AGRICULTURE
 IS BIG ISSUE
 FOR CONGRESS
If There Is No Special Ses- sion, Then It Comes Up
 First at Regular
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. = It is amazing how the defeat of the Su- preme Court bill abrutly shut off the triumphant blizzard of speech es and handouts that blew from Government offices through tn e long months of the fight.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is a prime example of those whose verbal bombardments of the public ears ceased when the court plan went down for the ten count.
 During the progress of the court debate Wallace would be found speaking before colleges, farm groups and over the radio as often as three or four times a week. The speeches always dealt with some phase of agriculture, but it was un- canny the way he could weave into almost any farm subject an argu- ment to make room for younger men with blow 'em-under ideas.
 Advance copies of speeches land- ed on correspondents desks in Washington in columns of twos to the bewilderment of persons who didn't know how well the Wallace lathe could turn out nice-rounded speeches.
 But the present dearth of speech es is only a temporary affair. Wal lace, like Roosevelt, has just be-

JAPANESE REFUSED

SHANGHAI, Oct. 5.-The Chin ese defenders have inflicted heavy blows on the Japanese invaders in the hotly contested land battle for Chapel, the north station on the northern fringe of the Internation- al Settlement.
 The Japanese admit they have been blocked by the Chinese resis- tance.
 Are Wiped Out
 The Japanese army officials claim they have wiped China's warplanes from the air, the spokesmen as- serting that some 300 Chinese fight ing craft have been destroyed with in three months For some time only one plane has been observed flying in the Shanghai area and there have been only occasional reports of aerial combat elsewhere.
 Foreign military experts estimate Chinas fighting planes numbered only 200 at the beginning of the war.

 Wilderness

costs.
 Example: A shipping firm wants to build a ship and operate it be- tween New York and Liverpool. The government will advance 75 per cent of the cost right off the bat. The builder must then agree to pay part of the money back in 20 years. That part" is the cost of building a similar ship in foreign yard. This actually may be third or half of the cost of building the vessel in the United States. Then the government will figure out how much less it costs Britisher to op- crate a similar ship on the same route, and pay that additional sum to the American builder)
 But Kennedy is having a hard time distributing the governments money on that basis. Somewhat puzzled, he has decided to canvass the whole situation Within week or two he's going to tell you what the trouble is.
 LOusiest Job in Capital
 Ail the facts aren't in yet, but Kennedy already can tell you that the brand new Merchant Marine Act probably cant buck up Ameri- can shipping.
 He thinks many of the private companies cannot raise enough money to pay 25 per cent of the cost of new ships There are several req sons for this. One is that shipping companies often operate through obscure holding companies. Bank CTS don't like the looks of their earnings. And the industry has had too much labor trouble to suit investors.
 Then too, the governments nose isn't any too clean Lavish with money for a while, it has been too tight in other periods, leaving ship operators high and dry at odd times. This vaccilating policy has hot helped the companies put their own houses in order, but rather has invited them to keep on running to the government.
 Now the companies are complain ing that the new law has too many safeguards for the government and

By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--Over at the United States maritime mis- sion, they're using harsh words to describe the plight of the American merchant marine. They're saying we won't have any merchant mar inc to speak of in five years time if we don't watch out.
 And that's rather disheartening because the American taxpayer has sunk billions in ship bottoms, and the merchant marine is going tc get many more tax dollars.
 This merchant marine headache is as sure as death and taxes. There are three reasons:
 l. Foreign powers subsidize theii merchant fleets to keep them in the international race for trade, and to provide auxiliary ships for nav ies in wartime.
 Shipbuilding and operating costs are less in every foreign country than in the United States. Exam pie: Tn one big country, merchant seamen receive one-fifth as much pay as American seamen)
 B. Every nation must either build its own merchant fleet or allow for eign shipowners and their govern ments to dictate rates. If there were no American ships, nothing would permit foreign groups from establishing prohibitive rates for carrying American exports.
 Hard to AlIot Money
 And those are not the only req sons why you can't toss off this merchant marine headache with an aspirin. Joseph P. Kennedy is one and the American shipping mus try is another.
 Kennedy is the man who runs the new Maritime Commission, bureau created by Congress to subsidizf American shippings and thereby encourage the building of an Amer ican merchant fleet worthy of the name.
 Congress told the commission tt let American builders have 75 pei cent of the cost of building new ships, PLUS a differential betweer American and foreign operating

STORM RAKES
0LNEY AREA

OLNEY, Md, May 27.-Several
thousand dollars damage resulted
from the miniature tornado which
struck the central part of Mont
gomery county about 9 o'clock last
night, it was estimated today.
Striking from the northwest, the
storm uprooted trees, smashed
doors and windows, tore away
roofs and in some instances car
ried away small buildings over a
five-mile radius around Olney.
Most seriously handicapped by
the storm was the Montgomery
County Hospital at Sandy Spring.
Without lights when power and
telephone lines were torn down,
doctors and nurses at the institu-
ton were forced to go about their
duties aided by candle light for
nearly two hours. Light and tele-
phone services here were disrupted
throughout the night,

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The first fall hats that nave come to town click with fashion news in shape, color and trim. They make dis tinct style shift from the summer mode and show a lot of face.
 Watch for these things:
 Height-Brlms may roll high and away from the face. Crowns often show an elevation and sometimes are tapered or manipulated Bows and feathers point skyward Gen. erally only one of these effects ap- pears in each hat.
 Back Depth = Fall designs swoop low on the back of the head. Some times the crown descends; again a shirred piece of felt swirls down to the nape of the neck.
 Color There is nothing dull about the new hats. Even the black ones, which are legion, are spiked with vivid hues, while fuchsia, wine red and hydrangea blue felts are used for the bodies of hats.
 Trims-Feathers are very smart. An ostrich plume (veiled) covers a crown, shimmering coque feath- CTS spray down one side of the head or multicolored quills shoot forward. Flat fur covers a crown or lines a high felt swirl.
 Fabrics-Soft pliable felts, drap- able duvetynes, velvets Sometimes spattered with glistening dots) and multicolored satins (for cocktail toques) are all used. Antelope prom ises to have great vogue.
 Toques = Modistes have taken in spiration for toques and turbans from the Near and Far East. There are tall Algerian velvet toques ta- pering in the center and duvetyne turbans, draped in a complicated manner like an Indian maharajah's headgear
 1900 Influence-The shades of the sos and 1900's awake in big brim- med hats which roll high off the head on one side and swoop down on the other, setting the profile in bold relief.
 Direct0ire-The period of Napole- |on's directorate is reflected in high manipulated crowns and in off-the- face and bonnet models. Veils-They are still here, al- though designers expect them to be smaller than in the summer. Some big circular veils cover the small toques
