I IP"
By PAUL MALLON
- WASHINGTON, D. O., June 15.
There was more fancy soft-shoe foot
work backstage on the housing bill
than on any other legislation this ses
sion. Not even
the stock market
bill stirred up so
much phenog
llng. It all cen
tered around the
stalwart flguro
of stonewall
Steagall.
Mr. SteagaU !
supposed to be
the democratic
chairman of the
house banking
committee. There
Is no question
Paul MaUon
about his being chairman, but there
la some argument about his being
democratic, as far aa this administra
tion Is concerned.
This leader of financial legislation
In the house earned his stonewall title
the same way Johnson did. While all
the reat have been fleeing before .the
advance of the administration, Mr.
Steagall has stood there like a stone
vail, Impenetrable.
At least that la what he did for
some weeks after President Roose
velt sent the housing bill to congress.
The White House prodders got busy
on the Inside and prodded Mr. Stea
gall Into promising to report the bill
At the appointed time Mr. Steagall
did. But, lo and behold, the bill Mr.
Steegall reported happened to be an
entirely different bill.
Mr. Roosevelt's prodders were
angry that one' of them (an official
' In Prank Walker's division) called
news men of Washington Into a press
conference.
This official spoke very disparag
ingly of M. Steagall's committtee. He
charged that it had sold out to the
building and loan associations, that it
had betrayed the administration, etc.,
etc., etc. . .
Someone present suggested that
such remarks-were very libelous, ira
lesa proved, and would cause an up
roar. The official thereupon wisely
decided to make his remarks "off-the-record."
meaning confidential.
That kept them from getting into
the newspapers, but they reached tho
ears of the banking committee mem
bers and the building and loan league.
Aa a result, everyone lost his temper:
that Is. everyone except Mr. Steagall.
He still was giving a good Imitation
of a stone wall.
The votes taken In Mr. Steagall's
committee were not made public. If
they had been, they would have prov
ed Mr. Steagall's rigidity.
Inevery vote taken Mr. Steagall
believe it or not stood by the White
House. He voted against changes
which would give a half billion dol
lara In loana to building and loan as
sociations. He voted for the adminis
tration bill. Only two or three mem
bers of his committee did likewise.
Mr. Roosevelt's prodders know that,
but they refuse to give Mr. Steagall
full credit. They noted that hla pils
on the committee were all. on the
other side, particularly his bosom
companion and alter ego, Mr. OoMs
borouglv, a democrat from Maryland.
Also, thoy complain that Mr. Stea
gall haa never before been over
thrown by hla committee, at least
never by such an overwhelming mar
gin as 10 to 3 and U to 4. which were
the antl-admlnlatratlon margins on
the committee rollcalls.'
Furthermore, no 111 feeling seems to
exist between Mr. Steagall and his
own committee members, who went
against him and the administration.
The upshot of the thing la that the
administration had to exert extreme
inside pressure to get Its bill out of
the discard. It la supposed to have
everything fixed now so that It will
get exactly what It wants, finally,
after both senate and house have
passed the bill, and It goes Into tho
hands of a conference committee.
Mr. Steagall'a friends are very
proud of him They ay the adminis
tration Is displeased only because he
has the courage of his convictions,
which have not happened to coincide
with Mr. Roosevelt's convictions on
Inflation, and guaranteeing bank de
posits. Thev excuse his faithfulness
to the administration on the houslrw
bill on the ground that he was not in
terested In the subject much, one wiy
or another. Also, they expect him to
get some patronage.
To them, Mr. Steagall Is Just a big
mUiinderatood man who does n-s
care aa long as he can contlnuo to
have hla way generally on me ao
wu in which he la interested.
At any rate, all will concede tht
his unfathomable activities have
made him the most colorful figure In
a Hrah house.
The charge that the building and
loan league wrote the substitute
housing bill, reported to the house.
has been forcefullv denied. No one
-,n n.nt that the substitute was
thoroughly acceptable to them, whll
ih. .dminutratlon bill would ruin
the profitable second mortgage bus!

