Cotton Program For ’35 Includes 25 Per Cent Cut AAA Estimates 33,500.000 Acres Will Be Left; Million To Be Out. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29—The Agricultural Adjustment adminis tration's 1935 cotton program—an nounced yesterday—Includes: A reduction of 25 per cent from the average number of acres plant ed in the 1928-32 period, and an opportunity for contract signers— new and old—to reduce another five per cent if they so desire. The estimate that a total of 33. 500,000 acres would be left for har vest in 1935, provided that new signers take a million acres out of production. A calculation that a 10-year average yield of 170 lint pounds an acre would result in about 12,000, 000 bales but “somewhat above” this is expected because of more inten sive cultivation. A “crop of slight ly above 13.000.000 bales” is looked for unless the Bankhead bill is con tinued. To Get More Parity A promise that contract signers will get an additional “parity pay ment” of one-fourth cent a pound on about 40 per cent of their aver age production during the 1928-1932 period. An estimate that payments to southern cotton farmers during 1935 will be $94,230,000 from the rental and parity payments. Reopening of the cotton con tracts so that non-co-operators who planted about 6.000,000 acres this year may participate in the volun tary program next year.

Machine Age Principle In Doubt; Gardner Advises Rayon Industry Former Governor O. Max Gardner of Shelby, who earlier this week predicted that rayon industries would move their dyeing and fin ishing plants south in order to es cape the blight of continual strikes, yesterday was engaged in trying to solve another highly technical tex tile problem. It involves a principle and this is it: Whether the machine, as develop ed by science for expolitation by industry, operates for the greatest good for the greatest number. Mr. Gardner, who is counsel for the rayon' manufacturers, believes there is no way to halt the progress of this generation of scientific im provement and power production, and that it would be unwise to make the attempt. In the background of this ques tion, foremost in Washington today, is the fate of the Blue Eagle, which may not, with lawsuits piling up, and differences between code au thorities everywhere, be able to maintain his position as cock Ot the walk. The dyeing branch of the rayon business is faced with ruin through price cutting competition says one side. On the other hand, it is as serted that the pink colored rayon being presented by the Industrial Rayon corporation (which is cut-' ting prices, they say) represents an! advance in science that cannot be stopped. , Mr. Wall Seeks That Gone $101 W. H. Wall, groceryman on North Washington street Is look ing for $101. This amount of money has been missing from his store since Saturday and was taken while the owner was in the store. Mr. Wall states that four men who were In the store at the time are suspected. One has al ready been jailed and the others are being watched. The money was in a leather case and was in hew bills that can be Identified. However, he states that If the person who fell for the tempta 1 tion will return it, no questions Vill be asked and that a liberal reward will be given. Fail To Identify Three Men Held As Bank Bandits Mooresville Bank Employees See Trio Arrested In York; $10,000 to Missing. Eye witnesses of the Mooresville rdbbery Wednesday were unable yesterday afternoon to identify the three men being held at York, S. C. as members of the band of bandits who held up the First National bank and escaped with $10,000. The men held for questioning at York gave their names as Mark Johnson, Ben F. Johnson and Char lie Miller, all of Charlotte. When asked what they were doing in York they were quoted as saying, "Just riding around.” rail To Identify Yw4erday afternoon employees of the First National bank of Mooresville went to York to see the men and were unable to identify any of them as the men who robbed the bank and escaped in a car that was later wrecked and burned near York. The bandits seized the car of a passing motorist and continued their flight. Tom Wallace, ownbr of the car the robbers seized, also saw the sus pects but was unable to identify them as the men who took his car. PetfCtlve Chief Frank. N, Little john of the Charlotte police depart ment, who was called into the case, declared last night that he had dis covered “important information" but he refused to comment further. The motor number of the auto mobile in which the robbers fled from Mooresville was traced through the factory and later Chief Little john expressed the belief that the robbers “operated out of Atlanta." Chief Littlejohn communicated with the Oeorgla authorities. May Sing Cards Throughout City On Christmas Eve Inter-Club Council Propose! Mer cer Of Carol Singing Into One Project. A proposal to make preparations for community 'singing In which Christmas carols would be sung In all parts of the city Christmas eve has just been adopted by the inter club council in a recent meeting. The Inter-Club council is com posed of representatives of all clubs in the city and is purposed to be a clearing house for ideas and proj ects advanced by the various clubs. It does not sponsor them, but mere ly plans for their execution. ; The plan as suggested by the Com : munity Players would be to have ! all church choirs and groups of ! singers to gather in a short devo j tional and announcement meeting | at the court house with Mrs. De ; Witt Quinn in charge. Prom there they would go to the homes of un fortunates and sick persons in the city and sing. Two other projects or attainments that have been suggested in the council meeting are the establish ment of a public playground to which children of the city may go and play in safety, and some ar rangement for a story hour for j children whose parents work or are j away. Mrs. E. A. Houser is president of I the council and would like for all clubs not yet represented to place a representative in the body, that all civic and club work may be co ordinated. ; Ask Contributions For Boy Scout Troop Possible contributors who wished o give something for the Boy Scout fund and who were not called on during the recent drive, are ask ed to make their contributions now —the scouts need that cash. Gene Schenck or Carl Thompson will be glad to receive the funds. Predict Doughton Certain To Run Congressman Denies It, But They Say— Hr Goes To Raleigh, At At, As la Ihi Hory Visits, They Imnwdtsto ly Announce Him. Parmer Bob Doughton, chairman of the house ways and means com mittee. went to Raleigh this week to see Mrs. Thomas O'Berry-—and the same thing happened to him that always happens to Clyde R. Hoey: Raleigh Immediately an nounced his candidacy for Gover nor of North Carolina. Said Mr. Doughton: “I have not told any man that I am a candidate for Governor," and then, to put It another way, “And I have not said that I am going to run for gover nor." Hoey Won’t TeH. This puts him one up, or one be hind, on Clyde R.. depending on how you think the politics in this situa tion ought to be played, for Clyde R. has never come more closely to grips with the question than to re mark blandly about the weather, then to lead him Interviewer astray with charming comment on this and that. # As it stands, the Hoey-Doughton situation is an interesting see-saw, with east and west alternating In ascendency in the bets— "I betchn he will and I betcha he won’t.” Last week. Just to stir up the controversy, correspondents who ought to know announced with omniscient direct ness that the trick now was for Doughton to run for Governor and Hoey to run for the Senate. nuen Mansion. Mebbe so, mebbe so, but the home* folks in Shelby have for yean held the impression that Mr. Hoey would very much prefer the mansion to a seat in the senate. He went to Con gress once, many yean ago, and ap parently thought little of It — wouldn’t run again, anyway. Mr. Doughton is seriously con sidering the race, says Raleigh, but will not announce until the first of the year. Mr. Hoey la certainly ser iously considering a race, but the feeling Is that he will not announce year or nay until after the legisla ture does this and that. 100 Head Of Cows To Be Killed Here Another car load of beef cattle for slaughter in a FERA project arrived in Shelby this morning, bringing the total to more than 100 head. The cows are quartered at the fairgrounds, and will be kept for possibly as long as 30 days, In order to fatten them before killing.

