RANDALL AID TO

Washington. March 27.-Democratic
claims that they would re-elect Speaker

Congress meets in special session next
Monday, were corroborated today by
Representative Randall of California

decide the numerical tie between Re-
publicans and Democrats. He said he
was in position to know that enough
independents would vote with the Dem
ocrats to assure that partys control in
the House. If each party's represen-
tatives vote together. four independent
votes would be required to elect a
speaker.
Republican Leader Mann today set
about the task of persuading his Re-
publican colleagues to agree to his with
drawal as a candidate for speaker on
condition that both parties cooperate

Houston Appeals to Farmers
to Conserve for Preparedness

OF FOOD IN MEETING INTERNATIONAL CRISIS

Washington, March 27.-The farmers
of America were appealed to by Sec
rotary Houston today to join in agri-
cultural preparedness measures so that
the country may not be handicapped by
food shortage in it's efforts to meet the
international crisis. Elimination Of
waste, conservl ton of. Surplus and at
tai1ment Of .n.aximum crop returns

reasons" the secretary said in a for:

production and conservation of food.
Under the conditions in which this
country now frGs itself, it is import
ant that everything practicable be
done to increase the efficiency of the
agricultural activities during the com
ing season. It is desirable that
throughout the country farmers con-
fer among themselves on matters eff
fecting the production of needed crops.
and that they consult freely with
county agents. state agricultural col
leges and the department OF agricul-
ture.
The secretary's appeal was part of
the campaign undertaken by the de
partment of agriculture to mobilize the
nations agricultural resources.
Mr. Houston urged particularly that

statement says Every precauton

After discussing certain methods of

clarod it was especially important to

added that q widespread outbreak of

Delays Writing Message

The President has not yet written
the message he will deliver Tuesday or
Wednesday and is said to have reach
ed no final conclusion as to just what
recommendations to make. Because
of possible changes in the situation,
he is not expected to put the address
in final shape until the last moment.
Comprehensive Policy
Therein no doubt in the minds of ad-
ministration officials that whatever may
be its details, the policy laid before Con-
gress will be both vigorous and compre-
hensive The general opinion after the
cabinet meeting apparently was that the
program most likely to be followed by
Congress will include declaration that
state of war exists between the Unit
ed States and Germany, an authorization
