Morning Cotton LETTER NEW YORK, May 15.—The ad vance of 3 to 16 points yesterday vith largest gains in new crop was cue to continued foreign buying in distant months accelerated by bioadening in demand, probably for speculative account and covering.

PWA And RA Will Be Continued On Work Relief Fund Municipal Projects Would Qualify Must Conform To Requirement That Workers Be Taken From Relief Rolls. WASHINGTON, May 15.—(<?>)— , President Roosevelt said today the public works and resettlement ad ministrations would be continued on a somewhat smaller scale under the pending $1,425,000,000 work re*! lief appropriation. Responding to questions at his press conference the president said certain municipal projects which have been carried out by Secretary Ickes' PWA in the past would qual ify under the new relief bill. Har ry L. Hopkins’ WPA would furnish 45 percent of the funds to pay the labor he said while the 55 percent loan would come out of the PWA re volving fund available for loans through the Reconstruction Cor poration's scale of municipal secur ities, the proceeds of which are turned over to PWA. The relief fund is in the $2,364. 229,712 deficiency appropriation bill, now before the senate apropria tions committee. Ickes was schedul ed to testify today but the com mittee session was postponed until this afternoon. The fcommittee has before it de mands that funds go both to Ickes PWA organization and Rexford G. i Tugwell’s resettlement administra tion. The president emphasized that such municipal projects as he mentioned were to conform to the requirement that workers be taken from relief rolls. He said PWA would certify how many men were needed for a particular job and WPA would investigate to see if such workers were available in the locality- If so. WPA would approve the project and pay the weekly payrolls. ' Resettlement May “Fold Up” If Aid Not Given Soort Statement in Washington yester day by Rexford G. Tugwell, Reset tlement Administration leader, in ulcated, that his entire organization will “fold up” If some more money is not forthcoming immediately. The probable effect this move would have mi Cleveland county Is that the resettlement offices would be discontinued or the work dras tically curtailed. There are now about 100 farm families being sup ervised according to approved prac tices and are in the midst of get ting crops and gardens planted for this year. At the capital Tugwell, appearing at an executive session of the sen ate appropriations subcommittee, testified that his Resettlement ad ministration would have to wind up its affairs after July 1 unless new funds were forthcoming. Simultan eusly, eight agrarian senators' inti mated to the committee they would carry the issue to President Roose velt unless action was taken else where. A mile and a half removed, Sec retary Ickes told newsmen he would testify tomorrow. The committee has before it an amendment by Senator Hayden, Democrat of Ari zona, to expand the relief-defi ciency bill by $700,000,000 to be given to Ickes’ PWA. At the same time, Ickes said that if $75,000,000 was given his organization,* he would not have to carry out a pro posed slash of 25 per cent in his I administrative staff.

LOUIS, May 15.-W—Por the I second consecutive year, the South ern Baptist convention late yester day voted against a survey of social and economic conditions In the South. A report of a special committee, headed by the Rev. Dr. £dwln Mc Neil Poteat, Jr., of Raleigh, N. C., which would have authorized the convention's social service commis sion to undertake the study, was tabled on a standing vot?. The ex act number voting for and against tabling was not taken. The report contained no specific mention of problems which the same committee, last year at the annual convention In Memphis, had suggested in recommending the creation of a bureau of social re search. The Memphis report was sidetracked after spirited discussion, the committee being instructed to study the question ar.d report again this year. All recommendations In the an nual report of the social service commission, including one that ask ed all churches and ministers to "abstain at all costs from borrow ing money from the government" that the freedom of religion be not endangered, were adopted But there was rguch argument before a section of the recommen dations pledging the convention as opposed to any but defensive wars engaged in by the United State? was approved.

Extended dry weather over a : long period is given as the main j causes for the expected cut. Many farmers were saying that if rain doesn’t come soon, the fields of grain may be cut for hay and seed ed again either to corn or legume crops. Nearly 200,000 bushels of wheat was harvested in the coun ty last year. With harvest time only a month away, much of the wheat Is hardly starting to “shoot” and there is such a lack of moisture, if it does succeed in heading it will be stunt ed and faulty grain will result. Late sowing last fall, the unusual length of the winter all climaxed by the dry weather have combined to make the destruction. At the office of the county agent It was learned that much of the lespedeza which has been sown by farmers wishing to "get in line” for farm payments next fall has failed to come up and poor stands are in evidence all over the county. Most of the cotton planting was finished last week, with a possible five to 10 percent increase over last year. Other land Is being prepared this week for the main com crop Only a few early planters have either cotton or corn up at this time, a& farmers scan the skies for signs of rain. Situation In East Grows Menacing; Italy Is Defiant British Cabinet Set For Changes Next Premier Of France De sires “To Live In Feac« With All.” (By Associated Press) Leon Blum, the man who will be premier of France, served implied notice on Eu rope tc*iay that his incoming leftist government “will not be drawn into a war.of propa ganda or reprisal” "with na tions like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Addressing the American club tn Paris he avowed France's desire to "live in peace with all" but said his country “of course would be In clined to more friendly relations with nations having a like ideal of social Justice.” War Debt Again As for the American war debt Blum said France believed the, question wiped out and deplored what he called the tragic Interna tional misunderstanding over the issue. Troops marched again In the far east, tire League of Nations lost another member and rumors of British cabinet changes flew today. Japan's army landed 7,000 troops in China, reinforcing its Tientsin And Pelpin garrisons.
