WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. You can
save your eyes by not reading moat
of the statements given out by both
Ides In this re
lief bill fight.
Both the new
dealers and the
senate opposi
tionists are doing
considerable bluf
fing. There will
undoubtedly be
further hectic
backing and fill
ing before the
measure la fi
nally enacted,
but. In the end,
President Roose
PAUL MALLON
velt will get Just about any kind ol
ja bill he wants.
Administration leaders confess as
much privately. They concede that
their latest move in sending the bill
back to committee was designed
mainly to teach the senate a les
son. The strategy appears to have been
conceived In a moment of pique
after Mr. Roosevelt's temporary set
back on the relief wage plan. The
Idea was that the country would Im
mediately proceed to ridicule the
senate for playing politics.
It was a hazardous move, but the
congressional leaders are sure It will
work out all right.
There was no question among In
siders that politics was behind the
senate wage decision. Many of the
44 senators who opposed Mr. Roose
velt really voted from sincere con
viction. A fair backstage guess has
been made that possibly half of
them did. You can tell the ones
who did by looking Into their past
labor record.
The rest could be divided into two
classes: (1) Democrats who wanted
i to get In good with labor, and (3)
Republican old guardsmen who voted
against their real convictions just
to make trouble.
The vote of this latter class Is
causing scandalous cloakroom dis
cussion. Even the victors did not
like the help they got from this
source. They say It discredited their
sincere efforts to get changes in
the bill.
Half a doaen old guardsmen could
be named, who have always been
against boosting relief costs, against
union wage scales, against Inflation
and everything the amendment stood
for, yet they voted for it.
A Washington newsman was sit
ting In his semi-suburban home the
other night with his wife, when the
doorbell rang. It was about 10 p.m.
He went to the door, drew It open
cautiously and was confronted with
Huey Long, flanked by two threat
ening Individuals.
"Just dropped In for a little chat,"
said Huey. "Don't mind my boys
here. They Just look big because they
have a couple of sub-machine guna
long."
The machine gunners stood guard
while the chat proceeded. When It
was over they scouted around to
eee that the coast was clear, escorted
Huey to his car and drove off.
And this Is the year of our Lord.
1835. the year after a century ot
progress in-the!e United States wa;
celebrated rather expansively ai
capo.
Anyone who haa had any expert'
ence with legislatures, state or na
tional, will recogniT the symptoms
behind the current disorderly situa
tion In congress, not only on relief,
but on every other issue.
All legislatures develop sheep
hablts after they have been assem
bled in session for a couple of
months. They think In groups and
not individually. A group leader
takes slant on an Issue. His asso
ciates seize It and poll-parrot it
k around. After It has been repeated
often enough. It become a fact.
This is what makes the Jobs of lob
byist easy.
In fact, the whole city of Wash
ington normally displays the same
tendency toward developing deeply
grooved viewpoints.
Mr. Roosevelt was able to use this
historic habit for his own advan
tage during the initial two years,
but ndw thine to be get
ting back to normnt.
Patronace-hunsrry con (tress men are
behind the move for a congressional
Investigation of the home owners
loan corporation. It Is only a threat
to make the HOLC open up on Jobs.
If congress carries It much further,
you may see Chairman Fahey resign
He has intimated as much privately
to friends. Fahey Is dead set against
opening up the field atifnt Jobs to
the jpoilmen.

Coast Guardsmen Overturn
Boat in Trying to Save
Crew of Sinking Dredge
Two Bodies Recovered
NEWPORT, Ore., Feb. 26. (AP)
The death toll was tentatively place
at five today after a dredge and a
coast guard lifeboat tyd capsized at
the entrance to Newport harbor.
Two bodies had been recovered at
1:30 p. m., four hours after the trag
edy occurred. Three other bodies
wero being sought.
The bodies of George Meadows of
Florence and George Elkins of Leba
non, both coast guardsmen, were tak
en from the sea. Another coast
guardsman, William Schultr. of San
Francisco, and two unidentified mem
bers of the dredge crew were missing
and searchers held no hope they had
escaped death.
Two other members or the coast
guard, John Hart and Elrod Halsey,
were badly hurt in the accident and
were taken to a hospital.
The sea tragedy occurred when the
tug Melville, towing the dredge Melba
from Astoria, put into Newport har
bor as the dipper dredge began to
sink. As the tug reached the end
of the Jetty, the dredge rolled over
and sank. A coast guard lifeboat
sped to the rescue but struck a spar
on the dredge and stripped off Its
steering gear. A moment later the
lifeboat overturned.
The llTeboat carried a crew of five.
John Hart, badly Injured. war,
picked up from the rocks.
A second lifeboat hurried ou i
across the rough surf to search fo.
the missing coast guardsmen and for
the missing members of the dredge
crew. . A coast guard cutter was said
to be en routo from Astoria.
It was believed the second lifeboat
would remain outside the harbor un
til the heavy tide turned. There was
a rough sea.

