 Congress will be the scene of heated arguments and new align ments on bills of supreme import ance, but the stars indicate unani- mity on diplomatic matters.
 Secret conferences and visitors bringing important messages from foreign powers are foreseen. Many Washington affairs may appear puzzling, but politics formulated with foresight, even though hidden from the public, will have grave effect.

TWO SENATORS
 GET SCOOP ON
 J. s. PRESIDENT
Shove Bill to Stress Flood Control and Minimize
 Power Plans

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Sena- tors Barkley of Kentucky and Bulk ley of Ohio scooped the Presidents nationwide power authority pro- gram by showing ahead a bill to stress flood control and minimize power.
 Senator Norris of Nebraska, to whom the power industry and busi- ness skullduggery are almost syn onymous terms, went to the White House a few days ago to talk pow CT with the President. Both have advocated a series of setups like IVA to cover all the country but seemingly agreed that actual legis- lation would await report by the Presidents latest power committee, headed by Secretary Ickes.
 Bulkley already had introduced an Ohio Valley authority bill but on a visit to the White House he learned of the nationwide plan to link power, flood control and navigation Fearful the hotly fought power issue would hamper flood legislation, he conferred quickly with Barkley, whose state also has flood troubles.
 The result was their measure to set up seven new authorities coy- ering all the United States not al- ready blanketed by IVA. But un- like in IVA. power was subordin- ated Bulkley was frank about it, saying Ohio needed no water pow CT as it had plenty of coal.

Insecure Social Security
Cincinnati Enquirer

It was generally recognized after the Social Security Act passed in 1885 that it had one very grave flaw namely, the provision for accumulation of vast It has been pointed out by group of Presidents of insurance companies that such reserve ultimately to be almost $5000O 100000 under present provisions is wholly unnecessary The old age insurance feature of the act be and should be conducted on pay y-as-you-g go basis with small contingent fund.
 The Senate Finance Committee is well on its way to making this change Senator Harry F. Byrd and Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg have been chosen along with Chairman Pat Harrison a sub-com mittee to plan amendment to the act. This seems It has been understood for some months that the administration, recognizing the folly of the reserve plan, would offer resistance to such amendment.
 Still another change in the act merits study. As it reads, the act permits payments of pensions only to those workers who have lost given up their jobs at age of 65. This is quite unwarranted If worker and his employer contribute for 10 30 to pension, that pension should be available to the worker in due course It should not be contingent his employer have contributed for his eventual After all the object of the act is to establish social security, not to discourage productive labor at any age. t.S

Columbia. Before a teacher could receive pay, he had to sign slip saying that during the month cov- cred by his pay check he had not taught communism.
 All that rigmarole affecting hun dreds of teachers gummed up the works in the District disbursing office To get around it, the red rider slips were circulated among the teachers early each month Along about the second or third of January, say, the teacher would sign a slip saying he had taught no communism during January. That avoided the bookkeeping tangle but at the same time left the teacher technically free to teach communism to his hearts content during the rest of January. How ever, it seems nobody was bold enough to, and whatever Washing tons youngsters learned of the Russian government during the past two years was learned outside the school rooms.
 The national storm and strife aroused over the red rider may have discouraged Congress from us- ing Washington as gover mental guinea pig for trying out somebody's pet legislation. It is strange, too, for person would think Washington, of all places, would be safe spot to fiddle with. since nobody much can vote or stir up thunderation back in the Con- gressmen's home district.

