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.

ST. PAUL. Minn. (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.

'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.
