News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Congress Outs. Having Done Most Things the President
Asked-Steel Strike Postponed Roosevelt's Daughter
in Nevada, Presumably for Divorce.
By EDWARD ". PICKARD


a FTER several days Of hectic work.
"A pushing through the last measures
labeled "must" by the administration
and host Of other bills demanded
by various members. the Seyenty-thlrd
congress closed Its second session.
The measures passed during this SEES
sion include some Of the basic laws
of the New Deal and considerable
elaboration and modification Of laws
passed last year in addition to the
regular appropriation bills and nor
NAL amount of necessary routine legis-
lation.
As in the first session, President
Roosevelt was in full control, though
the legislators displayed a more crit
ical attitude and a tendency to give
proposed legislation closer scrutiny
before giving it their approval. This
could not be attributed to lessening
of the Presidents influence or of the
confidence In him, but rather to the
fact that the members OF congress
didn't wish longer to be labeled as
yes men, On the whole Mr.. Roose-
welt succeeded in getting what he
asked and In preventing what he did
not want.
Several measures that had the back
ing of the administration failed of
passage. These included the oil bill.
ardently desired by Secretary Ickes;
the pure food and drug bill, which
never came to a vote; the ratification
Of the st. Lawrence waterway treaty;
and a series of amendments ampli-
flying and clarifying the powers of
the AAA.
In its closing hours the congress
spent money like water. INDUCING in
what Congressman Britten Of Chicago
called ian orgy of spending such as
never has been known in the history
of the world during peace times" The
last of the major bills disposed of
were:
The deficiency appropriation BILL
allotting the President more than two
billion three hundred million dollars
for relief and other emergency pur-
poses.
The one billion dollar housing bill
to promote the revival of the building
trades and of the durable goods in
dustries.
The Frazier bill for relief Of farm
mortgagors.
The bill amending banking legisla-
ton. o
The railway labor bill.

ZEKE'S BEER
GARDEN
g
By R. K. WILKINSON
@. Bell syndicate.-wNU Service.

HAVE known Zeke Taylor for
score Of years.
i He is an old man now, one of
Dexter's oldest inhabitants.
He should, at his age, be retired
from active business, should be spend
ing declining years as most old men Of
Dexter spend them-spinning yarns
with Elmer Stone and Sam Cook on
the veranda of the Suncook hotel, or
seated comfortably before the open
fire Of his own home with glowing pipe
and pleasant dreams.
That's how it should be, for 1t is
these simple things from which Dex-
ter folk derive their greatest pleasure.
But zeke cannot retire and live on
his savings, for no savings have been
set aside for this purpose.
Some say he lacked in thrift and
foresight during the days when his
little grocery store, with its lunch
counter stretched across one side of 1t,
knew lively business.
Some say he was shiftless and lazy.
But those of US who have been close
1y associated with Zeke know that
none of these accusations are founded
on truth or fact.
zeke might not have been attentive
to business, but he was never shiftless
or lazy.
His life has been one filed with
little deeds of kindness.
And from them he derived his keen
est enjoyment.
Zeke Taylor has been friend to every
man who crossed his path.
Quite forgetful of his own future,
he has helped this one in distress,
counseled that one in matters of grave
Importance, lent moral and financial
support to countless charitable move
ments and unselfshly denied himself
when some stricken brother was sore
1y In need Of aid.
The little things of life have meant
much to Zeke, and others have bene-
hted by this popularity of his makeup.
But now that zeke is aged, these
things are forgotten.
Folks are wondering what will be-
come of the old man, fearful that
sooner or later he will be ION the
town"
And because of their forgetfulness
they are hard and condemning.
Not long ago dropped into Zeke's
store for a chat, and found him sunk
into the depths OF gloom.
He was, he told me, contemplating
bankruptcy.
His creditors were pressing.
Business was going across the street
to the new modern lunch room, re-
Gently opened
The old man was sorely hurt, In
wardly wlnclng at thoughts of failure
and being on the town.
His pride was hurt. though his
words held no note Of bitterness or
complaint.

AL grievances or complaints would

If acceptable to labor, capital, and
the federal government, the strike
would be called off permanently.
Leaders of the rank and file"
steel workers, including Earl ].
Forbeck and other chiefs of local
unions, were especially bitter in their
attitude toward General Johnson, and
were still eager for strike. but they
were outnumbered and the Green plan
was adopted as basis for further ne
gotiations. The union leaders went to
Washington for a final decision. They
carried authority to call the strike
II the peace plan were rejected by the
government or the steel operators.
IN A formal letter. accompanied By
long explanation, the code au-
thority Of the cleaners and dyers has
notified the President that 1t has with
drawn its consent to the code. The
reason assigned for this action is that
Administrator Johnson, acting by au-
thority of the President, suspended the
minimum price and other fair trade
practice provisions of the code while
leaving In effect all other provisions,
including those establishing minimum
wages and maximum hours of labor.
The cleaners and dyers say that
with operating costs greatly increased
by the labor provisions 1t is impossible
to make a profit unless minimum
price is established and enforced.
In its appended explanation the code
authority challenged the validity of
this action by General Johnson, con-
tinuing:
1--WE cannot believe that you would
knowingly countenance reckless dis
regard OF repeated promises and assur-
ances given to authorized representa-
tives of the trade by the administrator
personally within two weeks of the
date on which he played a major role
in their BREACH
The code was consented to, says the
memorandum, ION the express under
standing" that the minimum price
and other trade practice provisions
"were absolutely necessary u mem
bers of the trade were to comply with

Count Rudolf Nadolny announced his
resignation as German ambassador to
Russia. This was the first detection
from Nazi government ranks since DR..
Alfred Hugenberg resigned as minister
OF agriculture and economics In June,
1893. NadOlny's resignation is attrib-
