Newspaper Page TextI: PAGE TWO MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORTj. OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1941 E AT WHITE HOUSE Over Four Billion Dollars Cleared by Congress in Final Strenuous Hours Washington, July 1. fP Congressional clerks today speeded to the president for sig nature more than $4,000,000,000 In appropriations, the product of the last strenuous session of the old fiscal year which ended at midnight. Weary members of the house of representatives cleared their desks and quit at 10:30 p. m (EST) and the senate did not ad Jour until 10:44. Team-work be tween the two houses, marred only by minor disputes, cleared not only the key spending bills but also legislation expanding and continuing the commodity credit corporation. The day's work brought close to 540,000,000,000 the record breaking total of congressional appropriations and spending authorizations voted thus far this session. Relief Includtd The principal measures dis patched to President Roosevelt during the lengthy day were: The S910.S05.000 relief bill me $i.udu,3uu,U03 farm meas ure, including funds for "parity payments to farmers; the $1 195,831,940 supply bill for the labor department and the secur ity agency; the $1,030,000,000 deficiency bill, providing more than $400,000,000 for 2.236 new naval planes: the $54,183,106 supply bill for the District of Columbia and the $25,002,256 appropriation for the mainten ance of congress itself. Also approved was a measure continuing the commodity cred it corporation for two years from today and increasing its lending power from $1,400,000, 000 to $2,650,000,000. The In crease was necessary in part to provide for recently-authorized commodity loans at 85 per cent of parity prices.

Science Casts Cold Eye - Upon Hopi Snake Dance New York (U.R) Science is severely critical of the Hopl In dian snake dance. Ever since way around northern Arizona, dancers. How they were able get bitten was a mystery. It Is a mystery no longer as. far as some experts are con cerned. At considerable per sonal risk. Dr. Charles M. Bo- gert of the American Museum of Natural History discovered a trick behind the ceremonial. In Natural History, the museum' monthly magazine, he tells all. Dr. Bogcrt attended one of the nine-day ceremonials in a Hopi village last August. Ho sat with the Indians and watchfld priests dance with wrig gling reptiles In their mouths. He counted 10 prairie rattlers, three Great Basin racers, nine Arizona bull snakes and one glossy snake. At the close of the ceremony, the priests seized as many snaKes as they could carry, dashed in to the desert, and released the serpents among the rocks. Dr. Bogert and a companion, trying to make their actions as unobtrusive as possible, slipped into the desert themselves, found a 34-Inch rattler, rolled It In a length of sack, and hid the bundle In Dr. Bogert's hat. If the Indians had seen them manhandling one of their "sac red messengers," there's no tell ing what might hnve happened. But they didn't, and, in the shelter of a convenient gully, Dr. Bogert examined the snake. A hasty examination," he rt- ports, "proved no fangs to be present." Back at their camp, they made a more thorough examination and found that the snake's em bryo fangs had been removtd. making it "permanently and completely safe to handle." The venom glands were intact, but without the fangs, the snake was harmless. What surprised Dr. Bogert was not so much the fact Ihnt the primary fangs had been re moved but that the embryo fangs hod been skillfully ex cised. "It remains an astonishing fact," he writes, "that the Hopl Indians are sufficiently well ac quainted with the anatomy of the rattlesnake to remove m skillfully the reserve fangs. "Few people, even among those who habitually handle ral tlesnnkes In circuses or in carni val shows, are aware nf the fart thot nil venomous snakes peri odically shed their fangs, and that merely breaking off the functional fangs does not rendr the serpents permanently harm less." Dr. Bogcrt thinks that Hindu fakirs also are fakers, and that their "power to charm the dead ly cobra'' rests 'on the secure knowledge that its fangs have been removed. Of Alaka's 72.000 popula tion, about 39.000 are white.

July l.UPi If the house ways and means com mittee has its way, every pri vately owned automobile in tht United State will be wearing a 19 federal tax sticker to help raise tht desired $3,300,000,000 of new revenue to finance the defense program. The committee recommended tht new annual levy lata yes terday along with a lot of other excise taxes designed to pro- auce aoout 1733,000,000 of that additional revenue and Chair man Doughton (D., N.C.) sug gested that "sticker" receipts for the auto tax might bt (old through postofflces. Another committee recom mendation likely to affect a broad section of the population was that five percent tax be Imposed on all passenger trans portation fsres over 35 cents, whether by rail, water, air or bus. As one means of raising the remaining money, the commit tee today looked for a way to tax soft drinks without increas ing their retail prices.
