CONGRESS LEAVES
CLEAN CALENDARS
Only 10 Bills Undisposed Of
in Senate-Record Set
on Nominations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The special session OF Congress has
established many new legislative rec
ords, but probably none more note
worthy than the manner in which IL
cleaned It's calendars OF bills and nomi-
nations.
Never within the memory Of the old
est employees has the Senate left such .
clean calendar at the end Of a session.
As Congress adjourned. the Senate had
only 10 bills on its calendar awaiting
action. Usually there are scores or
hundreds.
The Senate made even a better rec
dreds Of them were submitted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt during the session and
all but one were confirmed.
That one-George F. Alexander to
be Federal judge in the first division Of
Alaska-was not reported by the Ju-
dietary Committee. and goes back to
the White House automatically
One OF the reasons for the few bills
left over was that the committees de-
voted almost all their time to the Pres
ident's legislative program, and acted
on comparatively few measures that he
did not recommend
Two Of the 10 bills approved by COM
mittees but not disposed Of by the SEN
ate were sought by the President-the
House resolution to allow him to de-
clare arms embargoes and the House
bill to permit appointment of q nom
resident as governor Of Hawaii.
Two of the others, by Senator John
son. Republican of California, would
prohibit financial transactions with for
eign governments in default to the
United States and set up foreign loan
board to supervise floatation of foreiRu
securities in the United States.

that he liked the ideas Of Senator
George Norris Of Nebraska for Govern
ment operation and ownership Of the
Alabama power site. He added to these
his own plans for the development of
the Tennessee Valley. The measure
created a Tennessee Valley Authority,
headed by Arthur E. Morgan, presi-
dent Of Antioch College, and contem-
plates the completion of Cove Greek
Dam on Clinch River at a cost Of

States in highway funds
One major step in the Roosevelt re-
habilitation strategy, the measure es-
tabliShlng Federal co-ordinator with
power to force railroad economies, went
through almost unnoticed in the furore
over imitation, banking and veterans.
This statute repealed the law for
Government collection Of excess profits
from the carriers. 1t placed railroad
holding companies under the jurisdic-
tion Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The co-ordinator, reported to
be Joseph Eastman Of the Commerce
Commission, will have authority to
force the elimination of unnecessary
passenger and freight train service.
Only last Saturday Mr.. Roosevelt
laid the first of his Government reor-
ganization orders before Congress. There
were quick and strong protests, but
the orders become effective within 60
days unless disapproved by both Houses
The legislators went home without any
serious attempts at a veto, although
there were attacks on several provisions

The Chief Executive estimated the re-
alignments would save about SIS, ,O00.-

Prohibition Bureau virtually disappears
and the Shipping Board is abolished.
Two proposals which had a measure
OF administration support failed
The House approved the bill to allow
the President to name a nonresident
Governor of Hawaii but 1t was caught
in the press of the last hours. The
White House made little determined ef-
fort to rescue it.
The Senate proved a bit stubborn
over the measure to give the Chief
Executive power to embargo arms ship
ments to belligerent nations. The House
passed that bill also, as it did the ST.
Lawrence Waterways resolutions to al
locate electric power to New York State.
That suggestion went to a committee
and was sleeping peacefully at adjourn
ment sine die.
Fulfills Platform Pledges.
The President repeated a section of
the Democratic platform almost word
for word in asking legalization Of beer.

taxing the Volstead laws was awaiting

essential industries.

The Little Horsemen

Probably the greatest hard
ship of the moratorium has been
felt by the horsemen, if not the
horses themselves, at New Or
leans and Aqua Caliente, where
the running was postponed from
last Monday through the holi-
day. The question of feed for
the animals over these idle days
must have had many of the
stable heads sorely pressed.
OF course the Treasury pro-
vided for the caShing of COM
mercial paper covering feed, but
some of the poorer stables
wouldn't know a check or bank
draft If it was sent to them in
the beak of a carrier pigeon,
direct from Heaven. Those four
and five.horse stables exist from
day to day on a strictly cash
basis and most of that cash is
derived from small bets laid
on one of their own horses. or a
hot tip from some other stable.

worked in Sundays contest at the
Biloxi stadium has not been Off
cially announced by Cronin, but
in all likelihood the rockies, Bob
CasSell ind Johnny Burrows, will
be given short shifts from the
old pitchers box.
The appearances of Friedrich,
Linke and -homaS will be watched
with interest by all the wiser
heads in camp as this trio have
shown the best work to date Of
the rookie hurlers in camp.
What yer they do in their tests
will also help Manager Cronin de-
eide which finger holds the best
chance of sticking with the Grlft-
men this year.
TomorroW's game will mark
Friedrich's second trial as a
starter in as many training sel-
sons. This lad was given a
thorough once-over by Walter
johnson this time last year, but
was found wanting because Of
Wildness. Having ironed out this
deficiency somewhat, Bob is hope
full of making a much better
showing than last spring.
Linke's First Test
It will be Linke's initial test
under fire with a big league team.
However, this 200-pounder has all
the earmarks of a real twirler
and will, no doubt, give a good
account of himself, once the um-
pire announces his entrance into
the game.
For Bud Thomas it will be
case of showing his bosses that
his good work late last summer
was not just flash in the pan.
This lad was only a sandlotter
when he was at camp in 1882,
but pitched sensational ball after
being sent to Youngstown, of the
Central League, early last May.
Manager Cronin hasn't decided
upon the batting order he'll use
in the two games, but no doubt
Sam Rice will hit in Heinie
Manush's regular position in the
order while Dave Harris will oc-
cupy Goose Goslin's place as
cleanup man. The rest of the
lineup will find Buddy Myer
leading off, Ossie Bluege second.
Cronin fifth, Schultz sixth, Kuhel
seventh and the catcher and
pitcher eighth and ninth.
The Washington times., 1933-03-10

Just when an6 where they will
be cast adrift is a topic of chief
concern among their cult at this
stage, all because Paul Lines
and Ellsworth Hazard were the
first to get the departure sign
yesterday.
Pitchers Bob Cassell and Johnny
Burrows are now treading on tip
toes for fear that any moment
they'll have President Clark Grit
fifth come to them and tell 'em
that their services are not needed
any more.
And it might be added that
the youngsters, Bob Friedrich
Eddie Linke and Bud Thomas
are not at all comfortable about
taking things too easily around
the hotel lobby any more, even
though they've shown up pretty
well in the drills to date.
No Further Reductions
Prexy Griff, however, does not
plan on further reducing his
squad for a while yet, especially
where the rookie pitchers are III.
volved, because he realizes that
Manager Joe Croni1 needs every
man at present to work the first
few exhibition games the team
has on schedule.
But the Slicing will come soon
after these contests as it's Griff's
idea to have Manager Cronin's S
entry just about set by the time
Washington is reached, April s.
for those exhibition tilts at Grit
fifth Stadium prior to the open
ing game of the season, April IL,
with the Philadelphia AS. And
"Set" the team will be.
Lines and Hazard were given
their outright releases yesterday
because they did not measure up
to the standard required of big
league pitchers.
Griff also had to tell 'em to
depart because he could not find
any "homes" for them in the
minor leagues. Both hurlers left
for their home towns shortly
after yesterdays practice. Lines
was from the University Of Idaho
while Hazard hailed from the
University Of Chicago.

to go. And unless Griff can find
Jobs for them in the minors, they
too will be given their transporta
ton home. Decision upon Fried
rich, Linke and Bud Thomas will
be held out for some time, says
Griff.

yesterday. He twirled about II
minutes to the batters in the

hand delivery he's been trying tC

pretty good. Bob, who has beer
