New York--According 10 Walter

mystery has developed In connec-

eral of the United States, urging
inquiry into the strange ''disap-
pearance' of these valuable docu-
ments.
Where the 20 affidavits are at

puzzling question that can only be
answered by Mr.. Keenan,. L. ;. Dis

him to take action or give out
some instruction and he denied
that he had even received any in

NEW YORK, June 6.--Directors of
the American Iron and Steel Institute
met today to discuss plans to avert a
threatened strike in the industry,
June 16
The sessions were executive and no
statement was forthcoming from the
directors as they entered their discus
sions in preparation for the arrival of
Hugh S. johnson and Donald Rich
berg.
1t was said the attitude of the in
duStry was unchanged from that out
lined in its statement issued Monday
on demands submitted by the Anal
gamated Association.
That statement minimized the pos
sibility Of strike and charged strike
threats were emanating from union
leaders who represent only a small
minority Of the workers"
The industry believes" the June
4 statement said, that a general
walkout Of employees from the mills
is not in prospect.
There is only one point at issue
the closed shop The great
majority of employees in the steel
works do not want to strike and the
companies will cooperate In every
way possible to enable them to re-
main at work"

Physician Attending 5 Sisters Seeks Incubator for

Amazed by Huge appetite.

Two uncles also were fathers of

DR.. Dafoe denied reports that
smoke from forest fires burning III
Northern Ontario had menaced the
9-day-old infants.
The physician is planning to OBJ
tain an incubator for each child.
I'VE think It would be good idea TO
have one apiece" he said. "If One
baby suffers from infection there is
danger of all suffering" Two incu-
bators are now in use.
The quintuplets are fed every two
hours with human milk supplied from
the Children's Hospital at Toronto.
AmaZement at their appetite was
expressed by DR.. William A. Dafce,
Toronto specialist, who is a demon
strator of obstetrics at the Univer-
sity of Toronto and brother of the
attending physician.
Pointing out that the tiny children
weigh only total of 10 pounds 2la

that is the wonder of it,

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
President Plays Safe in
Keeping His Program
Obscure.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The reason why the administra-
tion's plans for Congress have been
so much up in the air is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt purposely keeps them
that way.
1t CAUSES a lot Of grllnbling among
the somewhat bewildered Democratic
leaders and some talk that Mr.. Roose-
welt does not know what he wants.
The same thing happened last year
when he closed Congress up In sim
liar state of uncertainty.
But 1t worked out ratner well then,
from his standpoint, and II probably
will again.
II Mr.. Roosevelt came out open
lu 1rith fired program he Uould
play directly into the hands OF his
opposition. His opponents could
talk his plans to death. They could
fHbuster until his adjournment
date and be completely victorious.
There 1uould also be a hotUl about
dictatorship.
All that is apoided by the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt lets tew people
knou entirely tChdt he has in mind.
Those who are in the confidence OF
the President expect passage of the
Wagner Labor Board bill, home mort
gage financing, oil control. A. A. A.,
silver and the tariff. And adjourn
ment by June %.
Oil and A. A. A. May Go.
If any of that heavy cargo is jetti-
soned. it will be oil and A. A. A
There has recently been decision OF
Louisiana court reopening the oil
control case, so that measure may moi
be needed The A. A. A. amendments
are wanted, but the A. A. A. can get
along without them.

Senator Byrd was rather mild in his
criticism of the farm program, in a

Won't Help TugwelI.
That word has gone around the sem

The A. A. A. is trying to make q
uirtue out of the drought plague by
getting drouoht-stricken farmers
to sign up for the allotment plan
In that 1Ddy the farmers are paid
for reducing their production,
which has already been reduced by
an act OF nature.
What worries the A. A. A. master
minds is that the increase in prices
will eventually disorganize the pro-
