King Cotton: Long
>AY, Ap:
Live the King
An old monarch will re-kscend t^ic
throne tonight. King Cotton, w hoee royal
lineage has lost much of its luatre during
l. the past two decades, will be tie respect
ed and talked of ,ruler in Texas for the
' approaching £4 hour period. ^
’ ' A& M’s annual Cotton Pt.geant and
^ Ball, sponsored and well produced by the
Agronomy Department and S >cipty, has
probably done more for the ok king than
anything since the cotton gir. With all
its apparent pageantry the Agronomy
/ people’s annual show works tvro ways to
restore our state’s leading t gricultural
crop to its old position of prominence. The
money it brings goes into expei -jmentation
and research to improve coti ion strains
and production methods, and it 5 attendant
publicity makes the world mors conscious
of cotton and its many modern uses.
^. There is no denying £hat tlie old King
has fallen into difficult days and is in
need of a little outside aid. Our land,

thfe minimum of cultivation end care it
once did. Over-worked land, erosion, and
other crop competition has roundly tar
nished the glitter of King Cotton’s finery.

Washington, April 28—W—A senate investigation of movie mor
als pegged to the Ingrid Bergman-Roberto Rossellini romance, was
dropped today. | "i-.
The industry was given a chance to do some voluntary rather than
compulsory cleaning up. . |
Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo) conferred with a dozen leaders
of- the industry then announced:
Public hearings scheduled for May 15 have been put off indef
initely. An investigator is being recalled from Hollywood. A bill
to license the industry and its actors and producers will not be pushed.
As chairman of the senate commerce committee, Johnson erupted
after Miss Bergman become the mother of Rossellini’s son while mar
ried to a California physician. He introduced the licensing bill, which
he said would hit immorality” in the movies. That \yas March 14.
Since then, he had backed down a bit on the licensing idea, but
not on the investigation—until today. Then, after meeting with Pres
ident Eric Johnston of the Motion Picture Association and executives
of major sturios, the senator said in a statement:
“They convinced me that my deep convictions respecting the harm
to the American people inyolvcd in the exploitation of the immorality,
of motion picture performers is shared by them.”
