THE LINCOLN TIMES Important Changes Made In Contracts to Be Offored Farmers Washington, Dec. 4.—The Agri cultural Adjustment administration announced today that Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace had rpproved a new four-year cotton ad justment contract which will be offer eied to cotton producers to replace the contract which expires at the end cf this year. “The new contract and rrogram follow the general plan of adjust ment in 1934 and 1935 but there are a number of important changes,” Chester C. Davis, administrator of the agricultural adjustment act, said. “These were made in an | effort to simplify the program, to make it more flexible, to decen tralize administration and increase grower responsibility, and to elimi nate inequities which were reveal td through the operations of the previous program.” Salient Changes Some salient features of the new , contract and program are: (1) The contract covers the l calendar years 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939. (2) A total base acreage of 44,- 500,000 acres has been adopted. This base or national acreage quota will be allocated by the di vision of cotton of the AAA among the various cotton-producing States upon a basis corresponding to the base acreage in 1935 in each State. (3) The allocation to the coun ties within the States will be made from the State’s quota by the di vision of cotton but 10 per cent will be held for apportionment by the State cotton board to be used in adjusting the acreage for coun ties and individual producers. The base for individual producers will be determined by the producers and the County Committees sub ject to review by the State Cot ton Boards and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. (4) The minimum adjustment required for 1936 will be a reduc tion of 30 per cent below the base acreage established for individual; :'r rms. The producer, however, will i iave the privilege of reducing to j a maximum of 45 per cent below his base acreage. The adjust ment required in 1934 ranged from (Continued on page two) CATAWBA GIRL 19, REPORTED MISSING Hickory, Dec. 3. Miss Mellie Short, 19-year-old daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R. G. Short, living three miles from Hickory on the Startown road, was reported by Police Chief E. W. Lentz this afternoon to have been kidnaped about midnight last night by two young men said by the officer to be Leonard and Glen dale Adkins, brothers, of Arlington Heights, in Gaston county. The young woman was said to have been working at the Shuford hosiery mill when the young men called at the place, asked to see her and tried to get her to enter their car, saying they had a good job for her. When the girl refused to comply, it is said, the youths grabbed her, pulled her into the cax_ and sped away, saying they were “headed for the Bronx." Previous to the alleged kidnaping the brothers are said to have called at the Short home, where they flashed a considerable sum of money. It is believed that this money was from a wallet belonging to the young men’s father, re ported to have been stolen by them Monday. At Gastonia Sheriff Clyde Robin son reported that the two brothers already were being sought for an attack on their father, Weldon Q. Adkins, and his wife at their home. The father charged that the boys used pieces of pipe in the attack and took a wallet containing S3OO from his pocket.

Bankers Mentioned By Roosevelt Will Not Be Named, He Declares Warm Springs, Ga., Dec. 3. President Roosevelt suggested today that a look at the financial journals during the banking crisis of 1933 might be worth while in seeking to identify the bankers who stated the nation could stand an emergency debt of 55 to 70 billion dollars. Smiling broadly, the President made the suggestion in response to queries as to what bankers he was referring to when he said in his At lanta speech last week that some leading financiers had told him such a huge emergency debt could be safely incurred. Mr. Roosevelt said he had a list of bankers and some letters but he re ceived no request for making these public and had no intention of do ing so. He added the remark that a look at the financial journal files of the period might be worth while. His comment wasSnade about the same time Governor Eugene Tal madge, of Georgia, critic of the new deal, voiced a demand in Atlanta that Mr. Roosevelt make public the names of the bankers.

(Continued on back page) His face deeply colored from an early morning ride in his open car and a later plunge in the swimming pool, the President kept his regular semi-weekly press interview as usual cu the roadside en route to his Pine mountain cottage. Opening the interview from behind the steering wheel, the President ob served he was having a good time end there was no news. He just about proved it. Regarding various reports of the favored site for the next Democratic national convention, he said he hadn’t thought about the subject and he assumed proposals would come from various cities. Asked of he was a candidate for re-election, Mr. Roosevelt flicked his cigarette and quickly replied with a smile that the Democratic national committee will decide where the con vention will be held and the con vention will decide who is to be the candidate. A reporter from New York city added: “Says Mr. Murphy.” Laughing heartily, Mr. Roosevelt 1936 AUTO TAGS REDUCED TO 40c PERHUNDRED Registration of Automobiles and Trucks Reach New High Record Raleigh, Dec. 3.—The new 1936 automogile license plates will be (cheaper when they go on sale De |cember 15 than in many years, since I the 1935 general assembly changed the base rate from licensing pas -1 senger cars from 55 cents per 100 I pounds to 40 cents per 100 pounds, I and the minimum price from $12.50 | to $8 for a set of plates.

