ATT,ANTA. Ga.-(SNSJ-

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
City council assembled promptly
Monday afternoon at two O'Clock
in its City Hall chambers and, aft
er less than fifteen minutes pre-
1iminaries, voted IS to to adopt
the proposed BARRIERS bill. 1t had
been presented by The ordinance
and legislation committee.
The bill now passes ON to Mayor
William B. Hartsfield for approval
or Veto. If handled favorably by
the executive, the measure be-
comes city ordinance and takes
effect at an early date.
BEAUTICIANS NOT AFFECTED
The BARRIERS bill, primarily de-
signed to bring about minimum
hours and uniform prices among
licensed BARRIERS and apprentices
of Atlanta, also strikes at evil
practices in the profession char
acterized under the general head
of bootleg barbering.' The meas
ure does not affect beauticians in
any way. Those workers have a
separate organization here.
Prior to the city council session
Monday, a delegated group Of
white and colored ba5bers con-
vened with the mayor in his priv
ate offices in City Hall, seeking to
acquaint the executive with the
viewpoints of the barbering pro-
fesSiOn as a class.
MAYOR IN SYMPATHY
st am IN sympathy with what
you are trying to do" Mayor
Hartsfield said directly to Mr..
Joiner, spokesman for the assem-
bled committee of BARRIERS, "but 1
hasten to inform you that the
city simply cannot fix prices
Continuing, the mayor stated
that his final action necessarily
would be based upon a thorough
study of the present city ordinance
governing the barbering profession

Jack Savage regarding the consti-
tutionality of the measure, and
consideration of the views of the

Mayor Hartsfield stated Monday
afternoon that it is a habit Of his
to hold bills submitted to him by
council upon his desk three or four
days before acting upon them so
that all dissenSers possible, if pro-
per approach is made, may be
heard. This mean that the city
executive may delay any action
whatever on the bill until the
week. end.

Chairman Outlines
World Wheat Situation

nations have been taking less
wheat than formerly and this has
affected every wheat exporting
nation. In Is years, world outlets
for wheat exports have shrunk rs
per cent
Europe supplies the best exam
pie of the trend away from wheat
imports. During the eos, Euro
pean nations bought about 30 per
cent of the worlds wheat exports.
But since the peak of the eos, the
% wheat importing countries of
Europe have cut their imports
more than one-third, in spite of
the fact that the largest importer,
Great Britain, has continued to
use about 200 million bushels an
nually.
About 80 per cent of the drop
in European imports is accounted
for by Italy, Germany and
France. Imports of wheat into
Italy have fallen 78 per cent. Italy
formerly was the largest importer
of wheat on the continent. Ger
many, once the second best con-
tinental customer for, foreign
wheat, has cut imports by 80 per-
cent. France, while not a large or
steady buyer, has saved about 80
per cent from the amount of her
wheat imports. Small European
countries have been responsible
for most of the remaining decline.
What are the reasons behind
these facts? For one thing, Euro
pean countries are encouraging
greater wheat production at
home. Another reason is that
these nations are using various
means to keep out foreign wheat.
AS a result, the United States,
along with other wheat exporting
nations, must face the fact that
return to the high export level of
the 20's is very improbable. A
worldwide reduction of wheat
acreages is necessary if wheat
farmers hope to receive fair
prices.

LOOKING BACK OVER so YEARS

we can't remember of any civic organization
that showed the real true community spirit
as the village band which furnished enter
tainment and music in the SOS and COS
Clad in il-ftting uniforms (of which they
were PROUD and supplied with band instru-
ments, generally of the nickle plate variety,
the band men did their job and did it with
the real spirit, and gusto; harmony many
times was lacking. We can remember back
in the old days when our band, The Nickle
Plated band of Lake Wilson would get into
hay rack at 10 at night and drive all night
long to get to Valhalla or Teepeotah to fur
nish music the next day, for which they only
received expenses. The baseball teams were
also in the same class. They hoped they
would take in enough money to buy new
ball for the next game. Times have changed,
haven't they. But has our community spirit
gained.-Lake Wilson Pilot

"A Look at Congress on One
|Of Its Duller Days
By PRESTON GROVER

WdSnlngIOn-A spring day IN
the House of Representatives:
The House clock, wreathed in
gilded fruit, twitters electrically
toward the noon hour. The House
meets at noon. Committee sessions
occupy the morning. A hundred
spectators are scattered about the
1000 gallery seats. Some are non
chalantly reading newspapers.
That will stop promptly at IL
noon. No paper reading allowed in
the galleries when the House is in
session.
One member, Representative
Powers of New Jersey, sits alone
in the center of the chamber,
scowling over Congressional
Record. Somebody abuse you in
there, Mr.. Powers?
Representative Treadway of
Michigan arrives, walks across the
well in front of the speakers
desk, and out again. Too early. 1t
is three minutes to IL. In another
minute half dozen arrive, then
a score. The Republican side
draws them fastest. That is be-
cause of Joe Martin of Mass/.
chusetts, the minority leader. He
keeps his men on the floor and as
a compact bloc they have dealt
the Democrats rough blows this
session.
Representative Tabor, Republic
can of New York, comes in, tall,
belligerent. He will object to
something or other during the
day.
Bald and stocky Majority Lead
er Rayburn of Texas comes in
from side door and marches to
a special microphone. Says Moth
ing. Regular poker face. The din
is growing. Always din in the
House. The loud speaker system
is to drown out the whispering
and talking.
Another 'ObjectOr'
On the Democratic side Repre-
sentative Cox of Camilla, Georgia,
strolls up the aisle gesturing to a
companion. He, too, will register
an objection. Already this session
he has initiated the WPA investi-
cation, demanded removal of the
labor board. He led the House
fight against the Supreme Court
bill, and against reorganization.
Speaker Bankhead pounds with
a gaveE. 1t is IL noon Clerks are
in place around the rostrum. They
have a loud speaker, too. Two
hundred members sitting now.
The Rev. James Shera Montgom-
cry, the chaplain, rises. Like a
miracle, there is quiet. He prays
into the microphone:
almighty God, unto whom all
hearts are open, all desires
known, and from whom no secrets
are hid, cleanse the thoughts of
our hearts by the inspiration of
Thy Holy Spirit that we may per-
fectlys love, Thee and worthily
magnify Thy Holy Name"
