Proceed Nicely
————
WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
adiministration, professedly cheered
by reports that Southern farmers
had acquired a better frame of
mind along with 10-cent = cotton
loans, Tuesday renewed its efforts
to temper the Mid-Western unrest
that frequently has flared into vio
lence.
In an effort to interpret the NRA
io a state that is one of the focal
points of farm discontent, Hugh
. Johnson, recovery administra
tor, was te Speak in Minneapolis.
He had the difficult job of ex
plaining higher retail prices to ah
agricultural state thay found its
purchasing power declining.
Secretary Wallace had voiced
his opinion that payroll increases
would soon be reflected in greater
urhan purchasing power of farm
products, He said the rise in in
dustrial prices seemed to have
heen checked, remaining practical
lv unchanged during September and
October. “ ‘
Small Profit Only |
Wallace reiterated the assertion
thay industry must be satisfied
with small profits, adding that the
farm administration and the NRA
were concerned primarily with in
creasing the income of laboring
man ahd farmers.
Wallace will speak in Des Moineg
Saturday, to be followed by ad
iresses in Chicage and Muncie, In
dian® and it is likely that George
N. Peek, farm administrator, may
proceed west on a spealring tour.
[“urther progress. toward settle
ment of the industrial disputes was
reported.
But in the troubled farm strike
area there was no apparent less
ening of the tension. A request for
state troops from Mayor W. D.
Hayes of Sioux City, at whose
markets the anti-selling movement
has been directed, was held by
Governor Clyde Herring, of lowa,
pending development.
The past twenty-four hours saw
a 1 settlement of the tool and die
makers’ strike in some of Detroit
utomobile factories and in more
than. a score of smaller plants in
that city. /
Wage agreements for seven coal
mines in Vanderburgh and War
rick counties in Indiana sent back
to work several hundred workmen
who had been idle for a month.
In the soft coal fields of Penn
sylvania the miners were back at
work, but in the northeastern sec
tion hard coal diggers were on
strike, in response to a call from
the United Anthracite Miners of
Pennsylvania, an insurgent group
which severed its connection with
the United Mine Workers of Am
erica.,
The appeal for tropps in lowa
followed the burning of a railroad
bridge Monday near Sioux City.
\‘nother bridge between Meriden
nd Cleghorn. lowa, was set afire
Monday night, presumably, the au
thorities said, by farm pickets.

Litvinoftf To Meet F.D.R.
Today; Is Contident That
g Negotiations Will Succeed
Russian Envoy Lands in
New York Tuesday on
Way to Capital
QUICK ACTION SEEN
Not Known Yet Whether
Trade Relations Will
Be Discussed
NEW YORK — (AP) — Maxim
Litvinoff soviet commissar for for-
eign affairs, arrived Tuesday for
his momentous c¢onversation with
President Roosevelt expressing the
hope that ‘“the establishment of
normal relations between the Sov
iet Government and the United
States ‘would now bring actual dis
armament.”
“We shall negotiate no treaties
while we are here,” the Russian
foreign mnister told interviewers
who met hi mdown the bay on the
liner Berenagria.
From the liner he was taken in
a special tug to Jersey City to
catch a special train for Washing
ton.
“The ‘Soviet Union is inspired,”
Mr. Litvinoff tod his interviewers,
“by the example of your country in
methods of subordinating natural
forees to the needs of humanity,
enabling you to build the most
technically progressive country in
the world.
“There is a solid base fbr econo
mie, scientific and cultural cooper
ation which would be to the ad
vantage of both the United States
and the U. 8. 8. R. The two
countries are unifed in their com
mon aspiration for peace.
“I nourish the most sanguine
hopes for the outceme of my miss
ion and for the future of Soviet
‘American relations. . All we hava
to do now is to legalize the recip
rocal gravitation of the two na
tions, which have no conflict in the
past and cannot anticipate any in
the future.,”
TO MEET ROOSEVELT
. WASHINGTON— (4P)— Presi
dent Roosevet and Maxim Litvi
noff clasp hands Tuesday across a
years-old gap of diplomatic differ
ence.
An end to the “present abnormal
relation” between Russia and the
United States was the announced
objective of Mr. Roosevelt in wel
coming the Soviet republic's
spokesman.
Formal recognition is the known
desire of Litvinoff, Russian Com
missar of foreign affairs, and at
least a preliminary understanding
looking toward recognition is the
expectation of Washington's offi
cial circles.
The Blue room of the White
House was selected for this first
meeting in 16 years between an
American President and a repre
sentative of Russia’s 160,000,000
people. There, late this afternoon,
Litvinoff will be presented to Mr.
Roosevelt bywSecretary Hull affer
the trip from Neéw York under
specal guard.
This first handshake may prove
only a formality, but in adminis
tration circles it holds possibilities
of a swift understanding between
the President and [Litvinoff.
Mr. ‘Roosevelt will do his own
negotiating in the “frank, friend
ly conversations” to which he in
vited Litvinoff. This fast, upheld
with the Russian’s international
reputation for blunt, cards-on-the
table diplomacy, spells in some
quarters a speedy solution of prob
lemg separating the two nations.
Wednesday the two statesmen
will meet in the White House din
ing room for Iluncheon.
At the President’s side when he
talks with the Soviet officials will
sit chosen experts including Sec
retary Hull, Under-secretary, Phil
lips, Assistant Secretary R. Wal
ton Moore, William Bullitt, spe
cial assistant to the secretary of
state: and Henry Morgenthau, e
governor of the farm credit admin
istration.
Every honor aceorded a foreign
minister of a recognized nation is
prepared for Litvinoff.