In addition, there will be 61 branch offices, maintain ed by the Carolina Motor club and the Winston-Salem Motor club, where licenses may be purchased direct by car owners. Girl Mother la Convinced Early Marriage Is Bad Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 4.—A girl wife of 16 looked back today over her four years of married life and reflected that “no girl should marry under 18.” This observation was delivered in juvenile court where she, a mother o r two years, was brought by her parents who objected to her “having dates” after she and her 25-year-old husband separated. She was married with the consent of her parents, she said, after she threatened to elope. “If I have my way about it, she won’t marry until she’s 18 or older,’ the young mother said of her child. She said she and her husband sep arated after he would “go on all right hunting and fishing trips and expect me to stay home with the baby all the time.” Judge Camille Kelley, taking the case under advisement, criticized the parents for giving their consent to ( the marriage of their 12-year-old daughter. recalled the gestures of the late Charles Murphy, old Tammy boss. Incidentally, he fought the Murphy Tammany machine in his early days in New York politics. As for the foreign situation, he said he only knew what he has read in the newspapers and added that he hasn’t read the papers since last Saturday. Speech Being Written He said he expected to have most of the speech to be delivered next Monday before the American Farm Bureau Federation at Chicago ready before he leaves here Sunday but probably not entirely.

James H. i Frazier, representing the American Consolidated Tin Mines corporation, is in Washington on his way to Charlotte in the interest of JSVeloy# ment of the tin mines at Lincoin ton. Mr. Frazier, who has been en gaged in the mining business for years, stated that the fiscal agents of the company are Connor, Peach, rnd Company, Inc., of New York City. “We are already working the tin mines near Lincolnton,” said Mr. Frazier. “I hope to be in Charlotte Friday and will then go to Lincoln ton, and confer with the superin tendent of the properties. I am go ing over the properties for people who want to invest in them, and to get first-hand information,’’ he con tinued. “We already have down two shafts, and the tin runs two per cent, and mica and kaolin which is found in the deposits will yield enough to pay for operation of the mines. Ou*' people are just now waking up to the impo-ionce of l*n, since our best dorosits are in North Cair o a and Alafca ns We hope to develop the properties on a large scale.

Signed by Monsignor Albert E. Smith, editor-in-chief, the article said the degree was extended “for no other reason” than “in gratitude for the independence of the Philip pine islands, a Catholic country.” Monsignor Smith wrote there was “not the slightest reason” to inter pret the conferring of the degree “as an indorsement by the University of Notre Dame of the President’s policy in respect to Mexico.” The President accepted Notre Dame’s offer of an honorary degree of doctor of laws, to be conferred December 9, at a special convocation at the university at South Bend, Ind.

Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors corporation, warned Ameri can business tonight that it must become active and assume oroader responsibilities or face the alterna tive of increasing governmental in terference. “Industry,” he said, “must furth er expand its horizon of thinking and action. It must assume she role of enlightened industrial statesman ship. To the extent that it accepts such broadened responsibilities, to that degree does it assure the main tenance of private enterprise. Warns Against Failure “Inaction will ultimately mean the challenging of industry’s position. Failure will bring, sooner or later, 1 the urge for more and more inter ference from without—government in j business.” Sloan’s warning, coupled with cri tical analysis of current government al trends, was contained in an ad dress before the 1935 Congress of American Business and the 4Cth an nual meeting of the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers. | “It is my firm conviction," he de .clared, that any form of ‘govern ment regulation of industry 1 is bound to result in an ever-increas ing interference with the broad ex ercise pf initiative—-the very founda r’i°n of the American syg* m. “This is the natural evolution of bureaucracy. If that be so might rot the ultimate logical result be the necessity for the socialization of industry through the breakdown of the profit system induced by the accumulative effect of the ever-in creasing political management? We do not need to go far afield to see definite evidences of that possibility ... I am convinced that industry should stand united and adamant against such a proposal.” Sloan, at this juncture, termed ‘ unfortunate” the December 9 Washington conference called by Maj. George L. Berry, co-ordinator of industrial recovery, for considera tion of new federal legislation deal ing with industrial regulation. “The impression that will bo created will be a planned impres sion,” Sloan declared. "It cannot possibly be broadly representative cf industry’s thinking or reflect in dustry’s experience. It will confuse the public mind. It will inject un certainty just at a time when re covery is being accelerated. And let rs not forget the impetus that re turning prosperity received upon termination of the NRA.” Sloan proposed a “yardstick” to appraise proposals for attaining a “soundly based and widely distribut ed economic well-being”—which ho said was the “theory of plenty” as opposed to “the theory of scarcity” which has dominated our recent eco nomic thinking and policies. His proposed “yardstick” set forth: “First, the reduction in the real rnd selling prices of goods and serv ices. “Second, a more economic balance cf national income through policies affecting wages, hours, prices, prof its.” Greenville, N.
