 amount claimed as the value of the car before the accident. Judge P. B. O'Sullivan, who pre- sided, charged tho jury that the plaintiffs damage was the value of the car and the defendant ap- pealed from this portion of the charge, claiming the plaintiff's

WORK SPEEDED
IN LAST MONTH
OF CONGRESS-
Quick Steps Needed to
Save Many Measures;
Rallies Begin.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer.


WASHINGTON. April Gloon
greSs has begun its annual attempt
to crowd the work Of several years
into one final month.
With Adjournment just ahead,
with leaders making up carefully
limited programs for the rest of the
session, and with elections in the
offing. members have started
dozen desperate rallies in behalf of
measures doomed to die unless quick
steps are taken to save them.
The fact that no lame duck ses-
sion takes place after this years
elections makes it more important
than ever before for members to
polish up the records with which
they expect to go before the cleo
torate. Promises of achievements to
come in the short session no longer
have any potency at the polls.
Social Measures Listed
Important social measures are
among those of the doubtful list for
which support of leaders and of the
administration will be asked.
The unemployment insurance bill.
already Endorsed in principle by the
President and Secretary OF Labor
Frances Perkins. has the best chance
OF White House backing. although
it is not yet on the calendar made
up by administration leaders. A
decision may be forthcoming today.
Since the plan of relief it provides
calls for action on the part of state
legislatures before becoming effec-
tive, its hackers are insistent on
vote at this congress. Nearly all the
legislatures meet next year and then
are in recess until 1887. The house
ways and means committee. first
hurdle to be taken since the bill
levies tax will not act without
word from the President in spite of
a report from its subcommittee.
The Indian rights bill contain
ing one Of the administration most
elaborate reform programs. now has
chance of consideration for the
first time since its presentation.
After months of delay and consid-
cradle prodding the senate and
house Indian affairs committees
have consented to hold hearings
this week
Indians Vote Approval
Ninety-six thousand Indians, in
thirty-six tribes, have voted APP
prevail of the measure, designed
to prevent any further sale of
allotted Indian lands to white men
and to permit Indians to govern
themselves hereafter. Without such
a program Indian Commissioner
John r. Collier believes American
tribes will soon be landleSs and will
disappear from this country
The measure is certain to be a
campaign issue in western states.
Cattlemen, real estate men, attor-
neys who live by prosecuting Indian
land claims, and other interests are
fighting it. Secretary Harold L.
Ickes recently struck few blows in
its behalf.

Mobilization of all advertising
talent to bring America out of the
