Wallace Says Cotton Crop Increase Will Require New Processing Taxes WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (P) Secretary Wallace reiterated Saturday night, in a letter made public after the Federal Crop Reporting Board had forecast an unexpectedly large increase in this year's cotton crop, new processing taxes should be enacted to finance subsidy payments to cotton growers.

8 (AP) Tempers flared at the rail wage hearing Saturday in a dispute over the cost of living and pay data offered by opposing sides. David Kaplan, statistical witness for the Railroad Workers' Brotherhoods, and J. Carter Fort, railroad counsel, engaged in a three-hour debate over differences in statistics offered by labor and management. When the labor witness answered questions with long explanations, Fort protested: "I don't want this to develop into a filibuster on my time." At another point Kaplan offered to read a newspaper interview quoting Ernest T. Weir, steel executive, on the relation of wages to cost of living.

A railroad attorney questioned its authenticity, and Charles M. Hay of counsel for the Brotherhoods, shouted: "That's insulting!" Then, after thinking it over, Hay added: "I promised not to get mad, but this fellow gets on my nerves." Disabled Boat Taken in Tow By Coast Guard SEATTLE, Oct. 8 (AP) The Coast Guard patrol boat Cyane, of Ketchikan, wirelessed Saturday night she had taken in tow the 38-foot cruiser Pandora, owned by Dr. Homer E.

Craig Says Fusion Movements Healthy Sign, Avers GOP Chairman HITS AT DEMPSEY Rapkoch Bids For Debate on Question Who Is Reactionary A developing fusion movement between Republicans and dissatisfied Democrats was characterized Saturday by George R. Craig, Republican state chairman, as a "healthful sign the people of New Mexico are awakened to the menace of boss rule." His statement was made in reply statements and counter-statements as to the move of so-called Independent Democrats to effect fusion between Democrats in seven counties, including Santa Fe and Rio Arriba. Diego Salazar, motor vehicle commissioner, and Timeteo Luna of the State Highway Department head the independent organiza- tion. Hits at Boss Rule "It is not surprising," Craig stated, "that there should be defections from the present zation in charge of the Democratic party and the present Democratic ticket. "After the treatment accorded the rank and file of Democrats in Bernalillo, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe and other counties by the steamroller organization of the Chavez- Miles-Dempsey faction, independent, free-thinking, progressivelyminded citizens could hardly do less than rebel.

"The Republican has no knowledge of this independent movement other than what we have seen in the press. However, it is needless to say that we welcome its appearance as a most healthful sign that the people of New Mexico are awakening to the menace of boss rule, as it has been handed out to them by the group, and that they are up in arms with the ballot, their rightful and legal weapon, to combat that kind of party management and boss-ruled government." Rapkoch Hits at Dempsey Another political statement was issued Saturday by Peter L. Rapkoch, Las Cruces, last state chairman of the Progressive party, who Continued en Page Two Col. Lance Says GOP Will Carry McKinley Col. G.

Egbert Lance, Gallup publisher, arrived in the city Saturday to take in the opening day of the State Fair. Regarding the political situation in McKinley County, the colonel said: "We are all set and ready for the contest, and Chairman H. P. Power and his corps of able assistants have the in fine shape. We feel confident of carrying McKinley County for the Republicans.

"One of the most gratifying overtures is the fact that lifelong Democrats are breaking away from their party in this election, and are not only lending their moral support, but their financial support. We will have somewhat of a fusion ticket, and already the shades of that branch of Democrats who were set down at the Santa Fe convention is rapidly crossing the Republican threshold. There will be no Santa Claus in McKinley this election." Gallup Teachers Hear Zimmerman, Brayer President James F. Zimmerman of the University and Herbert O. Brayer, director of the Coronado Cuarto Centennial, addressed the Northwestern New Mexico ers convention at Gallup Saturday afternoon.

Zimmerman outlined at some length the present Europe situation with emphasis on the Czech crisis.

Laws 18 the additional three-cent subsidy demanded by the southern congressmen, he said: believe most firmly that the cottone farmers' situation is such that they are going to need continuing help from the Federal Government in the form of ments to supplement their income." Processing Tax Wallace wrote a tax should be levied on the processing or manufacture of cotton to finance these subsidy payments, so they would not interfere with efforts to balance the Federal budget. The first opportunity to enact the processing tax he suggested will be at the next session of Congress, which begins in January. Another way in which the Gov.

ernment may aid cotton farmers, Wallace said, is by helping them obtain more cotton goods for their own use. He suggested some of the 7,000,000 bales of cotton now held by the Government as security for loans might be used in this undertaking. the city, was the scene of shape for the informal fair for Monday at 1:30 p. m. shows the Dairy Cattle Lower picture shows Runaway Balloons Cause Damage Trail Lines Lash English Buildings LONDON, Oct.

