ITEMS FROM THE NEWS
From the United States News
come the following news items rel
ative to the week:
British and French Representa-
tives who came to U. S. to smooth
out trade difficulties and to take
soundings on possible loans are
going away empty-handed. Brit
ish-French officials have a hard
time understanding the detached
view Of American Congressman to-
ward what is going on in Europe.
The Maritime Commission is
well satisfied with the outcome of
the row over its funds for con-
struction of additional new units
for the merchant marine. The
Budget proposed S2OO,OOO,OOO. The
House cut this to $125, 100000. The
Senate voted $$164, 100000 Then
the two branches of Congress split
the difference to $144, 100000.
Back of Mr.. Roosevelt's letter
suggesting that no new sugar leg
islation be attempted, but that the
present Act be extended, is a con-
viction of Congressional leaders
that sugar interests are unable to
unite on revised program.
Officials on the inside of the
census row, defenders of the per-
sonal income questions, insist one
of the chief motives behind recent
Congressional attacks is fear of
the effects a eapportionment bill
might have on the House repre-
sentation of certain States, and a
consequent desire to discredit the
whole census in the public eye.
Hope to silence some of the
clamor for immediate enactment
of the Townsend plan is discerned
behind strong Senatorial support
or the Downey resolution to au-
thorize study by the Finance Com
mittee of the plan ad also Of the
old-age insurance section of the
Social Security Act. A report
would not be submitted until next
year, when enactment is expected
of changes in several sections of
the Act.
Mr.. Roosevelt now definitely is
letting it be known to his init
mates that he will not announce
his political intentions until con-
vention time The idea is not to
impair White House standing
abroad in any way by a hint of re-
It might be appropos to add here
the words made up by the Gridiron
Club:
Let us wake without repining
From this dream of greater
glory:
Only you can tell US how, o
Franklini
Break the silence, close the
story
Let us awaken-now"

soaked material had been used to
thaw out frozen water pipe outlet

the skating rink and evidently some
of the alcohol had seeped back along
the pipe and the fire followed, get
