HOOVER TO RECEIVE
FARM BILL TODAY
Subcommittee Named to Pre-
sent Draft to President
for Study.
Br the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover will receive from the
House agriculture committee late today
q COPY of the farm relief measure which
that body has just drafted for submis-
sion to the House soon after the begin
ming Of the special session next Monday
A subcommittee was appointed by the
entire committee to present the draft
to the Chief Executive so that he might
study 1t and make any suggestions that
might occur to him. Mr.. Hoover will
deal somewhat extensively with the farm
relief problem in the FIRST message to
Congress, which will be transmitted
separately to the House and Senate
Tuesday.
Many House members are coming to
look upon the enactment of q general
farm relief bill as only the first step
toward the formulation of an agricul-
tural program which would deal with
the multitude Of problems that besiege
the farmer.
Several members of the agriculture
committee take the view that when it
1t should turn to a study of various
other legislative proposals before it.
Among those that probably will be re-
called to the attention Of the committee
Is the Summers bill to provide for the
licensing Of persons dealing in perish
able commodities.
Wood Lots Measure.
new measure probably will be
brought before the committee to pro-
mote the conversion of low-grade farm
lands into wood lots. Representative
Fort. Republican, of New Jersey. is
considering such a proposal.
The details Of the Fort proposal still
are to be worked out, but 1t probably
would seek to induce farmers by the
payment of a small amount for each
acre taken out of cultivation to convert
their poor farm lands into forested lots.
This is the same general principle that
was followed in legislation enacted dur
ing the last Congress to cope with the
pink bollWorm in Texas cotton lands.
Fort believes that such a measure
would aid in reducing the surplus OF
certain farm crops by curtailing the
acreage under production. In addition
it would give the farmer wood lots to
produce his fuel and meet his needs
for timber.
This proposal would differ widely
from the general reforestation plan that
is being followed. Under 1t, lands along
the watersheds of the Great Lakes and
various other streams are being pur-
chased by the Federal Government ana
reforested.
A Senate agriculture subcommittee
requested President Hoover yesterday TO
express himself on the export deoenture
plan of the National Grange as part
of the new farm relief bill. but the

House Chaplain Upholds
Prosecutors Stand on

The recent stand taken by Assistant
u. s. Attorney r. F. Camalier pertain

Dr. Montgomery. who also. is pastor

Camaner, DR.. Montgomery said: L

what you have said as very timely and
needful.
The hour has come when it is abb

the preacher to do the work for which
they have been set apart. 1t is peculiar

AERIAL TELEWS|ON

Plane Views Would Be Sent
to Ground Receiving Sta
ton by Apparatus.

An aerial television eye" designed
to transmit airplane views OF cities or
countryside to q ground receiving sta
tion, is being constructed by C. Francis
Jenkins of this city, noted television in
ventor.
The apparatus, sensational develop
ment of the Jenkins process of broad
casting visual scenes by radio, is to be
tested for the first time shortly in a
special plane ordered by the inventor
from the Curtiss factory The plane is
to be delivered within few days.
The experiment undoubtedly will be
watched with keen interest by Army and
Navy oficials, as the device concededly
would have great military value in time
of war. With the aid of the apparatus,
general headquarters of an army would
be put within sight range Of actual
operations at the front.
Refines Visual Detail.
The apparatus will be of special type,
built 10 insure refinement of visual
detail" Mr.. Jenkins said. The pano-
rama below will be recorded in the usual
way, by means of a scanning disc, -
light-sensitive cell and broadcasting
paraphernalia The scenes will be re-
ceived on regular television machines
set up in the jenkins laboratory.
The jenkins laboratory at present is
at 1919 Connecticut avenue, but a new
laboratory and television broadcasting
station now is under construction in
AGAYr a.
Formal tests may be deferred until the
new station is completed.
Mr. Jenkins was reluctant to discuss
his plans in detail in advance Of the
tests as he said something might go
wrong and spoil the first tests" He de-
clared, however. that he had "a lot OF
confidence in the outcome" Prelimi-
nary experiments. Stimulating airplane
conditions have been conducted success
fully. he stated.
In order to assume personal charge of
the operations in the air the inventor
has been taking pilot lessons at an air
field near Rockville preparatory to Sc
curing a Federal pilots license. MIR.
Jenkins is an experienced flyer and
piloted a seaplane of his own prior TO
enactment of regulations governing pri-
vate flying He was not familiar with
land planes until recently. however.
Plane a Laboratory.
The plane which Mr. Jenkins has or
dered is termed by him flying labor
Atory." It Is Curtiss Robin plane Of
the cabin type, with special Challen-
ger engine. A complete television
hroadcasting outfit will be installed in
the cabin. The scanning eye will
focus on the ground through an aper-
ture in the bottom of the plane. Mr..
jenkins will pilot the plane while two
assistants operate the television ma

When the Republican committee on

his work will be more closely related to

Now that Capt. Burlingame has re-
signed, Mr.. Gibson sees no public serv-
ice to be achieved through reviewing

port. He said today that muddy

been so far cleared as to make his re-
port considerably easier to write and
less voluminouS than had been antici-
pated.
As it is the present plan of the House
leaders to appoint in the incoming ex-
ira session only the four House COM
mittees required for the consideration
Of farm relief and tariff legislation, the
House District committee probably will
not be organized during the incoming

Mr.. Gibson, however, intends to call
conferences with the new police oficials
and others with a view to compiling a

which viii bring about desirable changes
for the public welfare ana for benefit
to the police system.
