Staunton Paper Asks
Glass 10 See Citizens,
Discuss Inactivity
Hy the Associated Press.

STAUNTON, Va. Feb lo-The
Staunton News Leader, which sug-
gested week ago that Senator
Glass resign because of what it
termed the physical inability of
Vlrginia's senior Senator to attend
70 his duties, has asked Rixey Smith
the Senator's secretary, to arrange
Tor committee of citizens to dis
cuss the matter with Senator Glass.
The paper said 1t telegraphed Mr.
Smith to arrange an appointment
for the committee for Friday, or at
another early date convenient to
the Senator, to discuss with him
the desirability of having another
active Virginia Senator"
Mr.. Smith replied, "I have turned
your telegram over to Senator Glass
to whom it should properly have
been addressed. Tonight no word
has been received from the Senator
himself"
In another editorial to be pub
hshed tomorrow the News Leader
said there is no claim that SEN
ator Glass has conferences with
other Senators, with members of the
executive branch, or with commit
tees and that obviously he is wholly
dependent upon views of Mr.. Smith
and Mrs. Glass.
Virginia did not elect Rixey
Smith Senator. The people chose
Carter Glass, believing, as they
were repeatedly told, his health
was improving and he would repre-
sent this State; if not with his
famed ability and fire, at least with
judgment, voice, and independent
vote which gained him national
prestige as fearless statesman who
would fight for the peoples inter-
ests, regardless of political influ-
ences."
The editorial said further, ''it
is reasonably clear Mr.. Smith and
Mrs. Glass have abrogated author
ity which they have no possible
right to exercise and that the peo-
pie of Virginia are being denied
representation by their duly elected
Senator"
The paper also repeated its re-
quest of a week ago that Mrs. Glass
urge her husband to resign.

the latter was justified during the
existence Of the manpower short
age" he added.
He touched on what he termed
frequent confusion OF the public
with respect to the italian service
units which, he asserted, while still
prisoners of war, are prisoners OF
a special status"
Under the Geneva Convention,
Gen. Hayes explained, prisoners Of
war may not be assigned to work
directly connected with the war
effort"
But when Italy became q CO.
belligerent, he said. many italian
captives here voluntarily waived this
provision.
Thousands are now engaged in
speeding supplies to the fighting
fronts. In return for this -. GER
tain supervised forms Of entertain
ment are available to them,D the
general said.
He concluded: 'The straight pris-
oner Of war is never entertained.
When not working, he is behind
barbed wire. And if he does not
work, he is placed on bread

Action taken by the Government
yesterday to divert more meat to

countries was an order requiring
Federally inspected slaughterers to
set aside 10 per cent instead of the

The indicated reduction in total

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee ended three weeks OF
hearings on the proposed United
States Mexico water treaty yester-
day as Gov. Warren asserted in
California that no one would read
the lengthy record.
"A record of more than 1,100 pages
Of testimony already has been built

the proposed pact as bad"
Numerous witnesses from affected

Yesterdays inquiry into the treaty
which would distribute waters of the
Colorado and Rio Grande Rivers
was marked with clashes between
Committee Chairman Connally and
Senator johnson, Republican, of
California and contentious that
some witnesses had been lobbying.
F. j. Upton, consulting engineer
for the Committee of Six States,
which Is supporting ratification of
the pact, was testifying when Sena-
tor Connally announced that he had
been informed by several Sena-
tors" that California witnesses have
been lobbying against the treaty.
When Senator johnson questioned
this, Chairman Connally repeated:
Il happen to know that they have. "
There has been lobbying on the
other side, too," the Californian
commented.
1.-The other side would be fools
if they didn't lobby with Is or 20
witnesses here from the Imperial
Valley in California lobbying to
defeat the treaty." retored Senator
Connally.
An earlier brush had occurred
over the length of time taken by
Senator Downey, Democrat. of Cali
fornia in cross-examining witnesses
testifying for the treaty. Senator
Connally said this was too pro-
longed.
New Proposal Planned.
Senator Connally announced that
he would introduce for the record
tomorrow what he stated was a pro-
posal by the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict for the sale of water and power
to Mexican interests from Colorado
River projects.
Il would introduce it now, except
Senator Downey is not here, and !
want him to be present." he de-
clared.
Mr.. Upton, who testified that he
had assisted the State Department
in negotiating and drawing up the
treaty, was questioned regarding q
provision under which in cases OF
extreme drought the guaranteed
l 500 900 acre-feet of water allot-
ment to Mexico from the Colorado
annually could be cut.
Senator LaFollette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin said he felt the treaty
lacked a clear definition Of what an
extraordinary drought would be
Mr.. Upton said perhaps this point
should have been more fully dis
cussed by the negotiators. but he
felt they relied upon the precedent
of similar provision contained In

