THE LINCOLN TIMES Indications Are That 12-Cent Loan Due February let, Will Be Extended Washington, Nov. 26.—With indi cations that the 12-cent loan falling due February 1, will be extended for an indefinite period, the administra tion is not seriously considering promulgation of plans for disposal of approximately four and a half mil lion bales of government held cotton at this time, it became apparent to day. ' AAA officials pointed out that be cause an indefinite extension of the lean is "almost certain,” they are not seriously concerned for the present with disposition of the cotton thus secured. At the same time, officials of the AAA’s cotton producers' pool refused to divulge sales figures for last week and said that any statement whatso ever would have to come from Oscar Johnston, pool manager, who is out of the city at the time. Pool spokesmen were asked to comment cn trade rumors that the pool has been selling January futures and failing to replace such sales with futures from the distant months. Comment Withheld “We can make no comment what soever in the absence of Mr. John ston,” one official said. “In the mat ter of the sales figures, it is not the policy of the pool to make public daily sale * transactions unless it is felt that such publication is in the best public interest.” Mr. Johnston is at present in Mis sissippi. It is not definitely known when he will return to Washington. Disclosure that AAA is not active ly interested in liquidation of govern ment held cotton at this time was seen following interviews with var ious officials in the matter of some half dozen “disposal programs” which have been submitted by in terested textile trade members and congressmen to date. Latest of these proposals is that draft',-! by Senator Bankhead, Demo crat, Alabama, for iatroduction is the coming Congress. The senator contemplates that all government held cotton would be turned over to the commodity credit corporation or a similar agency for sale in the open market, such sales to be lim ited to 20,000 bales weekly.

The local event will be one of a nation-wide series of balls for the benefit of in fantile paralysis sufferers. Mr. Abernethy has served in this capacity for the past two years. The President has approved the suggestion that 70 per cent of the proceeds raised by each local Birth day Ball be retained in the commun ity to be disbursed to local or ad jacent orthopedic hospitals, or for the treatment of local Infantile Para lysis cripples, as the local committee decides. This allotment was first made last year; the plan worked well Bnd has been approved throughout the county. 30 per cent of the proceeds will be turned over to the National Committee for delivery to the Presi dent to be presented by him to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, for the continuation and extension of its part in the national fight against Infantile Paralysis. \ Jail To Hold Cows Doniphan, Kan., Nov. 26.—Jess Brown is going to put his cow in jail.

Last season the local team, besides trimming Mooresville twice, defeated Charlotte and the invincible Gaffney, S. C. team for the undisputed title of semi-pro champs of the Carolinas. Blanket Appropriations For Relief Are Said On Way Out Washington, Nov~. 26.—A shift from blankets relief appropriations to more exact budgeting was report ed under consideration today as President Roosevelt talked govern ment finances with his aides at Warm Springs. Officials in touch with the situa tion said some presidential advisors felt the recovery movement had pro gressed to a point at which future relief needs could be determined with ai. accuracy sufficient for more def inite listing. The new deal practice has been to ask Congress for a lump sum ap propriation last winter it was the $4,800,000,000 relief bill with spe cific expenditures in effect left to the discretion of the President. Dividing Line In Doubt Under the plan suggested a part, at least, of the recovery program The Fiddler Wants Some Money The team this year is composed largely of the players who proved to be the mainstays of last years great team.

