DEBTOR RELIEF
AIM Of HOUSE

Relief Of persons groaning un.
der debts today became the ma
jor goal Of the House for the
remainder Of the lame duck"
session.
Direct aid to debt-ridden farm
erS through the Federal Land
Banks and the sweeping revision
of the bankruptcy laws proposed
by the Judiciary Committee
formed the nucleus Of the legis-
lative plan.
House leaders remained cold
to initiation legislation before the
new Congress takes power, <al-
though hackers of currency ex-
panSion' prepared to continue
their drive until March 4.
The Banking Committee opened
hearings on a bill Of Chairman
Steagan CD Of Alabama, directly
aiding farmers.
The measure authorizes Federal
Land Banks to extend delinquent
payments for the entire life Of
a farm mortgage, if necessary. to
give the farmer a chance to pay
out. This proposal is far more
drastic than the limited authority
to extend payments given the
land banks last year.
Loans Of $3.50 900 900 to $780,
OOO, 900 from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to the Land
Banks and the Joint Stock Land
Banks to aid them in carrying"
farmers along until better times

the Japanese delegation de-

whether the japanese terms would
be accepted.
Should the committee refuse, 1t
was learned, the Japanese would
construe this as giving them
grounds for graceful withdrawal
from the league.
The japanese took this view
owing to the fact that the Jap

earlier by Secretary General Sir

negotiations with MatSuoka.
Should the committee accept,
however, the resolution will be-

A week ago Senator WalSh'S

THOMAS VOICES
THREAT Of NEW
F|[|BUSTER
Leaders See Passage of Bank
Measure BY Wednesday;
Few Senators at Session

The fate Of the Glass banking
reform bill was clouded with
fresh uncertainty today Is
Senator Thomas Cd Of. Okla
homa threatened q new filibusteE
to prevent its enactment.
Thomas voiced this threat after
declaring the bill was Ubiquitous
and should never be passed" he
assailed it as a measure designed
to put q few big bankers In con.
troll of the Nations credit
resources.
Senator Huey p. Long, the
Louisiana 'kingfish," who aban.
doned a filibuster after the
Senate refused to gag him, de-
clared he had nothing to do with
Thomas filibuster.
Long Seeks Passage
Long professed to be d,voting
all his time to getting the bill
enacted, with amendments limit
ing branch banking by national
banks to States which grant q
like privilege to State banks. He
s9id:
'T'm not for this bill rs It
is now. I'm supporting . num-
ber Of amendments"
He was asked:
'How soon will the bill pass
the Senator" :
He replied:
II don't know. ''HOw should
/ know? I'm out Of the picture
now. I'm not one Of the
leaders. Why, / haven't said o
word for three straight days.
Now get this: I'm out Of the
picture"
Asked why he interrupted de-
bate yesterday six times to call
quorums, Huey replied:
81 did that as an act Of
courtesy to SenatOr5 who
weren't here to listen to the
debate. They all ought to listen
to debate on . bill as important
IS this one"
Senator watson, Republican
floor leader and Senator Robin
son, Democratic floor leader, both
declared the bill would pass the
Senate by next Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Change Of Sentiment
Neither saw any danger Of
greater delay, even in Thomas
threatened new filibuster. They
declared ! the agreement reached
the other day to limit debate was
'entered In good faith" and would
result in an early vote.
There was q distinct change Of
sentiment in the Senate regard
ing the bill since Presidentelect
Roosevelt visited washington.
Prior to his visit, its advocates
threatened all manner Of dire pun
ishment to Long for holding up
it's enactment.
Since Roosevelt conferred with
Long and other opponents Of the
bill, this steam" has dissolved.
Only a few Senators listened to

trouble several times in securing
a quorum to conduct business.
Glass Disappointed
Huey'S friends declared there
never was any real desire in the
Senate to pass the bill. They as
serted all the fireworks" in the
last 10 days were directed solely
for the purpose Of Furnishing Huey
and putting him in his place"
because he had the temerity to
assume a legislative leadership in
his first year as a Senator.
Senator Carter Glass CD Of
Virginia, father of the bill, was
angered by the developments. He
declared the agreement limiting
debate was worthless, because op-
ponentS could sponsor hundreds of
amendments to prolong debate
and block q final vote.

first school in Boston in 1913 when
the elementary Three RS were
taught at public expense to the
modern systems which the youth
of the land enjoys today, Erwin S.
Black, superintendent of the Ken

changes from the first elementary
grades to the Sd system-eight
elementary grades and a high
school course, a preparatory one
for colleges. Recently the 6-3-3
plan has been widely adopted. This
gives the six elementary grades
with a three year period bridging
the gap between the grades and
high school, which has also been
cut down a year. In the higher in
stitutions the four year term has
been extended to eight years on
some specialized subjects such as
medicine and law.
