By (iEOIlUK DOUTHIT Associated Press Correspondent The conference Saturday approved a plan to help underpaid preachers of the conference, tentatively assuring all a salary minimum of $800.

R. H. Cannon, Little Rock, secretary of commission appointed last year to make a study of underpaid preachers, said 25 preachers last year received less than $800 each. He said the survey showed it would have taken a little over $4,000 to make up the deficit to pay up to $800 for each of the 25. The plan adopted.

Saturday calls for life served by to be aided to increase his salary half of the amount up to $800, the conference to pay the other half. A commission, composed of a member from each of seven districts, either minister or layman, will administer the plan. Limitation for the benefits arc to members of conference, young men serving on trial or by appointment of a bishop, and local pastors who have served eight consecutive years as supply pastors in conference. Preachers will make up the fund by paying one per cent of salaries annually. is to bi; voluntary and not an Bishop Moore commented on plan; "If you think you've done something this morning, you're just getting started.

However, you're on the right track, but with lots to do. Everyone of my conferences has done something on this problem.

"How long would that tic up the money?" asked George. "Loss than a week," Danbury replied. "And you'll make a profit of about GO per cent." "That's worth thinking about," said George.

Trailing throe to nothing at the of the second quarter, the Bobcats f.howeil burst offensive to run over three touchdowns and kick Iwn extra points to lend at the half, 20 to 3. During the first half the Bobcats used the old "chicken fight" formation that made many a Pine Bluff High School grid team famous during Foy Mammons' career as mentor there. Hope scored its fourth touchdown in the third quarter and added its final in the fourth period.

Visitors Score First The Russellville team jumped into the lead a few minutes after (he opening kickoff. A Russellville player recovered a-fumble on the Hope 20-yard Kectori and Salmon drove to the 10. Freeman Stone and Hugh went through to toss Salmon for a five-yard loss. On the next play a pass placed the ball on the one-yard line. The hard- charging Bobcat line smeared ball carriers for losses on two consecutive plays.

On third down, Salmon dropped back and booted a beautiful field goal to put Russellville out in front, 3 to 0. Bailey Asserts He May Be Out of Politics MEMPHIS, Tonn.

This is the same Congress which balked the Roosevelt program last spring and summer.

It was summoned into a session opening November 15 to' enact the same that court plan.

D. could get approximately what he wanted from Capi-j tol Hill. Plenty of stormy weather may be safely forecast, but more legislative re-, suits than were Dutchcr! had from the last Congress seem fairly certain.

The issue of centralization of power, both as to expanded federal control and increased presidential powers, will be almost constantly in the foreground. In the background will be general concern with the primaries and elections of 1938, the plotlings of conservatives and liberals thinking in terms of 1940 and efforts of southern and other Democrats to see that Roosevelt doesn't control the next Democratic national convention. Either the domestic business situation or the international situation may lead to developments not now anticipated. The Same Old List The problems before Congress arc all familiar. The proposed wage- hour legislation has as its aim the same chief objective anounced more than four years ago for NRA.

Surplus crop control tried first in 1933, is second on the list. The regional development proposal calls for an extension of the TV A idea through the nation. Government reorganization, Roosevelt's fourth special session item, has been talked of and vainly stabbed at for 25 years. Anti-monopoly legislation, if any, will be a new attempt to meet an ancient issue. They're all old, but they're also all hotly controversial.

Few will be surprised if no important legislation is passed before Christmas. 'Die special session and the regular session beginning in January almost immediately afterward may be considered as a whole. Diverse and Two-edged The factors to be weighed in speculating as to the extent Roosevelt will get what ho asks are diverse and often two-edged.

Yet the point is made that enthusiasm for Roosevelt doesn't mean effective popular support on specific issues and there seems no enthusiastic mass furore over any item on his current program.
