TIE BROKEN.
BY DAWES
VOTE

Under dramatic circnm-
stances, Vice President Dawes
today defeated the Admins
tration 3 resolution to adjourn
Congress at 5 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon.
Although the House adopted the
adjournment resolution by a big
majority the Senate voted 40 to 40
on the question of going home to-
morrow. This gave the Vice Presi.
dent an opportunity to vote.
Dawes Breaks Tie
Rrhe vote is 40 ayes and 40 noes"
said Dawes. THE result being q
tie. the chair casts his vote and the
chair votes no"
There was a wide outburst of APP
plause in the galleries, while Ad-
ministration leaders sat stunned in
their seats. The surprise was all
the greater because the Senate pre-
viously had rejected two amend.
ments to keep Congress in session
first until June s, and then until
June 2.
The action was victory for sup
pOrters Of Boulder Dam legislation,
who, under the leadership Of Sen.
atOr Johnson (R9 Of California.
have demanded that the Senate re.
main i'm session until q vote Is
granted on the Swing johnson bill.
Senator johnson, just prior to
the vote, asked unanimous consent
to have the Boulder Dam bin laid
aside until one minute before 5
o'clock tomorrow.
Then If no vote is taken on the
bill at this session it would be the
Senate's unfinished business" next
December and its enactment at the
winter session. An objection was
raised, but Administration Senators
agreed to help him do this.
The action of the Senate, with
Dawes aid, left Administration lead
ers in a quandary. The Senate first
refused to remain in session until
next Tuesday by vote Of 80 to

effect, proposed by Senator John

The fate Of the missing polar
exploration balloon Italia re-
manned a mystery today. Some
where IN the frozen North the
balloon has either landed or is
drifting through the air.
Hope for the safety Of Gen.
Umberto Mobile. leader OF the ex
petition. and his II COMPANIONS
was based chiefly on a radiogram
which was picked up by San Fran
cisco wireless stations saying that
the Italia had met with disaster.
This message was believed to have
been relayed by Russian wireless
station on the Siberian coast. It
did not give the position OF the
balloon.
The first attempt to search for
the lost explorer proved abortive
when the supply ship citta di
Milano ran into heavy ice and
stormy weather off Amsterdam
Island. on the northern coast OF
Spitzbergen, and was forced to
turn back.
Norway today began a heroic
search for the dirigible. A Nor.
wegian naval plane has left Oslo
to hunt over the frozen wastes.
Norway also is sending a fleet of
small ships to comb the Arctic
seas, but they are expected to face
great trouble on account of ice.
Persons familiar with the Arctic
held out hope that the Italia had
been able to land and that an inn
provised wireless outfit might be
rugged ZIP to give its position to
scarchers.

Bumper crops. usually considered an

fluence. often are "A menac to aRri-
cultural prosperity.
The paradox is explained by econ
omists. With charts they trace the
correlation of production and value.
Big crops. comparative lines show,
are accompanied By DETECTED price
curves. Years of prolific harvest,
that swell the cribs and grain bins
with manifestations Of gain, may
bring the farmer a p%rofusiun Of diff
ficuities. limited and Oppressive Tar
kets. unstable surplus and monetary
losses.
This year there has been a de-
in wheat prices. r. W. Dun
lap. acting secretary Of agriculture,
associates il with favorable condi-
tons for a bumper crop. He warns
that farmers who sell their crop inn
mediately after harvest without re-
gard for the state of the market may
have cause to regret it later. This
happened with cotton in 1928 when
an extremely low price in the
keting season. based upon large pro-

largest crop in history. potatoes har-
vested in the fall likely will be worth

the market, observers say. The pre-
diction is based on the past perform
ance Of price when production was

crop vesrs. the farm value Of pota-
toes skidded 20 extremely low levels.
Shorter crops in 1925 and 1926
brought the value 70 points far bov
the average. This year. With produc-
tion indicated higher than ever and
the price line constantly falling.
