House Instead OF curtail-
ing milk production, Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace has de-
terniined to boost its consump-
ton. A great educational cam
paign Is to be started to provide
more milk for more babies -.
A government survey showed
entire blocks in New York, Chi.
cago, other cities, where not q
milk bottle was delivered. Mean
while the AAA was curtailing
production This democra-
tic administration is worried
over the fact that the democratic
organization in New Mexico may
cut into the vote Of Senator
Bronson Cutting. Nominally
republican, Cutting went to bat
for Roosevelt, swung the state
for him. Now new republican
organization Under Ruth Hanna
Mccormick Simms, and a re-
vitaifzed democratic outfit have
left Bronson sitting in the middle
Roosevelt plans to remedy
this.
NEW CODE
Anti-power forces have won
their fight against the NRA code
proposed by the utilities
After months of bitter behind
the-scenes warning, the code has
been stripped Of the violently
assailed provision that would
have put publicly-owned plants
under the jurisdiction Of a code
authority dominated by the utili-
ties The new code has az
yet not been officially promul-
gated, but will be soon Miss
Frances (Robby) Robinson,
Woodworking secretary to Gen
eral Hugh Johnson, is one Of
the best-dressed women in Wash
ington :. Slender and girlish,
Robby is easy to fit, is not partial
to any particular color. They
range from bright reds to severe
blacks The House Writ
investigation committee spent a
total of $96.40 on its show, most
of the money going as expenses
to the Gary Red-snooper
The election of Gerald p. Nye,
as chairman Of the senate arms
and munitions investigating
committee, was q genuine tribute
to the young North Dakota Pro-
gressive- Ira
dition rules that the chairman
of investigating committees goes
to a member of the party in
power. But because of his ex-
perience as a senate investiga-
tor, the democrats on the COM
mittee stepped aside and asked
Nye to take charge.
