All commodities except less than carlot merchandise increased over 1932. A Mecanwhile, the industrial regu 'iat;on and public works adminis-~ trations were mustering their strength to put it behind the up ward push which business is al ready making.

WASHINGTON —(AP) Point ing the way to the reopening next Tuesday of the investigation into private bank operations. Chair man Fletcher of tae senate bank ing committee Saturday said 'the investigators would continue to disclose any “‘unwholesome in come tax practices's that might be found. Referring to the recent aecquit tal of Charles E. Mitchell, former chairman of the National City Bank, Fletcher said in a formal statement that “public condemna tion of devices employed by him and others to escape taxation” madeé legiclative remedies inevi table. Fletcher mapped out the future course of the inquiry and, review ing its accomplishments, said it “has already exposed many un sound practices in securities mar kets.”? “It was shown,” he said, “that the stock exchange, while enforc ing the most rigid honesty within its own circle, does not yet as sume * much - responsibility for the manner in which its facilities are employed to do the bidding of pro fessional speculators, to assist the piracies of industrial warfare, or to enforce the will of financial powers.” . Holding Support Expressin.g the hope for reforms, Fletcher said he had never seen an investigation with so much substantial public support or one “which has suffered so much skil ful and influential opposition and obstruction.” Mitchel’s trial on charges of in come tax evasion grew out of his testimony before the senate com mittee. In its preparation for beginning the Kuhn, ILoeb and Company hearing Tuesday, the committee has scrutinized the intome tax re turns of “that firm’s partners, as it did in its investigation of J. P. Morgan & Company. Fletcher, in his statement, did not mention the Kuhn Loeb inqui ry but said the Mitchell verdict would have no influence on the investigation, adding that the committee’s function was not to gater evidence for prosecuting officers. “On the other hand’” he said, “it is the duty of the Department of Justice to take cognizance of any evidence developed before the committee which has the appear anec of violation of federal law.

Depends On Farmer “The federal government cotton acreage reduction plan to which the farmers of the south will be asked to suwscribe, is volantary on their part. The success or fail ure of the plan depends solely up on the farmer agreeing to the re duction of this planted c¢otton acreage this year. “The acreage reduction is only the beginning of a long time plan for the control of cotton produc tion; to bring about a better bal ance between supply and demand ito assure the farmer in the fu ture a more satisfactory return from his products and a better living on his acres.” Cobb said that if the farmers do not sign enough contracts in each state to make up the needed acreage ‘“the government will not attempt to go through with the plan because nothing could be gained without complete co-oper ation to reduce and the full re moval of the necessary 3,000,000 bales. . “If the farmers do co-operate and cign up for the full acreage reduction their _ position will be greally improved and they can look forward with some hope sot the future. ROOSEVELT APPEAL WASHINGTON -—(AP) —Pres ident Roosevelt threw his person al influence pehind the cotton acreage reduction program Sat urday as administrators of the farm act put final touches on plans for beginning on Monday an intensive campaign in southern states to cut down ‘this year’s out put of the crop. In a preface to an explanation of the plan issued under the pres ident’s signature, farmers of th: cotton belt were called upon to cooperate in the program under which Secretary Wallace hopes to reduce acreage about ten million acres and cut down this year's po tential production from three ta four million bales. “The fate of any plan depends upon the support it is given by those who are asked to put™it into operation” the presidents message said. “This program for the cot ton producer essentially places the responsibility upon the indi vidual farmer. An important change in the plan was announced hy Cully A. Cobb of Atlanta, the cotton production chief, who left for the south to direct personally ‘the campaign to be carried on through extension workers under which every cotton farmers is to be interviewed. This change provides that far mers will be permitted to offer to destroy up to 560 per cent of the area that have planted to cotton instead of a maXimum of 40 per cent previously announced. The minimum each must offer in order to become eligible to ben efit payments remains the same, 256 per cent.. Contracts forms were also made public as thousands of them were shipped to extension directors in the cotton states.

FURNISH MYSTERY NORIFOLK, Va. —(AP)—Twelve skeletons which crumbled at the touch of road builders’ picks were unearthed Saturday near the spot where legend says the Pirate Blackbeard had his lair more than a century ago. : Within a space not more than ten feet long and hardly five feet w'de the dozen skulls were found, their white surfaces embedded in the black loamy soil. Above their resting place work men a short while before had fell ed trees that had stood there for possibly 150 years. But the skeletons could give no clue to the questions of the curicus who sought to unravel the mys tery of their presence there. Were they the victims of Black beard's piracy? Had they been slain in an In dian massacre? The- “bones, perhaps, of Indians slain by whites in their fight to conquer the Red Skins and win dominion over Virginia? Some there \pere who, recalling @e story of Roanoke Island’s long lost colony and the story of Vir g'nia Dare, sought to find in the bones a key to the fate of the small band of Englishmen who apparent ly vanished from the face of the earth, leaving no key to their fate o’Kelley Endorses Cotton Reduction And Prohibition Groups of farmers who gather ed in Danielsville and Hartwell to discuss the cotton acreage reduc tion were urged by Hoke O’Kelley, candidate for congress, to follow ithe government’s plan. “I wish to advise you to follow ‘the government’s plan of cotton ‘acreage reduction, and urge you to plow up your cotton and ac }qept government payment,” Mr. "O’Kelleyr said. ‘““The price offered ’is so large that it will be to your benefit to cooperate with the gov ernment in tull. There is a wide ‘spread interest in cotton reduc tion in this district.” , In addition to discussing cotton, Mr. O’Kelley said he favored the retention of the 18th Amendment and the payment of compensation to disabled war veterans without proof of their ser#ce connection. “The 18th Amendment and our prohibition laws should be sus tained and enforced,” the candi date declared: “The voters of our congressional district -could do no better act _than to reconsecrate themselves to the high ideals that actuated us when we passed these laws. Are Unquestioned “The purity of the motives and the properiety of wisdom of the reasons that brought alwout this great - moral advancement can never be questioned.
