It would also show just who controls the stored tobacco." Protest Wired The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, one of the big five firms o’s the industry, Has wired Congress in protest against the “manifest impropriety of requiring publication of detailed factA of private business men when no essential purpose can be served thereby.” Other companies have Indicated a similar view point. Growers lobbying for the bill qjaim the tobacco manufacturers made SIOO,OOO profit last year. They claim the tobacco industry is the qnly large one in the country to make no decrease in dividends during the past 10 years. JAPS~TEST >ALM FARMS t Send Families to Borneo to Sound Out Project. Bu United Press TOKIO, June 4.—To encourage emigration from overcrowded Japan the foreign office bureau has announced it will ser\d six families to Borneo to engage In palm growing on a plot of land which has been obtained for tne purpose.
