Southern Members Demand

on RayOn.

WASHINGTON, July 20. - The
Senate, called into session two
hours early, returned today to a
bitter battle over the AAA amend
ments on which the Administra-
ton already has been defeated in
its efforts to prevent processing tax
suits.
Renewal of debate found South
ern Senators again attempting to
add a section to the amendments
levying a tax on raycn to compen-
safe for the cotton processing tax.
The arguments were intensified
by recent developments. including
reports that Southern cotton farmers
were ready to march" on the CAPT.
tai to defend the Roosevelt farm
program, by initial court victories
for professors seeking to prevent
collection of taxes and by charges
of E. A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
that utility concerns were lobbying
against the amendments. He de-
manded an investigation.
Senator Richard B. Russell 3D.,
Ga0 moved to reconsider the Sem
ate rejection of an amendment fix
ing the rayon tax at 125 per cent of
the cotton tax He commended cot
ton and rayon were direct COMPETE
tors.
IF the cotton textile industry is
to continue to bear the burden of
the processing tax" he said, 1T de-
serves protection.
This is one case where the inter
ests of the cotton farmer, the cotton
mill owner and those who toll in the
mills is one"
He charged the cotton farmer re-
ceived less in benefit payments than
