Unfergh hmmmi l?r End ing lm' AM S?*t Stmttk Statement Signed By Leaders I n Russian Air Force: Alleged 'Lindy' Belittled Air Force. Moscow, Oct. 10. ? Soviet Rus sia's leading airmen denounced Colonel Charles A. Lindberg today in a statement accusing him of spreading lies about -Soviet air strength to give Prime Minister Chamberlain of Britain argument for the surrender of Csechoalovakia. (The Soviet statement apparently arose from unverified reports in two London newspapers that Lindbergh had been critical of the Soviet air force. (His visit to Russia figured in a guarded statement during House of Commons debate last Thursday. El len Wilkinson, a Laborite, said that rwwnle" had told Chan immcMVitM cellor Hitler than in no circumstances v. ould Britain fight for Czechoslova kia and adHed that "it is a very ser ious thing that when a very promi nent American airman" was being lunched by these people "they assur ed him it was impossible for this country to do anything" because Ger many's air force was "better than Russian, British and French com bined.") The Moscow statement was signed by 11 Soviet airmen, including Civil Aviation Chief Vasily Molokoff. Ten of the group had been designated of ficially as "herooes of the Soviet un * yy ion. The statement called Lindbergh a "stupid liar, a lackey and a flatterer of German Fascists." It accussed Lindbergh of telling guests of Lady Astor in London that Germany's air fleet was powerful enough to defeat the combined air strength of France, England, the Soviet union and Czechoslovakia.

The Daily Herald, Labor paper, today quoted American-born Lady Astor as de claring a "complete lie" the report Col. Charles* A. Lindbergh pronoun ced the Soviet air force inefficient during a visit at her home. "Colonel Lindbergh has not dined with us since he returned from Rus - sia and. in fact, I have never given a dinner party for him," the news paper quoted her. "It is a complete lie, too, that CoL Lindbergh has ever made any sort of pronouncement about the Russian air force or about anything else dur ing a dinner party at my house or in my house at all." Colonel Lindbergh was denounced by eleven Soviet airmen in a letter published in Moscow today. They as " ? A _ serted he was a guest in -Lady As ter's home when he made statements derogatory" of Soviet aviation . and may have encouraged influential Con servative circles ^to urge Prime Min ister Neville Chamberlain to go ahead with his agreement to permit Adolf Hitler to desmember Czechoslovakia.

Sims, Washington Cor respondent) . - '**? - FARMERS MUST DECIDE -? ESSENTIAL WALLACE'S SPEECHES CROP CONTROL VITAL SURPLUSES COSTLY ?j' . . j. ? ? >! Farmers in the United States, es pecially those who raise wheat and cotton, might as well , make up their minds to do some studying and clear thinking in regards to the agricul tural situation. Because these two products are produced on an export basis, it is necessary for our grow ers to surrey world conditions and to take them into, consideration in deciding as to the farm program to ?be followed in the United States. It is natural, with low prices for wheat and cotton, for agitation to develop and for a campaign to get underway for modification of the present Agricultural Adjustment Act. Congress will no doubt be called upon to make many changes, but the chief drive, so far as we can see, will relate to the production* control measures in the present law. In the beginning, it is essential for farmers to" "understand that the con trol features of the fir^t AAA mea sure were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in Febraury, 1936. It was almost two years later, January," 1938, before Congress was able to pass a law with provisions for progressive steps to control pro duction in accordance_with decisions to be made by the growers them selves. It should be understood "at the outset that the huge crop of wheat and cotton, which have produced un wieltily surpluses of both commodi ties, were produced when there was no control laws in effect] In a word, when the decision of the Supreme : Court eliminated production control j the. planters were given the "go i ahead" signal and they went ahead jwith the result that today there is [more wheat and cotton than the peo ; pie of the United States can use and jno foreign markets where it can be i profitably sold. This condition, how ; ever, cannot be attributed to any. ag | ricultural "act. - a _ Recently, in two speeches, one ae livered in Hutchison, Kansas, and the other in Fort Worth, Texas, Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace urged retention of the production control features of the AAA; sug gested the imposition of processing taxes on wheat and cotton to assure parity payments to the growers of these two crops, and hit price-fixing and the proposed domestic allotment, or two-price system, as economically unsound and threatening more harm than good to agriculture. Space in this column does not permit a re port of the Secretary's speeches but farmers who are interestedjcan prob ably secure copies by writing to the Department of Agriculture, in Wash ington. We are very anxious for the far mers of the United States to secure parity income. Undoubtedly, in the past, agriculture has been discrimi nated against by the policies adopted by the Government. The payment of benefits to farmers can be justified as an equivalent to the protection af forded industry by the tariff. The policy of loans on commodities can be justified so long as there is some control of production that will, tw? ??vl- rtia Cfflwminmt SKJll aiflj ^tUMOUWgb HUV Viv.wwv... against an enormius financial loss. Fanners should realize that any pro gram for their benefit most have the approval of the people of the United States if it is to become a permanent policy of this nation. jjjp f The writer is not weiided to the present AAA law. Quite frankly, however, production control % -the bone and sinew of farm prosperity. This does not mean crop curtailment every year , or increased yields every, year. It means an effort to hold the production of American farms to our domestic needf, plus enough to sup ply our experts on a normal basis. It means, necessarily, limiting pro duction when the surplus or carry over, is so great .as to threaten prices] for many years. Wheat growers should not forget that the production this year If es timated at 940^)00,000^ bushels ? [nearly 300,000,000 bushels more than oar domestic needs. In the world'* .... ' * .

