.9-CENT-A-POUND
IS PLACED
ON COTTON LOAN
Sums to One Producer
Further Restricted

A limit Of 8 cents a pound for
loans on cotton, with a further re.
striction as to the amount any one
producer may receive, has been
agreed upon tentatively by Depart
ment Of Agriculture and AAA Of
ficials for this year pending new
farm legislation at the next seS-
sion of Congress.
No loans will be made to cotton
producers, under the tentative
agreement, until after compliance
with the soil conservation pro-
gram has been established. This
would mean no payments until
after the 1888 cotton crop is har.
vested.
Department Of Agriculture Off
Gals pointed out that 10-centS-a-
pound loans on cotton, as pro.
posed in the Senate, would require
$3.50 900 900 for cotton loans on
this years 1920, 000-bale crop.
Even at 9 cents a pound, more
than $125, 100000 would be re-
quired.
AS the Government is not in
clined to make available any such
funds, the loan program will DO
restricted as to amounts to indi.
Vidual producers.

CAPITOL HEARS
SESSION IS DUE
next NOVEMBER
Call Is Expected to Take
Up Must" Bills
BY ROBERT A. McGILL

U.N.S0. Rumors Of a special
session of Congress swept Capitol
Hill today as Administration
leaders discarded important bills
in an effort to wind UP the
current session Saturday.
Sources close to the White
House admitted the special ses-
sion was being seriously con-
sidered" to enact Q five-point
program which would include a
portion Of this sessions must"
Legislative calendar Shunted aside
in the adjournment rush.
The special session legislative
calendar tentatively calls for
wage and hour legislation passed
by the Senate and now tied up
in the House: government reor-
ganization, blocked in the Senate;
general tax legislation. regional
power and land conservation de
velopment, and q general farm
program.
CALL IN NOVEMBER
Under the present plan. the
special session would be called
in November after President
Roosevelt has taken a swing
through the country to "sell'' the
voters on the session and the
legislative program.
Senators predicted privately the
special session proposal would
meet with favor, due to off-year
elections coming up in 1888. They
pointed out that in all probability
the special session would cut short
the regular second session of the
Seventy-fifth Congress, and thus
give members up for reelection a
chance to go home early and mend
their political fences.
Administration leaders, mean.
while, drove the Senate and House
toward Saturdays adjournment
goal.
BLACK UP TODAY

firm the appointment of Senator
Hugo L. Black Cd of Alabama. to

cancy created by the retirement of
Justice Willis Van Devanter, while

night by the House.
If the tax loophole bill is ready
for debate Wednesday, the Senate
probably will carry over until next

neSSee is filibuStering against the
bill, sponsored by Senator McCar.
ran Cd Of Nevada. Mcclellan de.
clared the bill will take from the

DEFICIENCY BILL
The Senate is scheduled to take
up the third deficiency bill, a fore
runner Of the adjournment reso-
luton, on Thursday. It was
brought before the House today.
The. House will consider the Wag-
ner housing bill tomorrow, one Of
the last barriers on the legislative
calendar. It has already passed
the Senate.
The remainder Of the week
probably will be spent in consid.
ering conferees reports and bills
