Raleigh, Jan. 22. Exactly what
what will happen to those North Caro
lina growers who do not sign acreage
adustment contracts for tobacco and
cotton this season has not yet been
announced from governmental sour
ces, <’:u!. the fact remains that those
who do not sign face the possibility
of having their sales curtailed with
out receiving the benefit of the rental
and parity payments to be made those
who do sign.
Information of this kind has been
given unofficially to members of the
State College extension service in
charge of the acreage adustment cam
paigns now under way in the State.
Bills also have been introduced into
the present Congress calling for ad
ditional powers to be granted the
Agricultural Adustment Administra
tion which give it authority to curtail
the sales of those who do not co
operate.
Even though these bills should not
be enacted into law, public opinion
will be hard to restrain in the case
-of growers to refuse to curtail their
acreage. Fo-r instance, reports are cur
rent ini some of the counties that
those growers of -tobacco who crop a
large acreage and will not sign the
contracts are liable to hav-e their to
bacco plant beds destroyed. In some
cases, it is intimated that the non
cooperating grower may have his to
bacco pulled up after it is too late
to get additional plants.
The same situation exists in the
case -of cotiton. The grower with a
large acreage refusing to sign an ad
justment contract may lose some of
his cotton this summer.
Extension workers at State College
deplore rumors of this kind and thinn
it the wiser course for all growers to
cooperate and thus receive the benefit
of government payments and at the
same tLme hip raiese the general price
of cotton and tobacco by reducing the
acreage.
“If cotton and tobacco are destroy
ed unlawfully, -bitterness may be en
gendered in a community which will
take many yeais to die down.” say the
eten.jioni workers. “It is much better
that every one cooperate and share in
the rental and parity payments which
•will lie made and in the better crop
prices which will result from volun
tary acreage reduction.”
It is epeofced that those who want
to sign but are prohibit® from doing
-so by reason of certain regulations of
•tlv. contract, will be given special con
sideration in the event that a licensing
system is put into effect later on in
growing -season.

Early Developments Loom
In $200,000 Kidnap Case
St. Paul, Minn,, J-ain. 22.—(AP;—
Unusual activity by police and mjni
be-rs of the Bremer family today pro
voked renewed speculation over
whether contact with the kidnapers
of Edwaid G. Bremer, wealthy bank
er, abducted for $200,000 ransom, was
impending.
Walter Magee, friend of the Brem
ers, *could not be found. He is the
man who received the first and only
note from the kidnapers, shortly after
Bremer was seized about 8:30 a. m.
last Wednesday.
At the Jacob Schmidt Brewing Com
pany, of which Adolph Bremer is prin-*
cipal owner, the telephone line of the
personal friend of President Roosevelt
was kept clear by the company’s op
erator.

Athens, Greece, Jan. 22.—(AP) —
Premier Payanoti Saldaris said today
'Samuel Insull, Sr., former Chicago
utilities operator, must leave Greece
no matter what tne council of state

The general secretary of the coun

over the week-end, but was not forth
coming, as time passed without word
from the abductors.
Blood, a shaky scrawl, a death
threat and a mysterious note decar
ing Bremer had been “bumped off,”
intensified alarm for the man who
last was seen between 8:20 and 8:30
a. m.—January 17.
A suspicion that Bremer might be
dead, close friends of the family said,
led to their determination to turn
over no money for his freedom until
they received a message signed by
him.
Miss Louise Bremer, sister of the
missing banker, voiced sentiment of
the family when she said, “Money
doesn’t mean anything,” and added
the ransom would be quickly paid in
return for her brother’s freedom.
More Rigid Administration
and Supervision Will
Be Demanded
Dully Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Wulfer Hotel,
BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, Jan. 22.—A general tight
ening up of alj the administrative
machinery in both the Civil Works
Administration and the National Re
employment Service here in North
Carolina, as wel as over the entire
nation, is definitely forecast as the r-e
--iresult of revent developments iboth
Jhere and in Washington, according to
careful observers ih-ere. While no one
who really is familial- with what ii
-going on thinks for a moment
Congress will permit -the civil works
program, providing work for the un
employed, to be discontinued, it is be
lieved that it is going to insist upon
much more rigid administration and
supervision of all civil works projects
and mo-re careful observance of the
Jaws and regulations governing place
iment of workers and wages to be
paid. There are also indications that
CWA officials in Washington are*
iplanning to exercise much more rigid
control over State civil works organ
izations by using the National Rem
ployment Service as a sort of balance
wheel that will act in some degree as
a check upon the CWA adminis
tions.
Perhaps the most important step

Treaty Requirements
Washington, Jan. 22 (AP) — Chair
man Vinson, of the naval committee,
predicted to the House today that
Japan would insist upon a fleet ay
big as America’s when present trea
ties expire, and asked approval of
$380,000,000 United States naval 'build
ing program.
A United States Naval near Lon-*
don treaty limits upon completion Os
its present program was pictured to*
day by the House Appropriations
Committee in reporting a $284,747,000
naval supply bill.
Taking issue with statements by
Admiral William H. Stanley, chief of
naval operations, that the condition
of the fleet was not satisfactory, tho
committee reported construction un
der way which, “upon completion,
will bring us current with treaty lim
itations in all combatant categories,
completely discounting overage ton
nage.”
The committee provided for an in
crease of 2,800 enlisted naval and 1,-
000 Marine personnel.
The measure is $23,922,000 less th*n
the current appropriations, and fl,-
585,000 below budget estimates. Tran
sfers of unused funds totalling sd,-
085,000, however, will bring the actu
al cash withdrawals from the Trend*
ury for the Navy to $293,633,000!
Admiral Stanley urged the com
mittee to increase navy enlisted sper
sonnel to 85,000, although saying he
realized President Roosevelt had ask
ed for only 82,500.
If the United States built up to the
“London treaty requirements, he said,
the annual maintenance cost would
be $485,535,000. At the end of the
fiscal year 1935, however, he asserted
the United States, on the basis of 90
percent complement, would be short
