AT RIGHT is an example
of British experimentation
with streamlining in rail-

trolley car capable of 10
miles an hour and designed
for interurban service. Com
pared with it is an old-style
British steam locomotive.

A prominent Washington so

cigarettes today-but is her face
red?
Yesterday there was a recep-
tion at the Russian Embassy,
and the woman in question was
an invited guest.
In addition to caviar and a
grand champagne punch, there
were boxes and boxes of gold
tipped Russian cigarettes.
Apparently the woman has a
fondness for the Russian Gig

HOUSE LEADERS
WAR AGAINST
'P|NKSL|PS'
Ways and Means Group Drafts
Bill to Repeal Publicity
on Income Taxes
International News Service

The House Ways and Means
Committee today moved swiftly to
protect the average citizen from
having the glare of publicity
turned upon the intimate details
of his private income.
A bill was being drafted by the
committee to repeal the So-called
"pink-slip" law, whereby detailed
information of the sources of in
come, deductions, and charitable
contributions of the man in the
street would be thrown open to
public inspection in his income
tax returns.
COnfereeS DeadIOcked
This move followed stalemate
meeting of Houes and Senate
conferees in which the latter
threatened the Senate would
fight repeal of the pink slip law.
The Senate conferees, through
Senators King CD of Utah, La
Toilette (PO of Wisconsin and
CouzenS LR.) of Michigan, served
notice that if the House re-
pealed the pink slip law. the
Senate would replace it with the
original La Toilette amendment.
This would make public not the
summarized tax information, but
the returns themselves.
This challenge from the Senate
spurred rather than deferred the
House members of the Ways and
Means Committee.
Substitute Offered
Representative Cullen (D) Of
New York, chairman of the con.
ferees, announced a bill was being
framed providing for repeal of the
pink slip and replacement of it
by a modified measure which
would permit general publicity
being given income tax informa-
tion only at the discretion of the
President. The information, how
ever, would be made available to
Congress and Federal and State
government officials.
The compromise bill will bear
the name of Representative Dough
ton (DQ of North Carolina, chair
man of the House Ways and
Means Committee. It is hoped
to have it ready for introduction
in the House on Monday and ef-
forts will be made to force a vote
not later than Thursday.

Second Birthday
BY EARL GOODWIN

by EACGA UOO"N
President Roosevelt today
ended two years in the White
House except for tomorrow which
is to be a day Of rest-and if
there is anything worrying him
he has kept it from his two
assistant secretaries.
Steve Early and Marvin NC
Intyre said today "the chief"
was in the best humor they've
seen for a long time.
The President had long talk
with his old pal, Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman, and after that the
only appointment was a confer
ence with Gov. Gen. Frank Muir
ply of the Philippines.
Cathedral Services
! Tomorrow the President has
been invited to attend an after
noon service at the Washington
Cathedral in commemoration Of
the second anniversary of the Ad-
ministration. The sermon is to be
preached by the Rt. Rev. DR..
Names G. Freeman, bishop Of
Washington.
Tonight the President, as a
member of the National Press
Club, attends the annual found
ers' day dinner of that organiza-
tion.
On Monday night he and Mrs.
Roosevelt will be guests at a din
ner given by members of his Cabi-
net in honor of the New Deals
second birthday. The dinner is
to be held at the Mayflower Hotel.
Silent on Legislation
These festivities are being given
by the Presidents close friends at
a time when the situation be-
tween the White House and the
Capitol is more exciting and tense
than ever before in the Roosevelt
administration.
The attitude of the President.
so far as public utterance is con-
cerned, is that he will not make
the slightest comment on pending
legislation. This means that he
will have nothing to say about the
several compromises offered to
compose differences in the Senate
on the 1880 million dollar work
relief bill.
Past Tactics Recalled
Privately. however, it seems to
be generally accepted on Capitol
Hill that President Roosevelt told
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic flor leader, that he
wouldn't even discuss a compro-
mise.
The fact that Governor eh-
man of New York is at the White
House today recalls that the Presi-
dent, as governor of the Empire
State for two terms, had four
years of fencing with legisla-
ture which had an opposition ma
5ority in both houses: and that
as governor, President Roosevelt
was able to get through some of
his biggest pet measures. He
adopted the same attitude and
the smiling exterior which marks
him today with the Senate having
voted against him on the wage
section of the work relief bill.

