Der or November session to enact
farm legislation appeared unlikely
to succeed barring unexpected de-
velopments. Leaders pointed out,
however, that President Roosevelt
pad the power to summon them
back late in the year if he desired.
Majority Leader Alben w. Bark
ley OF Kentucky said:
''If the agriculture committee
hastens its work and has a bill
ready for action by the middle OF
October or the first of November,
the president will undoubtedly ex-
ercise his right to call congress into
extraordinary session to consider
the legislation"
In the house, Majority Leader
Sam Rayburn of Texas said he be-
lieved the president would be salts
fled with assurances" of farm
legislation in January
Legislative tangles which prompt
ed ,Barkley to warn the senate to
speed up if it expected to adjourn
by Aug. 81, included:
;, l. The Wagner housing bill. Un-
expected delay of the senate in
acting on the measure threw con-
greSs far behind it's schedule and
further emphasized the strength
OF coalition of southern Demo-
Gratis and Republicans opposing i'm
portant administration measures.
q. General crop control legisla-
ton. Sen. Hugo L. Black, D., Ala,
obtained 40 signatures to a petit
ton for special session in October
despite demands of both house and
senate agriculture committee chair
men that the legislation be delayed
until January
g.. The desire of southern sena-
>fors for cotton loans from the COM
modify credit corporation. The ad-
.ministration has the southern con
fServative" bloc in a dilemma by
taking the position that are given
that crop control legislation will
be enacted, at least in January.
A. The demand of the so-called
sugar states bloc for quota and ben
eft payment legislation. The ad-
ninistration has opposed restric-
tions on import of refined sugar
from Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands as desired by the
sugar bloc. House sugar leaders
were working on strategy to avoid

Party Revenge

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 UP)-
Peace overtures within the Demo-
cratic party promised today to dimi-
nish somewhat but not to end the
tendency of conservatives to pull
away from the Roosevelt adminis-
tration.
Chief development toward party

being delivered in the midwest

Farley who also is chairman of the
Democratic National committee.
Farley is broadcasting a denial of

made use of its open market" oper-
ations to support the Government
market when it was weakest. How
ever, all long term issues with less
than 3 per cent coupon sold from
slightly less than par to discount
of nearly three points in the De-
cember and March 212s.
With an average decline in Trea-
sury notes, the market depreciation
in the Government list since Janu-
ary is well above $1,000 100000.
A number of the largest banks and
trust companies have been cutting
down their Government portfolios.
The presumption is that, during the
recent break from less than 2l2 per
cent yield basis to better than per
cent, the previously reluctant public
has been adding to its holdings Of
this best of all paper in the world.
1t will not however, maintain such
status unless correction is soon
made of the present unbalanced debt
situation. There are only two ways
by which this can be effected; first,
by reducing expenditures, and, second.
by increasing taxes. Both are diff
cult for any administration to under
take.
The more effective of the two is the
first. 1t is time it was attempted.
II could well be supplemented by
the second, for the number of indl-
viduals who actually pay an income

NEW YORK, April 10.-A mild
inquiry for Treasury and Federal
agency issues brought small gains as
other sections of the bond market
moved unevenly today.
Offerings of Governments dried up
when it became apparent there was
steady underlying support in the mar
ket. With the forces for recovery in
control for the second successive day,
some observers felt the pressure on
these issues was relaxing. They
pointed to results for the week as
further evidence of their contention
During the six-day period just closed

rs were higher and five unchanged.
The remainder stood lower. Losses
ranged to 98 of point and gains to

part, however, that few broke out of
low fractional ranges. Of those that
did gamers included International

IF more Of our women would take