Just where the dividing line would be drawn, if the plan is adopted, none could say. However .there was an ex pectation that funds for the public works administration and the works progress administration would be separated. Aside from the improved budget ing which would result, such a course, it was said, would eliminate such disagreements over how the funds should be allocated as have risen in the recent past between Sec retary Ickes, administrator of PWA, end Harry Hopkins, director of WPA. lijkes-Hopkins Row Recalled When it came to splitting nr ’ e $4,800,000,000, Ickes wanted tne em HIGH COURT TO RULE ON RIGHT TO ENJOIN AAA Justices Promise a Ruling On Process Tax Suits; Will Settle Issue Washington, Nov. 26.—A ruling on the right of citizens to obtain injunc tions against processing taxes—the main prop of the administration’s farm relief activities—was promised today by the Supreme Court. It also granted a request oy eight Louisiana rice millers for a tempo rary injunction against the levies un til it could pass on the merits of the controversy. The court agreed to pass on the action of the Federal district court at New Orleans in dismissing the suit brought by the millers against AAA. They had asked the high tribunal for a ruling without waiting for the court of appeals to act. Replying to their suit, the gov ernment contended they should “pay first and litigate later.” The cases were set for argument on December 16. The injunction was granted "upon condition that the amount of the assailed taxes, an they accrue from month to month shall be paid over to a de pository to be appointed by the court.” Justices Brandeis, Stone, and Cardozo dissented from the action granting the injunction. The millers were willing to post security for the taxes due pending a final ruling. They claimed that all other Fed eral circuit courts had granted in junctions against the AAA taxes and refusal of the fifth circuit to j do this deprived citizens of Texas, I Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, I Georgia and Florida of constitu tional rights. The millers said the “remedy’ (Continued on back page) phasis placed on heavy construction cf lasting projects of a lighter nature with the bulk of the funds going to the relief workers. They bombarded President Roose velt with their arguments and in the end, he settled the controversy by bis allotment of funds. He gave Ickes PWA $330,000,000 instead of the $900,000,000, ear-marked, in an ad visory way, by Congress. With the President at Warm Springs today were Secretary Mor genthau, Acting Director Daniel Bell of the budget bureau and Chairman Buchanan of the house appropria tions committee. Officials would make r.'. comment on Buchanan's predic tion that the budget would be brought within $500,000,000 of a bal ance next year, beyond saying that many unsettled questions were in volved in that complicated problem.

Jonas remains the idol RepnbL ins in the Tenth district and his popular ity remains unimpaired, if the ex pression at the Republican rally here last week is a criterion. A resolution was unanimosly pass ed by delegations from six counties giving the Lincoln county man carte blanche endorsement for any political office that he may seek. Terming the State senator and former congressman “the greatest statesman that North Carolina has produced since the days of Suttle and Vance,” the party meeting Thurs day night resolved to “offer him in advance our support for any office that is within the gift of the elec torate of the 10th Congressional dis trict and —or the State of North Carolina and which he may choose to seek in the next general elections.” The resolution, introduced by J.

J LOCAL MARKET J j i i COTTON 12c pound! j WHEAT sl.lO busnel I CORN 60c bushel EGGS 33 & 35c dozen PRICE: FIVE CENTS Other Hot Cluea Uncovered In Thia Investigation— More Wood New York, Nov. 26.—The chief in vestigator for Bruno Richard Ha mann declared today that ne s learned on “unimpeachable au: ity” that Lindbergh ransom bills have turned up recently in Boston and Worcester, Mass. The department of justice in New York said “we have no informal ion on this matter.” “I have been informed,” the in vestigator said, “that almost sßuo m Lindbergh ransom money has been received by the Boston Federal Re serve Bank since Hauptmann’s ar rest. It is continuing to show up. My authority is unimpeachable, despite the denials of police.” The investigator, who requested that his name be withheld, said he bad recently found in a house near Ashby, Mass., a letter dated March 10, 1932, ten days after the Lind bergh baby was kidnaped, which read, in part: “Why don’t you return that poor little Lindbergh baby? You have had it long enough.’” He said the writer and recipient of the letter were known and that ke would soon have “a full account ing from them.” In the same house, the investi gator said, he found wood "similar” to that used, in the ladder believed to have been used in gaining acces. to the Lindbergh nursery.- * “It’s the same type,” he remark ed, “and I’m having it examined by experts.” He cited reports that the same house yielded ransom bills as “ab solutely wrong,” and added, “I wish it had, however.” C. Lloyd Fisher, Flemington, N. J., chief of counsel for Hauptmann, has received a copy of the report of the Massachusetts investigation, the investigator said. Besides handwriting and wood, the investigator said, several article* used by a baby were found in the house, as well as newspaper clip pings executed in some respects similarly to that of the Lindbergh baby. The investigator said that the ransom bills not traced to Haupt mann were all peculiarly folded, twice across and once down. The investigator said that while he was not enough versed in chir ography to ascertain if the hand writing on the ransom notes was the same as that on the letter found near Ashby, he had discov ered several characteristics identi cal in both scripts. These, he said, were curleeues and dots that had been found by at least one handwriting expert but never introduced as evidence. 4-Legged Ga.
