BYRNES SEEKS
COTTON FUNDS

QNS). Senator Byrnes CD
of South Carolina today prepared
an amendment to the third de-
ficiency bill which would author
lie an allotment of SIS. 100000 for
adjustment payments" on this
years cotton crop.
Byrnes said, however, that un-
der his plan, the money will not
be expended until the adjustment
payments" are enacted into law
as part of the farm legislation
program to be taken up at the be-
ginning of the next session of Con-
greSS.
The Byrnes plan calls for adjust
ment payments equal to the differ
ence between IL cents per pound
and the average price of seven
Fights middling cotton on the ten
spot cotton markets on the date of
sale of the cotton by producers.
1t would also impose cents per
pound limitation on the bountieS
Of the adjustment payments.
Payments to producers would be
biased on the aggregate normal
yield of the cotton base acreage
that was or could have been estab-
liShed under the provisions of the
1887 agricultural conservation pro-
gram, less the normal yield of the
maximum acreage for which a di-
version payment offer was made"
ByrneS said that unless the
money is provided for in advance
of enactment of the farm program
it may delay the Agriculture De-
partment in making the adjust
mentS.

PRESIDENT BACK,
SPECIAL SESSION
HELD UNLIKELY
Wide Demand Would
ImpeI Action, Belief
By GEORGE DURNO

uN.S). Having assured politi-
cal foes he had "just begun to
fight" to attain New Deal objec-
tives, President Roosevelt returned
to Washington this morning to see
Congress through to its expected
Saturday adjournment.
The big question mark was the
possibility of a call for a special
session later in the year because
such pet White House measures
as hour-wage legislation, crop con.
troll and governmental reorganiza-
ton were being Side-tracked in the
rush Of Congress to call it a day.
TO PRESS PROGRAM
Sources close to Mr.. Roosevelt
predicted that only widespread
demand for crop control legiSla-
ton would impel the President to
summon Congress back in advance
Of the regular January session.
The President made it plain in
his Roanoke Island speech, these
sources pointed out, that he in
tended to press his program OF i'm.
proved conditions for the poorer
classes-but they doubted that his
disappointment over failure OF
hour.wage legislation at this seS-
sion in itself would bring a special
call.
Crop control has a preferred
status on the January calendar by
agreement Of House and Senate.
The Presidents political advisers
are convinced that the coming
congressional campaign year will
produce an hour-and.wage bill
early in the January session.
MAY TOUR COUNTRY
This line of reasoning was no
bar to the possibility that Mr..
Roosevelt might take a swing
around the country in october and
hammer home in person the philos.
ophy he expounded yesterday from
Roanoke Island in connection with
the 350th anniversary celebration
of Virginia Dare'S birth.
The President denounced select
interests for using a defense Of the
Constitution as "a cloak to hide
their real design" to obtain special
privileges for themselves at the
expense of the theory of govern.
ment by majority.

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Q.N.SD. A temporary deadlock
between House and Senate con-
ferees over the sugar sterilization
bill today interposed the only
major obstacle to adjournment of
the Seventy.fifth Congress, Satur-
day night.
Sponsors of the bill were deter
mined to hold Congress in session
until it is enacted. After settling
the congressional controversy, its
sponsors hoped to win President
RooSevelt's approval, despite Ad-
ministration opposition to its pro-
visions imposing quotas on the
production of refined sugar IN
Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
HOUSING ACT STUDIED
The Administration new low
cost housing act, emasculated in
the Senate and rewritten in the
House, meanwhile was sent to con-
ference. There was a bare posi-
bility this bill might provoke a
controversy between the two
branches and tend to delay ad-
journment.
In the Senate, Administration
leaders sought prompt enactment
of their bill to close loopholes in
the income tax laws. Senator
SchWellenbach CD of Washing.
ton blocked its enactment yeSter.

