Bill Will Pass Tuesday
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns prom
Used house action tomorrow.
I'VE may have to stay in session
until eight o'clock. but the bill will
be passed Tuesday" he said.
Weekend conferences between
house and senate leaders were said
to have indicated the Clark reso-
luton can be discarded in afvor of
two-year extension despite pros
poets of a stiff fight by MIRA OPP
ponents.
The ways and means committee
was reported in virtually unanim-
our agreement in favor of the ad-
ministration program. In addition
to two-year extension it would:
Clarity differences between In
terstate and interstate commerce;
give the, federal trade commission
main code violation enforcement
jurisdiction; permit the president
to impose limited codes, and pro-
vide safeguards for federal alco-
administrator control over re-
tail outlets.
New Deal Forces Busy
Washington, May 27-(UP)-
Congress drove toward the heart of
the New Deal program today in the
expectation that much more would
be accomplished in the next few
weeks than during the nearly five
months of the session thus far. The
controversy over extension of the
NRA shaped up as the main point
of dispute. The administrations
overwhelming majorities in both
houses have at last had the effect
of wearing out most of the OPPOSE
ton to other parts of the program.
A stern White House leadership
would suffice to hold congress in
line for the remainder Of the SEES
sion.
Bonus forces appeared to have
lost much of their strength through
dissension between the various
groups and President Roosevelt's
veto message.
The senate and house turn this
week to farm relief with consid-
Grafton of the AAA. amendments
extending licensing powers to dis
tributors as well as producers.
The bill regulating and elimin-
ating public utility holding COM
panies, the social security bill and
the Eccles bill to strengthen fed
cral reserve control over currency
and credit are next on the senate
calendar, in that order.
The democratic leadership plans
to put the NRA bill through the
house without gag this week; do
the same with the AAA amend
ments, also this week, and rush the
wagner-Connery labor disputes bill
through early next week.
The plan is to allow only five
hours general debate on virtually
all big bills due up from now on.
This will speed house action ana
probably leave the house ready to
adjourn by June IS.

Crosse told Detective Shanahan
that he had been out OF the city
over the weekend and that he did
not know of Bragg's arrest as q
coroners prisoner until this morn
ing. Hc told the detective and later
Coroner Monzani at the hearing
that he, and not Bragg. was driv-
ing the car. In his version of the
accident, Bragg had been drinking
heavily and asked him to drive
him home. Crosse claims that then
he told Bragg he had no opera
tors license, but that he would
drive him home as a favor. When
the accident took place, he said.
neither Bragg nor he thought it
was serious in nature and when
questioned by Patrolman Walter
Ahearn at st. Mary's hospital,
Bragg had told the officer that he
was driving the car rather than get
Crosse into difiiculty because he
had no license. At the hearing,
Bragg agreed with Crosses story.
though he had insisted to police
at headquarters after the accident
that he was the driver.
Patrolman A h earn arrested
Bragg shortly after the accident
and booked him on drunken
driving charge, with Bragg telling
him and Lieut.. John Dunphy. desk
officer, that he was at the wheel
of the. car when It struck Mr.,
Havican. The drunken driving
charge against Bragg was con-
tinued in city court and he was
released on bonds. Meanwhile, Mr.,
Havican's condition grew more
serious and he died Friday night
OF the injuries he sustained when
struck and knocked down by
Bragg's car.
Coroner Monzani then issued a
warrant for Bragg and the latter

Highly Inflamndble
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
President Roosevelt was recently
quoted as saying that he liked to
get far away from Washington
now and then because he could
get a clearer picture Of how things
we're going on in the country as
a whole. Well, after observing
some of the fantastic economic
theories that he puts into effect
after returning from his trips, I
am hoping that he doesn't take
a trip to some far-aWay place,
like say China, at least while he
Is President.
I have made a special study OF
the worlds history and President
Roosevelt seems to be following
in the footsteps of past rulers OF
different nations who ruined their
respective countries through un'
Just taxation, and waste OF the
peoples money.
For an example, the early Pha-
roahs of Egypt ruined their coun-
try in peace time building the
pyramids and in our time Pha-
roah Roosevelt is running our
country building dams, which in
my opinion will not amount to a
d-n in future years, because
science will find some easier way
to furnish power and light. ]

A FeO Questions
On Mankind

To the Editor of The Times:
While reading I have come to
some confusing questions, that I
would like some one of the read
ers of the forum to answer. if
possible.
They are as follows:
/. Why is man less perfect as to
his wants, and means of supplying
them than the lower order of life
guided by instinct?
2. Is the gift of reason vanity
in man?
3. Assuming the earth is the
mother of our body, can she be
the mother of our brain? She
produces nothing to feed it, con.
sidering the high nourishment it
requires.
4. If the earth Is our proper
parent, why do some persons long
to be separated from it in life,
others in death? Would we not
cling to her in both life and
death?
