Atlanta, Ca, July 6.-(AP)-Agri-

Clearing skies in most states led to

Alabama and Mississippi agricul-

of only half a cotton crop in some

said the cotton outlook was mot as
good as last year." Boil weevils were
blamed for much Of Alabama's lint

Most states pictured prospects as
''good" or showing Improvement.

Rev. Eugene J. ,McGinnes, bishop Of

Church for racial persecution, and

said, in explaining that the Nazareth
orphanage here would gladly take
200 if Congress permitted 10000 to
enter, cas- an expression Of our con-
tempt for the racial prejudice and
national ideology that are responsible
for the horrible situation in Germany
and other countries today"
The bishop called on other or
phanages to offer haven to German
refugees.
eff the government agrees to take
these children into the country" he
said, "and they cannot all be given
private homes, I think our orphan
ages should be in a receptive mood"
The bishop revealed that he would
ask a nursing sisterhood in his
church to establish a hospital here

Tie Vote On
Term
Amendment
Both Measures, How
ever, Go to Senate
Floor for Final Deci-

in Relief Gets Right of
Way in House

Washington, July 6.-(AP)-Amid
current political speculation over a
third term for President Roosevelt,
the Senate Judiciary Committee vot-
cd down today a proposal to bar any
President from running again.
Rejected by ten to two vote, was
4 constitutional amendment asked by
Senator Wiley, Republican, Wiscon-
sin. which, if ratified, would prevent
any one who had served as president
OF president from serving in the
same office again.
The committee also divided, seven
to seven, on proposal for single
siX-year term for future presidents
ard Vice-preSidents. Senator Burke,
Democrat, Nebraska, its sponsor, said
ii would not bar President Roose-
Welt from third term.
After the tie vote on the single
term proposal, the committee voted
to report both proposed constitution
al amendments with a record of the
committee vote on each. A tie vote
on the proposal defeats it.
On the House side, the rules COM
miltee held a lively session on Wheth-
e. to give the Hatch bill, designed to
ban politics in relief, right of way
on the floor. Representative Demp-
Sey, Democrat, New Mexico, assert
ed the bill had been stalled long
enough.
War Referendum Sent Up.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
refused its approval of two war re-
ferendum proposals, but agreed to
send them on to the Senate for con-
sideration. One proposal calls for a
constitutional amendment requiring
a popular vote on a declaration of
war for warfare overseas. The
other would put the final decision
ON a declaration up to Congress after
referendum was held.

Britain Will Send
Planes to France
AS Demonstration

London, July 6.-(AP)-The
air ministry announced tonight
that five squadrOns of British
planes would be sent to France
to take part in Bastille Day exer-
cises July IA. The ministry did
not connect the announcement
with the European situation, but
several quarters had been urg-
ing the government during the
past w1a,k to send air forces to
the continent as warning to
Germany.
There also have been sugges-
tions in the House of Commons
that Britain send part of her
navy to the Baltic as demon
stration of her determination to
prevent changes in the status
of that region, but SO far the
government has announced no
decision ON this point.
When Prime Minister Cham
berlain was questioned about
this possibility yesterday. he re-
piled that the government would
take any steps which were con-
sidered necessary or desirable"

Despite Republican arguments that
the action was illegal, the Senate

store these powers and the Presi-
dents authority to devalue the dollar.
The decision, reversing an earlier
Senate stand, was occasioned by a
break-up in the unique coalition OF
Republicans and silver state Demo-

valuation power. Several silverites
