1 economic problem today by asking federal and state legislation to aid its progress, which they termed vital to the country' advancement. Approximately 40 prominent Southerners proposed an extensive program designed to improve the ills. They urged federal aid for agriculture, health, education, labor and freight rate differentials through continuation or expansion of New Deal agencies. State legislation for formulation of land policies to utlize land resources for human adjustment, rehovation of measures affecting owner-tenant, relationship, and a program providing guarantees of civil liberties extended to labor under the national wage-hour wag suggested. The group organized a "Council of Southern Regional Development yesterday, and named Mark Ethridge, geenral manager of the Louisville, Courier Journal and Times, as its chairman.

The council is designed to co-ordinate the work being carried out by "ft number of Southern agencies. Long-range planning for South is its aim. The Southerners studied the National Emergency Councils report to President Roosevelt, which led to the Souths designation as the nation's foremost economic problem, and concluded we must accept that report as an essential true diagnosis" of economic conditions in their section. For agriculture, they tiregd "coij-, tinued expansion of the rehabilitation work of the Farm Security Administration, to place farmer of the lowest income group on the. agricultural ladder, and to provide the authorized appropriations for the Bankhead-Jones farm ten-, ant act, to offer further appoftun-ities to farmers of more advanced qualifications.

Continuation of th federal housing program, with equivalent appropriations for rural and urban rehousing, also were proposed.

(Bud) Bosweil, of Geneva; Probate Judge J. M. Moore, of Fayette, and Walter Lusk, Guntersville attorney) were those for whom supporters claimed success was in sight. Silas D. Cater, Montgomery law yar, and Nelson Fuller, of Centerville, withdrew last night.

Fuller said he was throwing his support to McCorvey, while Cater was noncommittal. Supporters of McCorvey, Mobile, for the chairmanship were heartened today by indorsement of their candidate by Walter J. Price. Hur.tsvilte committeeman. Price sata tie had decided to throw his support to McCorvey.

His statement: After carefully considering the suggestions of my friends that I permit my name to be presented to the state executive committee as its new chairman, and while greatly appreciating the assurances of support I have received, I have decided not to become, candidate. I believe that Mr. Gessner T. McCorvey of Mobile is the best equipped and qualified man for this position. I shall support him.

I Besides electing a chairman, the committee, meeting three hours after Frank M. Dixon is inaugurated Alabamas 42nd governor, will be called upon to select a national committeeman. Marion Rushton, Montgomery attorney and Dixon campaign aide, was the only, person mentioned, although some state committeemen said they would prefer delaying action and submitting tn! question to the electorate in 1940. E. W.

Pettus of Selma, former state chairman and retiring committeeman, espoused Rushton for the office, saying the party "should not wait until 1940. John D. McQueen of Tuscaloosa, retiring chairman, did not seek reelection. Judge Leon McCord, of Montgomery, resigned as national committeeman to become a U. S.

circuit judge. Boswell, McCorvey and Moore said they indorsed Governor-elect Dixon's stand against sending a pledged delegation to the 1940 presidential convention. Dixon urged an unpledged delegation "to present a united front" with other Southern states in demanding elimination of what he termed unfair legislation and freight rate differentials.

16 (AP) Italy's anti-French campaign gained new impetus today with newspaper threats that Italians might avenge French "insults" with guns. The press attacks came as Italy made an Insurgent victory tn the Spanish civil war the price for settling her quarrel with France over colonial influence in the Mediterranean. Newspapers unanimously published defiant protests against a statement attributed by the Paris newspaper LOrdre to an anonymous French officer, that 10 Italian soldiers were hardly enough to fight one retired Frenchman. Virginio Gayda, one of Italys most responsible editors, wrote that French hatred of Italy was breeding Italian hatred of France, until "finally the rifles will go off by themselves. Although the article in LOrdre Was published last Thursday, indignation in Italy reached full cry only after Prime Minister Chamberlains departure frond his appeasement visitse to Premier Mussolini.

Newspapers published telegrams from heads of Italian organizations of war veterans to Edouard Guyot, who signed the article, calling him and the unnamed officer he quoted "low persons" and "liars. Gayda, asking whether a "suicidal mania is moving the French against. Italy, declared that Italy is "always in the line to defend her national honor, "even by arms. Italy's determination not to set tie her quarrel with France until the Spanish war ended successfully, became apparent with publication of the foreign office of an In-formazione Diplomatica bulletin. The bulletin outlined what Mussolini told Chamberlain in their conversations last week.

