The Oil Bill Joke

THE origin of the joker in the
i babassu oil bill may now be
disclosed. The blanket author
ization for the Commerce Secre-
tary to find out the inside about
any or every business in the
country every 30 days was writ
ten by a clerk in the Census
Bureau. He also wrote the pro-
vision levying q maximum 81 1000
fine upon those failing to CO.
operate. ... .. 3r.
The idea came from the
Budget Bureau. It was recon-
mended to DR.. Vergil Reed, head
Of the Census Bureau, in order
to save time in getting authori.
cations from Congress for spe-
cific census Investigations. like
the one now contemplated on
the vegetable oil and red shingles
industries. The Census Bureau
does not expect the Commerce
Secretary will want it to 60 into
all business because the unex-
pended balances Of census ap-
preparations would not be suf-
ficient for that purpose this
year.
This explains how the joker
got into the babassu oil, but
not how it remained, concealed
there when the House passed
what appeared on its face to be
only a minor vegetable oil bill.
The Washington times., 1938-04-22

Senate Commerce Chairman
Copeland is holding the bill up.
Even his committee did not at
first notice the joker possibili-
ties in the blanket authorize
ton for going into any and all
business.
The joker undoubtedly will be
eliminated as it might cost bust
ness millions Of dollars a yea
to satisfy the statistical WhinS
Of the Commerce Secretary.
Byrd, Roosevelt Adviser
FVEN though they are not
~ friends, Virginia Senator
Byrd should be listed hereafter
as an adviser to the President.
A year ago when Byrd got
authorization from the Senate
to investigate reorganization of
the Government, the President
appropriated the idea and ap.
pointed his own Brownlow Com
mlttee for the same purpose.
Now after Byrd succeeded in
getting the Senate judiciary
Committee to approve his con-
stitutional amendment to abol.
1Sh the taX-eXempt bond Situa-
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt is proposing
a milder plan to abolish the
exemptions in the future only.
Apropos of Henry Ford being
invited to the White House, the
President has lately been frater-
nizing even with Republicans.
At the last White House din
ner, he insisted on having Re-
publican Senator Townsend on
one side and Republican Sen.
ator Hale on the other. Aides
tried to break in, but the PreSi-
dent kept his political oppon-
ents at hand from dessert, until
the musicale began.
One suppoSition was that he
had not seen a Republican in a
long time and wanted to find
out what they looked like. AM
other was, the Democrats have
been buzzing around him like
bees around the hive since he
proposed that Congress give
him five billions more Sweeten.

BOYS DERBY CAR
HAS KNEE ACTION
Harold S. Norton, Jr., Uses
Bowling Ball as Part of
Steering Mechanism.

Knee-action wheels and shock ab-
sorbers may be equipment intended
primarily for real automobiles, but at
least one builder Of Soap Box Derby
racer has included these two features
in the building Of his car.
However, Harold 8. Norton, tr., Of
421 Turner street, Chevy Chase, Nd,
the builder Of the car with the mod
ern improvements, regarded the de-
tails of his construction schemes as
his own property, and at first was un-
willing to have his car photographed.
The 15-year-old Derby entrant finally
relented, however, and consented to .
display Of his plan.
The knee action on Harold's racer
comes from bowling ball built in as
part Of the steering mechanism and
operating like a ball-and-socket joint
In addition to easy steering with q
wide turning radius, Harold has pro-
vided his car with the quality of easy
riding. Small pieces of rubber to be
placed at strategic and unrevealed
places will give the car some Of the
advantages Of shock absorbers.
Harold, who bought his wheels and
axles with money earned from an
early-morning bread truck route and
an Evening Star delivery route, is one
of the boys who has taken advantage
Of the opportunity to work in one Of
the manual training shops made avail
able during the summer to Soap Box
Derby entrants. He is building his car
at the Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School shop.
The Community Center Department
yesterday announced the opening to
Derby racer builders Of the shops at
Eliot, Jefferson, Powell and Macfar-
land junior high schools from 10 am.

