President Signs Hatch Bill and
 Gives Reasons

WASHINGTON, Aug. ? (A0 - President Roosevelt today signed the Hatch Bill regulating polit- ical activity of most federal job holders.
 He told Congress in a special message that if it was admins tered Fin accord with it's spirit" it would serve the purpose in- tended by Congress.
 Taking this unusual step in in- forming Congress why ne approv ed of the measure, the President said that despite questions of con stitutionality, he had resolved in favor of the bill.
 Roosevelt pointed to the many broad provisions fo the measure as involving difficulty of inter pretation, but he said: 1t is be- cause for so many years l have striven in public life and private life, fir decency in political cam paigns both on the part of gov emment servants, candidates, newspaper corporations, and in dividuals, that I regard this new legislation at least step in the right direction"
 The Act. sought for almost two years by Senator Hatch, prohib- its all federal job holders ex- cept policy-making officials from participating in politics in any way except to vote. on threat of removal from office. This will apply particularly to U. s. Attor neys, Marshals, Customs and Rev enue Collectors, who in the past have served as delegates to pres idential nominating conventions.

the Alaska Planning Council to carry on research in the territory briefly outlined the purpose and technique of planning & the gen eral detalls of the preliminary economic survey of Seward Pen insula on which he is now work ing. pr. Bauer explained that planning is not a new thing; but, in contrast to earlier planning, it is now realized that there must be better coordination between the plans of the various indiv- idual departments and private in tereStS to result in the maxi mum of government efficiency and regional development. At present there are two regional projects under way in Alaska, which is No. 10 of the nations S planning regions; one a soil and economic survey if the Matan- uska Valley and the other here in the Seward Peninsula region These two projects comply with the suggestion voiced in the Al aska Resources report published last year by the National Re sources Committee, that this gen eral report be followed by more comprehensive surveys.
 The work on the Seward Penin sula survey may well be divided into five major parts, as follows:
 1. A comprehensive physical of the area.
 2. A thorough analysis of the population distribution, occupa- tional status of various groups, etc.
 3. A concise picture of the ec- onomic situation with its advan- tages and handicaps.
 4. The administrative angle { h e sh are of the territor ial and national governments in the development of this region.

House Refuses To Consider The Lending Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (H) - The House considered the admin istration of the $1,950, ,000,0 900 lending bill. Some of the mem bers said the measure was kill ed by a session vote of l93 against a consideration of 166 in favor. Coalition Democrats and Republicans successfully fought the adoption of the resolution setting forth the procedure for the formal consideration of the bill which already passed the Senate in somewhat different form.
 The refusal of the House to consider the bill came over the vehement opposition of major ity leader Rayburn, against such arbitrary action. The rejection impelled several members to pre- dict adjournment to follow with a rush.
 In the Senate however, major ity leader Barkley said odds and ends of business might keep Con gress in session until August g.

Your mind is so fatigued 1t

Little Poison's" average thus
climbed II points during the past
week against tough pitching offered
by the Los Angeles club-pitching
good enough TO set back the San

games. Be-spectacled Dom is en-
barrasSed no end, however, by the
fact he dropped a fly ball on Sun

DiMag has been among the first

the Oakland pitchers extremely
penuriouS with base hits last week,
and dropped down to the third
spot with mark of 1886, come
down of 26 points.
Into second spot went Manager

Fourth position in the hitting

Arnold (Jigger Statz of Los An

leading Angels.
DiMaggio in compiling his per-
centage, has also scored So runs off
his 90 hits, which goes TO show
that the Seals are sending him
home with astonishing regularity
On the other hand, Sweeney has
tcored only % of the II times he
has hit safely which might prove
that the so-called Portland power
house has blown fuse.

Julio Bonetti Of Los Angeles leads

Nv HENRY McLEMORE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 80.
UP)-The first hundred miles are
fun. the second hundred okay, the
third tough, the fourth hell, and
the fifth-well, they're murder.
That's the way Babe Stapp
breaks down the 500-mile race over
the bricks and asphalt of the In
dianapolis Speedway. AS you read
this Babe is probably in the first
hundred miles of today's race
head clear, eyes bright, feeling
good. getting a tremendous lift
from whamming into the trescher-
GUS turns and batting down the
straightaways.
But his "fun hundred" won't last
long. Clipping along at l20 miles
per hour he'll soon be in the third
hundred, where the strain begins
to take effect. Eyes will be blood
shot from studying the road, the
tachometer needle, tires, signals
from the pit. Ears will roar and
throb from constant listening to
the thundr of his motor, the whine
anu VI 44Ao vi bAII lOdl
of his 80 competitors. Legs will be
hot and burned from splashing oil,
and all over he will ache from
the cramped confinement Of the
cockpit and the steady-steady
pounding and pull of a little car
rolling at top speed.
1t will be tough then. but moth
ing like the fourth hundred. Then
his sun baked helmet will feel like
q stove lid on his head. His eyes,
his ears, his bones, his muscles will
begin to scream to his mind that
the punishment has gone far
enough. And his mind, tired too
will try to keep the secret that the
worst is yet TO come-that this is
just hell, and that murder is right
around the corner.
THAT last hundred miles is a
pure and simple killer" Stapp told
me yesterday as he did his final
tinkering over his sleek little Alta
Romeo. You feel as if you were
on fire all over. Your eyes are like
Goals, and your nose blisters from
the sting of burning fuel. There
isn't a spot that doesn't ache. And
your car seems to know you're
worn out and trys to start running
