quires the Government to make
loans on q basis Of 50 to IS per
cent Of old parity prices. When
Mr.. Wallace's calculators figured
the price Of parity for April 1t
came to the astounding total OF
S1.15 per bushel.
This means loans on wheat
could be made no lower than
60 cents per bushel, but the
price Of wheat at the farm may
soon be considerably less than
that. It Is now about 80 cents.
Now If Wallace is going to
lend at q price above the market,
It will mean pegging the price
above the world market, loss Of
the export market, and an en-
ormouS accumulation Of wheat
by the Federal Government.
Under ordinary circumstances,
you would think that wallace

The Wheat Crop

TUE inside guessing which Mr..
L Wallace's experts are doing
on the wheat crop prospects Is
not easing his pain either.
Their best guess for the crop
year beginning July / Is $685.
600, 1000 bushels which would be
the fourth largest supply in his
tory, exceeded only in the years
1890, 1881, and 1882. On this
basis they expect a carry-over Of
400, 100000 bushels, compared
with the normal carry-over Of
210 to 225 million bushels.
The crop now in the ground
Is officially estimated at about
1000, 100000 bushels, the win
ter production being 754,000, 900
and spring upwards Of 200,-

REORGANIZATION
DELAY LAID TO
BARKLEY'S RACE
bill Sidetracked to Let
Senator Get Home
BY EARL GOODWIN

a COQITOlI1QR 1aCVOf In SIDE
tracking the plans to revive the
reorganization bill was Senator
Barkley's intense desire to shut up
the Senate shop and 60 home to
his campaign for denomination.
The President, feeling until the
last moment that the House could
be whipped into shape for q New
Deal victory, let it be known that
he was interested-but not insis-
tent. However, to his quartet of
congressional leaders he undertook
to let down his back hair, figur-
atively Of course, and tried to work
out o sure-fire must" plan
whereby the reorganization bill
could be enacted-and thus pro-
vide another notch in the handle
Of the New Deal political gun.
KENTUCKY ROW
But the President also has

ton. About the worst internal
mess the Democrats have had on
their hands for years past Is the
uprising Of the Happy" Chandler
faction In Kentucky, threatening
to unseat the party's senatorial
leader.
It would be bad enough to lose

publican senator from the Blue
GrasS-hut to have him cut down
by q member Of the party! It is
unthinkable-from q party stand
point-as expressed by many q sad
Democrat who hated to see the
party indulge in internecine strife.
So the President, finding out
surely that his leaders had no
stomach for another fight in the
House, turned to the idea Of q
Senate maneuver, whereby the
Senate would pick UP the two
House bills for reorganization re-
posing on the Senate calendar and
pass them. This opened to Senator
Barkley'S sad and Mortified eyes
the vision Of q protracted all.
summer session. The Senate could
keep itself in session BY the pro.
cess Of amendment after amend

on another torrent Of debate.

enced on the wages-hours bill.
Nothing has occurred IL the way
Of news from home to give any
one the idea that the country Is
in a state Of uproarious approval
Of the reorganization bill, which
was pigeonholed largely because
Of the cry of dictatorship" Ad-
ministration friends are sore be-
cause Of that cry-they say 1t has
no basis in fact-but they admit
it was an effective way to stop
the bill.
Neither Speaker Bankhead nor
Majority Leader Rayburn were
anxious to get into that fight
again; each put great effort into
the unsuccessful fight before;
and were not willing to under
take it again for what they antici-
pated was another certain defeat.
And 50 the President, bowling
to the inevitable, and having his
old friend, Dear Alben" Barkley'S
convenience and fortunes in mind,
ruefully checked off the reorgani-
zation bill-as something dead in
this session-but to be revived
again in the next Congress.

QUINN TO MAKE SECOND VISIT AFTER 6. OF 6. BID
Scranton to Lose Boston Bees Farm Club;
 Action Soon

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 28-(UP)- President Bob Quinn of the Boston Bees National league baseball club was expected here early next week to look into facilities for possible establishment of his Scranton, Pay minor league team in this city.
 Quinn, it was reported at Boston, has decided finally to withdraw the Eastern league team from Scran- ton, and would like to locate the team closer to the Hub.
 Other Pennsylvania cities have petitioned the Bees president to lo- cate the team in their communi- ties, but Hartford was believed to have as well chance as any other place.
 Last week, the Chamber of Com merce wrote Quinn, advising him of facilities and enthusiasm here Tor minor league baseball. Quinn was reported well satisfied with the local playing field, but in- dicated at former visit extensive alterations may have to be made to the stands.
 There has been no class A base ball in Connecticut since the North eastern league, which followed the old Eastern league, collapsed through lack of patronage several years ago.

Nears Class A Baseball Franchise
Great Ice Show At N. H. Arena In February

New Haven, Jan. 28-The stage had Weber and Fields, the screen had Charlie Chaplin, and now the ice world has Shipstad and John son, considered the greatest com- edians ever to don skates.
 Last year their antics convulsed more than 8 million people. Packed houses saw them perform in New Haven last year. Their pantomime Bowery act earned an even dozen encoreS.
 A week from Monday, Shipstad and Johnson return to New Haven headlining a cast of 50 famous skaters in the "Ice Follies of 1888" with three brand new comedy acts. They have been skating together for ten years and have reduced buf- fonery on skates to fine art Even if their routine never provi; ed a laugh, their timing, rhythm ard ex- act synchonization is one of the outstanding achievements in the professional skating world.
 Original
 Besides clowning on skates, Ship Stad and Johnson are responsible for the origin and success of the Follies. They were the first to sense the growing popularity in ice car- nivals and, with Ed Malche, former Olympic secretary, they gathered the cast and started the first Fol- lies tour. It was a tremendous suc- cess.
 Now in it's third season, the Fol- lies is without a rival in the skating world. Bess Ehrhardt, beautiful Wisconsin girl, is the star and she has no rival in ballet and acro- batic skating. Roy Shipstad, the worlds professional champion and often called "the spinning top," is co-starred with Miss Ehrhardt.
 Nearly 4,000 people were turned away when the Follies appeared at the Arena last year. For this req son, this years edition with new faces, complete new routine, gor- geous new costumes and lighting ef- fects has been booked for six con- secutive nights beginning on Mon- day, February 2.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-28

Climax to the first round of the basketball tourney of the Washing ton Park Community House will be written tonight, with the four lead- ing teams meeting in two spectacu- lar tilts. The first-place Raymond Hillies will meet the Baldwin Preps in the preliminary; while in the feature tilt the Gents of the Hill will meet the WelleS.
 Results of either game may have startling effect upon the champion ship of the first round.
 Victory for the Hillies, accom- panied by loss for the Gents, will automatically give the treasured title to the Doughboys, who won last years championship almost thumbs down. On the other hand, the Gents, who by the present-date standing are the only team disput- ing with the Hillies over the title, must win tonight, and then defeat the Baldwin Props in play-off of a tie game, in order to cop the crown.
 Both teams are facing opposition of the toughest quality tonight, and two whirlwind games are expected to attract the largest crowd of the current season to the closed-in court. Should the Gents win and the Hil-