Mary Pays Off 12 To 1— Oh Yeah, Says Mr. Peeler Notorious Old Punchboard Gal Comes To Cleveland; Racketeers Arrested, One Sentenced To 12 Months Mary, it was explained to Mr. Peeler and Mr. Johnson, was the kind of a gold-digger who worked for the house. It just wasn’t in her, said Mr. Harbin, to do wrong by her em ployer. But Mary’s generosity was the subject of a case in j Recorder’s Court this morning, and as a result Mr. Harbin, whose first name is Archie, who gave his address as Hunters ville, Ala., ia under a sentence of 12 months on the county roaas. Mary «u no actual person, but the name of a girl under a little gold star on a punch board. If you were lucky enough to punch Mary, you got paid 12 to one for your luck —and there was supposed to be Just one Mary. Man, there were dozens* And the racket—It worked this way: «9 For 40 Cents. Mr. Harbin sold the punchboards to the Johnson filling station at Polkvllle, and to P. L. Peeler, who runs a store on 18, near Belwood. The price was 40 cents. Names such as Mary, Alice, May, Roosevelt, Hoover, Wilson, etc., marked the lit tle star-studded board, and If the customer punched right, he got odds for his bet. Mr. Peeler and Mr. Mr. Johnson were assured by Mr. Harbin that, when all the punches were In and paid, they would have a profit of $9 on the 40 cent pur chase. So he made the sales. And then— Hardly two hours later. there came into Mr. Peeler’s store a man and a woman who said they would like to enjoy a little punchboarding. They weren't Interested In a little candy board Mr. Peeler had, but thought they'd like a go at Mary, and her 13-to-l. They lost the first few times spending nickels and dimes.

Charlotte Symphony, Biggest In North Carolina, Will Play Its Smooth Melodies Here December 6 The North Carolina Symphony orchestra, with Lamar Stringfleld conducting and the bull fiddle as big as a bus are such a large and responsive audience here the latter part of August that the Junior Civic League feels confident of an even greater response to the Charlotte Symphony orchestra next Thursday night.
