Inc more the New Deal lawyers
analyze the Hughes opinion in the
gold cases, the more they like it.
They believe it is sound reasoning
and will stand up.
Drive for Gold Bonds.
There seems to be no general
suspicion that it may come back to
haunt the New Deal some day If
prices 60 up. For instance, if a war
should be declared suddenly and the
purchasing power of the dollar should
drop below the 76-cent level, Liberty
Bond holder would then be able 10
prove damages under the reasoning
of the court decision.
Just to make sure this does not
happen, the Treasury is privately en-
barked on q smart drive to get all
the outstanding gold bonds converted
at the earliest possible date into nom
gold bonds. No announcements viii
be made about that.
Gen. Robert Wood (SearS, Roebuck)
made one stipulation in private con-
ferences with President Roosevelt and
Commerce Secretary Roper before he
accepted the appointment as head of
the Work Relief Advisory Committee,
He insisted he would not accept the
post unless he was to be consulted
in earnest. Both Roosevelt and
Roper gave assurances that he was
not chosen to be conservative win

ITO r street
The two were determined to lead
successful lives Grimm. who lived at
1916 Floral street, set up his shop in
the basement there. A married man,
he supplemented the family budget
with the sale of silver crosses and
trinketS.
He took these to Washington Ca

them as worthy mementoes Of their
visit to the great Gothic edifice. Work
absorbed Grimm, and he also became
deeply interested in the problems of
handicapped veterans. For years he
was familiar figure at meetings Of
veterans and of various patriotic
groups.

Grimm even bought a motor boat
and operated 1t himself during the
Spring and the Summer. He managed
to get about quite bit. although his
legs had been amputated at the thighs
and artificial limbs proved almost use
less. Only recently he and Sorensen
planned river trips this Spring in a
new motor boat which Grimm was
going to make with his own hands.
But last night Grimm was heset
with the old memories. Not even his
little silver crucif1xes could win him
from the mood. Friends said he
fought against the notion. but from
time to time ii would overwhelm him
a notion that his sacrifice was futile
after all, that he and many another
could have been spared the price
they paid. with the armistice already
in sight.
This morning Grimn's wife, Mrs.
Emily Grimm, found his body. It lay
in Grimm's basement workshop beside
the little silver cruciixes he had ham
mered out for 50 many months and
years.
The gas jet was open IN the little
furnace where he heated his metal
silver and gold.
The body was removed to the
hlorgue and q certificate Of suicide was
issued by the eoroneDs ONCE.

declined, resulting in an average
steel production rate of so per
cent.
Finishing mill schedules posted
for this week show operations in
sheet, strip, and bar mills on an
expanding basis. Tinplate opera
tons continued strong, while pipe
mills were running at a better
rate. All of the mill equipment
manufacturers in the district re-
port order books we'll filled and
prospects bright for steady opera
tons we'll into the fall.
In a national survey of steel
operations, the magazine Steel re-
ported a general expansion in
steel demand, with few consumers
failing to show some measure Of
improvement.
Users are anticipating require
ments for larger tonnages, the
magazine said, and steelmakers
themselves are increasing stocks
of raw steel.
Due principally to these factors,
steel ingot production last week
rose 2 points to As per cent, high
est since the last week in April.
Steelmakers are convinced that
the low point in steel production
for the year has been passed, and
that the industry shortly will over
take the rate Of 5412 per cent at
which it was operating early in
February, the magazine said.

break on legislation before the
landslide Of national legislation
ends this session.

bate on the heavy amount of leg
islation, tomorrow may also be al
located to debate on the issues
that need cleaning up.
The first bill that will be called

lance. It includes: a bill to allow

out the expansion of Union Sta
ton; bill to regulate appeals
from decisions of the Public Util-
tiles Commission; a bill to deSig-
nate an avenue in the Mall as
Maine Avenue, and a bill allowing
the use Of the parks for various
activities during the coming Elks
convention.
On the House side it is gener-
ally conceded that Tuesday will be
designated as the day on which
the rule for the two leave bills for
the Government employees will be
called up.
The first of these bills provides
for the reinstatement of 80 days
annual leave for Government EN-
ployes and the second provides for
the institution of is days sick
leave, which may be made accu.
mulative to 100 days. It is also
provided that in case of serious
accident or ailment the admins
trative officer may order 80 days
leave with pay.
For Odds and Ends
On Wednesday the House Dis
trict Committee will hold it's reg.
ular meeting at which the odds
and end of legislation which are
now pending will have their day
in court.
Senator william H. King Cd
of Utah, chairman of the Sen.
ate District Committee, announced
today that his committee may hold
a meeting this week. The primary
order of business will be conSid-
Grafton of a bill to select a site
