FARM NEED

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 19 GIN.
SO.-Cooperation of farmers, the
land grand colleges and the varl-
o~s agencies of the Government
having to do with agriculture are
essential not only to the welfare
Of the farmers themselves, but to
the country as whole, H. R. Toll
ley, AAA administrator, told the
fiftieth annual convention Of the
Association of Land Grant Col
leges and Universities here yester-
day.
Pointing out that the land grant
colleges now find themselves in
volved with the activities of the
AAA, soil conservation service and
other new governmental agencies
Tolley said:
"SOme college executives may
be alarmed at finding their in
stitutions mixed up with the
hurly-burly of affairs, and may
see nothing but disaster ahead.
But I believe there is another
view which one may take.
"I believe that we may look
upon the present state of affairs
rs only a passing phase. If the
new entities that have come into
being in the last three years are
serving the fundamental needs
of agriculture and the nation,
then they are certain, sooner or
later, to be universally accepted.
"This is what happened with
the Federal Reserve System in
the field of banking and finance.
This is what happened with the
Federal Farm Loan System and
the county agent system in the
field of agriculture. Is there
not just reason to believe that
the Triple A programs will
eventually pass out of the realm
of controversy and be accepted
as part of the useful life of the
nation?"

HOPE

TH|SSESS|0N
Conferees Ready to
Iron Out Differences
on Choice of Site

With settlement of the Wash
ington-H Hoover Airport controversy
as a result of the passing Of the
Military Road bill yesterday, Dis
trict Committee members in the
House and Senate appeared hope
full today Of the enactment dur
ing this session of legislation pro-
viding for the development of
permanent adequate airport for
the National Capital.
Steps already have been taken
to speed along a House-Sena5e
agreement on the adequate airport
legislation, and it is expected that
within the coming week the diff
ferences Of opinion existing be.
tween the House and Senate on
this ropoSal might be
ttraightened out.
The House bill names the
specific persons who should be ap.
pointed to a special commission
to select and purchase a site for
an adequate airport for the city,
while the Senate voted to permit
the President to name the person
mel of the special commission.
During the past 10 days the con.
ferees from the Senate and House
met to try to iron out their differ
ences. This resulted in the House
group being instructed to draft
some kind of compromise which
might be acceptable to both sides.
It was learned today that the
House group has outlined this com.
promise proposal, but the contents
of the compromise is being
guarded closely by those who are
in charge of it. Within a few
days, it also was learned, the con.
ferees from both sides of the Capt.
tol will be called into session to
consider this new plan, and it is
believed by leading members that
it will meet with the approval of
both the House and Senate repre-
Sentatives.
AS soon as an agreement can be
reached. it is the opinion of those
close to the situation that both
the House and Senate will approve
whatever the confereeS do and the
bill will go to the President
speedily so that the special com.
mission may get started quickly
with a view to selecting the new
airport site before the new Con-
gresS meets next year.

Ken Murray
Says:

Congressman Marc a ntOniO,
who was handled so roughly by
the New York police while pa
rading with discOntented WPA
workers the other day, has chal-
Ienged Police Commissioner
Valentine to a fight. Wonder If
Mr.. MarcantOniO is as adept at
dOdging fists as the average
Congressman is at dOdging is
sues?
The Commissioner said he
would meet the Congressman in
Madison Square Garden, for
the benefit Of the police pension
fund, with spray gun. Won't
do any good, Commissioner. .
Those politicians breed faster
than flies.
Personally, I don't believe
either one is as anxious to get
into the ring as into the front
pages.
But even IL the fight doesn't
materialiZe, that spray gun
might not be q bad idea to pre-
vent so many politicians from
being bitten by the presidential
bug.

Caught Off Guard
Local Representatives were

At the office of Representative

who is i'll at his hotel, it was said
that a statement on the measure
would be forthcoming when the
Representative returned to his Of
flee.
From other sources, however, 1t
was learned that the local Mary
land leader was surprised that he
had been given no intimation Of
Representative Rankin's move.
It was also pointed out that the
Rankin measure more or less junkS
the Potomac plan, which embraced
a proposal to, build a dam across
the Savage 'Rivery"at Deer Park,
Nd, to the particular benefit of
Cumberland and the surrounding
district. This plan has been under
consideration for about two years.
The PVA bill dwarfs it's million
and-a-nalf-dollar estimated cost.
Virginia Is Opposed
On the Virginia side Of the
river pronounced opposition will
develop, too.
In Arlington county, feeling is
strong for the project. The Puo-
lie Utilities Commission, fighting
for lower power rates. sees an end
to its conflict with the power
companies.
But Fairfax county, with it's
dream of George Washington
Park, is cool to the subject. They
want the bridge, but not the power
plant.

''If investigation shows that
the plan is economically feaS-

SCHOOL HEADS
HERE WAR0N
RED RIDER
Board to Take Up the
Question at Meeting
On Monday

The force of the District pub
lie school system was thrown be
hind the repeal Of the RED rider
as plans moved forward today for
the appearance Of school officials
before a House District commit
tee hearing Tuesday morning.
With the legislation committee
of the Board of Education favor
ably reporting new Sisson bill
for outright repeal Of the legiS'
lation which now prohibits the
teaching or advocating" Of com
munism in the local schools, it is
expected that the full school
board will fall into this position
when it meets in special session
Monday to prepare its report for
presentation to the congressional
committee.
SisSOn Asks Repeal
Shortly before the school legis-
lation committee met yesterday
afternoon, Representative Fred j.
SiSson Cd, of New York, intro
duced in the House his repeal bill
to supersede a former bill intro
duced by him which would only
have amended the present legiS-
lation.
Although the hearing Tuesday
is scheduled to hear arguments
on the original SisSon measure,
Mr.. Sisson expressed the belief
that the committee would take up
his new bill. The committee OF
the board also passed over the
earlier bill and took its stand on
Mr.. SiSSon's later measure.
|, At the legislation committee
meeting yesterday, DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent OF schools.
also expressed himself in favor Of
repeal of the communism legisla-
ton, falling in with arguments by
board members that the prohibi'
ton on the teaching and advocat-
ing of communism has made both
pupils and teachers communism
conscious" )"
Information ''BOOtlegged"
Teachers, it was said, are un-
willing to give factual information
on communism, as permitted by
the school authorities, for fear
they will not receive their salaries,
while students bootleg" informa-
ton on communism because they
cannot get it in the schools.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, pres
ident of the school board, told the
committee:
1--WE have done our best in
administering this legislation.
But before its passage, the ad-
vOcacy Of communism was not
tolerated in the schools, and
therefore the legislation was un-
necessary.
