What it Would Require

1t would require every individual,
partnership, committee, association,
group, corporation or other organi-
zation to report to the clerk of the
House all contributors and all con-
tributions received for the purpose
of defeating, passing or influencing
legislation. It also would require a
report on money used to elect or de-
feat any member of Congress. De-
tails of expenditures as well as con-
tributions would be required.
Rep. Smith is member of the
Rules Committee. This committee
recommended adoption of his meas
ure, with lobby registration section
added, covering part but not all Of
the requirements in the Black bill
This is agreeable to Smith.
1t is the Smith bill on which the
judiciary subcommittee expects to
act next week. So far it has not
considered addition of registration
requirements.

LOBBY MEASURE
HACKERS PRESS
FOR ENACTMENT
Prospects Bright for Curb
on Those Who Seek to
Influence Congress.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-For the
first time in the history of Con-
gTess. prospects seemed bright to-
day for passage Of legislation curb
ing lobbyists.
With the House Rules Committee
as a new ally, other advocates of
lobby legislation shook off the dis
couragement which has enveloped
them and began pressing for action
on their measures.
Chairman Summers 3D., Tex), of
the House Judiciary Committee,
where two lobby bills are pending.
forecast action at this session.
Rep. Sam Hobbs Cd, Ala.), chair
man OF a judiciary subcommittee
now considering one Of the bills,
predicted his group would make a
report within a week.
Only One Question Remains
Apparently the only question still
to be settled is the form legislation
will take.
The Senate passed the Black
lobby bill last spring, requiring reg
istration of all lobbyists appearing
before committees of Congress or
government departments or inter-
viewing government officials. It
would require from each lobbyist
a detailed report as to who en-
ploys him, how much he is paid,
what he is allowed for expenses
and what he expends in lobbying.
Specifically it asks for the names
Of any government officials enter
tanned by such lobbyists, and the
names of any publications in which
he obtains insertion Of articles or
editorials.
A much milder bill prepared 10
days ago by Rep. Howard Smith
ID, Va seems to be making faster
progress through the House Judici-
airy Committee than the Black bill
did.

DEVELOP STRONG BEE
COLONIES IN SPRING

A bee colony that grows strong
and healthy in the spring will be in
a good position to gather large
quantities of honey when the flow
ers and trees put forth their bios
SONS.
To insure the development of a
strong colony, c.. L. Sans, extension
apiarist at State College, urges bee
keepers to examine their colonies on
a warm day in early spring.
The colony should have a good
queen, an abundance of food plen-
ty of brood comb, and a. large force
of workers. It should also be free
from. disease. -.-~..
If the colony has less than Is
pounds of stores, it should be fed
with honey taken from a healthy
hive that has a surplus or with a
syrup made from equal parts of wa
ter and sugar. :.
The condition of the queen may
be determined by examamining a
few combs of breed. Brood from a
good queen will be in solid patches,
with very few, if any, cells left va
cant, Sans pointed out.
If the brood comb has many emp
ty cells, the queen is weak. The alb
sence of brood indicates that the
colony is queenless.
A colony with a weak queen, or
without queen, should be united
with one that has a vigorous, pro-
life queen. If the colony is in fairly
good condition, it may be advisable

NEW SOIL PROGRAM TO
OVERPRODUCTION

The primary objective of the new
soil conservation and domestic al
lotment act is the wise use of land,
but its ultimate detectives are more
far-reaching.
"By conserving our soil resources
and putting our land to better USE"
said Dean I. o. Schaub, of State
College, 1--WE hope that the produs-
ton of basic farm commodities
will be held in check"
Under the new plan, he said, it
will not be possible to control the
crop production of individual
farms, as under the AAA, but it is
believed the program will tend to
prevent serious overproduction and
its consequent Generalization Of
prices
The act provides for government
grants to farmers for growing ero-
sion-control and soil-building crops
such as legumes and grasses rather
than soil-depleting cash crops.
Any farmer who wishes to i'm
prove his land, and shows evidence
that he follows the provisions of the
programe, will be eligible for COM
pensation from the government, the
dean added
1t was realized, he explained,
that many farmers could not afford
to reduce their cash crops and in
crease their grasses and legumes
without some financial aid
The basis On which the payments
will be made have not been determ-
ined at present, he continued, but
it will probably constitute several
methods so that the payment will
be as equitable as possible to all
growers
Special consideration is being
given the small farmer in view. Of
the fact that many felt the old AAA
failed in some respects to give him
an equal break with the large
planter

