Washington. .Inn. 5.— President Coolidge'.Q veto of the postal pay in create bill will be sustained In the senate tomorrow if ^administration leaders can hold the strength they were able to develop tonight on the first test vote. They are confident they can do so. The test came on a motion by chairman Sterling of the postoffice c ommittee to recommit the pay meas ure which received executive disap proval last June. That motion was voted down, 30 lo 52, but the 30 votes cast for recommittal ate two more than the one-third necessary lo pre vent the measure becoming a law without presidential sanction.

Jan. *>-^A pink lounging garment, around which con siderable early testimony in the di vorce suit of Representative Frank I). Scott has revolved, was brought run court here today and donned by Mrs. Kdna James Scott in an effort «» refute the story connected with the garment. Before a courtroom crowded with Congressman Scent's constituents and others. Mrs. Scott i»lit on the garment to demonstrate that a i igaret help burned In ii was below i he w aist and could not have been caused, as previously testified, while an army office^ embraced her. \fter the ‘igaret hole had been lo cated. counsel for Representative Scott In for tried the court that he and his client did not believe the garment was the same which figured In the alleged episode. If was admitted aa hi exhibit despite this contention. " \ll Malicious IJes." Mrs. Scott, making her second ap pearance on the stand today, gave further denial to the testimony of Miss Jane Kennedy, secretary to Rep resentative Scott. Miss Kennedy in her testimony declared Mrs. Scott had confided to her that she had re ceived visits late at night in her apartments from army officers and the clerk of a Washington hotel where the Scotti resided Mrs. Scott denied that she had a conversational code whereby she communicated with the hotel clerk. She characterized as a malicious lie" Miss Kennedy's testimony that the clerk had helped her dress for dinner. I told Miss Kennedv h* came to my apartment on a Sunday noon and I gave him some magazines, hut I never said he helped me In dressing Those are malicious lies," Mrs. R«ott testified. She also den ed that the • lerk had selected a gown for her while she was dressing in her apart ment. *'T haven't so many gowns | that somebodv has to choose one for i me." she said. ^at on Hof \«Jtcs. •Describing the incident Involving i he burning of the lounging garment, Mrs. Scott said the armv officer, known as Jazzbo" came to her apartment at 9:30 one evening and asked for a drink T gave him one and then sat down, he with a cigaret in one hand and his glass in the other, she saici. "He dropped some cigaret ashes and asked me to jump up. hut 1 did not know then that the kimona had hee*n burned " Mrs Scoff reiterated her charges of gambling by her husband On the occasion of the trip to Panama with other congressmen and their wives in 1921!. she said, her husband played cards continuously and that his friend* told her he had Iqft "He gave me $100 and told me he had won." she saici. Later he took it away from me and lost jt." Threatened With film. Describing a trip to the home of Allan Moore, former congt essnutn from Illinois, during which Repre sentative .Scott accused her of being cool toward their host Mrs Scott said I objected to staying because I did not have enough clothes.

By ('. II. Bl.AKEI.Y, Fitrm Filitur Tin* Omaha lice. Lincoln I n. "Organized agriculture. What fit* you mean, organized agriculture? Why, there Isn't any such animal." say the Incredulous. But don't l»e fooled. Organized agriculture Is a going concern here at Lincoln. I h id been forew irned that Lincoln would he the center of some big finings in ag» iculture fop the week, so 1 gassed up "the old boat" and pro ceeded to p -t out here and lay a preliminary foundation to see the thins pulled off. The agricultural editor had not. been off the pavement since ih" now began to fiv so the first thing noted upon the way flown was the roads. The "raveled roads are good, theidpr if th.it is not a nrettv good way pavement is always good. But right here let * get off nf organized agri culture long enough to talk about n»ads for n moment The fellow who w rote In to The Omaha Bee criticizing its full page advertisement, “Pull 'Ne braska out of the mud," should have been along this morning. Not mud. but ruts and whoever saw ruts un 1* ss mud had been there before the ruts. The cold wave hay left the* roads “plenty bad’* as the slang phrase goes. In fact it has produced .» permanent wave in the dirt roads. Arrived at the rani puff of the I’nl versitv of Nebraska. I looked around for something which would give * starting point for the coming con flail of organized agriculture And found the shock troops of.agriculture, the county agricultural agents of Ne braska. already holding session*. At this session, which is held each year, they just talk things over, [plans out campaigns for bigger and better Agriculture. It i.-- the meeting where personality is lost Where the big things of agriculture for Ne braska aie talked. It is but the fore runner of the public sessions wh ch will be held this week. Today th«» campus is outw irdlv [calm, but inside the many depart mental building* there Is h< c»n Kverv department of the agricultural college i« getting ready'for tomorrow I fell in with Prof Howard Oram llch and gave the college the once over. This will indeed be a week f < organized agrh uIture. a week where much rail be accomplished If prep rations have anything to do with its success. I'pon the wav front Omaha to TJn coin 1 noticed many fields where the ho*2s were doing the harvesting. W >n m pick coin. Mnny fanners believe it is nisi as economical as hiring men to do the harvesting, then hiring them to carry it back* to the feed yards. At any rate it is more profit able than letting the corn stand in the field all winter. Of course. I know winter set In early this fall, but then I also know » great many farmers wh > started i licit spring work early last spring, and most of those fellows have their cnrn picked, too. The writer doesn’t want to ever preach or be guilty of telling farmers how to run their busi ne>- but. how it hurts to see $1.50 cnrn lying out there under the snow. It represents real loss ti someone. Perhaps many who failed to get their corn picked at corn picking time had a good alibi, but mostly it is a case of planting corn when it should have been cultivated and cultivating it when hay should have been put up and pi* king it when the owner should l.c going down to Lincoln to attend .a ganized agriculture." The writer cann >t help but wonder if t lie speakers here will tell the farm cis that the best organization In the world is doing things when It is sea sonable t«» do them. I have picked corn in April after it had lain under three months of winter snow So when I left the city and meandered a< toss Nebraska's fertile fields, just snooping around for something to write about, whv naturally I felt in dignant t ward the fellow who would let his corn lie out in the snow. Of course "hen I was farming, why. I was ho busy I didn’t hfcve the hay half up when corn pp king time came. I kn<>" it s easy to tell the other fe| p»\« how to do it. but honestly I iust can’t ger over seeing that good corn l>lng out there in the snow.
