In finishing with the public works section earlier yesterday, the Senate accepted, 65 to 20, the committee pro- wvision allotting the $400,000,000 of Fed- eral road grants to the States on the basis of existing law—one-third each on population, area and present road mileage, instead of the House plan for one-half on population and one- quarter each on mileage and area. Members from the less populous States won an easy victory for the committee provision. Senators from more populous areas urged the House apportionment on the ground their States had suffered more in proportion to others from unemployment. Another amendment approved—by Senator Russell, Democrat, of Georgia —permits extension of the bill's bene- fits to States, counties and municipali- ties notwithstanding constitutional bans against their borrowing money. Senator Hayden, Democrat, of Ari- zona, also succeeded with an amend- ment to provide that not less than $50,- 000,000 of the construction funds be used for national forest, park and ln- dian reservation roads and crails A committee amendment, vackeé by Senator Bankhead, Democrat bama, making $25,000,000 aval loans for purchasing homesteads to aid “in the redistribution of population in industrial centers” also was approved. Bankhead, in a statement, said this would provide a “source of permanent relief for a large number in the indus- trial centers who are now destitute and who desire to secure subsistence homes.” FIVE LORTON FUGITIVES SOUGHT IN CAPITAL | Prison Official Withdraw Blood- hounds and Concentrate on Search Here. The search for five of the seven prisoners who escaped from the District Penal Institution at Lorton, Va., Thurs-| day, was concentrated today in this city and along various highways. Believing the men by this time had succeeded in getting some distance from the prison, officials withdrew the blood- | hounds which were trailing them, but are employing a number of guards in the man hunt. Two of the seven who escaped were recaptured not long afterward.

S. DEBUCHI TO BE REPLACED, TOKIO PAPERS SAY. KATSUJI DEBUCHL By the Associated Press. TOKIO, June 10.—Vernacular news- papers asserted today that Foreign Minister Count Yasuya Uchida has de- | cided to replace Katsuji Debuchi, Japa- nese Ambassador to Washington, shortly. | The leading candidate for the posi- tion is reported to be Kojiro Matsu- kata, former president of the Kawasaki Dockyard and recently a promoter of a Japanese-Russian oil contract. Yosuke Matsuoka, Japanese peace delegate, who recently led his colleagues | from a League of Nations session when | a report condemning Japanese policies | in Manchuria was adopted, also was| connection. T0BE GIVEN TODAY | Main Part of Program to Be| Withheld for Regular Ses- sion, However. President Roosevelt was expected to | Congress today requesting the regroup- | ing of several major Government bu- | reaus. Among them, The Star learned | on good authority, the Shipping Board, Merchants Fleet Corporation, Bureau of Mines, the Public Health Bureau, and | the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Administration leaders said the Com- | merce Department’s Bureau of Mines would go to the Interior Department, as would the Treasury’s Public Health | Service, and the Agricuiture Depart- ment's Forest Service. The Shipping Board and the Mer- chant Fleet Corporation will be trans- | ferred to the Commerce Department, | where they will be distributed among | the marine activity bureaus of that | agency, according to official sources. Ship Board May Lose Identity. It was said the Shipping Board would lose its identity, part of its many bureaus being merged with the Navi- gation-Steamboat Inspection and the Foreign and Domestic Commerce | Bureau's Transportation Division. The Public Health Service, for years an agency under Treasury supervision, is slated to become a part of the In- terior’s Public Welfare Section. The Bureau of Mines and Forest Service| are reported to be slated to join the | Reclamation, Geological Survey and National Park Bureaus as a part of the National Resources Section of that de- partment. Administration officials said an agree- ment was reached yesterday by Presi- dent Roosevelt and members of his cabinet after a lengthy meeting. Also present at this conference was Director of the Budget Douglas and Assistant Secretary of Commerce Dickinson. $50,000,000 Saving Estimated. “While the actual number of trans- fers will be fewer, the savings probably will be greater than anticipated,” an official said. It was estimated that the savings would approximate $50,000,000. Details of the plans were being com- leted this morning by Director Doug- las. He expects to submit them to the White House by noon, it was said, and | they would probably go to Congress by midafternoon. | The reorganization will be made through executive orders and will 80| into effect automatically in 60 calender days unless, as specified in the economy | act, Congress should set an earlier ef- | fective date. | This, it is understood, will be re- quested so that the program would be- | come effective July 1., Minor Part of Program. The reorganization discussed yester- day was only a minor part of the gen- eral reorganization program the admin- istration is planning to place in effect at the next session of