FARLEY ON SHIP
SINKING SOON
u. S., Canada Also to Settle
Issues On 1924 Anti-Rum
Smuggling Treaty

WASHINGTON, April S.-(P)-
Formal representations on the sink
ing Of the rum-runner I'm Alone
by a patrol boat In the Gulf Of
Mexico have been received by the
Canadian legation for presentation
to the state department. Except for
announcement by the Canadian
prime minister, Mckenzie King,
that the sinking of the vessel. of
Canadian registry, would be the
subject of formal discussions be-
tween the American and Canadian
governments, both Ottawa and the
legation have been reticent regard
ing the note.
Unofficial views Of the matter,
however, are to the effect that the
Canadians are more interested in
the points at issue between the two
governments over the anti-rum
smuggling treaty Of 1924 between
the United States and Great Brit
ain-Which binds Canada as a do
minion of the British common
wealth-than they are owe the
actual sinking.
On two previous occasions when
Canadian vessels were seized by
coast guard vessels for rum-run-
ming, the Canadian government in
formally made known it was not in
sympathy with certain interpreta-
tons placed by the Americans on
points in the 1924 treaty under
which the ships were seized.

MOODY FEARS
LEGISLATORS
Opposition to Governors
Program Looms 2 Weeks
From Session Opening
BY r.. w. BARRY
Associated Press Staff Writer

EASSOtAAtCa AAOSS 0S0AA -
AUSTIN. April 8.-(P-There is
considerable speculation around the
capitol among legislators here as
members of the house appropria-
tons committee and others who
drop in on business as TO what the
special session will accomplish in
addition to passing money bills.
That Gov. Moody has misgivings
as to the attitude of the law
makers toward his program, when
they return two weeks from today,
is indicated by his disposition to
withhold the appropriation bills
until after action has been taken
on his civil service, penitentiary
concentration and other proposals.
The appropriation bills will be
ready for submission Immediately
upon converting of the legislature.
The senate bills have been ready
since early in the regular session,
and the house committee is now
working on its measures. The
senate is inclined to adopt the
board of control budget, while the
house is whiting the boards
recommendations. The differences
probably will neceSsitate a free
conference committee.
The governor is anxious to sub
NIT a civil service bill that will
meet with the approval of the law
makers as well Is a penitentiary
concentration plan. The civil SER
vice bill was defeated by the house
during the regular session and the
penitentiary reorganization mea-
sure was lost in free conference.
Prevalent opinion is the civil
service bill will never pass the sen
ate. even though it should get
through the house. Gov. Moody is
especially anxious to place state
employees under the merit system
and expressed keen disappointment
when the regular session killed his
bill.
Regulation of public utilities and
fixing priority rights Of takers Of
water from the public streams are
two important subjects which are
reasonably certain to be presented.
There seems to be a feeling the
special session will not be in the
mood to do much 1egislating, other
than financing the highway con-
struction program by levying a
gasoline tax and fixing the regula-
ton fees, and providing for the
support Of the judiciary, eleemosy-
nary institutions and departments
of government.

This device is the result of long
kitchen tests by home economists
who have discovered that various
frozen desserts require different
freezing speeds for successful prep
aration. They explain this by draw
ing a parallel between dessert freez-
ing and cooking with heat. A big
roast, they point out, needs a slow,
steady oven temperature, while
biscuits require a quick tempera-
ture. So it is with desserts.
Many are the delicacies that now

The cold control itself consists,
as far as its manipulation is con-
