O’'Brien's re-election are 100 to one. In the same statement Professor Hill says ‘that Fiorello H. LaGuardia, the Fusionist candidate, rates a two to one favorite to beat out Joseph V. McKee, an independent democrat and the Recovery party standard bearér, for the office, ~ Professor Hill will again com pute the probable c¢hances of each candidate, late next week, ten days before the election in New York. This computation should be indi cative of the final outcome, he says, and will also be based on the Literary Digest Poll. ' During the last presidential elec tion Professor Hill took the figures obtained by . the Literary Digest ‘straw vote, and, using his method iof calculation, he predicted Roose }velt as winner with odds of 900 10 7. The repeal of the 18th amend ment also was predicted by Pro fessor Hill’'s mathematical ecalcula tions. He based these figures on the vote of twelve northern states, and made ‘his calculationt before a single southern state had voted. His odds for the repeal were two billion to one. Professor Hill states that The Literary Digest straw vote method ‘of predicting ° election will give ‘only a very rough calculation as to ithe winner, but that his method is entirely accurate. . In* conducting experiments on probability Professe: Hill is mak ing one of the most elaborate coin flipping experiments - ever made. Two hundred pennies are used in the experiment and each one i$ matched as to weight. They are ’matched so perfectly that there is not more than one one-thousandth of a gram difference in a pair of the coing. Half of the coins are, of one date and half are of anoth er. The dates on the coins falling with dates up are also counted so as to establish the probabiliy of certain runs of numbers, as well as to test the general law of prob: ability.

Te case, a gquo warranto action in which J. J, Mangham, appoint ed by the governor as Barnett's successor, is defendant, has been delayed by protracted argument on other cases.

Georgia cotton growers will profit approximately $13,000,000 in government cotton money this year. . Harry Brown, extension director of the University of Georgia sys tem, said Friday that in addition to" this sum, Georgia’s 1933 cotton crop would yield about the same as in 1932, s ’ l Thus, he said, farmers in this’ state have already profited by acreage reduction—for which they were paid either in money or op tions on government-owned cotton —and have a big crop ready for the open market. Pegging the price of cotton at 10 cents, Brown said, would mean aI profit to farmers who accepted op tions at 6 cents, of around S2O a dbale or about $4,280,000, which added to what had been paid di rectly for reductions, gives them a $13,000,000 federal aid income. ‘Since the pegging of the price by the government at 10 cents is based on the willingness of the farmers to reduce their 1934 acre age up to 40 percent, based on a five-year production average, Brown said there would be no trou ble in getting Georgia farmers tt)J sign up. Asked why the 1933 crop was S 0 . I&rge despite reduction, Brown replied: T don't. know, unless all the pests which have annually taken a heavy toll of the -crop, have taken a vacation. The boll weevil seems to have tired of eating in Georgia and the weather has been 'just right to give us a bumper | crop. “If there had been no reduction the United States would have had a 17,000,000 balé crop this year.” Brown said that while govern ment help had raised the farmer’'s purchasing power about 32 per cent it is not enough because his ability to buy can’t keep up with the vrise in commodity prices which have so far outdistanced him. He expressed confidence that President Roosevelt and other gov ernment officials would see that the farmer Dbenefitted further, Phone Installation Charge Is Lowered; Changing Cost Up . ATLANTA. —(®)— The Georgia ‘Public Service commission Friday lowered from $3 to $2 the charge for installing a telephone but hiked the rate for changing the type of instruments from $1 to $2.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT WASHINGTON. — (AP) — An important announcement regard ing the long w<losed diplomatic re lations between the I'nited States and Soviet Russia appears in pros pect, but whether it would come first from Washington or Moscow was not clear Friday afternoon.

It was made plain that President Roosevelt was handling whatever situation was developing. ~ Reports that Russia might send one of its high officials to this ‘country to discuss matters pertain- Hng to recognition were not imme diately confirmed. ! It was stated in usually reliable 'quarters, however, that some dis cussion of problems existing be ‘tween the two countries probably would be necessary before any full recognition could be granted. - Among the problems indicated i'b}' officials here are matters of debts owed this country by Rus ‘sia, for many years past, and pro !paganda. activities.

Hines, veterans administrator, has asked President Roosevely to ex tend the Octobér 31, deadline for the boards to pass on the remain der of cases where compensation has been paid on the presumption the former soldiers contracted their disabilities during war service. - Time Extended | Such an extension would mean that veterans who have been get ting 75 per cent of their former compensation since March 20, when the economy act was enacted, will continue to receive that amount beyond October 31, until their lcases are acted on. President Roosevelt was expect ed to issue an extension order soon —possibly this wegk.
