House Gets Ritzy'; Bells
On Elevators Coded
BY THEODORE TILLER

It seems the House is getting
"ritzy." Almost without public
attention it is and has been grad
ually acquiring Senate ways, even
to the ringing of elevator bells
and the setting apart of parking
spaces for members only.
Take the signs that the be-
wildered tourist and taxpayer
finds near certain elevators in
the House Office Building. One
warns:
Three Rings for Members
Only, 1880 a. m. to 5 p. m"
A hurried and nervous visitor
who may thoughtlessly punch the
call bell three or four times may
get a dirty look from an opera
tor, who's supposed to know
who's who. Anyway, it is fairly
easy to pick out most Congress
men in a crowd.
Then there's another sign 60
ing a bit further. It gives no
tice:
Members Only, 1880 a. m.
to p. M"
Across the way bit is a sec
ond elevator where the public
may ride; but members may use
that, too.
OF course, the plea is that
members frequently are in a
rush to get over to the House
chamber from the office build
ing and answer roll calls. But
a roll call in the House, with it's
435 members, takes from 35 to
As minutes and the roll is twice
called to protect the absentees.
So, really, a statesman could con-
quer the short distance between
the two buildings in much less
time than that.
In the House wing there's one
elevator concession made to q
class of fellows who have to do

ARMY SEEKS AIR
DEFENSE PLAN

Low altitude airplane attacks on
ground forces were so startlingly
demonstrated in recent Army
aviation maneuvers that blanket
orders have been issued for speedy
development of defense methods,
It was learned today.
Methods of repulsing the old
type Of mass air attacks have
been developed but the new type
OF attack has not yet been met
with adequate means of defense.
Officials privately expressed the
opinion no other means Of waging
war would prove so demoralizing
to ground forces as machine guns
raklng from airplaneS speeding so
fast no fefense could be made in
time to prevent the virtual ami
hilation Of a regiment.
Secretary Of War Hurley di-
rected chiefs of infantry, field
artillery and engineers to submit
recommendations for development
of a defense. He asked for def
mite requests from division heads
Tor the armament and equipment
they believe necessary for de-
tense work.
Old campaigners expressed the
belief that the new menace from
the sky might develop a more
open type of troop formation,
thus scattering them as targets
Tor air raids. This, along with
further development of camou-
tlage, would prove the most ef-
fective means Of battling air at
tackS, they said. -"

in Senate
Demand Legislation

The inSurgent bloc of the Sen
ate today laid a legislative pro-
gram before President Hoover's
congressional leaders with a de-
mand for its enactment within
the next two months.
The insurgents backed their de-
mand with . gentle hint that
otherwise q special session Of the
new Congress would be necessary.
The program included enactment
Of additional farm relief, power
regulation, Muscle Shoals, rail-
road consolidation and anti.in-
junction legislation, along with
the Norris lame duck" COnstitu-
tiOnaE Amendment.
The inSurgent proposal was
made at the very time Admins
tration leaders were hopefully
planning a course to avoid q spe-
cial session. Senator James E.
Watson, spokesman for the Presi-
dent, has led the group opposing
a special session.
The Administrations attitude
angered Senator William e. Borah
(R0 Of Idaho, who said:
This talk about Congress dis
turbing business, or that q SeS->
sion Of Congress would be an
unmixed evil, is an effort to as
sign q patriotic excuse for 60

all the things they want to do,
and then making every possible
excuse to 60 home and do moth.

A TENNIS CLUB is
IN PROSPECT HERE

With prospects and location good
on the school grounds, Askov tennis
fans may have an opportunity of in
dulging in their favorite pastime this
summer if the present plans work out
successfully. With the idea of or
ganizing club, a meeting has been
called by a few interested, for Tues
day evening at s o'clock to take place
at the school house. Ladies interest
ed and who enjoy playing tennis are
especially requested to come to this
meeting along with the men in order
to make it possible to get an idea on
how many wish to play and to make
arrangements for courts. A site that
seems to be fitted to the needs of
such a club is located behind the
school building and it is thought with
very little leveling this can be made
into a nice court.
If a club is organized then it is
possible that, besides being able to
enjoy the game during the coming
summer months, local tournaments
can be arranged, such as are being
staged in other places.

