This'll be a welcome change, too, because the Upper Chamber's activities have been rather drab during recent years. The U. S. Seriate has been hardly recognizable as the same legislative body which spawned such figures as Clay and Webster. Even the operations of the late Bob Cotton Program, An Idea Theft Worked we. situation was before this program, all need to know is: Last season's exports totaled only bales, the j lowest sales abroad since the Civil War. At the end of that season the cotton carryover was a record 14,500,000 bales, representing a steady accumulation over a four-yeperiod, Under the newly authorized export plan the expectations are that we will ship some 6,500,000 bales abroad by the end of the normal season next July 31. This would be the largest total since the 1933-3- 4 year when some 7,550,000 bales were exported. This hasn't involved any "dumping." Export markets haye not been disturbed because cotton consumption abroad has been rising and stocks abroad are quite low. Of course huge surpluses don't vanish in a season, for new output has to be added to the pile. This year's crop is figured to total 13,150,000 bales. If we export 6,500,000 bales and use an estimated at home, the total for the season For some years America's great cotton- producing industry has been in dire trouble. High support prices severely dam aged its position! in t)ie world market, and led to mountainous surpluses at home. But now things are at last looking up. The key to the improvement is in a law passed by Congress which authorized the Agriculture Department to sell .cotton abroad at competitivje market prices.

Present indications are that California, growing apace as usual, may be so bulging with people that it will pick up perhaps seven new seats for a total of 37. Florida and Texas, father meccas for mi grating Americans, are bound to gain ma terially, too. Since the grand total is held at 435, these gains mean that other states must lose. New Work, for all its size and its probable population advances, will be moving ahead at a slower percentage pace than the big magnet states. Consequently it may drop two or three of its present 43 seats. The "status quo' is getting to be a I Thus the net slash in the big backlog will be around 2,350,000 bales, leaving some 12,000,000 out Of the original surplus of 14,500,000. i q Obviously, the likely remainder will be so great that cheering will have to be restrained. But prospects for continued improvement in this vital sector of American farming are reasonably bright. About 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 acres of cotton land are to be placed in the soil bank. Therefore the 1957 crop should be considerably smaller. Maintenance of a good level of exports for a few more yeaite under the present pricing plan in combination with reduced output could make a real bite in the burdening surplus. The lawmakers and Agriculture Secretary Benson, who experimented with the export program before it was tried large scale, deserve full credit for a- and evidently effective approach to a per-picAiug prom em.

There are many reasons for expecting a more lively meeting of this heretofore great debating society.

Europe's big independent Communist leader. It has long been evident that Tito, foreseeing the loosening of Russia's grip on its satellites, hoped to become the No. 1 man among Eastern European Red leaders. Now he has taken the first active step in that direction by sending a mission to Warsaw to visit Wladyslaw Gomulka, who has won independent Communist status for Poland. Dispatches report the Yugoslav delegates will advise. Gomulka to seek economic aid from the United States. Tito's Move" Unwelcome Tito's move can hardly be welcomed by the Soviet government. Russia has troubles enough at the moment without any chiseling in by Tito. It may not be entirely a coincidence that just when the Yugoslav delegation started for Warsaw, the Moscow press and radio opened a new attack on Tito. The Russians based their attack on a speech made on Dec. 7 by Yugoslav Vice President Edvard Kardelj. Kardelj criticized Russia's intervention in the Hungarian rebellion and called, for "liberaliher . . l.

Senator Kefauver, in fact, will be one of the men most likely to try to pep up the Senate show. He has always worked hard to keep hU performance lively and interestwants to take over the SenaU ing. It's reported tKSt antimonopoly investigation, which could be turned into a feature attraction. It's also reported that some of his advisers are urging him to spend some time mending fences with his colleagues for help in the political battles ahead. YOUNG, handsome Sen. John F. Kennedy who scared the daylights out of Senator Kefauver at the national convention by almost grabbing the V.P. spot, is another one who'll be trying to put some juice into this session. Senator Kennedy's national reputation is mostly based on the appeal to women, authorship of a g book, a good family background and an outstanding war record. He has yet to build a solid reputation as a forceful Senate leader. Illness has hampered him. But he is sure to try to win a new recognition in the Senate to take advantage of his national political potential. In the same category of young senators who will be trying to enhance budding national reputations are Senators Albert Gore Hubert H. Humphrey and Richard L. Neuberger On the other hand, such eager personality and policy as Senators Lyndon Johnson and Stuart Symington are likely to be lost in term. t.1 this big performance Rumblings from the Hill indicate a growing revolt against Johnson's conservative leadership. THE COLOR on the Republican side is more likely to to come from such newcomers as Jacob Javits of New York and Thurston Morton of Kentucky. Both men know their way around this town and are ambitious. After a stint as U. S. Ambassador to India, Sen. John Sherman Cooper is returning to the Seinate. He never set that body on fire when he was there before. But he has continued to win national respect for his abilities and if sure to be a big wheel among GOP senators. Then there's Sen. William Knowland of California, who is an exception among last sesson's shy solons. He be came better known nationally for what he did and said. He hit numerous national issues hard and won a lot of out-- " state respect. He has a talent for setting off fireworks When things get dull. In addition to the unleashing of al this latent showmanship the session promises to start on a high note of .drama over attempts to end the Senate's filibuster rule.

He is a tough man to tangle with, as Josef Stalin found out. It seems certai that, after the Polish and Hungarian revolts, Tito will steadily increase his influence among satellite leaders. Some of them still stick to the "Stalinist" line. But there is nothing else they can do unless they want to give way to "Titoists.' . , L1ATTRESS CO. ' . PHONE PR M7 N. UNIVERSITy AVE.
