CHINA RELIEF

A total Of $3,s71.21 has been
contributed in the campaign for
Chinese civilian relief, the District
of Columbia chapter Of the
American Red Cross announced
today. The chapter hopes to
reach its goal of $4,000 by the
end of the month.
Naval vessels Of the Asiatic
fleet have been authorized by
Admiral william D. Leahy, Act
ing Secretary of the Navy, to
transport Red Cross relief sup
plies from Shanghai, Hongkong
or Manila, to the distressed areas.
In view Of the fact that the
American committee supervising
the distribution is a volunteer
body, the chapters statement
pointed out, all funds go for
direct relief, without administra-
ton costs.
Members of the Embarrassing
committee are Charles H. Doing,
Earl A. Nash and DR.. William L.
Darby.

sede the Federal courts in
handling all such cases.
And, wonder of wonders, the
Senator who got the idea for the
new court is none other than
able, forceful Senator Logan Of
Kentucky, who was a leader in
Mr.. Roosevelt's unsuccessful con.
test for the old Supreme Court
bill.
Logan, Of course, is working
entirely independent Of Wallace
and Roosevelt, who in turn are
working independent of each
other. But If the Logan bill
should be passed, their workings
would dovetail unbelievably into
a joint success for their common
ambitions.
And some people continue to
scott at mental telepathy.

bill is s. 1915, would form a new

sacked, the cloakrooms gener-
ally award him a mule smoker.
No one Is Snickering much,
however, about the new pro-
posal Of Senator Bridges offer
ing $1,000 reward for informa-
ton concerning night providers
in senatorial offices. It will not
be adopted, but there is plenty
behind it.
Fact is, a wave of senatorial
espionage has developed. Half
q dozen Senators who do not
want their names known have
complained to Capitol police.
One Western Senator's office
has been invaded three times
recently. He knows because he
has papers in his locked desk
marked in such a way that
when they are disturbed he can
detect it.
But loudest complainant is
Senator Rush Holt. He appealed
to the Capitol police privately
for authority to deputize a man
to stay in his office. When all
thority was refused, he installed
a police dog in his office and
the dog now is nightly on guard
there. So far he has had no
bites.
Note-No one has ever been
caught ransacking a congress
sional office. Only direct reve-
lation ever made was by the
notorious CASTOR Means, who
testified before a congressional
committee he raided offices
when he was Justice Depart
ment agent.

CHICAGO, May % G.N.SO.-A
beer stein, said Alderman William
A. Rowan today, is no place for
a high collar.
The alderman announced he
was about to start a council in
vestigation of the habit Of thrifty
bartenders in topping off their
glasses of brew with too much
foam.
Foam" said the alderman,
"is nice to a certain depth but
it becomes diScouraging after
that. It also gets up your nose"
Complaints have been regis
tered, he added, that a 16-ounce
stein sometimes contains only six
ounces of drinkable beer. He hopes
an ordnance will put . stop to
the foamery.