Congress. | As one official explained it, the bu- reaus now slated for regrouping repre- sent “non-contentious” agencies or those over which no dispute has arisen between the departments. President Roosevelt announced a fort- night ago he had shelved the general | reorganization program until later. The | general plan calls for the setting up of | a general transportation agency in the | Commerce Department which, among others, would absorb six of the Inter- state Commerce Commission bureaus. Other Shake-Up Planned. Official sources sald that among bu- | reaus slated for abolition under the program to be sent to Congress is the | Interstate Commerce Commission's Bu- | reau of Valuation. Its 1933 appropria- tion of $2,000,000 was not included in | the 1934 budget estimates. Besides the orders for immediate shifts of bureau activities, the Presi- dent is expected to announce also some important intra-departmental shake- | ups, which do not necessarily require | congressional approval. At the reorganization conference be- sides the director of the budget and Dickinson were the Secretaries of the | Treasury, Interior, Labor, Navy, War, | y General and | the Postmaster General. Moving Day at Bureau. Meantime, the administration plans | pubiic works boards, provided for in the | national recovery bill, functioning as| soon as the measure is enacted. | In order to have this done imme- | diately, today was moving day at the Commerce Department for many di- | visions of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, as both the in- | | dustrial control and public works boards | | temporarily, at least, officials said. Several of the commodity divisions | located on the third floor have been | moved to various other sections and their rooms allotted to the board. Those | divisions slated to be connected direct- ly with the industrial control board were not moved. The Industrial Control Board will remain in the Commerce Department ‘Wilbur Broadway, 23, serving from one and a half to two years for grand Jarceny. & indefinitely, officials said.

To See Ball Game. Despite heavy work yet to be done the House planned to recess for three | hours in the afternoon to view the an- nual Republican and Democratic base ball game at Griffith Stadium. After | this the members arranged to return to | business and to stay at work until mid- | night. The Senate needed to work straight through from its 10 a.m. meeting time. The new Congress, mastered by Democratic majorities, convened in ex- | tra session on March 9, only five days | after President Roosevelt was inaug-| urated. On that first day it enacted | into law emergency banking and con- trol legislation that paved the way for reopening the Nation's banks. From that day on it voted an amaz- ing succession of new powers to the President, denying nothing that he asked, despite vigorous protests from the minorities. The Executive himsellf, while sending up to the legislators one bil after another, was carrying on an intensive series of conferences on world economic problems, planning reorgan- ization of the departmental machinery of the Government and selecting the big corps of aides needed to direct new tasks and old. Swept along by the momentum in- spired by the Chief Executive, Con- gress early enacted the economy bill, de- signed to cut a half billion doliars of expenditures from a lopsided budget. Quickly it then legalized beer, but relaxed its speed to argue cver the emergency relief-farm mortgage bill until the President took charge of the inflation proposals in the Senate and secured broad power to control the currency. To carry out one of his own favorite designs, Mr. Roosevelt secured con- gressional sanction of his. Forestry Conservation Corps to give work to The huge Muscle Valley development measure soon was approved and next came the Federal supervision of securi- ties fulfilling another Democratic cam- paign_promise. Having invoked his authority to pre- vent the drain by foreign countries of this nation’s dwindling gold supply, ine President startled the world by asking | and obtaining Congress’ consent to strike the gold clause from all Govern- ernment and private contracts amoun:- ing to a hundred billion dollars. On top of this, his proposal to spend a half billion dollars for direct relief was enacted and already some of the money has been poured into the States. A new Federal employment system to co-operate with the States was set up with congressional approval. Indications were that the President's arms embargo proposal, the St. Law- rence power allocation, Glass-Steagall bank reform, the municipal relief bill and various oil control measures will have to go over until the January ses- sion. SOCIALIST ACCEPTS AS SPANISH PREMIER Prieto, Who Refused Portfolios Under Monarchy, Was in Republic’s Cabinet. By the Associated Press. MADRID, June 10.