The Washington times., 1937-03-02

President Roosevelt's proposal TO
reorganize the White House cuisine
has been put over without opposi-
tion. Mrs. Roosevelt said yester'
day at her weekly conference.
Henceforth, the Chief Execu-
tive's breakfasts and luncheons
will be marked by greater variety.
Yesterday, he had stuffed crab as
the main dish of the luncheon
served in his office. Said Mrs.
Roosevelt:
"Any man who eats almost ex-
clusiveIy at one place get weary
of the cooking and the food"
She explained that President
Roosevelt was fond of salt fish
for breakfast. There were six
different varieties in the White
House larder, but through some
miSsfire he had been getting the
same kind each morning. Now,
however, a rotation has been ar
ranged. .
Miss Ethel du Pont, fiancee Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., who has
been at Emergency Hospital for an
appendectomy, returned to the
white House yesterday to COM
plete her convalescence. Her
mother, Mrs. Eugene du Pont, is
a White House guest. She has
been staying with President and
Mrs. Roosevelt since her daugh-
ter was taken i'll.
Franklin Roosevelt, jr., will re-
turn today to Harvard University
to resume his studies, interrupted
by illness and a prolonged con-
valeScence. Next year he proposes
to take a law course at the Uni
versity of Virginia. John RooSe-

TAX REDUCTION
FOR TAK0MA
PREDICTED

TAKOMA PARK, Md, March 2.
Reduction of at least 80 cents in
the annual tax rate for Takoma
Park, Nd, for the fiscal year
1937-3s, was predicted here today
by J. Wilson Dodd, town clerk and
treasurer, as a result Of the general
reassessment of all town real
property just completed. ,
This revaluation just completed
by r, L. H. Jones, Milton Boil
man and c. r. Brook, resulted in
an increase of more than 81, ,OO0,-
600 to the aSsessable basis OF the
town, Dodd said.
A present tax rate OF 95 cents
Is necessary on an aSSeSsable basis
Of slightly more than $5,OOO,OO
to raise the necessary funds for
governmental expenditures. The
two million increase will permit
the Mayor and Town Council to
reduce this rate to at least IS
cents, Dodd predicted.
The only thing which might
cause smaller reduction in the
rate would be for the. town Of
ficials to inaugurate an extensive
street construction program. Moth
ing Of this kind, however, is being
considered, Dodd said.
A full report of the reasseSsment
will be compiled during a con-
ference between Dodd and the as
SCISSORS here tomorrow night. The
formal report will be submitted to
the Mayor and council during a
meeting to be held later in the
month.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, January 9.-Sellers
and buyers reached stalemate in to-
days stock market.
While some steels and specialties
pushed up fractions to 2 points, the
list encountered enough offerings to
keep most prices in restricted area.
Sentiment was fairly optimistic,
Notwithstanding continuance Of the
General Motors strike. But brokers
found many of their customers in
clined to take profits over the week
end.
The indecisive trend was shown by
the fact that, of $50 issues changing
hands, $40 we're up, 1892 down and 1877
unchanged.
At the same time dealings were ex-
ceptionally lively, with the ticker tape
frequently behind floor transactions.
Transfers of 1,448,562 shares, COM
pared with 690,66O last Saturday It
was the largest volume for a two-hour
session since November 7. The ASso-
ciated Press average of so stocks
ended at 71.6, the same as Friday.
Although motor issues held about
even during the greater part of the
proceedings. shares of truck manu-
featuring companies were given a
brisk forward tilt. The commercial
vehicle factories, it was said, are now
working at capacity and the 1886 rec
ord output in this field Is expected to
be topped substantially in the current
year.
SteelS had plenty Of ammunition
for the advance. Not only did they re-
fleet the plans of Bethlehem for heavy
spending on equipment, but the United
States Steel Corp. reported shipments
of finished steel products in Decem-
Der were the highest for any month
since 1880.
Some commission house customers
adjourned to the side lines following
perusal of the Federal Reserve Boards
monthly bulletin, which they thought
indicated bank reserve requirements
are to be given another hoist. Debit
balances with brokers at the end of
November were placed at 81 1854 ,000,-
900, the first total to better that Of
March 81, 1896, when margins were
boosted.

