WASHINGTON, D. C, June CO.
The nonsensical babble at the clos
ing of congress was worse this year
than usual.
House members had to read the
Congressional Record each day to
rind out what
they had done
the previous day.
Pew had any
Idea of what
was going on in
the rush and
noise.
At one time
the senate actu
ally thought it
had passed the
Frazler - Lempke
Inflation bill and
several newspa
pers so announc
0 llChUC J
Paul Mallon
ed. That measure was confused witn
the six-year farm mortgage morato
rrum. When the matter was finally
straightened out the official papers
on the right bill were lost for 48
hours.
Unquestionably there were many
mistakes which will not be discov
ered until lawyers have time to study
what was done.
The on who started everything off
on the wrong track Innocently waa
Senator Bulkley of Ohio. He wanted
to get some banking corrections en
acted and went about it backward
He tried to press them ahead of the
housing bill. Everyone now knows
that If he had proceeded first with
the bousing bill congress would have
adjourned Saturday night.
The situation got completely out
of control of Floor Leader Robinson,
but only temporarily. His troubles
were multiplied by the fact that one
of the boys started celebrating the
close of the session prematurely Sat
urday night In pre-prohtbltlon style
and advanced some novel Ideas on
legislative procedure.
The general back-stage Impression
Is that congress did a fairly good Job
this session. In general, It was un
der the thumb of President . Roose
velt. The president adopted a pose
for political purposes that he was
not trying to dominate legislation,
but he did. In fact, he got nearly
everything he wanted and nothing of
importance, except the veterans' pay
restoration, was forced on him
against his will.
Many young men In both parties
were developed during the session.
House Republicans found they had
some new leadership talent In Rep
resentative Joseph Martin of Massa
chusetts and Englebrlght of Callfor
nla. They distinguished themselves
In the development of Republican
tactics.
In the senate. Republican Senator
Nye merited attention with his NRA
fight and the munitions Inquiry.
The Democrats developed most of
the new national figures because they
were In control. Senators Wagner and
Byrnes enhanced their reputations
strongly, as did Representatives Ray
burn and Jones.
There was plenty of unpublished
commotion on the Republican side of
the house when Floor Leader Snell
went off to his college class reunion
on what waa supposed to be the last
day of the session.
Most of the important business had
been cleaned up previously, but a
couple of Republicans dropped cut
ting remarks about Snell'a absence.
In fact, they suggested that a new
leader might be cnosen at tne nex
session.
Several Republicans have been dis
pleased because Snell has not shown
more antagonism to the Democratic
legislative program. There are not
enough of them to etart a grade A
rebellion.
Snell will undoubtedly be chosen
leader again next session.
The only way to make congress
really efficient would be for every
one else to go home and let Huey
Long be the congress.
He showed what he could do that
hectic Saturday night. To keep him
quiet the leaders had agreed to let
the mortgage moratorium bill go to
conference. Under ordinary clrcum
tancea It would take a week or ten
days to get uch a measure passed
by a conference committee and ready
fo; final enactment.
Huey has different Ideas about con
ferences. He gathered up the two
house conferees and his new pal. Re
publican Senator Robinson, but he
would not let them enter a room or
sit down. That would take too long.
He kept them standing outside a sen
ate door, saying in his emphatic man
ner: "Now here is what we will do."
It was all over in less than U'O min
utes, the fastest conference on record.
Later, the Louisiana senator made
a speech on the floor asserting that
someone on the house side had lost
the conference report and then the
clerks of the conference committee
disclosed that the papers had reposed
In Huey's pocket all the time.
There appears to he little In the
charge that Wall street was trying
to put something over In the Bulk
ley bank- amendments. One of the
amendments was proposed by Chair

PORTLAND. Ore., June 20. (AP)
One hundred and fifty uniformed

by & picket boat loaded with strikers,
but the police harbor patrol boat
cruised between the two and blocked
any Interference.
As the Lio tied up the crew of the
picket boat shouted curses at the
crew and then turned downstream.
The group of strikers and sympa
thizers stationed on the oil com
pany's grounds made no effort to
enter the dock pcoperty in the face of
the determined stand taken by the
company of uniformed police. Part
of the group consisted of curiosity
seekers. The pickets contented 'them
selves with stopping all oil company
trucks entering the grounds. They
offered no other Interference.

Saturday night with a couple of Jack

The belligerents disappeared after los
ing the fracas in which the law sus
tained wounds.
According to courthouse report
Deputy Leach and County Jailer Fred
Kelly were assigned by the district
attorney's office to go to Jacksonville
and investigate complaints of citizens
that a beer and gambling resort was
being operated. The investigators
found beer was being sold without a
state license, but found no evidence
of gambling. The proprietor was ad
vised to close up the place, which he
readily agreed to immediately do.
After the formal closing Leach was
talking to a woman, seated In an auto,
when a husky youth approached and
inquired :
"What are you doing here?"
The woman and the deputy sheriff
said it was a private conversation and
asked the intruder to "move on."
Deputy Leach resumed his conver
sation, and was suddenly attacked by
the gent. The deputy disposed of him
in short order, and he ran across the
street with Leach in pursuit. There
he came upon the campanlon of the
first combatant, who assumed war
like attitude and started swinging
with his fists. He was knocked down
with a right handed clout to the Jaw
and when he arose he started run
ning. Deputy Leach then discovered
he had hit so hard, he had fractured
his hand.
The authorities are looking for the
two fighters, described as young and
husky.
