2 PLANTS MAY REMAIN CLOSED
 IN s. E. ALASKA
Most of Salmon Canneries
 in This District May Not Be Operated

Twenty-two out of 35 salmon canneries in Southeast Alaska may not operate during the coming sea- son, according to authentic reports received here this week. Low prices of salmon and the big 1880 carry over are given as the reasons for the contemplated shutdown of a large number of. plants.
 It is reliably reported that the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation, the biggest Southeast Alaska com pany, will operate only three of it's canneries-one at Ketchikan, the second at Rake and the third at Port Althorp. Its biggest plant at Funter Bay-will remain closed, it is said.
 No information was available on the other plants which are not expected to operate Most of them are reported to be located in the southern end of the district.
 No information has been given out on prices that will be paid to seiners and independent trapman for fish this year. It is understood that few of the canneries will use many seine boats and most of the fish probably will be obtained by the canners in their own traps.

 TO HOLD OFFICE
Controversy Over Federal Power Com. Chairman
 Goes to Court

WASHINGTON, D, C., Feb. G. United States District Attorney Rover has consented to test in the courts the right of Federal Power Commissioner Chairman c cor g e Otis Smith to hold office after the Senate reconsidered the confirma- ton and nomination.
 The Senate, last December, con- firmed the nomination of five mem- bers of the Power Commission Last month the Senate demanded that President Hoover resubmit the names as a fight had arisen on Smith, Marcel Garsaud and Claud L. Draper. Despite legal opinions the Senate again voted on con- firmation. Garsaud and Draper were reconfirmed but Smith was not.
 The issue involved is unpreced- ented in American history. Attor- ney General Mitchell gave his op- inion the Senate is not authorized to recall nomination for recon sideration after having confirmed and sent the nomination to the President.

NEEDY FARMERS
 500 N WILL GET
 FEDERAL LOANS
Application Blanks Have Been Mailed Agri-
 cultural Agents
By FRANK I. WELLER GA. P. Farm Editor)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Appli- cation blanks for loans from the S45,000,000 federal feed, seed and fertilizer fund have been forward ed to county agricultural agents in he 1880 drought and storm area They are to be issued only to those farmers who suffered material dam- age and who have no other source 5f credit.
 Each applicant will sign a note for the loan he desires, and at the ;ame time, in most states, give a mortgage on his 1881 crop to se- cure it's repayment.
 Need De-. rmines Amount
 The extent to which the appli- can't incurred damage from drought or storms during the last season will be the principal basis on which his eligibility for a loan will be de- termined.
 He will agree to use the loan for he purchase of seed, fertilizer, feed for work stock and fuel and oil for tractors. No provision is made for the use of loans to purchase human foods.
 When the applicant has complet- ed his application, note and mort gage, the papers will be turned over to the county advisory con- mi5tee, consisting of a leading banker and two prominent farmers who serve without pay.
 They will determine whether the applicant has the necessary power and machinery to produce the crops he proposes to plant, what his repu- tation is as farmer, and wheth- CT he can be expected to use his best efforts to produce crop and repay the loan.
 They then will make a definite recommendation to the department of agriculture field office which disburses the loans.
 Check on Use of Money
 The field office will examine the papers promptly and determine the amount of the loan. This will be based on needs of the individual for seed and fertilizer for the acre. age and crops he proposes to plant, and for feed for work stock neces- sary to produce crops. Loans may be approved for an amount less than that requested by the ap- plicant.
 When a loan is approved, check will be drawn to the borrower in the amount of the first installment of the loan. Before a second in- stallment is paid, the borrower will be asked to show how he has ex- pended the first. No loan will be made to a farmer to increase his major crop acreages.

HypnOtism Fails As Aid to

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 6.-Popu lar belief that hypnotism helps a person to remember what has been forgotten, fails to stand test.
 It all depends upon who is hyp- notized. Some persons recall more when in a trance than when awake, others remember less, and the average memory is about equal
 The tests show hypnotism is un- likely to prove an open sesame to recalling lost past. They were made at the University of Wiscon- sin under direction of Miss Betty Huse, a research student, and are now published for the first time.

HOUSE RULES TOPIC
OF RADIO ADDRESS
Representative Crisp to Talk
in National Forum Tomor-
row Evening.

Revolt against the existing rules of
the House, which, it is charged, give
too great power to the Committee on
Rul;s and permit the strangling of legis-
lation approved by a majority of the
House, has brought demand for revi-
Representative Charles r. Crisp of
Georgia, leader in the fight to amend
the rules, will discuss the House rules
and the need for revision in the Ma
tional Radio Forum. arranged by The
Washington Star and broadcast over
the coast-to-coaS network of the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System, at $3.50
O'Clock tomorrow evening.
Mr.. Crisp has been a member of the
House for Is years. Prior to his election
to that body he served as parliament
tartan while the late Speaker Champ
Clark was the presiding officer of the
House. He is the son of the late Speaker
Charles F. Crisp. No other member
of the House is better qualified to deal
with the problem of the House rules.
In body composed of ABS members,
a certain rigidity of rule is held neces-
Sary If business is to be carried forward
to conclusion. However, there have been
frequent attempts to liberalize the grip
of the Speaker on the procedure in the
House when "Uncle Joe" Cannon was
Speaker and was called the Gear"
The rules were amended. In large
part the control of the situation was
taken from the Speaker and handed to
the Rules Committee. The complaint
today is that the Rules Committee is too
autocratic.
