Porker Prices Slide Back to January Lows

Top hog price was back to levels of late January in a 10-cent lower trade on all weights today, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Top dropped. to $8.90, again paid for best 210-220-pound butchers. Packing sows were steady. bulk.of the good offerings $7 to $7.75.

With killers fairly well supplied with beef steers and yearlings from

outside. demand comparatively narrow, local packers succeeded in discounting good and choice steers and yearlings around 15 cents, with the general : steer. and yearling market steady to 15 cents lower. Common and medium grades show spotted weakness, but no material ‘change. L All she stock continued in roadi 2% demand, with cows active and-stron and heifers steady to strong with spotted higher sales. Strictly good medium weight steers made $9 on packer shipping account, good to choice around 900-pound yearlings, $8.75; strictly good:

$8 to $8.50. Several loads of plain killers went at $7.25 to $750. Good 680-pound heifers made $8.40, bulk heifers $7.50 to $8. Fully 50 cents was added values in the vealer pens, with to handyweights freely at $10.50. i Not enough sheep or lambs were unloaded to fully test values and trading was on a nominally steady basis. Odd lots of native wooled lambs sold from $8.50 down, a few slaughter ewes turning from $3 to $4.

Drought in Italy has reached alarming proportions and it was believed importations by that country are inevitable. Selling today in Chicago was mostly of a profittaking nature since export interests continued to look for good foreign demand. Corn prices were lower in a narro range. Selling came from nearly all interests in response to the lower turn in wheat.

IN SENATE RAGE

Holds Edge in Battle To _Unseat Him.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer COLUMBIA, S. C., March 30.— “Cotton Ed” Smith, a Senate fixture for 30 years with his *handlebar mustache tory about the plight of the farmer and Southern womanhood, is up against the fight of his life. The odds now even seem to indicate his defeat for renomination by big, broad-shouldered, pompadoured Governor Johnston, ‘who went to work -in a cotton mill when he was 11 quit at 18 to go to high school, and then went on to win an A. M. degree and entef politics. He has risen as the people's champion and he knows most of the tricks of the political trade. Youth and vigor are on his side. “Cotton Ed” was in the Legislature when Olin Johnston was born on an Anderson County farm in 18986. Before the August primary the fight will boil down to the elements

*| of a scrap for and against the New

Deal, for it is no secret the Administration would like to defeat “Cotton Ed.” Fought New Deal

the , Agriculture Committee, has lined up with the Conservative Southern bloc. He fought New Deal ideas about & farm bill for months, holding up the legislation until

in and took control. - Governor Johnston on the other hand has been 100 per cent New Deal. He even went so far as to

| advocate publicly President Roose-

velt’s Supreme Court plan and put through his Legislature a resolution approving it. Senator Smith was outspoken against the court plan. The Governor likewise has pronounced publicly for a Federal law on wages and hours, although with-

| out tying himself to any particular

formula. “Cotton Ed” fulminates against such interference. Because of the: Governor's advocacy of a wage-hour bill and of the 40-hour-week law for cotton textile mills which the Legislature

kind in the country—he will get large labor support. The C. I. O. is making greater strides here than in any other Southern state, and labor is becoming conscious of its power. On the other hand, conservative interests will back Senator Smith. But the Governor never has had this support and according to those who sound out public opinion the rank and file ate still for President Roosevelt here. Bid for Farm Support Governor Johnston’s lieutenants are making much of the White House gesture in inviting him to sit at Mr. Roosevelt's right hand when the President spoke the other day at Gainesville, Ga. The Smith-Johnston contest probably will resolve finally into a fight for farmer support. The Senator always has campaigned as a friend of the farmers, and their allegiance has helped to re-elect him again and again. He will emphasize that he is in a position to help them as chairman of

it would take a new man. years to get to the head of the table. The Johnston forces will retort that the Senator, though chairman, made a mess of handling the last farm bill. There is another issue, however, which will be injected into the public debates which mark a campaign in this state, with! the candidates traveling about together and speaking from the same platform. This is the Negro question. Senator Smith walked out of the Philadelphia National Convention in 1936 when ‘a Negro preacheér opened one of the sessions with

Hence an apparent issue for the Senator. But the Governor is ready to meet it. He explains that back in the Nineties Mf. Smith sat in the Legislature with two Negroes, and that he has often attended meetings at which Negroes were present. ; Also, his lieutenants exhibited a speech delivered by the Governor at an Atlantic City educational conference in which he said South Carolina never would permit social equality for Negroes and would always segrezate the races in the schools. : . Negroes, as is well known, do not vote in South Carolina. Governor Johnston has made enemies. The removed the State Highway Board by force early in his administration, calling out the militia.

Pendergast’s Slate Sweeps + Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. March 30 (U.P.). — Thomas J. Pendergast, head of the Democratic faction that has dominated municipal politics for 12 years, proved conclusively today that he still controls one of the country’s most efficient political -organizations. . Complete unofficial returns from yesterday’s city election showed that the Pendergast organization had won every post except one, gaining one of the two that it lost four years ago. - Bryce B. Smith, the Pendergast candidate, was re-elected Mayor by a margin of 40,000 votes over his coalitionist opponent, Col. Frederick E. Whitten. Seven city councilmen and two municipal judges endorsed by Pendergast also were swept into office. After Mr. Whitten. had conceded victory at midnight and it was apparent . that the present régime

| would be continued for another’ four

years, Mr. Pendergast said: “Under the conditions—as the newspapers of Kansas City and the Coalition Party reported that - the Democratic President of the United States, the Democratic Attorney General of the United States, the Democratic Governor of Missouri and the bi-partisan election board, were all against us—I think we made a every wonderful showing.”
