Congress Wasted
Time, Solon Avers
Washington, Oct. 12 Wi The
present congress has wasted
more time than it has used. Rep.
Stockman (R-Ore.) said today.
In reviewing its work, he said:
"Congress coul dwell have fin
ished its work and adjourned
three months ago. I am told that
never in the experience of old
time members has a session
dragged along so slowly, accom
plishing so little.
"The appropriation bills fur
nishing the money to operate the
government for the year ending
next June 30 have just been
passed. They should have been
law before the current fiscal
year started July 1."
Stockman told reporters he
hoped that the congress will end
Saturday for the voters of the
nation "are fed up with it stay
ing in session."

Andrew May Has
Faint Hopes
Washington, Oct. 12 U.R)
Former Rep. Andrew J. May, D
Ky., a key legislator during
World war II. clung today to the
faint hope that the supreme
court might still save him from
a prison cell.
Warren E. Magee, attorney
for the 74-year-old wartime
chairman of the house military
affairs committee, said he in
tends to ask the court to recon
sider its decision which, in ef
fect, upheld the 1947 bribery
convictions of May and the
Garsson brothers, Murray M
and Henry W.
The high court announced its
ruling yesterday. Ordinarily it
would take about 10 days for it
to notify the local district court
of its action the move that
would lead to the trio's almost
immediate commitment.
But if the supreme court
agrees to hold up this notifies
tion so that May can file a pe
tition of reconsideration, he will
be assured of perhaps another
month of freedom.
If May goes to prison, the
chances are that his age and
failing health would entitle him
to special consideration.

don radio program was made in
this country in 1925.

Disabled Freighter
Awaits Salvage Ship
Seattle, Oct. 12 Wl The
plight of the propellerless
freighter Navigator settled down
today to a probable five-day
wait for arrival of the Victoria
based tug Salvage King.
The five days was the length
of time the tug's master, Capt.
Thomas, estimated it would take
to reach the Navigator's posi
tion some 900 miles west of the
Washington coast.
The Coast Guard cutter Chau
tauqua continued to stand by the
stricken ship pending arrival of
the tug. An offer to take the
Navigator in tow was rejected

peller in rough seas early Mon
day morning while en route to
Vancouver, B.C., from the Ori