Irregularity Found in
' Dodge Transfer May Re-
Open Dillon, Read Probe
WASHINCTON.— (AP) —Evi
dence htat bankers gained c¢on
trol of the $150,000,000 Dodge Mo
tor company in 1925 without the
investment of a single penny was
pondered Tuesday by senate stock
market investigators with a view
to possible open inquiry.
The evidence, gathered from
the books of Dillon, Read and
Company, shows a banking syndi
cate headed by that firm purchased
the dutomobile company from the
Dodge family with money sub
scribed by the public and retained
the voting stock in its own hands,
In addition to gaining control of
the company, the bankers realized
profits of millions from selling the
securities to the public. Later the
company was sold to Chrysler in
exchange for Chrysler stock.
Because of this evidence, com
mittee members may decide to re
open the Dillon, Read inquiry, but
they had reached no decision
Tuesday.
The Dodge company sale was
one of the biggest cash transac
tions in history. The bankers’
syndicate paid for the company in
a single check for $146,000,000.
Whether the committee goes in
to that operation depends to a
large extent upon time. Efforts
are being made to wind up the
hearings within a few weeks so a
report can be submitted to con
gress in January.
Chairman Fletcher predicts the
inquiry will be over by the end
of this month, but other members
are not so sure.
Macon Cooperage
Company Prepares
For Opening Here
The branch plant of the Macon
Cooperage company which is locat-

of Commerce Secretary Joel Wier.
Manager L. French, who will head
the branch plant, is already in
Athens, and it is expected that
five or six families will move
here #in the near future. Approxi
mately 25 people will be employed
at this plant, and they will he
‘Athenians.
Plans for the coming to Athens
ot a silk textilc company were also
disclosed. As no definite decision
has been reached yet, no other
information was available., It was
stated, however, that this organ
ization is as large as the silk mill

PETER ARNO SEEKS
RETURN MATCH WITH
SOCIETY OPPONENT
HOLLYWOOD - (AF) —~ The
pugilistically inclined New York
cartoonist, Peter Arno, recovering
from a one punch knockout in the
early hours of Monday morning at
the fashionable Embassy club, was
geeking a return engagement Tues
day with Drexel Biddle Steel, Phil
adelphia actor and entertainer.
‘ “The next time 1 see Mr. Steel,
I'm going to hang one on him that
he won't forget for a long, long
time,” declared Arno, rubbing his
chin. *“No one can punch - Peter
Arno in the jaw-—or cause his jaw
to be punched—and get away with
"
Steel, who declared his business
manager, Gordon ‘Butler, dellvet:ed
the punch, remarked:
“Really, Im not angry at Peter
Why 1 wdauldn’t think of continu
ing thig silly feud.”
Although some eye-witnesses in
gist Sally O'Neill, film actress who
had accompanied Arno to the
club, went into action with a chair,
this was denied by Arno and Miss
O'Neill.
“Miss O’Neill played but a small
part in the affray,” said Arno.
“She charged gamely to my rescue
when she saw Steel raise a chair,
and instructed him gently but
firmly, to drop the chair, which he
did.’
A broken chair 'was removed
from the eclub Monday.

ced the end of British war debt

BROKERS CONFUGED
BY INFLATION TALK
Stocks Fail to Rise in
Keeping With Jacking
Up of Cold Price
NEW YORK. — (AP) — Wall
street has reached a stage of
complete confusion over inflation,
present or prospective.
While . the R. F. C. has been
jacking up the gold price steadily
for nearly a fortnight, there has
been considerable selling of stock:
and staples, and prices generally
have failed to rise in proportion
to the indicated devaluation of
the dollar. \
Several financial analysts attrib
ute this to two factors: first, the
liquidation of holdings by . specu
lative pools fearing rigid federal
regulation *of the markets; and
secondly, to a general failure on
the part of the public to grasp the
rather abstract theory of dollar
devaluation through lifting the
gold vrice.
The generdl pulling in of horns
by speculators has been obvious.
Some speculators have felt that
the government was veering rath
er decidedly away from . inflation.
Cienerally, . however, the feeling
that considerable inflation is in
the omng is widespread among us
ually well-informed quarters in
Wall sireet. ;
Brokers are receiving a}lmout
daily evidences of the failure of
the general public to grasp the
implications of inflation. Custom
ers send them instructions to sell
out holdings or shares, saying “I
feel inflation is coming and I'd
better get liquid.” With inflation,
however, a .liquid position is least
desirable, for the value of money
goes down, while the value of
property and commodities, tangi
ble things, goes up in terms of
money. So far as stocks are con
cerned, however, security analysts
point out that farious groups are
affected in widely varying degrees.
There has been an increase re
cently in agitation against infla
tion by conservative financial
quarters, which may also be a:fac
tor in the inclination to go slow
in the stock and commodity mar
kets. Evidently as a part of the
agitation, a large amount of old
German marks has appedred in
‘Wall street. These are being pass
ed about as horrbile examples of
what inflation can do if not con
trolled.
