House Slashes Parity
Payments Funds In
Face Of Roosevelt
Plea Of Retention
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (OJR)—
The house sent a $722,001,084 ag-
riculture department bill for 1941
to the senate today where a battle
royal is expected between the
farm block and economy advocates
over the $67,000,000 house' re-
duction in President Roosevelt’s
farm budget.
The house stayed in session un-
til" 11:05 p.m., last night and
finally defied the president by
passing the bill on a voice vote
after cutting $66,928,434 from the
amount recommended by him as
a “bed rock budget.”
Defy President
Mr. Roosevelt made a last
minute attempt to persuade the
house to restore the cuts. From
his Hyde Park, N. Y-, home,
where he is spending the weekend,
he refused to accept the respon-
sibility for the damage to agri-
cultural economy#4he, farm fund
was cut under his recommenda-
tions.
The president’s budget proposed
farm appropriations for 1941 Of
$788,929,519, almost half of the
$1,301,340,315 appropriation for
the current year. But that was
slashed in committee to $634,000,-
000. A week of battling on the
house floor by the farm bloc
restored $87,626,828.
„ Senate Seeks Increase k
The house reduction made the
total savings by the economy bloc
for the first five bills of this
session $181,000,000—more than
one-third of the 460,0^)0,000 Mr.
Roosevelt said would be neces-
sary in new taxes, if his budget

NewTurkish-British
PactToHitGermany
LONDON, Feb. 3. OK—Viscount Halifax’ British foreign secre-
tary, and Tewfik Rushdi Arax, Turkish ambassador, signed a commer-
cial agreement today which was expected to result in further losses
of German markets in Turkey, Turkish sources said.
.. It was understood that the agreement envisaged a sub-
stantial increase in British - Turkish trade on the basis of
recent British credits to Turkey.
BRITAIN MAY SEND
fTROOPS TO TURKEY
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Feb. 3.
—Unconfirmed reports were circu-
lated today that Cheat Britain
might send troops to the Turkish
Dardanelles to tighten up its
blockade and aid Turkey in pro-
tecting the vital strait.
No substantiation could be found
in official quarters for the report*,
but they intensified an atmosphere
of nervousness at the little entente
conference. .
. * It was suggested that any Allied
and Turkish troop activity in the
Dardanelles region might cause
some Balkan nations to increase
their armies—and thus cut down
to an appreciable extent the ex-
port of food stuffs and perhaps
other goods from southeastern
Europe to Germany.
Rumania was the diplomatic
center .of the conference. *
Pessimism was general as to
possible positive results from the
little entente conference.

ARGUMENT BEGINS
IN CASE TO OUST
DR. ff.J. JOHNSON
Issue Is Narrowed To
Question Of Board
Authority
AUSTIN, Feb. 3. Argu-
ments were begun before. District
Judge J. D. Moore here today on
the power of the state board to
control to remove Dr. W. J; John-
son as superintendent of the San
Antonio state hospital for insane
patients. ,
Attorneys agreed that the sole
question to be presented to the
court today was the authority of
the board to remove a hospital
superintendent after due notiee,
hearing and for established cause.
Hearing Recessed 0
If the board has such power,
former Governor Dan Moody, ap-
pearing for ©r. Johnson, said he
conceded Dr. Johnson is not entitled
to an injunction,, If the board
lacks ,that power, Moody said
Johnson is entitled to continuance
of'They^present order “restraining
the board.
The hearing which was started
by the board- on the assumption
that it has the power. of removal

Some of the crowd that had
gathered in the district court room ,
today left when it became appar-
ent that only law points were to
be before the court and there
would be no resumption of racy
testimony such as that which
marked sessions of the board of
control hearing, held this week
and last week. \
Petition Read
Proceedings began with the
reading* of an 18-page petition
upon which a temporary restrain-
ing order was issued by Judge
Moore last week. - ^

3 (U.PI—Russian troops have been

It was uncertain, dispatches in-
dicated, whether the Russians
would renew the attack despite
their losses and the apparently
complete failure of their “secret”
weapons.

Dispatches said Russian para-
chute troops, dropped In great
numbers from fleets of bombing
airplanes, were divided into units
of eight men each, under officers
who wore Finnish uniforms! All
the parachute troops wOre snow
capes of Finnish type and carried
skis, reports said, in an apparent
effort to infiltrate into the Finn-
ish positions, Finns claimed all
these men had been either killed
or,captured.
It was estimated that the Rus-
sians lost at least 1,000 men in
fighting yesterday.
200 Planes In Fight
The number ot planes used in
the Russian operation was esti-
mated at 200.

that in the latest phase of their
attack, the Russians had changed
