Southern Senators’
Stand on Cotton
Untenable.
BY VINCENT LYONS
limn Financial Fditor
\ GROUP of Southern Senators
bad thrir Dixie blood up to
a boilinc point last *pk when the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration announced a revision in its
policy toward cotton —the South's
gold. Instead of continuing a flat
loan of 12 cents on the 1936 crop,
it was stated, the government
would loan but 9 cents on the new,
pnxluction but. in addition, would
guarantee the farmer a price of 12
cents a pound for his staple through
a subsidy.
This action was tantamount to
throwing a bomb into the ranks of
the Southern contingent who pre
viously had been issuing daily bul
letins expressing confidence that
the 12-cent loan would be main
tained. The fact that a few days
earlier Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A Wallace had telegraphed
from Indiana that maintenance of
“gift loans’’ on cotton was un
sound failed to disturb their con
fidence.
Aroused no end by the revised
AAA policy, the cotton Senators
took it upon themselves to correct
the situation by attaching an
amendment to the third deficiency
bill providing for a flat 12-cent
loan on cotton. Wheat Senators
added a provision calling for a
90-cent loan on their favorite com
modity. When the House balked
at voting on these amendments
Senator Huey Lore staged a fili
buster which prevented the defi
ciency bill from being voted upon.
a a a
X I THILE this Congressional snarl
W was transpiring. President
Roosevelt tried to placate the South
bv jacking-up the loan rate on
rot ton from 9 to 10 cents. Thus,
the farmer now will be able to
get a loan cf 10 cents a pound on
his 1936 crop instead of the 9 cents
contemplated earlier and the 12
cents granted him this year.
Whether the Southern Senators
were pleased could not be
ascertained.
Just why the AAA's revised policy
was subjected to the attack that
it was is hard to understand.
Under the 12-cent loan arrange
ment the Government was thrust
into the position of acquiring
virtually all of the available cotton.
With the commodity selling: in the
open market at a level considerably
under the government loan figure
the grower simply took his cotton
to a government warehouse and
got a 12-cent loan on it.
Thus, there were two prices for
cotton in effect. One was the
price which processors were willing
to pay, based on the law of supply
and demand; the other was the
AAA loan price of 12 cents. Natur
ally, of course, the farmer took the
higher price, which was the latter.
Meanwhile the cotton that was
being accepted by the government
as collateral for the 12-cent loan
was not going into consumption
because the government was not in
the processing business and could
only hold it m its warehouses.
a a a
IT doesn’t require % degree in eco
nomics to understand the eco
nomic heresy which the loan ar
rangement preaches. By fixing a
price above the level which pre
vailed in the open market the AAA
was merely preventing cotton from
flowing into consumptive channels.
And while growers ignored open
market prices and glutted govern
ment warehouses other materials,
in all probability, werp being used
in place of proud cotton.
But if it doesn't go into consump
tion. the cotton still remains as a
carryover. In other words, the
amount of the 1933 cotton crop that
fails to find its way into consumo
tive channels is a carryover to the
1936 crop. On Aug. 1 the carry
over amounted to 9.000.000 bales,
with the prospect of this total be
ing increased a year hence. Whether
the farmer realizes it or not the
cotton which the government has
accepted as collateral for the 12-
cent loans will return to plague him
sooner or later.
The 2-cont reduction in the loan
rate should go a long way toward
removing the embargo on con
sumption. If the market price re
mains below the 10-cent loan rate,
as it is today, then there will be
little incentive for the farmer to
sell his product to the government.
Now. if some constructive plan is
offered to recapture some of the
alhn market, we shall be able to
determine whether cotton is to be
king or commoner.
a a a
SOUTHERN Senators’ antagon
ism to the 9-cent loan 12-cent
guarantee is hard to understand,
particularly when it is realized that
the arrangement is better for
their farmer constituents in the
lone run. Possibly the only reason
why a flat 12-cent loan was desired
is because the 12 cents on each
pound of cotton is procured easily
and quickly, whereas under the
guarantee plan some time must
elapse before the farmer knows
whether he is entitled to the sub
sidy or not.
Besides being a good thing for
the cotton farmer, the AAA's ad
justed reasoning is less of a po
tential dram on the Federal tieas
urv. By reopening the consump
tive channels the government uti
mately may enhance the value pf
the cotton which it now holds.
That the outright loan is a dan
gerous policy was demonstrated in
the closing days of Congress when
the wheat bloc, tempted by the 12-
cent flat loan rider for cotton on
the third deficiency bill, added an
other tail to the measure by ask
ing a 90-cent loan on wheat. Huey
Long's monolog sounded the death
knell for both proposals, although
that was not his intention.

