PLAN IS ASSA|LED
0'Connor Tells Senate Pro-
posaI Is Technically Open
to Criticism"
By the Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Although favoring the construction Of
high-speed American express liners 10
compete with foreign passenger vessels
in the North Atlantic service, the United
States Shipping Board has condemned
the transoceanic corporations recent
proposal for the construction of four
day liners, as technically open to crit
icism, economically unsound and finan-
cially nebulous"
This condemnation Is embodied in a
report submitted to the Senate by r.
v. OConnor, chairman OF the board, IN
response to resolution introduced by
Senator Bingham of Connecticut.
The plan of the transoceanic COR
poration, which was submitted to the
Shipping Board by Lawrence r. Wilder
of the American Brown Boveri Electric
Corporation, contemplated the construc-
ton Of six passenger vessels 10 be op-
Grated under the American flag in the
North Atlantic, Sailings to be made from
each side three times a week
At present the Shipping Board re-
port says, "All the express transatlantic
liners, with the exception Of the LeYia-
than, are under foreign flags" BY
Wilder's plan, the time for the trans
atlantic crossing would be reduced to
four days by the use Of airplanes in
conjunction with the proposed vessels,
the decks Of which were to be specially
adapted.

CONFEREES START
FLOODS STUDY SOON
Senate Managers Feel Final
Bill Will Win O. K. of
President.
BY the Assnciatnd Press

BY the Associated Press.
Appointment of House conferees re-
NAMED the only task to be completed
today before the beginning of confer
ences looking to an agreement on flood
control legislation dovetailing with the
views of President Coolidge.
While the latest White House stand,
disclosed yesterday, showed the Execu-
tive as having found fault in IL in
stances with the 25,000,000 Senate
bill amended by the House. several Sem
ate conference managers expressed the
opinion that the measure as finally
framed would meet with presidential
approval.
The bill which the conferees expect
to send to Mr.. Coolidge next week, and
which was sent to conference yesterday,
will, 1t Is predicted, be in practically
the same form as 1t passed the House,
but leaders see only few obstacles to
overcome to win White House sanction.
Two Are Important.
They point out that of the IL objec-
tions prepared by Army engineers and
transmitted by the President to the
Capitol yesterday only six are in con-
troversy between the two houses and
that only Two of these are important.
by the Senate conferees in an informal
conference after receipt Of the presi-
dental memorandum, while the other
was turned down for the time being.
1he' President, anxious that a reason
able flood control act be approved at
this session, feels that the House bill,
while an improvement In administra-
tive respects over the Senate measure,
,,t.akSx kz~ fsFHn Nrfn
He believes this measure ultimately
would cost the Government 81, $780,
100000 for work which, he has been
informed. should not cost more than
$500. .000. 900. He feels his stand also
has been strengthened by the fact that
he has seen no objections to 1t raised
among actual residents of the Mis-
sissippi flood area, but that these only
have come from those who own property
in the food zones but reside outside of
them.
Approve Amendment.
Most of the Senate conferees are said
to be prepared TO accept the House
amendment providing that the Federal
Government pay for flowage rights the
money which will go to landowners
whose property would be cut up for
diverting the main channel of the
Mississippi.
The administration objects to this
amendment because 1t involves. besides
the purchase of easement rights from
the property holders, the construction
Of levees and revetments to stem the
floods in the Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana lowlands.
One of the changes proposed by the
administration and tentatively accepted
by the Senate conferees relates to the
appropriation of $l0,000,000 for work
already authorized and not called for
In the new project.

power to appropriate funds from half
dozen or more other House commit
tees aroused some jealousy over the
authority placed in the appropriations
committees hands and only dominant
| leaders grit could have held for 1t the
| prestige 1t received by law.
! Another big Job was to keep the
! total of the appropriation for the
whole Government machinery-amount-

| 00o--to the lowest minimum. For
weeks each Fall before Congress con-
vened, he and his committee were back
at the Capitol, going over proposed eX-
penditureS and doing their best to chip
off here and there any item that could
be passed up.
| But, in contrast to the economy of
his nature. the Illinois member was lib
eral when liberality was actually needed.
Last Summer he virtually violated the
laws of the Nation to obtain funds, dur

area.

