AMERICAN LEGION
HOLDS IIS PARADE
All Miami Turns Out For
Brilliant Coloring of Na
tional Convention
Miami, Fla., Oct. (API-The
American Legion went on parade to
day.
Thousands of uniformed Legion
naires cast convention business aside
for the huge annual pageant of bands,
drum and bugle corps and drill teams.
And all of Miami except public utility
workers took the day off so the city’s
110.000 might cheer the marchers. It
was a holiday by proclamation of
Governor Dave Scholtz and local au'
thorities.
The path of the marchers was the
shortest in the history of Legion
parades scarcely two miles.
The route lav between long rows of
newly-erected grandstands along
palm-lined B'scayne boulevard and
passed the reviewing stand before Na
tional Commander Edward A. Hayes
and his distinguished guests.
Automobiles were barred from
much of the city’s downtown area
that the parade might form and dis
perse without interference from
vehicles.
Legionnaires estimated it would re
quire at least five hours to pass the
reviewing stand aflor the first units
salute the national commander.

Detroit, Mich., Oct. 23 <AF) —Veer-
ing southward, the stratospheric bal
loon in which Dr. Jean and Mrs. Jean
nette Piccard are making observa
tions of the cosmic rays was sighted
over Akron, Ohio, about 1 p. m. to
day at an altitude of about 40,000 feet
The report received from the Akron
airport said the balloon was drifting
in a southeasterly direction at a
speed about 15 miles an hour.
It was sighted from an airplane.
At noon it had been seen over Cleve
land, and fellow birdnicn who sighted
it said that apparently all was well
with the husband and wife crew.
Lou Gravis, a United Air Lines pilot
who sighted the huge silver bag over
Cleveland said its altitude was “very
high, ’ and Beckwood J. Hill, chief of
the ground crew here, said he believed
the Piccards were 40,000 feet or more
high.
Gravis saw the balloon at 11:45 a.
ni., eastern time. At 10:10 a. m., an
American Air Line pilot, S. Stephens,
reported sighting the stratospheric
fliers between Sandusky and Loraine,
Ohio, which meant they had complet
ed the hazardous flight across Lax
Eric. rv
The Piccards took off from Ford
airport at 6:58 a. m., the gondola bare
ly clearing a clump of trees as Mrs.
Piccard, the only licensed woman
balloon pilot in the United States,
hastily dumped 50 pounds of lead bal

view of the 45,000 spectators.

To Increase
Allotments
For Cotton
College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 23. —
Cotton allotments for 1935, under the
adjustment contracts, will be 25 pei
cent larger than they were this year.
This year a grower who had a bae
of 10 acres was allotted six acres to
plant. Next year he probably will bo
allotted seven and a half acres, ac
cording to Dean I. O. Schaub, of Stau
College.
The increase in allotments to be
allowed is due largely to the fact that
the cotton program has removed most
of the surplus cotton that was re
sponsible for the low prices or 1932
and growers can now start producing
as much cotton as is consumed each
year, the dean explained.
The exact size of the allotments will
not be announced, Schaub added, unti
the AAA cotton section finishes its
study of the cotton situation, includ
ing both domestic and foreign mar
kets.
Growers who have already signed
contracts will keep the contracts
they have, while non-signers will be
given another chance to join the pro
gram and participate in the cental
and benefit payments.
Schaub pointed out that the referen
dum to be conducted on the Bank
