INDICATED PLAN TO GAIN APPROVAL OF SECRETARY WALLACE (Continued I'rom Page One) | | now'4.2 cents a pound nn lint cot ton, The new plan would pay the first rental installment -— around one fourth—to the growers about April 1. A second installment would be paid around June 1 and the final rental payment in Aug ust. Any additional payments be cause the average price was below parity would be made after the 1934 harvesting season. Growers would reduce next year and give the Secretary of Agricul ture an option to exercise a similar arrangement in 1935, The program probably will provide for a revis ion upward of the acreage plantl ed in the event that sale abroad, to Russia or other countries, or unforeseen circumstances made a sizeable dent in the present sur plus. The carry-over in the United States in July was more than 9,- 000,000 bales as compared with a normal 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 bales, or' even less. One important factor in the tenta tive program would be the refusal o( credit by government financial agencies to those farmers who re fused to sign contracts. This would include not only federal land banks and subsidiaries or agencies set up by the farm credit administration, but extend possibly to the refusal by federal reserve banks to discount paper. ’ The present plan, farm admin istration officials said Thursday, 18 a composite of suggestions re ceived by the administration from many sources and of ‘the views of government experts, DEADLINE EXPIRES WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The time in which cotton farmers were to plow up their acreage in compliance with the agreement with the federal government has expired and government officials are insistent that contracts be carried out to the letter. The period set up for compli ance expired Wednesday night. The farm administration an nounced it would take steps to have the cotton turned under if Jfarmers refused to carry out their contracts. The midnight deadline will not apply where the farmer was pre ‘vented from destroying his crop ’through no fault of his own. There will be a reasonable exten ‘sion in these cases. It was estimated by the crop reporting board that the reduction campaign took out of production 25.3 percent of the 1933 crop. CALLS CONFERENCE BATON ROUGE, La. —(®)— A i‘conference of southern senators and commissioners of agriculture lto draft a cotton production con trol program for 1984 has been ‘called for August 28 at Birming ‘ham, Ala. ; ) Harry D. Wilson, Louisiana com ‘missioner of agriculture and presi ident of the Cotton States Commis soiners of Agriculture, who an nounced plans for the meeting, said he was cooperating with Sen ator J. H.

The commissioner said he favor ed control of production by regu lating ginning to be simplified by ‘the federal government's program calling for licensing of gins, o Fish is called a “brain food” be cause it is easily digested and! therefore the stomach does not make such a heavy call on the blood in the brain for the digestive process. e ———————————————— Standard time was adopted in the United States in 1883. THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA VIRGINIA IS HARDEST HIT; 10 ARE DEAD (Continued From Page One) streey cars, and as the tide swept into the e¢ity, young folk went swimming in the streets, Outrides Storm The steamer Madison managed to outride the storm and proceed under "her own power to port, During the early part of the storm waves carried Lawrence and Corbett overboard. The two had gone on deck to investigate the damage done by the first huge wave that struck the ship as she encountered the hurricane. A storm wave, described by Captain William Heath as being the largest he had ever seen, tore away the forward house and wrecked much of the superstruc ture. A haggard group of passengers, who had spent a sleepless night wearing life preservers, came from aboard the ship when it docked. Two members of the crew were injured. Malachis Nelson and’ Robhert Turner were hurt in the shifting of the cargo. Nelson sus tained a broken leg, while Turner suffered a fracture of the ankle. The passengers praised the work of Captain Heath and of the coast guard, which rendered assistance by pouring oil on the water and by convoying the Madison into port. CATCHES BREATH WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Abla to draw a breath once more with out being snatched away by a 50- mile wind, the nation’s bedraggled capital Thursday struggled to re cover from the fierce storm that brought unprecedented damage and threatens even more Wwhen the Potomac river reaches its full height. So far, no lives had been re ported lost. There were enough troubles im the capital itself-—power cut off, communication lines down, fami lies marooned in river front houses, transportation disrupted— but there were even more in ad joining suburban communities. Families Marooned In and near Hyattsville, Mary land, more than 100 families spent the night marooned on housetops and second floors. Coast . guard, Washington river police and Navy yvard boats were called into res cue service. Similar conditions were reported in a number of other nearby Maryland towns. Virginia, on the other side of the Distriect of Columbia, gave an almost identical picture. The air port just across the Potomae from Washington was under three feet of water; flooded roads caught motorists; rising waters filled cellars. In the capital itself, many of its famed trees were brushed over by a wind that reached nearly 51 ‘miles wn hour, stayed at 42 'fok ‘three hours and averaged 30 miles for 10 hours. ! ~ The motorway around Haines Point and the Tidal Basin, lined with cherry trees, was closed, cov ered with water. Somex of the cherry trees, like a number of those on White House grounds, gave up before the snatching wind. ) | Torrents of Rain ~ Seven inches of rain fell before ‘the lull. It flooded the Benning Road power house. Two of the biggest hospitals — Casualty and Emergency—had to work by lamp wor candlelight until power came in from Baltimore. : Many governmental employes were allowed to go home before their day was out so they would miss the worst of the storm. Although the worst wind and rain were believed over, and the forecast Thursday simply “partly cloudy and warmer,” officials were preparing for more trouble when the water that fell in Maryland and Wrginia Wednesday comes down the Potomac. Ordinarily muddy and so slow running that it looks like a lake, the river Thursday already . had begun tc take on the appearance of a rushing mountain stream. It .continued to rise steadily ‘and grow swifter. Police set about moving people out of the bottoms. TR!O RESCUED [TOWANDA, Pa—{(®)—Marooned for several hours on top of a cabin gaught in flood waters of Towanda creek, two girls and a man were rescued early Thursday by lines ghrown to them from a truck. Af ter repeated rescue efforts with boats had failed, Edwad Berry de toured with a heavy vehicle and approached within 50 §edt. Men threw ropes to the exhausted trio and one by one they were hauled to safety. CHILD DROWNED YORK, Pa—{#)—One child was ‘drowned. hundreds were made i homeless and damage estimated at |three million dollarg was caused in York city and county by storms which sent streams to the highest levels since 1884. ey SHIPPING PARALYZED . NEW YORK—®)—Shipping was tied up here Thursday by rain, fog and a wind of gale intensity. At quarantine none of the ships due to dock during the forenoon had reported, and two others, the Oriente of the Ward liffle, and the Seatrain liner, Havana, remained‘ at anchor at Gravesend Bay. Five‘ others reached their plers. | The wind reached a velocity of 80 miies an hour during the night land continued only slightly abated during the morning. ' GENERAL INJURED . WRIGHTSTOWN, N.
