President Roosevelt has signed. ac-

William Hassett, secretary to the

the Metropolitan Police have helped
out by detailing men for special
duty.
The President also approved a bill
amending the District Unemploy-
ment Compensation Act to exempt
newspaper carriers under 10 years

New Order Of Living Things.
A new order of living things, per-
haps the tiniest organisms to which
can be attributed all the properties
of life, was described before the
Academy by DR.. L. O. Kunkel of
the Rockefeller Institute.
They live In the juices of tobacco
and tomato plants affected by mo-
sale disease. This is due to a Al
terable virus, a substance with most
Of the properties of life, such as
growth and reproduction, but which
is not universally admitted to be
living. The virus is supposed to
consist Of only a single very large
and complex molecule.
The new organisms are not vi
ruses. They are so small, however,
that they will pass through porce-
lain filters with pores so fine that
even the largest of the mosaic vi
ruses themselves cannot get through.
lney apparently live IN close aSSo-
citation with the viruses, although
they have been isolated from the
juices of apparently healthy plants.
These organisms, DR.. Kinkel said,
produce characteristic translucent
colonies which resemble spherical
crystals. These crystals are made up
OF radiating needle-shaped or plate
shaped structures which can be dis
solved in diluted solution or sodium
or potassium hydroxide. When films
from which colonies have been dis
solved are dried and stained large
numbers of minute, spherical parti-
cles are revealed under the micro
scope. These particles may occur
singly or in chains of two, three or
four. The chains, said DR.. Kunkel,
suggest that the particles are minute
cells and that reproduction occurs
by division. as in the bacteria and
protozoa-larger and more advanced
families Of one-celled life.

Investment Association
Asks Se|f-Regu|ation
BY the Associated Press.

=
Spokesman for the Investment
Counsel Association of America pro-
tested yesterday to a Senate bank
ing subcommittee proposal to sub
Ject their business to Federal regu-
iation, urging that they be per-
mltted to perfect self-regulation
instead.
One provision Of pending legisla-
tlon to regulate investment trusts
and investment companies would re-
qulre registration also of investment
advisers.
Dwight C. Rose of New York,
president of the association, told the
committee the proposal would i'm
pose uncertain and indefinite in
QUESTION and regulation"
THE number of people presently
engaged in the giving of investment
advice for remuneration, exclusive
OF banks and lawyers, is not an ex-
tensive enterprise" he said. "The
strictly professional section of such
advisers is undertaking self-regula-
tion with some success.
The various States, as we'll as
the Federal Government, now have
laws against fraud which cover any
serious abuses which may arise,
Therefore, until further develop.
ment Of the profession has taken
place we believe that regulation
could most effectively be left to the
profession and to existing laws
against fraud"
Douglas T. Johnston, vice presi-
dent, and Rudolf P. Berle, general
counsel of the association, also ex-
pressed opposition to the measure.

Roosevelt
Continued From First Page.)

British and Canadian governments
would act jointly and Immediately
to block the effort, but the attitude
of the Washington Government is
an all-important factor and one
about which Mr. Mackenzie King
doubtless will make inquiry while
here.
Among other subjects believed
scheduled for discussion are the ST..
Lawrence waterway treaty, our neu-
trality patrol in waters adjacent to
both Canada and the United States
and the extent to which American
manufacturing concerns may estab-
lish plants for wartime production
across the Canadian border. And it
is not unlikely, with Pacific tension
definitely increased in recent weeks,
that mutual problems on that front
also may be studied.
Speculation involving Mr.. Roose-
welt was not being confined today to
his meeting with Mr.. Mackenzie
King, however, the domestic political
analyzers being even more intrigued
with yesterdays announcement that
he is planning trip to the Pacific
Coast in June. Assuming Congress
has adjourned and European de-
velopments do not force him to re-
main in Washington, the President
disclosed that he hopes to leave the
Capital around June 10, head south
ward to Texas, then to California,
the Northwest, and possibly Alaska,
in a political tour of about
81 days.
At several points he will dedicate
new national preserves, with at least
several speeches on conservation -
being slated' AS in 1896. Mr.. Roose-
welt thus will be travelling. and
speaking, during the week of the
Republican National Convention
beginning this year in Philadelphia
on June "a.
To some, his announcement of
the Western trip this year was con-
sidered an indication of intent to
keep himself available" for third
term nomination by the Democrats.
To others. it was considered more
an effort to rally the Democrats be-
hind his Saturday night call for
"a liberal pair of candidates, run
ming on a liberal and forward plat
form"
Although it had been rumored for
the last two months, yesterdays an
nouncement of the trip was the
first word from the White House.
Driving his own car around the
shaded dirt roads of the spacious
Warm Springs Foundation, Mr..
Roosevelt held his press conference
in front of one of the newsmen's
cottages. Later he drove to the
foundation golf course for some
"kibitzing" at a golf tournament
featuring White House aides, re-
porters. photographers and radio
announcers.
He told his conference that he
hoped to remain here until Fri
day or Saturday unless European
developments call him back to the
Capital earlier.

Senators Kill House
Rider on Appointments;
23-MiIIon Cut Made

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee today struck from the Labor.
Federal Security appropriation bill
a House rider which sought to bar
appointment of non-civil employees
in these agencies in excess of their
State quotas on the basis Of popula-
ton.
The amendment involved the
same issue now being fought out on
a wider scale by the Senate Civil
Service Committee, considering the
Ramspeck bill, in which the House
voted to prohibit the extension Of
civil service status to non-civil serv-
ice employees If they came from
states that are above their quotas
under the civil service apportion-
ment law. The Ramspeck bill would
AFFECT thousands of employees Of
Maryland, Virginia, the District of
Columbia and IA other States.
S23,585,03O Net Cut.
The Senate Committee made a
net cut of $23 3,585 030 in the Labor
Federal Security bill, before report
ing it out carrying a total of $685.
054, 4,670
The biggest reduction was s25,-
000, 900 taken from the Civilian Con-
servation Corps, offset by increases
Of $1045, 900 for wage-hour law ad-
ministration, $253 900 for the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
several smaller increases. In addi-
ton to the c. c. C. cut, smaller re-
ductions were made in Labor De-
partment bureaus.
Still Exceeds Estimates.
Even with this net reduction be-
low the House, however, the bill still
exceeds the budget estimates by
s32 2,066 ,02S, and the appropriation
for the current year by $24,74e 300.
The subcommittee that drafted
the measure had recommended re-
tention of the House ban on ap-
pointments from over-quota States,
with a slight change applying it to
the Civilian Conservation Corps,
which the House had exempted.
When the entire Senate committee
met this morning, however, it
knocked out the restriction.
If the Senate upholds the COM
mittee's action, the fate of the limi.
tation will rest finally with the con-
ferees for both houses.