Some diplomatic circles thought the stiffening Italian attitude was 7 es inThBarcelona 0Uth ConiCSSCS offensive. They also saw again a 'Tn Kill danger that the Spanish conflict! UWfWtJ I 14,1 could become a general European fight. Mussolini told the British pre mier, said the foreign office bulletin quoting "responsible Roman circles, that specifically the Ital ian quarrel with France could not be settled until after the Spanish war, because "the Spanish question has divided and still divides profoundly the two countries. Italy is prepared furthermore to send even more Italian fighters to the Spanish Insurgent army, if France or other democracies suddenly embark upon a program of large scale aid to the Barcelona government. Troops now in Spain will be withdrawn only if belligerent rights are granted the Insurgent generalissimo, Francisco Franco, and if foreign fighters are eliminated from Spanish government ranks to the satisfaction of Italy.

Mussolini further told Chamber-lain, the foreign office bulletin said, that "in the meantime, there is absolutely no question of talking of arbitration, mediation, four-power conferences, or even three-power conferences. The bulletin concluded with the observation that "after the Chamberlain and Mussolini contact, any pessimism, as well as any excessive optimism, would seem pre mature, although the "idea of maintaining peace of Europe was expressed by both the Italian and British conferees "with firm conviction. Diplomatic circles believed that this rude shock to the Chamber-lain peace policy indicated Mussolini would use an expected Spanish Insurgent victory as the ground' work for a drive to get more Mediterranean territory. Reports from Geneva that Britain and France were considering, a new plan to appease Italy with concessions in Djibouti and Zeila, British Somaliland, with the possibility also of a British loan, brought no official comment here. unter Heine ekes, Pittman autorit(iren Made in Germany, this appeared in a Berlin newspaper Vulture.

A.

Rodgers, county forester, reported to the county board of commissioners this morning. The acres burned represents 1.24 per cent of the 193,000 acres in woodland in the county. The report for 1937 showed 60 fires burned .82 per cent of the total woodland acres. Mr. Rodgers said the increase in the number of fires and percentage acres burned wag not caused by a lack of alertnes on the part of employes, or interest on the part of citizens of the county, but as as result of the extended drouth pre' vailing over the last four months of the year.

Each fire during the year averaged burning 30.45 acres. This high average is the result of three fires burning large areas that could not be controlled near the end of the drouth, Forester Rodgers explain More than 1,000 citizens volun teered their service to help extinguish the blaze. CCC camps also gave assistance when called upon. "Our planting program has been curtailed because the drouth cut short our nursery stock," Mr. Rodgers reported.

"Some orders have been cancelled because of a shortage of seedlings to fill them, but there were about 1,200 acres planted in the county with stock saved from the drouth. This number, added to the 7,841 acres already planted in the county, will increase to 9,041 the total acres planted iq the last three years. The report of Mr. Rodgers individual work in 1938 is as follows: Miles traveled on official duty, hours spent fighting fire, 216 1-2; hours spent on fire data (measuring' and mapping) 138; persons interviewed on forestry and related subjects, schools visited and addressed, 13; hours protecting and caring for state lands, 13; hours on research (gathering and selecting seeds), 41; and addresses to clubs and community gatherings, 22. but low in financial resources.

Appropriation of federal fund for equalization of educational opportunities In all states, the funds to be an "equitable distribution between the races and democratic distribution amog the states was recommended. The group indorsed the federal legislative and administration program for guaranteeing rights of labor, and asked continued application of the fundamental principles on which the program is based. including wage standards and collective bargaining. These were the "immediate objectives expected of legislative action, but the report insisted that in addressing the federal government, the South is not in the position of a mendicant; she asks nothing to w-hich she is not entitled; she asks nothing which is not for the ultimate national good. So much of Southern economy is the "result of national policy that the remedy must largely He in national treatment of fundamentals which underlie" the South's -economy, the council added.

The report attacked federal tariffs, which it said "have inevitably meant that industrial sections of the country drained off the capital and reserves of agricultural sections. It asserted we are unable to build an industrial economy comparable in any respect to the favored areas of the country because of freight rate differentials. The group, called together by Etheridge; Barry Bingham, president of The Louisville Courier-Journal and Times, and State Representative Francis P. Miller of Fairfax, also proposed abolition of the poll tax as the prerequisite to voting. Signers of the report included: Superior Judge Blanton Fortson of Athens, R.

Only one of the 13 large camps set up seven days ago along two major Southeast Missouri highways, in protest against a low economic status, remained. State highway patrolmen expected to have the rest of the men.

women and children moved by nightfall. Nearly 500 negroes were taken to the 40-acre spillway tract yesterday in state trucks, and lost no time in setting up a new camp. Tents, mostly of quilts and blankets or old canvas, were pitched in rows, resembling the orderliness of an army camp. An American flag was run up on a pole at the end of the rpws of tents. The tenant farmers called their new site "the Homeless Junction," but declared it nevertheless was better than living on the highway.