With magnificent gestures, abso
lute disdain for anything his giant
foe could do and a sporadic but vl-

huge but helpless Primo Camera in
the eleventh round of a 15-round
match before a roaring crowd of 52,-
000 in Madison Square Garden's Long
Island bowl, thereby ending the Ital
ian's one-year rule at the top of the
heap abruptly and bringing the crown
back to the United States.
Down KIcvcn Times
Camera waa knocked down no less
than eleven times from the force of
Baer's smashing blows before Referee
Arthur Donovan stopped the one
sided affair, with only 44 seconds to
go in the eleventh round, and award
ed the verdict to the broad-shouldered,
25-year-old American on a
technical knockout.
The giant 263-pound Italian was
still on his feet at the finish, after
bravely trying to continue against
odds that he knew were overwhelm
ing against him, but he was a bloody,
reeling wreck of a fighting man and
he was muttering "Finl finl I" In
utter helplessness when the referee
decided finally to halt the slaughter.
Camera was knocked down three
times within the first minute of
fighting as Baer loosed a succession
of long, dynamite-laden right hands
to the head, followed by bruising
lefts to the body. The Italian was
down three times again In the sec
ond round, with Baer rolling on top
of him as they waged the wildest
kind of a mclec. For the seventh
time in three rounds, the giant Ital
ian was flopped to his haunches In
the third, still too bewildered to take
anything like a count and recover
his wits. He rallied bravely for the
next few rounds but in the eighth
he sprawled full-length to the floor
from the force of an Ineffectual
lunge.

A constant educational campaign
for the cleansing of streams was ur

stream pollution are effective became
public sentiment is too loosely knit
to demand such enforcement.
A novel method of preventing the
loss of fish In Irrigation districts was
recommended by Roland G. Parvin,

Blight conditions In the orchards

Reports that "black blight" waa
prevalent here were denied, by both
authorities who said they had "never
heard of it before."
Dr. Aldrlch stated that blight con
ditions were rapidly being checked,
and due to lack of orchard care was
slightly more extensive than in pre
vious years. Dr. Aldrlch said that the
warm weather had aided In the con
trol, and that the final clean-up now
underway would see Its finish,
Norrls said also that the blight
would have no material effect on the
crop, which he estimated at "3000
cars, a slight Increase over last year
Norrls further declared that tho
commercial orchards in the central
and southern districts of the Rogue
river valley, had little blight trouble
due to scientific care, but orchards
in the northern portion had suffered
The blight was moat severe, Norrls
said, In "orchards that have been neg
lected the past three years."
Dr. Aldrlch and Norrls stated they
had no first hand knowledge of blight
conditions in Josephine county or
chards near Grants Pass.
C. C. Lemmon of Sgobel At Day,
shippers also stated there had been
no commercial damage from blight,
and estimated the crop would be

As an example, the Ford Motor
company claims to be adhering to
all NRA provisions, although It has
not signed a- code. NRA officials

of neither studio, howover, would be

with him.

The film people didn't take at all
kindly to his kidding. He would

torted Baer with the smile. "He's
Just a swimmer." Fortunately, John
ny Welssmuller wasn't there.
Joan Harlow, with a touch of Irri
tation, refused to comment on the
fight, although she earlier had ex

The Irritation waa due to the fact
that Baer's name had been coupled
romantically with hers; some said
the report waa started by Baer him
self, although he waa married to
Dorothy Dunbar,
Jcnn was married a short time
Inter, and the name "Bnor" has since

WILL
ROGERS
HOLLYWOOD. Calif.. June
14. Debt thing bobbed up
again today. Tho news never
gets so dull that somebody
can't bob up with a new pro
posal. Wc can always revive
talk of it and interest in it,
but we just ean't seem to re
vive payment of it, In fact, a
great many of tho ideas we
have loaned 'em they haven't
even paid back.
Well, it's good to get it all
stirred up before the new con
gressional elections. Tho fol
lowing sounds awful good on
the platform i "Did the man
you last sent to Washington
make Europe pay J No I Well,
elect mo and I will mako them
pny."
So it will always be a gooa
argument.'
Yours,
