JUNE Is FINS,
PROGRAM ON
CAPITOL HILL
Despite Record Set So Far,
Rush Is Needed to Perfect
"Prosperity" Plans

A high speed legislative drive
was asked of Congress today by
President Roosevelt in his hope
to procure authority for a Federal
reorganization of industry, a
public works program, banking
reforms, and railroad relief with
in the next month.
Adjournment of the special ses-
sion by June Is was held out as
a lure to House and Senate.
The President, however, was de.
termined to complete his legisla-
tive program before dismissing
Congress.
In a little more than nine
weeks. the new Congress has
scored a legislative record. 1t
first enacted the emergency bank
ing relief bill, the Federal econo-
my act, and the 80 beer bill.
Then it authorized relief for
States and a job-producing re-
torestation program.
Big Measures Due
In other squirt, it enacted the
huge farm relief -mortgage-infla-
ton bill and the $5OO,0OO, 900 un-
employment relief fund for aid
ing States in caring for the job
less.
Three more great relief meas
ures will be enacted this week.
They are the Norris bill for Gov
rnment operation of Muscle
Shoals, the new national "blue
sky" bill to protect the investing
public, and the Administrations
oudget-balancing tax bill, with a
Sl68 ,OOO,O 900 levy on gasoline and
electrical energy.
The banking reform bill was
pending in the Senate and be-
fore a House committee. The
railroad reorganization act was
before committees at both ends
of the Capitol. The industrial
control act. with the public works
program, lay on the Presidents
desk. He probably will send it
to Congress by tomorrow.
Bills in Committee.
Three other bills on the Presi-
dents program rested in COM
mittees. The home loan bank
bill, providing mortgage relief
for small home owners, was pend
ing before committees. The bill
providing relief for insurance
companies rested in a House COM
mittee after passing the Senate.
So did the Black 30-hour bill.
which may be incorporated in
the business control act.
Two Administration treaties
probably will be abandoned if
Congress quits by June IS. These
were the arms embargo and the st.
Lawrence waterway treaty Both
have been pending in the Senate
for months and have developed
stiff opposition.
Another subject of controversy
will be the Administrations plan
to ask power for the President
to revise tariff rates.

Science

The brain of Okero, baby
gorilla which died last year at
the washington Zoo, heaviest of
any apes brain on record, sheds
new light on the evolution of
animal brains.
Results of a study on Okero's
brain, announced yesterday by the
Smithsonian Institution, reveal
the mountain gorilla as the
highest animal type, next to homo
sapiens.
DR.. C. J. Connolly, of Catholic
University, who made the study,
said the baby gorilla's cerebrum,
in which are located the essential
mechanisms of speech and think
ing. was full of convolutionS or
wrinkles"
Okeros brain weighed more
than a pound, although the
animal itself weighed but 40
pounds. When reaching maturity
this gorilla's brain would weigh
600 grams. while the lightest
normal human brain weighs 1,10O
grams,

U. S. Savings to Act
Favorable decision to join the

Favorable action is also expected

Treasury officials stated today
that the reason most of the local

DUFRESNE LEAVES TO
 AID IN MOOSE STUDY

To assist Special Warden Henry Lucas of Seward to complete a study of breeding and feeding con ditions affecting the great moose herd on Kenai Peninsula, Warden Frank Dufresne left today on the steamer Aleution for Seward. He will be absent about 30 days.
 The expenses for the survey are being defrayed by contributions from New York sportsmen and game conservationists who have taken a deep interest in Alaskan game. It was started last year and much valuable data was as- sembled last Summer by MT. Lucas.
 The Alaska Game Commission for several years has been puzzled over the disappearance of moose calves from the breeding and early feeding ranges on Kenai Penin- sula. It was to determine the causes of this that the study is being made