Butter Production Falling;
Dairy Review Indicated
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, ]

BY MALCOLM LAMbORNE, VI.
Butter production in the United
States continues to show steady
decline from December, with indi-
cations that the War Food Admin
istration may request Economic
Sterilization Director Vinson to re-
view the whole dairy industry price
structure, it was learned last night.
Traditionally, butter production
begins to increase at the close of
a year and reaches a peak in June.
Since the first of the year, how
ever, the trend has continued down.
ward, according to the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. The bureau
report for the week ending Febru-
airy shows butter production was
IL per cent less than for the same
period year ago.
VIA officials agree that one of
the important factors in the drop
is the price structure. 1t is more
profitable for producers to sell whole
milk for processing into powdered
milk, ice cream mix and other prod
ucts than sell the butterfat for
manufacture into butter.
Increase Urged.
The normal price relation between
butter and cheese, for instance, is
two to one. The factory price OF
cheese, including a, subsidy, is 81
cents, while the Chicago price .oi
butter with subsidy is 46 cents. II
the normal relationship were car
ried out, the butter price would be
81 cents, it was pointed out.
VIA, the Office of Price Admin
istration and the stabilization direc-
tors Office have been under pressure
from the dairy industry to raise
the price of butter as means o1
lessening the shortage.
While the OPA is opposed to ar
increase which would affect the con-
suner, some VIA sources favor
such an increase.
Subsidy Increase Suggested.
One alternative to fiat increase
In butter price would be an increase
in the 5-cent-a-pound subsidy paic
producers by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. This would be &C.
companied, according to one author
ity, by a general equalization pro.
gram on prices of all dairy products

Dr. 4. B. Cole
 Addresses Group

Dr. Allan B. Cole, professor of history at Oberlin college, now on leave and serving in military intel ligence at Yale university, addressed members of the Sustaining Group of the Waterbury Junior League at the final luncheon meeting of the season yesterday at The Elton.
 In his talk on Americas Interest in the Far East Recovery, Dr. Cole discussed the economic and social aspects on ancient imperial China and its recent change from nation whose people thought in terms of the family unit and whose govern ment and banking system were con- trolled by the large and middle-size landowners to 8 nation to which war has brought the need for in- naturalization and central govern ment.
 The United States, the speaker said, expects to play an active part in the reconstruction of China after the war. She will be influenced by altruism, by the desire to cultivate a future market for surplus goods, and to have China as a balance be- tween Russian and Japan. China, aided by the United States, Russian and England, and governed by more liberal and enlightened policies, with agrarian reforms and without pres- sure from the western countries, may look forward to a rapid devel- opment in future years, the speaker stated.
 Born in Japan, Dr. Cole spent his early years in China, and received his B. A. degree from Redlands un- iversity, California. He received his M. A. and Ph.D. from the univer- sity of Chicago. He specialized in Far Eastern history and interna- tional relations and has taught at the University of Texas. He has published book on American-Jap- anese relations and 8 more recent book With Peary in Japan.
