MOVE TO UNIFY SOUTHERN FACTIONS IN COTTON PLAN BECAPTL'RK WORLD MARKET SOUGHT UNDER PROGRAM "EXPORT BOUNTY" IS PLANNED BY WALLACE OSCAR JOHNSON CREDITED WITH EVOLVING OF POLICY' WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. yP) While the president prepares to ex amine his political fences in the west, some very deft politico-maneuvering Is being planned In the south. It Isn't advertised as such, but It has the earmark of a very Judicious mix ing of heart and pocketbook balm for the disgruntled southern Demo crats, high, low and middle. The move Is carefully camouflaged with cotton blossoms but sharp-eyed observers claim to see underneath the Innocent covering a definite and well laid campaign to unify the south by bringing together conflicting dosses In support of an economic Issue. The campaign starts on October 1 at the triple A meeting in Memphis. The general-ln-command will be Secretary Wallace, with a staff of ace advisers and publicity men. The ammunition will be an outline of an optimistic program for a re capture of the world market for cot ton. This will Involve a reversal of the triple A policy. Secretary Wallace will announce the discontinuance of the former policy of high loan val ues, which maintained an artificial price for cotton. The new procedure will permit cotton to seek Its own level In the world market. A sub sidy to the American producer will make up the dlference between what is known as the domestic allotment prloe and the world price. What It amounts to Is an "export bounty." Meanwhile, an effort will be made. In line with the Hull trade pacts, to obtain reduction of tariffs on im ported goods and thus Increase the buying power of some of America's foreign cotton customers. Behind the forthcoming dramatic announcement Is a well-laid plan, prepared with an eye to make It not only economically understandable, but politically effective. The man re sponsible for the spade-work Is Oscar Johnston, big cotton planter from Mississippi, recently called upon by Secretary Wallace, because of his prac tical experience, to replace Cully Cobb, former chief cotton adviser to the secretary. While It was not disclosed at the time (or since). It was Johnston who dictated the present nine-cent cot ton loan and three-cent subsidy. And when this started the riot In Dixie, it was likewise Johnston who met the embattled state commissioners In Memphis and told them to keep their shirt on until they heard what Sec retary Wallace had up his sleeve. Nor have the "big fellows" been the only ones to get special treat- (OonUnued on Page Eight.) SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS t. v Aann renlvlne- to the lament of Prof. B. M.

Mussolini's Son Avoids Communists on Arrival NEW YORK, Sept. 33( AP) Successfully thwarting plans for a communlst-antl-fasclst demonstration, Vlttorlo Mussolini, 30-year-old youngest son of the Italian premier, was virtually spirited ashore, under heavy police guard, upon his arrival from Italy today. Young Mussolini, en route to hoi- j lywood to learn the motion picture business, waa taken from the Italian liner Rex at quarantine, put aboard a special cutter, and hurried to a previously unannounced landing at the 34th street ptcr, Manhattan. Two police boHte went out with the special cutter and escorted it in. and at the pier was an extra detail of 50 policemen. Meanwhile crowds of Italians and other well-wishers gathered at the Rex'a regular pier, 30 blocks away, were disappointed aa the liner pulled In, more than an hour after Its star passenger had been swallowed up In Manhattan Unfile. If disappointing to any anti-fascists who had planned protest dem onstrations, this secret landing also was understood to have anmyed Hal Roach, Hollywood producer, under whose wing Mussolini will study and who arrived with him today. The landing meant no shipboard interviews were to be had, and It left ew photographers with only poorly exposed plates.
