A sample of what may be ex-
peeted comes to mind when one
eontemplates the acton ofs the
House on the relief bill. When
about one-third Of TIE $1,000. 000.-
coo was earmarked and Harry
Hopkins salary cut to $4,000
the revolt seemed to be under
way but. before the bin passed,
the lumD sum principal was restor-
I'd as Roosevelt desired and Mr..
Hopkins pay was back at its
previous figure OF $4,000. Then
tie measure went to the Senate.
What wiz happen TO it. before
both Houses take final acton, is
not easily guessed. and in view of
the House conduct, uppredictabls
with any cegree CT accuracy.
Hard-boiled observers, however.
insist that you can get an idea o.
Mr.. RoOsevelt's future control
over the present Congress by
watching whether he manages TO
retain the lump-sum principle in
the relief bin that Congress final

There continues the usual de-
bate over tactics in the Court
fight, with some observers de-
e.aring that President Roosevelt
has waited too long to put over .
compromise successfully in view
of the strength Of the opposition.
The idea that Mr.. Roosevelt is
anx;ously looking FOR a chance TO
back out of the court fight is very
popular in some quarters but
without much evidence from the
White House itself. TIE opposite
view is that the President intends
to insist upon the substance of
what he sought to obtain through
his court proros- Is although not
necessarily determined that de-
tails be exactly as outlined. This
means that until the Court has

lished a fixed liberal interpreta-
ton OF power the court issue viii

Of becoming an issue in many
Congressional contests in the fall

Spoksemen for the utilities,

However, TIE Presidents mes
sage or this subject demonstrates
again the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
keeps working toward what he
wishes. In 1885, in recommend
ing the Tennessee Valley Author

would lead to like development
of other natural territorial units.

Democrats, whether they like it
or not, are bornd up with the for
tunes of the Presidents policies.
If he succeeds, the party's future
is good Z if he fails, regardless OF
what individual congressman
may say about his conduct, the
chances of the party are exceed
ingly bad. This may not interest
Congressman in Fock-Dound DEM
ocratic areas but it is of some
moment to Congressman from dis
tricts that are considered debat-
able ground. That the President
is bending the p&rty's course TO
the left is as plain as the noon
d2y sun, which means that con-
servative Democrats who find it
distasteful are definitely behind
the eight ball.

KEY BRIDGE WORK

Highway Engineers Will Wait
Until New Chain Span

The work of constructing an ad-

lyn. Va, will not be started until the
new Chain Bridge has been COM
pleted, it was decided yesterday fol-
lowing a conference between Bureau
of Public Roads engineers and Ma
tional Capital Parks officials.
The Key Bridge job will require par
tial closing Of that structure to traf-
fic, and officials do not feel justified in
having both Chain and Key Bridges
denied full traffic flow at the same
time.
Frank T Gartside. acting superin-
tendent Of the National Capital Parks,
explained that the new arch in Key
Bridge is necessary for the George

LONDON, July 17.-Germany and
Soviet Russia accepted limitations
of the 1886 london naval treaty to-
day by signing bilateral naval agree
ments with, Great Britain.
These powers thus became sub
ject to the agreement limiting size
of Warships and providing for inter-
change of naval building data The
treaty does not limit the number o.
WarShipS.
The treaty already has been rati-
fed by France and the United States
and it was expected the two BIZ
lateral agreements would lead Great
Britain to do likewise.
Japan refused to adhere to any
such limitations at the London con-
ference.
Russia was freed from the obl-
cation OF supplying information on
naval vessels constructed or en-
plOyed in the Far East. Moreover
upon notification to Great Britain
Russia will be allowed to depart
from restrictions on the size of YES
sells in the Far East should Japans
naval construction exceed the treaty
limitations.
The agreements with Germany and
Soviet Russia, a British spokesman
said. will go into effect at the same

Indian Linguists Challenge
Transldti0ns of State Names

Smithsonian Institution experts on
Indian linguistic systems yesterday
challenged the commonly accepted
translation of the Indian names borne
by many States.
Alabamans, who like to think that
the name of their State was ChoctaW
for Here We Rest" were told that the
best derivation suggested that Ala
bama means "Thlcket Cutters" or
possibly Medicine Gathers
Kentucky. the experts insisted. does
not mean Dark and Bloody Ground, "
but more likely Level Country" from
the Iroquois term "Kentayenton-Ga. "
Remarking that citizens like to
fancy that their State names convey
poetical ideas, the experts contended
that the Indian was little given to eX-
ercising poetical talent in place
names. living as he did before the
days of suburban real estate develop
ment.
On the basis of latest researches.
the Smithsonian gave the following
translations:
Arizona place of the Little
Springs" or Place of the Few
Springs"
Ohio: Beautiful River" in the
sense of good for camping or fishing.
Illinois: The People from the
Algonquin root "Illini," meaning man.
Texas: Friends or Allies" from
the Hasiana word "Techas"
Dakota Feeling Friendly" from
the identical Sioux word.
Missouri: He of the Big Canoe"
not "DWellers on the Big Muddy" as
given by most dictionaries.
Minnesota: Land of the Sky-Blue

Water" from the Sioux word Mime -
meaning water. and the Sioux word
Sofa meaning clear but not per-
fectly clear
Oklahoma: "Red People" from the
ChoctaW.
Nebraska: Flat Water" from the
Sioux phrase "NibthaSca"
Wyoming: "On the Plain" from
the Delaware Indian term "MChue-
Womink,' not Field Of Blood" the
reputed meaning. That name was
applied by Pennsylvania settlers
Massachusetts: Big Hill" from
