 Several senators, who would not permit the use of their names, said they had notified Hoffman that they would sponsor Q bill to deprive him of the appointive power If he did not renoninate Schwarzkopf.
 Meanwhile, Hoffman's intention of naming Q suspect" announced by his friends, had not born fruit. His friends insisted he would name the suspect, the "man with the handkerchief" whom Colonel Lind- bergh saw the night at St. Raymond cemetery that pr. John F. Condon paid the $50, 900, this week.

 The increase in duties collections was attributed to an increase in warehouse withdrawals for con- sumption. It was pointed out that most of last weeks $553, ,996 i,t with- drawals was in wool on which Q heavy duty is assessed. Withdrawals for the similar week in 1885 were only $l99,453.
 It was the first time in several months that the weeks imports fell below those for the corresponding period of the preceding year. Part of the decrease was attributed to bad weather which delayed imports.

 Sen. Lewis Proposed
 Washington, Feb. 1 -- tUP) -- suave Sen. J. Hamilton Lewis. d., H., suggested in senate speech today that France and Great Brit ain help the United States dis- charge It's soldier bonus obligations,
 Whey could do 1t, he pointed out, by paying at least $0,000, 900 900 on war debts due this country.
 Tt IS now plain to all, that Amer len needs as an addition to our trOasury-two billions of money to pay the soldiers of our land and two billion more to cover the sums necessary to pay the farmer his duo and meet the order of return of process taxes that may be or- dered against us," Lewis said.
 .Sureiy our foreign debtors must realize that this Is the time to pay us the debt so long due and for which we waited with such indul- gence and friendsehip.
 T recommend that since these two countries, France and Eng land, have lately entered into a joint compact of service and mutual contribution In all matters of fl- nance, peace or war-I propose that to this there now be added by these nations the obligation to issue their joint bonds of small denomination payable to the United States Of America to the full sum of jointly of not less than six billion dollars being but part payment of the joint debt."
 Repealed Acts
 Washington, Feb. 4--(Up)-- The senate, acting on a recommendation by President Roosevelt, today re- pealed the Bankhead cotton control act, the Kerr Smith tobacco act and tho potato act, all of which had been rendered virtually impotent by tho supreme court AAA decision.
 The action came on the request of chairman Ellison D. Smith ci the senate agriculture committee asking an immediate vote on a res- olution repeating the laws. There was no record vote.
 The president only yesterday had asked for the repeal in view of the supreme courts AAA decision. The court also had before 1t this week the plea of Gov. Eugene Talmadgc of Georgia, political foe of the New Deal, to declare the Bankhead act unconstitutional.
 Meanwhile the senate prepared to take up the new farm bill later this week.
 The repeal resolution now must be acted upon by the house. If ap- proved, the resolution will be sign ed by speaker Joseph ByrnS and vice president John N. Garner. It then must go to President Roose- welt for his signature.
