NeW heCOIuSs Washington, May 10.-The federal government in recent years had sought to follow the Biblical injunc- ton to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. But it sometimes has to draw the line.
 A letter came to the Forest Serv- ice the other day from a society with headquarters in New York asking all possible information as to the planting and care of fig trees.
 Inquiry showed that the society was a nudist colony.
 The request was turned over to the Bureau of Plant Industry, which replied that it wouldn't ad- wise anyone to try raising fig trees and other tropical fruits in an area so far north. An employe who believes the i1- cident should be noted in the For est Service bulletin, has written il up with the caption "When mud ist camp writes in for information on raising fig trees, that's news"
 
 Apology in Verse Federal Housing Administrator Stewart Mcdonald wrote a letter tc H. E. Hoagland, member of the Fed eral Home Loan Bank board. A stenographic error caused the lette, to be addressed to "Horable H. E Hoagland" and the recipient, whc knows his phonetics, wrote back that T am at loss to understand what act or acts of mine have gain ed me the title you give me in the enclosed letter."
 Whereupon Mcdonald apologized in five carefully 'worded verses, of which a couple will give you the general ideS:
 Dear Sir: I have your letter.
 "Of April the eighth just past;
 And I think that had better,
 Make amends and make them
 "It was just a typist's error,
 "An elision quite unmeant,
 And I hope that you'll be
 "Than to think it my intent"
 There is practically no threat, however, that this sort of thing will become common in government cor reS00ndencp

Steel Export Breaks Records

Congressional interest in the steel and scrap iron export situation was considerably whetted by govern ment figures showing that March broke an eight-year record for un- finished steel exports, and that the export of 362,249 tons of scrap iron and steel broke all records for a single month. While the export of more than 100000 tons of new steel was only about four per cent Of the national production, and therefore not a great factor, the tremendous export of scrap makes good fuel for the fire Senator Schwellenbach IS building under that trade.

A Legislative BOttleneck

More than irritation is becoming evident in congress at the prolonged session. It may turn out to be one of the things that will affect the fate of the Presidents Supreme Court packing plan. For present prospects make it appear that con- gress may sit far into the summer or even early autumn.
 Thus far little of nothing has
 been done except to pass neutral ity legislation that completely
 satisfied nobody. The court plan has become an absolute legislative
 bottleneck, leaving the bulk of the the real work of the session to be done after it is disposed of.
 Meanwhile, the president goes fishing, leaving congress to stew in judicial juice. Irritation with the de- lay and desire to get it over with may sway few senate votes more than senators would like to admit.
