OENATE CLEARING - DECKS FOR AGTION ‘Anti-War Pact, Navy Bill and Farm Aid Await Battle. s JContinued From Pirst Page) self in this matter, it is said to be very doubtful that any action can be had on the proposed farm legislation at this session. In some quarters it is belleved that Mr. Hoover might well express the view that farm legislation should be passed at the present ses- sion of Congress so that the farmers might have the full benefit of the new legislation to aid them with their 1929 crops. 'To -this suggestion, how- , ‘ever, the reply is made that if a special session is called immediately after March 4 there would still be time to put through a bill which would be operative in time to help with next year’s crops. ‘The House committee on agriculture has practically shut up shop for the present session and apparently is op- posed to action on farm legislation until A special session of the new Congress, if one is called. The farm organiza- tions generally have gone on record as favoring the handling of agricultural legislation at special session and not at the present session. Proponents of tariff revision also are demanding a special session. The argument advanced against a special session is that the incoming President should have an opportunity to adjust himself to his new office before he shall have Congress or his hands in Washington. ‘The problem of upon whom the man- .tel of Republican leadership in the Senate shall fall after Senator Curtis, Vice President-elect, shall have given | \‘ that office was somewhat simplified sterday by the announcement of Sen- ,<=-0F Wesley A. Jones of Washington, present Republican whip of the Senate, i that he would not permit his name to be put forward for the position of leader. ‘Watson May Be Leader. + In'‘the opinion of many of the Sena- \lars. this means the election of Senator ‘Watson of Indiana, at present assistant ileader and a candidate for leader. Sen- ator Curtis has not resigned from the Senate and is under no compulsion to ,do so, though he may desire to quit. He may remain as Senate leader until the close of the present session if he desires. In that event the election of a 1new leader would be deferred until the nate meets either in special session next Spring or in regular session next December, if no special session is held. At present, the withdrawal of Senator |Jones leaves the fleld practically to Sen- ator Watson. If the selection is de- ferred, there is the chance that some ,other Senator may be put forward in opposition to Senator Watson later. ; Senator Curtis has indicated that he . may make a definite statement of his 'plm': some time during the present weel Senator Jones” statement, declaring lhknselt out of the leadership race, fol- lows: “Many of my colleagues have kindly urged me to stand for the leadership tof the Senate at the next Congress. I ap ite this very much, but this position would require me to give up ,my place on the commerce or the ap- propriations committee. Both of these committees are of vital importance, es- pecially to my State and its people. I could not properly discharge the duties of both positions at the same time must come before any personal intes est or preference of myself, and so I have decided, after most careful study, that I cannot permit my name to 8 used for the leadérship. I have dis- charged for several years practically the duties of assistant leader, as well as those of whip. Whether I have done this well is for my colleagues to (say. If I should be tendered the po- sition of assistant leader, I will accept it and discharge its duties to the best of my ability.” Vare Case Due. / _‘The impression at the Capitol yester- day following the announcement of Senator Jones was that Senator Wat- son would be chosen leader and Sena- tor Jones assistant leader. {_The case of Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania is to come up before the +Reed slush fund committee tomorrow efternoon. A meeting of the committee was called yesterday, but owing to the ,absence of some of the members the matter was allowed to go over. The (committee is expected to decide whether it shall press the charges against Mr. ‘Vare that he was nominated in 1926 by the use of excessive campaign funds and through fraud. Some members of | ,the committee are inclined to allow the to run along, in view of the il thealth of Mr. Vare, who suffered last Summer a stroke of paralysis. ‘The committee and the Senate have | given Mr. Vare the right to appear and .speak for himself on the floor of the 18enate when his case comes up. It is obvious that we will be unable to do so In view of his present condition. On the other hand, there are members of the | committee who believe that there shculd jbe & termination of the case before the close of the present session. While the public lands committee of the Senate is to hold further hearings this week on the renewal of the Salt Lake oil leases to Sinclair, in connec« ! tion with its consideration of the nomi- nation of Secretary Roy O. West to be I'head of the Interior Department, the {belief of Senate leaders is that the ;momination will be disposed of at an early date and that Mr. West will be confirmed. His appearance before the | committee last week did much to weaken ‘th’ed_opposxflnn to his confirmation, it is [ Board to Take Up Submetering.

The two men got together today, however, and reached an ment, after which Thomas asked that the warrant be withdrawn. His request was granted. Officer Finks said he and State Pro- hibition Inspector Virgil Williams were | stationed near Accotink, watching for suspected bootleg cars. “I saw & large sedan containing three men pass-at a high rate of speed and followed them for some distance at an average speed of 55 miles an hour. For nearly a mile I rode along side blowing my whistle before they saw me and stopped. “They were disagreeable and wanted to argue but I made them drive in to Accotink and took them before the justice of the peace. I found a quart bottle with a little whisky in it under a blanket in the rear seat.” Crouch, if indicted and convicted, faces a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment, Mr. Shepherd said.