ing cold facts that could be proven and
the members knew that, in addition, he
was fair Time and again the veteran
legislator held out against the pleadings
of his closest personal friends for ap-
pyopriations and at other times, he even
bluntly refused TO approve money for
public works in his home city-Chicago

merits of the work
Frequently the 73-year-old chairman
was called TO the White House for con-
ferences with President Coolidge and in
the recent fight in the House over Mis-
sissippi flood control legislation he took
an active part in the attempt Of House
leaders to get support of the Senate
flood bin TO accept revisions desired by
the President.
Representative Wood of Indiana is
expected TO succeed Mr.. Madden as
chairman. While Representative Anthony
OF Kansas is the next Republican in the

PROGRAM ENLARGED FOR
CREAMERY OPERATORS

Men of national standing in the
butter making industry will help the
dairy division staff of the University
of Minnesota to present the work of
the short course for advanced cream
cry operators to be held at University
Farm, ST. Paul, February % to Mar.
3. Applications for admission to this
course should be made now to w. B.
Combs, dairy products specialist, who
will be in charge.
The course has been .reorganized
and will have some new features, says
Professor Combs. More butter and
starter judging and cream grading
will be done than ever before. To
meet a demand, information and
training in the manufacture of sweet
curd or cottage cheese will be given,
and it is planned to devote some time
to the manufacture of ice cream and
to questions pertaining to the handl-
ing of market milk.
An effort will be made during the
course to formulate system OF
cream grading which will be accept
able to creamerymen of the state.
Cream grading practice will be CIV
en- under the direction of experienced
men. 1t is expected that as a result
distinct progress will be made in a
movement to define the grades more
definitely and uniformly. The manu-
facture of powdered buttermilk will
also be given attention.
The detailed program for the
course, the class room and laboratory
features of which will be varied by
judging contests and the celebration
of Visitors Day, will soon be made
public. Announcement of the per-
sonnet of the group of instructors
from the outside will increase the in
terest in the program for the advanc-
ed course.

sc, 900 FARMERS WITNESS
HITCHING DEMONSTRATION

Agricultural colleges of Ii states,
COOPERATING with the Horse AssO-
citation of America, put on 345 big
team hitch demonstrations in 1927
attended by 58,943 persons. Iowa led
with 116 demonstrations and an at
tendance of 25,104. Minnesota was
second in the number of demonstra-
tons, and Michigan second in the
number of persons attending. Seven
ty-three meetings in GA Minnesota
counties reported an aggregate at
tendance of 6,143. Fourteen Demon
strations attended by 1000 were held
in Canada, making a grand total for
the year of 359 meetings having an
attendance of almost $4,000 farmers.
Hitch demonstrations teach farm
ers, by using their teams in large
units, to get more work done in a
day at relatively less expense. Pro-
duction costs are thus reduced. AZ
tual demonstrations in the field are
necessary before the farmer can make
up the bitches and apply the tying
in" and ''bucking- back" system. Many
hundreds of 8, 10, and 12-horse teams
have gone into use on plows, disks,
and harrows as a result of this field
work given by the college stations
and the association.
October 30 last L. S. Mcdonald of
Langdom, N. D., wrote the following
letter to Wayne Dinsmore of Chicago,
secretary of the association: 1--WE
have plowed more than 400 acres with
the 1S-horse hitch and S-bottom pillow,
and it has been a success right from
the start. People from far and near
have come to see the outfit. We av-
erage a trifle more than 20 acres per
day, although some days we have
plowed as much as "a acres. This
gives us at least 10 acres per day per
man, for there are two of us on the
pillow. However, with only 14-year-
old boy to help me l made as good
time as with man"
