should be sure to purchase their
ticekts as soon today as possible.

for the arrangements.

favors committee, made it known
that a combined program and favor  wUl  be  sjiven  to  every  couple

shortest, in our opinion," the pair
said.

Dollar Will Not
Be Devaluated
Commodity    Prices     Must
Be   Stabilized   Says
Nation's Head
WASHINGTON, March 6—(U.P>—
The dollar has not yet reached a
level sufficient to relieve ths country's debt burden. President Roosevelt said today. He denied he contemplates further devaluation.
Asked at his press conference
whether commodity prices had been
stabilized, Mr. Roosevelt said he
felt the dollar still was out of line
with the country's debt structure,
although great progress had been
made in readjustment.
President Laughs
This led to a question as to
whether further devaluation was in
prospect. The president held up
his hands, laughed, and shook his
head.
The denial was mode more emphatic after the conference when
the white house announced that
any intimations of further devaluation were wholly without foundation. The announcement followed apparent misinterpretation
of his press conference remarks in
some quarters.

The price raising campaign has

If the Kingfish was chastened by
the smarting attack upon him yesterday by majority leader Joseph
T. Robinson in which he was called
a "madman," he did not show it
as he strode briskly to the senate
floor.
At first he sought vainly for recognition. When he obtained it, he
first presented his letter to the committee outlining the Parley charges.
Then he submitted newspaper clippings showing that Arkansas. Robinson's state, had been denied federal relief because of the failure
of the state legislature to appropriate funds to care for part of the
state's indigent.
As a final thrust and with an
appreciative look at the packed gal-
ing the tax off the poor an dim
posing  it upon the wealthy.
As the chair rapped the galleries
to order, Robinson returned and immediately challenged the propriety
of Long's action in inserting into
the congressional record the names
of his firm's law clients.
Robinson explained he had taken
part in few cases of litigation for
the past 10 years and added he was
wholly unwilling to permit the Louisiana Kingfish to act as his judge.
Replying to threats voiced yesterday by Long that he would go into Arkansas end attempt to defeat
Robinson in 1936, the senate leader
snapped:
"If I had to continue to look at
the senator every day. if I had to
hear him speak two or three times
a day as I have every day for the
past two or three months, it
would be a godsend to me if in
some way I could get out
