SHOWDOWN TODAY OVER FOOD LOANS URGED BY SENATE House Leaders Will Move Disagreement a Instruct Conferees Accordingly LAGUARDIA ALSO TO PUSH HIS PROPOSAL Wants Cities To Share In Any Relief Fund; Mrs. Pearl Oldfield Makes Strong Plea for Relief of Sick and Hungry in Arkansas and Other Drought States Washington, Jan. was way opened today for a showdown in the House tomorrow on the Senate's $15,000,000 food provision for drought sufferers. The Republican leaders will move that the House disagree to the Senate proposal, and send it to conference, with a view to its elimination. Democrats plan to propose that the conferees be instructed to accept Administration leaders said, however, they expected their forces suecessfully to resist such a move.

At the same time, Representative Laguardia, New York Republican, plans to propose that the conferees be instructed to vote that whatever, if any, fund agreed upon for food be distributed without limitation as to classes, occupation or residence. Although President Hoover's approval of a call to the country for $10,000,000 to be contributed to the Red Cross has somewhat curbed the enthusiasm of some proponents of a direct food appropriation, Minority Leader Garner declared that at least 150 members would vote for the Senate proposal. The House rules committee broke a six-day deadlock by granting legislative right of way to the question of sending the bill to conference. Demands Relief. Shortly after Chairman Snell of the rules committee, introduced his measure, which could not, under the rules, be acted upon today, Representative Pearl Peden Oldfield, in her first speech, in the House, supported the Senate amendment.

She demanded relief for the sick and hungry in Arkansas. Walking quietly into the well of the chamber, where her late husband had led many legislative battles as Democratic whip, the slender, black-garbed woman told in a but low voice, of the conditions in her State. "I want to say that the situation is distressing and most grave," she said, "with cold, sickness and actual starvation in many sections. I am sure you will agree with me that it is a national disgrace to permit any of our people to continue to suffer hunger in this land of plenty, but such is the case now in Arkansas, and something must be done, and at once, not only to save the people of Arkansas, but to save our national honor, also." Asserting that no one could accuse her of attempting to play politics, the Arkansas woman declared her only interest was "the broad. unselfish humanitarian interest that I know we all have when the facts are fully understood." care how the situation is met," she continued, "but it must be alleviated and that most speedily; otherwise, disease and actual starvawill promptly remove the necessity for a delayed futile gesture." Not Sufficient.

Asking whether the allotment of two cents a meal was ample to sustain life and guard health, Mrs. Oldfield added: "This is the amount the Red Cross is furnishing per meal for each person. The Red Cross has stated it has not sufficient funds to give more." "Under ordinary conditions, she said, she would oppose the fifteen million dollar food provision, but she added, "This is an extraordinary situation and I feel that the end sought to be accomplished justifies any honorable, means." said she was "delighted that the President has made an appeal for contributions to the Red Cross this purpose." The other woman member from Arkansas--Effiegene Wingo-presented to the House a telegram from a personal friend, describing the recent food disturbance at England, Arkansas. Another proposal to raise funds for the unemployed and drought stricken was made in a bill by Representative Ackerman, Republican, New Jersey, to print a billion twocent stamps to sell for three cents, the extra penny, to gO for a relief fund. He estimated $5,000.000 would be realized within ten Requests for early hearings on their proposals to appropriate funds for the Red Cross were laid before the House agriculture committee by Representatives Laguardia and Fish, of New York.

No date was set for a hearing. Laguardia proposes an outlay of 000,000, while Fish's proposal is for Tennessee Bonds.

PAYNE LAUNCHES RED CROSS DRIVE Calls Upon Nation To Contribute Ten Millions To Help Drought Sufferers Washington, Jan. campaign of the Red Cross to raise $10,000,000 in public contributions for drought relief was started tonight. Chairman John Barton Payne in telegrams to 3,000 Red Cross chapters, assigned quotas to be raised, and added: "We must not fail." Drought relief work by the Red Cross so far has taken $1,254,000, and demands for relief have greatly, increased in the last ten days, with pollution of water supply caused by dying cattle adding to the hardships of winter in some sections, Payne said.

"A minimum of $10,000,000 is needed to prevent untold suffering and actual starvation by thousands of families," Payne said in his telegram, which advised chapters of the approval by President Hoover, head of the Red Cross, of the relief campaign. Pleas for in volRealize Seriousnested ume in the last three or four days over those received in the previous four months, Red Cross officials said, adding that relief workers report that "chapter chairmen have only recently begun to realize the seriousness of the situation." In one un-named county, the Red Cross chairman considered distress reports were exaggerated 30 days ago but today requested relief for 250 families and feared many more would prove to be in need. In Kentucky, a Red Cross, worker reported "where surveys showed 125 families would need help, now. to chapters find believe they there are are feeding others still to apply who are just as needy." Officials described as "typical" the following telegram from Laflore county, Mississippi: "Number of families now being aided is 608. This, number will increase, we think, 1,800.

The Independent Republican coalition leaders in the tariff battle of 1929-30 led the attack on Brossard. The Senate adjourned for the day without final action and his nomination. Fletcher's nominatiin met disapproval voiced by Senator William E. Borah, Republican, Utah, who objected that the choice of President Hoover for commission chairman was not a tariff expert.

