WASHINGTON, April 30 (UP)
Initial hopes of a compromise to
insure speedy passage of NRA ex-
tension legislation appeared head-
ed for failure today when a White
House conference of senators broke
up without reaching agreement.
Both Democratic and Republican
senators attended the meeting at
which President Roosevelt called in
Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins and NRA Chairman Donald
R. Richberg.
Faced with possibility of a bit-
ter fight over the extension ques-
tion, it was suggested that Con-
gress extend present act to March
1 of next year instead of to June
16, 1937, as proposed in the tenta-
tive bill in Senate committee.
However, chairman Pat Harrison
of the Senate Finance Committee
said that the conferees were unable
to agree upon this plan.

Member* of the Hoard of di-

have one perfectly good ham-

sale and will entertain offers to
buy the structure. The building
is the one erected at the comer
of the public square recently

was used as registration head-
quarters for the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce at its an-
nual session held here a week

Since the purpose for which it
was constructed has been served
the building is useless to the or-
ganization and if properly urged
they admit they could be Induc-
ed to part with It. If no pur-
chasers appear to take advant-
age of the bargain they are of-
fering. they plan to move the
building to the fairgrounds
where it will be used during the
