GLUM
AS PRESIDENT
GOES SOUTH
See Nothing But Trouble
And Bickering Over Bills
Pending in Congress
International News Service


President Roosevelt sped South
ward today for a brief respite
from his troubles, leaving behind
a set of congressional leaders
gloomily contemplating the rest
of the session. Most Of them
would like to be going South, too.
In whatever legislative direc-
ton the leaders looked they saw
trouble and pickering over bills
which Mr.. Roosevelt insists be
enacted before adjournment. II
any serious attempt is made to
enact the whole program, Con-
gress may well be in session all
summer.
Program Told
Before leaving, the President
told his congressional leaders he
definitely wanted to have passed:
The social security program.
involving old-age pensions and
unemployment insurance.
The NRA extension act.
The legislation to drastically
regulate or eliminate certain
types of holding companies In
the utility field.
A bill to increase the Hole
capitalization by 1,750 million
dollars.
A bill to give the Interstate
Commerce Commission jurisdic-
ton over all types of commercial
transportation that engages IN
interstate commerce.
The bill to extend the Gov
ernment's regulatory powers
over food and drug standards.
Opposition to All
The foregoing constitutes the
White House priority list in legiS-
lation. There is opposition of
some sort to every item in the
list. Some of it is formidable,
some of it isn't. But all opposi-
ton operates for delay and debate,
and many weary weeks stretch
ahead of the harraSsed leaders If
they attempt to put through the
whole list.
Other measures that Mr.. RooSe-
velt would like to see passed in
clude the ship subsidy bill which
was covered in a special message:
amendments to the AAA legisla-
ton and amendments to the Fed
eral Reserve act to give the Gov
ernment greater power over the
reserve system.
A veto awaits the soldiers
bonus bill. AS for the Wagner
labor disputes bill and the 30
hour bill, the Administration is
preserving silence.
Here Three Months
Congress has been in session
almost three months. Not one
piece of major legislation has
been enacted in that time, save
for the usual routine appropria-
ton bills.
The 4,880-million-dollar work
relief bill has been passed by both
Houses, but it still is far from be-
ing a completed project. The SEN
ate wearily accepted a lot OF
amendments to it last week in or
der to get it off the floor and into
conference. The battling will
break out anew when the con-
ferees bring in their report.
The outlook is such that it is
small wonder the leaders looked
enviously after Mr.. Roosevelt's va
cation-bound train as it sped
Southwark today.

Those farmers who are growing

other crop products furnish consider
able feed best utilized by livestock,
particularly by cattle.
Farmers who have land suited to

beef cattle through which they will
secure return from this land and

Other farmers who are producing
velvet beans soy beans for improv-

LEGUMES AND LIVESTOCK .'s-
FOR IDLE SOUTHERN LANDS

Legumes and livestock are becon1-
ing more widespread in southern
states, whose farmers are finding
that more liberal use of legumes in
the crop rotations will be the best
way to utilize much of the acreage
taken out of cotton and tobacco pro-
duction through AAA contracts.
In South Carolina a half million
acres and in other states proportion
ate acreages are thus being added to
acreages already available for leg
umes and grains for the soils sake
and for making farms more self
sustaining. Into such farming plan
it is being found that livestock fits
well, especially since southern states
are now buying millions of pounds
of meat produces and dairy products,
and since southern soils greatly need
rebuilding.
"Good farmers report an increase
of one-fourth to one-half bale of cot
ton per acre, where the manure from
one steer during a To-day feeding
period is applied to an acre of crop
land, and increased crop yields for
several years thereafter" says one

