These two newly-organized units supplement the federal land bank and the intermediate credl; bank and complete the farm credit ad ministration’s set-up in the sdouth eastern district for tne purpose of “gotting the farmer out of debt.” Morgenthau, speaking before 200 representatives from the four states in the district last night, outlined the program of the farm credit ad ministration and expressed hope that it would eventually be put on the same basis as the federal reserve system. Is Biggest Job “Our big job is to get the farm er out of debt,” Morgenthau said. He expressed hope that in the not too distant future the credi! administration would be ‘farmer owned and run by the farmer’”. Morgenthau spoke at a confer ence of administration - officials and public officials, business, ag ricultural and other leaders to dis cuss the set-up and to make plans for “cutting the red tape” and speeding up its services. His remarks on relieving the farmer of debt followed an asser tion by Senator E. D.

Onee they are met, we might be able to gel along.” AMERICANS’ HOME LOOTED IN HAVANA \VASHINGTON-—KIP)LJI‘he United States government will make rep resentations to Havana authorities as a result of the looting of an American citizén's home there.

There are Greek Orthodox Roman (Catholic, - Armenians, and many other sects of Christianity representad here.” One of the Christian churches Dr. Rumble said, has adjoining chapels for the differnnt sects Rules are that a Frai.ciscan monk sweeps the dirt to a certain point where a Greek monk picks it up.

Those summoned were Secre tary Wallace and George Peek, the administrator of the agricul tural adjustment act, and Senator Bankhead of Alabama, a ‘leader in the cotton conference. R The cotton belt states proposed the government purchase half of this year's crop still held by pro ducers—about 5,000,000 bales—at 15 cents a pound, with the under istanding that for every bale pur chased by the government the pro ducers will cut next year's crop that much. Favors Price Lift | To all appearances the Presi dent is looking favorably on the proposal to lift cotton prices, but there is reason to believe he fav ors a lower price for the govern ment purchases, nearer 12 cents a pound. Meanwhile, a new hearing on proposals to levy compensatory processing taxes on commodities sold in competition with cotton was called for October 2 Friday by the agricultural adjustment administration in response to re quests of cotton processors who contend that competing preducts "q.r‘e,gaininz unfair advantage. - The hearing will be devoted to ‘the effects of fibers, particularly Jjute and hemp, on the consump ‘tion of cotton, which since August 1 has borne a processing tax of 4.2 cents a pound. At a previous hearing data re specting silk and rayon was pre sented but no action has been taken by the administration to determine, whether processing taxes should be levied on these. Information on Jute At that hearing administrators said they obtained insufficient in formation bearing on jute, hemp, and other fiber products. The administration has author ity to levy processing taxes on products sold in competition with basic farm products. to prevent the basic commodity from suffer ing any competitive disadvantage. )Cotton processors contend they ‘have been placed under such a disadvantage since August 1 and ask for early action. The AAA is holding in abey ance a proposal for a hearing on the effects of the cotiton process ing tax on consumption of the staple. ¢ - Representatives of processors contend that this levy has great ly reduced consumption.