A FULL REPORT

The editor af the Livermore, Iowa,

in when a minister, a road report
and poultry lecture were on the

heard:
1.-The old testament tells us that baby
chicks should detour one mile south
of Salina and listen to the words OF
the prophets. Be careful in the Sc
lection of your eggs and you will
find hard surface roads on to Garden

are muddy west of the hen houses and
clean straw is essential if you would

NEW PLAN OFFERED
FOR CANNING PLANT

Nearly 200 shares of common stock
were represented at the canning fac
tory meeting Monday evening in the
Askov D. B. S. hall. After the meet
had been called to order by President
A. j. Larsen, j. E. Barr of ST. Cloud
gave short talk explaining some new
angles of the proposed business. Dep
uty Commissioner of Agriculture, H.
j. Hay of St Paul, was present and
in an able and interesting manner
he explained the benefits which might
be derived if the organization here
plan instead of the present corpora
ton system. Under the cooperative
plan the company can function under
the federal marketing act and there
by be relieved of the annual burden
of securing finances for the pack. Mr..
Hay was accorded close attention
throughout his talk and made every
point so clear that he convinced more
than 80 per cent of those present that
it was the only logical method to
pIOCcSu "A WIlClcu NOIc ldICi
also showed that over 80 per cent of
the stock represented was in favor
of the change.
In order to set up this new cooper
ative corporation a special meeting
of the stockholders will be called for
that specific purpose, and the direc-
tors have decided to have that meet
ing on Monday evening, May 26, and
the secretary will send out official
notices to that effect ten days before
the meeting. 1t is hoped, by the Of
ficers, that every share of stock will
be represented at that meeting and
definite plans can then be laid for
proceeding. Acreage is now being
signed up for fall delivery, blanks for
this are available in the bank.

FORMER ASKOV
YOUTH is KILLED
Hans M0lby Loses Life at Bellingham
WASH, When His Auto Is
Hit by Train.

Hans Molby, Is years old and the
eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mol
by who moved to the west coast from
Askov in 1928, was killed by train
as he was driving in his automobile
in the city of Bellingham, Wash, on
May 3. Funeral was conducted there
on May 9Th.
Hans Thorstein Molby was born on
! June 80, 1912, at Cedar Falls, Iowa.
He came with his parents to Askov in
1916 where he attended public school
and was confirmed by the Rev. S. D..
Rodholm in the Danish Lutheran
church, in 1926. The family moved
to Bellingham. Wash, in 1928. The
sympathy of friends and relatives
here is extended to the bereaved fam
lily in their hour of great sorrow.
Aage NJ Molby, southwest of Askov,
is an uncle of the unfortunate youth.
Following is a report of the acct
dent in part as taken from the Bel
bingham Evening News:
Struck by speeding gas car of
the Northern Pacific railway at the
railway crossing on Dakin street as
he was crossing the street in an auto
mobile, Hans Molby, IS years of age,
residing at 1871 Silver Beach avenue,
was instantly killed at 1917 p. m.
today MAY 81. There were no other
passengers in the auto.
"The car, a light sedan, was drag
ged a distance of about 125 feet,
transformed into a twisted mass of
steel and wood by the terrific impact.
Young Molby was evidently fouled in
the wreckage, traces showing at the
scene of the accident where he had
been carried along the rails. The
body was badly mutilated, and per-
sons who reached the spot a few min
utes after the crash stated that the
head was almost completely severed
from the body.
1.-The victim was driving east on
| Dakin street on the way to Silver
Beach, and it is believed that as he
approached the slight upgrade west
of the crossing his view of the on
coming railway car was obstructed
by several old sheds on his right.
1.-The force of the collision was so
great as to damage the front part of
the rail car, which was covered with
shattered glass and debris. The pas
sengers, several of them unnerved by
the tragic accident, stated to report
ers that the coach was not travelling
at high rate of speed when the
crash occurred The engineer brought
the car to a stop in about three
lengths
THE boys father, Peter Molby, was
taken to the scene of the accident a
short time later, where, with the aid
of bystanders, he recovered cap and
other personal belongings of his son,
which were extracted from the wreck
age.
The youthful Molby has lived with
his parents in the city for the past
two years, and was a member of the
freshman class at Whatcom high
school, where he was active in school
activities.
HE was also member of Silver
Beach Troop 81, Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, and belonged to the Silver Beach
Community church.
Surviving him, besides his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Molby, are

two brothers, Richard and Thorvald
Molby, who reside at the family home.
According to the information they
have gathered on the tragic accident
from witnesses, the officials stated
that the car had slowed down at that
point and had given the proper sig
