Auc 30 UP) Administration forces Monday beat an effort In the Senate to direct that President Truman save 5 to 10 percent of the billions of dollars congress has appro priated to run the government. The Senate voted 8 to 29 to suspend its rules and adopt a "rider" to the armed services appropriation bill to order Mr. Truman to make the savings. That was short of the two thirds vote required to suspend the rules. Vice-President Barkley ruled that i two-thirds vote was neces sary although the Senate parlia mentarian had held that the issue could be settled by a simple ma jority vote. The Senate upheld Barkley's ruling by a 1 to 36 vote. The voting capped a spirited STORAGE No mora room in th aaraget Store it for a few dollars.

Democratic leader Lucas of Il linois, fighting the proposal, shouted that it was "politically unfair" to ask the president to do things that congress lacked cour age to do. Lucas argued, too. that it was unconstitutional that it gave the president authority to reverse he decisions of congress. The economy directive to the president was backed by a coali tion of republicans and demo crats, including many southern members of the president's own party. Senator McClellan ID Ark) led the fight for it. The "rider" would have meant telling Mr. Truman to save $2, 000,000.000 to $4,000,000,000. Bill Finally Passes Once the battle over the rider was ended, the Senate quickly passed the $14,800,000,000 bill. First it knocked down an at tempt to forbid the armed serv ices from using any of the money for purchase of oleomargarine or butter substitutes. For many years the military bills contained a so-called "but ter rider" but the House and Sen ate appropriations committee eliminated it this year. Senator Wiley (R-Wis) and a group of senators from butter producing states sought to insert the oleo prohibition but the Sen ate rejected it by a 5-31 vote. The Senate also rejected, 49 to 25, a motion by Senator Douglas (D-Ill) to recommit the bill to committee for cuts. The bill now goes to the House which' must pass on changes the Senate made in the $15,900,000, 000 bill passed by the House.

Sugar Ray Seeks Second Title Before Retiring DETROIT, Aug. 30 W Sug ar Ray Robinson plans to wind up his fighting career In 1950, but he'd like a crack at the middle weight title before he bows out of the ring picture. The flashy, welterweight cham pion figures 10 years of profes sional fighting "is a long stretch and the ring is rough on you." Robinson told reporters yester day he expects to "fight through 1950 and then quit." "I'll be almost 30 years old then, and it's time for me to get out." But first, he's hoping hard that he'll get the opportuni.y to re linquish his welterweight crown and go after the championship currently held by middleweight Jake LaMotta.

Pit j-l fl I Army Engineers No.l Target Of Lobby Probe Plan WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-UP) Rep. Sabath (D-IU) nominated the army engineers Monday as the "number one target" of a prospective congressional inves tigation of lobbying. The chairman of the House Rule committee, predicted the House will start an inquiry soon after it gets back from vacation, even If the Senate fails to string along. Sabath told reporters lobbying is at an all time high, both in the number of people doing it and amount of money they are laying out for it. "I've checked up." he said, "and more than 1.D00 lobbyists are registered. There are many more who have failed to regis ter." In the first quarter of 1949, he said, the lobbyists reported spending more than $2,000,000 which is $200,000 more than the previous high, set in the last three months of 1948. "They are actually the indi rect representatives of power in terests. They overrode President Roosevelt when he tried to reor ganize the government Now when the Hoover Commission recommends reorganization, they are the first to oppose it." Members of Congress listen to the engineers, Sabath said, "be cause they can approve or dis approve some little project on a creek I can spit across." The House has adopted a reso lution to create a special com mittee of seven members for a lobbying probe. But Speaker Ray burn (D-Tex) has not yet named the members. Sabath said there is a possibil ity the Senate may vote for a Senate-House lobby Investigation. He said Rayburn wants to wait and see if it does. S J'H'" 1 1 !

Pro. 7 Good Conservation Calls For Building Resistance To Erosion Conservation isn't limited to keeping soil from blowing and washing away. According to J. F. Bonebrake, Douglas county Agricultural Conservation com mittee chairman, a good shaie of the conservation Job is build ing up resistance to erosion and keeping land in good condition to grow future crops. . These conditions have to do with the amount of moisture in the soil, the supply of plant food available to growing crops and the structure of the soil. Conservation of water both on irrigated land, and unlrrlgated land, is a part of the agricultural conservation program, the chair man explains. This means, among other things, providing conditions which increase the ability of the land to soak up water when it falls or is applied by irrigation. Adding humus to the soil is one method of increas ing the water-holding capacity of the soil. Structures such as ter races and contour furrows which slow down the run-off are me chanical means of keeping water on. the farm. To control erosion and to build Into the soil resistance to blow ing and washing, crops with a heavy ground cover and good root systems are needed.

Lime and phosphate are applied to increase the growth of thess soil and water conserving crops. Through crop residue manage ment and the use of cover crops and grass and legumes in rota tion, the humus needed to main tain the right soil structure for growing plants la kept in balance. The chairman points out that conservation practices of this kind are aimed at preventing ero sion and depletion and such pre vention is even more important than the construction of dam and terraces which are often put In to correct damage already done. The aim of all such Agri cultural Conservation Program practices, the chairman points out, is to provide the best grow ing conditions for plants which produce food and fiber for the usa of people. f Mutest , HEATING OILS Diesel and Stove Oib Quality Oils For Every Purpose PROMPT METERED DELIVERIES E.
