The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-08-14

by the civic leaders, by the filters,
by the pilots association, and by
the chairman of the airport
commission. They picked a site
in Maryland. Anyone who looked
at these signs might well have
said the Washington Airport
hadn't a chance.
And what happened? The
House up and passed a bill for
the Washington Airport.
Then there was the case Of
the Government employees sal
airy raises. Senator Pat McCar-
ran introduced a bill. He
famed the flames Of enthusi-
.asIn. It looked good. 1t went
smack down to the earth on a
letter from the Budget Bureau
taken as the thoughts of the
President saying no can do. All
was gloom. All was lost. When,
bang, Representative Robert
RamSpeck introduced a bill, not
as liberal as Senator McCarran,
but at least help for $4,000
employees, and it is said to have
the blessings of the man in the
White House. So up goes the
hope again.
Crowding in on this thought
comes the whispers Of do or
de-" Don't give up the ship"
You never can tell" And how
about Gravelly Point?
The President has stopped,
momentarily at least, calling the
White House correspondents
ounces. He talks to them more
cordially now about nice fat
salaries. AS for example.
The room was crowded. The
boys kept chirping away about
farm legislation Would he grant
the crop loans? Would he? Why
not? How about it pal, old pal?
Thus went the chorus. Sud
denly the reserve broke.
NO" said he IT will not, until
there is farm control legislation
passed."
GIVES AN EXAMPLE
More questions, Why? What
for? What good would that do?
How do you get that way? And
so he took this example, to para
phase his remarks:
There's Earl Goodwin. Earl
comes to me and says, Frank,
how about loaning me $780,
0OO?'
Earl looked interested. Earl
would like to borrow 100000.
Who wouldn't? He beamed. and
the President continued:
I'D say what security do you
have to offer?" Earl would say
I get $4,000 a year."
Earl considered that he would
be exaggerating a little if he
said that. In fact, quick mental
arithmetic proved to him that
it was too good to be true. But
the President went right on.
I'D say, Earl, I can't do it.
Have you anything else to Of
fer, and Earl would reply: Well,
I think I'm going to get $4,000
beginning January l. And I'd
say. Have you a contract?'
and he'd say, NO, just hopes
And then I would have to reply:
LAS much as I love you, Earl,
I couldn't lend you 100000 on
$4,000 worth of hopes. Bring
me a contract at that figure
and I'll talk business.
OF such stuff are dreams
made and farm legislation is
explained.

HOPE GIVEN Up
FOR WAGE, HOUR
PASSAGE
House Leaders Plan
Further Study
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL


0.N.SO. An interim investiga-
ton Of the wage-hours problem,
with formal abandonment Of the
Black Connery bill for the present
session, was considered by House
leaders today as they prepared
to clear the House calendar next
week for early adjournment.
With the wage-hours bill effec-
lively barred from the House
floor, temporarily at least, by re-
fusal Of the Rules Committee to
grant a special rule, the, investiga-
ton proposal was placed before
wage-hours hackers.
SCHEDULE TOLD
House leaders announced that
a tax loophole bill will be con-
Sidered next Monday, the last def
cheney appropriation bill will be
taken up Tuesday and the Wagner
housing bill is slated for Wednes-
day of next week.
With these measures out of the
way, House leaders would be ready
to inform the Senate that they
are ready for early adjournment.
Representative Arthur Healey
Cd Of Massachusetts,, chairman
OF the "wage-hours bloc" an
nounced that a special meeting
will be held on Monday.
I'VE expect to discuss the ques-
ton of authorizing the labor
committee to sit during the con-
greSSional recess, with funds to
make a special investigation OF
the subject, and report legisla-
ton in the next session." said
Healey.
I'VE also will consider whether
the bill can be brought up this
session. It looks as If it has
been blocked"
HOPE ABANDONED
The wage-hours bloc named a
steering committee of Is to aid in
the fight for passage of the bill,
but hope for the present session
was virtually abandoned.
While Representative Mary T,
Norton Cd of New Jersey, chair
man Of the Labor Committee, will
file a petition to discharge the
Rules Committee, there appeared
little hope that the petition can
be completed in time to force the
measure to the floor.
The possibility of completing the
petition was further dimmed
when House leaders abandoned u
Saturday session. The effect was
to delay until August % the date
after which she could file the pc
tition.
Speaker Bankhead rejected sllg.
gestions that gag rule" be applied
by an attempt to pass the measure
under suspension of the rules with
but 40 minutes debate. He de-
clared a bill of such great import
ance should have more cOnsidera-
ton.
Many friends of the measure also
opposed gag rule" because amend
mentS would be barred. They hope
to Hberalize the measure on the
floor.

NEW YORK, March 8 GN.S).
A run-up in utilities and copper
shares featured an active, but
mixed and erratic, stock market
today.
Point gains were registered by
Anaconda and Kennecott, while
similar gains were netted by Co
lumbia Gas. Electric Power and
Light, Standard Gas, Consolidated
Edison. American Power and Light
and North American.
After early strength, rails were
under pressure which extended
also to Steels and motors. U. S..
Steel dropped 3 and Bethlehem
more than 2 before meeting sup
port, although Otis mad Republic
reached new peaks on independent
moves. Chrysler slipped a point
along with General Motors.
Such carriers as Baltimore and
Ohio, Great Northern, Illinois Cen
tral and Southern Pacific lost up
to a point after hitting new tops.
Oils, farm implements and rub
bers were firm. AviationS, amuse-
ments and building shares lost
some ground.
Bonds were led upward by rail

HARVESTER NET
UP SHARPLY

Substantial improvement in the
business of the International Har-
vester Company during 1896 as
compared with 1885 is shown by
the annual report, issued over the
signature of President Sydney G..
McAllister.
Noting that the company's fiscal
year has been changed so as to
end on October 81 instead of De-
cember 81, the report states that
net profits for 1886 were $29, $780,
000 as against $19,618,238.03 for
1885.
Total proceeds from sales during
the fiscal period ended october 81
were $254,934, 900 or II per cent
more than for 1885, and "a per
cent less than for the peak year,
1929. President McAllister says:
"ThiS increase in sales can be
attributed to the further i'm
prOvement in farm income, the
continuing need for replacement
of farm implements, the intro
ductiOn of new and improved
machines, and the increasing de-
mand for our motor trucks and
for other products designed par
ticularly for industrial uses.
Our business throughout the
world was good, generally speak
ing, except in the drought
stricken areas in the United
States and Canada, and in some
foreign countries affected by
political and economic uncer-
taintieS."

Tips for the Bride

Before you take that new apart
ment or house of yours be sure to
check on these things.
First comes the paint on the walls.
There are good washable paints on
the market today for both walls and
woodwork, and it will save you many
q head and backache if you have
things right from the beginning. It
isn't expensive, either, and will give
you such satisfaction. There's an
other good thing about washable
paint-you can now have those grand
light tintS, soft yellows, green's, blues,
peach, apricot and plain white with
no fear at all. Washing after wash
ing, the walls will come forth clean
and fresh with every bit of the true
color they had when first painted.
OF course, these items may not sound
as enhancing or interesting as silver
patterns, and new china, but they are
good sound sense.
And Chen the floors. See that they
have q good stout, wear-reSiStant
finish-one that will take wax per-
fectly and one that has no rough
spots. OF course, you can always nix
them up easily enough later on-tnere
are easy to use, inexpensive varnlSneS
on the market, quick drying, too-put
you'll want your home PERFECTION IL
self to start with: -.
Here's something you just must
tend to-if your landlord won't do IL,
do it yourself. Fix those closets
fresh ename1ed shelves and crisp
edging. See that the inside CT the
