DELUGECERTA|N
IF ICE MELTS

How would you like to have
100000 square miles of ice be-
gin to melt and pour water all
over Washington, not to speak
of other towns near the sea-
shore?
This is a possibility, says DR..
W, J. Humphreys. of the United
States Weather Bureau. if the
ice caps of Greenland and Ant
arctica ever decide to thaW out.
1t has happened before, he says,
and may happen again.
The result would be enough
water added to the oceans to
raise their present levels by $50
feet. Which would make it nice
only for those Washingtonians
who managed to be the first at
the top of the Monument when
the deluge arrived.

STATUS CHANCE
WA|TSRUL|NG

Return of a majority, at least,
of the 5000 employees Of the
Office of National Parks, Build
ings and Reservations to the
permanent rolls, with consequent
resumption of Civil Service sta
tus and leave privileges, is ex'
pected shortly.
Secretary of the Interior Har'
old L, Ickes is considering an
economy report by Arno B. Cam
merer, director of the office,
which urges that the employees
be replaced on permanent pay
rolls. This report must be ap'
proved by Ickes and Budget Di'
rector Lewis w. Douglas before
it will become effective.
Douglas was dissatisfied be
cause only 81 employees were
ousted in a bureau reorganiza'
ton, it is said, and as a result
permanent status has been held
up since october l.
Cammerer did not say whether
his report suggests furloughs or
dismiSSalS of employees.

New Group Hopes to Make It.
self Felt First in Repeal
Election January !

Reform forces of Montgomery
county will band together in
third county political party in an
attempt to overthrow the present
administration, it was learned to-
day.
The proposed rarty found its
origin in Takoma Park, it was
disclosed, and its leaders have
been discussing plans for a cam
paign for several weeks.
Although a complete list of pro-
ronents of the proposed organiza-
ton was not available, it was dis
covered that many civic leaders
of Takoma Park are involved;
that the General Conference of
Seventh-Day Adventists will aid,
and that the embryonic party
feels certain of support from all
Montgomery county Woman's
Christian Temperance Unions and
the membership of various
churches throughout the county
The new group will fire its first
shot January /, when a refer
endum on repeal of Montgomery
county's prohibition laws is ex-
pected. It was at this time that
the group expected to identify it.
self as political party, it was
said.
It was learned that the north
ern and northeastern sections of
the county had been heavily
solicited for affiliates for the new
group. No name has yet been
selected by them.
According to the recent repeal
vote, the new group could expect
heavy backing from Damascus,
one of the two communities to
vote down repeal, and from Coles
vile, Kensington and Spencers-
vile.
In the State general election of
next year, it was learned, the new
party expects to place its men
and women in the field running
for office. Who these will be is,
as YET, matter for conjecture.

RENO ON FARM
AGITATION
Lauds Roosevelt, Raps Bank
ers, Says Congress Will Give
$1,70O,000 to Ickes

Speaking freely and praising
President Roosevelt'S reconStruc-
ton program, Speaker of the
House Henry T. Rainey of Illinois,
predicted that the members Of
Congress during the coming ses-
sion will continue their support
Of the Administration.
Representing a farming district
in the midwest, the Speaker said
that he believes the Congress
has gone as far as it can with
farm legislation" and added:
1--WE will just have to wait
now until the legislation we
have passed gets into full opera
ton"
RAPS MILO RENO
CharacteriZing Milo Reno, farm
strike leader, as an obstruction
ist," Speaker Rainey asserted that
when Reno called off the farm
strike he did nothing except call
off something which did not
exist" He said:
There is no farm strike. In
one or two cities we have had
attempts to stop the marketing
of milk, and in some small To-
calitieS there have been attempts
to effect farm strikers. But the
farmers are generally a Sane
body of men, and when tlS sit
uatiOn is explained to them they
are willing to use common sense
and realize that everything is
being done for them that can
be. They realize they can get
nowhere with violent methods"
Silver Legislation
Regarding the monetary ques-
ton, Rainey said there may be a
strong effort for congressional ac-
ton compelling initiation, but
added that by the time Congress
has chance to act on any such
proposal the Presidents gold
policy will be working and that
will obviate the necessity for the
action some want Congress to
take. However, he added:
II think we will get some
silver legislation, although 1
can't say now just what it will
be-"
