FEDERAL FARM
BOARD PROBE
STARTS SOON
Revelations Are Expected to
Furnish Material for
Political Campaign

Congress had scattered far
and wide today but a handful
of members remained to carry
on the dozen Investigations of
wide variety ordered by the
session.
With all of the House members
and a third of the Senate bat
tling for their own political fu.
ture, politics became the chief
occupation of the Congress until
November.
Revelations of some of the in
quirieS, however, may play an inn
portant role in the campaign.
They will also lay the basis for
legislative activity of vast i'm
portance next December.
Investigations of the Federal
Farm Board and the st. Law.
renee waterways treaty, ordered
by the Senate, are expected by
both Republicans and Democrats
to furnisl. material for the cam
paign.
Senator McNary (RO of Ore.
gon, chairman of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee, planned an i'm.
mediate start on the sweeping in
curry into the Federal Farm
Board.
The st. Lawrence treaty investi.
cation, to be handled by Senator
Borah (R.) of Idaho, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
may accentuate the power issue
in the campaign between Mr..
Hoover and Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
H. The stock exchange investiga.
ton of the Senate will be con-
Quoted by experts, with the prob
ability that few open hearings
will be held before fall.
The Senate inquiries include
the Howell campaign funds
probe, the Couzens' Committee in
quiry into loans of the Recon
Struction Finance Corporation,
and special survey of cost of the
Government by its Economy Com
mittee.
Probe Postal Leases
Experts of the House Inter
state Commerce Committee are
inquiring into holding company
activities, the House Postoffice
Committee is looking into postal
leases and public building con-
tracts, and the Shannon Com.
mittee is investigating competi-
ton with private industry by the
Government.
A special economy committee
also was created by the House
to seek means of further reduc.
ing Government expenditures.
while a joint committee is to re.
view laws passed for the benefit
OF war veterans with a few of
equalizing benefits.
The intricate question of in.

D. c. EMPLOYEES
RATE LEAVE
NEXT MAY
Either They'll Wait Till Then
Or Pay for Time
They Take Off

It just looks as if the only
way for District employees to
take a full month s vacation
is to wait until sometime next
May-that is, unless they feel
inclined to be docked twice
for it.
According to the latest of many
leave edicts, employees with any
inclination to take leave in ex-
cess of one and a fourth day
out of every two weeks will either
take it with an additional re-
duction in salary-or wait until
it accumulates.
Under the provisions of admin
istration of the payless furlough,
employees must wait until all of
the "a days of heir furlough
accumulateS before they may take
it with impunity.
If they wait until it all ac-
cumulateS at the rate of two
ard one-half days a month it
will be some time in May be-
tore they can use it.

Device Will Measure
Shaking of Ground
In Earthquake

Director r. S. Patton of the
United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey announces the
application of a new principle
permitting architects and
engineers who. design buildings
for earthquake regions to find
out exactly the extent of
ground movement during a
quake, so they can plan accord
ingly.
An accelerometer, to measure
acceleration of the templors.
was developed by DR.. Frank S.
Wenner, of the United States
Bureau of Standards; an auto
matte starting device which
needs only a slight ground
tremble to make it operate, was
designed by M. w. Braunlich,
of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, and the dis
placement meter, showing the
extent of vibration, was in
vented by Arthur j. Weed, of
the University of Virginia.

35 D. C. Measures
Passed by Congress

A check-up today by members
of the Senate District Committee
disclosed that during the past
session of Congress 35 bills and
resolutions affecting the city have
gone through both houses and
been approved.
This was believed to have
established a record.
Bills held over until the De-
cember session were among the
more important measures on the
Senate calendar. The leftover
bills included:
The street car merger,
adopted by the House but tenn
porarily killed in the Senate in
the last two days of the session.
The four Mapes taxation
bills, also approved by the
House but sleeping today in
Senate committees.
Bills and resolutions adopted
included creation Of a board of
parole; the BuzZards Point de-
velopment project; permission to
allow District tax assessors to
testify in court in condemnation
proceedings; the Capper credit
unions bill; the Capper bill to
regulate the sale and possession
of firearms and dangerous
weapons; the Capper bill author
izi11g Gallinger Hospital to accept
pay patients: the Gibson license
bill, increasing practically all
license fees in the District and
amending a law declared to be
out of date; and Senator Cap
per's bill requiring insurance COM
panies of the District to keep
their records here.
In addition to these so-called
major measures there were passed
numerous minor measures relat-
ing to street closing, regulation
of insurance companies, widening
avenues, and closing alleys.

RAIL
AND FARM AID
ISSUES OPEN
Dissension Prevented LegiSIa-
ton Which Will Come Up
Again in December

The seven and a half months
session of Congress which
ended Saturday night left
many important problems Of
legislation hanging fire for
consideration in December.
Although leaders on both sides
pointed to the far-reaching effect
of measures enacted. the legisla-
ton of the session was confined
largely to strengthening the ma
tion's financial and credit struc.
ture to Withstand the strain Of
present conditions.
Comparatively little progress
was made in solving the railroad,
bus, banking, power. and agri-
cultural problems which we're
prominently discussed.
Bank Bills Die
Permanent banking legislation,
urged by the Treasury and Fed
eral Reserve Board, fell by the
waySide in the fight between the
Steagall deposits guaranty and
the Glass branch banking r2eas-
ures.
Complete revision of the rail-
road rate-making power Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and repeal of the recapture
clause, which placed a tentative
liability of $360,OOO,OOO on the
railroads. was recommended by
the E>rse Interstate Commerce
Committee. Fear of political con-
sequences, however, prevented
action.
Agriculture Untouched
The past session for the first
time in years failed to pass q
bill designed to relieve agricul-
ture.
Prohib- ion, another question
left unSolved, will be with Con-
gress when it meets again.
