D. Felder and company firm of Dallas. J. J. Miller, who purchased last year's.

first bale, opened with a bid of 44-cents a pound. and 15 minutes later J. E. Japhet, change president closed the sale with the bid of $2.05 from Anderson-Clayton. Farmer Stays In Background Rivera, standing well in the background, didn't know for sure just what Japhet and the bidders were saying but he had a pretty good idea.

When Japhet referred to him during the bidding and everyone on the crowded exchange floor looked. in the little farmer's direction, Rivera would smile broadly and self-consciously, shift from one foot to the other. He didn't utter a word during the entire proceedings. He was very tired, but not too tired to be very happy. At 1 he Thad arrived at the exchange after an all-night truck drive from McAllen, where the bale was ginned yesterday.

Nightwatchmen helped him haul his prize bale to the sixteenth floor of the big exchange building and then directed him to a nearby hotel where a' room had been reserved for him. But he couldn't sleep. The events of the past 48 hours had been too much. Picking Starts Saturday Early Saturday he decided the cotton his little 30-acre farm near Mission was ready for picking. He called in relatives and friends and the mad rush to gain the state's first bale title was on.

Picking was completed late yesterday afternoon and the cotton was rushed to' the McAllen Gin company, about 25 miles away. W. G. Davis, manager of the gin, tried unsuccessfully to obtain a plane to bring the bale to Houston. About 6 p.m.

Rivera and Jesse Castleman, an employe of the gin, started out for Houston with the bale in a pickup truck. It took seven hours to cover the approximately 350 miles from the Rio Grande valley. Japhet said Rivera's prize bale is the first to be received from Starr county in the annual bonus race since 1944. Harlingen had the first bales the past two years after a wartime layoff in 1945 when the Houston exchange temporarily dropped its annual guarantee of a bonus of at least $500 for the first bale marketed here. The 1946 bale arrived June 12, the carliest date in recent years.

In 1921, however, the first bale was received on May 26. FALSE ALARM ON CRASH AUSTIN, June 14.

NEW YORK, June 14 (AP)-Despite the presence, of such fine left handers Newhouser, Warren Spahn, Harry Brecheen, Joe Page and rookies Gene Bearden and Curt Simmons, the southcontingent in the majors is having a rough time of it this year. With' all teams idle today the records show that the 41 portsiders who have figured in decisions have 100 victories against 117 defeats for a .461 percentage.

The National League lefthanders have won almost as many as they've lost, 61 to 68. The American League southpaws are far behind with only 39 triumphs against 49 defeats, including games of Sunday. There was no action in the majors today, the National League western teams traveling on their, second invasion of the east. In the junior circuit, the western teams will be host to the easterners for the second time starting tomorrow. Only two teams in the American, Cleveland and Detroit, show a better than .500 percentage on the southpaw side.

That is because of Bearden and Newhouser. The Indian freshman has won six and lost one for the best record of all lefthanders in the majors. Newhouser, after a slow start, has won his last six games to boast a 7-5 won. and lost record. No other American League lefthander has a winning percentage with the exception of Detroit's Stubby Overmire and Cleveland's Bill Kennedy.

Court Ruling Assures Insurance Dividends The Supreme court today knocked down a lower court ruling that would have multiplied the value of many service life insurance policies, at a cost in billions of dollars. The unanimous finding was that Mrs. Tillie Zazove of Chicago gets only the $29.50 a month which the Veterans administraiton she has coming. contended it should be $48.08, for lile. The decision directly affects every one of 19,387.000 policies by permitting the VA to start ing out the dividend payments due policyholders out of an insurance fund of $6,735,000.000.

Prior to the high court ruling the government had said it could)n't pay dividends. It figured that instead of a surplus in the insurance treasury it would be tens of billions short of having enough to meet death claims. The VA said it will start at once figuring out what dividends the policyholders have coming, but the job is so big that. actual disbursement may not start for year. Part of the fund must be set aside as a reserve for claims on various policies, and administration of the payments will cost an additional $20,000.000.

At the end of March, there were 19,387,000 approved policies with valuc of $151,147,000,000. Of these, 6,250,000 policies with an estimated face value of 000,000.000, are still in force.
