F.. Arnold, President and Secre-
tary, respectively, of the North
Carolina Farm Bureau, were here
in attendance together with Rep
resentatives Warren, Kerr and
Hamilton Of Virginia.
The three congressman insisted
that potatoes and peanuts must be
included in any farrH bill that
Congress is to consider. Both
crops have been left out of the
farm bills that have been intro
duced so far. After a full discus
sion Farm Bureau officials stated
that they were now willing for
these two commodities to be in
cluded in their bill and commit
tees were appointed to draw up
tentative provisions.
Tobacco at the present time
seems to hold strategic position
as those favoring opposing bills
have consented for a control sec
ton for tobacco to go in their
bills. The situation now appears
almost hopeless for any farm leg
islation during the present SeS-
sion of Congress. 1t is contemplate
ed that the Committee on Agri-
culture will have bill ready for
consideration when Congress con-
venes again in January.

Sens. Burton K. Wheeler, D.,

Van Dcvanter'S Successor
Mr.. Roosevelt has one vacancy
to fill that created by the re-

The constitution provides for
recess appointments when vacan-
cies occur when congress is not
in session and the point the pres
ident wants to clear up is whether
the same power applies when the
vacancy occurs when congress is
in session. All appointments must
be confirmed by the senate.
The president said he was still
undecided whether to name Van
Devanter's successor before con-

Runaway Mule Causes
A Bit of Excitement

Gum Neck, July 27.-A mule
belonging to w. C. Liverman be-
came frightened Saturday after
noon and broke away from the
fence at Paul Jones store where
he was hitched, dashing up the
road with a broken bride. Passing
two automobiles and cart safely,
he turned into the Georgia Road
and catapulted into the yard at
the home Of Sidney Basnight, COL
ored, landing on his neck with
the cart upside down.
Basnight cut the mule free from
the cart, whereupon he resumed
his flight. Mr.. Liverman, in an au-
tomobile with George EVerton,
overlook him and brought him to
stop. The mule escaped without
serious injury and the cart was
not damaged.

whose real name is Dolores Ibar-
ruri and who was the first woman
to carry a gun into battle in
Spain.
La Passionate" whose hus-
band is a Communist functionary
in Russia, has given up fighting
and is giving nightly radio talks
to women from Valencia station.
A loyalist regiment still bears her
name, however.
In the early days of the civil
war she was notorious for her
part in street battles between
Communists and rightists.

mems clothes and fought with the
Communist Libertaire column Of
Asturian miners, narrowly escap-
ed death last October when she
participated in an attack on a
rebel garrison holding Oviedo.
Wearing a tattered overall suit
with a hammer and sickle insig-
mia on the breast, her black bob

handkerchief she was wounded
desperately as she fought along
side the miners dynamiting their
way into the city.
She saw a wounded miner in
advance of the loyalist line and
went to drag him back and was
herself wounded by a machine
gun bullet and three shrapnel
fragments.
Pilara is sister of Aide la
Fuente, who was killed in the 1884
ASturian revolt while firing ma
chine gun. Aide was called La Lii
bertaria" and her sister inherited
the title.
No women are fighting In either
the rebel or loyalist armies now,
but many are enrolled in hospital
and ambulance units.
On the loyalist side girls too
young to be nurses are enrolled as
"pioneroS" while on the insurgent
side they are called "requestas,"
or young FaSciStS.
The greatest of the insurgent

it the terms of the president and
vice president to one six year per-
iod.
Knutson's amendment was de-
feated 100 to 48. McLean's was
held to be not germane and thus
was not voted upon. Members and
spectators laughed heartily as
Rep. Dewey Short. r.. Mo-, a for
mer evangelist, taunted his DEM
ocratic colleagues. He warned
them that unless he was given
time to speak he would offer an
amendment which would require
President Roosevelt to name to
the new jobs his three sons,
Franklin Delano, Jr.. Elliott and
John, his daughter. Mrs. Anna
Roosevelt Boettiger. and her two
children. "Sistie" and "Buzzie"
Dali.
THE only reason they would
not qualify for these positions is
because I fear they do not have
the passion for anonymity which
Mr.. Roosevelt feels the occupants
should enjoy" Short roared above
the laughter.
Democrats Solid
Party whips kept Democrats in
their seats throughout the tumul-
tuous debate. Only one of them
stood on a rising vote on a Repub-
lican amendment which would
have made the presidents ap-
pointments subject to senate con-
firmation. Likewise they over
whelmingly defeated Democratic
attempt to get additional clerk
hire for all congressman.
Republicans conceded defeat be-
fore the debate opened and sought
only tc delay a vote by dilatory
tactics. They twitted President
RocSey cit about his defeat on the
supreme court reorganization bill;
pleaded with Democrats to write
al end to the rubber stamp" era
and condemned the measure as
further delegation of congression-
al power to the chief executive.
Democrats accused Republicans
of playing peanut poll; .cs," Of
opposing the bill because Of pure
cussedness" and pleaded expan-
sion of government as justifica-
ton for the additional White
House help.
Lindsay Warren Speaks
Rep. Lindsay Warren, D., N. c.,
brought a clatter of applause from
Democrats when he accused Re-
publican foes of "ingratitude" and
warned his own colleagues that
the mass of American people still
consider Mr.. Roosevelt their chief
hope"
Rep. John Taber, r., N. Y, cri-
ticized Warren for raising the
party issue and said the bill pro-
vided only six new errand boys
between the president and the de-
partments." Rep. Hamilton Fish,
Jr., r., n. Y, warned the house
that the measure is another step
toward the establishment of die
ratCrship."
These six men may become a
secret service for the president"