NEWTON, Mass., Feb. 26. (AP)
Moses H. Guleslan, 71, former mil
lionaire Boston and Newton real es
tate dealer, missing since last Tues
day, returned safely to bis Newton
home today after being located last
night In the Bowery mission, New
York, where he was given his first
shelter upon his arrival in this coun
try as an immigrant 63 years ago.
Guleslan, whose son-in-law, James
L. Beck of Newton, said he was ob
viously' a victim of amnesia, "found
himself" after hearing a pianist at
the mission play a piece entitled
"Washington," composed by his wife.
Upon regaining his memory, Beck
said, Guleslan gave his name to offi
cials of the mission, who got In touch
with his wife. A description, fur
nished by her, definitely established
his identity, and he was placed
aboard a train, which arrived In Bos
ton at 6:50 a. m. His wife, Mra.
Grace W. Guleslan; his daughter, and
his son-in-law, accompanied by de
partment of Justice agents, met the
train.
Beck said his father-in-law was In
a weakened condition, had a heavy
growth of beard, and was not as tidy
in appearance as usual. A physician
was called to the Guleslan home to
make an examination, but Beck said
his condition apparently was not se

DE
ON RELIEF BILL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. (AP)
Senate Republican Independents aald
today they would move in a day or
two to force a relief bill out of the
appropriation committee if adminis
tration force showed no disposition
to act on the deadlocked $4,880,000.-
000 work program.
Chairman Glass, (D., .Va.) of the
committee, meanwhile, told interview
ers he was "ready to proceed at any
time," but suggested nothing would
be done at least until President
Roosevelt returned to the capital the
latter part of the week.
The 94.680,000.000 measure was sent
back to committee last week on mo
tion of Democratic leaders after Pres
ident Roosevelt informed them he
would veto the bill If it contained
the McCarran amendment requiring
payment on public works of prevail
ing private wages to 3.500,000 employ
able on relief rolls.
Aa the plan of the Independent
developed , Secretary Ickes predicted
the administration plan eventually
would be passed by congress without
the prevailing wage amendment. The
only reason given newsmen for th
forecast was that "there 1 a very
great demand for a public works re
lief bill."
Senator Borah, Idaho Remibllcan
Independent who told the senate yes
terday a bill should be reported out
Immediately to be voted up or down,
said today the Independent group
was getting behind a move to dis
charge the committee He did not
expect this to be brought Into the
open today, however, and tho senate
was not meeting again until Thurs

DAMAGED BY FIRE AS
STRONG GALE BLOWS
Fire, believed to have started when
a high wind blew spark from a chim
ney onto the shingle of the roof
of the frame building at the, corner
of King and Tenth street known as
the Burnham apartments, hortl7
after one o'clock today caused dam
age estimated to between $500 and
$700, some, of which was water dam
age. The fire broae out on the roof
and rapidly spread Into the attic,
where, due to the wooden celling of
the top apartments, tt was difficult

the already bad situation, and fire
men battled for almost an hour be
fore the blaze was finally brought
under control.
No furniture was burned, but much
of It was damaged by water, smoke,
and falling charred wood. Plaster
wall of the building also suffered
Hi effects. The building was covered
by Insurance, according to Fire Chief
Roy Elliott.
A small fire on the roof of the
house belonging to Mrs. L. Dougherty,
608 Dakota street, shortly after noon
today caused about $10 In damane,
when a defective flue set fire to the
