UNITED STATES st
ENATOR
As I pause in a Bwing across the
state to dictate this column, it is be
coming more and more evident that
the effort to draft new farm legis
lation when Congress convenes will
ied by a sharp controversy
her there shall be direct
;o agriculture or production
iach of the two plans has
orters. The action of the
agriculture commissioners from ten
Southern states in approving the sub
sidy idea is significant.
Those opposed to production con
trol' contend and with merit to their
contentions, that weather and pest
conditions cannot be controlled and
enter strpngly into the situation. They
argue that if there is production con
trol, drought or heavy rainfall, pests
or some other emergency can wipe
out all the gains made through crop
shortages. Moreover, it is always
difficult to get all farmers to agree
to production control. -
In industry, it is claimed, when
some industrial plants are faced with
a slow-down in production, others
speed-up and take advantage of that
situation. This same holds true for
j agriculture ana iu many cubcd piw-
duction control does not work evenly.
jf . The tour of members of the Se-
H nate Committee on Agriculture
1 through the farm belts will undoubt-
1 . edly develop much information as to
what the farmers want. One sugges
tion already made, in connection with
cotton, is that the price be pegged
with regard to domestic consump
tion and that the surplus be "dump
ed" into the world markets. It is
rightly claimed that to carry through
such a plan would require tariff
changes to prevent an influx of cheap
goods from abroad made from the
jT dumped American cotton.
Many veteran Senators who have
"ap(gnt years with the problems of
JS,aHPasalways in their mind,
m.d to production
j isagreement ' wer
prod4iBl t- 1 as proposed in
Administration r-ea8ures introduced
- at the last session of Congress had
' much to do with preventing the en--:;
, actment of a new farm program. But
;: in the end the law will probably be
framed on the basis of what the
'farmers themselves and the leaders
'of farm organizations want To as
certain this is the purpose of the
. field studies of the Senate Commit-
tee.
. Many Congressional leaders recog
, nize that with a short session gen-
erally favored, due to the 1938 elec
tions it would be extremely difficult
to start in on what is generally des
cribed as "tariff tinkering." This
fact alone, some contend, may help
swing support toward production con
trol for the present, with more per
v manent legislation to be drafted
later. "
- ; , Tariff changes despite , the fact
'st f that there is a great need for better
V? f protection for the farmer have al
ii j ways been one of the most controver
sial legislative . questions. Thus . to
- open tariff debate in the next ses
sion, along with the prospects of new
-r ; tax legislation, might throw Congress
into, ft muddle worse than that of the
last session.
However, one thing now seems cer
tain. When Congress convenes,
whether in special or regular session,
THE I EVOLUTION rOF A RADIO CABINET
arm chair models
latest Wrinkle in
radio convenience
Entire Radio Industry Recognizes
New Design Trend
Each year around the middle of
June, brings .with it ft spring
growth of new radio designs, in
troduced by the country's various
manufacturers. Keen merchandis
ers as they are, the radio manuf ac
, turers press their ears dose to the
ground-so they may keep in close
: touch wilh the public demand in
design, models and convenience
, features. Especially are they in
Iterated in discovering what the
..women want And both men and
women, it seems, want operating
convenience in their radio.
As a result the recent manufac
turer showings of radio instru
ments to distributors made evident
one thing above all others radio
cabinet design is going more dis
tinctly toward the arm chair type
which places the radio and its
controls right at the owner's elbow.
To bring in entertainment, he
needs but disturb the tranquility
of a wrist and a few fingers.
It is quite evident that Mr. and
Mrs. Radio Purchaser have at last
been successful in influencing the
radio manufacturer to tear him
self away from the stereotyped
console form to which he has been
inseparably attached for so many
years. And a merry siege it has
been. Fifteen.' years ago you had
to be ambidexterous to handle all
the control knobs on a radio. As
little as 8 years ago radio high
boys were built on high pilings and
called for a step ladder and a pir
of stilts as standard operating
equipment And then came the
down-to-the-floor console with
dials placed so low in the cabinet
that they afforded many a proud
owner pleasant exercises in back
bench' ng and genuflection.

