Despite warnings of a political re volution in the South in resistance to the measure, it received the Sen ate’s endorsement for the second time. Quick House approval of the bill was expected, to send it to the White House for President Roosevelt’s sig nature early next week. * The bill is designed to chart a new course in American control of agri cultural production by using the tax ing power to limit cotton production to 10,000,000 bales. The conference report struck from the bill a Senate amendment to ex-- empt from the tax the first six bales grown by each farmer. A political revolution in the South was predicted by Senator Bailey. Democrat, North Carolina during de bate on the bill. “Once you put this bill into opera tion,” Bailey said, ‘‘the resistance m the South will amount to a political revolution.” Bailey joined with Senator Thomas Democrat, Oklahoma, in asking for rejection of the conference report on the bill. . , . The North Carolinian said the (bill would destroy the little producer. - “If you are ever going to strike a blow in behalf of the humble man and assert the right of the little man to live, here is the best opportunity the Senate will have in the present session,” Bailey added. Senator Thomas opposed the agree ment and representatives of the Sen ate and House on account of the five year basis for State quotas. Bailey asked the Senate to send the bill back to conference and insist on the ten-year average. He said North Carolina's five-year average was 751,000 bales, as compared with a ten-year avoreg of 876,000, or 125,000 bales over the five year rule. ‘‘This is a great injustice to the commonwealth of North Carolina,” ln» said. Bailey said he was not going to try to delay the bill, because ‘‘the far mers are entitled to know at the ear liest possible moment what Congress proposes to do.” stateTs allotted $100,600 ON RELIEF Washington, April 14 (AP)— Grants by the Federal Relief Ad ministration today include: North Carolina, $100,600, of which $55,600 is for relief of transients through April 30, and $45,000 to pay obligations incurred for the emergency educational program in January. Inability o the Senate Finance Com mittee to agree on the Jones-Costigan sugar control bill led to selection of sub-committee to study the fixing of production quotas outside continental United States. Yet hopeful for silver legislation* Speaker Rainey, nevertheless, express ed doubt of an attempt to prevent adjournment, unless something more is done for the metal. From within the Radio Commission, came a recommendation that it “be clothed with enough authority to warn stations that certain classes of pro grams are undesirable, and may lead to embarrassment, if not actual pun ishment, if they are put on the air. The President took a hand in the somewhat confused legislative situa tion by calling in chairmen of key committees. Any concrete attempt to straighten the course to adjournment however, had to wait until next week.
