ACTION
ON 8 BILLS
IS VITAL
Silver, Housing and Wagner
Measures to Delay Recess
Two Weeks or More
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

International News Service
Any hope of Congress adjourn
ing this weekend was dissipated
today at a White House confer
ence between President Roosevelt
and Democratic leaders.
The President informed Ma
jority Leaders Robinson and
Byrns and Speaker Rainey that
he wants a number of measures
passed before adjournment,
among them the silver bill, the
Federal housing bill, and the
Wagner bill to set up machinery
to settle labor disputes.
These are somewhat contro-
versial measures and it will take
time to enact them.
Date Uncertain
Senator Robinson said upon
leaving the White House that
Congress would remain in session
at least another 10 days. But he
also said it was impossible" to
fix adjournment date at this time,
which indicates a relief that Con-
greSs will be here longer than
the 10 days.
This indication was further
borne out when Senator Robinson,
after spending nearly an hour
with the President, returned to
Capitol Hill with this announce.
ment;
There Is no chance for Con-
gfess u u adjOurn before two
weeks.
"The pending amendment to
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad.
ministratiOn act and the regu-
lation legislation may have to
go over, 1t will probable be a
day or two before we can de.
termine just what measures will
be taken up before adjourn
ment."
Drought Relief Seen
He added that legislation for the
relief of Northwestern drought
sufferers probably would be enact
ed. The President, he said, may
send a message to Congress con-
corning such legislation.
The Democratic leader an
nounced at the same time that he
planned to ask confirmation Of
the recent nomination of Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture Rex
ford Tugwell to the position Of
Undersecretary of Agriculture.
Speaker Rainey predicted that
adjournment would come some
time next week, and Representa-
tive Bryns announced he did not
expect the session to wind up as
early as the coming Saturday.
Representative Bryns, like Sena-
tor Robinson, said Congress would
make every effort to wind up its

LIEN On BANK

By International News Service
The Supreme Court today held
that a surety company which
gave bond to protect a public
deposit in a bank now closed is
entitled to a lien on assets OF
national banks in Georgia instead
Of taking the position of a gen.
eral creditor.
John C. Lewis, receiver of the
Hancock National Bank of
Sparta, Ca, lost the appeal

Company of Maryland. which
sought to enforce a lien for
$6,206.

liSh its lien.

Deception Of Constituents to
Bring Sorrow, Says
Representative
By ROGER HAWTHORNE
Democrats who voted last week

BY ROGEh HAW AuON1NE
Democrats who voted last week
for the drastic House gag-rule
despite previous support of the
Mcleod bank relief bill were
guilty Of grossest miSrepresenta-
ton and trickery.
This was the charge hurled in
to Democratic ranks today by
Representative Harold McGugin
(R.) OF Kansas in scathing de-
nunciation of last-minute deser-
ton of the Mcleod bill by sharp
practicing" Democrats. He said:
Predicts Awakening
"The greatest existing
menace to representative Gov
eminent in the United States
is the political sharp practice
by members of Congress upon
their own constituents.
"The outstanding political
trickery this session has been
that practiced by Democrats
on the Mcleod bank payOff
and the Frazier-Lemke farm
mortgage bills.
"All but five Of the Demo
Gratis who previously signed
petitions calling for q vote on
those bills voted last week to
adOpte the gag-ruleS which now
make it impossible to secure
those votes. That is practicing
political trickery and deceit
upon their constituents.
'But the people of this cOun-
try are not so dumb as some
politicians may think"
The Congressman concluded
with the prediction the renegades
would some day rue their support
OF the gag rule.

time is expected back today from
New York City where he planned
to investigate reports of certain
activities of the Chase National
Bank.
That institution, he had been
informed, has been making large
purchases of assets forced on the
market by receivers of closed
banks.
This is the practice Represen-
tative Clarence j. Mcleod (R.) Of
Michigan, author of the bank pay
off bill, has so consistently as
sailed in committee meetings and
on the floor as one of the greatest
evils of the present banking stu
alton.
Forced liquidation of closed
banks has given rise to form
of receivership racketeering, Mr..

the life blood of many closed
banks which otherwise would be
able to reopen.

CALL ON BRAINS
FOR SUPPORT
-
3Regimented' Propaganda l.
Modern Idea.
Established Order Bolstered
by Intellectuals.

No conscientious student of let
ters has been inclined to take too
seriously the alarm that has been
felt over the future of literature in
Russia's proletarian state. After all,
1t was only a natural part Of the rev.
olution that the intelleetuals should
have been 'regimented' for propa-
ganda purposes.
history shows that II Is the part
of the intellectuals during stability
to support the established order and
when that order becomes insupport-
able to express, In varying ways. the
intellectual ferment that precedes all
fundamental shifts In political pow
er. Thus the writer's In Russia long
ago became revolutionary propagan-
dists. And when the revolution came
they extolled the new regime more
b~latantly, but not less effectively,
than the. writer's In a capitalistic
state bend their art toward support
of the homely virtues whence cap
italism draws Its strength.
Writers know this. Somerset
Vaughan, In the preface to East
and West" takes pains to inform his
readers that the editor of the maya
zine where his stories mostly APP
peared never told him what TO write
or what not to write. II 1t were
not at least suspected that writer's
are "regimented' under whatever
political system. such declarations
of independence would be superfiu-
GUS. But there are degrees of regi-
m~entation, as of everything else.
During a revolution the subtle con-
cealment of propaganda under q
layer of art disappears and the
skilled writer becomes as unscrupu-
lous as any hack publicity agent.
That Is what happened in Russia,
when, In the phrase OF Max East
man, the artists were put In uniform.
The Russian revolution Is now an
accomplished fact. The need for OBJ
vious propaganda lessons. The die
hards may still believe that there Is
an unlimited distinction between true
proletarian writer's and bourgeois In
%tellectuals. But Karl Radek, one Of
Communism's most powerful think
ers, realizes that undilnted propa-
ganda may eventually defeat Its own
ends. AT a congress of all-Soyiet
writer's In Moscow, Radek said that
the bars must be let down and that
the old theory of 'he who is not
with us Is against us" would no
longer rule In the arts.
And so 1t may soon be that the
writer's of Russia will lay aside their
uniforms and the Russian artists in
mufti will find e means for express
sion. Out of the chaos Of revolution
may appear the needed security
which Is the basis Of all art. AT the
same time 1t may be we'll to specu-
late on the theory that the reason
why literature has so Jagged In the
300 years of America Is because OF
its Recommendation under such BAN
ners as Puritanism and Materialism.
The growing determination of our
writer's to work under different
standards and to talk openly OF the
place of propaganda In art Is as sig
nifcant as Radek's movement In the
opposite Observation-Disclosures Post.
