FROM CONGRESSMAN
GEORGE S. WILLIAMS

RELIEF FOR FINLAND.-Last
Wednesday by a vote Of 1853 to 81 a
House torn between sympathy for
Finland and fear of American in
volvement in the European war
passed the Senate bill permitting the
Export-Import Bank to lend the
Firms an additional S2O,O0O,O 900 for
nOnmilitary purposes. Some Repub-
licans, assisted by a few Democrats,
attempted to liberalize the bill by
lifting the restriction and allowing
Finland a free hand in purchasing
whatever she needed. In attempting
to lift the restrictions Representative
Celler (Dem) Of New York shouted
that Finland asks for bullets-we
give her beans; she asks for powder,
we give her peas" The bill now
goes back to the Senate where Ma
iOrity Leader Barkley said he would
try to obtain approval of the
changes Immediately, thus enabling
the bill to reach the White House in
short order.

On Monday evening, March 4, a
county rally of the Christian En-
deavOrs of Sussex county was held

ber of the Milton society. sang very
sweetly two appropriate numbers, ac-
cOmpanied by Mary Betty Crouch, a
willing and able pianist. The usual

taken by the county secretary, Miss
Emma Wingate, of Georgetown. Mil
ton Christian EndeavOr received the
banner for the largest percentage
present. Milton also received the
shield, a reward given for the largest
representation from their church.
The Ocean View society was awarded
the reward for coming the longest
distance.
For their part Of the program the
young people from the Milford Cal
vary Methodist Christian EndeaVOr
presented a radio program. The
president, Joseph Emory, with the
assistance of Irene Daniels, county
publicity chairman; prepared the
program, which was as follows: A
sketch entitled "A Question OF Mil
lineFy," followed by an organ solo
by Mrs. Lillian Singer, which was
much appreciated. The second sketch
"A Story of Easter" was then pre-
sented. Those taking part were MIR.

ent and presented the award in a |
few well chosen words. Rev. Leslie
Warner. Sussex county president of
laurel, was also present and sug-
gested having a constitution Of by
laws for each endeavOr to try to live
up TO. He also suggested that eight

attendance at our next social rally,

Last Monday evening Charles Pen
lose, vice president Of Day and Zim-
norman, Inc, spoke at a meeting OF
The Delaware College Faculty Club
To many of the older members of the
faculty, the fact that the speaker is
nephew of the late Henry b.
Thompson, former president of the
Board of Trustees of the University,
gave an added interest to his pres
eace. The topic of his address was
New England in 1776-Her Trade

neering for over 80 years. He is a

OHIO ELECTIONS.-Last Tuesday
there were two special elections held
in Ohio to fill the vacancies caused
by the death Of Chester C. Bolton and
William A. AshbrOOk. In the Twenty
second district Mrs. Frances P. Boil
ton, Republican, was elected to Ill
the vacancy created by the death OF
her husband, and became the first
woman to go to Congress from Ohio.
In the Seventeenth district. Byron B.
AshbToOk. a nephew of the former
Congressman. was defeated by ],
Harry McGregor, a Republican.
While the Twenty-secOnd district is
conceded to be strongly Republican,
the Seventeenth district is normally
Democratic and the campaign was
fought on the New Deal issue. The
election in the Seventeenth district
is regarded by many observers as a
barometer of this years voting
trends in politically strategic Ohio.

NATIONAL LABOR LAWS.-After
the Smith Committee has finished its
investigation of the National Labor
Relations Board. it will be ready to
recommend to Congress certain
amendments and revision Of the
Wagner Labor Relations Act. Rec
concentrations OF the House investi-
eating committee are expected to be
unanimous. II differences between
committee members can be submerg-
ed in a report acceptable to all, the
prospect of positive action at this
session of Congress will be greatly
enhanced. The report Of the commit
tee headed by Congressman Smith
will be referred to the House Labor
Committee. and from that commit
tee is expected to emerge q plan for
amendment to the Wagner Act that
will call for the changes to be rec
commended.

PANAMA CANAL.-A look before
you leap and see where you are going
to land" attitude seems to prevail in
Congress when the question Of con-
structiOn of an additional set of
locks for the Panama Canal is
raised. The Appropriations Commit
tee Of the House cut $14,50O,OO0
from the War Department supply
bill for the initiation of this con-
structioOn work. However, the bill
still carries $85O,0OO for the prepara-
tion of plans and specifications for
this project, recommended by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as an urgent defense
need. 1t is true that a serious de-
fense question is here involved, but it
is not so urgent as to necessitate
wasteful haste. The present budget
does provide $39,57O,000 for further
fOrtificatiOn of the Canal and arming
against air attack. It would take six
years to complete an additional set
of locks, and by the time the plans
are ready two years from now, It
may be clearer whether the pro-
tective works would with certainty
defend an auxiliary route closely
the present one, or whe-
ther a new canal. perhaps through
would be necessary to
obtain the desired effect.

CENSUS QUESTIONNAIRE. -
From all sides come vigorous pro-
tests against questions to be asked
by the 1910 census takers. 1t is the
contention of citizens to be con-
frOnted with answering these ques-
tions that they delve much too deeply
into private affairs of their family,
and are a menace to the liberties of
America. A furious but futile attack
was conducted by Republicans in the
House last week against this inva-
sion Of privacy, but after an entire
day of debate a S5,00O,000 apprOpria-
tiOn for the census was passed. and
the House refused to eliminate PEN
alties inflicted for failure to answer
these questions. Principal source Of
Republican resentment seemed to be
the questions inquiring into the
amount of mortgage on their con-
stituents homes and whether the
bathtubs-if any-are used by more
than one family.

Webb and worked Teller for a
walk, forcing in Appling. Keltner
threw out Mike Kreevich and fresh

ped for the third out.
The Sox turned the tide without
a hit.
Sammy Hale, batting for Teller,

er but was stranded as Roy Wealth
erly flied and jeff Heath lined out.
Both clubs crossed the plate in
the fourth. With two down, Teller
walked Appling, who advanced on
Tresh's single and scored on a
safety by Bob Kennedy. Weatherly

Teller. who opened the season
with a no-hitter against the Sox,
gave up eight hits. against a scant
half-dozen allowed by the veteran
Lyons. Teller held the Sox to three
bases on balls, but all figured in
the scoring. He famed seven while
Lyons struck out one.
