WarreH Warns
Of Potato Plot
Sees Organized Effort
To Discredit New Law;
Urges Farmers To
Rally
Washington, N. C., Sept. 24.?At
tacks on the potato bill bearing
his name are a part of a general plot
and - scheme to undermine and de
stroy the entire AAA program, Con
gressman Lindsay C. Warren said
here as he sent out a call to po
tato-growers throughout the nation
to attend the meeting called by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration October 3 in Wash
ington.
Mr. Warren said the present situ
ation was similar to the tobacco
problem in its early days of crop
control, and he considered the pres
ence of the growers in large num
bers to be vital and necessary.
The Congressman said that fie
would refuse at this time to answer
the false attacks being made against
the potato bill, but did say that
they were not coming from potato
growers, who, he declared, are over
whelmingly for the bill.
The attacks on the measure, he
stated, are a part of a general plot
and scheme to undermine and de
stroy the entire AAA program with
its widespread ramifications.
He said that potatoes were the
only mojor crop without a pro
gram and that as a result potato
farmers were bankrupt. Express
ing the opinion that it would be a
real financial sacrifice for grow
srs to go to Washington, Mr. War
ren said he hoped for their own
good that they would attend.
Congressman Bland and Darden
of Virginia; Barden, of North Caro
lina, Brewster, of Maine, and sev
eral Western Congressmen will be
present and Mr. Warren stated that
be was urging Senator J. W. Bailey
and Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus
to attend.
"We have given the" growers the
bill they desired and endorsed.
Growers in 83 states strongly favor
it. It is today the law of the land,
and we are going there to see what
the AAA is going to do about it I
shall say nothing further on the
subject until I know what program
is outlined."

To W.P.A. CM
This Amount Set Aside
In Work Relief Act for
Loans or Grants On
Non-Federal Works
Projects
Washington, Sept 24.?The Works
Progress Administration's cash regis*
ter yesterday rang up an additional
; $800,000,000 intended to stimulate its
dragging campaign to transfer 8,
500,000 individuals from the dole to
jobs by November L
One of the lint official acts of
the President upon retaining to the
capital from Hyde Park, N. Y., was
to add this sum to the $900,000,
000 set aside in the work-relief act
for loans or grants or non-federal
works projects.
WPA officials/said broad cuts in
funds for such activities as highway
construction, grade crossing elimina
tion, and rural rehabilitation and
electrification would be necessary
to obtain the $800,000,000.
But no authoritative predictions
were ventured on just where the cur
tailments would falL
The President's executive order
boosting the total for WPA lonas* or
grants to $1,700,000,000 was based
on a provision in the $4,800,000,000
works act allowing him to use 20
per cent of the total to increase any
individual appropriation "if he finds
it necessary" to effectuate purposes
of the act.'
With only 936,000 persons moved
from relief rolls to pay rolls at the
close of last week, WPA faced the
gigantic task of creating an average
of more than 64,000 jobs daily to
reach the November goal.
No new reports of progress of the
drive were reported before Thurs
day. Officials said, however, they ex
pected a big bulge in new jobs to
come in about a fortnight.

Byrnes Predicts
A Reduction In
Lett) On Cotton i
- 7
Says Under Cotton Con
trol Law It will be Pos
sible To Lower Levy
Assuring Greater Re
turns To Growers
Washington, Sept 24.?The base
period for consumption of 1935 al
lotments to cotton growers would
be changed under a proposal advanc
ed today* by Senator Byrnes of South }
Carolina.
Byrnes suggested to the farm ad
ministration that 1938, *34, *85 be '
made the base period instead of 1
the four years from 1928 to 1931. <
Accurate government records as to j
acreage and production were avail- <
able only for 1935-37 be said.
A reduction of three-fourths of a <
cent in the six-cents-a-pound tax on ,
cotton produced in excess of Bank-* j
head Act allotments was predicted ,
yesterday by Senator Byrnes. \
After calling at the White House,
Byrnes said that under the cotton (
control law it would be possible to ?
lower the levy, thus assuring a great
er return to 'growers.
Previously, Senator Bankhead of 1
Alabama had called at the White j
House to discuss the cotton situation.
He recommended establishment of
commercial credits abroad to stim
ulate the cotton export marfet.
Bankhead expressed confidence
that such a plan, which he said 1
should be the function of the ex- c
port-import bank, would be worked *
out by the President. 1
The two Senators, leaders in an *
I unsuccessful effort in . the closing c
days of the last session of Congress
j to write a 12-cent cotton loan into *
| law, called upon the President sep- *
[arately, but they were together in a
I conference with Chester C. Davis, the *
[ farm administrator. 2
f The Farm Administration's sub- 8
sidy system, assuring farmers 12 I
cents* a pound on cotton produced 8
within Bankhead allotments, and the
base period upon which 1986 allot- ?
ments are to be computed were dis- *
cussed, ?

Scott said 1,600,000 of the appli

md an order has been placed for
printing 500,000 more, making the

An extra force of 60 persons is
working now handling these appli
