SENATE BODY D. KS
j. s. CREDIT PLAN
Approves Principle of Hull Bill
to Stall Off Farm Fore
closures.
BY the Associated Press.


The principle of the Hull bill de-
signed to use $500, 100000 of Federal
credit to stall eff farm mortgage fore
closures for two years was approved by
members of Senate Banking Sub
committee today. although several de-
tails remained to be worked out.
After working on the problem all
morning, the subcommittee agreed to
meet again this afternoon to perfect the
bill sponsored by Senator Hull Demo-
crat. of Tennessee. "'-
Senator Stiawer, Republican, of
Oregon, said Paul Bestor, Federal Farm
Loan commissioner. had been asked to
submit at that time amendments in
tended to permit joint stock and Fed
eral land banks to postpone foreclosures
in accordance with the plan and still
protect the interests of their bcndhold-
erS.
Under the Hull bill the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation could lend
$500, 0,000, 900 to farm mortgage holders
to pay delinquent taxes, interest and
instruments in return for their agree
ment not to foreclose for two years.
Stiewer explained that this plan ap-
plies mot readily to individuals who
hold mortgages, but presents complica-

A conviction that the Smith bill de-
signed to reduce cotton production by
$500, 900 bales will be reported favorably
by the Senate Agricultural Committee
on Saturday was expressed today by
Chairman McNary and other attendants
at session of the committee. 10
Prompt committee action on the pro-
posal involving big Government cotton
pool was urged by Senators George
democrat of Georgia., Connally
Democrat. of Texas. and Smith
Democrat, of South Carolina), whose
name the measure bears.
Smith also expects the committee to
approve the measure at the next meet
ing.
Consideration of the cotton measure
prevented the committee today from
getting far in its effort to rewrite the
domestic allotment bill passed by the
House and designed to raise the price
of seven farm ommodities-including
cotton-by taxing the professor and
paying the proceeds to participating
producers who would cut production.
This bill also will be taken UP on
Saturday, at which time McNary said 1t
Is hoped to determine what commodities
shall be included in it. One suggestion
is that it be confined to cotton and
wheat
McNary hopes for report early next
week
Explanation of the Smith cotton plan
was given the committee by Southern
Senators
1t provides for pooling the 3,500,O0O
bales controlled by the Government
and allocating this to producers who
would cut production by 30 per cent.
The producer then theoretically would
profit at the end of the crop year to
the extent of the difference between
the present price and the price then
of the cotton allocated to him.
All participants In the plan would be
required to cut their production at least
80 per cent below the previous year and
would participate in the pool by the
same amount by which they reduced

Should the strained relations with Ger

Of Adolf Hitler's activities as German
chancellor in the next few months. It
was considered today that Ignace Jan
Paderewski, famous pianist and states
man. has a good chance of being IA

The election will be In June. Marshal

One Of the points against Paderewskis

ereo TOO much an individual to serve
merely as the marshals tool. but in

Paderewski, who is 70 years old. was
active in the United States in the move
ment for the liberation of Poland dur
ing the World War, and in 1910 he
served as premier and foreign minister

When he went to his native country
after the war he was hailed as an in
dependent and formed the first colition
cabinet. An attempt was made on his
life, however, in 1918 by political foes.
Paderewskl resigned because of oppo-
sition of military leaders and returned
to his musical career.

Al TIMES IN COURT, ANNETTE GETS YEAR
Only One Of Many,
Says Wonan's
Bureau Head

nettes had an ordinarily normal
home life and there is no way
of telling how they took up
drinking on such an intensive
scale.
'This particular Annette is
about 4S years Of age and is
one Of the best housekeepers in
Washington. She is kind and
patient and rather drOll and
amusing. She has been known
to stay sober for more than six
months at a time, but when
she begins drinking, she invari-
ably winds up here.
Knows No Cure
II do not know any means
Of curing this tendency. I do
know of one Of our c-d-time
Annettes who has not had q
drink for four years and is now
engaged in an important gain
full occupation. She only drop
ped in to say Hello" last week.
She could give no reason for
giving up her drinking and
neither could she say she was
definitely off the bottle. We
only wait and hope for the best.
"But our Annette Thornes
should not be clasSed as habit
ual criminals. OF all this An
nette's OffenseS but three were
for other than drinking and
they were only miSdemeanOrS.
Judge Hit sent her up for a
long sentence this time in hopes
she might ,tay sober a little
longer and really Annette doesn't

Washington has its fair pro-

by the name of Annette Thorne,
who was sent to jail for more
than a year in Police Court yes
terday when Judge Isaac r. Hit
was informed that she had broken
the laws II times since late in
1925.
Her infractions ranged from
contributing to the delinquency
of minors to plain drunkenness,
but 38 of the charges were for
drunkenness.
Captain Milliken smiled when
Annette's name was mentioned
and reached for her records:
I'VE have about q half dozen
just like her and their cases are
among the most interesting
with which we have to deal.
Many times they come here half
drunk just to ask us to give
them . nights lodging.
Nothing Vicious
"There is nothing particu-
larly vicious about our Annette
ThorneS. They get drunk and
then there Is no telling what
they may do. You see, habitual
drunkenness Of this sort causes
them to develop - peculiar
childishness and the other
things they do are mostly child
ish things lacking in the vicious
deliberation Of the hardened

in a fatal crash spread through
out Europe last night.
He told International News
Service he was "astonished" over
the number of radiograms re-
ceived during the night from per-
sons attempting to check the
rumor. He said:
Everything in connection
with the expedition was care
fully thought out beforehand.
Although our plane has 700
horsepower engine and is Of the
type used in the United States
to carry eight persons, my wife
and / are in the plane alone.
Our spare space is used for
provisions, o rubber boat and
gasoline"
SEES PLANE SERVICE
Firm belief that year-round air.
plane service between Europe and
the United States by way Of
Greenland is feasible was ex.
pressed by Colonel Lindbergh. He
said:
"The chief difficulty would
be in maintaining regularity Of
service"
Colonel Lindbergh discussed his
recent survey flights over Green
land, made in anticipation of
regular service within the next
two years. He said:
"In the early days of flying
you had to consider weather
before starting.
CONSIDERED TWO THINGS
"Now we have only two
things to consider. One is fog
and the other is rain when the
temperature is below freezing
causing planes to become coat
ed with ice.
"But both Of these may be
overcome and make flying alb
solutely secure. Radio is use
full in landing in the fog and
experiments to avoid ice-cOat-
ing have been successful.
II firmly believe it is possible
to carry on an au-year round
service between America and
Europe by way Of Greenland.
WILL FLY BACK
"At present I am interested
only in Greenland and Iceland.
/ may fly back to America by
way of Greenland or / may
take the mOther-ship Jelling
direct from Reykjavik, Iceland,
to America"
Owing to a strong wind and
rain yesterday, Colonel Lindbergh
and his wife did not leave as
scheduled for Reykjavik. They
spent the day strolling about the
colony here and heard the first
rumor of the supposed fatal crash
just before they retired.
