. RESTORATION OF . FARM BILL CUTS

WILL BE SOUGHT

Midwestern Bloc Will Attack

Huge New Expenditures For U. S. Defense. °

" WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (U, P.).— The Congressional economy battle continues in the Senate today when a $1,138,693,528 independendent offices appropriation bill comes up for | &

consideration. .

However, the major pressure of the farm bloc will be directed to-

House.

Although some changes

may be made, there was every indi-

cation that it would go back to the House at about .its' present figure. Ther House probably will continue its economy drive .by opposing Senate additions. ~ Major attack appeared to be centered on the CAA appropriation for maintenance and operation of air navigation facilities. The Senate Appropriation’s Committee cut $1,000,000 from the $12,000,000 approved by the House.

F. D. R. Cites Statistics Meanwhile, advocates of more farm funds were expected to cite as an argument President Roosevelt's defense yesterday at Hyde Park of this country’s financial position. He cited statistics to support his claim that the New Deal is heading the national economy toward complete recovery and a balanced budget and challenged his opponents to prove that the country is “going bust” under his administration, Mr. Roosevelt, in presenting a report of his seven years of stewardship as President, warned of the danger of abrupt and drastic cur-

tailment of Federal expenditures

and said that his figures, prepared | by Administration agencies, should prove formidable for anyone seeking to prove that the country “is going bust.”

Claims Overall Debt Cut His warning against curtailment

of expenditures on a large scale re-! called that last week he warned the |

house that he could not be responsible for agricultural economy if his “bedrock budget” for the farm program was cut. The House ignored his protest, cutting nearly $67,000,000 from his recommendations. Mr. Roosevelt challenged critics, who contend that the United States is near bankkruptcy, to refute his argument that the national income has soared to $70,000,000 under his Administration, while overall debts for Federal, county. city and state governments did not advance beyond 1933. levels. Further, he said, individual and corporation debt is less than it was in 1932 and private debts have been drastically liquidated, making the overall debt total actually less than it was eight years ago.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (U. P).— Securities and Exchange Commission officials said today that they would approve flotation of Finnish Government bonds in this country provided the war risk is cited in the registration statement. : The Senate Foreign Relations Committee considers at its meeting today such a bond sale as a possible substitute for plans already before it for extending a Government loan to Finland. SEC Chairman Jerome Frank, has been called as a witness.

A cushion of snow for streets; a parka of snow for cars; a halo of snow for trees—Indianapolis had them all today.

crimes of violence was also voted for the G-Men. Thurman W. Arnold, head of the justice anti-trust division, won an increase of $41,000 over the budget estimate for his drive on illegal business combinations and practices. The division was given $1,250,000, a decrease of $59,000 from current funds, but $49,000 above the | budget. In the State Department appropriation, the Committee cut $50,000 from the budget estimate for the proposed special division of commercial treaties and agreements, to be set up for trade negotiations.

{It allowed only $175,000, pointing out that the reciprocal trade agreements law expires in June and that if it is re-enacted a deficiency. ap‘propriation may be granted. In all the State Department got $20,162,000, ‘a reduction of $679,006 from the budget; Commerce $34,080,500, a reduction of $443,930 from the budget, and Justice $42,391,000, 'a reduction of $809,620. The Federal Judiciary was given $10,745,500, a reduction of $352,454.

Peace Prospects Dim,

'Hull Tells Committee WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (U. P.).— Secretary of State Cordell Hull has advised Congress there is noc prospect for an early peace in Europe. Hearings of a House appropria-

revealed that in discussing how much money the department needed next fiscal year, Mr. Hull said “it now appears certain” that the present. “strain and dangers may continue for a indefinite period.” “It is inevitable,” he said, “that this will undermine the health and morale of faithful and courageous employees of this Government, and it is an obligation of the highest orger that the State Department be in a position to take adequate relief measures whenever necessary,”