PHIL KENNAMER GETS
rs YEARS IN PENITENTIARY

Twenty-Five years in state peniten-
tiary is the penalty 19-year-old Phil
Kennamer must pay for the Staying
of John F. Gorrell, Jr., %, in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, last Thanksgiving night.
The well-knit, dark-haired son of
Federal Judge Franklin E. Kennamer
stood up in district court room there
last week and accepted the long term,
levied by Judge Thurman Hurst,
without change of expression. The
state had asked SO years.
The defense Immediately announc-
ed intention to appear. Judge Hurst
granted four months for its prepare
ton. Previously, he denied Kenna-
mer's motion for a new trial.
Bond for the youth, convicted OF
manslaughter last Thursday night by
a jury Of filling station operators and
farmers, was set at $4,000. He was
ordered held in the Sandstone county
Jail until bond is posted.
Young Kennamer said Gorrell-al-
so of a socially prominent Tulsa fam
ily-was shot with the victims own
pistol in struggle started when Phil
sought to thwart an alleged extortion
plot directed at the oil-wealthy fam
lily of the girl he loves, blonde Vir-
GINA Wilcox.
Over his objections, defense attor-
neys pleaded temporary insanity
along with self-defense.
ut appears to me that up to this
time the innocent have suffered more
than the guilty for your acts" the
Judge told the youth, whose trial was
transferred here on a change of
venue.
"By your act you have brought
heartache and misery to two families.
81 have observed you through this
entire trial and have observed that
you were not much concerned, while
your honored' and respected father
was hurt bewildered."
Phil stood unmoved while Judge
Hurst lectured him. He wore the
same blue check suit in which he was
clad the night Gorrell was shot to
death.

MURDERS CAUSED BY
JEALOUSYSAND QUARRELS
Prison Commissioner Analyses 188
Murders Committed by
Sane Persons

London, Feb. 23.-Dr. w. Norwood
East, a prison commissioner who has
had personal experience of 235 men
charged with murder, told the Medi-
co-Legal society of his deduction con-
corning the motives for the crimes.
In analyzing 1873 murders commit
ted by sane persons, says the British
Medical Journal" DIR. East found
that:
as resulted from quarrel.
As were due to jealousy.
SO were inspired by percuniary
gain.
81 were prompted by revenge.
Is followed a. desire to get rid Of
AN 'fncohvenient person.
8 occurred during attempts to
avoid arrest.
10 resulted from suicide pacts.
Often there was more than one fac
tor.
Among the motives for murder
most common, said DIR. East, were
(the exercise of the acquisitive in its
most debased form, the self-preserva-
ton instinct, and the self-assertive
and sex instincts.
Some murderers appeared to COM
NIT crime largely to obtain for
brief space the spotlight of publicity.
OF 800 homicides at Broadmoor 81
were melancholics.
It was common for the sane muir
derer to feign insanity and for the
insane murder to pretend to be sane.
Sir Bernard Salisbury, the fore
most British medico-scientist, attach
ed to Scotland Yard, gareed with DIR.
East that murderers found the burden
Of secrecy too heavy to be borne. The
sane murderer would have the crime
on his mind from the time of it's
commital, would be continually turn
ing it over, constructing his defense,
and seeking self justification until he
would come to believe his own story.
In these circumstances it would
presently become almost impossible
for him to keep his thoughts to him.

MAXWELL EXPLAINS
SLOT MACHINE LAW

Raleigh, Feb. 21.-Outlawed slot
machines cannot operate even though
they have been licensed under the
revenue act, Commissioner A. J. Max
we'll said today in a statement tend
ing to clear up such complication as
may arise from the license and the
prohibition.
The commissioner said:
"The license for slot machines is
issued under statutory presumption
that the operation of such machines
is lawful, and the section of the reve-
nue. act under which license is issued
provides that the sum paid for such
state license shall not be refunded,
Notwithstanding that the operation
of such machine or apparatus shall
afterwards be prohibited. In as much
as license is issued under this pro-
visiond and the general assembly has
prohibited the operation of slot ma
chimes involving any element of
chance, the fact that license has been
issued for such machines for the tax
year ending May 81 is not in the way
of immediate enforcement of the pro-
hibition of the operation of such ma
chimes"
