THE MagyarS, doughty tribe OF
l. ASiaticS, had come west with
Attila the Hun, late in the ninth
century, and settled on the rocky
eminence that overlookS the DAN
ube at Budapest. In 1853, the
Turks began their invasion OF Eu-
rope, but for ITO years they were
kept off the soil Of the Magyars
in Hungary.
In 1921, however. the Turks
swept through Hungary toward
Vienna, and it was by the aid of
the great King John SobieSki of
Poland, in 1888, that they finally
were repulsed. Three years later,
the foreigners were swept out of
Budapest and gradually they were
pushed back toward ConStanti-
nople. Budapest was left almost
in ruins, but the city was quickly
rebuilt, and became one of the
most magnificent capitals in
Europe.
In 1886, on the 250th anniver.
Sary of the recapture Of Budapest,
Hungary issued series of Ave
stamps, illustrating the city'S free
dom from the Turks.

Yesterday with Summers and sen
ate judiciary committeeman.
The president is aware his pro-
gram will meet "a hard fight" it
YVES said, but he is not willing TO
accept any changes. One Specif-
ically mentioned was Majority
Leader Joe T. Robinson's person
IL proposal that rs might be 4
better retirement age than 70.
The White House sources also
said that Mr. Roosevelt personal
~ endorsed the retirement bill
passed by the house when he con
felrcd with Summers Yesterday
morning. and that he requested
Summers to delay action on Sec
ond bill which would provide for
government intervention IN cases
involving cOnStitutiona!ity OF fed
eral statutes, and speedy appeal
to the supreme court.
In addition It was stated Mr..
Roosevelt is not considering any
plans for a constitutional amend
mcnt to give the administration
power in the field of labor, in
dustrial and agricultural legisla-
ton. feeling it would delay enact
mcnt of needed laws too long. The
so far unsuccessful effort to add
child labor amendment TO the
constitution was cited as an en-
ample of the SlowncSs Of the
amendment process.
But Chairman Henry Fountain
Ashu st, d., Ariz., Of the senate
judiciary committee, when advised
of the White House intimations,
said he had not heard OF them.
AshmS, whose position puts
him in charge Of the next move
on the retirement bill, said he was
"hot" in favor of it.
Certainly we won't delay it
here" he said, but when asked
whether the judiciary committee
would take it up next Monday he
profesScd uncertainty. AS for SEN
ate passage, he suggested that
might come with "the ldes OF
March" or possibly in April or
May.
He refused comment on An
drews' bill. The Florida senator
provided that on retirement the
supreme court justices be reliev-
ed from any further duties.
"My BILL" he said, would per-
nit the justices to retire at ~
in dignity and with confidence of
full salary. 1t does not conflict
with the constitution. The Sum-
ners bill is not fundamentally OBJ
iectionable but think mine is
better"
He, added that he picked the
age of az chiefly with the idea
that it might attract votes of SEN
ators who think 70 is too young.
1t happens, however, that two
justices who would be affected
by the presidents and Summers
retirement proposals - Justices
Owen J. Roberts and Pierce But
ler-would not be. affected at
present by Andrews bill. Roberts
will not. be ~ until May 2; But
ler will be II March II.

Fo. those legislators who indulge,
there is always n drink to be bad.
SchooIcd in the fine art of hospi-
tally and etiquette, the lobbyist
may suggest:
1--WE can drop up to my room
and have a drink if you like"
And sometimes the legislator,
tired from a dull day in the as
Scmhly, accepts. Then between
drinks. the lobbyist talks of many
things. But he is ever careful to
bring out that q certain piece of
legislation" might do harm, or
"such a bilP' might do lot of
good.
In no way does the lobbyist
present his case so that the law
maker will become offended. First
rule for the lobbyist is:
"Ncver push a proposition. Let
the occasion handle the situation. "
The lobbyists pay ranges from
nothing to several thousand dol
lars during the session. OF course,
the actual expense accounts of a
few would be a revelation could
they be disclosed.
Some lobbyists lobby for "the
good Of the people" Others lobby
for big interests. Here the mig
parties and the big pay comes in.
The lobbyists represent every
thing from tobacco companies TO
burial associations.

that Il member of the legislature

Billy Wheeler, wealthy young cattle.
man, arrives at the 81 ranch, summoned
BY his friend Horse Dunn, its elderly
and quick-tempe owner, because of q
mysterious murder. Billy is in love with

well, whom he has defeated in his efforts

ground at Short Creek and found the trail
Of q shod and unshod horse. The shod
horses rider had been killed. The body
had disappeared. Link Bender had ar.
rived at the scene and read the signs the
way he had. Dunn reveals that because

Coffee, the country's best trailer, to Join
them. Dunn and Billy meet Amos, Link

route with the money. Billy accompanies

The physical hardship has brought
about the introduction of a simple
diving suit that not only allows the
diver a longer time to gather oyster
shells but lessons the danger of
paralysis. Too, sharks are more
easily eluded by the man in a
divers suit. But these suits are
relatively expensive and boys most
often start as "skin" divers. Any
day may bring wealth to the diver,
so there is certain elan In the air
that is felt through the time when
diving brings merely a bare liv-

oysters in the bay near La Paz.
It takes years for the tiny granule
