M ON GUARD DURING EXECUTION WILL FACE HEM LEGISLA1N LIST Social Security, Labor Laws, New Aids For Farmers Among Tasks Several New Deal Laws Expiring. (By the Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Not. a. Social security, labor legislation and new adds for the nation's farmer stood out today among the problems fac ing the Incoming congress. Many other highly Important tasks confront the legislators as a result of Impending expiration of a number of new deal emergency statutes. Hardy legislative perennials will add to the burden. The senate will have to deal again with the proposed St. Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada and the president's power to negotiate reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries which, expire June la unless extended. May Tinker Social Security The social security act, center of bitter i controversy In the cam paign's closing Hours appeared due for some overhauling. The 30-hour week bill, sidetracked In two previous congresses, still Is on the American Federation of Labor's "must" list and Chairman Oonnery (D.. Mass.) of the bouse labor committee ' has signified his intention of bringing It up again. In view of campaign statements some form of crop Insurance bill appears certain as well as some ad ditional soli conservation program. A new bill to stabilize the giant soft coal industry has been promised by Senator Ouffey (D-Pa.), co-author of the Invalidated coal control act. Outstanding among expiring new deal laws are those granting presi dential power to vary the gold con tent of the dollar and maintain a 2,000,000,000 stabilization fund. These expire January 20 unless con gress acts beforehand. Some Laws Expiring Almost every month thereafter until September some Important piece of legislation . Is scheduled to terminate. Including ..the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation's authority to provide emergency financing for agriculture, commerce, Industry and financial Institutions. The civilian conservation corps, with Its 350,000 enrollees. needs new legislation If It Is to continue after March 31, statutory powers of the electric farm and home authority to finance sales expire February 1: the reduced rate of Interest from farm mortgages given to federal land banks and the three cent rate for letter postage both die July 1. Taxation alone promises to glvo the new congress plenty of work, for. In addition to expiration of a num ber of excise levies which produced about 8300.000.000 In the last fiscal year, there Is a strong likelihood the 1939 tax act with Its levy on cor poration surpluses will be subjected to revision.

(UP) Because of lack of track spac, the St. Paul Union station employs one of the most umiftunl traffic directing sys tems In the world. The system Inaugurated nearly 10 years ago, haa proved to successful that traffic officials . from many other states ' and even- foreign" "HKT tlons have come here for a first band demonstration of It operation. Unlike other large terminals where Interlocking plants are U3cd to switch trains onto property tracks, the St. Paul station employs a number of switchmen who follow Instructions from loud spenkers. When a train approaches the station, the central train directing station Is notified by telephone and the train director broadcasts routing directions to the switchmen. Supplementing the loud speaker method of directing traffic Is the use of a telautograph system which by an Intricate electrical operation allows messages written on a pad at one point to be recorded simul taneously at several other points The loud speakers and telauto graph machines are strategically dis tributed throughout the yards and the station, thus permitting all in volved to know the exact position of trains. This traffic directing system was employed at the yard because of the necessity to convergo 33 sets of tracks Into a space permitting only six tracks and then branching them out again Into the various track sheds. Lack of the necessary prop erty at one point of the right of way will not permit the construction of 32 tracks all the way Into the stntlon. OLD OREGON TRAIL IN NEBRASKA GETS REPAIRS BY WPA ENGLAND KEEPS DISTINCT TILLS FORJPENTERS 'Conscience. Fund' Kept Up For Valued Moral Effect Despite Excessive Cost Custom Dates To 1798 8COTT8 BLUFF, Neb. (UP) A part of the Oregon Trail, a main artery of traffic In the westward march of an empire before the com Ing of the railroads to the west. Is being restored In Nebraska. The' WPA and two counties In the western part of the state are re bulldtnfjdjrravellng & part of the old trail along the south side of the North Platte river. The trail Is being rebuilt according to specifications of the highway department and will bo taken Into the state highway sys tem. The road will serve chiefly as farm-td-market route for the thickly populated area south of the river. Between 1849 and I860, years of the California gold rush, the Ore gon Trail became the greatest trav eled highway In the country, accord ing to Dr. A. E. Sheldon, director of the state historical society. . "It was wider and more beaten than city streets and