In efforts to find thatsol tion it is our purpose to eooperat with the other signatories to this treaty, including China and Japan.

Some observers latter remark to be an indirect 0 ture to Japan to participate in the nine-power parley. Tokyo have reflected a coolness on the pat of the Japanese government toward the projected meeting. Mr oosevelt said plans for creation of higher living In the United States be seriously affected by events in world outside our borders. -Bv a series of trade agreements, have been attempting to recreate the trade of the world which plays so important a part in our domestic prosperity; but we know that if the world outside our boders falls the world outside our borders falls into the chaos of war, world trade can we view with indifference the destruction of civilized values throughout the world. We seek peace, not only for our generation, but also for the generations of our children.

seek for them the continuance of world civilization in order that their American civilization may continue to be invigorated by the achievements of civilized men and women in the rest of the world. At another point, in referring to the duties of the president, he said: must think not only of keeping us out of war today but aiso of keeping us out of war in generations to come."

reorganization and regional planning were the items the president hoped to have enacted before Christmas. Had there been no call, next meeting would have been its regular one in January. Leaders Confer Mr. announcement followed conferences with several house leaders, including Chairman O'Connor (D-NY) of the rules committee and Chairman Doughton NC) of the ways and means committee. O'Connor, in whose committee the wage and hour bill bogged down last session, predicted it now would be enacted quickly.

Doughton talked taxes with the president and told reporters afterward he believed the budget could be balanced next year without increasing levies. He said that legislation should be confined to adjustments and amendments to the present law with a view to removing any obvious inequities that may be found to President Roosevelt has still to announce whether he will ask again for a reorganization of the supreme possibly start again the dispute which tore the last session to shreds. In addition, there is a possibility that the vigorous policy toward aggressor nations may call for legislation. The bloc" is already apparently ready for a fight. Black Question Due? Beside all these things there is the matter of Associate Justice Hugo L.

Black, admitted former member of the Ku Klux Klan. While the general opinion seems to be that only impeachment can depose him now, plenty of oratory on the new supreme court member is in pros pect. The special session will meet with the Democratic party still laboring through the discordant aftermath of last year's court fight, with factions ready to reshape themselves at any renewed effort to remake the supreme court. Whether, or not, that is Roosevelt has said it is neither out nor increase in the number of judges serving on the lower federal courts is expected at the special or next regular ses sion, possibly in line with the recommendations of the conference of senior circuit court judges. Meeting here in late September, they suggested four new circuit court judges, and 12 new district court judges, as a means of reducing docket congestion in various disputes and thereby speeding the administration of justice.

Crop Control Stressed Mr. Roosevelt has stressed the need for new crop control legislation. Recent official forecasts of a bumper cotton crop drove prices down and stimulated demands of administration officials for trol legislation. An effort to enact farm legislation last session ended in an agreement under which the subject was made the first order of business upon reconvening. The senate agriculture committee has been conducting hearings in the various crop areas.

The wage hour bill, approved last session by the senate, was firmly trapped in the house rules committee by a coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats. The administration problems, where this legislation is concerned, is to get the bill out of the committee and onto the floor of the house. This may be done by petition. If Obituary H. A.

AFL REPULSES CIO INVITATION (Continued from Page 1) Gas Tax Refund To Cities Studied By League HARLINGEN The Texas League of Municipalities will appoint a committee within the next few days to consider the proposal that cities be given part of the auto tax. Mayor Hugh Ramsey said Tuesday. Ramsey returned Tuesday at 11 a. m.

after attending the League convention in Mineral Wells last week. Since the convention closed Friday he has been visiting relative in Dallas, Waco, and San Antonio. Harlingen's mayor presented the proposal on behalf of the Valley Mayor's Association. He said it over and that Robert Lee Bobbitt, chairman of the State Highway Commission, approved of it. Harlingen City Commissioners Neil Madeley, George Waters, and A.

A. Thompson returned from the convention last Friday. sent to the CIO before the council considered the CIO message. Howard Rejected This message was received just before the AFL convention refused to seat Charles P. Howard, CIO secretary, as a delegate.

Howard came to the convention as a delegate from the International Typographical Union. Although Howard has been active in the CIO movement from its start, his union still is in good standing with the AFL. The issue turned out to be somewhat theoretical. While the roll call was being taken, Howard was speeding eastward by train to attend the CIO meeting in Atlantic City, N. J.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (JP) John L. Committee for Industrial Organization asked the American Federation of Labor Tuesday to join it in a conference to seek a common ground for a unified labor movement. In making the proposal, however, 150 leaders of unions affiliated with the CIO endorsed this statement of Philip Murray, chairman of their resolutions committee: committee does not believe that there is any moral justification for compromise on the part of the CIO upon these broad principles of industrial announced when the organization was formed here two years ago.

Immediately the conference notified Frank Morrison, secretary- treasurer of the AFL, now in convention at Denver, of its action. Miller Tria!

There was nothing defiant in the 92-year-old statement. He said he would like to see a joint convention. But, somehow the impression they were not welcome obtained among the dwindling ranks of the men who fought gallantly for a hopeless cause.

TEXAS SENATE APPROVES BILL SLICING FUNDS Action Of House On Measure Uncertain AUSTIN Senate economy forces passed Tuesday a bill whittling $4.875,932 from departmental appropriations for the current biennium. The measure survived reled maneuvering aimed both at lowering its total and attaching amendments to finance the social security program from savings it effected. One odd turn in the economy-dominated chamber was an unsuccessful attempt to tack to the bill a tax of one cent a barrel on oil for revenue for the retirement fund. With its opening wedge driven by clear cut majorities, the economy bloc hoped to push through more reduced appropriations, a program directly opposed to Governor James V.

session call for new revenues. Future Uncertain The new departmental measure faced an uncertain future in the house where Speaker R. W. Calvert said he had asked the attorney general for an opinion whether it was admissible under the call. In the senate, a majority of members had overridden Gov.

Walter F. decision appropriations could not be considered this session. Rep. Harry N. Graves of Georgetown, chairman, said the house appropriations committee would meet Wednesday for discussing procedure.

Opposition to further economy in the senate loomed when regents and presidents of state-supported colleges marshalled forces for fighting reduced expenditures by the colleges. A bill authorizing smaller allotments for colleges was in hands of a sub-committee scheduled to report to the senate finance committee Thursday. R. A. Stuart, president of the board of regents of colleges said school officials felt reduction of the appropriation bill would cause endless confusion and uncertainty and would nullify contracts made and entered into with good faith by the board of Basis Aired He claimed allotments to the institutions of higher learning based on enrollments for 1935-36 and current attendance was 25 per cent higher in most colleges and would be even larger next year.

Nevertheless some senators were on record favoring less expenditures for colleges and there was a possibility the economy drive also would reach the judiciary. Senator L. J. Sulak of La Grange introduced a bill knifing salaries of judges. It did not affect district judges but he said he would introduce an amendent cutting $1,000 from their salaries.
