Session Of Congress May Well Be Known
As Second War of the Rebellion

When the relief bill was up, q
Southern Representative, Woodrum
OF Virginia, led the same combina-
ton in obtaining an investigation
OF w. P. A. The result was that
many of the so-called "ultra-lib-
eral" features of w. P. A., such as
the Federal theater, went out. Re-
strictive features were written in
and polished of both in the House
and Senate.
Another Virginian, Representative
Smith, succeeded in winning House
approval for an investigation of
the Labor Board, which has been
anathema to many Southern in
dustrialists. Again the core of his
support was from the South.
Housing, Wages, Security.
The administration request for
$500, 100000 authorization for slum
clearance was stalled by Southern
opposition which contended it was
principally of benefit to a limited
few big cities.
The Hatch bill to outlaw per
nicious political activities" of Fed
eral employees was hardly to be
classed as Southern legislation, as
it was initiated by the New Mexico
Senator whose name it bore Never
theless 1t had heavy support from
Southern members, who considered
1t curb on patronage politics in
the South.
Wage-hour amendments, fought
by the administration, made head
way largely because of support of
Southerners who had persisted in
demanding regional differentials
which would permit the South to
use its low labor costs to bid for
industry.
Finally, Southern States pushed
through to showdown the Social
Security amendments by Senator
Connally Of Texas. They were de-
signed to pour larger portion of
old age benefits southwark.
The net result has been a re-
EQUIPMENT of Southern influence in
the party and a substantial tenn
pering of the labor laws whose ef-
tect, directly or indirectly, was to
reduce the Souths competitive ad-
vantage from its cheap labor.

not In complete rebellion, of course.
nor was 1t always alone in rebellion
Southern support was credited with
salVaging the reorganization bill,
trimmed though it was. In turn,
there was almost unanimous con-
gressional support for the agri-
culture bill In which administration
objections were overridden heartily.
The big money additions were made
IN the Senate where, under leader
ship OF Senator Russell of Georgia.
well more than quarter billion was
ADDED to the agriculture budget fig
ure. And the increased benefits were
directed heavily southwark.
They Had Support.
The Southerners did not win out
alone. They won in many of their
efforts principally because of Re-
publican support.
The concluding blow of this
combination was the wrecking OF
the spending-lending bill. Repub-
means and Southerners led the at
tack In the Senate by which it was
Whlttled from a huge spending
program to little more than a farm
aid bill. The same combination in
the House amassed most of the
votes by which it finally was pre-
vented from reaching the floor.

UVALDE, Tex, Aug. 8.-Cactus
Jack Garner, the Nations No. 2
man, was up early today to find out
how his spacious grounds and poul-
try had Jared during his extended
sojurn in Washington.
He was interested, too, in where
the fish were biting. but he de-
clined to give political anglers even
tempting nibble about his views
on governmental problems and his
presidential possibilities.
I'm mighty glad to get out of
governmental affairs for awhile" the
Vice President told a small group
of neighbors after he slipped into
Uvalde. He left train at San An
tonic and motored here with his
fishing partner-crony, Ross Brum-
field, garage operator.
Several neighbors were waiting at
the large tWo-story home and others
dropped by before the Vice Presi-
dents 9 pm. bedtime.
But most of the townfolk, know
ing his dislike for fanfare, were
content to wait until they saw him
in the regular course of things.
During the 81 years Mr.. Garner
has commuted between Washing
ton and Uvalde, this little South
western city has accustomed itself
to his homecoming-becoming ex-
cited only once, after his nomina-
ton for the vice presidency in 1882
To come and go without any sort
of show is what taciturn Cactus
Jack wants and his townsmen have
respected his wishes.
1t didn't take Mr.. Garner long
after he and Mrs. Garner arrived
to forsake the customs of official
Washington. He shed his coat and
collar and gave the premises a
hasty inspection before nightfall.

While in Washington, the wealthy
society matron is an active welfare
worker. One of her more recent
charities has been the organization
of a visiting nurse service at Gal
linger Hospital. She has aided other
hospitals here and contributed to the
work Of the Seeing Eye" a group

D. {. Woman to Head Voyage
To Spice Islands for Plants
Mrs. Anne ArchboId to Gather New Ones
For Introduction Into U. S.

Mrs. Ann Archbold, at an age
when most women would be pre-
occupied with the small affairs of
their grandchildren, is planning to
sail the South Seas in a Chinese Junk
to help famous botanist explore
remote islands for new plants.
The Washington society matron is
in San Francisco making arrange
ments for the expedition, on which
she will be accompanied by David
Fairchild, head of the foreign plant
and seed introduction service of the
Department Of Agriculture for 40
years, and Mrs. Fairchlld.
Mrs. Archbold told the Associated
Press the expedition will sail from
Hong Kong, China, next month to
gather new plants for introduction
in the United States, Central and
South America.
DR.. Fairchild, author of THE
World Was My Garden" a best
seller. is particularly anxious to re-
visit the Moluccas and Spice Islands
north of Australia, which he first
saw in 1899. He had planned to re-
turn because of the wealth of new
plant life on the remote islands, but
never had the opportunity.
The scientist hopes to gather val
liable material from these blind
spots on the botanical map, Mrs.
Archbold said. The expedition will
seek new vines, palms, shade and
fruit trees suitable for the climate
and soil of the Southern United
States and countries to the South.
All plants will be shipped to the
Department of Agriculture here for
examination for insects and dis
eases. Afterward they will be sent
to DR.. Fairchild's home at Cocoa
nut Grove, Fla, for cultivation and
cross-breeding with native plants.
