Possible means for circumventing | state Social Security act regulations I as they apply to campus organiza-I tions were being sought today fol-lowing a meeting of fraternity j house presidents, managers, and j alumni advisors in 418 Student Union last night.

Senate Votes Trade Treaty Act Extension
Foreign Commerce Policy Of New Deal Approved By Upper House
Measure Goes to President
Roosevelt's Power Upheld As Amendment Series Meets Rejection
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. — (UP)—The senate late today voted to extend the life of i,he reciprocal trade treaty act until 1940 after defeating overwhelmingly a series of amendments designed to curb President Roosevelt’s power under j the measure.
The measure, already approved ' by the house, now goes to thc I White House for Mr. Roosevelt’s signature. The act—coiner stone '
| of the administration's foreign (
| commerce policy—was due to ex-j pire June 12.
I The biggest threat to the measure I came shortly before its passage when four senators from Florida i and Louisiana jammed a "less-i than-production" cost amendment ! through the chamber by a vote of I 43 to 36. The amendment would j have prevented the president from fixing thc tariff of any agricultural product so low that the foreign cost of production plus the duty would equal or fall below the cost of producing a similar product in the United States.
Reconsideration Forced
Amazed by the suprlse defeat. Chairman Pat Harrison. Democrat, Mississippi, of the finance committee in charge of the bill, warned that the amendment would "practically kill” the trade program. He changed his vote from “nay” to "aye" ln order to force a reconsideration of the vote.
Administration leaders scurried through corridors, cloak rooms and sent pages to offices with others to bring Democrats into the chamber. On reconsideration, the amendment offered by Sen. Claude Pepper, Democrat, Flordia, was rejected, 42 to 39.
Republicans Fight Measure
Four Republican senators—William E. Borah, Idaho; Frederick J Steiwer, Oregon; Vandenberg. Mich- | igan; and Arthur Capper. Kansas. —led the attack on the trade pro- j gram today.
Borah fought vigorously for an ■ amendment by Capper which would have restored to the senate the power to pass on treaties negotiated. He Insisted that the unrestricted authority granted the chief executive in the original trade act was an unlawful delegation of legislation power

Pay-for-Picture Policy Produces Plenty
MARTINEZ. Cal., Feb. 35—U'.Rl —Unbudglng in his policy of collecting a fee every time he faces a tamcra, Peter Volss. picturesque prospector, collected $1 from newspaper photographeis today before he posed for them at the trial In which he is seeking to collect *7.000 for automobile accident injuries.
Thc bearded wanderer's insistence that he be paid for pictures led him in another courtroom ln San Jose last summer on murder charges. Accused of slaying an amateur photographer who snapped his picture and refused to pay, he pleaded that he made his living from such fees and won acquittal.
Today he was the plaintiff in a suit arising Irom an automobile accident last August, when a truck driven by John Johnson struck the prospector's two-wheeled canvas-topped cart and knocked him and several of his burros down.
