Working until midnight in an ef- fort to complete action on committee reports and bills introduced by 2 p.m. Wednesday, the senate Monday either recommended for passage or indefi- nitely postponed more than a hun- dred committee reports, passed nine bills and killed another. Tuesday's session continued to grind away at the stack of unfinished work. One of the first actions taken result- ed in passage of @ bill which would make possible the creation of @ third party in North Dakota. Action was taken on Senate Bill 180, introduced by Senators C. W. Fine of Benson and E. C. Stucke of McLean, which provides that when- ever a petition signed by 20,000 or more voters is filed before March 31 of a primary election year asking that ballots be provided for another party and stating the platform and party name, that ballots would be authorized and @ new party set up.

During that time, the figures dis- close, the volume of United States exports to Germany has shrunk from $15,700,000 in January, 1934, to $2,- 600,000 last December. In the same period, German sales in the United States decreased from $6,500,000 to about $5,500,000. In support of their charges of dis- crimination, Americans cited a wide variety of barter arrangements which Germany has negotiated with busi- ness interests in other countries, Under such agreements, it was Siamese rice, 12,500 Puerto Rican cas- ings, £20,000 (about $100,000) worth of Australian wool, 55,000 sacks of Brazilian coffee and 30,000 tons of Chilean oats. The examples, it was said, may be multiplied indefinitely. igi all tend to indicate, American rif seid, that Germany is quite willing to barter on an even basis with coun- tries that are not particularly strong financially or that are not large cred- itors of Germany. : Move Hits Duplicated The United States is short detached neat mutiee Sime Cromwell's recent Doris Duke, Aeenoas tiie richest Pg ‘dollar princes.’ Cromwell has « few millions of his own.

Some of the administration strateg- ists thought the house should act first because: 1. The senate upset the administration's plans on wages in the $4,880,000,000 work and relief Prone to revolt this session. Senatorial spokesmen were inclined to agree, but they met strong op- position from Democratic chiefs on the house side. As expressed by Speaker Byrns their position was this: “I've heard a lot of talk around the house to the effect that since the house has to originate so many bills anyhow, the senate should start Off one of these controversial meas- ures, “Some members contend that the senate committee could investigate the NRA and consider the bill to ex- tend it at the same time.” Byrns did 10 say so, but another majority leader remarked that “it is time the senate took the rap on something.” Bill Would Permit bill; 2.

Scheduled to come before the lower assembly for final action Tuesday were the house liquor bill and the house old age pension proposal. The old age pension bill came out of the committee of the whole Tuesday with a recommendation for passage after opposition by minority Berth The bill was amended in of the whole with the mill rate. rate ond from @ one-mill levy to a seven- tenths mill levy. L. L, Twichell of Cass objected to the bill on the grounds that the super committee of 21 had endorsed and was supporting a sales tax measure which, he said, was designed to give approximately $1,000,000 in support of the federal re- lief program. See Relief As Duplication The million dollars, he said, would serve to match in part federal relief monies to be allocated to the state in the future. He maintained that the money would include old age relief. He questioned maximum levy for the state is four mills, If you take seven-tenths of that four mills what are you going to have left to run the state?” ‘Thomas one of the requirements of the feder- al proposed enactment is that the state must assume a portion of the old age pension burden. Burke of- fered one criticism of the proposed old age pension bill. He said he thought the seven-tenths levy may be too high. The house Monday night, sitting as a committee of the whole, voted to recommend for passage the house liquor bill which would provide for sale of liquor in privately owned re- tail stores under municipal licensing system _and state taxation. Due for Action Tuesday ‘The bill was recommended out for Passage without dissension, although an attempt to obtain a roll call was made. The attempt failed. The bill will come before the house Tuesday for final passage. Also before the house for final passage will be a series of three bills, house bills 226, 227, and 255.

