Aiken Predicts Senate.
will Pass Long Range.
Farm Bill During Day
By the Associated Press

Senator Aiken, Republican, OF
Vermont predicted today the Senate
would approve his long-range farm
bill before closing up shop for the
night.
But Senator Aiken's plan for q
permanent system of price supports
faced q major test with resumption
of debate on the prime political
campaign issue.
Up for action was q proposal by
Senator Russell, Democrat, OF Geor-
gia to substitute for the Vermonter's
bill a House measure extending the
present price support law Is months.
Senator Russell contended the long
range program was too complicated
to be considered this late in the
session.
The Republican leadership prom
ised final action on the farm bill
today or tonight.
| Acting Majority Leader Wherry
told neWsmen he will hold the Sem
ate in session into the night, If nee
essary, to reach a decision and-n
Senator Russells amendment is
beaten townsend the measure on
to conference with the House.
Technical Amendments Adopted.
| The bill technically has been be-
fore the Senate for two full days,
but less than four hours have been
spent debating it.. 1t has been set
aside numerous times for considera-
ton of appropriations bills and veto
messages, which have priority.
When the Senate finally buckled
down to work on the bill last night,
score of amendments-most OF
them technical-Were disposed OF
rapidly.
Senator Aiken agreed to accept
amendments which would:
l. Support prices of white potatoes
harvested this crop year at 80 per
cent of parity, and in subsequent
years at from so to 80 per cent OF
parity, at the discretion of the Agri-
culture Department. parity is a
price calculated to give farmers pur-
chasing power equivalent to some
favorable period, usually l909-19l4D
The present law, which expires at
the end of the year, guarantees price
props at 80 per cent of parity.
4 2. Guarantee that If chicken
prices are supported by the Agri-
culture Department, other poultry
products will not be neglected. Price
props on chickens are not manda-
tory in the bill: they may be main
tanned at from zero to 80 per cent
of parity at the discretion of the
Secretary of Agriculture.
Sliding Scale Provided.
3. Guarantee that a 1888 900 900
fund set up in the Commodity
Credit Corp. for supporting the
prices of perishable commodities
shall remain available.
The Aiken measure would retain
the old formula for figuring parity,
but would moderniZe it to include
crop price relationships of the most
recent 10 years.
1t provides a sliding scale OF price
supports which would average about
IS per cent of parity for the six
basic crops-wheat, corn, cotton,
rice, peanuts and tobacco. All these
now are supported at 80 per cent
of parity except cotton which has
a 92ia per cent rating.
Unless Congress takes action the
present price supports would return
to the lower prewar levels. at the
end of the year.

DISTRICT GOVERNOR
VISITS K|WAN|ANS
Cooley Of Great Falls Views
Role Of Service Group and
Looks At Communism

Laurel Kiwanians were hosts
Wednesday evening to their district
governor, Harry Cooley of Great
Falls who paid his first official visit
to the Laurel club after its institu-
ton, which he attended last sum-
mer. The event was also ladies'
night.
Pres. w. A. Mccormick caused
the birthday committee, Jack Pelo-
WITT and Harold Williams, to collect
a penny per pound from Ray
Stevens, who weighed heavily. H..
Lee Hamlet and Allie Dolven in
troduced two new members, w. w.
Harden and Walter Menello. DR..
R. j. Rosselot reported concerning
the clubs livestock project, "a sow
with seven pigs.
When Governor Cooley rose to
speak he reminded the Kiwanis
members of the district convention
that will be held Aug. %, % and
"a in Billings and urged all who
could do so to attend the sessions.
He said Laurel would lose the dis
tinction of being the youngest rep
resented at the convention as an
other club will be instituted soon in
West Great Falls.
AS a member since 1880, he said
each Kiwanian has much to gain
from the organization by putting in
time, effort, thought and some
money and taking out profits great
er than the expenditures. Although
Kiwanis is not a religion, the dis
trict governor declared that Kiwan-
ians are religious, for religion is
one Of the organizations permanent
objects. The current detectives may
from year to year, but the
permanent objects remain, their
sum total being not self but service.
In connection with this he said
a Kiwanis club in a community
accomplish much by pooling
thought, work and finance for
eventual attainments far beyond
hose possible for individuals work
ng alone. He lauded the Laurel

State Teams Show Fine Records
AS They Enter Tourney Thursday
Hamilton Hopes To Duplicate Last Years Record
For First, With Hardin A Strong Bidder
For State First Place HOnOrs

"Oil City" boys entered the divis-
ional play in second place behind
Cut Bank. Whatever the cause for
that showing they found themselves,
and downed three opponents to take
the northern championship and Il
spot in this weeks tourney. The
maroon and white from Shelby has
adorned the courts of the state
tournament for the past three years,
and some of their most ardent fans
insist that the coveted title can't
evade them forever. The squad,
coached for the first time this year
by Jack ANGEL, shows a roster with
seven seniors.
Should history repeat itself from
last year, some of the four first
place fives out of the divisionals are
in for a rude awakening. In the
first round of play the four second
place clubs are matched with the
four first-place clubs. Three of the
winners went down to defeat a
year ago and a second place entry
went all the way to win the title.
Regarded as the most likely club
to do just that is the Fort Benton
Longhorns. Although carrying only
two seniors the rangy LOnghorns
have an enviable % and 6 record to
throw at the Hamilton squad when
they tangle in the opener Thursday
afternoon. Scobey is not to be
counted out since it is a repeater
to the state meet and boasts OF
nearly the same personnel this year.
Seven seniors will do much toward
the club the stability that
it through it's district unde-
feated and second out of the di-
visional. Scohey tangles with Shell
by in the second afternoon game
Thursday.
The remaining spots are held
down by two clubs who have proven
hat anything can happen in basket
1all. Both Red Lodge and Amazon
la Central played through their sea-
sons without causing too much of
/ sensation and went into the di-
,%isional play as second place clubs.
Both were defeated before the
and then dug in to win the
consolation round. In the Monday
light games they both disposed of
more favored foes in no I'M
manner, completely disre-
their previous defeat by the
anne clubs. Anaconda Central fig
Tres to be just as unimpressed by
Iardin in the second game Thurs
night when it tangles with the
Iigh-riding Bulldogs. Red Lodge
icesn't figure Dodson to be any
to beat than Laurel was
asst week, and for that matter rea-
ons that it might just as we'll go
II the way now. The first nights
