WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Govern-
ment payments to more than 4,000,000
farmers who compiled with the 1939
crop control program will be 10 per
cent lower than tentative estimates
announced last November.
Explaining the reduction, the agri-
cultural adjustment administration
said that the $500,000,000 allotted for
soil conservation benefits, • would
have to be sliced into smaller indi-
vidual shares because more farmers
participated in the program than pre-
viously estimated.
The 10 per cent cut will apply to
some 2,000,000 cotton farmers, 2,000,-
000 or more farmers who receive “soil
depleting crop” payments in 10 north
central states, and several hundred
thousand rice and air-cured tobacco
growers. It will not apply, however,
to corn, wheat and other tobaccos.
Growers of these crops will receive
the previously announced rates.

Big Auction Sale
Cattle at County Fair
The Collin County Livestock As-
sociation held a splendid meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce. J. W.
Shepard of Plano presided and called
on C. Hansford Ray, president of the
Collin County Fair Association, for a
report on preparations for the coming
Fair.
“Everything in good shape, with the
livestock division of the Fair, especial-
ly, encouraging.” Much credit is due
the Purebred Livestock Association
for its efforts to make the 1939 event
an outstanding one.
Roll call, reading of the minutes of
the past meeting, and the treasurer’s
report by Senretary-Treasurer Joe H.
Wilcox followed Mr. Ray’s comments.
Plans call for cattle auction’ sale,
which is expected to draw many
stockmen from other sections. The
sale will be conducted under a large
tent especially equipped in order that
the auction may be handled most con-
veniently. President Shepard re-
quested that Mr. Slaughter, Joe C.
Moore and W. Dungan act in the
capacity as managers of the sale.
Secretary Hammond Moore of the
Senior Chamber of Commerce and the
Free Fair Association presented sug-
gestions for re-arranging the poultry
and livestock exhibition space which
met with th© approval of the Live-
stock Association.
Mr. Slaughter announced that the
following cattlemen: J. M. Slaughter,
J. L. Gibson, J. C. Moore, W. Dungan,
Mr. Hart, Roy Phillips, Frank Kerby,
W. H. Kirby, Bob Fortner and Edgar
Savage will offer for sale several fine
specimens from their herds.
The meeting will meet again Satur-
day, September 16.
Monroe Slanghter, Melissa stock-
man told the gathering that in a re-
cent tour of the county to line up cat-
tlemen to offer their stock at a cattle
auction during the Fair, owners up to
that date had agreed to bring 20 milch
cows, eight beef heifers, two bulls, and
five club boy calves for the auction.

25,000 Bales Cotton
Near Burning—30
Bales Consumed
Score again for McKinney’s cracker-
jack fire boys. The fire department
was called to the McKinney Compress
Company early Wednesday morning,
where a fire had broken loose. About
30 bales were destroyed or damaged.
The fire is believed to have originat-
ed from a fire-packed bale of cotton.
The firemen got to the scene hur-
riedly and saved much of the cotton in
the 30 hales that were damaged by
fire, which it is said did some $600 or
$700 damage. The compress now has
some 25,000 bales of cotton stored
there.

Washington, Aug. 23.—Representa-
tives of 'important government agen-
cies met Wednesday for the second
time in 24 hours to discuss means of
dealing with effects of the European
crisis on this country.
The topics with which officials here
were most concerned were safeguard-

forcing the neutrality act to prevent
shipment of contraband in event

A letter from Supt. W. L. Roper of
Anna public school, requests that the

corps of 11 teachers. Superintendent
Roper has been at the head of this
school for 30 years.
Two busses are used to bring stu-
dents to and take them from the

Sensible Sam
Francis Marion Black, Jr., whose
death sentence for the cliff slaying of
a 13-year-old boy was commuted • to
life imprisonment last week, will be
' interviewed during the 75th consecu- day to cut short his seagoing vacation
tive broadcast of “Thirty Minutes Be-
hind the Walls” over WBAP at 10:30
o’clock last night (Wednesday).
He was arrested June 9, 1938, after
the death of Marvin Dale Noblitt, the
boy he allegedly pushed from a 400-
foot cliff near Alpine. He related his
feelings while living in death tqw and
his struggle for commutation. Twice
he was within 12 hours of the elec-
tric chair.
The case has much interest in Mc-
Kinney and Collin County, where the
Black family is well-known. His
mother was born in this county, and
his grandfather, the late Prof. W. F.
Mister, taught school in Plano in early
days. The family has many friends
and acquaintances residing throughout
the county.
The youth was represented in his
fight for commutation of his death
sentence by Hons. Wallace Hughston
and George P. Brown, prominent local
, attorneys, who spent much time and
l^flLeffort in his behalf, Mr. Hughston ap-
{'^^^■pearing before the Court of Criminal
, vM^Appeals at Austin and Mr. Brown be-
r fore the State Board of Pardons and

is seen in the commutation of the
sentence by Governor O’Daniel, at the
request of the Pardons and Paroles
I Board, following the appearance of
the McKinney attorneys. Judge T. C.

