TROUBLE CAUSED BY DELAY INCONGRESS Scott Says Farm Control Should Have Been En acted at Extra Session Dali; lilspatcb Bareaa, 111 The Sir Walter n.»iel. Raleigh, May 3—Dilitory action in Congress on enactment of the crop control program is responsible for much of the trouble now confronting those who are sincerely trying to ad minister the new act equitably and ■efficiently, Commissioner of Agricul ture W. Kerr Scott believes. The control program should have been worked out and put into con crete legislation at the Special Ses sion of Congress last fall, he told this correspondent; and Congressional fail ure to do so will make good adminis tration of the new act much more than ordinarily difficult. “You will remember that when a suh-committee from the Senate jun keted about the country last fall, we urged upon its members, sitting at Winston-Salem, that whatever pro gram they favored be worked out and put into shape for legislative action before the first of the year” he said. “This they failed to do and it was late in the regular session before any thing concrete was accomplished.” It followed, he said, that allotment of quotas and planting of the tobac fContinued on Page Two).

Meeting Unions Must Cooperation Charlotte, May 3 (AP)—Dr. George W. Taylor, arbitrator for a large sec tion of the hosiery industry, urged the American Federation of Hosiery Workers today to include rehabilita tion of the . industr yamong its ob jectives. Speaking on the second day’s pro gram of the twenty-eighth annual convention, the University of Penn sylvania instructor said the necessity for such a movement was indicated by the decline of machines in the Philadelphia area, which he said was from 4,300 to 2,800 since 1935. Dr. Taylor suggested improvement of machinery must be one way to ac complish this rehabilitation. Cooperation between the union and manufacturers is essential in work ing out the problem, he said. The speaker said he saw signs of a trend to three-shift operations, especially in the South, and asserted a continua tion would bring disaster to the entire industry. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY 11,156,000,000 FOR IS GIVEN APPROVAL Senator Clark Fails To Have Measure Re-Committed To Committee for Studies BANK HOLDING BILL DEAD FOR SESSION Measure of Senator Glass, Wanted by Roosevelt, Dropped by Committee; Glass Himself Opposed Ac tion at This Time; AAA To Probe Payments Washington, May 3.—(AP)— The Senate approved today the admin istration’s. $1,156,'000,000 naval expan sion hill. Earlier Senator Clark, Democrat, Missouri, asked the Senate to pigeon hole the bill. Clark moved to re-com- measure to the naval affairs committee, saying the legislation would provide for "squandering” an unknown sum of money. The Missouri (senator declared it. could not be ascertained whether the program would cost the $1,156,000,000 its backers have estimated, “or sl -two billion dollars, or $2 - 500,000,000.” Meanwhile, members of a Senate banking and currency sub-committee said they had agreed “unanimously” to defer action for this session of Con gress on the Glass bank holding com pany hill. The action has the effect of killing the bill, unless there should be a special congressional session be fore next January, when the present Congress dies. To be considered by the new Congress, it must be re-in vroduced. The measure contained provisions which President Roosevelt recently asked Congress to enact this session.
