SENATE CONSIDERS
 SOFT WOOD TARIFF
Lumber Now on Free List Hit by
 Jones Proposal

Washington, March 20 RHUnder an agreement for limitation of de- bate the senate today took up pro- posal of Senator Jones, republican, Washington, for a tariff of s1.50 q thousand board feet on soft wood lumber, now on the free list.
 Senator Jones had the support of Senator McNary of Oregon. the .ls- sistant republican leader, and other northwestern senators for his amendment which represents a re- duction from the s2 levy proposal defeated several weeks ago.
 The duty would be placed on fir, spruce, pine, hemlock. and larcn lumber, including railroad ties and telegraph and telephone poles.

To Reconsider Proposals

Washington, March 20 P>-Thc senate move on today to the consid- eration of proposals thct duty be imposed upon imported lumber. with the end of the long. acrimonious tariff schedule definitely in sight.
 Upon the disposition of the lum- Der schedule, the tariff debate will enter it's final phase. Individual amendments to all parts of the bill will be in order, and although dozens of these have been prepared, 1t is expected that they will be acted upon in rapid succession.
 There is talk of limiting debate as a means of hastening the final vote. Such a course, however. is considered to have but little pros- pect of approval as the objection of a single senator is sufficient to de- feat it.
New Britain herald., 1930-03-20
Proposals Defeated

OH the free list, were defeated twice last night after one of the most spirited debates that the tariff con- test has produced. It included de- nunciations of the methods of the senate lobby committee, and charges of vote trading.
 Senator Thomas, republican. Okla honla, who was the active leader in the fight for an oil duty, assailed the | committee accusing it of Trading private offices" in it's investigation of tho tariff activities of the indepcnd- ent oil producers.
 Senator Walsh. democrat, Mon tana, a member of the committee, countered with the charge that the senators from Oklahoma and Col 'orado had entered into an agree ment whereby the former would support an increased sugar tariff and the latter the proposed oil levy. This was denied in turn by Thomas, his colleague, Senator Pine, and Phipps of Colorado.
 Criticizes Committee
 Senator Robinson, republican, Indiana, a member of the commit tee, also criticized the committees methods, asserting, too, that it had searched private homes and offices for evidence.
 Another member of the commit tee, Blaine of Wisconsin, an inde- pendent republican. was attacked. Thomas assailed him for making partial reports to the senate on the activities of the committee before all the evidence had been received.
 In this, he referred to Blaine's charges just before the senate's or iginal action, several weeks ago. on the oil schedule, that vote trading agreement had been entered into. Blaine replied that it would have amounted almost to treason" to suppress "this information gained by tho lobby committee on the night the oil vote was taken"
 The first vote on oil last night was 3S to % against the imposition of tariff of one dollar barrel on crude oil and 50 per cent ad valorem on gasoline and by-products By a vote of S2 to 2S the senate shortly afterward turned down a proposal for a duty of 50 cents a barrel and 25 per cent ad valorem respectively, on crude oil and by-products
 In committee of the whole, the senate voted to retain lumber on the free list. Reconsideration of this the north western states actively be- hind an effort to reverse the sen- ate's previous action.

HOOVER STANDS
BY REP. REECE:

President Hoover's public inter
vention in the Republican primary
campaign in the First congres'
sional district of Tennessee created
widespread comment in political
circles here yesterday and brought
open criticism from Senator Nc.
Kellar CD of that State.
In a letter to Representative
Reece, who is opposed for the
G. o. P. nomination by S. w.
Price, the President espoused his
cause and highly recommended
him for his support of legislation
for the private operation Of
Muscle Shoals. Price is for Gov
ernment operation.
Politicians pointed out that until
this time the President had de-
clined to take sides in the pri-
maries and stated that ne would
not do so.

TOsTAY
. IN c. 0.P. POST
FOR WEEKS
Will Turn Executive Job Over
to Lucas Aug. 7, but Remains
As Chairman Indefinitely

Claudius H. Huston, by q
peculiar set Of circumstances,
will continue as chairman Of the
Republican national committee
for several weeks, and possibly
months, after August z, the date
he fixed for submitting his resig-
nation, 1t developed today.
The executive committee Is to
meet August on Huston's call.
and he will resign as chairman
Of that committee. The executive
committee is empowered to elect
a successor as its chairman. but
can neither accept Hustof1's resig-
nation as national chairman nor
fill that vacancy.
The next move after Huston sur
renders the smaller job will be to
send out a call for q meeting Of
the full national committee to ac-
cept Huston's final resignation and
elect q successor. Several weeks
must elapse before the national
committeeman can be called to
gether, and date probably will
be selected far enough ahead to
give them time to reach national
headquarters here, where the
meeting will be held.
The program as now being
worked out by party leaders is to
elect Robert II. Lucas, Commis-
Sioner of Internal Revenue, as
chairman of the executive COM
mittee. Although technically Hus-
ton will remain in office until the
full committee elects his successor.
Lucas will be the actual directing
head Of the party organization,
under President Hoover.
Senator FeSs (RO of Ohio, it
was said, will not enter the pic
ture until after the full commit
tee meets.
Fess Term to Be~ShOrt
There was some suggestion to-
day that FeSS because Of his age
probably would step down before
the next presidential campaign,
and either Lucas would be elected
to succeed him, or possibly Post.
master General Brown would take
the reins. In any event. Lucas
will remain as chairman Of the
executive committee, according
to the Presidents plans.
When DR.. Hubert Work re-
signed as chairman, he issued a
call Of the full committee to &C
cept his resignation and elect his
successor. This was last Septem.
ber.
Subsequent to that, the full
committee authorized the execu-
tive committee. to fill the vacancy
among the committeeman, par
ticularly in GeorF' =, and to take
action in other matters, but no
authority was ever given for the
executive committee to elect a
national chairman.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, July
29.-A huge forest fire is raging
today within two miles Of
Criglersville, President Hoover's
Madison county fishing camp,
according to reports reaching
here.
Another fire is sweeping over
. large part Of the 1,O00-acre
Goodwin. Nelson mine tract near
Brokenburg in Spotsylvania
county. Although 100 workers
have been battling the flames
since yesterday little headway
has been made. The entire sec
ton may be devastated unless
there is a heavy rainfall soon.
The blaze was discovered soon
after its outbreak but volunteers
were powerless to check the spread
because of the parched condition
of vegetation.
One hundred acres of valuable
timberland in the Rock Hill dis
trict were burned several days
ago. On the following day
brush fire on Colonial Heights
left it's bounds and endangered
number of homes. The Broken
burg fire is the most serious in
recent years.

RAIN HELPS Va.
FARMERS

HARRISONBURG, Va, July 30
Some relief from the drought
which has been threatening farm
ers of this section with bank
ruptcy was received yesterday
with the fall of scattered thun-
der showers in the southeastern
part of Rockingham county and
adjacent parts of Augusta county
The showers were accompanied
by strong wind which wrought
havoc over a small area between
Harrisonburg and Mt. Crawford.
The wind uprooted trees, flat
tened cornfields and did other
damage.
A precipitation of 90 inch, the
heaviest fall in weeks, was re-
ported.
So bad has the drought become
through the Shenandoah Valley
that farmers are selling their
cattle for lack of food for the
animals. Farmers of the section
say that the corn crop has been
ruined.
Forest fires over large areas are
threatening many small towns and
homes in the foothills of the
mountains near here, and only a
prolonged rain will make it posi-
BILE to bring the blazes under con-
troll, due to the extremely dry con-
| dition of the forest.
h While the rain which fell yester.
day did little lasting good, it is
hoped that it marks the breaking
of the drought.