As the Examiner went to press last
Thursday morning, Collin County of
ficers were looking for Alabama of-
ficers to arrive in McKinney at any
hour to take in charge John McAnal-
ly, who was being held here in the
Collin County jail for them on charge
of murdering a young woman in 1937
in his home town. He had refused to
return to Alabama.
of the Alabama sheriff, with extradi-
tion papers properly signed by the
governors of the two states, he agreed
after a talk with the Alabama officer
he agreed to return at once.
In custody of Deputy Sheriff Car-
roll, McAnnally boarded the first
southbound Interurban for Dallas Fri-
day morning, on the return trip to
Alabama, where he will face the
murder charges. Deputy Carroll and
his prosoner arrived in Huntsville,
Ala., Saturday morning at 3 o’clonk.
Deputy Car roll arrived in McKinney
Thursday morning and was awaiting
extradition papers as McAnnally had
refused to be extradited on his own
free-will.
The Examinei’ is informed that Mc-
Annally’s family, who resided just
east of the city on Highway 24, had
sold their little home, including the
house and one acre, and would return
to Alabama Sunday.
Sheriff Followed Hunch
Deputy Sheriff Carroll told our local
officers that the McAnally arrest re-
sulted from work by the present Madi-
son County, Ala., sheriff, who was
chief of police at Huntsville at the
time of the slaying and had kept in
mind and worked on the case ever
since the disappearance of the victim,
Miss Flossie Putman, 26, on April 30,
1937.
Miss Putman’s body was not found
until Friday, August 11. It had been
buried in a four-and-a-half-foot grave
beneath the house in which the Mc-
Anally lived at that time.
McAnnally’s father and brother are
also held in the Huntsville jail and ac-
cused of qomplecity in the crime.
The Collin County Sheriff's Depart-
ment arrested McAnnally early Satur-
day morning on a telegram from Ala-

FORMER PRINCETON
GIRL KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Jerome H. (Roamy) Sneed, widely-
known in Nashville, was drowned at
Fort Walton, Fla., this afternoon, after
he had saved the life of his little boy.
Sneed left Nashville Saturday to
join his wife and child at a cottage at
Tower Beach in Fort Walton.
Today all were in swimming with
friends. Tom Brooks, owner of the
beach, said that three of the children
got out too far, were caught by the
current, and called foi- help.
Sneed and two others went to their
rescue, Brooks told The Banner by
telephone.
All the boys were saved. A res-
cuer, he said, reached Sneed and took
his child from his arms as he sank.
Sneed had been holding him up and
fighting the current.
The father’s body was in the water
an hour before it was found by a diyer.
Two doctors made every possible ef-
fort to revive him.
Two naval planes joined in the.
search before the body was discovered.
A brother, Tom Sneed, was at the
scene of the tragedy and assisted iu
the rescue work.
Mr. Sneed was connected with the
Federal. Farm Service here, being
head of the feed and loan division of
Davidson County.
He was a native of Nashville and re-
ceived his early education at Central
High. School.
He attended the University of Ten-
nessee, where he was distihguibhdd
as an athlete.

Tuesday, according to the Denison
“I do not wish the dam
named after me as some
have attempted to have it.”
“I would much rather the project
be called the DENISON DAM, or the
Denison-Durant Dam,” the congress-
man said, “because I do NOT BE-
LIEVE that a project the size of this
on© should be N^MED AFTER A
LIVING MAN. I feel greatly honor-
ed at the suggestion, but I also feel
that I would rather not have my name
perpetuated in this manner. I have
received more tributes already in this
life than ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE.”
The statement threw a bomb-shell
into the camp of the small number of
people in this section who had backed
a movement to call the project the
Rayburn Dam. What the project will
be called in the future is still unde-
termined, but it was believed it would
assume one of the names suggested
by the congressman from Bonham.
