GRAZING LANDS IN WEST

Sharp opposition to the leasing

was voiced to the Senate Public
Lands Committee today by FRANK

Republican leader of the House.
Mondell said he opposed both the
Stanfield and Phipps bills to estab-

Such procedure. he warned, would
be to reverse the national policy
maintained ever since the first
homestead law was passed in 1860.

That Comptroller General J, r.
1cCarl "threw monkey wrench
into the works" yesterday, when
he ruled the Arlington Memorial
Bridge contracts illegal, was gem
orally admitted today by members
Of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission. who are studying the
RECESSION in an effort to find .
solution to the problem of what
70 do next.
Contracts Approved
The Comptroller decision threw
out contracts drawn up last fail
between the bridge commission and
consulting architects and engineers.
The contracts were with McKim,
Mead & White. consulting archi-
tects, and w. ]. Douglas, consult
ing engineer.
These two firms have been work
ing on the plans for the bridge
from the very beginning of the
project and officials are emphatic
In declaring that 1t would be q
mistake to make change at this
time. And yet the same officials
are certain that the services Of
these two firms cannot be obtained
under the conditions laid down by
the Comptroller, because these con-
ditions provide that services of this
kind should be obtained on a sal
airy basis, with compensation in
lie
Some Members Bitter
Some of the Bridge Commission
members were bitter today in their
denunciation OF the Comptroller
decision. They pointed out that the
very law which McCarl cited tc
support his ruling-the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission bill:
was drawn up by the commission
and passed by Congress in order
10 authorize just such contracts as
these the Comptroller has ruled
Illegal. A provision of the bill to
which they point, follows:
That the executive officer OF
the commission is authorized,
with the approval OF the COM
mission, to employ services Of.
engineers, architects, sculptors,.
artists, and other personnel, as.
shall be determined necessary,
without reference to Civil Serv
ice requirements and at rates
determined by said commission"
Major u. s. Grant, Sd. executive
officer OF the commission, Indicated
today that it may be necessary for
President Coolidge. chairman Of the
commission, to call a meeting OF
the full commission to decide what
anr%4nva rHyffl ha fokQn
Meanwhile, he said, he will go
ahead with the construction Of the
foundation of the bridge which is
scheduled TO begin next month.
Phe consulting engineers and ar
chitects already have completed
their work relating to this part of
the construction.

LOVES VALENTINE

To one j know Is quite divine
I'd Hike to be her valentine;
IL In return she would be mine,
We would on Love together dine.
We'd look for good In each to find,
And to our faults we'd be quite blind,
And in nfe's mystery we'd find
A silken cord our hearts to bind.
And as the days should flow along,
We'd pass them by with joyous song.
And were we right, or were we wrong,
We'd know to each doth each belong.
We'd know that noueht us twain
could part,
For Love would reign within each
heart, -
And II sorrows pain should hurt and
We'd see the triumph Of an art.
Touch each soul with hOIIeF Things
Than evil with Its poison -stinRS,
Since God gives Love Its golden wings
To rise above unweic0ninEs.
I therefore hail thee ~ divine,
And eternal pledge my love with
thine.
Thus may our hearts for e'er entwine,
Each to each. Loves Valentine.
