U. $. IS MOVING TOWARD PLANNED ECONOMY, URGED BY TEXTILE INDUSTRY CHIEFS Cotton Group Asks Government to Help It Restrict Production, Prices and Credit; Agree on Forty-Hour Week. BY RUTH FINNEY Tim** Snerial Writer WASHINGTON. July 1, The United States today was within hailing distance of a planned economy. The cotton textile industry has asked the government to help it plan production, prices and credit, and enforce whatever restrictions are agreed upon. Other industries are expected to follow suit. With the industry and the industrial recovery administration in apparent accord on a forty-hour week and a sl2 and sl3 minimum wage, this new proposal is the biggest item yet to be agreed upon before final submission of the cotton code to President Roosevelt.

The cotton textile industry's request for specific and immediate planning was submitted in spite of the fact that congress repeatedly has shied away from even the most tentative steps toward planned economy, that the administration has not looked upon it with favor, and that General Hugh S. Johnson has said he is anxious to avoid anything resembling pricefixing as long as possible. Co-Operation Is Pledged However, it has been predicted by some in recent weeks that the industrial recovery act could not function effectively unless thi% further step was taken. The cotton men have suggested appointment, of a committee within the Industry “to co-operate with the administrator as a planning and fair practice agency.'’ This agency would present to the administration recommendations for drastic trade regulations which he might, if he saw fit, approve and enforce. The committee could, for example, recommend registration of all existing productive machinery, and a requirement that the administaiv.** approve installation of any further machinery. Such action would fix a much more definite limit on production than the clause at present in the code limiting operation of machinery to eighty hours a. week. Complex Task Is Faced With it goes a proposal for agreements on prices, and likewise, for giving those who supply credit to the industry, information on general condition "to the end that . . . available credit may be adapted to the needs of such industry considered as a whole and to the needs of small as well as large units.” The industrial recovery administration faces an exceedingly complex and difficult task if these porvisions are agreed to. It must: 1. Decide whether it will permit price levels sufficient to support tineconomical ulants, and plants in excess of the productive requirements of the industry; or: 2. Whether it will force these out of business by fixing a price just high enough to permit operation at satisfactory wage scales in the most efficient plants. Recommendations Ready Soon In lavoring the eighty-hour limit on operation of machines the administration apparently has inclined toward the first point of view, but the extent to which it might be willing to proceed in this direction is debatable. A decision on these and other points will be made before President Roosevelt arrives back in “■Washington. The administration \Wpes to have its recommendations hcfidy for him when he gets here, ft]The code revisions submitted Friay did not extend the wage and diour provisions to any of the numerous excluded workers except ■white collar office employes, and that is a matter still to be considered. as is the threat of the "stretch-out” forcing workers to iperate more machines on their shorier shifts. Pre-War Purchasing Power General Johnson indicated his acquiescence with wage and hour figures in the code after his research assistant. Dr. Alexander Sachs, announced that his figures showed the sl2 and sl3 wages would give the worker pre-depres-sion purchasing power and allowance for a 100 per cent increase in prices. He also declared the forty-hour week for textiles will absorb all textile workers now unemployed, requiring an increase of about. 100.000 from the level of October. 1930.

SHOALS PLANT LEAVES HANDS OF WAR OFFICE Giant Tennessee River Project Is Given Over to Valley Authority. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. July I.—The first major move in tne great NorrisRoosevelt development of the Tennessee river basin occurred today when the Tennessee Valley Authority formally took over the $150,000,000 Muscle Shoals plant from the war department. At the same time it was learned i that army engineers’ plans for construction of locks for dam No. 3, above Muscle Shoals, had been changed so that greater pow r er development would be possible when that, dam is built by the authority. Original plans made by the engineers were criticised in connection with the so-called Muscle Shoals "scandal” revealed late in May. Work Goes On at Locks Then it was reported that after a presidential investigation, construction of the locks had been stopped. But engineers today said no such orders had ever been received, the work going on unhindered. Under the order changing the design of the locks the dam's elevation will be increased from twelve to seventeen feet, increasing its capacity for pow r er generation. The army engineers, who are responsible for navigation facilities, | in United States rivers and harbors, are constructing the locks at. dam No. 3 because they are navigation facilities. Cheap Power to Be Sold An announcement from the w r ar | department said that “this change jin design involves more extensive | construction than was contemplated ! in the contract as originally award- ' ed." Original expenditure was esti mated at about $1,100,000 and the change in design will cause additional expenditure of about $425,000. The first task of the Tennessee Valley Authority, after taking over Muscle Shoals today, will be to take an inventory of the valuable propi erty. ! Within a few months, according | to present expectation, it will be ready to furnish cheap Muscle i Shoals pow’er to customers in the j vicinity. 30-FOOT PISTOL SHOT KILLS WATER SNAKE j “Deadsliot Dirk" Had Nothing on Arkansas Constable. By United Press LEPANTO, Ark.. July 30.—“Deadshot Dick" in his palmiest days of pistol feats could not hang any 1 bouquets on Constable William Lynn of Lepanto. Recently Lynn was standing on a bridge near here, and saw a water moccasin chasing J. B. Vance. Lepanto youth, across the "ol' J swimmin' hole.” The snake was gaining. ! Lynn drew his pistol, took aim at the snake as it wriggled through the water some thirty feet away, and fired one shot. The snake was killed. •LEFTY' VIOLIN MADE I Specially Designed Instrument Is News for Southpaws. j By l nitrd Firs* NORWAY'.

Don't Watch Horizon, Is Warning to Avoid Airsickness.

P.y Science Service CHICAGO, July 1. Do not watch the horizon when you are in an airplane, if you want to avoid airsickness, or at least escape its worst eSects. This advice was offered at the meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers by Dr. L. H. Bauer of the aeronautics branch, United States department of commerce. Although optical effects help to cause airsickness, they are not the only factors. The disturbances set up in the balancing organs of the inner ear are potent causes, but the pulls and sags of the muscles and vital organs, like those experienced in a suddenly moving elevator, apparently play no part in airsickness, Dr. Bauer said. MARKED UPTRENDIN LUMBER TRADE FOUND Definite Gain Noted in Survey of Forest Camps in West. By l nited Preis MISSOULA, Mont., July 1. Definite improvement has manifested itself in the lumber industry throughout the northwest, Professor J. H. Ramskill of the University of Montana forestry department reported after a 4,000 mile trip through Oregon. Idaho, Washington, California and Montana. Ramskill, with Professor Fay G. Clark, made the trip with nine senior students of the forestry department. Logging camps and mills visited on a similar trip in 1932 w'bich then were idle are now "going full blast.” Ramskill said. He attributed the pick-up to depletion of lumber stocks, and a renewed demand for building materials and other lumber supplies. The world’s longest fresh water lake is Lake Tanganyika, in Africa, 450 miles long.
