HOUSE PASSES TWO BIG RELIEF BILLS;
 RAIL MEASURE LOST
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Feb. Two big relief measures were put through the house in hurry today and third was beaten by a slight margin.
 Called up undeS suspension of rules, a proceeding which required a two thirds vote on passage, the thirteen million dollar soldier hospital bill was passed by a rising vote, and the $100, 000,0o0 road fund appropriation won easily
 The big upset was the defeat of the Winslow bill to permit partial pay ments to railroads under the guaranty section of the transportation act, Backed almost solidly by Republicans. it was killed because two members did not shout answers when their names were called. Democrats lined up almost as a unit against the measure, and criticised Republicans for attempting to rush it through.
 The defeat of the Winslow bill, how ever, was only temporary for after failing to receive the necessary two thirds vote, the house rules committee reported a rule which provides for it's consideration tomorrow
 The vote today was 220 to III, which lineup, if maintained tomorrow will give the measure the majority needed.
 Passage of the bill appropriating funds for the disqualification of dis abled service men was followed by the adoption of similar legislation by the senate The latter went the house one better. however. making total appropriation of $1s.600.000 available through amendments on the sundry civil bill.
 The house hospital bill provides fer erection of five regional hospitals for sick and disabled soldiers, at s2 300, : 900 each. and $500. 900 for conversion into hospitals of buildings at Forts Walla Walla. Wash, and Mckenzie Wyo
 One senate amendment to the sundry civil bill would appropriate SIP, 500. .000 for five new hospitals, and the other would provide ss.10o.000 for the care of disabled veterans through improve ments or new construction of public health service hospitals. The latter are located at Boston. New York, Per ryville, Md, Norfolk. Whipple Bar racks. Arizona; Chicago, Lake City Fla; Atlanta Louisville, Fort Bayard N M; Svansville, Ind; Pittsburg and Forts Mckenzie, Wyoa and waila Walla, Wash.
 The good roads bill would permit ex- penditure of s100.0o0,0 ,0o0 and was of fered as substitute for the McArthur bill which sought to appropriate that sum each year for five years.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Participa- tion by the war department in expert ments to determine the value of air craft against major naval vessels was invited by Secretary Deniels today in letter to Secretary Baker.
 The first test will be conducted within 90 days, MT. Daniels said, with conditions similar to those of battle. The captured German battleship Os- friesland, of 26,500 tons, probably will be used
 Admiral R. F. Coontz, chief of naval operations, previously had told the house naval committee that within three months the navy department would bomb large warship from the air in the open sea in an effort to test the theory advanced by Brigadier General Mitchell of the army air ser vice, that airplares had made capital naval vessels useless.
 Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican floor leader, who preceded Coontz, warned the committee that unless expenditures for military estab- lishments were cut, some larger na- tions would be driven into bankruptcy. He characterized the navy depart ments estimates under Secretary Dan iels as "a notice from peace-loving America of the official announcement of the American administration, ac- septed abroad as a mandate to, if not an expression Of, the will of the Ameri- | can people
 The United States should take the | lead in disarmament. he declared adding.

TARIFF CONGRESS
 VERYFR|ENDLY II NEEDS IF 1 LONG STAPLE GR0WER ERS

Dwight B. Heard returned yesterday from flying trip in the east where in behalf of the organized growers of long staple cotton he attended the Southern Tariff congress at Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 27 to %, and khence proceeded to Washington for a conference with the Arizona congressional delegation and other members of congress relative to securing the insertion. both in the emergency tariff bin and the perma- nent bill, adequate protection for long staple cotton. In speaking of his trip yesterday he said:
 'The Southern Tariff congress held at Atlanta in the heart of the South marks a new front in the economical development of this country and a rec ognition that protection of the products of the farm and factory from now on shall be a national policy and in no- sense sectional policy.
 The attendance of Vice President elect Coolidge added much to the suc- cess of the meeting, and his masterly and logical address on the historic background of the tariff commencing with his advocacy by Thomas Jefferson was listened to by an audience Of nearly 1000 and was the outstanding feature of the congress. The president of the congress, John H. Kirby of Texas. handled the various meetings with great ability and tact and won the good will of all delegates
 The unanimity with which many of the leading men of the South urged that the time had come to bury sec tionalism and make a protective tariff a national and not a sectional or partisan issue was significant of the new South
 John NJ. Parker, governor of Louis jana, a fine type of the progressive far seeing executive. hit straight from the shoulder for a tariff in which the producer, so often neglected, would have a square deal, and the whole trend Iof the meeting was protection for the products of the farm as well as those of the factory.
 s'I was given the opportunity of pre- senting to the congress the needs of the 1 producers of long staple cotton in the Southwest of adequate protection for American Egyptian cotton if this new 1 industry was to be maintained. The delegates from all the southern states showed me the utmost courtesy and evinced a genuine sympathy for the cotton growers of the Southwest. re- sulting finally in the passage unani- mously by the congress of the follow l ing resolution:
 1 Resolution On Long Staple Cotton
 Resolved. that for the purpose of maintaining the production of long staple cotton as an essential Americal agricultural industry, we recommend to congress an import duty upon all staple cottons of a length of one and seven sixteenth inches or greater of a suffi- eient amount to equaliZe the difference | in the cost of production between the | United States and that Of Egypt and other foreign countries.
 Such import duty, we believe, should also take into consideration ~s far as practicable. the present exchange rates. We further recommend that until a

 Secretary Daniels, in making public
 his letter, pointed out that by allied i agreement, the United States was obli- gated to destroy the Osfriesland, and l other former German naval vessels given this country, as soon as experi- ments under way were concluded. He i could not think of a more fitting or useful method of destroying them, he said. than by using them in aviation i bombing experiments. He intimated 1 that the old battleship Iowa, already fitted with radio control apparatus would be used for a similar purpose. (Contiuued on Page Tvol

CANCELLATION OF WAR OBLIGATIONS PROPOSED BY OvE FOREIGN NATION

WASHINGTON, Feb. T.-Declara- ton by Secretary Houston that an allied governments had proposed to the United States cancellation of it's war obligations to this country, a wrangle over status of war loans to Russia and Russia embassy financing, and a decision to divide the investigation as to foreign loans with the foreign re lations committee, marked today's ses- sion of the senate judiciary commit tee. The proposal of Senator Reed, Democrat of Missouri, to prohibit ad- ditional foreign loans was under con- sideration.
 Secretary Houston said that ''one government" had proposed cancella- tions by the United States of loans. He preferred mot to say" what govern ment.
 Most of the session was taken up with discussion of MT. Houston's as- make further loans to foreign govern ments. He contended, however, that 1t would be unfortunate if the United States failed to live up to solemn commitments" and make ad- ditional payments, if requested. in the case of balances, estimated at S75,000,- 900 standing to the credit of allied nations. He added that no such re- quest had been made or indicated how ever.
 Senator Reed said Secretary Hous- tons Assurances as to his plans would net bind his successor, which he said his measure sought.
 The Russian loan came up in testi- mony of N. Kelley, assistant treasury secretary, in charge of foreign loans, who testified that before the fall of the Kerensky government, Russia had received $187, 100000 in war credits. No additional payments, he said. were made until 1920, when Russian embas- sy officials were allowed to draw s200,00 with the understanding that it would be replaced.
 Objection of senators caused an ex- ecutive session at which it was decided to leave international aspects of loan matters to the foreign relations com mittee.