—Indalecio Prieto, who has held several cabinet posts un- der the republic, today accepted the premiership to succeed Manuel Azana, who resigned Thursday. Senor Prieto is a Socialist. He has served the republic particularly as min- ister of public works and minister of finance, in the latter post his chief task being to keep the peseta from falling. Much of Prieto’s popularity with the | republican regime has been based on the fact that he persistently refused cabinet portfolios offered him from time to time under the monarchy. He was a signer of the revolutionary mani- festo of Niceto Alcala Zamora, now President, in 1930, and thereafter he fled to Laris, where he remained until | the republic triumphed. ROOSEVELT BUSIEST MAN IN DISTRICT AS CONGRESS NEARS END (Continued Prom First Page.) plans for reorganizing the bureau struc- ture of the Government, climaxing work which has been under way since before March 4. Then, too, if he finds time, Mr. Roosevelt expects to throw out the first ball at this afternoon’s Congres- sional base ball game. But the Executive, whether successful in getting Congress out tonight or hav- | ing to wait until Monday, had his own pians all set. Next Thursday night he will leave | Washington and a week from today he | expects to be sailing comfortably up the New England coast towards Campo Bello Island, in Nova Scotia, just across {from the Maine border. Before that, he intends to be present at Priday's graduation from Groton School of his son, Pranklin, jr. That | night he expects to board the schooner Amberjack 2d for his two weeks’ cruise | up_the coast to Eastport, Me. June 22 he intends to put in at Port- land to pick up his boys, Franklin and | John. James will be aboard from the start.* At the end of his vacation, starting probably June 29 from Eastport, the President will board the cruiser In- dianapolis for a speed run trial right down to the mouth of the Potomac River, whence a destroyer will take him back to the Capital. It will be his first real vacation since taking office, but he does not intend it to be the last. After getting every- thing here in shape during July he in- tends to move up to Hyde Park, his are to be located in the big bullding, [ New York State home, for the month | |of August.

President Roosevelt and House Demo- cratic leaders settled a last-minute dis- pute over the veterans' compensation compromise today and the legislation was started toward enactment. The President summoned the House chieftains to the White House early today when he became dissatisfled with some of the changes made last night by the Steering Committee in the phraseology of this substitute proposal. After a two-hour conference Chair- man Pou of the Rules Committee an- nounced: “We have reached a com- plete understanding.” Pou hastened back to the House to submit the revised proposal to a vote. He was accompanied to the White | House by Representatives Patman of Texas and Browning of Tennessee, both Democrats. Action Was Delayed. “We have a meeting of minds on the whole proposition now,” said Pou. House consideration was postponed temporarily while the special commit- tee conferred with the Chief Executive. It was understood that Mr. Roosevelt had objected to an extension from Sep- tember 1 to October 31 of the time in which veterans may receive compensa- tion from the Government because of disabilities presumed to be service con- nected. It was estimated that the change made by the Democratic Steering Com- mittee would have cost the Government $10,000,000. ‘The House had met at 10 a.m. to con- sider a rule under which the compro- |mise would be substituted. Only one hour of debate was to be allowed on the rule of procedure. Adoption would assure approval of the motion by Chair- man Buchanan of the Appropriations Committee to substitute the compro- mise for the Senate amendment. The House ran into delay on the bill shortly after convening, however, and | called a halt to allow a committee to consult with the President on some de- tails in_the veterans compromise pro- posal. Representative Byrns of Tennes- see, the Democratic leader, declined to divulge any details. Both sides had yielded yesterday to reach an agreement after almost a week of negotiations. 25 Per Cent Limit Fixed. The veterans’ advocates in the House, working with House leaders, won on their point to 1limit reductions on service-connected and in presumptive cases to 25 per cent. The President held to his principle of permitting the Government to strike from the rolls presumptive cases found not to be serv- ice connected. The President yielded, however, to the requests of the House members for provisions for Spanish-American War veterans who are 55 or older. The main points in yesterday’s com- promise were: No service-connected veteran shall receive a cut in compensation of more than 25 per cent. Veterans, presumed to have disabili- ties or disease due to service, are to remain on the rolls until October 31, although their present compensation is to be reduced 25 per cent. As many boards as necessary are to be created by the President to review the presumptive cases with a view to determining whether they are entitled to compensation. Compromise Approved. Pensions for service-connected or presumptive case veterans' widows and children to continue at rates in effect before the economy act was passed. Veterans suffering from diseases con- tracted as a result of misconduct are to be eliminated from the rolls unless it is proved the disease was aggravated as a resflt of service. By issuing regulations, the President is to make provision for Spanish-Amer- ican War veterans of 55 or more, while the pensions for Spanish-American ‘War veterans of 62 or more are to con- tinue under present regulations, re- cently revised to provide increases. The Connally amendment, inserted by the Senate, limited reductions in service-connected and presumptive cases to 25 per cent and was estimated to_cost $170,000,000. President Roosevelt last Sunday night delivered an ultimatum to Democratic House leaders that if this amendment was adopted new taxes would have to be raised. Representative Goldsborough, Dem- | ocrat of Maryland, chairman of the Special Veterans’ Committee, said yes- terday Mr. Roosevelt had informed his group that the compromise, variously estimated to cost between $60,000,000 and $80,000,000, would not necessitate the levying of new taxes. | 'MEDIATOR URGED FOR CUBAN CRISIS Former Ambassador to U. S. Sug- gests Means of Settling Country’s Difficulties. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, June 10.—Dr. Cosme de la Torriente, fdrmer Ambassador to the United States and now a leader of the anti-Machado forces, yesterday urged recourse to a mediator if the opposing factions in Cuba failed to end the pres- ent unrest by themselves. He made this suggestion in answer to the recent offer of President Macha- do of an unprejudiced discussion with his foes in an effort to iron out their differences amicably. ‘The former Ambassador asserted that Cuba was at “the threshold of a state of anarchy.” He added that he be- lieved the government was now .“con- vinced of their own error” in supposing that it could curb the opposition by force. Mistrial Results When Juror Plays Role of Slain Man By the Assoclated Press. BARTOW, Fla, June 10—A juror, apparently suffering from an hallucination that he was the man in whose death another was tried for murder, caused a mis- trial here yesterday just after the jury signed a verdict that was never read. Physicians said the four-day hearing was too much for the juror, Prank Maxwell, and he was taken. from the court room | after a hysterical demonstration at the close of the trial of Charlie Brown for the knife slaying of Jesse B. Grimes. Maxwell wildly cried out that his stomach had been cut, using the words State’s witnesses had quoted as the dying statement of Grimes. State’s Attorney J. C. Rogers said “Maxwell ap- peared to think he was the mur- dered man, suffering as_the murdered man had.” Judge Frank A. Smith immediately ordered a mistrial.

LNDSAY FFER BIOUTOL S Good Will Gesture Made to Roosevelt in Lieu of June 15 Payment. by Neville Chamberlain, chancellotr of the exchequer. The chancellor’s statement will be made before the House of Commons and will make clear the government's position regarding the $75,950,000 in- stallment. Until then, it was learned in well in- formed quarters, no statement regard- ing the debt situation will be issued by official sources. Many newspapers today, speculated on reports that Great Britain will offer the United States a “token” payment of £2,000,000 (currently $8,240,000) on the installment. . Default is generally considered im- possible by the press. A mnote outlining the British views in the matter is ex-| pected in some quarters to be sent to ‘Washington over the week end. FRANCE WILL DEFAULT. Votes of Confidence in Daladier Regime Presages Failure to Pay. PARIS, June 10 (#).—Two parliamen- tary votes of confidence in the foreign policy of Premier Daladier’s govern- ment made it increasingly plain today that France intends again to default on a war debt payment to the United States. The premier outlined his foreign plans, touching on the Italo-French relations, the World Economic Confer- ence, the four-power peace pact, and France's determination to stay on the gold standard, put not a word did he say about the '$40,000,000 installment due the United States next Thursday. Only one of the deputies whom Dal- adier addressed yesterday spoke for the payment, but his opinions were coldly received in the chamber. The two votes, 405 to 169 and 413 to 163, were on an amendment on the order of the day on a pure question of confidence. They gave the premier support for his policy of international collaboration when he goes to London Sunday for the economic parley. Daladier took the votes as meaning acceptance of the recently signed peace treaty, although its formal ratification is still necessary. DEBTOR NATIONS NOTIFIED. By the Associated Press. Notification that war debts will be due next Thursday sped through diplo- matic channels today to capitals already abuzz with controversy over paying or | defaulting. Following formalities customary to the excited week which always precedes | the semi-annual due date, the Wash- | ington Government sent identical notes | to each of the 13 debtor nations which on June 15 will owe the United States a total of $144,179,674. Meanwhile, reports had it that Great Britain, still undecided on paying or defaulting, had dispatched a note to| ‘Washington outlining its attitude toward its $75,950,000 obligations. London talk was that a “token” payment of £2,000,~ 000 had been offered. Transmission Adds Force. In previous instances notifications of installments due were sent direct from the Treasury to the financial heads of the other nations. In this case they were prepared by the Treasury, but given to the State Department for transmission. There was a disposition in some quarters to regard this factor as adding emphasis to the notice, as a reminder of President Roosevelt's position of ex- pecting payment. The debtor nations were extended the usual option of paying in securitie§ instead of cash, a privilege they gen- erally have used. Usually Use Securities. The debt agreements permitted the debtor to pay in securities instead of standard dollars or gold upon 30 days’ notice. In the past the Treasury fre- quently has waived this requirement. Great Britain, France, Belgium and Ttaly always have exercised the option to pay in securities. The smaller na- tions generally have done so depending Ethiopians Flank Yanks on One Side, Estonians on Other By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 10.