FIRST WOMAN
GETS SEAT ON
U. S. EXCHANGE
Miss Gretchen Schoenleber
First cf Sex Elected to
An / Exchange.
Itjf I nilni prt
MILWAUKEE. Aug. 23. Miss
Gretchen Schoenleber, whose elec
tion to the membership of the New
York Cocoa Exchange made her the
first woman to be elected to any
American exchange, will take to the
trading floor the same attributes
boasted by each of its male con
tingent. She has a keen business
head, a quarter century experience
in her particular field and the abil
ity to drive a good bargain.
She will take one becoming
womanly trait too. in spite of her
efforts to do business in a man’s
world on a mans basis—a sense of
retiring modesty. She is forthright
and determined %in her business
negotiations but she is loathe to
have her success set up as an
example of what women can do in
executive positions
Held Business Expedient
Seated in her office as president
of the Ambrosia Chocolate Cos. here
she protested that her election to
the New York Cocoa Exchange was
of no significance. She said it was
merely a business expedient.
’ Every leading chocolate company
has a seat on the exchange.” she
said. “Ours was taken in my name
simply because I happen to be the
principal ofTicer of our company.
The fact I'm a woman makes no
difference at all. Doing business
these days isn't a question of sc::.
I won’t add 'ything to the ex
change that a man wouldn't.”
Asa matter of fact she will dele
gate to a subordinate the active
duties in New York in connection
with buying the raw cocoa bean?
through the exchange which her
company converts into candy bars,
cocoa and chocolate.
Started as Stenographer
Miss Schoenleber will continue to
drive her own car to the plant in
downtown Milwaukee which is poD
ular throughout its section of the
city because from it emenates a
wholesome odor of rich chocolate
that pervades the whole area. She
gets to work at 8 o'clock, just as
she did when she started out as ste
nographer for the concern 25 years
ago Her father was founder of the
business in 1894 and she succeeded
him as general manager when he
died 10 years after she started in
the business.
She's made it her life work and
never bothered with matrimony.
In her employ are 155 pople.
many of them women, engaged in
processing the raw cocoa beans that
come bv boat and rail from Africa
and South America.

FLOYD ODLUM'S
STRIDES MADE
IN DEPRESSION
Atlas Corp. Leader Started
Up When Everything Else
Was Going Down.
By linns Special
NEW YORK. Aug. 28. Floyd
Bostwick Odium made a 14-million
dollar bet on U. S. recovery in 1930.
Starting upward at a time when
everything else was going down, Mr.
Odium now heads the largest in
vestment company in the country,
the Atlas Corp. The story of how
he licked the depression and built
up a mammoth concern is teld in
an article in Fortune Magazine Ic-
September.
“In 1926 Floyd Odium's little At
las took a good shellacking in which
its profits were cut in half. At the
end of 1929 Floyd Odium's Atlas had
$14,000,000 in cash and quick as
sets. Today Atlas Corp. is the big
gest investment company in the
U. S with the remains of 22 sepa
rate investment companies piled up
in it and net assets of more than
SIOO 000,000, the magazine says.
Hailed as Wizard
“Floyd Odium is sometimes hailed
as anew wizard of Wall Street, one
of the very few wizards extant in a
day when most of the magicians
have packed up their decks of cards
and vanishing rabbits and settled
down to a quiet life, sans necro
mancy, under the watchful eye of
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission.”
With $14,000,000 in quick assets
in 1930. Mr. Odium started in ac
quiring other investment houses at
a time when money was scarce and
when the prices were good.
Mr. Odium is 43 “and looks as
unremarkable as any man you
might see squeezing out of a New
York subway car. Specifically, there
is some truth in this. Mr. Odium
is middlesized, pale, and inclined to
be spindling; he wears horn glasses,
he is getting bald, and he might at
first remind you of any hard-work
ing male secretary. But once you
know that he is 43 you are sur
prised. He doesn’t look it.
Invariably Moves Fast
“He invariably moves fast, and as
though he knows exactly where he
is going. If you hear much of his
orderly talk you might guess for
yourself that he has been an ex
cellent corporation lawyer. If he
takes off his misleading horn rims
and looks at you fixedly you will see
the long, contained, confident face
of an excellent trading strategist.
“And if the face suddenly shows
a delight which Mr. Odium makes
no attempt to conceal, and he says:
‘You know, three times I have had
the pleasure of getting control of
a company before the directors had
any idea I was doing it’—if this
happens, you may begin to get an
idea of Mr. Odium's fundamental
character.”
In the class book of 1912 at the
University of Colorado, the terse
comment, “manages to get his
hands on everything that makes
money,” appears under Mr. Odium's
picture. Born at Union City, Mich.,
the fifth of five children of a
Methodist minister, began work
early and earned his way through
the university.
He studied law. practiced law at
Rock Springs. Colo., and became
connected with the Utah Power and
Light Company, a subsidiary of
Electric Bond & Share. Later he
moved to the New York office of
Bond & Share. In 1920 he became
vice president and the legal back
bone of the company.

