Baby Gator Thrown
Into Roosevelt Car
As Gift From Scout

An unscheduled episode in the
Presidents review of Boy Scouts
today had the Secret Service wor-
ried for a moment. As the Presi-
dent passed the Florida con-
tingent one of them dashed out
toward his car. Several Secret
Service men thrust themselves
between him and the President,
but not before the Scout had
tossed a package into the car.
Mrs. Roosevelt received it and
placed 1t in her lap.
The package was found to con-
tain a baby alligator, wrapped in
a newspaper. 1t had been brought
all the way from Florida by ]. T.

Driue,cays to Go
At White House
Roads tn Rear to Be
Made Wider and
Straighter.

The narrow. winding driveways in
the rear grounds Of the White House
are to be replaced with wider, straighter
roads.
President Roosevelt invariably uses
the rear entrances to the White House
and it has long since been discovered
that the old driveways, dating from
the horse-and-buggy days, are too
narrow and too circuitous for auto
mobiles. The President recently ap-
proved plans for building the new
roadways. widening the entrance at
the south sateways and erecting new
stone gateposts and ornamental IRON
work.
The Improvements. which will cost
about $4,000, will be financed by the
Roads and Trails Division of the Ma
tlonal Park Service. The work, to be
done under direction of the Bureau
OF Public Roads, began yesterday and
will be completed in October. To make
way for the improvements it will be
necessary to transplant four or five
OF the large trees in the grounds as

WAGE-H0UR PLAN
Labor Group Fixes Highest
Minimum Pay at 40 Cents,
Work Week at 40 Hours.

Since demise of N. r. A., naoe
and hour standards for industry
hare udried uidely.
In effort to stabilize and improve
these and other uorking conditions.
administration leaders seuerol
reeks ago submitted omnibus labor
standards bill.
Joint hearings by Senate and
House committees brought opposi-
t1on from industry and qualified
support from labor.
By the Associated Press.
The Senate Labor Committee ap-
proved an amended Black-Connerv
wage and hour bill today. The
amendments would permit an admin
htrative board to fix minimum wages
no higher than 40 cents an hour ano
A maximum work week of not less
thar. 40 hours
The committee voted to strike from
the original bill provision permitting
a proposed labor standards board tc
flx fair" wages and hours above the
level at which collective bargaining
was deemed inadequate.
It was this provision to which many
spokesmen for industry objected most
strenuously. John L. Lewis, chairman
OF the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, also had opposed it.
Tariff Hearings Provided For.
Chairman Black said the bills re-
quirements on minimum wages would
prevent the board from fixing mini
NUNS below the prevailing rate in the
affected community No wage and
hour standards would be fixed except
after hearing
Prohibitions against Oppressive
labor practices, such as espionage and
strike breaking were stricken from the
bill. Black said the committee felt
those subjects could be dealt with
through the Wagner act.
The committee adopted a proposal
by Senator Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana and others that the Tariff
Commission be empowered to investi-
gate differences in production cost be-
tween domestic and foreign producers
as q result of the bill and to de-
termining whether tariff increases
should be made.

nornet-llke attack made by the opposi-
ton during the speeches Of supporters
of the bill.

The growing bitterness came to a
mead today when Senator Logan of
Kentucky, during debate, said that
Senator Wheeler in opposing the Presi-
dents court bill had turned his back
upon all the liberal things and liberal
friends for which he had stood before.
Wheeler Immediately countered with

to point of order. He said that un-
der the rules of the Senate Senator
who holds the floor may yield for a
question and may not yield to an
other Senator who makes a speech
without losing the floor himself.
Senator Tydings of Maryland sug-
gested that the chair. Pittman of

ruling on this point of order, since
Senator Wheeler had been criticized
by Senator Logan and should be en-
titled to make reply.

said, "it will be enforced against

might have with respect to other men,
bers of the Roosevelt family, Secretary

Only after long argument did the

That vote was said bv committee
members to have been 7 to S. Earlier
the committee turned down, 6 to S, a
motion that Fish be required to pre-
sent written proof Of his charges.
mo Grounds"
Chairman Doughton said members
of the Republican minority Joined
Democrats on the committee in decid-
Ing against bringing the President into
the investigation.
THE minority members" Doughton
announced. "all agreed there should
be no reference to the President and
that there were no grounds or justifica-
ton for bringing in tn President In
any way"
Representative Treadway, Republic
an, Of Massachusetts, said he and Rep
resentative Crowther, Republican, of
New York, had taken the position all
along that Fish should leave the
President out"
He is President of the United
States" Treadway said, and there
should be a certain respect to the
office"
In public statements, Fish had said
ne had proof the President had taken
tax deductions for farm losses" on
his estate at Hyde Park, N. Y, and
his property at Warm Spring, Ga.
To Make Statement.
The President told newsmen his
estate was a forestry project and he
expected to make profits later from
1t through sale of Christmas trees.
Fish said he was ready to present
photostatic evidence that the Presi-
dent had admitted using tax avoid
ance methods and that he would
make it public, either through the
press, or In the House, If the COM
mittee would not let 1t 60 into its
records
He will be given half an our to-
morrow to make an uninterrupted
statement and then must submit to
cross-examination.
He said he would mention at least
four members Of the Presidents
family.
No Mention of President.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Of
Mississippi said he was opposed to
permitting Fish to exploit his
charges" but that he made the mo-
tion, which was defeated, which would
have required him to submit docu-
mentary proof.
my idea," Harrison said, "is that
persons who bring charges against
other persons ought to have proof and
not base them on rumors or other
things not substantiated."
Treadway said he had made the
motion that Fish be heard, including
the specific provision that no men,
ton should be made Of the Chief
Executive.
Fish, he said, agreed to that pro-
cedure.
