President Declares Powers of War Finance Corporation
 Should be Broadened
SAYS REMEDY IS SIMPLE
Executive Declares His Plan Would Impose No Addition
 al Taxation Burdens

WASHINGTON, July 26 = Partial response was made immediately by congress today to a special message from President Harding requesting that powers of the war finance cor, poration be broadened to take charas of funding upwards of $500, O,000,0OO oi railroad debts and to provide addi tional farm credits
 The president, in his message, de clared that the government was "mor. ally and legally bound" to fund the railroad debts and was under "an i'm polling moral obligation to provide agricultural credits.
 The first step toward meeting the second of the two requests-provision for additional farm credits--had been taken in the senate before the mes sage was read. Senator Kellogg, Re publican, Minnesota, filed a brief drafted by Secretary Hoover and Di- rector Meyer. of the war finance cor poration, and said to have the approv. al of the president as a substitute for the pending Norris bill to create a $l00,000.000 farm export corporation. The bill embraced the presidents sug- gestions to empower the war finance corporation, instead of a new federal corporation, as provided in the Norris bill, to advance credits for agricul- tural exports.
 "No Added Expense"
 The message dweIt particularly with railroad financing and declared the proposal that the war finance cor poration take charge of funding the railroad debts to the government would cause mo added expense, no added liability. no added tax burden. " The president described the proposal as "a simple remedy" contemplating disposal and receipt by the corpora tion of ample securities" deposited by the railroads.
 The message was sent by the senate to it's interstate commerce commis sion, but Chairman Cummins, in ill health. was out of the city, and when the railroad legislation would be talk en up was in doubt. Leaders. how ever expected action within the next fortnight Several senators stated pri vately that they would fight the legis lation.
 Senator Kellogg said that the bill drafted by Secretary Hoover and Di rector Never had the approval of the treasury department. It would auth orize extensions of credit to producers or their associations. exporters and also to bankers for agricultural ex port purposes. Beside the finance corporations capital of $500 900. .000- revolving fund-it would be author ized to issue sl.000. .000, 900 in bonds.

Government Reports of Epi- demic Are Branded False
 by Southern States

WASHINGTON, July 26. = Quick responses made today to President Harding's call on the public health service and the Red Cross to meet the reported threat of pellagra pidemic, in the cotton belt
 Officials of tse two agencies set to work in an endeavor to carry out the presidents request, and late in the day held conference. Officials of eight southern states made their re- sponses in the form of a protest thai no serious situation exists.
 Surgeon General Cumming and Dr.. Goldberger,> pellagra expert. of the public health service, met in conrer- ence with Dr. Livingstone Farrand. chairman, and other Red Cross off cials.
 The response from the south was va ried The Georgia senate passed a resolution denouncing the report or a pellagara epidemic as "damning;" the secretary of the state board of health declared the disease showed no increase; ithe Macon chamber of com IlClCc piOtCoi tO IhC White House. Florida's state health officer contended his state showed a decrease. The state board of health of Alabama also claimed decrease. The Tennessee board of health re- ported nothing unusual" South Car olina admitted an increase but no semi-famine" and contended there was nothing alarming" Arkansas reported nothing alarming" and Louisiana reported a decrease, Mis- sissippi acknowledged twice as many cases this year as last. but disclafm- ed an epidemic OF 'semi-famine."
 State health officials took issue with the reports of the public health service which has publicly estimated that due to impoverished diet forced on them by depression of the cotton market, at least 100000 persons in tbe southern cotton belt would have pei lagra and that 10 per cent will die. Dr Cumming said tonight. however, that the public health service would stand by it's figures.
 Acting on letter from Senator Dial 1 South Carolina. President Harding wrote Surgeon General Cumming and Dr. Livingstone Farrand, chairman of the central committee of the Red Cross, urging them to take steps to meet the situation,- described to him to be fraught with "semi-famine" and threat of an epidemic of a ravaginR disease.

 Once Japan definitely has prepared to come into the conference here with out self-imposed restrictions and res ervations. it is the belief here that the participating powers can reaea an agreement regarding the program of the sessions.
 The date of meeting. however. is n consideration of some importance which will have to be decided before the formal invitations go out. Ameri. can officials have emphasized that they desire to get the delegates to. gether as soon as practicable, though they have no intention of attempting to dictate what day shall be selected They have suggested armistice day November II.
 Whether that time will be accepta ble generally to the other powers is unknown here, but news reports from abroad have indicated Great Britain in particular might favor delaying the meeting until spring.
