SOLONS HOLD UP
WELLN RECENT
CONGRESS GRIND
PHYSICAL CASUALTIES COM.
PARATIvELY LIGHT WHEN
LONG AND HARD STRAIN
is CONSIDERED
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
uIy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. June a.
Physical casualties in the present
congress thus far have been COM
paratively light when it is con-
sidered what a terrific grind sena-
tors and representatives were
subjected to during the three
month session just closed.
Three senator's were forced to
place themselves under the care
Of physicians suffering from all
ments directly or indirectly trace
able to the rigorous special SEES
sion. They were George of
Georgia, Lewis of Illinois and
Borah of Idaho.
House members also have felt
the effects.
The changes in the membership
of the seventy-third congress
since the election of November 8
last year have been few. And in
each instance they have been just
individual stories. No particular
party issue or plan was seriously
affected.
The Shifting Lineup
Two of the four changes in the
senate were due to registrations.
Cordell Hull of Tennessee gave up
his seat to become dean of the
Roosevelt cabinet with the port
folio of secretary of state. Claude
A. Swanson of Virginia resigned
to become secretary of the navy.
Senators Walsh of Montana and
Howell of Nebraska died.
OF the five house deaths, two
Kemp of Louisiana and Almon of
Alabama-occurred since the SEES
sion closed. In addition to the
membership changes thus wrought,
Jack Garner of Texas resigned to-
assume the vice presidency and
Lewis Douglas of Arizona quit to
become director of the. budget.
The present congress, despite
the fact that the, special session
was one of the most difficult of
any held in recent years, has
long while yet to run. The reg
ular session of the seventy-third
Is not scheduled until January 8.
The last congress--the seventy
second-saw 33 changes in mem
bership from election time to
final, adjournment. Twenty-nineI
Of these changes were caused by
death.
Keeping Tab

are always a matter of concern
on capitol hill. The house en-I

things a bit easier for his charges.

amount of time to shoot as he did last
year-two months-will have to con-
tent himself with smaller bags, partic-
ularly of the better ducks, the canvas
back, redheads and teal.
The new regulations also bar the
shooting, anywhere on the Atlantic
Coast, of brant, or black geese" This
will be no great hardship on the duck
hunters who confine their shooting to
nearby waters and marshes, but those
who might have been planning trip
to the greatest brant shooting waters on
the coastal Ocracoke Island, N. c.
