ALLEN Farm Legislation Lost in Maze of Buck - Passing ; Wallace Didn't Fight; Old-Line Old-Line Leaders Opposed Crop Control ; Then Price of Cotton Cot-ton Tumbled ; Roosevelt Won't Allow Cotton Loans Unless Its Production is Limited; "Cotton Ed" Smith Wants Price Pegged At 12 Cents, Junket For "Study." WASHINGTON Behind all the hullabaloo and alibis as to why there will not be farm legislation this session, there is a very simple story. It can be told in three words too much buck-passing. .First, the President passed the buck to Secretary Henry Wallace. That clear-thinking but timid idealist then passed it to the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. They passed it to the old-line farm leaders, and they, in ' turn, passed it right back, and the run-around started ail over again. That in a nut-shell is the whole story. Actually, the President has wanted new crop control legislation legisla-tion ever since the Supreme Court axed the AAA. From time to time last winter andspring he dropped remarks to that effect. But Whereas Where-as he did not hesitate to send specific bill to Congress on court reorganization, wages and hours, and government reorganization, he was strangely hesitant on the ,farm question. 3Ieanwhile Wallace has wobbled all over the lot.

Sugar Marketing Bill Debate Uill Come Tomorrow WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U.R) Senate leaders plan to open debate de-bate tomorrow on a sugar marketing market-ing bill designed to compromise differences between the Congressional Congres-sional sugar bloc and the administration. admin-istration. The senate finance committee voted to report a measure restricting restrict-ing production of refined sugar in the Continental United States, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to present levels. Committee action followed a conference between Chairman Pat Harrison, D., Miss., of the finance group and President Roosevelt. Harrison indicated that the dis pute had been adjusted. Mr. Roosevelt Roose-velt said he would postpone judgment judg-ment until he saw the bill's provisions. pro-visions. Discrimination The chief executive had threatened threat-ened to veto the measure, as it passed the house because he charged charg-ed it discriminated against Hawaiian Hawai-ian and Puerto Rican producers through its restrictions. The compromise failed to increase in-crease the amount of refined. sugar su-gar the territories may ship tp the mainland. Refining was fixed on a percentage basis of total United States consumption, exclusive of the amount Cuba is allowed to ship to the U. S., as follows: Continental U. S. Refiners, 97.-5004 97.-5004 per cent; Puerto Rico, 2.024 per cent; and Hawaii, 0.4756 per cent. Baseball Scores NATIONAL LEAGUE Pittsburgh Chicago .-.

CHANG PING, NORTH CHINA, Aug. 11 (HE) The imperial Japanese army today launched a smashing- attack on strong Chinese forces defending the historic Nankow Pass through which the Pelplng-Suiyuan rail-way rail-way leads from the flat plains of north China into the mountains along the great wall. Nankow In Flames The city of Nahkow with Ita railroad yards, was in flames, but had not been occupied. Japanese said, however, that they had captured Chinese positions posi-tions fronting the pass and in the immediate outskirts of the city de- Chlriese were' entrenched across the rocky bed of the Sha river, which flows down from Mongolia Mon-golia through the pass, and were astride the railway. Control of the pass traditionally involves control of the great interior in-terior provinces of Chahar and Suiyuan from which the last Japanese Jap-anese were driven last month by veteran Chinese . divisions commanded com-manded by Gen. Fu Tso-Yl and Gen. Tan En-Po. Meanwhile, a Japanese cruiser and destroyer, vanguard of a battle bat-tle fleet arrived with reinforcements reinforce-ments at Shanghai after a race at full speed across the China Sea from Japan. Eighteen more warships, loaded with bluejackets, were expected at any hour, Japanese sources said. Japanese informants said that navy authorities here awaited only the arrival of the mam body of their reinforcements to hand the Chinese a series of stringent demands, de-mands, probably in ultimatum form, based on the killing of a Japanese navy officer and a seaman sea-man in a fight near the Chinese airdrome in the Hungjao suburb.
