WASHINGTON, April 3. The way
legislation haft been bowing down out
of the akiea these daya is amazing.
Congressmen al
ready are discuss
ing the necessity
of operating with
their windows
shut.
For instance,
the relief confer
ees were meeting
aecretly as usual
in a capltol room
the other day.
Tney glanced at
their big relief
bill suddenly and
found that two pwi. MALLON
a ntl -ad ministration amendments had
not only blown In from nowhere, but
had actually glued themselves to the
bill.
One was a tricky amendment re
quiring the new dealers to spend
some of the work-relief money for
work-relief, and not for experiments
in building and baying public power
plants, subsistence homesteads, and
such things. The second one re
quired the senate to confirm Presi
dent Roosevelt's appointees to the
major relief jobs.
The new dealers (meaning mainly
Mr. Ickes) got excited when they
found congressmen trying to alter
their legislation that way, and Inves
tigated the mysterious source of the
two proposals.
All they found waa that the ten
men in the room, five senators and
five representatives, had faulty mem
ories. The representatives implied
that the senators did it, and the sen
ators blamed It on the house mem
bers. An Invisible spy-ghost who appar
ently blew Into the conference room
along with the two amendments, has
a private solution of this congres
sional mystery. He thinks he dis
tinctly saw the glue applied for the
two amendments by none other than
those two Democratic senators who
have spread so much glue in the path
of certain extreme phases of the new
deal, Senators Carter Gloss and Royal
Copeland.
This may be disputed, because sev
eral proposals were made and voted
on before the final compromise was
reached. The votes taken by confer
ence committees are alwalys consid
ered deep secrets, but the same pay
ghost reports that the two deciding
votes were obviously those of the
fiery Virginian and the subtle New
Yorker.
All ten conferees ultimately ap
proved the changes, thus obscuring
the accomplishments of the two glue
boys.
It will be denied, but It Is true
that the Democratic leaders in con
gress privately believed the amend
ments were fairly good ones. At heart
they have little sympathy with or
hope for subsistence homesteads,
slums clearance and non-federal PWA
projects. A few of them also oppose
the buying and building of public
power plants. They were required to
keep their own Judgment to them
selves because the White Hou.e de
manded It.
The relief window-blowing feat Is
almost surpassed by the mysttry of
ths new sdmlnlstratlon NBA bill.
The official story now Is that Sena
tor Pat Harrison was walking past
on open window of his finance com
mittee, when he felt someone slip
something Into his pocket. He reach
ed for it and found an NRA bill,
which, strangely enough, was Just
the one the administration wanted.
The purpose of the story Is to main
tain the fiction that congress is orlcl
nstlng the new NRA legislation. Co
ordinator Rlchberg Is being quoted
ss saving that he has furnished rec
ommendations, but that the actual
work of drafting the bill was per
formed by the senate's legislative
drafting service.
This Is merely a diplomatic evasion
of the fact that the bill Is essentially
the Richberg-Whlteslde bill.

PERILS INDUSTRY
SENATORS TOLD
WASHINGTON. April 3. (AP) A
committee of business men claiming
to represent thousands of Industrial
units employing millions of workers
warned the senate finance committee
today lta long investigation of NRA
was "creating an atmosphere of un
certainty" and urged it to report out
a bill to extend the recovery organi
zation "at the earliest possible date."
The warning was sent to the com
mittee in a telegram, which Chair
man Harrison placed in the record. It
was signed by Ward Cheney, chair
man of the treasuary and business
committee for NRA extension.
The telegram went into the record
at the end of a two hour session, in
which the committee heard L. A
Janney, New York attorney, propose
a new system for regulating Industry
by having congress write into law
specific unfair trade practices, which
would be enforceable in the federal
courts.
Janney was called hack for the af
ternoon session to expound his the
ory of how the government should
accomplish the purposes of NRA in
accord with normal Judicial practice.
Downtown, meanwhile, reports to
the national code committee of the
lumber code authority Indicated a
majority of the Industry favors im
mediate suspension of the code as a
result of the government's action in
abandoning a supreme court teat of
NRA through the Belcher violation
case.
A vote reported to the control com
mlttee showed 56 agencies of the code
authority In favor of Immediate sus
pension. It listed 36 agencies against
abandonment of the cede, while 14
were non-commltal and reports had
not been receded from 33 others.

By the Associated Press,
The completion of conversations

forth Indications that European
statesmen are about to attempt the
formulation of "Pan-European

From various quarters came Indi

In French official quarters Po

PORTLAND, April 3. (AP) If you
hold a state liquor purchasing per

has not bought such a SO-cent docu

open to action by the Oregon Liquor
Control commission and the federal
collector of Internal revenue.
The collootor and ths commission

Thus, If your unlicensed friend pass
es you some silver and says "If you're
getting whisky, I'll get gin," you are
subject to a 25 a year tax as a re
tall liquor dealer even though you
don't profit by the transaction.