Gunn, Negro, chained to the ridgepole of a little white country schoolhouse, died in flames today, victim of a mob's vengeance. Neither civilian officers nor a NaGuard battery, mobilized to him, interfered after those who resorted to, lynch law had wrested Gunn, confessed murderer, from the automobile of Sheriff Harve England and marched and dragged him three miles to the school. There, eye-witnesses said, he was taken to the place where the battered, partly nude and violated body of Velma Colter, 19-year-old school teacher, had been found, and made to repeat a confession of complicity in her death. The school room furniture was piled about the building. Gunn was forced to mount a ladder to the roof and creep to the ridgepole.

Shingles were removed to permit him to be fastened by chains to the rafters of the building. Roof, floors and furniture were drenched with gasoline and a moment later a burst of flame reached the Negro. The victim waved at the mob once before the flames reached his flesh, then writhed and screamed until he died. Troops Ready. Battery, 128th Field Artillery, had been mobilized on orders of A.

Yours, Reducing most of the State institutions and departments to the lowest levels in a decade, the budget presented to the General Assembly last night by Governor O. Max Gardner recommends total appropriations for general fund purposes for the biennium beginning July 1, 1931 of 346,801, as compared to $39,656,742 appropriated in 1929 and proposes additional taxes estimated to yield $3,000,000 a year. Necessity of both reducing appropriations increasing revenue due to than failure of the 1929 legislature to balance the budget and to a shrinking of revenue collections on account of the financial depression. The document containing the budget was laid on the desks of members and a brief budget message was read in each House from the Governor, who did not appear in person. The Revenue and Appropriation bills carry out the recommendations will follow the Budget and the latter was circulated last night With the $13,000,000 equalizing fund donated to the counties for publie schools in 1929 remaining stationery in the new budget and debt service requirement of $7,432,824 reduced only to $7,032,161, practically the full brunt of the $4,309,941 cut 113 imum appropriations for the next biennium falls upon the departments and institutions.

A total of 000 was saved from appropriations for this biennium by an executive cut of ten per cent last vear and one of 20 per cent this year against institutions and departments. These drastic cuts are nearly all made permanent in the new budget and in addition there is incorporated in the budget Governor Gardner's recommendation for a 10 per cent cut in all salaries, the saving to the general fund from this source being $680,000 of the $4,000,000 estimated entire cut, which also effects county and city employes and school teach- WILLIAM H. MURRAY CHAMBER AGAINST SHOALS PROPOSAL Says Federal Operation Not Economically Justified; More Conferences Washington, Jan. operation of Muscle Shoals was opposed today by the president and the chairman of the board of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. In a letter to the 1,700 member organizations of the national association, William Butterworth, the president, said "whatever may have justified differences of opinion in the past as to what should be done wth these properties, evidence is now conclusive that federal operation of them, in whole or in part, can serve no useful purpose." At the same time, Julius H.

Barnes, chairman of the board, said in a statement that "government operation of the Muscle Shoals plant cannot be justified from the viewpoint either of economic enterprise or of national policy." The member organizations of the national chamber have voted overwhelmingly that the Muscle Shoals should be sold or leased, as is, on the best possible terms." Not Economical. "While the discussion has been proceeding over years," Butterworth wrote, 'there have been such developments in the fixation of nitrogen that it is now demonstrated the plants at Muscle Shoals cannot be economically used either for national defense or fertilizer." Meanwhile, at the Capitol talk of a disagreement between the House and Senate conferees was again revived despite the apparent accord reached last week, when a majority of the House managers accepted government construction of transmission lines. The controversy has now been transferred to the leasing provisions of the nitrate plant. Numerous informal conferences today failed to develop an agreement acceptable to Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, author of the government operation bill. The House conferees are agreed on writing the most attractive possible leasing provisions which would permit the production of electrochemical products other than izer.

The reduction of the entire budget is 11 per cent, but the effect upon the several groups most involved is as follows: Executive departments: From 635 for two years to $337,840 for two years, a reduction of $45,795 o1 12.2 per cent. Administrative departments (exeluding the $13,000,000 equalizing fund): From $4,963,440 to $3.979,700, a reduction for the two years of $983,740 or 19.9 per cent.

Educational institutions: From $5,708,065 to $4,134,250, a reduction for two years of $1,573,815 or 27.6 per cent. Charitable and correctional institutions: From $4,241.395 to $3,744.500, a reduction for the two years of $496,895 or 11.7 per cent. The percentage reduction for the other institutions in the last group would be somewhat heavier it the State Prison were eliminated since institution received an priation of only $50,000 during this biennium but there is recommended an appropriation of $135,000 for each year of the next biennium, the prison having shown expenditures of $52.000 last year with an additional estimated deficit of $320,000 for this year. Institutions Fare Better. However, the charitable and correctional institutions fared much better on a comparative basis at the bands of the budget makers than did the other groups, the recommended appropriations being almost without an exception above actual expenditures at present although below the 1929 appropriations while the educational institutions and the departments were cut well below present expenditures with the exception of the Department of Revenue.