8 Britain sent her famed balloon barrage aloft Saturday--dozens of sausagelike bags tied to 7,000 feet of steel cable intended to enmesh enemy aircraft- and Saturday night tried to count up the damage. Five balloons broke away from their moorings and trailed lines which lashed roofs, tore down wires and fences and generally gave Bobbies their busiest afternoon since the European crisis ended. One of the bags at Belvedere, Kent, tore away from its mobile mooring and, trailing several hundred feet of cable, uprooted a garden fence; smashed windows; damaged roofs; brought down telephone wires; and became entangled in a railway line, holding up train service for 20 minutes. Another wrapped a cable around a factory water tower and caught itself. Extra police, including mounted officers, tried to keep the curious crowds from harm as the balloons with their trailing lines swung a I destructive way around the countryside.

The bags are about 65 feet long and have a circumference of: 30 feet. Winches on trucks unwind their mooring cables to let them rise. The idea is that they can be let into the air to for ma "fence," high in the sky, in which enemy aircraft would become entangled if they penetrated Britain's defending line of aircraft.

Skies over Albuquerque were cloudy throughout the day, but no precipitation was reported. More than an inch of rain fell at Clovis during the day, and the storm was reported general over the region from Clovis to Hereford, 69 miles east of Clovis.

Santa Fe reported .32 inch of rain, and Clayton, .3 inch. Two Colorado men, Paul J. Kimball and the Rev. R. H.

McCart, both of La Junta, narrowly escaped death from freezing when a sudden blizzard trapped them on West Spanish Peak, near Walsenburg, Colo.

Oct. 8 (PL Michael Babyak Jr. 14 months old, leaped on a bed at his home Saturday, bounced out the window and fell five stories into a rear yard. When his parents dashed into the yard, Michael jumped up and ran to them. His only injuries were abrasions of the scalp and wrist.

Clothes lines broke his fall. Nearly two months after the battered body of a then unidentified man was found on an Arizona desert roadside, identification was announced Saturday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as that of the long-missing Virgil Vaughn of Baldwin, who was a guest at an Albuquerque hotel on August 2. With the identification of the body, made primarily through dental work, his disappearance assumed the appearance of a mystery 'Apparently Murdered' The Federal Bureau, through Edward P. Guinane, special agent in charge at Kansas City, said that a "murder apparently was committed" as the victim's head had been crushed in, presumably with a blunt instrument. The body was found August 14, in charge at Kansas City, said that three miles east of Solomonville, twelve days after Vaughn left Albuquerque.

Near the body was found a Delta Tau Delta fraternity ring, two miles away were also found blood-stained clothes and a blanket similar to those worn and used by Vaughn. Movements of Auto Federal agents were unable to account for the movements of an automobile in which the Baldwin, man was said to have left Albuquerque for Phoenix, Ariz. This automobile, it has been determined, was sold in Louisiana on August 4, two days after Vaughn checked out of the Albuquerque hostelry. It was believed, by the federal agents, that person or persons who had the car immediately after Vaughn had operated it, had doubled on their tracks. It was also believed likely that two different groups were implicated.

The Government investigators established jurisdiction in the search with the possibility of a violation of the National automobile act in removal of the auto across a state line or that a fled the state to avoid criminal prosecution which is also a Federal offense. Found in Tulsa The search began when Vaughn's auto was found abandoned in Tulsa Sept. 15 and the car was found to have changed hands at least four times before that. Other property and clothes were also found to have been disposed of in Fort Providence, and after questioning clerks and salespeople in the neighborhood, I the New Orleans Federal Investigation Bureau began a search for a "blond-haired man" believed involved in the Vaughn disappearance. Several agents have already been assigned to look into the Arizona aspects of the case.

Positive identification was delayed between Aug. 14 and Oct. 9 when the bureau was waiting for expert reports on the upper dental plates and personal property. The Vaughn disappeanance and the then unidentified body found by the Arizona road were not immediately linked together by authorities. One Nation Votes To Stay With Czechs PRAGUE, Oct.

8 (P) -Parliamentary representatives of Ruthenia Saturday voted, for their mountainous Eastern District to remain within dwindling Czechoslovakia against the wishes of Poland and Hungary. A conference of the Ruthenian representatives urged that autonomy be granted Ruthenia (subCarpathian Russia) similar to the self-government set up this week for the Slovaks. Poland has demanded Ruthenia be ceded to Hungary thus giving Poland and Hungary a common frontier and further cutting off Czechoslovakia from Soviet Russia with whom she has a mutual assistance pact. A strip of thenia already divides Czechoslovakia from the Soviet Union.
