we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-

Obligations obligingly obviated.
Declarations dolorously ditched.

That's about the way the revised

Candid constituents can call it con-

Democratic Leader Barley predicted
the Senate could pass the farm bill
IN a week. and that the anti-lynching
measure would take another week.
That would leave the final two weeks
OF the session for the Government
reorganization bill Some Senators,
however, forecast the farm debate
would take up most of the remaining
time
A number Of legislators, eager to
obtain relaxation Of the corporate
taxes on business, still were talking
hopefully of obtaining action at this
session. But leaders discounted the
possibility. in the belief that the House
subcommittee studying the question
would not report in time
Except for the tax study, committee
activity this week has been confined
exclusively to the Presidents legis-
lative program. AS a result, once the
administration measures reach the
Senate and House floors, they will have
little competition
In the meantime, however, House
members were speaking on any sub
ject that struck their fancy, and
Southern Senators were prolonging
their filibuster against the anti-lynch-

They called on Senator Dixie Bibh
Graves, Democrat, OF Alabama to take
the floor this afternoon, barring q
decision to recess early for the week
end. Mrs. Graves. appointed by her
Governor-husband to succeed Justice
Hugo L. Black, told reporters she
opposed the bill not on constitutional
grounds, but on a practical point.

lists Given Warning.

With the overnight minimum tenn
perature expected to be several degrees
below the freezing point, the coolest
weather Of the fall season is predicted
for the Washington area tonight.
The Weather Bureau forecast rain
this afternoon, followed by snow and
much lower temperatures tonight. To-
morrow will be clear, but the cold

Taking note Of the cold spell predic-
ton the District Motor Club OF the
American Automobile Association is
sued word OF warning to motorists.
To minimize the effects Of below freez-
ing weather, the club recommended:
Be sure there is a sufficient amount
OF anti-freeze in the radiator. All
garages and service stations have
charts prescribing the correct ratio
to the capacity Of the radiator.
Replace the heavy oils used in the
summer in the transmission and diff
ferential with lighter oils. With a big
drop in the temperature, heavy oils
become stifI and will not perform eff
ficiently the task of lubricating the
gears
Have the battery checked and be
sure 1t Is sufficiently charged, since
its load in cold weather Is many times
greater than in warm weather.
Check the charging rate Of the gen.
orator.

ment.
Health Officer George c. Rutland,
whose order for the Mother Goose
mural painted by Miss Bernice Cross
to be removed precipitated such a
tempest earlier this week, had nothing
to do with the removal of the electrical
conception. DR.. Rutland made it
clear that he'd never even seen the
ceiling work in progress" The health
officer objected to the Mother Goose
painting as "grotesque."
Painting Started Year Ago.
DR.. Finucane said the Flavelle
painting had been started-although
he did not know offhand the exact
date-something over a year ago and
there was no indication it would be
completed within another year.
1T dragged on and on, month after
month" the doctor added. FINALLY
some w. P. A. art project officials
came out and We had a conference
over it, and they said to give them
four months more and the painting
would be finished. We gave them six
months, and at the end of that time
there was no indication it would be
completed in another year. We are
repainting the entire interior of the
children's building and so 1 ordered
the thing painted out. The first coat
was laid over it last week"
Russell Parr, in charge of w. P. A.
art projects, was out of town, but
William Dove, supervisor of District
projects, said he had heard of the
painting out of the electrical panel
only today and he assumed it would
be investigated.

Commissioner George E. Allen, who

has promised to have a jury of ART

|. Of SHIPS SINKING
Battle Against Sharks Is
Described by Stoker,
Visitor to D. c.

To be sucked down within knocking
distance of Davy Jones locker. to
battle sharks for 40 hours, or to have
the cold waters of the sea chill the
flesh deep as the bone are not expert
ences in life spans of most men.
But Joseph Corrie was in town today
to tell just such story after being
pulled from the Atlantic following the
sinking last Saturday of the Greek
steamer Tzenny Chandris of Cape
Henry. He was a coal-stoker on the
vessel.
His face red and peeling from the
salt water, he sat in the office of the
American Airlines and told the tale.
He's flying to New York City this after
noon to tell it to the news reels.
Began to List Badly.
Loaded to the gun'les with a cargo
OF scrap iron, the Tzenny Chandris
was blowing through mountainous
seas. The tunnels were washed awav
and she was taking the seas over her
with every wave. Gradually, she began
to list badly.
Corrie, asleep in his bunk. WAS
awakened to hear the news they were
sinking. Coming on deck, he found
the Greeks running about and shout
lng-some attempting to launch the
llfeooats, Others going over the side
with lifebelts on.
The boats on the port side. to which
sne was listing. had all been washed
away. but several remained on the
starooard. Corrie and several others
stralned every muscle to lower the
davlts, but with no success. The list
was too far and getting worse every
second. She was taking the seas badly
Couldn't Swim.
Corrle, who is IS, hated to 20 in
the water. He couldn't swim. and he
wasn't really sure she was going to
sink. He waited until every man had
gone overheard and he was left alone
Gradually the Tzenny Chandris began
to settle. Mr.. Corrie grabbed a re-
naming life preserver and leaned as
the ship sank under him.
Down, down, down, the undertow
carried him. and it was like going
around In whirlpool After what
seemed to be hours, he came to the
surface, his lungs bursting for air.
When daylight came, he found a
small stick floating near. 1t came
IN handy. Sharks began to encircle
MIN. Closer and closer thev came
and he fought them of with the stick
Ihelr fns even grazed his ankles and
legs. But he kicked his feet and
hailed his arms in the water and
sWlshed about with the stick, He kent
them away.
Two Ships Passed Him.
Two searching ships passed him
oy before the Coast Guard Cutter
Mendoza picked him up late SUNDAY
He was the last man to be found
having drifted 40 miles from the place
where the ship went down.
Today Corrie is clothed in a COM
plete new rig" new suit with a
blue handkerchief In the breast
pocket, and new shoes, and nice warm
long underwear.
HIS trip aboard the Tzenny Chandris
was his first-and last. He has two
desires right now, one negative, the
other positive.
First, he never wants to work on
another ship. And second, he wants
a good beefsteak.
You see, his upper set of false teeth
are at the bottom of the Atlantic and
he's been eating "mush" since he was
rescued. They're going to fix a set
for him in New York City tonight
