SOUTH JEERS PLAN TO SAVE COTTON PRICES Farm Board Insists Its Destruction Idea Is Best Way Out. By Unit"l Prett WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—T0 a hesitant south the federal farm board today extended the view that nothing save acceptance of ita plan for ruthless destruction of a third of the cotton crop can prevent financial chaos and intense suffering in that region. The board advanced its drastic proposal as a last resort, it was learned. It understands the reluctance of farmers to destroy much of the crop on wjiich their cash Income depends. It studied alternative plans. But it was convinced that only by utter destruction of cotton can the burden of a great surplus be lightened and the south avoid a situation that would result in ruined farmers, bankrupt merchants and widespread bank failure. Chairman James C. Stone and other members of the board believe the growers actually will profit by Rolng into the fields over which they have worked all season and f lowing up every third row of the cotton which is now almost ready for picking. Prices would go up, the board is confident, so that the remaining two-thirds of the crop would bring more than the entire prospective production of 15,000,000 bales would at present quotations, which arc the lowest in thirty-two years. The board has received replies from three of the fourteen southern Governors to whom it addressed its proposal. Governor Sterling of iniioi’sed the plan. Governor Ui Georgia was understood to have opposed it. The secretary to Governor Blackwood of South Carolina advised the board the Governor wanted more time to study the plan. Unofficially, a majority of the state executives were opposed. Only Governors Bilbo of Mississippi and Murray of Oklahoma joined with Sterling in commenting favorably. Seven others were opposed, led by Governor Miller of Alabama, who characterized the farm board plan as “unwise and impractical of application.” It is estimated that there are not more than 500.000 Communists and sympathizers in the United States today. The majority of these can’t vote because of being aliens.

recorded by medical science, was Mrs. Lilliam Caldwell, 31, wife of Wallace CaldweU, a member cf the Chicago school board. She died Thursday night at Grand Rapids, Mich. Numerous blood transfu- : sions were made during the week | in an effort to save her. The disease which caused her death is known as agranuloctosis. Last March it caused the death of Mrs. A. B. Hatton, wflfe of a Northwestern university professor. In an extraordinary effort to save Mrs. Caldwell a quantity of a rare drug, adenine sulphate, was taken to Grand Rapids by airplane. When the drug failed to improve her condition suggestions were telephoned by some of the highest medical authorities in the world, but all proved futile. Mrs. Caldwell had been suffering of the strange disease since July 31.

U. S. FLIERS IN JAPAN MAY BE FINED DY COURT k Possibility of Jail Term Is Lessened by Official’s Recommendation. BY MILES W. VAUGHN l/nlted Prrss Staff Corrrsoondrnt TOKIO, Aug. 14.—The procurator recommended today that a fine be imposed upon Clyde E. Pangborn and Hugh Herndon Jr.. American aviators accused of having photo-

graphed Japanese fortifications from the air. The recommendation was believed to have lessened the possibility the fliers might be imprisoned. A verdict in the case will be handed down by the court Saturday. The procurator said he had decided to proceed with their prosecution because his inquiry definitely showed they took pictures of Japanese forts. The fliers indignantly denied published reports that they took the pictures with a view to selling them to a “certain power.” The United States embassy sent a communication to the foreign office Monday, expressing official regret for the incident and promising that it would not be repeated. Pangborn and Herndon have remained at the Imperial hotel in and no attempt has been made to place them Ln jail.
