other. And there's no man can tel
them nothin'." He sighed heavily.
Mr.. stump. fearful Of advancing q
/ step without permission, stood rooted tc
che stones. and waited. The hot silence
was broken only by the drone Of the
! blowflies.
Starved out and befuddled with the
heat, muttered Nike Brent again
"GOld-Gold-" His voice fell away
] 20 q whisper, and he stared down the
hot vista Of the Diggings until q chok-
I ing cough from Mr.. Stump broke his
reYerie.
@Get goin'," he ordered, returning
to his old curtneSs We've had enough
prospectin' for today"
Mr.. Stump reached his camp In a
state close TO collapse It was already
nightfall The family were cleaning up
a chicken stew. The coffee pot was
sti1 bubbling. These evidences Of &C
tive foragtng during the day brought
forth no comment from Mr.. Stump. He
ate his dinner mechanically. He was
too tired TO know what he ate. It might
have been wood-rat stew and he would
not have cared.
He kicked up a pile OF pine needles,
and stretched himself out on them.
Every muscle in his body ached, every
bone was sore. He tried TO sleep, but
each time he closed his eyes he saw
the two men lying out stark in the
moonlight with the blowflies over them,
and he shuddered into wakefulneSs
again.
The night was long. Pale patches OF
moonlight stole through the dark
cedars. Dry branches cracked. He
could hear the gurgle Of the stream
below. and the movement Of life around
him-the rustic Of small feet In the
dry leaves, the flutter Of a bats wings,
a splash in the water. But all through
the night his ears strained for one
sound he could not forget, the buzz
OF the blowflies down in the Diggings.
The next morning. at daybreak, the
Stump car piled high with Mike Brent's
blankets, russell pears. somebody's dead
and Sumps.

Mrs. Stump on the knee.
We're off, kids" said Mrs. Stump to |
the three children in the back seat.
A lark's trill announced the rising
sun. A light wind brought q few pine /
needles down like a benediction Mr.. /
Stump threw the car into gear, and the /
Sumps moved on.

MADDEN DENIES
BURKE CHARGES

QNSJ. j. Warren Madden,
chairman of the National Rela-
tions Board, today prepared a de-
nial of charges of maladministra-
ton voiced before a Judiciary sub
committee by Senator Burke CD of
Nebraska, to substantiate his de-
mands for an investigation.
Madden will appear before the
committee when hearings on the
Burke investigation resolution are
resumed Thursday. AS Burke con-
cluded his testimony Madden said
he would welcome" an investiga-
tion, but added it would be incon-
venient due to the heavy schedule
Of work before the board.
Meanwhile members of the com.
mittee argued over whether the
Judiciary Committee would have
jurisdiction over such an investi-
cation. Senator Norris Cd of
Nebraska, heads a group which be-
lieves such an inquiry would come
under the jurisdiction of the La
Dor Committee, which passed on
legislation creating the board.
Burke, however, insisted that be-
cause the board acts in a quasi
judicial capacity the investiga-
ton should be carried out by the
Judiciary Committee, if his reso-
luton is approved by the Senate.
The resolution charges the board
showed favoritism toward the CIO,
and rendered prejudiced decisions.

SEN, SHEPPARD

GN.s) Dean of Congress, Sen
ator Morris Sheppard, of Texar-
kama, Tex, today celebrated the
anniversary of his twenty-fifth
consecutive year in the Senate.
And like other anniversaries
throughout his long public career,
Senator Sheppard spent it at his
desk working. Except for the con-
Igratulations from his colleagues
and the pile of messages on his
desk there was nothing to indicate
that the Senator had passed an
other milestone in public service.
He entered the House of Repre-.
sentatives in 1902 to fill the un.
expired term Of his father.
Approaching tliis slsixty third
birthday, Sheppard picked Presi-
dent Wilson'S World war message
to Congress, and President Roose.
Ivelt's first inaugural address to the
nation, as the most dramatic and
eventful incidents in his years
in Congress.

EUrLe's Coal
PLUnDenied
Support

(1NSO The proposal of Gov
ernor George H. Earle for national
ization of the anthracite Goa
mines of Pennsylvania will not
receive support from the Roosevelt
administration, an informed
source said today.
Instead, the Administration is
expected to consider carefully the
Guffey.Boland bill for stabilization
of the hard coal industry along
the lines of the Vinspn-Guffey act
for the bituminous industry.
Apparently regarding the ma.
tionalization proposal as something
to be considered in the distant fu.
ture, both Senator Guffey and Rep,
resentative Boland are planning
to renew efforts for action on their
stabilization bill.
An appeal will be made to the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee to start hearings on the meas
ure when the tax bill is passed.
Guffey and Boland plan to ask
President Roosevelt to support the
Boland bill placing a tax of i
cent gallon on fuel oil, competing
with coal.

National Capital.
Mr.. Straus announced the allo.
cation late yesterday and the
money will be administered by the
District Alley Dwelling Authority
of which John Ihlder is the execu-
tive officer.
The Districts Authority has
asked for nearly 100000 for
clearing alleys and building new
homes for alley dwellers, but there
is a disagreement as to whether
the fund under Mr.. Straus' admin
istration can be allocated to the
District of Columbia, the status
of which is differen, from that
of the States.
However, the President cut
through the legal misunderstand-
ing with a million dollars, al
though it is understood the Presi-
dent believes Congress should
enact additional laws to authorize
him to allocate money to the Dis
trict as he allocates it to the
larger cities of the States.
The million dollars allocated
will be used to carry on the alley
clearing program already started
by Mr.. Ihlder in the District and
which has been hampered by lack
of funds.

ate, Majority Leader Barley OF
Kentucky declared. If the anti.

the farm bill as reported it will
be laid ASIDE for action on the
farm DILL, he said.
TALKED TO DEATH
Satisfied they have talked the
antilynching bill to death, Dixie
Senators said they would make a
motion, probably after the housing
bill is disposed Of, to shelve the
antilynching bill.
eff the Senate refuses to bury
the antilynching bill which is as
dead as a dooo, we will have to
resume oIrr demonstration that
it cannot become law" warned
Senator Tom Connally CD Of
Texas. floor manager for the
filibusterers.
Behind closed doors he con-
ferred with his chief lieutenants
today on strategy. They were still
short the necessary number Of
votes to lay aside the antilynch.
ing bill. but confidently declared
they would have enough next
week.
WARNING GIVEN
There were hints that foes of
the bill may prolong debate on the
housing bill report for two or
three days, with a view to i'm.
pressing proponents Of the anti
lynching bill that their measure
cannot reach a vote.
Likewise, there were intimations
the farm bill report also would be
thoroughly" debated, If neces.
sary, to push the antilynching
bill further into the growing jam
of legislation awaiting Senate
action.
With not a single major piece OF
legislation enacted into law during
either the emergency session OF
last fall or during the present
regular session, Administration
leaders served notice they were
not going to play ball" much
longer with the wagner.van Nuys
forces supporting the antilynching
bill.
REFUSE TO ACT
In ia t, Administration chief,
tains declined to resume night
sessions or invoke parliamentary
weapons any longer in an effort
to smash the filibuster. They con.
ceded a vote on the bill is i'm
roossihle in view of the adanoant
