WASKINOTON, Dec. 14. One thing
congressmen are getting ready to beat
their deska about la the NBA.
Home town business men and In
dustrialists have been priming their
aenaiora and representatives with
complaints. Legislation to revise the
basic law will be ottered and may
' pass. Any Important changes wiU
ba vetoed by Mr. Roosevelt and can
not pass over a veto.
Nevertheless It appeara that the
president will have to toss a bone
to the congressional growlers. It may

Guesses.
There has been a renewal of Inside
talk lately about getting some one of
Judicial temperament In Johnson's
place.
Certain of the presidents frlenda
would like to-see Johnson In charge
of public works. Hla Inspiration and
promoting abilities are needed there.
That change also would give Mr.
Tckes a chance to be "secretary of In
terior. The beet guess now la that the
NBA will plug along on a middle-of-the-road
policy for the present. The
trend will be toward conservatism
rather than more radical measures.
The old Idea of turning It Into a
scheme for socialization of Industry

Bitterness. '
m. . nnwi industry has
been moaning and groaning around
the highest placea here about what
the government is aoing iu
The proposed code contains aome
provisions which are said to be un
necessarily bitter. Mr. Roosevelt la
supposed to have been Induced to
soften It somewhat before proclalm-
i mg It.
More alarming to the power boys
la the fact that the government pro

That was the drop of gall which

It seems that the salad dressing

The mayonnaise people asked about
It and Peek's crowd could not even

The complaints reached high quar

The driver of the bus. D. R. Nlles,
waa among the seriously injured.
All available ambulances from Pa
latka, Deland and Crescent City rush
ed to the scene, loaded quickly with

vate life of Dr. Leonard Slever, slain
Pasadena dentist, In search ot the
key to his death.
Dr. Slever, art patron and aociaiite.
waa the friend of many women, police
said they learned, and the opinion
waa expressed by them that the den
tist hsd been shot from ambush by
a woman whose Jealousy flamed into
a passion for revenge.
This theory found some support to
day after surgeons reported that one
of two death bullets had been fired
by some one evidently smaller than
the slain man and had ranged up
ward after striking the dentist's head.
Dr. Slever'a body was found early
yesterday morning near the Scottish

Speaker Ralney, at a press confer

"One of the problems," Potter
said, "was to form an organization
that was small enough to be close
to the farmers and growers and at
the same time large enough to at
tract capital."
To Tide Over Depression
Potter said: "The Idea of the gov

Pacific oonst, Harry Carr, mak
ing g world tour and seeing all
oC the governments in action,
snys England is over the hump
first and going great.
Now that's tho country that
was held up to us as a horrible
example because they were
giving aid to unemployed. We
adopted it two years later than
we should.
England lowered the price of
their money just about to what
ours is and it must have helped
them. Pretty smart "hombres,"
thoso Englishmen,
KM