PORKER PRICES
CONTINUE RISE
Market Generally 10 to 25
Cents Higner; Supply
Decreases.
A combination of light receipts
and a stronger demand at the In
dianapolis Stockyards today sent
porker prices sharply 10 to 25 cents
higher than yesterday’s best aver
age. In the extreme lightweight di
vision some classes were as much
as 50 cents above the previous close.
Receipts were estimated at only
3500. compared with a general run

reported at surrounding livestock
markets and influenced by the same
factors as at the local exchange.
Receipts today at 11 surrounding
livestock markets in this district
amounted to only 29.000. compared
with a total of 40,000 at the same
centers last week. All but 188 of to
day’s supply was consumed in active
trading immediately after the open
ing. This indicates sharp improve
ment in the consumers’ demand for
hogs in this district.
The general bulk from 160 to 180
pounds sold at sll.lO to $11.30. while
choice kinds, scaling 180 to 200
pounds, brought $11.30 to $11.45.
Few better classes sold downward
from $11.60, anew top price for
more than a week. Light-lights,
weighing 120 to 140 pounds, cashed
in at $9.50 to $9.75, while 100 to
120 pounds brought $9 to $9.25.
Packing sows sold at $9.25 to $lO.
Activity increased in the cattle
market, although prices were most
ly unchanged at the previous close.
Desirable medium and heavyweight
steers directed to shippers were val
ued from sll to sl2. Others sold
mostly at $10.50 down. Mixed steer
and heifer yearlings held at sll,
while most heifers remained under
$9. Receipts were 1200.
Vealers again continued station
ary. Bulk of good and choice kinds
was salable at $9 to $9.50. Receipts
were 700. Lambs also displayed a
steady trading range, with bulk of
better grade ewe and wether lambs
selling at $8.50 to $9 50. Bucks were
discounted from 50 cents to sl.
Slaughter sheep sold at $1 to $3.25.

AGAINST HOPSON
GETS APPROVAL

Lobby Fund Would Aid
Stockholders.
Bp Times Special
NEW YORK. Aug. 28 —The worn
phrase “widows and orphans" has no
personal meaning to Murray Kan
ncr despite his resentment against
utility holding companies, expressed
in two suits against the Associated
Gas and Electric Cos.
Mr. Kanner and his business
partner. Simon Levor, ask. as stock
holders. that Howard C. Hopson and
John I. Mange, treasurer and presi
dent of A. G. and E. give back to
the system $1,000,000 allegedly spent
lobbying against the Wheeler-Ray
burn bill.
“But we aren't widows or or
phans.” Mr. Kanner said today at
his office, 1450 Broadway. “I'm a
bachelor. Sos my partner."
Would Help Investors
Their court actions—filed in New
York Supreme Court and New Jer
sey Chancery Court —are intended,
however, to benefit the stricken in
vestors, he maintained.
“The ‘death sentence' plan would
benefit all of us,” Mr. Kanner said.
“Mr. Hopson and Mange are like
Midas; everything they touch turns
into gold for themselves.
“Since we started these suits
dozens of other investors have called
up to encourage us. We refer them
all to our lawyer, Archibald Palmer,
at 2 Lafayette-st.”
Mr. Kanner now owns 107 shares
of Class A stock in A. G. E„
two shares of common and three 5
per cent bonds, par SIOOO, now
quoted at S3OO.
Once Worth SII,OOO
The holdings, now worth slightly
more than SIOOO at market prices,
could have brought SII,OOO when the
market was at peak.
Mr. Kanner and Mr. Levor are
proprietors of a mercantile collection
agency. Frank & Arnold. Inc.
Mr. Fanner was asked whether he
would abandon his actions to get
an accounting of $1,000,000 in lobby
ing costs, and more than $9,000,000
in fees supposedly received by Mr.
Hopson and his associates, if As
sociated Gas offered to purchase his
holdings at an attractive price.
He said he wouldn’t give up.
Mr. Palmer said they wouldn't
give up either. “Never,” he added.
