Jews from the economic life of the
Reich and eventually to remove
Jewry from the country entirely.

Secret police continued their
raids on cafes, shops, and restau-
rants, rounding up all Jews who
allegedly have failed to register
all their property in excess of
$4,000, as decreed recently by
Field Marshal Goering.
More than 1000 Jews have been
arrested in Berlin alone. Two
American newSpapermen were
taken temporarily into custody in

Detective Tells of
Death Forecast
By JAMES J. CULLINANE


James L. Lands, shortly after

the truth about his wife's death,
Detective Sergt. Robt. j. Barret
told a jury at the young ex-fire-
mans murder trial in District
Court today.
The prosecution scored a major
victory before noon when Justice
Jesse Adkins ruled that Barrett
could tell the jury of oral and
written statements made by Ian
dis after his arrest.
COERCION SOUGHT
The defendants attorneys have
battled desperately to keep these
statements from the jury, contend
ing they were wrung from him by
threats and coercion.
Lands showed little emotion as
Barrett testified.

Lands recanted an earlier story
in which he insisted he had not
left his post at the fireboat on the
night of the murder, and admitted
he had left his wife dying on the
lonely road in Northeast Wash

EARLIER STORY LIE"
HE said what he had told us
earlier was lie," Barrett re-
lated.
He said he had gone to his
Wife'S home early that morning,
blown his horn three or four
times until his wife came down
and got in the car. He said they
drove through Mt. Rainier and
Hyattsville and she seemed ex-
tremely nervous this night, al.

GUS when she went out with him
before.
HE told us she said she be-

said, his wife attempted to jump

at her but lost control of the

!75TH CONGRESS
ENDS WITH 20
BILLIONS Spent.
Was Most Costly
In Peace History
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

U.N.SO The most expensive
Congress in peacetime history Of
the country faded out of the Cap
ital today, leaving in it's wake an
array of important and expert
mental legislation that vitally af-
fects every citizen, as well as the
national economy.
Unless President Roosevelt calls
a special session this autumn
which is deemed unlikely-the
country has seen the last of the
turbulent, history-making Seven
ty-fifth Congress that came into
power on the crest of the great
Democratic landslide of 1886.
The Washington times., 1938-06-17
PRESIDENT LEAVES

The President speedily followed
Congress out of Washington. In
his departure there was no hint
Of another session before the as.
sembly of the newly-elected Con
gress next January 3. To mem
bers, it was inconceivable that the
President would summon them
back prior to the November elec.
ton.
1t was equally inconceivable
that he would call them back
after the election. for that would
be a lame-duck session, which the
Norris amendment to the Consti-
tuition was designed to abolish.
The tally-clerks on Capitol Hill
were struggling today with figures
and adding machines, seeking to
arrive at the astronomical figures
of the appropriations of the
Seventy-fifth Congress.
The appropriations Of the first
abortive session totaled just under
S, 500, ,O0O, 900. The money voted
in the session just ended amounts
to between $4,000, 100000 and
$l3, ,OOO, 100000 - depending on
whether you take Democratic or
Republican figures. In any event,
the last session was a 12-billion-
dollar session, and it lasted less
than six months.
The Washington times., 1938-06-17
PRESIDENT WINS

Thus, it might be said that the
Seventyfifth Congress is the first
"2O-billion'' Congress in the coun-
try's peacetime history, and only
slightly exceeded by the wartime
Congresses.
In the final analysis, President
Roosevelt achieved most of what
he set out to accomplish when he
addressed the opening session in
January of last year. They de-
feated him on the Supreme Court
