C|T|ESCHECK|NG
JAY WALKERS

Results of a survey in 81 prin-
cipal cities Of the country to de-
termine how pedestrian control
operates, were made public by Major
Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of
police, today. and show that in II
cities the plan has proven highly
successful.
In eleven of the cities which re-
sponded to Major Pratt's inquiry
the regulation is enforced by arrest
ing vlolators.
Very few arrests were reported
by the cities in which pedestrian
control is observed. The various
police departments state that the
regulation is enforced by educa-
tional methods. Only in the cases
where the pedestrian becomes hard
boiled are arrests made.
Pratt said that he does not con.
template seeking any new rcgula-
ton for pedestrian control. but be-
lieves that the present educational
plan will prove effective.

With a stiff battle brewing
In the Senate over elimination
OF the debenture from the new
farm relief bill, Administra-
ton leaders face several days.
delay in their program for an
all-summer recess of Congress.
The conference report on the
farm bill, which the House already
has approved, was before the Senate
today, but it probably will be de-
bated until next Tuesday before a
decision is reached on the debenture.
In the face Of rising prices on the
Chicago produce market, the Demo-
cratic minority declared it would
continue to- battle for incorporation
of the export debenture plan in the
farm bill.
A handful of insJrgent Republi-
cans will join with them. forming
the same combination which origin
ally wrote the debenture into the
bill.
Will Be Abandoned
Administration leaders, however,
announced there would be a suffi-
Client change of sentiment to re-
verse the Senate's first verdict and
that the debenturc would be aban-
doned. They likewise declared
prompt enactment of the bill, minus
the debenture, but containing a
$500, 100000 revolving relief fund
and vast governmental machinery
for aiding in the marketing of
crops, would stabilize the whole
agricultural situation. They pointed
to the strength of the Chicago
grain market now as indicating the
benefits of the proposed legislation.
The program for recessing Con-
gress from next Tuesday until
September will undergo a slight
delay. Both sides indicated vote
probably will be reached in the
Senate on the debenture Tuesday
If this is obtained. the recess prob
ably will start next Friday.
Program Goes On
Aside from farm relief, the Ad-
ministration's program rolled along
smoothly. The new census and, re-
apportionment bill has been passed
by both House and Senate, and
only a few minor differences must
be ironed out in conference.
The new tariff bill has been en-
acted by the House and the Senate
Finance Committee has arranged for
public hearings to start next
Wednesday. The committee will not
have the bill ready for the Senate be-
fore August.
The Presidents recommendation
for repeal of the national origins i'm
migration act, which goes into effect
July l, faced hard shedding. Senate
sentiment, which once was opposed
to the repeal, has changed until the
result is in doubt, If a vote can be

mined that vote shall not be taken
and may succeed in filibustering the
proposed repeal to death.
