thereby making it privileged business

known, but some Republican leaders
have predicted he will veto it.
The pending plan would give inde-
vote on ratification of "a island con-
stitution to be taken q Filipino ac-
Ceptance of freedom. Shipments of
sugar and oil to the United States
would be curtailed during the interim
period, as would immigration.

Then came that unfortunate morning

to return home. The doctors were able
to avoid amputation. but there is little

permit Mrs. H. to return to work, and
it is Just recently that she has begun to
walk with the aid of cane. There are
days when the pain is so intense she is

her handicap the small home is spotless

City Man Asks Farm Relief

By the Associated Press.
From the CITY, not the farm. comes
one of the short sessions most ener-
getic congressional advocates of relief
for agriculture.
He is Hatton w. Summers, Demo-
crat. of Dallas. Tex, and lawyer so
skilled that twice the House has chosen
him to represent it in legal proceedings.
The way he looks at the farm prob
lem is this: "You will have to give
back to the farmers arbitrarily what
you have been taking from them ar
bitrarily.''
Summers who is chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, minceS no words in
saying what he thinks. Last session he
organized an open forum on farm re-
lief, largely made up of House members
who live in cities, and this session it
Is meeting regularly to study ways of
bettering the farmers lot.

Industry during this crisis has been
captained largely by men who have
