Painting Season to Start
Soon; Roosevelt May
Push Measure.

By ippS-HOlcGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Reduc-
ton of several major farm crops
under governmental supervision will
not be possible for at least another
year, unless President Elect RoOse-
welt compromises the congressional
row over farm relief at once, so the
measure can be passed this session.
New green shoots of wheat and
cotton and tobacco and rice may be
coming up through the good earth
before congress acts, and this pos
sibility is being discussed among
senators.
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to de-
termine in his conferences today
whether the domestic allotment
plan shall be pushed through to a
showdown, and if he says the word
the bill that has passed the house
will come in some amended form
to quick vote in the senate.
Since his agricultural advisors,
like Henry Morganthau Jr. and
Professors Meyers and Tugweu,
have sponsored the measure since
it was born in the house, the gen.
eraI belief is that Mr.. Roosevelt will
insist on its passage.
One provision of the domestic al
lotment bill is for reduction of acre
age by farmers Of cotton, wheat,
tobacco and rice who receive its
bounties.
But these crops generally are
planted early in the spring, and
preparation of the ground for their
sowing is begun even earlier.
So, if crop reduction planned and
supervised by the government - a
fundamental principles to affect
these 1884 crops, the measure Will
have to be enacted during this ses-
sion.
The senate agriculture committee
again today considered the bill in
executive session. with a decision
expected on whether there would be
brief hearings.

Trade Commission Counsel Wins

lT6Ue COMMISSION COunSel WINS
Praise From Many Liberals.
By Scripps-H0icard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2O.-One
prominent member of the Repub-
lican regime will retain his place
when Franklin D. Roosevelt be-
comes President if his Democratic
friends in the senate and house
have their say.
He is Robert E. Healy, chief
counsel of the federal trade COM
mission. Judge Healy is Vermont
Republican, appointed during the
administration of Coolidge at about
the time the trade commission was
entrusted with the task of iIvesti-
eating utility company propaganda
and holding company finances, and
it is his work in this investigation
that has won him the hearty COM
mendation of congressional liberals.
When the utility investigation
was first proposed by Senator
Thomas J. Walsh Dem, Month, it
was to be a senate investigation.
Friends of the power companies
proposed instead that the matter be
turned over to the federal trade
commission, and were successful
after a hot senate fight.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The
senate committee on public lands, of
which Gerald P. Nye (Rep., N. D.,

gate the activities of the national
parks service in connection with the
purchase of 10000 acres of land in
the Jackson hole country of Wy
Oming by John D. Rockefeller Jr.,
to add to the Grand Teton National
Park.
The Wyoming senators, opposed
strongly to the addition of more

the utmost. They offered to accept

No charges are brought against
the good intentions or good faith of
MIR. Rockefeller. 1t is Senator Ro-
bert D. Careys contention that he
has been misled in the project, and
that the citizens of Jackson's hole
and of Wyoming generally are
against placing any more taxable
lands in federal reservations in their

Out Of Jehol's glittering past
~ come stories Of lavish,
splendrous days that are in strik-
ing contrast TO the scenes Of de-
cadence which now greet visitors
to this North China province.

the countryside which once basked
in the reflected glory Of the pleas
GLOWING Manchus.
The roads-one of which was
described by a member 0. Lord
McCartney's embassy 140 years
ago as being the most beautiful in
the World-are rutted and at times
impossible.
Yet it was over these roads that
brilliant imperial professions
swung in the days OF Jehols
magnifcence.
Tea houses dot the roads at in
tervals. Pigs root in the streets
Of the villages. Crumbled temples
are everywhere, while on the high
ridges may be seen temples which
have withstood the corroSion OF
time.
Jehol's people, for the most part,
are descendants of the Manchu
servants, although to the north
there are a few Mongol chieftains.
The peasants raise sheep and
cultivate millet and gao-liang.
Poppies grow in the GASES and fur
