CONGRESS CALL
THREAT IN FALL

Q.N.S). Determined to obtain
desirable sugar and farm legiSla-
ton, high Administration officials
will urge a special session of Con-
greSS this fall unless Congress acts
on the Administration program at
this session.
This was the Interpretation
placed today on criticisms of pend
ing sugar legislation by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, and his
insiStence that no commodity loan
program would be feasible without
general farm legislation, looking
toward his ever-normal granary
plan.
Supporting the Wallace view on
sugar are at least three other Cab
met MISUNDERSTANDING Hull,
Woodring and Ickes.
Despite warnings to congress
sional leaders that veto awaited
the pending sugar bills unless they
were amended to give a better
break" to the sugar interests of
the nations insular possessions,
Congress has pushed ahead on a
sugar program which has met
with sharp denunciation ny the
Cabinet quartet who have super.
vision over the inular possessions
or are interested in their develop
ment.

Robots to Determine
Air Conditions

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. IL
G.N.s0. Records of tempera-
lures and barometric preSsureS
in the upper air regions of the
shakespeare will soon be made
by "robot weathermen," other
wise known as radio-meteor-
graphs, according to the United
States Weather Bureau.
Union Air Terminal at Bur
bank is one Of the first stations
selected by the bureau for one
years experimental work with
these new weather recording de-
vices. Inauguration Of the Sys-
tenn is planned by officials to
start September /.
A acknowledgement has the
usual barometer and thermome-
ter gauges used in weather re-
cording, but which have a me-
chanical attachment to transfer
the readings to a small, compact
radio transmitter inclosed in the
unit.
The signals sent out by the
robots tranSmitter are intercept
ed by ground receiving set. In
receiving, the incoming radio
impulses are transferred into a
message on a ticket tape in a
manner similar to teletypewrit-
erS.
The robots go aloft suspended
to a gas balloon, which will
burst when the air becomes too
rarified. When that occurs, a
small parachute is released and
the robot floats back to earth.

PLAN FOR BRIDGE
is APPROVED BY
ALEXANDR
'SkyWay' Span G cts
City Heads OK.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. II.
Clerk Purvis Taylor today notified
Virginia representatives in Con.
greSs and the State Port Author
ity Of the City Councils unani-
nous endorsement of the Federal
project for construction Of a SKY
way" bridge across the Potomac
from Alexandria to Congress
Heights.
In the communications, the
Council urged Senators Byrd and
Glass, Representative Howard w.
Smith and w. A. Cox, director Of
the State Port Authority, to lend
all possible support toward pass
age Of the bill of Representative
Schultz of Indiana, which pro-
videS for a $4,000 appropriation
for completion of a survey of the
proposed bridge not later than
February /, 1888.
Study Is Cited
The Schultz bill, now before the
House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, was intro
duced after Government agencies
had determined that Alexandria
was the logical Virginia terminus
for the bridge that is needed to di-
vert through traffic around the
city Of Washington, Mayor e. C.
Dawson told members of the coun.
Gil.
In its resolution unanimously
endorsing the bill, the City Coun.
Gil directed City Manager e. c.
Dunn and City Engineer H. G.
Mccartney to cooperate with the
U. s. Army Engineering Corps in
whatever investigation, survey and
report is authorized by Congress.
High Level Plan
Although the bill proposes that
the bridge be constructed at or
near King Street here, city Off.
cialS believe that a more suitable
terminus can be found from the
waterfront buff at Lee or Wolfe
Streets. Plans are to build the
bridge high enough to avoid the
necessity Of q draw bridge for
river traffic.
Mayor Davidson, in introducing
the resolution to approve the
bridge project, also stated that it
has been planned as a link in the
country's national defense chain.
He pointed out that it would make
the eastern shore and southern
parts Of Maryland more accessible.

ing the MIRA wages ever since.

What we are wondering is why he doesn't
spread this $1OOOOOO over his employees in the

deal in any specific figure Why doesn't he double

Seeing America Last By Helen Esa,y

"see, madam, from here you get a good view of
the bridges"
The saleswoman in the dress store remarked
while we fingered wool dress:
What pity the fog has come in and you can't
see the bridges this afternoon"
All the life and hopes of this splendid city cen.
ter around the bridges.
Finds New Thrill
When I arrived in San Francisco I'd seen so
much. I'd enthused over this aggressive new
Western world until thought I was weary of
beauty. But that was before I had seen the
bridges.
First saw the Golden Gate Bridge, the longest
suspension bridge in the world, sweeping its
lacquer red arches across the blue waters of the
Golden Gate. It's pylons were tipped with white
fog. High above the sea, its long, unbroken span
was silhouetted against the mountains of the
mainland.
In the grace Of line there was both lightness
and strength Here was no work of worrying,
sweating man, but great thing that had sprung
complete and perfect from the same power that
created the hills and the waves and the Clouds
Automobiles whizzed down the broad traffic
lanes If you watched carefully you could see
the mile-long span swaying in the strong winds,
blowing in from the Pacific. The color the form,
the whole superb achievement was breathtaking.
do you wonder we like it?" said our guides
"And now" with further pride in their voices,
well show you the Oakland Bridge"
The Oakland Bridge connects San Francisco
with Oakland by spanning the San Francisco
Bay. It is not Chinese red, like the Golden Gate
Bridge, but soft gray that melts into the clouds
and mountains when the fog is in.

ported burglars entered his home
in the $500 block Of Hoban Road,

tering all previous records for es-

A number of the departments.
particularly the school SYSTEM

that they need several million
dollars each for expansion and
improvements. They point out dur.
ing recent depression years needed

To carry the current budget Of
$4,000, 900 an increased taxation
program Of 100000 was neces-
Sary. This budget was compiled
from estimates totaling $58,000.-