—As next door neighbors in the World Eco- nomic Conference assembly hall the American delegation, under official seating arrangements an- nounced today, will have the dark-skinned Ethiopians on one side and the Estonians on the other. The delegations will be seated at desks arranged in alphabetical order under French names, and thus the United States is “Etats- Unis D'Amerique.” The French delegation will be only a short ;flstsnce removed from the Amer- cans. SLASHIND. C.TAX BURDEN DEMANDED Protective Association Asks Commissioners for Largest Possible Cut. (Continued From First Page) officials of our local governmeni will consider the problem before them care- fully and generously and adequately help relieve the tax burden of the peo- ple of Washi > The brief submitted by the associa- tion went into considerable detail, showing the heavy slashes made in approlations for the new year, the amount of the tax burden now borne by owners of real estate, and called at- tention to the increasing list of prop- erties sold for non-payment of taxes. Attention also was called to the re- ductions in salaries of government and other workers here and to estimates submitted to Congress some time ago by Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District auditor, that there were prospects ofsa surplus in District revenues at the end of the next fiscal year amounting to as much as $6,000,000. Lusk called attention also to the fact that the per capita real estate tax in 1920 was $14.49, amounting to 59.7 per cent of all the general revenues paid by residents of Washington. He said that in 1932 the per capita real estate tax had increased to $41.05, supplying 67.7 per cent of the general revenues. He said this was an increase of 183 per bl cent per capita in the real estate tax and 14 per cent of the portion it pays of the whole tax burden. Taxpayer Mystified. Lusk said that the taxpayer is wondering why his tax bills either have remained stationary or have been in- creased while everything he buys locally has dropped in price. He said while the per capita tax bill has increased 166 per cent in 12 years, in Washington, the cost of living has dropped 33 per cent. “We do not ask the Commissioners to do the impossible or to take undue risks,” the association’s statement con- tinued. “But we do submit in the light of recent statements of Congress and of officials of the District of Columbia that the cut we ask, about 20 per cent, which would amount to $4,293,000, 15 the least the taxpayers are entitled to. The association submitted a table showing the effects of various cuts in the tax rate, which might be ordered, contending that a reduction to $1.36 from the present rate of $1.70 still would leave an estimated surplus in revenues at the end of the next fiscal year of $1,807,000. In addition to the two spokesmen, the hearing was attended by Jdmes McD. Shea and James C. Wilkes. Edward C. Baltz, prominent building and loan as- sociation official, who is chairman of the board of the taxpayers body, was unable to be present. —e WINS QUILT PRIZE Kentuckian’s Exhibit to Be Given to First Lady. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, June 10.—Margaret R. Caden, Lexington, Ky., today was an- upon the market. If United States securities were sell- ing below par, they saved money by buying them for paying their debt in- stallments. | The dispatch of the notes came after | a day in which the British cabinet de- bated the question of paying or default- | ing and a French government spokes- | man explained questions of foreign policy in the Chamber of Deputies, with the debts significantly omitted. At the British cabinet meeting, in- dications developed that a note to the ‘Washington Government was in prep- aration, possibly a formal request for debt revision, lacking which President Roosevelt is holding firmly to his posi- tion of expecting payment. Others Follow Britain. It became increasingly clear that upon the British decision may depend whether several other nations will meet their installments. Rumania, owing an even million dollars, has already an- nounced that she will follow the lead of Great Britain, which owes $75,950,000. Advices from Rome were that the Italian government was waiting for | London to act before deciding whether | to pay the $13,545438 it has falling | due. Dispatches from Paris reflected a | general belief that default on the $40.- | 738,000 French payment was virtually inavitable. Belgium has already notified { the Washington Government that it | cannot pay. HERR SRty T Ex-Premier’s Father Dies.

