. Yet, the Mayor observed, as he pulled his muffler tighter and moved slowly up the steps toward the door, it sems to be clearer than ever. 'In St.”Louis, the Smoke Elimination Committee reported the number of thick, smoggy days the City annually endures has been cut from 39 to 11 by the campaign. Housewives report a decrease in soot and the laundries are worried over an abrupt drop in the number of curtains sent in for washing and stretching. In Pittsburgh, Mayor Cornelius D. Scully told a group of mine operators and union officials that “we've got to do something about Pittsburgh’s reputation of beipg the nation’s dirtiest City.” “Pittsburgh,” Mayor Scully is reported to have said, “is on the spot. St. Louis has put us there.”

Mayor Sullivan’s retreat toward the door and the steam heat of City Hall was noticed and when he remarked again that he “sure would like a picture” of the clear day he was reminded that a photographer was on his way and that he (the Mayor) should be in the picture. “I would like to show them over in St. Louis,” he chatteréd, but his

time the photographer arrived, he was inside, where it was warm, look-ing-out a grimy window at his beloved sunlight. Also he was creating his own indoor smog with a pipe. Anyway, there wasn’t much smoke outdoors.

URGE GONGRESS 0. K. ON DESTROYER TRADE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U, P.). —The House Naval Affairs Committee asked Congress today to ratify in effect President Roosevelt's transier of 50 over-age destroyers to Great Britain in return for leases Hn Atlantic air and naval base sites. The deal was made by the President under a legal interpretation that no action by Congress was necessary. The Committee, however, held that legality of appropriations for the new bases might be questioned. Seeking right-of<way from the House Rules Committee to bring up on the House floor tomorrow a $242,373,500 authorization measures for additional construction and new bases all the way from Trinidad and Newfoundland in the Atlantic to Gaum and Samoa in the far Pacific, the Naval Committee wrote in specific authority for the Atlantic bases. To do this it increased President Roosevelt's requests by $58,250,000. The utlimate cost of the bases will be $116,050,000.

OPPOSE BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE

30 Farm Groups Fear New Department Would Be Ruled Politically.

By EARL RICHERT

' Unexpected opposition has developed to the G. O. P. bill to create a State Department of Agriculture. J. A. McCarty, representing more than 30 farm organizations, including the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association and the Indiana Dairy Association, told the Senate Agriculture Committee yesterday that hig organizations could see no reason for.the creation of such a department. Most Republicans had expected whole-hearted support of farmers for the measure which is designed to co-ordinate the activities of the various Governmental units dealing with agriculture.

Fears Political Control

Mr. McCarty declared that Departments of Agriculture had’ been a failure in other states and that it was the general tendency for such departments to bring all"farm groups under their control, re

NEED ‘NEW MONEY’ T0 FINANGE DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U. P)). —Treasury officials today begin discussions of plans for financing’ the defense program with $13,000,000,000 of “new money,” at least $4,000,000,000 of which is expected to come

placing them under the control of politicians. Senator Howard V. Johnson (R. Mooresville), Agriculture Committee chairman, assured Mr. McCarty that it was not his intention to bring the farm organizations under the control of the department nor for the departmen®# to have anything to do with activities of the Purdue University Extension Department. Mr. McCarty said that while that might be the intention of the pre-

from the “little” investor. Under the debt limit authorization bill sent to the White House yestefday, the Government may extend its deficit financing up to $65,000,000,000. At prasent, the public debt is slightly above $46,000,000,000 and approaching the statutory limit of $49,000,000,000. In estimating the amount of “new money” that it would require in the next 17 months at $13,000,000,000, Treasury officials admitted that small investors would be able to

Wallace Opposes Move

committees to protest the proposed transfer of the Department of Entomology from his department to the proposed new Department of Agriculture. Mr. Wallace has headed the Entomology Department for the last 25 years. He said that it belongs in the State Conservation Department. The G. O. P. bill would create a seven-man Commission on Agriculture, with a Commissioner of Agriculture to be the actual administrative officer. Three members of the commission wotlld be named by the Governor, three by the Lieutenant Governor and the director of the Purdue University Experimental Station would serve as an ex-officio member.

Provides $6000 Pay

Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson would retain his present position as Commissioner of Agriculture until the expiration of his term of office. Then the commission would appoint a director, not to be the Lieutenant Governor, who would hold office for four years at a $6000 annual salary. Senator Clyde R. Black (R. Logansport), a committee member, said he could see no reason for creating a new $6000 position when the Lieutenant Governor could continue to hold that position as he is now doing.

Frank Wallace, Conservation De-| partment head, appeared before the

help only fo a limited extent. Therefore, it was believed that several different “penny catching” plans, rather than just one, might be tried. Officials said it was virtually certain that postoffice accounts would provide the basis for -the savings plans. Especially under consideration is the issuance of special de-
