USDA officials are concerned about
growing imports of cotton textiles from
Japan and other countries. This influx OF
foreign cloth is resulting from the 279o re-
duction in U.S. tariffs on unbleached cotton
cloth negotiated by the State Department
last spring This flood of imports comes
right at the time when efforts are being
made to expand domestic markets for cot
ton to relieve the surplus production prob
lem.
There is evidence that crop controls are
speeding the trend toward bigger and fewer
farms. Farmers who find their acreage al
lotments too small for efficient use of their
power equipment are inclined to solve the
problem by buying more land. In 1954-55,
about third of the farms sold were added
to other farms to make them larger. Some
SO, 900 Individual farms, and $4,000 farm
families, disappeared in the process. Only
10000 new farms were established from
parts of existing farms

Party Election
Approval Due

The House today was ex.
lpected to pass a compromise bill
to provide for an official and
regulated election in the District
for the first time In longer than
81 years.
This would be for the election
of party officials in connection
with the national conventions
where Presidents are nominated,
even though bona flde District
residents may not vote on who
lis finally elected.
The Senate late yesterday
adopted the conference report
on election of District delegates
to national political party con-
Iventions. Only relatively minor
matters remained in dispute
with the House.
Only one minor concern re-
manned. So far. Congress has
appropriated no money to pro-
vide for the cost of the board
|of elections that would super
wise the party elections. This
was recommended in recent
fund bills but was left out be-
cause the basic legislation had
not yet been enacted. Some off,
cials said. however, this could
be rushed through early in jan
uary.

ion between the transit company

Cormack gave him a frantic sig
nal. Judge Smith went over to
see Mr.. Mccormack. He came
back to the press conference mo-
ments later to say there would
be an immediate meeting of the
House Rules Committee at the
request of the leaders.
Then, Mr.. Mccormack came by
to say both he and Speaker Ray
burn had asked Mr.. Smith to
have the Rules Committee con-
slider a rule.
Reporters rushed TO the Rules
Committee. But other business
was involved, and it was Is min
utes before Rules members got
there. They had a brief meeting.
Chairman Mcmillan of he House
District Committee was ready to
testify. So was Representative
Harris. Democrat of arkansas,
who had carried the load of the
work Of defending the committee
bill.
Most Rules Committee mem
bers knew what it was all about,
so they didn't ask the proponents
to say all they had said on the
floor.
The question of seizure-a la
the Senate bill-was brought up,
and some Rules Committee men,
bers SAID they didn't want any
part Of it. For instance, Repre-
sentative Brown. Republican of
Ohio, said he thought the House
bill made more sense than the
Senate measure. because the Sen
| ate bill involved seizure.
No Compensation
Under the House bill, there
would be no seizure, and no COM
pensation to the Capital Transit
Co" be said, except for any
losses in operation during Dis
trlct Government operation of
transit company"
| Representative Brown brought
out also there would be no profits
to the company if there was a
negotiated District Government
operation in the next year, but
some others said there would
have to be paid salaries to COM
pany officers.
Other Rules Committee mem
bers raised the question as to
whether the Senate would agree
to the House bill. The answer
was that If it didn't, there would
be no legislation.
Earlier in the House, when It
was operating under the two
thirds rule on vacating House
rules, the District Committee bill
was hotly defended and de-
nounced.
Representative Harris, sharply
defending the committee bill, de-
clared that. as the measure came
to the House, there would be no
"windfall" to the company. Re-
visions. he said, had taken care
of this.

Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican Of Michigan. blasted
the House bill. He recalled there
had been an earlier strike, after
which he had proposed drastic
legislation. He said that had
come to nothing. He denounced
the present House bill as being
not worth the paper it's written
on because it injects Congress
into the labor dispute without
coming up with any solution.
He made the arguments that
the Capital Transit Co. can't do
anything until it gets authority
from its stockholders, that there
is no limitation placed upon what
the District or the company can
give to the union to get it to end
the strike and that tax money
will have to make up any defl-
cheney.
This" said the vocal Mr.
Hoffman. lis no way to legislate.

man during his fight on the bill

Speaker Rayburn banged his

Chairman Mcmillan said the
bill was designed to assist the

will the House bill let them

have been doing?" Mr.. Roosevelt
asked. He understood the Senate
bill was stronger than the House
bill. he said.
Harris Explains Bill
Representative Harris ex-
planned the purpose of the bill
in detail. pointing out that he
opposed what he called a wind
fall" provision requested by the
company.
The company, he said, had
hoped to begin liquidation before
the full year Of operations sur
rendering the franchise.
The bill was amended, MIR.
Harris said, to prevent sale of
streetcars or buses earlier and to
assure that the District Com

Mr.. Hoffman. most ardent
opponent of the bill, said this

he said.

the company and Commission

nothing until it has the stock