COMPLETES HALF OF TERM IN BEST OF SPIRITS
Mrs. Roosevelt
BareS Hand to
'PalmiSt'

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt had
her fortune told yesterday after.
noon for so cents, and it took the
fortune teller, Mrs. j. Hamilton
Lewis, wife of the Senator from
Illinois, Is minutes to do it.
The fortune telling took place
at the bag sale and bazaar now
being held at the American Red
Cross Building, 1880 E st. N. W.,
for the benefit of the Florence
Nightingale International Memo,
rial in London.
Mrs. Roosevelt, her fortune told,
came out of the booth smiling and
very pleased. Questioned as to
what she had told Mrs. Roosevelt,
Mrs. Lewis said:
II never reveal anything 1
find, but the lines in Mrs.
ROosevelt'S strong hands were
most fascinating. Her great
vitality and power to accom-
plish I found even greater in
her hand than l had known
her to be-"
One of the first purchases Mrs.
Roosevelt made at the bazaar was
a ball and a skipping rope for
which she paid 10 cents each.
She also purchased three "bache-
lor's button bags" for so cents
each, which she said she would
send to her boys in school.
Other purchases included some
pink silk lingerie for So: three
shoe bags, S1.25; a beaded eve
ming bag, $3.50, and a blue knit
ting bag, $1.50. Her most ex-
pensive purchase was a white kid

Federal Oats Loans
Submitted to AAA

Agricultural representatives of
eight states, including Minnesota,
meeting at Des Moines, Iowa ask
ed the federal government to ex-
tend credit to farmers on the Sc
curity of farm-stored oats. This
proposal has been submitted to
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
Plans for loans or wheat were
also discussed at this conference,
but definite recommendations were
postponed pending a survey of
farm storage facilities for wheat
and the keeping qualities of this
grain.
Inasmuch as no governmental
production control program has
been developed for oats, the con-
ference recommended that loans be
made only to farmers who have
signed corn-hog or wheat adjust
ment contracts. Borrowers would
be required to reduce their 1886
acreage by an amount not to ex-
coed Is per cent of their 1928
acreage. As a further safeguard
against overproduction of oats in
1886, the conference suggested
that the 1885 wheat and corn-hog
contracts forbid the contract sign
-er whether or not he has received
an oats loan, to plant more oats in
1886 than his average acreage for
1928.
Some immediate action, the con-
ferees believe, will be necessary to
keep the 1885 oats crop, which
promises to be unusually large,
from depressing the prices of all
farm grains. 81

Parade includes Bikes, Trikes

With every item for the day a
certainty with the sole exception
of the weather, finishing touches
on the city's biggest free celebra-
ton July 4 are being applied this
week.
Already committee members are
optimistic over entertaining the
largest crowd ever to gather in
the Scenic City if the weather man
sees fit to give them the desired
break. The day will be crowded
with old-fashioned free events.
Planners, not only of the cele-
bration in general but those head
ing committees for the bridge ded-
ication and for entertainment at
Lake Redwood, fair grounds, Lin
coin school field and on city streets
reported rapid progress with indie
pendence day only two weeks
away.
Announcement has been receiv-
ed from highway officials that the
bridge parkway will be completed
perhaps q day or two before the
celebration date but they think it
wise to defer the opening until af-
ter the celebration since traffic
would have to be shut off for that
day. This meshes perfectly with
celebration plans.

Communitys First Business Woman
Too Busy for Clubs, Likes Garden

Back and forth before her door,
at the foot of the slope from
North Redwood to Redwood Falls,
pass the cars and trucks of the
modern world. Many drivers have
pleasant memories of an acquain-
tanceship with the pleasant hotel
proprietress, Miss Louise Weiss,
which dates back to the days when
the slower horse and buggy gave
more time for surveying the pic
turesque scene. Others notice on
ly the beauty of the spot and the
industry of the maiden lady who
keeps its lawns and gardens SO
well groomed.
Miss Weiss came to this part of
the country about go years ago
and has devoted the greatest share
of that time to the laborious tasks
which can accumulate around a
farm and an individually operated
hotel.
In fact it was not the easiest
task to get Miss Weiss to discon-
tinue activities in her well-filled
garden to get q few words from
her in the form Of an interview.
Her cabbages were showing signs
of being eaten and her deductory
powers, gained from years of
gardening, simmered the field Of
possibilities down to rabbits. Her
work at the time was concentrat-
ed on means Of Kidding her sauer-
kraut plants of the pests.
Undoubtedly the earliest resi-
dent of North Redwood who still
lives there, Miss Weiss settled on
q farm with her family when
small girl. The home then was
across the road from where she
now resides and up to the foot of
the hill. There was no such thing
as North Redwood at the time.
About ten years later, or about
so years ago, they erected the
hotel and did Furnishing bust
ness after the railroad was put
through the town. Living there
with her at the time were her
mother and father and brother,
Anton, now q prominent resident
of Duluth. A younger brother,
William, drowned at the. age Of
eight years in the Redwood river
near the spot where the mill once
stood. Her father died in 1906
and her mother died in 1916.

Building Ideas At New

The new DR.. T. E. Finn resi-

which a basement is now being
dug has been selected by the local
federal housing administration
committee as its model homen
and will be shown to the public
during the progress of its con-
struction as an example for other
building work.
The model home plan is being
used in communities all over the
country to stimulate interest in
better housing.
The new Finn home was select
ed because of its convenience,
modern features and because it is
at a stage of construction where
it can be followed from the base
ment to the roof.
The plan is to keep the house
open Sundays and probably certain
evenings when members Of the
committee or their representatives
will be present to take people
through and explain features of
construction. Visiting during hours
when men are at work will be dis
couraged.