hundreds of thousands passed over It," Sheldon said. LONDON (UP) The British gov ernment's "conscience fund" Is the most expensive revenue received and the exchequer would frown on all anonymous contributions if tt were not for the moral effect, which, - It Is admitted, Is priceless. This fund averages about $10,000 a year and Is so called because sub ject whose consciences have been pricked but who lack the courage to reveal their Identity, pay up after cheating the government. However, although the British pub lic does not know this, the official "conscience fund" includes only a part of the payments made to the government from promptings of con science. If the anonymous donor makes any reference, however oblique, to Income tax which he has evaded paying and for which he seeks to make restlutlon, his contribution la promptly turned over to the inland revenue and Is, for purely depart mental reasons, excluded from the official "conscience fund.'. all of which Is earmarked for "miscellan eous receipts." Amount Never Rcvonlrd. It la believed that such contribu tions frequently exceed the annual "conscience fund," though no fig' ures are available. If that be true, then apparently something like 30, 000 would be nearer the mark as representing the government's total annual receipts from civic repent ance. However, concealed resolutely from the public eye In the most hidden archives of the Inland revenue Is , a third believed to be large source of similar Income. These are the pay ments of back. Income tax openly made by distressed tax-dodgers who, for one reason or another, want to "come clean," It is generally known that the Inland revenue treate with : great consideration the donors of such "windfalls," but no referenco' is ever made to such receipts in the annual reports and nobody will even ha card a guess as to the annual average total. Traced to 1708 It Is believed that the "conscience fund" has existed from the begin nings of income tax, which was 1798, or at any rate, from the beginning of peacetime Income tax. which was 1842, but this Is a chapter of British fiscal experience which has not yet been written. Favorite device of donors is to enclose Bank of England notes, in complete unawarcnesa that their anonymity Is thereby endangered, for the Bank of England has a largo staff keeping full records of the dis tribution of these notes to the banks and the banks in turn keep, very laboriously, a full record of the persona who drew them, so that the government. If it cared to. oould come close to tracing the donor. But it never bothers to and con tents itself with putting a little paragraph in the Times acknowledg ing the receipt. ITALY ACCLAIMS SOLDIER -ARTIST FOR WAR WORK ROME (UP) Black and white sketches depicting vivid scenes in the Italo-Ethloplan campaign are bringing fame to a comparatively unknown artist of the Lucanla re glon In southern Italy. The artist Is Lieut. Mario Cangian elll, who, since his return a few weeks ago from East Africa, has ex hibited bis works In Italy's largest cities and dally Is receiving plaudits of the fascist press. Enthusiastic Italian art critics say that Canglanellt's sketches, a ma jority of which were executed on mule-back during highly dangerous field operations, are Invaluable art istically and as documentary evi dence of the colonial campaign which brought to Rome Its first em pire In 18' centurle. - With almost photographic accur acy, Cnnglanelll has vividly recorded with his fast pencil all conceivable elements of native and army life In East Africa. His sketches range from nudes of Ethiopian women to lone Akarl sentinels standing watch on precipitous mountain peaks. Italian critics say he also capably sketched Marshal Badogllo while the latter was directing large scale troop movements. Canglanetl spent 14 months In East Africa. At the outbreak of the Italo-Ethloplan war he Joined the famous Toselll bntnllton as a lieu tenant and led its Askart members through some of the most dangerous phases of the campaign. Often during hazardous marches over Amba Aradnm and Debra Amba, In the TVmblen. he halted his mule to record picturesque war scenes. Fighting which foreign war corres pondents found hard to describe In limited cable dispatches, he has re produced in hla black and white en gravings, with beautiful "chiaros curo" effects. On several occasions, working by torchlight, he sketched shadows of laughing -hyenas lurking near the Askarl field camps. CanglanelU's works are the fliot by soldier-artists who participated In the Italo-Ethloplan campaign to re ceive public recognition. Exhibitions of works by other artists are expect ed to follow. Few paintings and sketches of life In Ethiopia are included In the Italian exhibit at the Venice biennial art exposition. Directors of the bi ennial explained tills was largely be cause a majority of exhibits had been prepared at the time the East African campaign came to a close and troops began to return home. The exhibition of Italian futurist artists Includes several paintings de pleting bombing expeditions and in fantry advances. LOW RICES Aged 18 months r a -A ' 1Q v8 m a. mi V4P1Nt35 QUART Sf CAS MFO.
