Iwenty-two Dead lnHurricane
 Rodesia

RODESIA, La, Feb. IS, (P)-- A roaring tornado that dipped into the industrial section of this north Louisiana oil boom town last night, brought death to at least 18 persons, injured three score others, and caused damage variously estimated at between two hundred and fifty thousand and four hundred thousand dol lars.
 Ten bodies were counted in the morgues in Atlanta, and six oth- CTS lay in Shreveport. Doctors treated more than a score of per sons in their offices, eight of whom died.
 The storm struck at 9:42 P. M. when it blew in from the North and roared like a freight train for two minutes; it swirled along Supply Street levelling practical ly every structure in a block and a half square in area. Small frame houses collapsed like crac- ker boxes, tuunbling in on their occupants, while larger business houses swayed then fell in a big heap.

ANTITRUST SUIT
ASKS S225,000

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. IT.
Suit to collect 1925, 900 damages
was filed against five firms and
three individuals by the Helms
Concrete Pipe, Company in the
United States District Court here
yesterday, on the grounds that
they are seeking to create an Il.
legal monopoly Of the concrete
sewer pipe business in the Wash.
4ngton area.
Through its attorneys, the
Helms Company alleges that the
Arlington Concrete Pipe Corpora.
ton was organized by Richmond,
Norfolk, North Carolina and New
Jersey companies in 1884 to create
an illegal combination.
In its suit, the Alexandria com,
pany charges that the outside in.
terestS exercised their control over
the Arlington company to cut
prices below production costs in
the Washington area in an effort
to force the Helms company out
Of business.
Violations Of the Sherman anti
trust act and the Patman-Robin
son price discrimination law are
charged in the suit. Judgment for
three times the actual claimed
damages of $4,000 is asked under
authority of the two laws.

PRESIDENT GETS
ON z OF.
I MAJOR BILLS.
Only 2 More Believed
Likely to Pass
BY EARL GOODWIN

Out Of seven large legislative
items the President asked from
this Congress, he has two and
may get only two more.
He wanted:
Wages and hours legislation;
antimonopoly or antitrust action;
two kinds of housing; adequate
relief and the much-delayed
measure for the reorganization of
the Government set-up, including
the abolition of the post Of Comp
troller General, change of the
Department Of the Interior to a
department of conservation, re-
alignment Of independent COM
missions, and other points.
REORGANIZATION LIKELY
Administration scouts report
that the President may get some
form of reorganization; he will
get all he asked for in the way of
national defense and in relief. He
has the $4,000, 900, 900 additional
FHA credit to insure homes and
modernization of homes and
buildings, and the United States
Housing Administration now put
ting on extra speed under Nathan
StrauS.
There is strong doubt in Wash
Iington that the President will press
for sharp attack on monopolies,
although he is under great pres
sure to do so from such antimon-
opolistS as Senator Borah. The
A d m inistration'S anti-monopoly
campaign may take the form of
special investigation by Congress,
although there is already a mass
of information on the subject at
the Federal Trade Commission
and at the Department of Justice.
LITTLE TEAM WORK
The Department Of Justice may
be further iInplemented with pow
ers of subpoena it does not now
possess; or it may be that the
President-or Someone-will get
the Federal Trade Commission to
work more harmoniouSly on trust
matters. At present there is re-
ported to be little team work.
Congressional leaders tell the
President he may expect some
kind of a wages and hours bill"
which means a Federal law pro-
viding a floor beneath which
wages cannot fall and a ceiling
above which hours of labor can
not riSe.". If the President is
presented with a wages and hours
measure, it will probably be one
which is SO mild that there can
be no objection from any quarter.
The President has long wanted
to revamp the sprawling Set-up of
the Federal organization. He be-
lieves that Government is bound
with red tape, and entirely inef-
ficient at present. There is ap-
parently small chance he will get
all he asked. A tremendous lobby
Of Government employees, bureau
chiefs and their friends all over
the country objects to almost
every item.

FARMERS BURN
COCOA IN RIFT

ACCRA, Gold Coast, Africa,
Feb. 17.-Following a protracted
dispute between cocoa farmers
and buyers, the burning of cocoa
already has started on the Gold
Coast. The Division of Ashanti
has undertaken to destroy $4,000
tons as her share.
The farmers contend that the
cocoa-buying pool is trying to OBJ
tain cocoa much below the real
value and last October farmers
agreed that no cocoa should be
sold until further notice, while
later q native boycott of foreign
merchandise paralyzed trade on
the Gold Coast.

MOST revealing sign behind
AVA the new farm law is that
the two smartest farm political
statesman in Congress voted
against it-Republican prairie
spokesman Bill Borah and the
old Republican farm legislative
leader Charles McNary.
These two have a cloakroom
reputation as the best political
farm seers, being not-too-
Republican and occasionally
slightly new dealish.
They figured the new law
will prove to be unpopular
among average farmers. Their
deduction was based on the
fact that the law contains a lot
of regulation but does not give
the farmers Immediately any
more money than they are
getting now.
A MOTHER good inside slant
"A on the farm prospects is the
split in the Kansas delegation
In the House. -Four eastern
Kansans voted against the bill,
three western KanSanS for 1t.
The explanation offered for
such a split in the heart of the
farm belt over a farm bill Is that
the fasteners represent general
farming while the western Kan
sans are all wheat.
Fair farm judges make the
same distinction in guessing
how the new law will be received.
Farmers handling large cash
crops may be satisfied with the
prospect Of putting a bottom

ment loan provisions in the leg
