nothing wrong with her but nerves

WASHINGTON. voters in the congresson-

JOB Of "electing@ members to the Washington
lobby.
Defeating an unsatisfactory congressman
doesn't mean that YOU must have him back
home Chances usually are better than even
that he will stay right in Washington and
capitalize on his influence, friendships and past
favorS to others by hiring out to special in
terests as fiXer or lawyer-lobbyist
In case any of the folks back in the Eourta
district of Oklahoma, for instance, have been
wondering what ever became of Tom McKeoWn.
a lame duck of the 1884 vintage, they would
have learned something by following the prog
reSs OF the Van Nuys amendments to the bank
ruptcy law.
These amendments originally provided that
creditors bringing receivership suit against
a company must represent per cent Ct the
concerns total Indebtedness.
Three bondhoders had brought such suit
under the old law against Howard c. Hopsons
S90OO00000 Associated Gas & Electric CO. The
suit is still in litigation in the New York federal
courts.
It was obvious to the A. G. E. at least that
if the Van Nuys amendment could be made re
troactive the suit would have no standing.
McKeown got busy. AS a former veteran,
high-ranking member o. the powerful House
Judiciary committee. he was able to work etfec-
lively with former colleagues and ether friends.
Into the measure went the "retroaetiTe
clause.
a certain SndIp-eNtQ lawyer III NV 1OIh h
caught it-otherWiSe it would have become law.
McKeoWn was taxed by an acquaintance
with lobbying for it on behalf of a. G. E. Sol
emnly he protested that the change had moth
ing tc do with A. G. E-that he was working
for the common good"
But when Van NuyS had the Senate snatch
the amendments back from the House for fur
ther scrutiny and held hearings at which it was
shown the Associated suit would be affected,
McKeown appeared openly as an A. C. E. repre-
sentative-and another exhibit OF how the lco
by system works here.
Andrew W Mellon. former secretary of the
Treasury and one of the worlds wealthiest men
recently discussed the political campaign and
the Republican party's prospects with an old
friend.
He urged the need of harmony. of working

dominant party, and said that the independents
and progressives could be attracted back into
the fold this year by a few concessions.
Mellon may not have been as far off base
as most New Dealers would suggest If you will
check the long list Cf the national advisory COM

that about half the members are now against

NEW YORK. June 2. - Ernest
Hemingway has made a literary
Mecca of the most difficult city in
America to reach-Key West, Flor
ida. Editors. writer's and aspiring
fawners arrive daily to consult, re-
ceive advice and pay tribute to one
Of the foremost figures in letters.
Hemingway has established him
self at this tip end of the map al
most permanently, staying until
July or even August before moving
north. Since the hurricane a year
ago demolished the Florida East
Coast railroad, the only means OF
travelling to Key West, unless by
motor, is by bus or airplane.
The bus trip takes an entire day
from Miami. Flying takes an hour.
To go by boat from Miami, one must
first go to Havana and then over tc
Key West. which takes a couple oil
days. Hemingway has the most
beautiful house and grounds in a
town gangrened with decay and
struggling to master its calamities.
His home is a block or two back
from the water and occupies a city
square. Smothered in huge palms
it is more than 100 years old, of
Spanish Colonial type with two.

it disappears. Those who have seen
scme of his recently completed short
stories say his work is more dis

Since Ell Centro has been made
the central distributing point for
the valley by the Southern Pacific
railroad there is a string of empty
cars standing on the sidetracks
waiting to be called to other parts
of the valley.
Rumsey began opening goods in
MS new store on Thursday. He
will be open for business in his new
location next week and thereafter it
will not be necessary to go to I'M
perial for goods.
Grain harvest is ON in fun blast
all over the valley. The crop is
much better than it was before
harvested in the valley. With bar
ley crops bringing a gross of $40
per acre and netting the farmer
more than half that sum it can be
seen that our farmers are in better
shape than they ever have been.
