TWO BIG PROBLEMS
AWAIT LEGISLATORS
OF 74TH CONGRESS
(Continueu From Page One)
ing board for propaganda designed
to win the clection.
Republicans had charged that
the choice of 9 p. m., E.S.T., for the
pyesident’s broadeast address on
the “state of the union” was a poli
tical move designed to reach the
widest radio audience. Democrats,
saying the Republicans were motij
vated by politics, asserted the
“mation has a right to hear” the
address.
Before the president donned his
striped trousers and cutaway to
speak to the joint session in the
house of representatives tonight
there were several things to be
done, : !
Two ‘Eulogies |
The senate’s program called for|
a brief day session to eulogize the
jate Senators Long, Democrat, Lou-
Isiana and Schall, Republican,
Minnesota, and to administer thel
oath to Schall’'s appointed succes-l
sor, Elmer A, Benson, farmer
laborite, » |
The house, after swearing in four'|
new members, faced the task ofl
arranging for the ‘evening session—~'
and here some controversy threat- |
ened. Répresentative Rich, Re-|
publican, Pennsylvania, said he|
would fight if further study show
ed that the move wag a “political"’
one, but Demoeratic leaders said
there would be no serious hitch.
There was much work to do,
also, in preparing for legislative
debates such as the one on thel
bonus—which -+ may open in thel
house next week,
Three major exsoldiers’ organl
zations announced that their bill
to pay the soldiers’ bonus, which
they estimate would cost $1,000,-

Believed Against
Some friends of President Roo
sevelt, declining to be quoted by
name, expressed the belief he
would not accept thig bill. Some
of them felt he might be receptive
to a measure along the lines of the
!Banes-Steiwer compromise, un
der which a veteran who cashed
his certificate immediately would
get about 97 per cent of its matura
ity wvalue.
| 'There was an argument over the
lultimate cost of both these plans,
| with some government experts fi
| guring each would ultimately en
]tail more expense than the $2,201,-
934,710 estimated last year for the
inflationary Patman plan which
the president vetoed. Advocates
of the plans challenged the esti
mates.
The veterans’ organization's bill,
lwhich is backed by the American
iLegion, Veterans of Foreign Wars
and Disabled American Veterans,
'would offer immediate cash pay
ment of the adjusted service certi
ficates now due to mature In 1945.
It would, however, permit veter
iansq to retain them and recejve in
‘terest if they chose.
| Off to Quick Start
- The neutrality issue was off to a
quick start too. Chairman Mec-
Reynolds, Democrat, Tennessee, of
the house foreign affairs commit
tee and Chairman Pittman, Demo
crat, Nevada, of the senate foreigm
relations committee were ready
to toss into the hopper a bill work
ed out in conferences with the
president and Secretary Hull.
Advance reports indicated the
bill might give the chief executive
the right to detérmine to what ex
tent such commudities as cotton
and oil should be shut off from
belligerent nations. The bill was
described, too, as including re
stritive provisions concerning loans
and credits to warring countries,

[although its details were kept sec

{ ‘Whether the bill would meet ap

posed broad discretionary powers
for the executive remained to bhe
determined.
Demand Speed
As the congress met, Democrats
were demanding speed on major
legislation and an early adjourn
ment, while the Republican lead
ership called on the houses to cease
being “bubber stamps.”
Attacking what he called the
“spendthrift policy of the admin
istration,” Representative Snell of
New York, house minority lead
er, asserted appropriationg will
need “more than ordinary consid
eration.”
He said the Republicans would
advocate “reduced expenditures, =
balnced budget, sound financias
policies, withdrawal of government
competition with private enterprise,
a return to vrepresentative ana
constitutional government and
freedom from foreign entangle
ments.”
Speaker Byrns said that “every
one wants to see all necessary le
gislation given the fullest possibie
consideration.”
3 Months Predicted
But he added that “unlesg there
are those who wish to prolong the
session for political reasons, 1t
seems to me that it should not!
require much longer than three
months to consider and enact all
essential medsures.”
Besides the bonus and neutrality,
Democratic leaders viewed these
measures as paramount: appro
priations, particularly those In
volving national defense and re
iief; ship legislation to separate
subsidies from ocean mail con
tracts; any measures held neces
sary if any New Deal acts are
ruled invalid in impending su
preme court decisions.

survey said. |
As for tobacco, the report said
in part:
I “The outlook for Georgla tobac
|co growers is associated closely
iwith the adjusted program of the
agricultural adjustment adminis«
| tration. The tobacco situation in
| general is that the outlook for
lxut'ices in 1936 will be favorable ii
{a decrease in the produection of
| some types, notably flue-cured, is
| continued until stocks are further
!reduced. !
The report said the 1935 peanut
crop in the nation would be the
“largest ever produced,” and that
prices to growers for the 1935 crop
are slightly higher than the prices
of the previous year.” It added the
price outlook in 1936 would depend
on the price of peanut oil and con
tinuation of the control program.

PROBLEM OF ICE
AND SNOW ENDED,
ANOTHER ARISES
Approximately 2,000 bales of
cotton stored in a local warehouse
on Broad street, were badly dam
aged yesterday when water from
the rain and melting ice seeped
through the roof. Hundreds of
‘gallons of water came through
the roof, saturating the cotton,
and standing several inches deen
on th_ floor.
Offices over ' the warehouse were
also damaged to a large extent by
the water, and in several places
on the second floor of the build
‘ing water is standing two inches
deep, according to a report to the
Banner-Herald. ;
Farmers and cattle benefitted
Jrom the rain and snow, how
ever, for wells throughout this
section were getting very low in
their water supply.
According to L. S. Watson,
county agent, hundreds of wells
would have been dry within a
few more weeks if - this “wet
spell” hadn't arrived when it did.
Wells have been getting lower
and lower in their water supply
for the past two years due to
lack of rain and moisture in the
ground, Mr. Watson said.
It will be approximately 60 days
before effects of the rain yesters