Leads;;l‘Morgan Probe Discourage Secret Sessions| Committee Decides to Let Members Talk About Executive Meetings. By the Associated Press. Discouraged by the outcome of its attempts to keep proceedings in execu- tive sessions secret, the Senate Bank- ing Committee, which has been con- ducting the investigation of J. P.

The only star to gain on Goodman in the early stages was Craig Wood BIG TUBNOUT SEEN AT CONGRESS GAME President to See House Rivals Clash on Diamond if He Can Get Away. Favorable weather and a prospect of seeing President Roosevelt throw out the first ball promised a great turnout of fans at Griffith Stadium this after- noon as Democratic and Republican members of the House prepare for their annual base ball game. The teams were in good shape and eager for competition, despite the ex- hausting"day and night rush for the adjournment of Congress. And at the White House it was said this morning the President will be on hand “if he can possibly leave his desk.” Base ball was only one phase of the entertainment at the game, whichP is being played for the benefit of the un- employed. To start with Gene Tunney, retired heavyweight champion, will be umpire, and Al Jolson, stage and screen star, his assistant, ‘Wrestling Show on Program. It is probable that Jolson's wife, Ruby Keeler, also film star, will be on hand. The program includes a wrestling show with Joe Turner, promoter, oppos- ing Dutch Green and George Zaharias 'tackling Everett Marshall. Nick Alt- rock, base ball jester, probably will be the honorary referee. The teams will have as mascots a donkey and elephant, according to Granville Gude, chairman of the Enter- tainment Committee, Rival Managers Cenfident. Rival managers issued predictions of victory just prior to the encounter. While admitting that the Democratic team is in a sense the “home” team this year anyhow, and will be much en- couraged when the President pitches in the first ball, Manager Charles D. Millard is confident his mates will “take” the Democrats. Representative Kelly, manager of the Democrats, is equally confident. In order to insure plenty of Demo- cratic rooters, Representative McMillan of South Carolina has engaged eight boxes for Boy and Girl Scouts of Charleston, who will attend in uniform.

A heavy rainfall hit the course at 4 am. The fairways were considerably slower as a consequence. The wind also was brick and getting brisker, while the mercury began another rapid ascent. Joe Kirkwood got off to a bad start, losing three strokes to par through the third. After a 4 on the first hole, Joe was in the rough on the second, approached too .strong and then took three putts for a 6. He pulled his tee shot into a sand trap on the 167- yard third and carded a 4. Wood, the big money winner of the year, shot with precision as he started 4—4—3, one under par. Thus he closed the three-stroke gap separat- ing him from Kirkwood without delay. Goodman Off Weil. Goodman started at 8:40 with Mac Smith, and a gallery of nearly 1,000 spectators. ‘Walter Hagen, with only the slimmest of outside chances to get back into the running, saved a par on the first hole with a great recovery from a trap.

Home nicely with a good drive and No. 8 iron on the fifth, Goodman got his par 4 easily. He was in trouble on the next hole around the green, how- ever, and had to sink a 35-footer to save his 4. Sarazen Shooting Works. “It looks to me like 290 or 291 would win,” said Gene Sarazen, before start- ing his third round, 10 shots behind Gootaml.n. “If I could start my last round with 220, I might still have a chance,” the champion added. He needed a 69 to do it. “If T don’t break 70 I'll probably be up in the 80s,” said Gene. “There’s no use playing safe now.” Tommy Armour, 2 shots behind Goodman at the start of his third round, lost another stroke on the first His gallery increased to nearly 2,000 effected. nent people have planned parti the afternoon. 2 — SENATE VOTES FARM CREDIT AGENCY BILL | Measure Consolidates Corporations, Banks and Co-Operatives Under One Head.
