PICKARD " EMOCRATIC and radical Repub- -' llcans In the senate combined last .week to deal a rebuff to the farm reBy EDWARD lief plans of President Hoover and bis administration. The McNary bill was under consideration in the upper house and the elements named succeeded In Inserting Info that measure the export debenture scheme to which the President had declared his opposition. The senate committee on agriculture already had declared self In favor of the plan, which the bouse had rejected when It passed the Haugen bill. The motion of Senator ,Vatson of Indiana to eliminate the debenture provision from the McNary measure was beaten by a vote of 44 to 47. In this Consideration of the line-u- p rote leads the unprejudiced observer to the conclusion that the supporters of the debenture plan were not necessarily sincere. Their number Included all but two of the Democratic senators (Ransdell of Louisiana and Wagner of New York) and thirteen Repub- licans, nearly all of whom are classed as radicals. The Democrats had decided to make a party Issue of the natter, and the radicals have a habit ef opposing the "regular" Republicans. Senator Johnson of California was among those who spoke for the debenture scheme, and he could not refrain from giving Mr. Hoover some alaps. There was no doubt that the McNary $111 would be passed after consideration of some suggested amendments, and it was equally certain that When It went to conference the house conferees would Insist on the elimination of the export debenture provision. It was understood In Washington that President Hoover would veto the farm bill rather than permit It to become taw with that plan Included. As approved by the senate the debenture provision authorizes the farm board to provide an export bounty on any or all farm products. The bounty of the exwould be equal to one-haisting tariff rates on the same comDebentures equivalent to modity. these rates would be Issued by the Treasury department to exporters who could realize cash by selling them to Importers. The debentures would be redeemable In the payment of customs duties on all kinds of Imports. lf conflict PROMISING even a sharperthe new legislation, tariff bill was Introduced In the house with the backing of the Republican majority of the ways and means committee and the united opposition of the members. The formula-tor- s of the measure, seeking to conform with the President's wish to avoid, as far as possible. 111 feeling and retaliatory action by Canada and other countries, did not raise the tariff duties on agricultural products nearly as high as the farm organizations had desired ; and, according to the Democratic spokesmen, they did Increase the duties on many articles Which the farmer buys. Republican congressmen of the Central and Far Western states also were dissatisfied With the agricultural features of the bill. Meat duties are about doubled, and this pleases the farm groups, but their request for a tariff on hides was rejected. The rates on sugar are considerably Increased, sugar Importations from the Philippines being ex-- : cepted. This brought loud walls from Cuba sugar producers and Importers of Cuban sugar and from bottlers of carbonated beverages and other groups, and the farmers, as users of sugar, also objected. Tine bill Is more inclusive than Mr. Hoover desired. Space Is lacking for even a summary of the bill as offered in the house. In Its entirety It pleased scarcely anyone, Rome of Its clauses being, distasteful to administration congressmen as well as to the Democrats. So It waa certain that there would be a Democratic TJARRT F. SINCLAIR, oil magnate, Is In the Washington Jail serving out his sentence of 90 days for contempt of the senate. But still his foes are not satisfied. MaJ. William Peake, superintendent of the Jail, declared his noted prisoner would be given no special privileges; but Dr. Morris Uyraan, the Jail physician, needed a pharmacist, and as Sinclair Is the holder of a degree In pharmacy he was assigned to the Job. This saved him from being put In the "bull gang at the Occoquan workhouse brick factory. Then suddenly an order was issued by George S. Wilson, director of the local board of public welfare, barring newspaper men from the Jail while Sinclair Is a prisoner there. Naturally this created something of a rumpus and Senator Heflln of Alabama took the occasion to make a speech denouncing what he called "official truckling to a millionaire criminal.' Other senators admitted they were making Inquiries Into rumors that the oil man was receiving undue consideration, some of these rumors coming by "grapevine" from his fellow prisoners. , ALFRED CONGRESSMAN Chicago Is "not guilty" of Importing liquor Into the United States from Havana. So declared the Jury which heard the case against Mlchaelson In Key West, Fla. The government proved that the congressman and his party brought six trunks labeled with his name, that one of them leaked at Jacksonville and that two of them were found to contain liquor. But Walter Gramm of Michael-soof Chicago, brother-in-lacame to the rescue and swore that those two trunks were his and that the legislator didn't know what was In them, and Mlchaelson testified to the same effect. Therefore the Jury brought In a verdict of acquittal. Gramm, standing on his constitutional rights, refused to tell what he had put in the trunks. Federal officials very promptly arrested the complaion nearly the same sant brother-in-lacharges 'brought against the congressman. M. n, for an agreement on German based on a plan offered by Owen D. Young, one of the American experts, Is not abandoned but seems rather slim. The details of the plan have not been made public, but protests are made by England, France and Belgium, each of which fears It would suffer by the proposed revised schedule of payments. None of them Is willing to have Its receipts from Germany cut down, especially If the United States makes no further concessions In the allied debts due It The British government was trying to stall off any parliamentary discussion of the matter because of the pending elections, but Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill told the house of commons that the proposals In question would be lnacceptable to the Baldwin cabinet HOPE manner by which these discussions are to be Initiated has not yet been determined, but the question will b followed up promptly."

Thirdly, Tom Mix, hero of scores of "Westerns," waa Indicted by a federal grand Jury In Los Angeles on charges of withholding $100,000 In Income taxes and conspiring to defraud the government out of about $75,000 In Income taxes for the years 1025, 1926 and 1927 The conspiracy charge Is also made of against E.

Cross ventilation Is most desired. It Is not best to have bedrooms opening directly into the living room. If possible, entrance should be from a passage or hallway. Ample clothes closets are most necessary, particularly In small houses where there is little room for storage.
