The flncl failure to meet the problem of the railroads the most pressing single economic problem now confronting the country was a fitting last chap ter In the story of the 77th congrew It summed up tho strange, creeping paralysis to which the aolons suc cumbed whenever they were faced with the need for positive action. The coup de grace to tho drive for Immediate railroad legislation was seemingly administered by John Nance Garner. The . genial, bustling vice-president did not like the btil to ball out the busted roads. Re said so. with his accustomed frank ness and emphasis, to anyone who would listen, tnchidlng the president. As he .put It to friendly senators In trie senate lobbies, his argument was: "Jesse Jones has got too damned much to do already. I'm against handing the whole damned railroad system in the country over to him now. And I'm against doing Im portant work In such a damned hurry." , ' .; .

It may be assumed that he kept so secrets from his friends In the houss And Bankhead and Raybura blocked last minute railroad legislation by re fusing to let It come up in their chamber. Certainly no one but the vice-president stood In the path. Aftor blow ing hot and cold for several months, the president had worked up a mild enthusiasm for some sort of railroad act. Many members of the senate recognized the deadly dangers Involv ed In calmly letting the railroads go to smash. And railroad labor, which had first tried to bludgeon the man agements out of a wage cut by op posing the RFC lending bill came "round at the last minute.

(AP) After disposing of two questions of vital Importance this morni ng. Oregon state Grangers, still faced with the necessity of adjourning some time tonight, today buckled down for a final assault on an almost Insurmountable mass of busi ness. At the noon recess today action remained to be taken on 45 reso lutions, several of them highly con troversial In nature. Grange officers predicted that adjournment before 3 a.m. Saturday was unlikely. Friends Balk Effort. Efforts by the opposition bloc In stat grange affairs to restrict the powers of State Master Ray W. GUI and to force his retirement from of fice at the end of his current term, fallpd to score as GUI Grangers ral lied to the support of the present administration. A pair of resolutions proposing changes In Grange election procedure and purportedly aimed at GUI were roundly defeated after being brought to the floor with unfavorable com mittee reports. The convention refused to amend the Grange by-laws to limit the state master's tenure of office to two consecutive terms and rejected a second proposal recommending election of state grange officers by delegates at the regular annual meeting Instead of the present pre conventlon primary system. Keep Charge Privilege. The Grange also refused to curb Its members' privilege of laying charges against any other member. Voted down, on advice of committee, was a resolution making It a vio lation of Grange law for any granger to question the standing of another granger, except a member of the same subordinate Grange, without first filing his complaint with the Grange secretary. The state master will appoint the auditing committee before the ses sion of the state grange each year. Proposals by Callamette Grange that the auditing committee be other wise appointed failed to receive sup port. Corvallls won't get the Grange convention every third year, the delegates decided in defeating a mo tion to that effect. Henry Hess. Democratic nominee for governor, was on the convention scene today, greeting rank and file grangers from all part of the state. Not a granger himself, Hess was not Admitted to Grange sessions and will not address the convention. MILLION FOR ROOD WASHINGTON, June 17.

Nevertheless, the senator feels his, brief stay here a "delightful exper ience. " "I wouldn't want congress as a career, however." he said. "Perhaps If I had a lot of money and didn't have to worry about being thrown out of office while I was flat broke, 1 would feel differently." The senator said that much of the congressman's routine seemed to h'm to be "a waste of time." He said If he were a "career-man" i on Capitol hill he would attempt to conduct his affairs on a "business 1 basis.

RAGING YELLOW RIVER SHANGHAI, June 17. (AP) A hundred-mile-long blanket of muddy water spread rapidly southeast thru Honan province today as half-naked Japanese engineers, aided by thou sands of Chinese peasants, labored desperately In rushing currants to mend broken dikes of the Yellow river. Continuing rain, however, appeared to doom their efforts as the yellow cascade pouring through wide breaks In the dikes north and west of Kai feng reached the walls of Chowkls kow, nearly 100 miles north of the normal course. An Associated Press correspondent, flying over the 'flood area, , reported the river appeared to be changing Its course to Join China's other great river, the Yangtze. The yellow torrent wm flowing Into a tributary of the Hwal river, whence it would reach the Yangtze below Nanking, former Chinese capital'. -.. The water seemed to be cutting a new channel from which it might not be diverted until Japanese could re pair the broken dikes some time next fall or winter. Japanese staff officers at Kalfeng said the. task of. stemming the floor now appeared to be hopeless. U was estimated a. full 600,000 homeless Chinese soon would be In flight before the flood, traveling by land and water.- WPA HELM HERE PORTLAND. Ore., June 17.

He haa been with the WPA since Ita beginning. and less time making speeches. "A mat. could" get' a lot accomplish ed that way," he explained. "One does not have to make speeches to be i good congressman." The retiring senator, a, long-time Democrat, thinks It would be a good Idea, "legislatively speaking." If the Republicans had more power In con gress. "Congress is so lopsided now,M he observed. "It is not a healthy con dition. You get your beet legislation when you have to fight It through; when there la a close division; when concessions must be made to accomp lish an end." Reames plans to leave Immediately with adjournment for Medford, Orc his home, "to try and get back some Of the law practice I left behind." The senator has virtually recovered from a severe attack of pneumonia that kept him In Navy hospital for weeks. Shortly after his discharge from the hospital he went to Ber muda and "baked In the sun" for 10 days. "I feel a little weak yet, but 1 am eating more than I have In years," Rrnmra said. The senator returned to his office and put in several appearances in the senate chamber prior to adjournment.

The lobby argument kept the sen ate In session until 8:32 p. m. (EST) while members grew noisier and noisier. Occasional applause rang out In the crowded galleries In violation of the rules.

On Green not ipaper, the chief execu tive wrote Vice-President Garner and Speaker Bankhead that the session had brought "much constructive legis lation for the benefit of the people." . "Definitely, we are making progress In meeting the many new problems which confront us," the president added.
