Atty. at Sept 26, Mon work In Shelby more working space was I needed. The same was true hi Mor 1 gonton and elsewhere. Appeals marie to Washington seemed to catch little attention But the fall campaign drew .nearer and nearer ! A little over a week ago it was an nounced from Washington that, I although the full program could not j be carried out, new jxjst office. ! would be erected and present offices enlarged where absolutely needed. Worked For It. Congressman A L. Ilulwinkle, in j Shelby a few days after that an I nounoetnent, stated that he had ; immediately taken the matter m 1 with Washington officials and in formed iliern that Shelby and Mor ganton were in real need of large, j post offices. Since it has been I learned that. In a confidential lain j with a irirnd tie stated that Otu Ionia really did not need a new building. Realizing, ft' It said, that this section would not likely got j more than two of the building pro jects, Congressman Bulwinkle urg ed, it is understood, (.hat Gastonia | could wait a little longer and Slid by and Morgan ton would work un der hardships to do so. But. u few days later it was officially announc ed that the new offices or enlarg ing would go to Gastonia and Mor gan ton. Seemingly there wins some inside work with G. O P powers for The aa-storiia Gazette, goes' on record also aa saying a new office can be done without there now The Ga zette says: Political Move? "While the people of Ga..tonla will take a new post office building If it is given them, the conviction can nol be escaped thut it is anoth er example of Republican waste and extravagance. There is no need now of a new post officp building in Gastonia. The citizens have not asked for it, and the decision to allot or appropriate $210,000 for a new federal building here has nil, the earmarks of it political move." Since that, time Chas. A. Jonas, Bulwlnkie’s Republican rival, lias been "to. Washington and took oc casion white there to wire to Shel by that the appropriation for the Shelby office ntay be available soon. Such procedure has caused numerous people in this section to wonder, as do Gastonia people, if politics is not being played. As one local man puts it ‘‘This post office business seems funny. There may be nothing to it but the manner in which things are turn ing out cause:, some of us to won der if the post office construction work has not been delayed until Just before election time in order that Hoover and Jonas claim some credit for it." I Anyway, it is a topic of corner satlon, with local people wonder - I tng why Gastonia, where no fight I was made to get a new office, is to receive $210,000 for building a new structure, while Shelby, asking for needed enlargement, is still Wait ing for $85,000 to build an addition, and receives no encouragement ex cept that winch cornea from Mr. Jonas after a trip made to Wash ington for the purpose, as he was quoted in the newspapers, of at tending to ‘ state political matters.'

Washington, Sept. 20 Participa tion by Southern 'cotton and tobacco ; growers in the 7ft i>er een,t suspen sion of 1932 crop loan payments ac i corded wheat farmers yesterday was i demanded of the administration. It was sought by .Senator Smith, ■Democrat. South Carolina, who ■ charged "glaring sectional and par tisan discrimination" after the White House yesterday had an j nounced that Northwestern grain producers would liave to repay only 25 per cent of their production loans due In November "I shall Insist," the veteran Deni" ocratlc Senator said, that) the cot ton and tobacco growers, who are due the gover nment on crop loans, shall bo given the same treatment that Is now given the wheat grow er. and if It Is not given, public opinion, based on equity and Jus tice, will uphold them in refusing to pay any more and under different terms than that granted the wheal grower*.-’ Says t omtit Ion-. IMshesslng. Smith, ranking Democrat on the Senate agriculture committee, said In his statement after the White House announcement that the cot ton and tobacco growers were Ui just as distressing conditions as wheat farmers. He added: "Unfortunately these two products are grown almost exclusively In the South and the South i, almost ex clusively Democratic. Even If It were not the intent of the adminis tration In making this order to so discriminate, It lays itself liable to Justifiable criticism ' The administration had announc ed that "present low nice* make It practically Impossible lot- wheat far mers to repay their crop production loans without incurring grave risk of need during the winter " In the cotton and tobacco areas, however, the agriculture depart ment said, prices higher than last year's should enable borrowers to meet their payments, though from these sections also applications for extensions have been received. The government advanced approx Imately $04,000,000 in seed loans this year, of which S'.hl.OOO.OOO falls within the suspension order The remainder is distributed largely in cotton and tobacco regions.
