.CONGESTI0NI IN
CONGRESS- NOW
is LESS ACUTE
Failure TO Agree on Substi-
tute Farm Relief Bill
Changes Situation
APPROPRIATIONS ARE UP
Hcclamations and Navy Bill
Are Before Congress For
Quick Action

Washington, June b BY the A.
PD--With farm relief legislation
along the line of the defeated Nc
Nary Haugen blu definitely aban
dCned in the House by Republican
leaders and the Muscle Shoals Ques-
tion put over until December by
the Senate, the congestion in Con-
Gless today had been cons idcrably
relieved.
Much remained to be done before
adjournment Saturday night, how
ever. with reclamation and naval
modernization measures the prin-
ciple items remaining on the pro-
gram.
An omnibus pension bill similar
to the one passed late yesterday
carrying about 200 proposals affect
ing veterans of various wars and de-
bendents had right-of-way in the
Senate today with the $15O,OO0, 900
bill designed to bring the Navy up
to the 5.5-3 ratio agreed upon by
the Washington arms conference, in
second place. The latter as passed
by the House last week, calls for
construction of eight Scout cruisers
ard six river gun boats and con-
version of six battleships into oil
burners with installation, in addi-
ton, of devices for protection
against submarine and aircraft.
Despite the decision Of Republican
leaders to abandon efforts to put
through farm export measure,
agricultural relief was before the
House in the form of the Hoch re-
solution instructing the Interstate
Commerce Commissio to make a
freight survey looking to a general
or farm products. Several confer
ence reports on various bills also
were before the Chamber, along
with the Champion measure to es-
tablish separate prohibition bu-
reau in the Treasury departm ent,
and opponents of the reclamation
bill were prepared to move for its
passage under a suspension Of rules
limiting debate, preventing amend
ment and requiring two-thirds
majority.
Senate action on the reclamation
measure, which is based on recon-
mendations of the Interior Depart
ment fact fipding commission, was
planned along similar lines except
that sponsors hoped to attach it as
"rider" to the $15S, 900 defic-
ieEcy bill passed yesterday by the
House, which carries, among other
items, $131,943,000 to defray the
first years cost of the bonus law

BY LEARRY BOARDMAN
NEA Service Writer

Washington, June 5--Otf the coast
of Greenland, in spot that isn't
good for much else anyhow, the
weather for most of the United
States is made.
When this spot remains off the tip
of that country in the springtime,
we have normal weather.
But it has slipped south and west.
That's what has caused rain on the
Atlantic seaboard, floods and lorna
does in the central states and snow
as far away as the >Dakotas, says
Major Edward H. Bowie, supervising
forecaster of the U. S. Weather Bu-
reau.
This slipping post is known as the
normal low pressure area.
How does a low pressure area gov
ern the weather?
When the air in given region is
warmed it becomes lighter, forming
a low pressure area. Heavier, colder
air rushes in. The warm air with
its quantity of moisture is forced
higher.
There it is cooled and condensed
its capacity for holding moisture is
less and the moisture forced out in
the form Of rain and snow.
But the cold air rushing toward

in business received a message that a
black hearse sent by him up in Powha

broke down right in front OF the

statement urging more liberal atti