Chevrolet is going a step iur ther and demonstrating that even the preparations for selling, if conducted J on Chevrolet's scale, can pot thous ands of people to work, create vast demand for commodities, and spread economic benefits of the most tan gible kind. For between Oct 6 and Oct. 14, Chevrolet is holding a Dealer Pre-view "convention" of 80,-000 per sons, climaxed with a banquet at which that number will be served. The meetings will be nationwide in scope. They wffl be held in 42 prin cipal cities. Chevrolet dealers, their retail salesmen and other members of their organizations will attend. Since the average number at each meeting will be nearly 2,000, this will necessitate engagement of the largest banquet place at each point The event will rate, in many cities, as the largest undertaking of its sort on the local records, just as the over all project probably exceeds' in size anything in the annate of business. The purpose of the convention is to present to the retail organization Chevrolet's new passenger cars for 1939, which are scheduled for public announcement Oct 22. Central Of fice executives, aided by field whole sale personnel, will make the., pre sentation, and lay before dealers the *?*- ?1.m -fnr inj cumpwiljr o puug *w? ? , selling the product during tile months to come. t Hundreds of thousands of miles will be traveled by dealers and sales men enroute to and from the Meet ings. All mods of transportation will be called into play?railways, air planes, buses and private automo-. biles. This record-hreaking convention, Ur. Holler explained, was decided upon as the only oceans by which Chevrolet could present its new pro duct and selling plans to its entire retail organisation in the short time remaining before the public an nouncement. The last time a pre view was held for the dealer organi zation was in December 1988, prior to announcement of the 1984 models. In a period of three weeks, 12,000 dealers were brought to Detroit, and shown the models at the General Motors Proving Ground nea? Milford in a series of all-day meetings. This year's plan enables Chevrolet to cover the sanfe ground with more than six times as many men?the dealers and their entire gelling organisations? and do the job in a single day. Chevrolet believes that the effort and expense of arranging the huge convention will be more than offset by its benefits in the shape of work producing sales. The pre-views an expected to generate such a high pitch of enthusiasm among dealeaa and salesmen as to assure volume sales from the moment, they make their public bow. Hog shipments by small coopimt ing groups of farmers in eastern North Carolina have been started for the fall season. The Beaufort-Hyde group sold 186 last week.for $2, 855.58. Extension specialists predict increased popularity of this kind of selling this year. ????????? The Pender swine growers shipped 170 hogs through their small ecH^p association last week and received 12,447.11 for the lot _ -. - . that of 1932. A. - Certainly, the presence of surpluses of wehat and cotton cannot be attrib uted to the present law. They were the result of tjhe planting by farmers themselves. In the case of cotton, the smaller crop this year is attrib utable to the production-control fea tures that^ecpJhvDked by the cbtten "planters.
