 IU also would give congress au- thority over disputes arising among those engaged in such activities.
 The Logan plan is not so sweep ing as the one proposed by Senator Edward P. Costigan, D., Colo, which would give congress the power to regulate wages and conditions of employment regardless of state lines.
 The Costigan amendment is now in the senate judiciary committee with little likelihood of action upon it.
 Sen. Charles L. McNary, R., Ore, joined the AAA discussion in one of his rare senate speeches. He advo- cated payment of government ob- ligations to farmers who have ful- filled their part of crop reduction programs.
 McNary said the obligation was a moral one and that congress must in good conscience appropriate the money" He introduced bill for that purpose. s.. Meeting Is Called
 Chairman Ellison D. Smith of the senate agriculture committee called a meeting of his group to consider the situation Monday. Smiths action came after a furry of proposals in the senate topped by introduction of a proposed con- stitutional amendment by Senator M. M. Logan, D., Ky, which would confer upon congress the specific powers denied 1t by the supreme court ruling.
 The congressional activity coin- cided with a new meeting called at the White House at which the pres- ident discussed the AAA situation with half a dozen cabinet members and high officials. Prior to a specialization of admin istration views on the AAA situa- ton, it was expected officials would await the reaction of farmers called into consultation tomorrow by &c., cretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.
 Meantime Senate Minority Leader Charles McNary, R., Ore, introduced a bill providing for carrying out of payments already pledged to farm- CTS through acreage reduction con- | tracts.
 Sen. John H. Bankhead, D., Ala, attacked the supreme court and said President Roosevelt should ex- pand the currency if necessary to prevent agricultural distress.
 Smith said he hoped his commit tee could work out solution of the situation.
 "A majority of the men on the committee are farmer-minded and farm experienced" he said. T think we can work out program to meet the situation"
 Smith, although he piloted the AAA through the senate, has never been an enthusiastic supporter of 1t. ."I believe" he said today, that if we provide through congress an adequate circulating medium and a reasonable access to the world mar ket we wouldn't need to pass any other law"

Stinging Rebuke

Washington, Jan. 9-(UP)-Po- litical warfare broke out in the sen- ate today starting the almost con- tinuous slxirmishing expected until election day next November.
 An attack by Senator Daniel O. Hastings, republican, Delaware, on the New Deal, was answered in fiery language by Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas.
 Robinson, replying to an outburst of sarcastic anti-New Deal poetry recited by Hastings, took occasion to nominate" Senator L. J. Dickin- son of Iowa as the republican presi- dential selection.
 "He is my candidate for the re- publican presidential nomination be- cause think he epitomizes just what the senator from Delaware stands for," Robinson said.
 Hastings Impertinent
 The democratic leader said Hast ings' speech was Ian unparalleled impertinence." Hastings had pro- posed humorous substitute for the presidents annual message to con- gresS.
 Robinson said Hastings had neither the ability nor the cour- age" to respond to MT. Roosevelt's challenge.
 He described Hastings as a little low in the withers, little sore in the back. 8 little lame In the feet and little stammering of speech"
 Tt is easy to criticize,' he said. Even one with less intelligence than the senator from Delaware can criticize, but the real test is for one to suggest some other course of ac- tion."

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, April 13.-Tinal plans to cir
culate petitions requesting q special
election in Arlington county to
authorize the issuance Of $3.50, 900
school bonds to build Junior high
school will be made here tomor-
row night at a meeting Of the
county school board and other
organizations interested in the
move.
While the law requires only 1000
signatures to order the election,
sponsors Of the move are planning
to get $500 Signers before the week
ends. Strongest Of the groups
sponsoring the petitions will be
the Parent Teacher Association
units throughout the county.
To be situated in the Arlington
section Of the county, the new
junior high school Is planned to
relieve the congested condition in
the county's high school, Washing
ton-Lee.
Judge Walter Mccarthy, Of the
Circuit Court, will be asked to set

ALEXANDRIANS
ASK TO 0KAY
P0WERPLANT

ALEXANDRIA. Va, April IS.
Erection Of a new power plant in
Alexandria by the Virginia Public
Service Company will be protested
by scores of leading citizens un-
less the utility agrees to submit
its plans for the building for
approval Of the people, it was
learned today.
A petition bearing the names OF
a group of prominent citizens will
be presented to city council to-
morrow night in protest against
an additional power plant unit
here that is not absolutely smoke
and cinder proof.
Contending that utility officials
have neglected since 1880 to cor
rect annoying conditions resulting
from operation of its plant here,
the petitioners will ask the city
council not to permit erection OF
any plant that does not include
equipment which will eliminate all
smoke and cinders.
Rate Cut Sought
The petitioners will also seek q
reduction in electric rates here to
the level Of those enjoyed in
washington.
A petition to the grand jury
here in 1890 resulted in the plant
being declared q nuisance, but &C
ton was withheld pending correc-
ton Of the conditions by utility
officials.
Claim Nuisance Eliminated
Announcement Of the plans to
erect the new unit said that it
would virtually eliminate the
smoke and cinder nuisance and
that the old plant would be con-
nected with the modern equip
ment to be included in the new
plant, so that when the old plant
was in operation during the peak
loads, it, too, would be operated
ON Q SmokelesS and dustleSS basis.
Petitioners declare, however,
that they have been advised that
the plans Of the utility do not
include the best equipment, and
are, therefore, asking the council
to permit them to inspect the
plans before approval is granted
for the plant.
