tration has given ground on details
in order to obtain approval Of Its
main objectives. The Government
reorganization bill now awaiting the
Presidents signature was shorn OF
authority to abolish the Office of
controller general and to revise such
independent agencies as the Inter
state Commerce Commission and
! the Civil Service Commission.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee has decided against expand
ing the social security program to
cover new groups of workers. Sem
ate leaders report that an admin
istration-supported general health
bill has been dropped, at least for
this year.
The President has made no spe-
ciflc recommendations for revising
the Neutrality Act, one of the most
important subjects still before Con-
greSS, but Senator Pittman, Demo-
crat. of Nevada has suggested that
munitions exports to warning ma
tions be placed on a "cash-and.
carry" basis. The present law bans
arms sales to belligerents under any
circumstances.
Senator Pittman already has
agreed to modify his new neutrality
bill in order to give Congress equal
authority with the President in in
voking its operation. The conten-
ton Of administration leaders al
ways has been that the President
should have full discretion.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee will begin hearings We'd

with Henry L. Stimson, Secretary
OF State in the Hoover cabinet, as
the first witness.
Cotton Surplus Problem.
Doubt was expressed generally
that action could be completed be-
fore May l when the cash and
carry provisions of the present law
expire. These let warning nations
pay cash for American goods-ex-
cept munitions-and transport
them in foreign ships.
Another problem arouSing con-
gressional concern is disposal OF the
huge cotton surplus. The Senate
called up a bill by Southern men,
bers which would release 100000
bales now held by the Commodity
Credit Corp. to growers who agreed
to curtail acreage.
The cotton, on which the Gov
ernment has advanced loans, would
be returned to growers who paid 3
cents a pound for it. The plan
would bring the Government a $o0,-
100000 loss on the existing loans.
Chairman Jones, Democrat, of
Texas OF the House Agriculture
Committee suggested that the Gov
ernment subsidiZe domestic use Of
cotton products and export sales Of
Manufactured cotton goods.
Middle Western Senators formed
q new corn-wheat-dairy alignment,
meanwhile, to work for a compre-
hensive farm program. Members
OF the group said they would seek
a harmonious understanding with
cotton-State Senators on general
farm policy.

No Hair Cut Contest
Of -Four Youths Now
In Third Month
Special Dispatch to The Star,

LEONARDTOWN, Nd, April
3.-Add to the list Of novelty
contests a hair-growing COM
petition now being engaged in
by four youths who have de-
cided to find out for themselves
how long one can go without
having ones hair cut.
They are Walter Duke,
Thomas Shadwick, Jack Ham
ilton and Kenneth Duke and
each is determined to outstay
the others. The penalty the
first one having his hair cut
must pay is to advance the cost
for haircuts for the other three.
The contest is now in its third
month and none has weakened.
While their hair grows, the
whole town smiles, all except
the barber, who hopes the idea
won't spread.

DevoIuine Power
By the Associated Press.

The House Coinage Committee
approved a bin today to continue
for two years the Treasurys ST.
5000 900 sterilization fund and
the Presidents power to devalue the
dollar further.
The measure also would renew
for two years the presidential au-
thority to provide for unlimited
coinage of silver and the purchase
Of newly mined domestic silver at a
price above the world level.
Under present law, the three
monetary powers would expire next
June 30.
Before approving the BILL by a
vote which members said was 8 to S
along party lines-the committee
wrote in an amendment to require
the Treasury to report to Congress
once a year on operations Of the
stabilization fund.
Devaluation Fight Seen.
Committeeman said they expected
fight when the bill reaches the
House floor, against the silver pur-
chase and dollar devaluation pro-
visions. Opponents of the latter,
chiefly Republicans, have contended
the existence of authority to alter
the gold content of the dollar had
an unsettling effect on business.
Meanwhile, congressional leaders
began to speed up the legislative
machinery in an apparent desire to
sidestep controversies and hasten
adjournment.
AS the session began its fourth
month, they noted that the Senate
and House have disposed of only
five major bills-those authorizing
Government reorganization and
Army expansion and approving
funds for the w. P. A., independent
Federal agencies and for deficiency
needs OF various departments.
Altogether Congress has finished
action on As measures out of 1851
most of them minor ones-intro-
duced in both chambers.
As result, leaders expressed de-
termination to drop secondary pro-
posals and stick largely to the pro-
gram outlined last week by Senator
Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky.
He estimated that at least two and
half more months would be re-
quired.
Pet Bills to Be Tabled.
This would mean sidetracking
some pet measures of anti-New
Dealers. including revision Of the
Wagner Labor Relations Act and of
business taxes.
The rush for adjournment was
said to result from several causes,
among them the fact that the New
Deal legislative program was virtu-
ally completed last session; the in
creasing pressure Of political con-
siderations as 1910 approaches. and
the factional differences among
Democrats.
Some legislators speculated, too,
that the President might desire to
end the session early in order to
have a freer hand in foreign affairs.
When Congress is meeting, his every
move Is subject to the closest
scrutiny and debate on Capital Hill.

COTTON HOSIERY WINNING FAVOR HERE

Cotton is due for honors in women's hosiery.
Bureau of Home Economics experts, after year Of
research, have succeeded in making hosiery from COT
ton that is fllfashioned, sheer, and well-wear-
ing as any stockings the marke today.
Acting at the request of Congress, the experts
have been working to find market for Ameri IS
cotton surplus and at the time to give Ameri-
can wnen neW type Of hosiery.
While tests are not yet complete, the st ockings
that have been made fit well any other type Of
hosiery. Only merceri zed cotton is used ich in
addition to giving the stockings 1uster is strong
er than plain cotton yarn and absorbs perspiration
better than Or dnary yarns. The stockings have been
made In various types of weights and designs-plain
Knit Tor service weight, sheer, and some
in fancy mesh designs to meet the demands Of pre- sent
day styles.
It's not the job of the Home Economies researchers
to see that their type Of stockings gets market
ed. That's up to Rterprising manufacturers and
merchants
