UGRESS Longworth Holds Supply Bills Principal Items Unless Tariff Drags Out.‘ By the Associated Press. Unless the tariff bill drags into the regular session, Speaker Longworth be- lieves that, shorn of most of the major subjects of perennial controversy, the principal: work of Congress next Win- ter will be the annual supply bills. Muscle Shoals alone remains of the most controver='al tasks that have vexed former Crn---sses for many years, although inland waterway legis- lation and railroad problems also rall to a relatively moderate extent into the same category. Both the Speaker and Representa- tive Tilson of Connecticut, the majority leader, however, view the coming ses- sion now as one which will have as its major task the work of allotting some $4,000,000.000 to the departments end her ‘agencies of the Government to nrry on their work. Farm Relief Transferred. Farm relief has been transferred from the legislative to the executive fleld after more than a decade of con- troversy. Boulder Canyon has been disposed of similarly. Reapportion- ment of the House membership is as- sured. The national origins basis for determining the immigration quotas of the different nations will be in effect next Monday. Taxes have been re- duced. Tariff revision may remain for the regular session. but leaders hope: to have it out of the way before December. The task of allotting more than $4,000,000,000 to carry on the Govern- ment's work will fall largely to the House appropriations committee. Ex- perts of that committee, the Treasury Department and the Budget Bureau will begin work on it during the Sum- mer. Before the special session ends. the committee will be organized, and a month before the regular session begins, the various subcommittees will open their hearings. ‘These will continue far into the regu- lar session until at least 11 appropria- tion bills have been completed. Nine of these carry the regular supplies for the different departments. The other two provide supplemental funds to care for emergency needs that have arisen.

By the Associated Press. ‘With the hearing on the highly con- | troversial sugar schedule of the tariff bill concluded by one Senate finance subcommittee, another vigorously dis- uted section of the measure, contain- g the proposal to place duties on hides, leather and shoes, was the princi- pal concern of the tariff revisers today. ‘The sugar schedule subcommittee and two of the three others were in recess over the week end, but the group charged with taking testimony on the sundries schedule was called to continue work. The proposal in that schedule to remove hides, leather and shoes from the free list aroused considerable dis- cussion while the bill was pending in the House, and a large number of wit- nesses interested in fne industries in- volved wlnwd to be heard. In the hearing on the sunr duties the Democrats were not long in inject- ing into the discussion Thursday's White House statement declaring that President Hobver favored a plan which would protect both the producer and consumer. Refers to Newspapers. Although the President was repre- sented as having committed himself to no particular form of sugar tariff, Sen- | ator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, | said some newspapers had stated the Chief Executive favored the sliding scale plan under which rates would | vary with the price of sugar.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 20.—Official circles authoritatively stated tonight that the German government would raise no ob- Jjections to return of the former Kaiser from his exile at Doorn, but it was at once added that this attitude was of no | importance. It was beliéved that there was not the remotest possibility that Wilhelm Hohenzollern would apply for permission to visit the land e once 'l'hf whole question was brought to the front by failure of the Reichstag Thursday night to extend the life of the aw for the protection of the republic, which contains a clause empowering the government to decide whether members of the former ruling family will be re- | ceived in the republic. It was pointed out tonight that the Crown Prince met with no difficulties | est reason to apprehend the when he applied for a to enter Germany, a procedure which would be necessary for the Kaiser, despite the lwtmmntm death of the protection law 22. As evidence that the former Kaiser is not H.kel] to attempt to return was cited act that he made no move to at- tend the funeral of his , Prince Henry, and moreover he repeatedly has he would not return unless the people called him. The official vmvpolnt is that such a call is entirely unlikely. The Demokratische nst to- d.lyulnuuereturnoluu ormer Em- peror would harm no one, but that not | even the Monarchists want him, and the German Republic has not the slight- | possibility | of his return.