What do your neighbors think
of this new trend in radio! Jut
ask any ten df them what type of
radio they would prefer if they
could buy a new one arm chair or
the old type console. It is a pleas
ant game and it will give you many
an interesting answer.
And what do the manufacturers
think? Well, let's go to one of them.
Let's ask Eugene A. Tracey, Vice
President in Charge of Sales of
Zenith Radio Corporation, Chi
cago, who must handle the output
of a factory capable of producing
10,600 new radios every 8 hours. A
man who has that many radios
slipping through his hands every
day, really has to know what the
public is asking for.
Says Mr. Tracey, "Many mil
lionaires are millionaires today be
cause they have catered to the
ease-loving characteristics of the
American Public. And many in
business have gone penniless be
cause they have failed to listen to
the public demand for change and
improvement. The manufacturer
who refuses to cater to the pub
lic trend may as well go out of
business.
"In this case the call is unmis
takable and we have tried to re
spond to it just 100 by placing
into our new range of designs no
fewer than 16 different models of
the newly demanded Arm Chair
Radio.
"That means," continued Mr.
Tracey, "no more 'standing-up
tuning', no more 'bending-dowa
tuning', no more walking over to
the radio just to tune it The mod
ern radio owner asks to have the
radio at his elbow chair height
controls handy to the Angers and
his plea has at last been heard I "

FILM FORECAST
Friday only "Between Two Wo
men". A great dramatic story of a rising
sergeon, who said that my life be
longs to a profession I have no rea
son to neglect. Franchot Tone,
Maureen O'Sullivan and Virginia
Bruce are the featured stars.
Saturday Only "The Ranger
Steps In".
BOB ALLEN
Featuring the well-known Western
hero, Bob Allen, with beautiful Elea
nor Stewart in the feminine lead, the
picture is jam-packed with action.
Gripping chases, gun fights and ten
der romantic scenes highlight the
film. Director Spencer Gordon Ben-
a farm program will be ready. It is
not inconceivable that a compromise
of some fashion will be reached bet
ween those who oppose production
control and those who favor this
method of meeting the farm situa
tion. ' Some dissatisfaction over the
nine-cent loan on cotton may have an
influence on any new farm bill.
From .the standpoint of the farm
er, these controversies are hopeful
signs. They mean that there is real
interest in the farm problem and
that it is daily winning more atten
tion. And there is agreement thai
the farmer cannot have any assurance
of economic stability as conditions
are today.
net has retained a speedy tempo
throughout and has built the sus
pense to proportions that kept yes
terday's audience on the edge of
their seats.
A feud between two families, a
dramatic fight for valuable railroad
land, cattle rustling and the - ever
alert intervention of the courageous
Texas Rangers, of which Allen is a
member, contribute knock-out punches
to the story.
Excellent performances by Allen,
Miss Stewart, John Merton, Hal Tali
aferro, Jack Ingram and others in
the cast, lift the film into the bet
ter group of 'outdoor' dramas. West
ern fans will thrill to "The" Ranger
Steps In."
Monday and Tuesday "Mountain
Music."
Bob Bums and Martha Raye are
co-starred for the first time in
"Mountain Music," a satire of life
among the hillbillies. In order to
stop a feud between their families,
Burns is supposed to marry Terry
Walker. But he gets hit on the
head, forgets about the wedding, and
winds up with Miss Raye. Which is
okay with his brother, John Howard,
who cops Miss Walker in the interim.
The cast also includes George Hayes,
Rufe Davis, Spencer Charters and a
number of other well-known featured
players.

Marking Steel Tools
To mark steel tools warm them
slightly and rub the steel with wax
or hard tallow, until a film gathers.
Then scratch the letters on the wax,
cutting through to the steel. A little
nitric acid poured on the writing
will quickly eat out the letters.
Wash off the acid and remove the
wax with a hot rag, and the letters
will be securely etched.
