Immigration Commissioner Daniel W. MacCormack said yesterday & greater alien smugglng menace con- fronts the Nation as a result of an im- proved economic condition. The 916 border patrolmen, for whom additional powers of arrest are sought by the bureau, are expected by Col. MacCormack to have a new burden of watchfulness thrust upon them in the future. ‘While the records show that during the fiscal year 1934 only 8 per cent of the quotas entered the country from foreign lands, and in 1835 admissions totaled 11 per cent, efforts at illegal entry have not been abandoned. “The illegal entries are most likely to show an increase,” Col. MacCor- mack said. “There is no possibility for a long time of relaxation in im- migration restrictions. Even with the improved economic conditions, there still are millions here to be re-em- | ployed. There is no chance of a solution to that problem by lending encouragement to immigrants.” \COTTON PRICE PROBE TO BE HELD IN OPEN Chairman Smith to Call Special Committee Session Next Month. By the Assoclated Press. The prolonged investigation by the Senate Agriculture Committee of last March’s sudden decline in the market price of cotton probably will be brought into the open next month. Chairman Smith said yesterday he expected to call the committee into special session some time early in No- vember to consider data obtained by the committee’s investigators, who have been at work since last June. The hearings, which Smith said he hoped could be completed by Thanks- giving, will be public. He said he ex- pected to have ready a report for submission to Congress in January. The investigators have been work- ing more or less in secrecy since Con- gress authorized the inquiry into the March 11 break which sent the mar- ket price of cotton tumbling $10 a bale to a low for the year. Smith declined to comment on what his investigators have uncovered so far. NAVY AIR FLEET RECORD PERFECT IN NAVIGATION Assistant Chief Points to Year'’s Flying Operations, Over 15,000,000 Miles. Alrcraft operating with the naval fleet flew 15,000,000 miles without loss of a single plane through navigational errars during the fiscal year ending July 1, Capt. Frank R. McCrary, as- sistant chief of the Bureau of Aero- nautics, Navy Department, told a radio audience last night. “The most recent improvement in aircraft operations has been the use of instruments in naval aviation, a most important innovation for the reason that the naval aviator, in his sphere of action, is not provided with the excel- lent and constant weather reports available to the pilot flying over the airways,” said the captain. “In so far as perfectior of material and skill of operation are concerned, I can assure you that American naval aviation is equal to that of any avia- tion organization,” Capt. McCrary de- clared. Ancient - Building.

By the Associated Press. Good chances for passage of the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage re- financing bill next session were seen yesterday by Senator Frazier, Re- publican. of North Dakota. The measure, opposed by adminis- tration forces, provides for Govern- ment refinancing of farm mortgages on a long-term basis at lower interest rates. The refunding would be swung with a $3,000,000,000 new money issue, which the administration opposes as inflation. “There is a great demand for this aid,” Frazier said after a trip through the agricultural belts, “because so many of the farmers’ debts got so high they cannot get out from under. They can't refinance them from such in- stitutions as the Farm Land Bank, and there has to be a scaling down and lower rates of interest. his land. So I think the chances are good for action this session.” The North Dakotan predicted a petition to force the bill out of the House Rules Committee for action on the floor wotild be signed up early next session. At one time last ses- alon this petition bore within three or four of the 216 signaturss needed to force the bill out.
