Philip Garfield returned from
Florida for Christmas. but even
this did not prevent its being a
miserable holiday for Marcia.
She still felt the sting of the hos

upon her trip to Chicago on the
trail of Frank Kendrick: still felt
the despair which had been hers
when. without thought of her own
pride an dinterest, she had reso-
lutely followed that trail to its
fruitless end.
The two. however, after passing
the early part Of the day with aS
great show of spirits rs Marcia
could manage, left home in the
afternoon to attend Mrs: Hender-

DOOM FACING
u. 5. AGENCIES
BY JULY |
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

International News Service
The New Deal, freshly Endorsed
BY the electorate, will have to be
re.enacted all over again by the
new Congress.
A survey today showed that 81
acts, creating emergency agencies
of the Government, expire by next
July /. The list includes the giant
agencies handling relief, public
works, housing, home loans ana
farm loan problems.
President Roosevelt, however,
will have little trouble getting his
program enacted, due to the rec
ord,smashing Democratic majori-
ties in both House and Senate, OBJ
servers said, but there will be
some opposition to extending the
life Of few of the emergency Or
Ranizations. This was indicated
by Senator Borah R), of Idaho,
who observed:
"Now that recovery is at
hand, we ought to do away with
some of our emergency Organi-
EatiOnS."
CHANCE FOR REVISION
The expiration of so many New
Deal acts, meanwhile, will give
the President himself a chance
to revise his recovery program.
He may decide to abandon some
of the emergency organizations.
Renewal of some will be opposed
by the Presidents own advisers
on Capitol Hill, who seek to re-
duce Governmental costs in
hopes of an early balancing Of the
budget.
The Senate Byrd Committee
and the House Buchanan Commit
tee are at work studying propoS-
ais for reducing Governmental
costs. Some of their recommenda-
tions may include abandonment Of
New Deal agencies.
Doom Faces RFC
The list of threatened agencies
included the RFC, which expires
February /, and the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Mortgage Company,
June 80, the FERA and the PWA
both expire early in the new year.
There is little doubt, though, that
the President will ask an extension
for one or both of these agencies,
since the relief problem is still
acute.
Other death sentences" have
been decreed for the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation, the HOLC
and the Savings and Loan Di-
vision of the Home Loan Bank
Board. Some agency will have to
be continued to handle their out
standing loans, even If future
loans are prohibited.
The FILA will die in the next
few months unless "reprieved.
Others are the Soil Conservation
Service, the CCC, the Electric
Home and Farm Authority and
the Federal Surplus Commodity
Corporation.

BY EARL GOODWIN

There is q serious shortage OF
building materials principally
steel and copper-in the Navy
yards and the entire Naval build
ing program is threatened because
steel and copper industry will not
bid on Navy contracts while the
WalSh-Healey act forces a 40-hour
week and labor union wages on
Government business.
The matter is serious with the
Navy. A conference of Naval Of
ficials is starting this week to see
what can be done. Meantime
the apparent attitude Of the
President is just about what the
attitude of a petty officer on the
deck of a battleship would be to
whom a boot" sailor had COM
planned he had lost his hat.
Turn In No Bid
The alsh-Healey act requires
that bidders on Government con-
tracts over $4,000 conform to the
local union wage scales and the
4O-hour week. This brings the
cost higher than otherwise, of
course; and in the case Of the
Navy the manufacturers of steel,
copper, fuel oil and some machine
tools are evidently engaging in
competition to see who can turn
in-not the lowest bid-but no
bids at all.
Among the items the Navy needs
and cannot get any bids on are
5000 tons of steel, 1000, 900 pounds
of copper and large amounts Of
fuel oil. The steel and copper are
the most pressing items. Bids
for steel were expected a few weeks
ago-and nobody bid. On Decem-
ber 9 the Navy opened what it
thought was bunch Of bids on
copper-and there were no offers
to sell the Navy even as much as a
nickePs worth. Again on Decem-

"A Finn?," exclaimed the
Judge. ."WelI, I'd like to know

can help people from the cOun-
tries that didn't pay their war
debts, and we certainly aren't
going to permit a Finn to starve
when FINLAND is the one cOun-
try that has paid up so honor
ably on the war debit"
The judge, in his role in this
passing little drama, spoke the
sentiments of the entire American
people. Ten years ago Finland, to
the majority Of us, was some
vague place near Russia, an ice.
bound little place with reindeerS,
famous solely because OF Hans
Kohlemainen, who could run the

faster than any human being in

Next, the Films came up with q

of Paavo Nurmi. At the Olympic

land on the map as the greatest
country of it's size, or perhaps OF
any size, in producing track and

Ckina's amazing kidnapping had
an equally fantastic upshot today
when the kidnaper, Marshal
Chang HSueh-Liang, was sent
enced to ten years Imprisonment
but was promised that he would
be pardoned tomorrow as a New
Year present.
The special court of the ma

buked Marshal Chang for holding
Premier Chang Kai-Shek prisoner
for two weeks, and made him
promise to be good in the future.
Otherwise, the young marshal"
former war lord of Manchuria,
escapes unscathed after max
ing one of the most startling
"Snatches" in history.

recommended leniency for Mar
shall Chang, and it is now re-
garded as possible that Chang will

CLINCHY CITES
D. {. DISTRESS

The plight of poverty-stricken
residents of Washington, Strug-
Cling for existence without the
aid of relief was detailed by
speakers at a luncheon meeting
yesterday under auspices of the
Council of Social Agencies in the
Harrington Hotel.
Rev. Russell j. Clinchy, who
presided, urged the audience to
attend a public hearing the Dis
trict Commissioners will hold next
Tuesday. The meeting was called
to consider the request by the
Board of Public Welfare for all
$3.50 900 deficiency appropriation
for direct relief.
Mrs. Margaret Anderson, of the
District relief organization, re-
lated how families, ineligible for
relief because of being classified
as employable, were forced to live
on income which would not even
permit purchase of sufficient food.
She described a family of 13 chill
dren, a father and mother, with
a total income of $79 a month,
and declared there were hundreds
of similar cases,
