place today when, with four words
of archaic Norman French, LIE
roy lie veult," royal commits
sion gave the Kings assent to a
law granting self-government to
India.
The bill produced the greatest
flood of oratory in the history Of
parliament, running over 10000
900 words.
The act itself, 100000 words
long, YIELDS 100000 square miles
of British India and 100000 square
miles-6O0 states governed by ma
tive princes-into gigantic fed
Grafton.
Autonomy for provincial govern
mentS is provided. with Britain
remaining in control of defense,

UTILITIES BILL
REVISION DUE


The Administration today was
reported willing to accept modi-
fled utility bill which does not pro-
vide for dissolution of giant hold
ing company structures.
This attitude was reflected in a
statement by Chairman Rayburn,
of Texas, of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee, who pre-
dicted some type of utility legisla"
ton would be enacted at the pres
ent session of Congress.
Representative Rayburn's an
nouncement came after the House
yesterday overwhelming refused to
accept the drastic holding COM
pany death sentence"
In refusing to instruct it's con-
ference committee on the utility
bill to accept the Senate'S de-
mands for inclusion of the death
clause. the House registered its
opposition to the controversial
provision for the third time within
the space of a month.
The three votes disclosed little
change in sentiment by House
members in regard to the death
sentence. Administration follow
ers had hoped the revelations of
fake kilograms and Whispering
campaigns" against the President
would swing numerous votes over
to the Administration camp.
On its first test on the death
sentence, a teller vote in commit,
tee of the whole, the House re,
jected the provision, ZIG to 148.
Immediately afterwards, a move
to substitute the Senate bill con.
tanning holding company dissolu.
ton was defeated 25S to 147
Yesterdays vote was 210 to 155
against the provision.

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-08-02

Many conservative leaders,
headed by Winston Churchill, bit
terly opposed the bill. Indian
princes, too, joined in the opposi-
ton.
The ceremony of the signature
was brief and simple. Before a
gilded throne in the House of
Lords, three crimson-robed peers,
Lords HailShal, Stanhope and
Rhayder, acting under a King S
warrant, gave the royal assent to
the new constitution.
The bill was sandWiched in be-
tween minor measures affecting
India ranging from one regulat-
ing the cattle industry to one
controlling salmon fishing. One
observer remarked:
"NOt since America seeded
from Britain has the world
witnessed q political event of
such historical magnitude"

DAIRY BUREAU TO
 COMMENCE SURVEY
Two Hundred Farms to Be Inspected Throughout
 New Haven County

At recent meeting of the New Haven County Farm Bureau Dairy Committee, arrangements were made to take a survey of about 200 dairy farms, selected at random throughout the county, for the purpose of finding out how much feed is being purchased on irdi- vidual farms for dairy animals. They also hope to find out if the feed being produced is of high CT low quality and if there is an op- portunity for dairymcn to improve their system of farming by shifting from barn feeding during the sum- mer and fall months to q pasture system during these same months.
 Many dairymen have improved their hay crop by growing more of ithe leguminous crops, especially al- falfa. A few dairymen have at tempted working out q long time pasture program. Records from t dairy farms in New Haven county ir 1894 show that the herds were on pasture for 5la months and produced milk at a saving of about 50 cents per 100 pounds as com pared with usual methods of pro- ducing milk.
 The dairy committee hopes to | find out by the survey If other dairy farms in the county can make this same saving by chang ing their cropping system and If so. information will be gathered together and sent to all dairymen on the practices to be followed.