Men again sat about camp (ires last night singing and strumming their guitars, while the women prepared supper. One family set up an old battery radio set. There were no rts of violence or disorder in the new camp. Farmers continued to do their own policing, and the groups also have their own "councils." Some of the sharecroppers, mostly white persons, returned to the farms where they previously had lived, after landowners agreed to take them back.

Sol FRANKFURTER, MURPHY OKEH Will Open Friday With Solicitations For Dimes If changes in the benefit provisions of the act make it necessary to secure additional funds, the board said, it would be sound public policy, in the opinion of the board, to pay part of the cost out of taxes other than those on payrolls. The President emphasized the desirability of affording greater old age security. He described as sound a "two-fold approach recommended by the Social Security Board on this point.

"One way, he said, "is to begin the payment of monthly old age insurance benefits sooner, and to liberalize the benefits to be paid in early years. "The other way is to make pro portionately large federal grants in aid to those states with limited fiscal capacities, so that they may provide more adequate assistance to those in need. This result can and should be accomplished in such a way as to involve little, if any, ad-ditional cost to the federal government. Such a method embodies principle that may well be applied to other federal grants-in-aid." The President also described as sound two approaches recommended by the board for greater aid to dependent children. One way, he said, "is to extend our federal old age insurance system so as to provide regular monthly benefits not only to the aged, but also to the dependent children of workers dying before reaching retirement age.

The other way is to liberalize the federal grants-in-aid to the states, to help finance assistance to dependent children. Regarding the old age and un employment compensation systems the President said "equity and sound social policy require that the benefits be extended to all of our people as rapidly as administrative experience and public understand ing permit." Such an extension, he continu ed, "is particularly important in the case of the federal old age insur ance system. Even without amend ment. the old age insurance benefits payable in the early years are very liberal in comparison with the taxes paid. Thia is necessarily so.

in order that these benefits may accomplish their purpose of forestalling dependency. But this very fact creates the necessity of extending this protection to as large a proprortion as possible of our employed population in order to avoid unfair discrimination. The President said much of the success of the act had been due to the fact that all of the programs, with one exception, are administered by the states themselves. He added, however, that in some states 'incompetent. and politically dominated personnel has been distinctly harmful.

Therefore, he recommended that the states be required as a condition for the receipt of federal funds to maintain a merit system for the selection of personnel. Reviewing operations of the act, President said mors than needy old people, blind persons and dependent children are now receiving $500,000,000 a year Last year, he added, 3 500.000 unemployed received benefits aniount-ing to $400,000,000. The old age Insurance system now covers persons, who were likened by the president to the policy holders of a private insurance company We shall make the most orderly progress, he said, if we look upon social security as a development toward a goal, rather than a finished product. We shall make the most lasting progress if we recognize that social security can furnish only a base upon which each one of our citizens may build his individual security through his own individual efforts.

Jan. 16 (JP) The newspaper Kokumin declared editorially today that the Japanese people are determined to smash the American fleet, if the United States intends "to get a political foothold in China by fortifying the Guam and Wake islands. The article, which caused a sensation in Tokyo, demanded to know the real intentions of the American people in the Western Pacific, not those of the President or the State department. (W-nington reports last week listed among proposals for new naval bases the long demilitarized Island of Guam, 1.500 miles from Japan, and said an air and submarine base there would outflank any Japanese advance-to the south or west, but would call for a basic decision on national policy, in view of the resentment likely to be aroused in Tokyo. (Plans have been drawn for improving the lagoon at Wake island for surface craft of tonnage under cruisers.) The newspaper, which has considerable circulation in military circles, said that if the United States wants only io increase trade with China, then Japan would assist, but if America seeks to interfere with Japans China policy, even resorting to arms, then Japan must be ready to smash the American fleet.

This is the view not of the army and navy, but the determination of the Japanese people. Kokumin said, since it realized such fortification would menace Japan's mandated islands, and naturally the Japanese are gravely concerned." The fortification of Guam and Wake is justifiable, it continued, 'only if the American people object to Japan's policies in China and intend to interfere with them. The article asked: Does America intend to destroy Japan policies in the Far East by mobilizing her great fleet? Is the intention that of Roosevelt, the State department or the American people? Do American military experts think the fortification of Guam and Wake is necessary to protect the United States CARMICHAEL TAKES OATH FROM JUSTICE Solicitations for the infantile pa in Madison coun ty will officially begin Friday and continue through Jab. 30, Jeff D.
