GARNER KILLED

FAILURE TYPIFIED

WASHINGTON, June 17. 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." , ' .;
. The vice-president Is the great and
good friend and patron of the houso
leaders. Speaker William B. Bankhead
and Representative Sam Ray bum

railroad matter to everyone else. 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

to smash. And railroad labor, which

FOES DEFEATED
IN EFFORTS TO
RESTRICT CHIEF
Opposition Bloc in Conven
tion Also Fails to Force
Master's Retirement at
End of Present Term
KLAMATH FALLS, June 17. (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.

Alfred Evan Reames, Democratic Ju

is going home home to stay.
"Being a senator even for a short
time Is not my Idea of a good
thing." remarked Reames, who came
to congress last February aa an inter
im successor to Frederick Stelwer, re
signed. His term expires with the general
election In November.
In hla own words. . Reames haa
"spent half my time In Washington
In a hospital and the other half keep
ing my mouth shut."
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. ' He would spend more tinv I

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.-

"A mat. could" get' a lot accomplish

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

Wrangling Over Roosevelt
Proposals Continues to
Final Bang of Gavels
Kind Words. otV Departure
By WILLIAM B. AXDRRY
WASHINGTON. June 17. (AP)
Five hundred-odd members of the
75th congress, who had begged for
weeks to quit work, finally went home
today to ask the voters to return
them next January.
Until the gavels whacked out ad
journment last night, they wrangled
over Roosevelt proposals Just as they
had done ever since the court reor
ganization bill waa submitted 16
months ago.
The senate and house, in their last
meeting, approved the president's $3.
753,000,000 relief and public works
program, but enacted over his veto a
bill continuing low lntoreat rates on
government loans to farmers.
Shelve Lobby Fund.
Then, In a final show of Independ
ence, filibustering senators shelved a
proposal to furnish $12,500 to the sen
ate lobby committee. Senator Burke
(D.. Neb.) contended the money would
be used to abridge freedom of the
press, a statement which Chairman
Mlnton (D., Ind.) of the committee
hotly denied.
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.
The house, always hilarious Just he
fore adjournment, listened to round
robins ot praise for majority and mi
nority members alike. It was 0:08
p. m. before Speaker Bankhead could
atop the oratory.
, , Praise From F. R.
Toward the end, both chambers
paused to hesr weary clerks read some
kind words from President Roosevelt.
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.
Although he didn't get all the legis
lation he wanted, Mr. Roosevelt had
reason to send his letter of apprecia
tion to the first congress of his sec
ond term.
Only this week he won one of his
key requests establishment of wage
hour standards. Earlier, congress ap
proved his recommendations for hous
ing, farm and naval legislation, and
an anti-trust Inquiry.

FOR GERMAN PAYMENT
OF AUSTRIA'S DEBTS
WASHINGTON, June 17. (AP)
The United States demanded emphat
ically today for the second time that
Germany assume Austria's debts to
this government and American cltl-'
zens.
Hugh Wilson, the American ambas
sador in Berlin, delivered a formal
note to the German government, on
instructions from Secretary Hull.
The United States declared its "dis
sent from the Indicated position of
the German government as to Its
legal responslbiltles."
(Germany, through Finance Minis
ter Walther Funk, has stated It was
not liable for Austria's obligations.)
The United States also "expressed
the hope that Oermany may yet
undertake the payments Incumbent
on It under International law and
under equity."
The note declared that under In
ternational law, the state taking over
another country "assumes the debts
and obligations of the absorbed state,
and takes the burdens with the
benefits."
Austria's debt to this government
totals $24,055,708. Amertcan-subscrtb
ed loans floated by Austrian munlcl
pall ties, utilities and development
projects aggregate even more.

FOR JERSEY CZAR
Mayor Hague's Statement
to Press Cited by At
torney Ernst for Plaintiff
in Free Speech Suit
NEWARK, N. J.. June 17. (AP)
Morris L. Ernst, of counsel for the I
plaintiff CIO and American Civil Lib- I
ertles Union in the federal court !
free speech" suit against Muyor i
Frank Hague of Jersey City, asked
Judgo William Clark today to hold
Hague In contempt for Issuing a
statement to the press which he had
been unable to give from the witness
stand.
Ernat made the contempt charge
against the Democratic political
chieftain at the opening of the after
noon session, stating he had learned
of Hague's out-of-court statement
from newsmen.
In the statement given reporters
by Hague after he left the stand this
morning, the mayor accused Ernst
of having been responsible for stop
ping a New York legislative commit
tee from exposing radical Influences
In the public schools of that state.
Resents Arccusatlon
"That statement accuses me. a
member of the bar, of having wreck
ed a senatorial investigation commit
tee of New York," Ernst told the
court.
The New York attorney, often la
beled a communist by Hague, said
he did not ssk the court to rule on
hla contempt motion lmmedltacty
but stated he would file a brier In
support ot hla motion that the court
take such action.
Hague started to repeat his charge
against Ernst from tho stand, but
Judge Clark cut htm off, explaining
he could file ' briefs answering tha
contempt affidavits Ernst said he
would file next Tuesday.
The Judge said It was his under
standing that federal law provided
for holding In contempt a witness or
attorney who made an out-of-court
statement Intended to Influence the
court.
Apotogy Offered
"If I have offended the court. I
want to apologise," said Hague, turn
ing to Judge Clark and bowing hla
head.
"I done It with no Intention of of
fending the court.
"It Is a serious question for the
country to know how the commun
ists can away that type of influence,"
he began, trying to repeat his charge
that Ernst blocked the New York
Inquiry,
"You can examine me I'm not
afraid of you," Hague said as Ernst
choked him off.
"I have no fear when I'm taking
the side of the American people," the
mayor said.
Alleged tie-ups between the so
called aarland fund and the Ameri
can Clvlt Liberties Union with com
munistic groups In the United Statea
were cited by Hague as reasons for
his self-styled "war on reda and radi

Interests Defined
The. public Is more Interested to
day than ever before In news about
Industry, In economic and social
news, Mr. Youel told the assembly.
People everywhere are heard talking
about Industry and there has de
veloped a confusion of beliefs, he
said. Newspapers are in a strategic
position to counteract this confu
sion. Immature vlewa can be cor
rected by newspaper use of com
mon horse -sense, he stated.
Because the shift of public think
ing toward economics was sudden
both Industry and the press were
caught unprepared, Mr. Youel said.
"Being In the news is a compara
tive novelty for business men and
they haven't known quite how to
