DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Dec 19 (UP)-The house agriculture comittee's hear ings on 8 new farm relief program are one of the sessions big success ses from tho attendance point of view.
 They have attracted so many witnesses and spectators that the committee transferred it's meeting from It's own comparatively small room to the room of the interstate and foreign commerce committed. There the 24 committee members sit at a long, horseshoe shaped and judicial looking bench which runs tho entire length of the long room and bends around its two sides. Tho committees bench is one of the longest in the entire house office building. Rep Adkins, repn., Ill.. a farmer | by profession, Is q prominent figure | in the hearings. Paunchy and full voiced, he leans far back in hts chair, rests his feet on the polished walnut bench, exposes the soles of his shoes to the audience and fires question after question at wit nesses.
 When Q witness opposing the allotment plan to relief said he had no substitute plan of his own to offer. Adkins told him:
 "Well, don't feel badly about 1t. It doesn't make you seem foolish. not to have plan. They didn't have one eight years ago, even though people seem to think there should be one and have turned a. bout 150 of us out because we didn't have any"
 Speaking of the allotment plan, which would require farmers to limit, wheat, cotton. tobacco and hog production. one committeeman wanted to know:
 hog production? The hogs can't control themselves, and they can't read the bill anyway"
 Henry l.. Doherty, utility mag nate, who demonstrated his travel ing palace" automobile to Dr George Otis Smith, chairman of tho federal power commission, en- visions a day of popularity for this means of transportation.
 The "traveling palace" Is . com- bination automobile and trailer and office equipment, sleeping quarters and 0 galley below. Smith denies the existence of 8 swimming pool.
 Doherty claims he can write letters, read or operate q type- writer on his travelling palace as easily as on q train. Secretary usually travels with him.

would also encourage thrift on the part of the empIoye by requiring that to be eligible for dismissal wages he must contribute the same amount to his own termination savings fund as the employer Is contributing to the dismissal and supplementary wage fund. Em- ployers would be permitted to make payments direct to employees and deduct tho amount from cur rent contributions to the state fund. This would lessen the work of the state and simplify the ad. mlnistrative procedure. All such direct payments. however, would be reported to the state for future reference in cases where contro- pIoyes should arise.
 Employe contributions. plus in- tereyt, would be held exciusIvely versies between employers and em- and separately for each employe and after the employer had sent them to the state he would have no further responsibility in con- nection with them.
 The report of the commission will be ready for general distribu- ton immediately after the Christ mas rush.
