with patronage plums or spend
lend pork. If there was any OF
that, it has become unusually
hard to find. The President in
sisted on the legislation all right,
but his legislative plumber, son
James, certainly left no monkey
wrencheS lying around.
Other Explanations
A NUMBER of other technical
"A explanations are being Of
fered. For instance: exemptions
granted farmers brought in
some Western votes. The absence
of Southern differentials cor
rallied some New Englanders.
But all these things fail to eX-
plain a change of 119 votes.
Another more comprehensive
explanation is offered in what
may be called the private con-
feSSion of a conservative South
ern Democrat who voted for the
bill.
The story of his reasoning
transcends the Importance OF
the legislation itself and seems
to disclose a peculiar inside legiS-
lative situation.
His deduction is that a large
number Of Congressman, like
himself, have become discour-
aged with Mr.. Roosevelt's per.
sistance on this and some other
popular issues, and see no way
out except to let him find out
that, like MIRA, they won't work.
Doubts Legality
ar DINARILY, says this
" authority, the House passes
a bill because a majority thinks
it is good bill. The wage-hour
bill got many a conservative
vote for the opposite reason.
Says he:
IT voted for the bill, but I
think there is less than an even
chance that it is constitutional.
The proposed regulation Of a
local business like a laundry
merely because it buys soap in
an interstate market will not
stand the first test in any
court, packed or unpacked.
Second I know it won't
work. It cannot be enforced.
It cannot even be applied. If
the Administration tries to ap-
ply, it, Congress will be back
here within six months to
amend the act and try to make
it workable.
However, the time has come
to try out some of these po-
litical stunts. It may be a
little hard on business, but
there is nothing else to do"
If this is widely true, 1t
means Congress is being pushed
back into the situation prevail
ing early in the New Deal
when even the more thoughtful

Smudges on Mary Brown S
CIothinq Ana|yzed

A chemical analysis Of the mud
smudges on the tattered clothing
worn by Mary Brown when she
staggered into her home last Thurs
day night, after being held captive
for more than 80 hours by three
kidnapers, was being made in Bal
tilnore today in an effort to uncover
clue leading to the solution of the
battling case.
Investigation of reports on the
whereabouts of the abductors' hide
out and automobiles used in the
kidnapping continued, meanwhile,
under the direction of Maj. Elmer
F. Munshower, superintendent of
Maryland State Police. None of
the leads has proved of any value.
The 16-year-old victim was re-
ported improving today after she
suffered slight relapse at her home
yesterday. She is still confined to
her bed.
