here yesterday afternoon. The program, which iB just in the. embryonic stage, calls,-for a build ing to house $e pubEc health and farm departments, new school buildings and additions and repairs to several others in all sections of the county! and colored schools are involved in the progxiun, which was outlined to the board recently; by memhwrs^ of the Bpard man ij^boa^d, stated today appli* cation has already been filed with the WPA administration for the required sum. Forty-five percent of the government fund would be a di rect grant to the county and the | ^ b^ch ,j ....... ^ .. v..',-. ? j ^ ' both the health arid farm depart ments. The farm department has been located in the Edwards' build ing back of the court house for sev eral years. The need of new school buildings, additions and repairs has been de scribed as acute in recent years, and while the entire $225,000 may not be required to complete the pro gestin, the board planned to take care of the situation as far as pos sible in all sections of the county. discuss a system of disbursements.

Coan, Jr., of the State Works Progress Administra j tion also announced yesterday that 20 project applications calling for a [total expenditure of over $1,000,000 [would be forwarded to Washington for approval Thursday night. Mailing of the additional projects this week will increase to over $8, 000,000 the value of projects pro posed by the State WPA since July 18. None of the projects have yet been given approval in Washington. Projects have been forwarded to Washington as follows: Two on July 18, calling for $424,000 in Federal funds, $20,000 in local funds; ten on July 25, calling for $1,921,000 Federal, $2,258,000 local; 27 in Au gust 1, calling for $1,501,000 Federal and $1,461,000 local. Projects to be forwarded this week will call for over $500,000 from local agen cies. The interest of the State WPA in a recreational center program was stated in a letter from Administra tor Coan to Miss Sally Ringe, Pro fessional Service Projects, Washing-, ton. Mr. Co&n write: "We think a State-wide recreational center pro gram is as desirable as a State-wide armory building program (under which the WPA plans to build 47 ? armories) and shall use our best ef forts in that direction." Recreational centers are needed in various rural type counties as meet ing places for American Legion posts and auxiliaries, Boy Scout troops, civic clubs and other organi zations, stated Mr, Coan. To cost from $5,000 to $15,000, the centers could be constructed where local agencies would be willing to furnish land and a fair proportion of material costs, said the State di? rector. The WPA would be disposed to furniuh labor for such projects and money for materials up to 20 per cent of the total labor cost. Facilities suggested for such cen ters would include a clubhouse with a large central assembly hall, con ference rooms, indoor playroom, shower baths and improvement to the grounds including landscaping, construction of lakes and play grounds. - Tobacco Program Jo Be Continued A f;i|a^rovemept, the contracts provide that an . h\ crease in the amount of landtoaofl building crops may be made ontfre tara^eqnal to the number at acres 1^80 period, | Prepare To Drain Small j p* --fffrr' Health JDepartment Re queshfeNew Projects Be Submitted by Au gust26 v ? ? Following the Health Depart ment's efforts in the larger malarial drainage projects such ar Swif? Creek, Contentnea Creek,' Buzzard's Pond, etc., the department turned its-attention to the smaller areas throughout the countyj^j drained by ditches and cauahtfe. V Since Pitt County is generaHBw malaria-ridden county, it is by Doctor Ennett, the heaKb offi cer, that nothing will improve the health conditions of ' Pitt Connfp like adequate drainage. The health department has learn ed from Mr. Edwin J. Hill, Works Progress Administration Director for District No. 2, New Bern, N. C., that the drainage of these canals and ditches will not call for large organizations such as Swift Creek, Contentnea Creek, etc., whe.e citi zens bear a very large proportion of the cost of such drainage, but that it will be necessary for only a small organization, for each organization will cover only a smali area and that the cost of such project to the citizens will be very small. For in stance, Instead of the citizens hav ing to put up money for expensive equipment, it is planned that per haps -enough spades, 1 shovels, brad ing slips, etc., can be secured In each neighborhood for this work. It appears to the health depart ment that this is an opportunity which may not again be available to our people, for the Government will furnish all actual labor for this drainage without one cent of cott to the citizens themselves. As in dicated above, the plan is that the interested citizens of each locality, of small neighborhood which has a ? ? ? ? -A -tLi TJ malarial drainage project, stroma organize and send in a request to the health department, asking that such drainage project be included & the county-wide malarial drainage program. Of course each project will be judged on a health basis. And we would like to urge one thing, and that is, that you not de lay or put off action in tills mat ter, desires that all projects be sub mitted in the Pitt County Health Department prior to the opening of the local tobacco market, Wdi is August the 26th. We mean that the projects on time will have first considera tion, and that projects submitted ' after this date may not be approv ed. : It is requested that such citizens as are interested in having this work done in their communities get in touch with one of the following members of the joint committee representing the "Pitt County Board cf Health and the Pitt County Board of Agriculture. The members - of this committee will be glad fo advise or confer with any interested citizen at any time.
