into spasmodic fusillades which
threw up-town Havana into a pan

while two dead scldiers and other
wounded werga in emergency hospi

fighting between revolutionist and
loyal forces there.
Numerous dead and wounded
were reported inside ithe camp

by the ABC secret society and oth
er oppositionist groups.
Terror gripped the city as the
planes rcared low overhead the
early-morning darkness, firing on
loyal soldiers and police in the
Streets and signalling the opening
of the revolt.
As the planes dipped low, the re
volt was carried forward on the
ground by armed members of the
ABC, soldiers and sailors.
It was learned definitely that the

Series of Mystery Missions
Marks Career of U.S.
Diplomat
By RODNEY DUTCHER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON-—(®)—Bill Bullitt
the mystery man of American dip
lomacy, has been at it again.®
’ Just as President Wilson and
}Co'mnel House dispateched him on
a secret mission to Russia nearly
15 years ago to negotiate with the
Soviet government, so President
Roosevelt employed Bullity in the
secret preliminaries to the public
exchange of notes with Kalinin.
On the surface, Roosevelt merely
sen¢ Kalinin a nice letter and Kal
inin replied in kind, agreeing to
send Commissar Litvinov here foi
conversations.
But things never happen that
way in international diplomacy.
First, you sound out the othel
‘fellow confidently to arrange the
official exchange. Roosevelt sen!
an emissary to Boris E. Skvirsky
Russia’s representative here.
Official confirmation \conspicu
ously is lacking, but the emissar)
hardly can have been anyone bu
William C. Bullitt, special assistant
to the secretary of state. Bullitt
‘now sits with Roosevelt during
the Litvinov talks, and he may be
come the mext American ambassa
dor to Russia.
Builitt is a tall, solidly-built
bald, zestfal individual of 42
twice married and twice divorced
He used to be a newspaperman.
He comes from ritzy Rittenhousn
Square inh Philadelphia, and made
Phi Beta Kappa at Yale. He wrote
!and talked cleverly, and wen¢ on
the staff of a Philadelphia news
paper. He was one of the voyag
ers on Henry Ford's Peace Ship in
1915,
Then he married Ernesta Drink
er, a college president’s daughter
and spent an odd honeymoon be
hind the Russian and French
fronts with German troops. When
we entered the war, Bullitt was
made an aide to the State De
parment as an expert on Centra'
European affairs.
When President Wilson sailed
for Paris on the George Washing
ton to help make the peace that
was to create a new world, Bullit!
went along as a member of the
American Peace Commission.
During the making of the peace

Bales Over October
NEW ORLEANS—(#)— Cot
ton prices advanced more than
$1.560 a bale Wednesday in the
iwake of -the November crop
estimate of 13,100,000 bales,
about 100,000 bales lower than
the average advance guess of
the trade.
’ WASHINGTON.—(#)—A bumper
[cotton crop of 13,100,000 bales was
forecast as this year’s American
[’production Wednesday by the ag
{‘yiculture department's crop repor
ing. board, despite the govern
ment's $111,000,000 effort to curk
out put.
Total production was based or
80,036,000 acres, the area in culti
vation July 1 less probable remo
wval of acreage reported September
8 by the Agricultural Adjustment
‘administration and with deductior
for abandonment on the area mot
‘under contract.
. The ecrop as indicated Novem
ber«l in the wvarious states follows:
| Virginia, 39,000 bales; North Car

The board increased its forecast
of production as of November 1
by 215,000 bales above the Octobet
1 estimate. The increase of 1.7
per cent in production was largely
accounted for by gains for Texas
and Oklahoma.
~ The crop is 98,000 bales above
that of last year. The board esti
mated the farm adjustmen; ad
ministrations’ campaign to obtain
agreements for farmers to plow up
cotton in return for government
cash reduced the acreage harvest
ed about 10,340,000 acres to 30,-
036,666 and cut the potential pro
duction about 4,200,000 bales.
~Cotton of this year's crop gin

GROWERS MARKET,
10 COST 3230000
IS PROPRSED HERE
T. J. Shackelford Proposes
Establishing Market
With U. S. Funds
INVESTICATE PLANS
Project Would Serve
Farmers of Entire
Athens Section
, Request that the county submit
a self-liguidating project for es
lablishment of a complete Growers'
lMurket to the Georgia Relief com
mission was laid before the County
Cemmissioners in their regular
meeting Tuesday afterneon by T,
J. Shackelford, local attorney.
The plan offered by Mr. Shack
eltord calls for a loan of $250,00
from the government which will be
used to build a Growers’ Market
here. This market would include
floor space for corn shelling and
sacking; space for grain packing;
a grower's exchange; a cannery;
a refrigeration plant; a curing
plant; a sweet potato house for
sorting, sacking, etc.; a corn mil
for the making of meal; a mill for
grinding and mixing grain for fod
der; a warehouse for the sorting
of nuts; a milk depot; a backing
house for apples; market-master's
office and modern refrigerated
stalls for farmers and producers.
~ The location of this market, ac
cording to the plan, would be fac
ing Thomas street and includes a
number of vacant lots, reaching
back to the Central of Georgia
railway. This would provide rail
way facilities for the market, and
would result, according to Mr.
Shackeiford, in making Athens a
trade center for this section of the
state,
“We all know that diversifica«
tion is a good thing,” Mr. Shack
elford said in presenting his plan,
"‘but how can you expect a farmer
to diversify his crops when he has
no market for anything bug cot
ton? The farmer who raises more
squash, peanuts, wheat, or any
}thlng else except cotton, than he
can consume has no market for
}them. He hasn't even an exchange
where he can secure things he
needs in return for some of his
surplus. This Grower’'s Market 1
am proposing will furnish the
farmer a ready market for other
crops besides cotton, and will be
in contact with the rest of the
country through the several rail
way lines which run near the pro
posed site of the market.
Plan Praised
“This plan,” Mr. Shackelford
said, “has been shown to one of
the best informed men in the coun
try—a man who is connected with
the relief offices in Atlanta, He
said it was one of the best which
had been submitted to them so
far, and that he feltf sure itwould
he passed.”
The question was raised as to
the obligation of the county. Mr.
Shackelford read a letter from the
state commission stating that the
county is under no obligation ex.

NEW YORK —- (AP)— Tha
Tammany dynasty in New York
city has fallen—swept from power
in Tuesday’s elections which gave
Fiorello H. Laguardia the mayor
alty by a 250,000-vote plurality and
crushed the Farley-endorsed can
didacy of Joseph McKee.
~ Never in the recent political his
tory of Tammany hall has the
wreckage of its city-wide machine
been so complete.
Tammany salvaged from the
election upheaval only its New
York county tickets. In victorious
Fushion quarters, the assertion
was made that Tammany had
passed the word to ‘“vote for tre
right”— to knife Mayor P. O'Brien
and “trade him in” as a desperate
attempt to save what could - from
the Fusion landslide,
Comes In Third
The Tammany mayoral candi
date failed to carry one of the five
boroughs and finished third in
the tree-cornered race.
On the other hand, the Fusion
party—carrying its oponents be
fore it under the dynamic rush of
of the fiery LaGuardia— gained
complete control of the municipal
government by winning thirteen of
the sixteen votes on the board of
lestingate, ‘the policy-determining
body of the city.
~ The final mayoral vote gave La-
Guradia 858,661 votes; McKee
604,045; O'Brien 586,100 and