Husband and Son-in-Law Are
Held for Two Foul Murders

had been missing since Sunday
when they left home to attend a
motion picture.
Two fishermen found the bodies
in the creek about 20 miles north
of here today. The abdomen of each
had been slit and both had injuries
about the head.
Head Blows Fatal
DR.. r. r. Killinger, county medi-
cal examiner, said the head wounds
apparently had been caused by
hammer blows which would have
been fatal. He said the abdomens
were slashed after the head injuries.
Mrs. Powell's body was stripped
of clothing That of her mother,
Mrs. Lou E. Speer was clad only in
a corset and stockings.
Officers quoted Powell as saying
his wife and her mother wore dia-
mond rings when they left home
Sunday. Mrs. Speer, he said, had
about 5000 in cash with her.
A pocketbook identified as Mrs.
Speer's was found empty in creek.
The creek was drained, but nothing
else was found.
AnalyZe Blood Stains
Police started on analysis of blood
stains they. said were found in Pow
ellis automobile and on the kitchen
floor at his home.
Powell was convicted in Jackson
vile in 1926 of murder in the street
Staying of w: C.. Cowles' prominent
attorney and once city council mem
Der. He. was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, but received condi-
tional pardon in 1929. His citizen
ship was restored in 1881.
Officers said Powell had been
given a pardon in Alabama in 1914
after serving a short portion of a
1O-year sentence for second degree
murder.
Mrs. Powell was A years old, her
mother IS.

FARM AND GARDEN

chine can often be used in cotton
fields too, Brannon added.
Derris dust contain ing three
fourths of one per cent rotenone is
the most effective poison against
Mexican bean beetles, he stated, and
it is not poisonous to human beings.
Orchardists who have not yet ap-
piled the winter scale spray should
complete the applications before it
is too late in the spring. Also get
ready to follow the spraying and
busting schedules for spring and
summer.
Spraying calendars may be secur-
ed free from the agricultural editor

Bees die rapidly, Sans explained,
and unless a large number of bees
is raised from the brood in spring,
the colony will not be able to gath
er great deal of nectar when the
honey flow starts.
In the warmer sections of the
State, it will be safe to open the
hives for examination in March. In
the cooler mountain areas, it is best
to wait as late as May to avoid
danger of chilling the colonies, he
warned.

London, Aug. i8--(UP) -- JeBse Owens sails from Southampton aboard the queen Mary for home tomorrow and he doesn't care "a couple of hoots" about his imminent suspension by the American A. A. U.

 owens had agreed to compete at Stockholm. according to A. A. U. officials. When he falls to appear there at starting time, suspension will follow automatically.

TRADING WINDS
 ALREADY BLOW AROUND BOSTON
Werber of Red SOx, UT. banski, Lee, Berger of
 Brass Mentioned

Boston, Aug. io-(UP)--Rumor of winter deals involving prominent players rang today in the ears of pennAntsStarved Boston baseball fans.
 Nest persistent report was that base. e.stealing Bill Weber of the noundering Red BOx would be Bwap- ped for talkative Buck NewgOn, ace Washington right-hander.
 Though there was no tangible ba- sis for the report, it was understood Manager Buckey Harris of the Sen- atorg would like to acquire Werber, normally c third basemarl but preB- ently patrOlling the Outfield. New som, who has chalked up il Vic- tories 50 far this season, has proved . distinct nemesis to the Red Box, Tom Yawkey's million-dollar head ache.
 Among other things, the Box could use . capable pitcher as only two members of the hurling corps, Lefty Grove and Weg Terrell, have been ble to win with anything that re- Sembles consistency.
 Meanwhile, it also was rumorcd that Bob Quinn, president of the Boston's SurpriSing Bees, may barter several veterans during the winter in an effort to build his club into . pennant-contender.
 The name of Wally Berger, home run hitting center fielder, has been mentioned frequently as likely tFad- ing timber. Newer reports are that Outfielder HaI Lee and Bill Urban- Ski, veteran shortStop may be swapped for more hitting strength.
