WASHINGTON, June 22.-"New

the nation to show the voters a
few brain trusters" in the flesh
and to put sectional emphasis on
what has been accomplished since
March 4, 1888.
DR.. Rexford Guy Tugwell, un-

against him, will tour the country
in his role of brain truster" No. /.

speech to explain to the horny
handed men of the grain and cattle
country how AAA, planned econ

them.
The northwest, Pacific Coast
states and finally Arizona will see
Tugwell in turn. The journey will
have some aspects of a personal
appearance tour of famous mov-
ing picture star. The farm belt
will discover in Tugwell a collegi-
ate type, handsomer than many
movie heroes.

sentiment of the directors was that
livestock and orchards were to be
given the preference.

GRAF 7
NOT HALTED
BY CONGRESS
Legislators Still Take Care Of
Their Families And Their Own
Finances.
By JOHN A. REICHMANN
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, June %. - The
73rd congress changes the economic
and political face of the United
States pretty completely during its
term of office but forgot one little
detail in reforming the world. It
forgot to reform itself.
A study of congressional preroga-
tives. after the haze of battle set
tied down, revealed today that live
congressman get just about as much
as they always did and have just
about as much fun doing it.
Dead congressman are different.
They still are restricted to four
colleagues at their funeral.
But those four who do attend
get the same old travel allowances
as when it was possible to list a
corkscrew among the expenses OF
lugubrious funeral party.
In other words, a congressman
travelling still draws Is cents per
mile in each direction when he
travels to and from his home or on
official business. 1t doesn't matter
whether he bundled the whole
family into the flivver and took
them with him or rode in a pri :
vate compartment on a special
train.
Also if he has established resi-
dence in Washington and chooses
to stay here, rather than return tc
, the old fireside, he still gets his
travel allowance. Not many OF
them do this. because Washingtop's
summer heat is terrific and almost
any other cline is big relief.
Reform Bills Killed
In other respects, however, COLI
gress maintained the even tenor OF
its ways. The wife and kiddies,
the cousins, nephews and nieces
are still on government payroll. In
some instances the number has
grown.
When Sen. George w. Norris,
(Rep) Nebraska, got the senate 10
adopt a resolution removing parti-
san politics from appointments to
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton, the amendment was wiped out
in the house.
When Sen. Hugo L. Black, Dem0
Alabama, ordered Capt. R. Stanley
Dollar of the Dollar Steamship
Lines to produce a list of office
holders including congressman, who
enjoyed free transportation on the
Dollar lines, Dollar sent the ocear.
and air mail committee a list. But
it was never published in the rec
ord of hearings.
Even a shorter life was accorded
the proposal that wives of mem
bers should no longer be allowed
free flowers from the botanical
gardens back of the capitol. For
years congressman and their wives
have had this privilege.

INVESTIGATOR

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. W.P)
Clyde E. Shoemaker was named
today by Attorney General U. S.
webb as special counsel to assist
the Los Angeles county grand jury
to investigate the affairs of the
California Reserve company.
Shoemaker was a member of the
committee which two years ago
handled for the bar association the
recall movement against three su-
perior court judges.
He was appointed from list of
five attcJneys presented by the
bar association at the request OF
the grand jury because George
Gregory, brother-in-law of District
Attorney Buron Fits, headed the
defunct corporation, fact which
the grand jury deemed sufficient to
disqualify Fits from handling the
investigation.

SAN FRANCISCO. June %. U.P)
Striking longshoremen of San
Francisco today telegraphed to
Frances Perkins, secretary of labor,
the conditions under which they
will return to work.
The telegram was in response to
a request by Madame Perkins that
the federal government start new
arbitration of the coastwide mari
time strike.
Aside from its preamble, the tel
egram merely reiterated counter
proposals for settlement submitted
TO Mayor Angelo Rossi yesterday.
The preamble declared that "re-
ports by shipowners that the long
shoremen insist on their original
demands are absolutely false.
1.-The longshoremen," the mes
sage said, "have conceded many
points, including hours and wages.
but the shipowners have not con-
ceded one single point and are pro-

controlling hiring halls, where ac-

be blacklisted
SAN FRANCISCO, June %. U.p
Striking Pacific coast maritime
workers, held back by police clubs
from interfering with strike -break-
ers, retaliated today by calling all
union workers off Alaska bound
ships.
While government and private
agencies groped futiiely for a for
mula to end the shipping strike, the
unions delivered their ultimatum
against attempts to move cargoes
under arms, plan attempted by
Seattle and Portland civic authori-
ties.
The ultimatun was served in Sc
attle where armed guards provided
by Mayor Charles Smith protected
strikebreakers unloading cargo from
the motorship Modevia.
The longshoremen, sailors and
other strikers announced that un-
less the police are withdrawn they
would not load or work vessels
bound for Alaska. Their decision
terminated the only peace pact ne
gotiated since the shipping tieup
started 46 days ago. Alaska ship

Withdrawal of ROLAND Vandegrift,
finance director, from the lieuten-
ant governorship race, and qualifi-
cation of Raymond L. Haight on the
Republican, Progressive and Com
monwealth tickets featured politi-
cal developments here today.
Although Vandegrift had not an
nounced his candidacy he was de-
termined to enter the race several
weeks ago. He gave no reason for
withdrawing, other than indicating
he thought the political situation
was entirely too unsettled.
Politicians continued to wonder
whether he would be retained as
finance director under Gov. Frank
F. Merriam.
Haight's registration with the
Commonwealth party, and his de-
claration of candidacy for governor
on three tickets, was devised as a
squeeze play" to land him on the
general election ballot. He was ex-
pected to be the only Common
wealth candidate and thus would
be assured of winning the riC7-Ana-
ton OF that party and going into the
final election as gubernatoriel
candidate.
His supporters believe Merriam
may win the Republican nomina-
ton and Upton SinclaZ the Demo-
cratic.
THE people won't vote for a re-
dictionary or a radical. so they will
turn to Haight in the November
election" they reason.

A SECOND BOND ELECTION.

To technically comply with the terms of the public improvements bonding bill recently enacted by Congress and approved by the President, the municipal administration has called special election to be held here on May p. At that the voters, comprised of those persons whose names appeared in last years tax assessment lists will express them selves on whether they desire the bonds to be issued
 The call for election sets up the improvements proposed to be with the proceeds of the issue Not in excess of s51 400 for regrading and paving streets and sidewalks. To install and water pipes not more than s275O will be required. For a new bridge Gold Creek to replace the present Calhoun Avenue structure. which is almost ready for condemnation, s5O00 is set up For concrete bukheads on Gastineau Avenue and Calhoun Avenue the sum of s12850 is set up Twenty-Five thousand dollars is allotted for refuse incinerator, probably Juneaus most pressing immediate need. For en- gineering supervision and other administrative over head the sum of s60OO or as much of it is needed is provided This is not excessive sum for engineering and administrative costs.
 A low rate of interest, 30 years for redemption and a grant from the Public Works Administration of thirty per cent of the provided by the city make the proposition attractive that no one should hesitate to approve of it. This seems to have been generally realized by the taxpayers in the recent municipal election. At that time voting on the same question than 80 per cent favored the floating of the securities. Morally that vote is sufficient to justify the City Council in going ahead and offering the bonds for sale However, the authorization not formally enacted into law until after the election had been held Therefore in order that there be possible question about the legality of the issue the City Council has felt it advisable to follow the terms of the law exactly and hold a special election. The majority should be heavy in it it in the election held on April B.
