(Associated Press Photo ) Congress Pushes Farm Bill For Enactment By Saturday Washington. Feb. 10. —(AP) —Seek- ing to quicken the legislative tempo, congressional leaders pushed (he new farm bill today in an effort to pass it through both houses before Satur day. Then they hope for quick action on such remaining issues as taxes, with the idea of adjourning Congress by May 1 at the latest. They already had jettisoned the proposed perma nent neutrality legislation, thus free ing the legislative barque of one con- Iroversy that threatened to delay the journey toward adjournment. Fighting the new farm bill were some Democrats and Republicans. The latest to attack it was Senator PRICE MAY YET BE CANDIDATE FDR JOB But Says Running for Lieu tenant Governor Never in His Mind Dully U’li Kiiitiio, In The Sir Walter Hotel, ID -J- C. lItSKBHVILt Raleigh, Feb. 10.-Julian Price, pre sident of (he Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company in Greensboro, has as yet made ‘‘no definite de cision” as to whether ho will become a candidal-: for governor, but will not become a candidate for lieutenant governor, as had been rumored in some political circles here, indicates in a letter to this bureau. The letter was written following the publication of a story from this bureau to the ef fect that most opinion in political cir cles here was that Price would not be come a candidate for governor, but that be might be a candidate for lieu tenant governor. The reason for (his opinion in poli tical circles here was that Price would have to depend for his support upon the same groups which are now sup porting either Clyde R. Hoey or Lieu tenant Governor A. H. Graham —the principal business interest of the State —and that his entry would thus help to insure the nomination of Dr. Ralph W. McDonald rather than his own or that of Hoey or Graham. Thus it was surmised that Price’s entry as a candidate would not even be wel (Continued on Page Five) OUR WEATHER MAN ' ~~ x.

Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, who said in a statement published today that it was a “dangerous bill” con ferring autocratic and blanket au thority on the secretary of agricul ture. He said the measure was “neith er valid in law nor valid in econo mics.” The bill was on the Senate calen dar for renewed debate today, while the House may start discussing it Thursday. House leaders, awaiting administra tion tax suggestions, foresaw today a possibility that the ways and means committee may start hearings on the levies late this week. France Seeks New T ies in the East Paris, Feb. 10 (AP)—The French government advanced negotiations to strengthen its military ties in eastern Europe today amid in creasing expressions of fear of what German re-armament might bring. General Andre Niessel asserted in an address before a reserve of ficers’ convention yesterday that the Reich already had moved 40,000 fully armed men, disguised as con stabulary, into the demilitarized Rhine, zone. DEMOCRATS WATCH BORAH-FESS TILT They Are Getting Much De light Over Seeming Split Among Foes Washington, Feb. 10.—(AP) — The tilt between Senator Borah, Republi can, Idaho, and Simeon D. Fees, for mer Republican .senator from Ohio, continued today affording Democratic members no small measure of delight. The latest development was a state ment published today in which FesH again implied that Borah had New Deal leanings. “The man chosen for (he Republican nomination must be one,” he said, “who has supported more Republican measures than Dem ocratic measures.” Borah, hearing that Fess had threa tened to “take a walk” if the Idahoan won the presidential nomination, had challenged Fess to say what candidate he favored and whether he favored the old deal.” Democratic members maintained silence on the sued, but it was no secret that they were happy over it. Since Alfred E. Smith threatened to “take a walk” if the New Deal were endorsed by the Democratic conven tion, they have been hoping for sim ilar signs of a schism in the Repub lican ranks. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. Chairman Dough ton, Democrat, North Carolina, said he expected de finite word from the White House or Treasury soon the amount and kind of taxes that might be proposed to fin ance the new farm program. Speaker Byrns said he could see no reason why the tax measure should not emerge from the committee by Hie end of February. He and Dough ton insisted they had no advance in formation on what the administration might propose. Many congressmen who are usually well Informed said, they looked for recommendations to raise more than $500,090,000 perhaps through excise taxes. INFLATION WOULD HIT POOR HARDEST Most Urgent Advocates Os Wild Currency Ignorant of Consequences By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Feb. 10. —Congressional anti-inflationists are of two kinds. Each, doubtless, means well, but only one of the two advocates an anti-in flationary plan which will work, if there is any logic in economics. First, however, let us consider the inflationists. What they want is more money in circulation. To be sure, they do not want, to overdo it. They speak of “controlled inflation.” Various groups of them suggest as many different methods of inflating controlably. The fact remains that inflation, once started, supposedly under strict control, never has failed to run ram pant presently, as in post-war Ger many, where the reich’s inflated marks finally became so utterly value less that they had to be abandoned, for a new kind of money. .SAVINGS EVAPORATE A currency disintegration of this (Continued on Page 1* ive) Huey Long Widow Sworn as Senator In Husband’s Job Washington, Feb. 10 (AP) —Mrs. Rose McConnell Long, of Louis iana, appointed to serve the unex pired term of her late husband, Huey P.

Because of his position, at the head of the Senate committee dealing with international affairs, his speech was regarded as certain to attract world wide attention. Pittman declared Japanese army conquest of Manchuria “was in viola tion of the covenant of the League of Nations, the Kellogg-Briand pact to outlaw war and the nine power pact.” He quoted a Japanese writer us say ing America is “ready to renounce (Continued on Page Two.)
