written Expressly Tor International
News SerVice)
During the last few months
there has been a great deal Of talk
In the United States in regard to
D So-called "brain trust"
In some Of the talk, as well as
some of the written matter, there
have been statements that the
entire action of the President
and the Congress in regard to
legislation was dominated by the
''brain trusterS."
None of these statements came
as testimony before any COM
n1ittee of Congress until Mr..
James H. Rand, jr., read a pur-
ported letter from DR.. William
A. Writ, Of Gary, Ind, before
che Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce. Then I felt
that notice should be taken Of
the matter referred to by Mr..
Rand.
Demand for Names
Think that if anyone in the EN-
paoy Of the United States Gov
eminent is attempting to thwart
recovery and in so doing would
prolong starvation and cause fur
ther human misery, the names
should be known.
# anyone in the employ Of the
Government is diSloyal, then i'm
mediately his services should be
dispensed with.
It Is absurd to think that
anyone who knows President
Roosevelt should believe the in
&erenceS that he does not do
his own thinking.
Soap Boxing Barred
The committee has not been
appointed by the Speaker. I
understand that the Speaker
will appoint me chairman of the
committee. I believe the COM
tnittee will approve my idea in
regard to the conduct of the
investigation.
And that is, that this investi-
cation will not be a place where
those who believe in soap-box
oratory, or those who believe in
the most reactionary principles
Of government will have an op-
portunity to get out Of their
systems these various beliefs.

The State Senate and House of
Representative Monday afternoon
adopted a concurrent resolution TO
adjourn sine die at o'clock this
friday afternoon
This action was taken although all
relief funds now at the disposal of
the State Temporary Emergency
Relief Commission will have been
exhausted within a few days and
despite the fact that no relief pro-

nary necessities of life to keep them
from starvation.
This unexpected vote to adjourn
came with such startling sudden
ness that everyone at Dover who
has been watching developments in
connection with a relief program
were stunned. II is admitted it will
be practically impossible to enact
any such laws within the time that
remains for the continuance of the
session.
Night sessions during the balance
of the week have been proposed in
order to try to crowd through both

branches some kind of relief legis-
lation. Another suggestion is that
when the time for final adjournment
arrives today. the clocks in both
Senate and House be stopped to give
each branch additional time to pass
necessary measures to set up some
kind of a relief program, even if
such a suspended session should be
continued for several days.
But the fact that both Houses
have now adopted the resolution for
final adjournment places the mat
ter practically beyond their control
as it is said by legislative authori-
ties to be doubtful whether one or
the other OF them or both of them
can reconsider their vote on the
resolution and have it recalled.