Davis said no licensing of individual producers was contem- plated. Authority Is ‘Reserve Power’ Davis described the proposed author- ity as “reserve power” for the secre- tary and said “the secretary's power to issue licenses even though a ma- jority of processors or handlers do not ign an agreement is especially vital to the fluid milk producers, who con- stitute one of the important farm groups in the United States, and without this power the entire series of milk licenses now in effect might be nullified. Davis urged the “normal grainery” proposal of permitting payment of benefits in commodities instead of cash for levelling out surpluses and shortages in fat and lean yeats as one which would promote a “wise national policy of maintaining necessary con- stant adequate reserves of food and fiber at all times.” He insisted the AAA programs “are founded upon the Democratic prin- ciples of majority rule” and that “no one can say with any basis in fact that under the proposed amendment the secretary of agriculture could ex- ercise arbitrary power over groups of farmers against their will.” President Works on Plans for Congress Hyde Park, N. Y., Feb. 26.—(7)— President Roosevelt kept one eye on national affairs Tuesday as he did his homework on final phases of his pro- gram for congress. Standing pat on his domestic re- scheduled to come before the house without a recommendation either for covery program, he closely observed the contest in the senate over his work relief measure, apparently con- vinced this was @ better approach to unemployment than the dole. 4 Hauptmann Counsel County Dissolution ion ‘The bill provides that upon a hear- ing before the district court of the judicial district in whieh the county is situated, the governor shall issue a proclamation dissolving the county should the court decide dissolution of the sub-division was in the best in- aoe of the county and of the cred- Attachment of the territory of the dissolved county to a contiguous county for judicial purposes also is provided for in the bill.

LEGISLATION NEEDED 70 SUPPORT MOVE BY CONGRESS Most Assemblies Ad Adjourning Within Two Weeks Cannot Adopt Laws In Harmony ©! WORK RELIEF STILL FROZEN Republicans to Act Within Day or Two to Force Work Bill From Committee Washington, Feb. 26.—(#)—With the Roosevelt $4,880,000,000 work and relief program still frozen in a senate committee, anxiety arose Tuesday among backers of @ second huge ad- ministration project—the social se- curity bill. They feared that, with the stream of legislation through congress slowed almost to a halt, the plan to have states quickly adopt security laws in harmony with the federal government might be endangered. Many state legislatures are now in session but a large proportion are due to adjourn within two weeks, some of them not to meet again in regular session for two years. Thus, unless congress quickly passed the security bill for unemployment insurance, old age pensions and other social bene- hand on the project would face seri- ous delays, its backers feared. Republicans to Act Senate Republican Independents said they would move in a day or two to force a relief bill out of the appropriations committee if adminis- tration forces showed no disposition to act on the deadlocked $4,880,000,000 work program. Chairman Glass (D-Va) of the committee, meanwhile, told interview- ers he was “ready to proceed at time,” but suggested nothing be done at least until President Roo- Ployables on relief rolls. As the plan of the independents developed, Secretary Ickes predi¢ted the administration plan eventyally, would be pessed by congress without the prevailing wage amendment. The only reason given newsmen for the forecast was that “there is a verg errors for a public works tee Meanwhile the government made The total number of persons in the country available for emp!oyment was figured at 50,426,000. This indicated a little more than one out of every five of these were jobless. At least 15 vessels which sent out| usual at this messages of distress were struggling to ride out the gale or edging their way toward port at the end of rescue ships’ towlines. The latest craft to join the grow- ing list of stricken steamers was the $248 ton British freighter Bereby, which reported its eerin gear car- ried away off the coast of Portugal while it was en route from Liverpool to West Africa. Europa Sends SOS The British steamer Hillcroft, shorn of its propeller, was hove to in the/peen same section awaiting the arrival of Tescue craft. The Europa, which sent out an SOS Mon- day night while off the Spanish coast near Villano, rolled helplessly in the seas while a tug plodded to its aid. The Danish steamer Svithiod was standing by.
