A2 » HOUSE PREPARING FOR FISCAL BILLS Hearings on Some Appro- priation Measures May Be Started in December. BY WILL P. KENNEDY, The incoming sessicn of Congress will deal more deliberately with the appropriation bills than in many years for two reasons. First, the House must take time to organize and fill 12 vacancies on the Appropriations Committee, including chairmanships of several subcommittees. Second, heretofore the principal business of the short session, conven- ing in December, was to get the ap- propriation bills passed before March 4. Now Congress opens a month later, and must reorganize instead of con- tinuing with the same organization. But it has until the close of the fiscal Readers' Guide and News Summary The Sunday Star, Nov. 15, 1936. PART ONE. Main News Section. NATIONAL. Help for farm tenants goal of U. 8, Wallace declares.

A delegation of 40 persons, largely composed of Washingtor realtors, their wives, and officials of Govern- ment housing agencies, left last night for the annual convention of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards in New Orleans this week. ‘The convention is expected to be the largest in point of attendance since prior to the depression, and the most important 'in the last decaae from the gtandpoint of problems to be settled. The realtors plan to draft a program for their business which will serve through the period of prosperity which they feel has arrived.

Secretary of Commerce Roper 'will atart the new National Radio Forum series tomorrow night over WRC and & coast-to-coast network of other Na- tional Broadcasting Co. stations. “Status of Trade and Commercial Relationships” is Secretary Roper’s topic. He is expected to reveal for the first time some of the policies to be followed by his department during the next four years of the New Deal.

So the Budget Bureau unofficially and con- | fidentially submitted proof sheets of estimates in advance of the official action by the President in presenting the budget to Congress. This same course may be followed | this year, but Chairman Buchanan of the Appropriations Committee has not yet indicated when he expects to start hearings, and so the confidential draft of estimates has not yet been re- quested. It would take the committee clerks only a few days, with the co- operation of the Government Printing Office, to get the estimates in shape for subcommittee consideration, so that, if Chairman Buchanan desires, the hearings on several appropriation bills may yet be started early in De- cember. This all depends on what legislation the new Congress will tackle, and whether it will require eny appropriation bills early. 12 Vacancies to be Filled. ‘There are eight Democratic and four Republican vacancies on the House Appropriations Committee, and four subcommittee chairmanships 1o | be filled. These are chairmen of Dis- trict of Columbia, War and Agricul- ture, and State, Justice, Commerce and Labor Subcommittees. These four latter departments are all included in one bill. ‘The eight Democratic vacancies are caused by the absence of William B. Oliver, Alabama, chairman of the State, Justice, Commerce and Labor bill, who was not a candidate for re- election after 22 years of consecutive service; John N. Sandlin, Louisiana, chairman of the Agricultural appro- priation bill, who was not a candidate for re-election to the House after 16 years of consecutive service because he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Senate in the primary; Tilman B. Parks, Arkansas, chairman of the War Department appropriation bill, who was not a candidate for re-election after 16 years of consecutive service; Willlam J. Granfield, Massachusetts, who was not a candidate for re- election after 8 years' continuous serv- ice because he had been appointed to a Jjudgeship; Thomas L. Blanton, Texas, who was acting chairman on the Dis- | trict of Columbia appropriations bill, | and defeated for re-election after 20 years’ service; Bernard M. Jacobsen, Jowa, who died on June 30, after re- nomination; Marion A. Zioncheck, ‘Washington, who died August 7, while campaigning for re-election, and Ed- ward C. Moran, jr., Maine, who was not a candidate for re-election, having received another appointment. The Republican vacancies are Clar- ence J. McLeod, Michigan, who was defeated for re-election after 16 years' service; Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, Cali- fornia, defeated after 12 years’ con- secutive service; John T. Buckbee, Illinois, who died on April 23, and Chester C. Bolton, Ohio, chairman of the Republican Congressional Com- mittee, who was defeated after eight years’ consecutive service.

One calls for the establishment of the seniority rule, a second for in-| creased vigilance against displace- | ment of permanent employes by emergency workers, a third for pay- . ment of not less than time and one- | half for overtime, which includes all | Sunday work, and a fourth in sup- picking for scores of boy friends.

Secretaries of State in each State are being enlisted in the committee's drive to uncover all contributions— an extremely complicated task. 12,000 Pages of Data. More than 12,000 pages of expendi- tures reports already have been filed with the clerk of the House, in addi- tion to a mass of data collected by the Senate committee. Another report, dealing with politi- cal coercion and spending in States where the election was particularly hard-fought, is being prepared by Chief Investigator Louis R. Glavis, Jefferys said. The committee's preliminary studies were said to have shown that “com- pletely novel” methods of influencing the electorate were developed in the last campaign. Purchase of magasines for political purposes and greatly expanded use of moving pictures, sound trucks and broadcasting were mentioned by Jef- ferys as “noteworthy developments.” " Ho (Continued From First Page.) ward | dent at Howard University walk out!l. - Mon., Nov. 16th.

In addition to the lack of a train- ing table, the foot ball players also complained of inadequate equipment, proper quarters to assure ‘“proper rest” for the team and a more ex- perienced and trained coaching staff.. “If Howard is going to continue to have foot ball” the school paper editorial declared, “these things must be provided.” Although dissension was known to be brewing among the players after they suffered overwhelming defeats in previous games, the walkout of the team reacted like a bombshell to Coach Payne. Coach Expresses Himself. After Virginia Union had been de= clared winner by a 1-0 forfeit because of the failure of Howard's players to appear, Payne expressed himself: “The boys really let me down. I tnew nothing about it, It came out of a clear sky.” But the players said they were the ones that been undergoing a “letting down” process. They agreed unanimously with the Hilltop's | editorial, which stated: | “The athletic budget has been cut 80 in the last few years that it has | been necessary to purchase equipment of an inferior quality. This faulty | equipment is responsible in so many | instances for serious injuries suffered | by players. With this poor equipment. | the team has to go against teams with | the last word in foot ball equipment. What protection is there for these | Howard students who sacrifice their |time and energy for the honor and glory of their alma mater?” | A co-ed sympathizer, writing to the | college paper, expressed these senti~ | ments: - | *“Considerable unrest 1s beginning to be manifested by the student body at not only the losing streak of How=- ard’s team but also at the number of injuries suffered by members of the foot ball team. “Many of the students feel that the situation can be relieved by the estabe lishment of training tables. These tables will serve a dual purpose. Thr¢ will insure the proper feeding of our athletes and will promise good fel~ lowship among them. “Many of the young men attending Howard find it cheaper to board in the city than in the dormitory. They don’t know, not having had courses the right foods to eat. Ice cream, pie, hot dogs and ale are certainly not good resistance builders, and the men who subsist almost solely on them are certainly not strong enough to resist those corn bread and cabbage-fed players from other col- in dietetics, leges. It was pointed out by members of the foot ball team that the university operates a foot ball training table for two weeks prior to the opening of class, but closes it before the season actually gets underway. —_———— .
