The senate bill already had been approved once by the chamber, but the house refused to consider it on the ground that It was revenue rais ing legislation and, as such, could originate only In the house. Its rate section, it is estimated, will produce little more than $.10,00(1,000 additional revenue, while that of the house bill i- said to carry about twice the amount to meet salary Increases ag . esating more than $60,000,000 a year.

Senator Borah made it plain he had reached almost the limit of patience with the delay and was determined to force action, hut restrained by assur ances that the leaders were rushing, the matter. Senator Curtis stated the republican steering committee had stood ready from the first to take up any hill re ported from the argicultura! commit tee. He said he again would confer with committee leaders and urge them to get together on some measure. If this fails, he declared, he will ask the steering committee to agree on one of the hills on the calendar and call it up to be whipped in shape for passage. The MoNary-Haugen bill to set up an agricultural export corporation to buy surplus products and sell them abroad; the Norris Sinc lair bill, cre ating a government corporation to take over the general marketing of farm products, and the Curtis-Aswell bill, establishing a system of co-oper ative marketing controlled by the farmers themselves, are before the committee.

When Senator Kellog was nomi nated to he ambassador to England, senators from the northwestern states affiliated with the l.a.

Their objection was not pressed again since Kellogg's appointment was a personal one to the president's offi cial family. I naniinous Consent. Immediately after the senate went Into executive session, Chairman Borah changing his original inten tion, obtained unanimous consent for the consideration of Kellogg's nomina tion without its reference to commit tee. Senator Swanson, Virgina, the ranking democrat on the foreign rela tions committee, said the minority would offer no opposition to con firmation, ami a favorable vote fol lowed without a roll call. Senator Borah's request for imme diate consideration, it was explained, was in line with the long established precedent in the senate of acting on the nominations of former senators without reference to committee.

The simplest of formalities, in line with the plain, simple lives of the Collins family, will mark the funeral services.

The struggle to reach Floyd Collins after he had lain trapped by a houl der in a narrow underground passage leading from Sand cave for more than two weeks will go down In history as one of the epics of the Kentucky cave country. Collins wriggled his way Into the cave, on an exploring trip, sometime before noon on Friday, January 30. He discovered a marvelous subter ranean coliseum, 80 feet high. Hasten ing out to tell of his discovery, his foot dislodged a boulder which pin ned his left ankle against the wall of the tortuous passage way, and held him prisoner.
