Senators aren't the only persons
who like to talk.
During a heated debate on the
floor of the Senate the other day,
dormen and police were forced
to restrain a bearded gentleman
who insisted futilely that he
should be allowed to go into the
gallery and tell the Senate a thing
or two. He said he wanted to put
them on their feet"
The gentleman in question was
Azel G. Manning, of Benson, N
c., who declared he was a messen
ger from God to the Senate. Pre-
viouSly he had gone to Senator
Henry Fountain AshurSt at meet
ing Of the Judiciary Committee to
give him a message on the Su
preme Court.
Although he was not allowed to
make his speech in the Senate
he talked a long time with a
group Of Senate attaches in the
corridor outside of the chamber
He said that he often cured the
fits Of his friends and that if any
one was bothered with fits and
would say:
Preacher, pray for me-"
The fits would stop right away

When April rains make flowers bloom

So fair, and yet it breathes of pain.

Sprang from rich and sacred soil

Open Discussion

TrHE hearings which two subcommittee of the House
District Committee are scheduled to start jointly
TODAY offer the first opportunity for open and free
examination of the report of the Presidents advisory
committee on fiscal relations between the Federal and
District governments.
The District subcommittee of the House Appropra-
tons Committee studied the report time ago and
examined those who prepared it. but that examination
was conducted behind closed doors and interested citi-
zens of the District barred by the custom which
makes appropriation hearings executive.
So the hearings which start today will give Wash
ngtonians an opportunity to present their views on
the report and to hear those who prepared it defend
what many of us believe to be its indefensibe recon-
mendations.
Members of Congress and residents of the Capital
generally were hopeful when the so-caed Jacobs COM
mittee was appointed that it would solve this long de-
bated problem Of the Federal share IN financing the
Federal city.
The committee with its report, however, has simply
added fuel to the fire which was already blazing high.
In effect the group cast aside all previously held no.
tons that the Federal Government through having es
tabshed this city for the specific purpose Of serving as
the National Capital had definite and clear responsi
bity to assist in the development of the city for that
purpose.
It threw out the window any idea Of the Federal Gov
ernmen as the representative of all the people, trying
to develop here a city which would be monument to
the glory of the Nation.
It reduced what is truly important national discus
sion to haggng over the amount that the Washington
taxpayer should pay for the employment of or two
clerks in the Federal Bureau Of the Budget to supervise
local budget which should not be sent to the bureau
anyway.
By examining the report of the Jacobs group in detail
and by questioning the members Of the group to the
method by which they formulated the report the House
subcommittee will undoubtedly to the same con-
clusion reached by many others who have given the
report attention-that contribution to discussion
of genuine problem it is worthless.
The inability of the Jacobs committee to reach any
worthwhile conclusion the subject Of fiscal relations,
however, does not detract from the urgency Of solving
that problem
AS LONG AS THE PROBLEM EXISTS IN ITS
PRESENT FORM 1T IS ENDANGERING THE AD-
VANCEMENT OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AND
IS THREATENING TO DESTROY A CITY TO
WHICH THE ENTIRE NATION WANTS TO LOOK
WITH PRIDE.

COUNTY AGENT WARNS
AGAINST PLANT LICE

Due to weather conditions, quite a
number of plants, including perennial
peas, rose bushes, are being attacked
by aphids or plant lice at the pres
ent time. Numerous requests have
come to the County Agents attention
for control measures against this
green insect, which feeds on the I'M
der side of the leaf and the tender
young shoots.
Since this is a sucking insect, it
is not possible to poison them, but
they must be killed with a contact
sprayer. Aphids may be killed by US
ing a mixture of 1 ID teaspoonfuls
nicotine BLACK Leaf 40) to 1 gallon
of water. Add 1 ounce of soap to
each gallon, as this helps make the
solution adhere to the insect. If a
larger quantity is desired use one
fourth pint nicotine to 25 gallons of
water, with 1 pound of some naptha
soap dissolved in the water.
In order to control aphids with
this spray it is necessary to hit their
bodies and a thorough application
must be quickly made. Spray as Of
ten as the insect appears.

Wealthy Farmer

 Murdered Today

 WALLA WALLA, April 23rd- Frank Dooley, aged 46, wealthy farmer and member of a pioneer family, was found dead Thursday in the garage of Marvin Evans, on a ranch seven miles northeast of here. Upon examination it was determined that bullets were fired at close range from thirty eight caliber revolver, and had entered the temple, abdomen and chest. Deputy District Attorney E. w. King said that none of the bullets could have been self in- flicted. He was dead several hours when found, after failing to ap- pear home. Dooley owned the ranch at Prescott and farmed by Evans, to which place he had gone Wednesday night.

some Asiatc tribes.
 Also discovered were harpoon and arrow heads, fish lines of Whalebone, fragments of clothing cooking utensils, combs, awls, needles, ceremonial masks and even toys. The toys, officials said, are most interesting, being carv- ed out of bone in minute imita- tion of boats and animals.
 Find Point of Origin
 The mounds were of good size, the expedition reported, one of them being eight feet in depth. The digging process was extreme ly slow it was said, because the frozen soil thawed only a few inches each day.
 The archeologists are believed by the Geographic to have un- covered the first site of the old Eskimo Thule Culture" ever to be found in Alaska. Thule culture was a stage of development just prior to the civilization reached when white men first found the Eskimos. It is characterized pretty definitely by certain types of tools, weapons and art objects Geographic officials explained.
 Thule culture spread over the entire Arctic as far east as Green land, ,and while it has been known for some time to have existed in those regions, the new finds, the Geographic thinks, confirms the important archaeological fact that it spread eastward from Alaska.
 Strangely enough, the Society points out, many of the proofs of this ancient culture were found in a mound previously uncovered by pr. Diamond Jenness of the Museum of Canada, first explorer to make systematic excavations in Alaska.
 More Recent Mounds e In the mound MT Jenness had abandoned the expedition dug up evidence that Thule Culture was derived from still earlier stage of life known as Birnirk Culture. This Birnirk age, according to the Geographic report, once flour ished in the region surrounding Point Barrow,
 In successive layers downward, the expeditions excavators found arrow heads gradually changing from the Thule style to that of the Birnirk type. Two miles

Prehistoric Armor Of Eskimos Goes
 To Museum
ESKIMO FROM CAPE PRINCE OF WALES
 BEING SENT-POINT OF ORIGIN FOUND-SEV- MOUNDS OF LATER DATE
(By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, D. C., (AP)- A shipment of ancient Eskimo armor, worn in battles in prehis- toric Alaska, thousands of years ago, along with many articles of household use unearthed in the Far" North are now installed here, the National Geographic Society has announced.
 The shipment includes much that adds greatly to the myster- ious history of Alaska in the times before white men began to jot down history the Geographic says. Plans are now being made to exhibit the discoveries here.
 The relics of prehistoric "civil- ization" were unearthed during last summer near Cape Prince of Wales, westernmost point of the North American continent by a joint expedition of the Geogra- phic and the Smithsonian Institu tion under the direction of Henry B. Collins, Jr., of the Smithson- ian. Chief assistants were James Ford, of Louisiana State Univer- sity and Harrison Pride of Wash ington, D. C.
 Bone for ArmOr
 The party found weapons, tools and household articles which had been preserved for centuries in the perpetually frozen Alaskan soil and which furnish valuable new knowledge of two ancient Eskimo cultures of Alaska and fill in many gaps in the history of the ancestors of the modern Es- kimo.
 The armor, which was uncover ed in mounds of ancient rubbish accumulated over long periods from villages long since abandon ed, was made of slats of bone, the Geographic says, and is sim liar to the slat armor used by
