rectitude too much at heart. Perhaps
he was overstrict. Or, equally per-
haps, he was overindulgent.
The average father is naturally
eager for his sons good. Yet his cor

that a mothers protests do not. The
youth may laugh off her admonitions;
he is often angered by those of his
father.
To my mind one of the most poig-
nant scenes in modern fiction is in
Howard Springs novel MY Son.

Hands - they are actors in them
selves - perform their roles most tell
ingly when they act quietly and force
fully. An actress can use hers to
explode vital energy with one dynamic
gesture, when she wants to substitute
pantomime for speech. Less forceful
gestures will be used to augment or

Appropriation Seen
Al This Session
Little If Any Savings
Under RooseveIt's
Figures Forecast
BY the Associat ated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Influential lawmakers predicted
today that Congress would appro-
pirate about $7,870,000 900 at this
session, resulting in little, If any,
savings under President Roosevelt S
budget estimates.
Although the President told re-
porters last week that it seemed
likely Congress might cut about
5000, ,000, 900 off the 1941 expenditures
which he proposed last January,
some Senators said this now ap-
peared impossible.
AS an Illustration, they pointed to
the likelihood that the Army and
Navy would ask supplemental funds
of 500 100000 or more for defense
needs which were not considered in
the original budget. An expenditure
of this nature virtually would wipe
out the tentative reductions of $118,-
051,334 which have been made in
appropriation bills considered so far.
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee commented:
If we get through with this ses-
sion and stay within the Presidents
original budget estimates, Congress
will have done fine job"
Revenue Reports Hailed.
Senator Harrison and others were
understood to have been cheered by
recent reports that revenues were
running far ahead of expectations.
Mr.. Roosevelt said it seemed likely
that Treasury estimates used in
making up the budget forecasts in
January. would be exceeded by
5000, 10000 900, but some congressional
leaders have been predicting that
this figure would be increased to
$3.50 ,000, 900 when the returns are
complete.
The Presidents budget estimates
were so drawn that if Congress
stayed within them and raised $780,
000.0 in new taxes, the Treasury
could remain within the $45, 900 O00,-
900 statutory debt limit in the fiscal
year ending July /, 1941.
Developments since then, however,
have indicated that there will be no
tax bill in this prediction session.
Congressional leaders pointed out
that if a $4,000 900 cut were made
in the Presidents budget, a $780,
100000 increase in revenues would
clear the slate without additional
imposts.
Still to be considered are the
$975 900, 900 relief bill and last min
ute appropriations which may be
put into a final deficiency bill.
Increase Voted in Three Bills.
Congress thus far has voted in
creases in only three monetary bills
-$133, ,98l 1854 for agriculture, $751;
651, 1,058 for the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps and the National Youth
Administration, and $2,343917 for
civil functions of the War Depart
ment.
Final action has not been taken
on any of these measures, but most
observers agreed the increases likely
would stand without Substantial
changes.
These increases of $191, ,976, $3.50
have been outweighed, however, by
decreases of $3l0,028 ,003 made in IL
other appropriations bills, four Of
which have been acted on finally.

Chain Store Bill Held
Stepping Stone 10
Totd|itdridn Rule
Women's Club Witness
Tells House Unit Farmers
Consumers Would Suffer

The Patman bill providing for the
practical determination of the inter.
state chain store systems in this
country was denounced today as "s
stepping stone toward a totalitarian
form Of government" which would
injure consumers, labor and agri-
culture, by Mrs. Ernest w. Howard
OF the District Federation OF
Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Howard, chairman of the
FederatiOn'S department of legisla-
ton, appeared before a House Ways
and Means Subcommittee holding
hearings on the Patman bill to speak
for the Federation, which has a
membership of 6,100.
The chain store industry" Mrs
Howard said, has been built by the
voluntary patronage of millions of
American families, and we believe
that we must give consideration to
their interest in this matter. Women
today, know how acute is the present
problem of providing food, clothing
and shelter for themselves, their
husbands and their children out of
their present income.
Buy Less, Pay Doctor More.
when food prices rise, it is not
question of paying more for the
same food, but simply this, they dc
not have the money with which tc
pay. Therefore, they must buy less
and eat less, and pay the doctor
more"
Chain stores market 80 per cent
of the American farmers products,
Mrs. Howard said. She observed:
IF the public cannot consume q
given crop of apples, potatoes or
any other product. at the prices at
which they are offered, these goods
do not move from the grocers
shelves: a surplus accumulates and
the farmer cannot sell the balance
OF his crop, or he must sell at q
loss.
The farmers problem is to sell
his products at the cost of produc-
tion plus a fair proft-and to get
them to the consuming public with
as few intermediate costs and profits
as possible. Therefore the Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs believes it is
obviously unfair to the farmer to
propose legislation which would, at
single blow, wipe out 80 per cent
OF his distributing machinery"
"Destruction Of Business"
Mrs. Howard said that the women
for whom she spoke seemed to
hear the voices of thousands of un-
employed, both young and old, if
this un-American bill should be CIV
en- consideration" She added:
When labor's purchasing power is
curtailed, all business suffers, and
the American standard of living is
impaired.
1T indeed seems strange to us that
at time when lands across the sea
have been devastated, human beings
slaughtered or reduced to serfdom
and when this great country of ours
stands alone as the lighthouse OF
opportunity, with problems of her
own, that it should now be proposed
to destroy a group of businesses for
the cruel and admitted reason that
they furnish the necessities OF life
to the wage Garner and his family
at low prices"
Mrs. Howard was among a group
of women who spoke in opposition
to the bill today.