thorizes appropriations up to 10 mil lion dollars for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1888, up to 39 million dollars for the 1899 fiscal year. and up to 50 million dollars for the 1940 fiscal year, to carry out the purposes of the Act
 Delegate Dimond said that the vp- erat.ons authorized under the pre- posed legislation would, in a large measure, fulfill the need of a num- Der Of farmers in Alaska for a low interest loan with which to properly establish themselves. Recognizing
 he need for loans to farmers in Al eska, the Delegate tndeayorcd in
 e23 to have the loan activities of he Farm Credit Administration ex- tended to the Territory. However after an extended investigation of the suggested operations in Alaska the FCA rejected the plan because 1t held that the administrative costs would be prohibitive in view of the comparatively small number of loans that would be administered.
 Had To Be AbandOned
 Tn its operations in the States the loans granted to farmers have been sufficient to take care uf overhead costs from the interest on the loans ard as this did not appear 0 be pos sible in operating in Alaska the plan had to be abandoned. Two vears la fer Delegate Dimond tried to secure funds to be administered through the Division of Territories and Is land Possessions, which would avoid the charge of a high administrative overhead because the Division was already functioning iii th Territory but the money could not be obtained.
 The pending bill, which will be known as the Farm Security Act of 1897" if enacted, has been evolved from studies made during the past two years and from other bills intro duced during this period. Objections found in previous bills introduced for this purpose have been worked out in this so that 1t Is generally be- lieved that there is a fair chance of passing the Senate. Because of the relatively small appropriation au- thcrized in the bill for the vscal year 193S, 1t appears doubtful if little more than a beginning can be made at first in effecting the purpose 5ef the bill.

WASHINGTON-Financial aid to qualified persons in Alaska to enable Eheln to acquire farms in the Terri tory is likely to be a reality If a bin to encourage and promote the 6xp- erzhia of fayn homes and to make the possession of such homes more secure, IS enacted.
 Under this measure the Seeleta ry of Agriculture Is authorized to make loan in the United States and in the Ter. tories of Alaska and Hawaii to farm enants, farm laborRrs, share croppe1s or others who obtain or have recently obtained the major portion of their income from farm ing operations. Preference will be ,g:vaa 70 persons m thls class who are married or have dependent fam Ii5s, and where practicable to those able to make the initial payment from their own resources In getting their farm into operation or who have livestock or equipment ueces- sazy for farming. No loan shall be made for the acquisition of any farm unless 1t is of sufficient size ta pro- vide efficient management and te en- able a diligent farm family tO carry u able in the locality in which the mace for the purchase 6i livestock farm implements, and supplies. and for refnancing farm indebtedness.
 Provides For Committee
 To avoid the troubles and abuses that are nearly always inherent in long-rangs management of projects such as the one proposed, the bih provides for a so-called County Com mittee, composed of three farmers residing in the county n which the loan activities are to be carried on. to examine and appraise farms in that county for loan purposes, and to determine the eligibility of appli- cants for loans. Consideration Will be given to the character, ability and experience of applicants for loans to assure a reasonable likeli- hood that the granting Of the loan will serve its purpose and that it will be repaid. Because Alaska is not or ganized into county divisions that would make the corporations bf the county committee plan applicable to the Territory, Delegate DimoTiu secured the insertion of an amend ment in the bill when 1t was under consideration on the floor of the House which provides hat IT the case of Alaska, the term county" as used in the Act shall be :deemad synGTF; nous, with the Territory GIT any subj division EAere6f asrm may be 'designat. ed by the Secretary of Agriculture. The bill has passed the House with the amendment to facilita4e its op- eratlen m the T erritpry.
 Security Behind Loans
 Loans granted under the authority of the proposed measure would be secured by a first mortgage or deed of trust on the farm, and repayment ecould be made over any agreed per iod not to exceed 30 years for land loans, and not to exceed years for the livestock, equipment or supply loans. The interest on both classes of loans would be in the amount of 3 per cent per annum. The pill au-

CONSIDERS REMARRIAGE
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Five years ago l got a divorce
from my husband because he was
running around with another
woman, and thought he wanted
to marry her.
when she discovered he had
less money than she imagined he
The Washington times., 1937-03-09

had, she declined to marry him. He
has asked me persistentIy to take
him back. But, up on the present
time, have refused.
eve have a son of 8 years, who
is very fond of his father, and the
boy spends a month or six weeks
with him, in the great open
spaces every summer.
"While am completely disillu-
stoned about my husband, 1 am
considering remarrying him be-
cause l think it is better for a
child to have some associations
with a man, rather than to be
brought up entirely by a woman.
"DO you think this would be a
wise move? "EX-WIFE."
1t is certainly better for a boy
to have the influence Of both
parents in his life, and if you feel
you can keep the home fires burn
ing, without wrangling or argu-
ments, I think it would be a good
thing.
But as a correspondent wrote to
me yesterday, it is better for a
child to live with one happy parent
than with, two who are unhappy
and quarrel.
