By the Associated Press. Senator Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina, proposed yesterday to call a conference of the country’s cotton market and production experts to “save” America’s export trade in the staple. Smith, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said the loss through swindling exports had amounted to “about $4,000,000,000 during these depression years.” He called “for the opinion of those interested in reclaiming our export trade in cotton as to whether it will be helpful to have a meeting in Wash- ington to discuss the problem of how to reclaim the export business.” All posters entered in the poster EYES EXAMINED EYESTRAIN HEADACHES POSITIVELY RELIEVED Smith suggested no definite date Center.

I modeled him,” said Nakian. “I did it at the request of Gen. Johnson, who had picked him as a comer who would eventually belong among my 12 New Dealers.” Nakian, who has been modeling the New Deal on a basis of plastic appeal for months, is now two-thirds through his task. “There are four more I feel I must do to make my work complefe,” he said. “President Roosevelt, of course: Mrs. Roosevelt, because she has a fine; strong face for the sculptor’s art and really belongs among the historic New Dealers; Postmaster General Farley, whose head appeals to me as one I really would enjoy making, and who is of a contrasting type that would add much interest, and Labor Secre- tary Perkins, whose face expresses a strong perscnality, and who as the first woman cabinet member certainly belongs in the group. Secretary Hull Included. In the present Nakian line-up are: Becretary Hull, called by the sculptor “the ascetic-reserved, austere, noble”; Donald Richberg, “a flowing rhythm of curves”; Secretary Wallace, “sim- ple rugged forms of the man of the soil”; Edward McGrady, “steel cut— vibrating with energy”; Gen. Johnson, “the answer to a sculptor's prayer, rich, rugged forms”; Rexford Guy ‘Tugwell, “archaistic sphinx, with lav- endar-colored eyes”; Secretary Ickes, “St. Peter with his bunch of keys,” and Harry L. Hopkins, relief admin- istrator, of whom Nakian asked: “Look closely—didn't I really catch that holy look on his face?” PHILLIPS ACADEMY GRADUATES DINE Fifty Alumni Honor Dr. Claude M.