Third .-Term and Draft

Talked in Corridors

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (U. P.).~— President Roosevelt played host today ‘to an eager Democratic National Committee, but, offered no hint of his third-term intentions. National Chairman James A. Farley said the state chairmen had a friendly conference with Mr. Roosevelt. There was third term and draft talk - in Willard Hotel corridors where the Committee met : yester-

»iday, but there was opposition as

well as an impressive actual commitment to the President for another term. The President told press conference questioners at Hyde Park yesterday that he was tired of thirdt:rm speculation and that newspaper efforts to learn his plans were silly. Those plans will be disclosed, he said, at a time of his own choosing rather than on a schedule selected by newspapers. Meantime, Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet associates and others, including such notable New Dealers as Sgnator Claude Pepper {(D. Fla), Senator Joseph PF. Guffey (D. Pa.), and National Committeeman Patrick Nash of Illinois are beating a lusty third-term tattoo. Uncertainty over Mr. Roosevelt's intentions may. have been a factor yesterday in curbing Democratic National Committee enthusiasm and in the strange lack of rebel yells, ovations and whooping appleuse which have marked every

major Democratic political gathering since Mr. Roosevelt took over in 1932. Most Committee members who would state a public preference at all said they were for a third term. But mention of Mr. Roosevelt's name on several occasions failed to arouse more than a wave or two of applause and on one or two occasions’ there was not even a ripple. Similarly, Vice President John N. Garner got only four or five seconds of hand clapping when he took his bow. There was no sustained acclamation for anything or anybody at yesterday's meeting where Chicago —backed by Mr. Roosevelt—nosed out Philadelphia by one vote in the contest to be 1940 host to the Democratic National Convention.

Farley to Set Time In some indeterminate degree, selection of Chicago was a test of New Deal and conservative strength in the Committee. But it was not a definite test py any measure although the Committee did the usual thing in rejecting certified checks for $125,000 from Philadelphia and $200,000 from Houston, Tex. It accepted the oral promise of Mayor Edward J. Kelly that Chicago would meet the Philadelphia offer which totaled $150,000 when the check was added to certain additional pledges, also oral. Republican hopes of holding their convention after Democrats meet faded when Mr. Farley was empowered ‘to fix the time of the convention at his own convenience. Mr. Farley assured committee members he would make selection the day after Republicans choose their time and city. ; G. O..P. Meeting Feb. 16

The Republican Committee meets here Feb. 16 and G. O. P. headquarters today said it was expected that both the time and place of their convention would be fixed then. Chicago and Philadelphia will | be bidding, also, for the Republican! meeting. In an 1l-state regional conference organized - by: ‘Democratic State Chairman Calvin W. Rawlings of Utah, representatives of Western states, decided to meet within a month prior to the Democratic National Convention to draft a Western platform. Participating states were: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The pre-convention meeting will be held in Salt Lake City and will include state chairman and vice chairmen and National Committee members with a view to making the “voice of the West more audible” in party affairs. The platform itself still is in the study stage and no effort was made yesterday to stampede the Westerners to any program or candidate. The 11 states control 130 delegates. Chairman John D. M Hamilton of the Republican National Committee scoffed at the Democratic procedure and indicated that the Republicans would fix both the time and place of their convention on schedule at the Committee meeting next week. “Can it be,” Mr. Hamilton asked,

Short Skirts Bring Long Faces to Farmers: ~ Dieting Problem That Crops Up (and Down)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (U.P). — Uncle Sam —not Confucius — say “women’s short skirts add to farmer’s troubles.”

That, explains the Census Bureau, |

is because it takes less cotton to make a short skirt than a long one. It would take a million bales of cotton to cover women’s legs from the knees to the angles. So, the surplus of cotton goes up and down with the hem of women’s skirts. The city man’s gain is the farmer’s loss. Uncle Sam—in a pamphlet issued by the Census Bureau—also say “fat women make farmer happy, thin woman make him sad.” «Every time a fat woman diets off a pound of surplus flesh she takes money out of farmers’ pockets. “Dieting has hit hard some of the
