all sorts of devices which now use
electron tubes.
DR.. Stanley's discovery not only
ends an argument which has been
going on for nearly 40 years as to
whether tobacco mosaic virus is
alive or not, but it demonstrates
that lifeless chemical compounds
can exhibit certain characteristics
formerly thought to belong only
to living organisms.
AS DR.. Stanley points out we
now only know those viruses
which cause disease, as for ex-
ample, the viruses of measles, yell
low fever, etc.
He says it is likely many others
exist, and that it may be that a
complete series of intermediate
forms between lifeless matter and
living matter exists. The discovery
of such a series would lead to a
new understanding of the origin
of life, many problems of evolu-
ton. and many problems of the
behavior of living organisms.

Congress would be sure to stand
pat on the Social Security Act
passed last session were it not for
the rapid spread of the Townsend
Old-Age Revolving Pensions idea.
Townsend pressure for pensions
of 5000 a month to persons over
60, however, is likely to result in
liberalizing of the act
The provisions in the security
act to encourage old-age pensions
is that the Federal government
will match state pensions up to a
total of $50, meaning a maximum
Federal contribution of SIS a
month a person. But there is
some strong sentiment to make
the Federal government match
larger sums and to cut the age
limit to go instead of the present
stipulated IS, with temporary ex-
emption to 70 if states desire.
Such compromise might tend
to take the Townsend heat off
Washington and transfer it to
state Legislatures,

Congress may, however, be
rather generous about relief. 1t
surely will give Roosevelt the
$500,000,000 he wants for a con-
tinuing public works program
next year-although this will be
earmarked-and at least the $780,

General expectations that a
bonus bill will be passed over the
Presidential veto seems to be
justified.
The measure passed by both
houses, however, is expected to re-
semble the Vinson bill, passed by
the Senate before the Patman
bill was substituted for it, which
simply appropriates $2,263, 545, 684
for prompt cash payment.
Il There is little chance that the

the budget.
He will try to appear as an eco
nomical executive and let the
pressure for money come from
Congress, especially as to the
bonus and relief funds.
TN pre-congressional huddles
Il with party leaders, the Presi-
dent has expressed interest in lit
tie else than appropriation bills
and the neutrality issue.
AS in the last session, 322 of the
435 members of the House and SO
of the 96 Senators are Democrats
Many OF those Democrats are
more conservative or more radical
than the Administration, but you
can usually figure that the Demo-
cratic leadership in the House will
exert firm control over that body
as long as it requires 218 sigma
lures to force bill from COM
mittee where the Administration
wants it bottled up.
Action on the bonus will come
almost Immediately, owing to the
legislative position in which it was
left by the last session. The third
deficiency bill carrying social Sc
curity and other appropriations,
will also be handled early.
The amount of money Congress
will appropriate can not be FORE
told until better picture of relief
needs and pressures is available
and until it's known whether the
Supreme Court is going to kill the
AAA processing taxes.
VOU can be sure that the ''ordi-
i nary budget will be balanced
in one way Or another and that
Congress will be allowed to take
the lead in providing for relief in
the fiscal year beginning in July.
Congress is expected to hear a
lot about that from home. Roose-
velt has estimated this years de-
felt at 1921, 100000 and the best
guess now is that he should be
able to cut at least a couple of
billions off that-not allowing for
bonus or AAA upsets-by avoiding
another four billion dollar work.
relief measure such as that of the
present year.

In contrast with previous
sessions, the Administra-
ton has almost no legisla-
tive program and Congress
will be left to it's own de-
vices more than at any
other time since Roosevelt
became its master in March
1888.
AS far as the White House is
concerned, the promise of
breathing spell" is about to be
fulfilled
The most spectacular part OF
the show will be an effort by the
Administrator and its leaders on
Capitol Hill to make drastic cuts
in the national budget in the face
of probable passage of a veterans
cash bonus bill which will cost
more than $4,000, 100000.
Neutrality legislation and social
security are to provide two other
fields of combat.
A neutrality law must be devised
to replace the makeshift compro-
mise law which expires in
February.
THE issue here will be fought
l. out by.
l. Those who would keep us out
of war at any cost, short of armed
invasion.
2. Those who say it's worth TAX
ing a chance in return for the
profits of trade With belligerents.
3. Those who don't care about
the profits but feel the President
should have discretion to choose
sides among belligerents for either
moral or strategic reasons.
The battle will begin almost at
once. The Senate munitions COM
mittee has scheduled prompt
hearings on the banking phase of
it's investigation and will draw
information from that to demon
Strate again how this country
drifted into the World War.
Because the New Deals loss of
popularity has been largely due
to reaction against the spending
of billions for relief and recovery,
