NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 10. (A*)—!
Marking time after Thursday s ad
vance. opening prices on the cotton
market Friday held in a narrow
range, a point or two under the
previous closing levels.
At the first call May sold at 11.89
July at 1190. October at 11.69 and
December at 11.74. and held at these
figures during the early dealings, i
After pausing for a couple of
hours new crop futures extended
the gains achieved in Thursday's
session. Oct was 5 points higher at '
11.74 and Dec advanced a similar
amount to 11.80.
The near months did not share
in this advance. July sagging 5
points to 1188 and May holding
• »ne point under the previous close
for the first half of the trading pe- i
tiod.
The hopes expressed by the cot
ton pool that their recent action
would bring the new crop months
more into line with the rest of the
market appeared to be having the
desired results as bullish tendencies
in these positions narrowed the
differences between crops.

May Have Stopped
It was believed the aircraft, to
avoid a storm which swept over
Midway, may have alighted at one
of two barren little islands this side
of their destination.
Their exact whereabouts was
known only to the United States
Navy.
Ram was falling and a 24-miie
wind was blowing at Midway when
the airmen began taking off from
Pearl Harbor Thursday, lending
credence to the belief the planes
stopped at some intermediate point.
There is no means ot communica
tion between here and the shoals
of Pearl and Hermes Reef, and since
radio silence is maintained at Pearl
Harbor, there is no immediate way
of determining the air fleet's
whereabouts.
Ten to 12 hours had been estim
ated as the time necessary for the
flight to Midway Island.
The take-off was without a h:tch,
and despite the silence of officials
in revealing whereabouts of the Ar
mada. there was nothing to indicate
any fears were felt for its safety..
Fleet In Training
The changing positions of the 48
ships, as they sped over the track
less pacific where no other plane
ever had ventured, was believed
known to forces of the United
States Navy, now maneuvering in a
5.000.000 square mile triangle of the
North Pacific in their 1835 war
games.
Somewhere in the triangle bound
ed by Hawaii, the mainland and the
Aleutian Islands, the 153 ships of
the fleet are carrying out training
problems, of which the flight was
only one phase.
It was learned the planes will be
away from here about one month,
giving rise to the belief some of
them may continue northward from
Midway to the Aleutian Islands,
about 1,700 miles farther.

What The
Legislature
Is Doing
AUSTIN. May 10. l*V-The sas
ate reversed Itself Friday to
prove, 31 to 4, submission of a
constitutional amendment to limit
the governor's pardoning power.
A conference compromise, not
yet adopted by the house, had been
defeated Thursday by two votes.
Under it the governor could grant
clemencies only on recommenda
tion of a board of pardons and pa
roles. One reprieve of 30 days in
death esses would be permitted.
The governor, chief justice of
the supreme court and presiding
judge of the court of criminal
appeals each would appoint on*
member If approved by the house,
it would be submitted at the No
vember. 1036, general election.
In another reversal, the senate
passed and returned to the house
with amendments, s bill to increase
oil production tax collections
1600.000 annually. A previous final
passage vote was reconsidered to
permit adoption of a contested
amendment eliminating an exemp- ,
lion from the tax of production
from state, federal and University
of Texas land*.
Another constitutional amend
ment, proposing exemption of
homesteads of $3,000 value from all
local, except school district, taxes,
was sent to s conference. A minor
ity wanted to refuse the house re
quest, which would have killed It.
Under the 34-hour rule only
conference committee reports and
concurrence in amendments add
ed to bills by the opposite house
may be considered. Noon Satur
day has been set for adjournment.
Dragged down were the gover
nors bills to balance the budget
through levying a chain store tax
and Increasing taxes on sulphur
production The fifth of a series of
corrective bills to strengthen en
forcement of existing taxes by
plugging leaks In the beer levy was
killed in the senate alter house
passage.
A house approved bill to regulate
public utilities by establishment
of a state commission also fell
under the 34-hour rule in them
senate. ~
Members were packing their pa
pers and records in anticipation
of adjournment. It was regarded as
likely, however, that adjournment
would be postponed several hours
to permit engrossing rooms to clear
the mass of legislation passed In
the past few days.
Both houses have delayed action
on the departmental and educa
tional appropriation bill*. It will
require several hours to enroll the
bulky bills.
Other major legislation killed in
the senate included a house “fair
trades bill,'' by which sale of stan
dard brand articles at less than
prices set by manufacturers would
have been prohibited. Many other
house bills as well as many more
senate bills of general application
likewise died.
Speaker Coke Stevenson permit
■ ted the house clock turned back IS
I minutes to clear several local bills,
but Lieutenant Governor Walter
Woodul sustained a point of order
promptly at noon.