it seems about to dawn, they may
breathe more easily, sleep better

It is apparent that the chief debate
in Congress this Winter will center
on the question Of wages and hours OF
labor. This does not result from the
automobile strike or the issues con-
cerned in it. 1t expresses sympathy
for the social philosophy announced
in November by President Roosevelt

the calculated budget balance for next
year.
On the other hand, previous esti-
mates of receipts have been below the
actual figures. And it is only nee
essary to review the figures of in
come returns to justify his optimism.
Take. for example, the income taxes,
which, in the fiscal year 1886, were
81, 1,426 100000, in 1887 are estimated
at $2,372, 900, and are expected to
be 1885, 100000 for 1888. Other
items of receipts are likewise strongly
on the upturn. And the abnormal
expenditures are decreasing.
Debt Peak Likely.
So we have a situation in which it
appears likely that the peak of the
Nations debt is to be stabilized at
$35, 000000,000 and soon thereafter
to begin to decrease. 1t was toward

Scouting
In Nogales
BY EARL F. JACKSON

Summer is here and many of the
boys wonder what there is before
them, most of all, the Boy Scouts
of Nogales. They wonder if the
scoutmaSters are in a mood to be
approached wondering if by chance
the scoutmasters have forgotten
that there is camping trip to be
made. ve
No, the scoutmasters have not
forgotten, neither has the council
forgotten that there is a camping
trip and that the Scouts are per-
pairing themselves for these trips.
There are two troops of Scouts in
Nogales, about 65 boys, and it is
quite a program to see that each
boy is able to qualify for hikes, over
night camps and week camps at
Camp Lawton, and doing this work
is only a handful of men who give
their time to see that these boys
have some of the pleasures of boy
hood which their parents cannot
give them.
Scouting is not just for the plea
sures that the boy may receive but
to build up his character as well. AS
I have mentioned before we have
two troops of Scouts. Troop No. "a is
sponsored by the Knights Of COL

hostelers - mostly college students
who desire to make the trips.
Leisurely Trips Planned
The trips will be leisurely. Cars
will be shunted to sidings when
ever the hostelers desire to make
side trips. Broadly, the Massa-
chusetts delegation will go west to
the Pacific coast through southern
Canada and return through north
ern United States.
The two longest stopovers will be
in California and western Canada
for the Massachusetts, group and in
New England and western Canada
for the California delegation. 1t is
in those three sections that the con-
tinent's only hostel loops are situ-
ated
The three New England loops
radiate from this town near the
New Hampshire and Vermont bor-
ders. headquarters of American
Youth Hostels, Inc HostelS, mostly
converted farm-houses, are Sltu-
ated at 15-mile intervals along the
three loops which extend into the
Berkshire hills, the White noun
tains and the Connecticut valley.
California Forms Loop
A similar loop in California is
scheduled to open in June under
direction of Richard Silverthcr'1,
an instructor at Stanford Univer-
sitv who took a training course at
A. Y. H. headquarters in February.
Likewise. in the Rocky Noun
tains of western Canada, a loop Of
y hostels is scheduled to open un-
der the auspices of the Canadian
Youth Hostel Association. whose
executive secretary, Dorothy Allen Of
Calgary, Alberta, also took train
ing course here.
Cost to each rolling hosteler"
will be $99.47 or approximately a
penny a mile for use of the rail
road car plus 81 a day for Incl
dental expenses and SIS regis
tration fee.
Movement New In U. S.
Heretofore the hostel movement
in America has been con -ined to
sponsorship of European trips and
maintenance of the Massachusetts
hostels for bicycle and hiking en-
thuciasts. The rolling hostel prof.
ect was evolved by Monroe and
Isabel Smith, directors IF A. Y. H,
as means of linking the establish
ed Massachusetts loops with the new
ones.
Moro thar 9,T20 hostelcrs stayed
overnight at the Massachusetts
hostels last year, paying only 25
cents night for hunks and pre-
pairing their only food. Seventy-five
per cent travelled on bicycles and 2s
