COTTON PLAN GETS PRAISE AT PARLEYS «rl 0 . — Georgia Group Offers Opposition But Is Voted Down; Sec. Wallace Is Lauded BIRMINGHAM. Ala. May 10.— OP)—Resolutions commending Sec retary Wallace lor his conduct of the cotton control plan and making recommendations to the AAA re garding the planV future Friday had the approval of a group rep resenting several phases of the cot ton Industry despite the objections of a delegation from Georgia. A ten-point list of recommend ations was adopted Thursday night at the meeting here attended by commissioners of agriculture, cot ton growers and cotton shippers from 13 states. They had been call ed to talk over suggestions to the AAA for continuing the cotton program. Tom Linder. Georgia's commis sioner of agriculture, led the dele gation's attack on the resolutions. J. T. Sanders of Oklahoma was successful In putting over a recom mendation that the government if it deems it advisable In lieu of the 12-cent loan, guarantee the farmer a parity return from cotton, cotton seed and parity payments at least equal to the gross amount received In 1934. Besides commending Secretary Wallace, the resolutions adopted Included the following: .Retention of the processing tax ok* some other form of compensatory tariff, levied on the product bene fited. That the equalizing tariff be placed on Jute. Jute products, sisal products and other competing prod ucts and the revenue be used to reduce the cotton processing tax. That all competing products domestically produced be subjected Vo processing tax. the revenue to be AjH in cutting the cotton tax. ^That government agencies place their orders for cotton goods im mediately to aid the textile industry in the slack summer season. That the department of agricul ture provide funds for research to find new uses for cotton. That the department of agricul ture obtain adoption of the neces sary measure to require cotton to be sold by net weight. * That the department acquire and dispose of through charitable org anizations all untenderable cotton. That the government adopt a fixed and definite plan to liquidate its cotton holdings over a definite term of yeara. Movie Sidelights CAPITOL William Powell and Ginger Ro Es in RKO-Radio’s "Star of lnight” showing Friday and Saturday at the Capitol, Browns ville. brings to the screen perhaps the best of the modern mystery dramas Powell, as Clay Dalzell, a bril liant attorney who Is drawn Into the solution of a perplexing mys tery; and Miss Rogers, as Donna Mantin. a willful young society beauty who knows the man she wants to marry and how to get him. are seen at their best.

The Silver Streak showing Friday and Saturday at the Queen Theatre, Brownsville. It shows a train going at an in credible speed with the engineer at death grips in the cab. Around curves It goes, and through switches that open Just in time, missing freight trains by an eye lash. over drawbridges that close In the nick of time. The relief from the thrill, aside from a strong love interest between Sally Blane and Charles Starrett as the romantic leads, is the com edy provided by an able team of funny men. Edgar Kennedy.

Truth fully told, it is a heart interest drama that touches upon one of th*> most vital situations of life. Punctuated with moments of hu mor, of -trong drama and tragedy. It depends upon none of these things exclusively to “put it over."

(Continued from Page One) a few years hence at more than 100 shows that mo6t believe inflation will go further than the government now intends it to go. WHAT TO EXPECT ON BUSINESS VOLUME Nothing is quite as important as business volume, the quantity of goods turned out and distributed to consumers. Even profits are incidental, for where there is volume there is apt to be prosperity and, somehow, profits. Perspective on business volume: High peak in June 1929. 125. Down to low of 58 in July 1932. Average, 1933. 76. Average, 1934, 79. Now running about 87. figures represent monthly index of industrial production, by Fed eral Reserve Board. 1929-25 average—100. Figures are adjusted for sea I sonal variations, so that each month's figures show industrial production in relation to ‘ what it ought to be” for that month. Average for full year 1935 Is expected to be 82 to 84. This is the composite estimate of many competent analysts who have contributed to this series of letters. It is a highly controversal matter — the busi ness volume during the remainder oi the year. This estimate of 82 to 95 is quite moderate. It is based on many considerations. Including due weight for the retarding influences of politics. Looking further ahead, estimates from the same sources: 1936 business volume perhaps 85 to 90. This is conservative. The chances for better business than 85-to-90 in 1936 depend considerably on whether new capital issues start on a large scale. This depends on whether business confidence picks up. It WILL, but prob ably not in buoyant fashion until late 1936. 1987 A FULL YEAR OF “PROSPERITY” Of course, any vision two years ahead is foggy. It is lutile to try to be too precise. There is danger of overlooking some factors, and of giving improper weight to others. At best, figures far ahead can be only impressionistic, but in an effort to give what seems to be the pic ture without a great quantity of weeds, the figures are used. The same processes suggest that— 1937 will be the earliest fall year of real “prosperity." 1938 also prosperous, perhaps with no big gain over 1937, perhaps a consolidation of the gains of 1937. taking up the 1937 slack, perhaps industrial production of around 115. as compared with 87 now. New high plateau of business. 1939-41. preceded by four or five of something resembling prosperity, followed by another depression, an other liquidation of the excesses of the late ’SO’s. Business cycles not yet ended? No, probably not. Recent reforms may make them more moderate in both ups and downs, but the whole economic and political system is probably not yet sufficiently develop ed to prevent them. This view. V correct, has important bearing on your owm plans for your future. Plans for the next three or four years must be on a different basis than plans for the next ten years or longer.

Karloff, the grotesque crea ture of the original Frankenstein, a murderous giant constructed from parts of dead bodies and brought to life at the height of a crashing elec trical storm, comes to the Rivoli Theatre in San Benito Friday and Saturday and at the Arcadia Theatre in Harlingen Saturday midnight and Sunday and Monday in “The Bnde of Frankenstein." In this new picture the monster is seen in further adventures of such hair-raising nature that it is said to furnish the ultimate in ghast ly thrills. At the conclusion of the original Frankenstein picture it will be remembered that the monster i was apparently destroyed in a bum-1 ing mill, but the opening scenes of -The Bride of Frankenstein shows how he escaped death and returns to throw the entire country side into a state of terror.

Texaa Wit nesses at the trial connected Ham ilton and Barrow with the killing. He was sentenced to life Impris onment although he denied the crime. CLINGS TO HOPE Even after night had fallen. Hamilton had pleaded with Lee Simmons, prison system manager, to communicate with one of his attorneys and ask him to hurry here. Simmons failed for some time to convince him that his lawyers, his mother and Katie Jenkins, his latest heart interest, had tried all avenues and failed to help him. Unsuccessful appeals were made Thursday to Governor James V. Allred and to the court of ap peals in Austin. Finally, however, he accepted the inevitable and summoned a icatfie of the natty that hr had shown d Brine hie career To help maintain him at the end. A particular point of pride with the runt bandit in life had been hie natty drem. “It looks bad for me to go over with a pair of ragged pants." he complained in or mi-jocular vein aa he noticed a torn place in the garment. “And where are my suspenders? My hip* are an small that my breeches will probably fall off if someone can't find them." The suspenders were found and given to him. Several hours before the exec ution Thursday night, newspaper men asked Hamilton If he wanted to my anything about the In fluence of women on his life. “None of them has any Influence on me,” be replied. “None except Katie—I love Katie." Red-haired Katie Jenkins visit ed him Wednesday—hating quit a job aa a night clnb entertainer in California to come here and try to help him. "How about giving some advice on crime.

Palmer interrupted the fasten ing of the head straps to, say: "I forgot to thank my two friends from Corsicana who came down to see the excretion." Then he motioned for the ex ecution to proceed.
