weather forecasts based on foot

Chemical Society for 1881. The
medal, awarded for outstanding
achievement in colloid chemis-

Wilson here on March 13.
In 1925 DR.. Wilson began a

insurgents Demand Money for
Hungry Citizens; May Force
Extra Session of Congress

The Hoover Administration and
the Senate were locked in q new
controversy today as the Demo
cratic-insurgent coalition sought
enactment of a $25, 900, 900 appro-
priation to be used by the Afneri-
can Red Cross in buying food
for hungry citizens.
This plan was substituted for
the abandoned $15,OOO,O0O food
loan provision, which Mr.. Hoover
opposed. 1t ran directly con-
trary to the Presidents objection
to any direct appropriations for
relief Of unemployed, or drought
sufferers.
/ Extra Session Hinted
The Democratic -insurgent coali-
ton served notice it would write
the Red Cross fund into the
Agricultural Department appr0-
priation bill and hold it there,
even If the, bill were killed. This
constituted q threat Of forcing
q special session of the new Con
gress, since the agricultural ap-
preparation bill must be enacted
before March 4 or that depart
ment viii have to close after
July /.
The second administration re-
lief measure, appropriating a
$45, 900 900 fund for feed, seed,
fertilizer and gasoline loans to
drought-stricken farmers, will be
sent to the House during the
day. The first Administration
bill was the $118,o0O,0O0 public
works measure.