that vast section of the country still
under Chinese control will observe the
first anniversary Of the present Sino-
Japanese war on July z, at the ex-
press command Of the Chang Kai-
shek government.
All towns, cities, villages and ham,
lets have been asked to Join in the
observance, with all classes observing
three minute silence, and all amuse-
ment centers closed for the day. After
July all Chinese passing a war me-
mortal will be asked to remove their
hats as silent tribute to the men who
have fallen. All Chinese who have
gold in their possession are being re-
quested to donate it to the state war
fund
July Z, unlike whole host Of Chi
nese holidays, is not to be one of the
countless Humiliation days. but is to
signalize one year of successful resist
ance and further Tightening Of
belts for what the Hankow government
believes to be the last and final round
Of the campaign. AS part Of this ma
tional observance every town and vii
lage has been asked to lay the founda-
ton stone for war memorial.
In conquered Chinese territory there
are to be dag-raising ceremonies, visits
to wounded japanese soldiers, oficial
expressions Of coincidence for the de-
ceased and encouragement Of Japa-
nese troops fighting to rid China Of
Communism and to cement the ties Of
friendship between China and her
stalwart neighbor, Japan"

to be blaming Mrs. Moody for finish
ing Miss Jacobs of so quickly. think
this is unfair. It was the only thing
to do under the circumstances"
Mrs. Wightman revealed that when
she had walked on the court to talk
to Miss Jacobs In the second set,
it had not been to ask the latter to
quit, but whether or not she wanted
the bandage removed
what can do?'" Mrs. Wight
man quoted Miss Jacobs as saying.
IT have to go on"
Crowd Argues Heatedly.
While play in the other divisions
went on, the crowd was arguing heat
edly over Mrs. Moody's victory.
Mrs. Moody was being severely
criticized for making no gesture to
allow Miss Jacobs to rest It was re-
called that when Mrs. Moody injured
her back In their Forest Mills battle,
Miss Jacobs had offered to hold up
play and let her rest.
Miss Jacobs herself said Mrs. Moody
had done the right thing in getting
the match over as quickly as possible.
II think Helen did the right thing, p"
she said. "She hit shots that I
couldn't possibly get and I agree the
only wise thing to do was to get II
over as soon as possible.
when the match was over, Helen
said too bad That's all she said, but
please don't rub that in.
Had Been Confident.
II am more sorry about this than
anything in my life. I did want to
make a match Of 1t and I felt until
my ankle snapped that had a good
chance.
II don't mean by that that I thought
the result was foregone conclusion
but I was absolutely confident that I
was playing as well as I can-however
well that is"
MY doctor explained that this en-
tire injury was due to the original
shoulder injury which I suffered before
the Wightman cup Matches" Miss
JACODS COIlCluueQ.
He says it was due to trying to
save my shoulder that I put undue
strain on my right leg.
Il felt it first at the end Of my match
with Alice Marble on Thursday, and I
had 1t treated that night.
II really injured it yesterday while
practicing with Bill Tilden, and I had
it bandaged last night and again to-
day before went out"

Miss Jacobs explained just when it
was that her ankle first gave her rea!
trouble today. It happened In the

There isn't any difference at all.
Il hope to play at Forest Hills next
month.
Il am leaving for America in about
two weeks. Tomorrow Ill make up
my mind whether to go to ireland
first"
Seems Coldly Happy.
Mrs. Moody remained in her dress
ing room an hour and a half-long
after the white-faced Miss Jacobs
had limped out.
Mrs. Moody seemed coldly happy.
Sitting in an Office below the center
court and looking-though this was
carefully concealed if she had
been crying, Miss Jacobs said:
you can tell them back home that
I am going to win my second Wimble-
don title yet.
You know, Helen's a wonderful
player. I hope some day I'll get to
play her again. I am sorry If people
think she did wrong in not giving me
q rest. I went and told her so, too"
Miss Jacobs said she definitely would
play at Forest Hills. She sails for the
United States on the Georgia July 8.
Prior to the Moody-Jacobs match,
Alice Marble of San Francisco and
Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan Of Brook
line, Mass, won the women's doubles
title, defeating the defending cham
pions, Nine. Rene Matthew Of France
and Adeline (Billy) Yorke Of England,
