BOTH CONGRESS
 IN THIRD M0NTH;
 NOT MUCH DONE
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST

WASHINGTON Mar. 3--tR--
 The Soth Congress swings into it's third month of business today with
 little to show for it's efforts so far and with two headlines looming ahead
 This is the month the lawmakers i must decide what to do about the draft law. which expires March 3l,
 and in which their leaders had
 hoped to finish work on general 1 labor law to head off possible
 new coal strike April l.
 Chances for getting new labor
 law on the statute books by the
 end of the month-when John l..
 Lewis current soft coal truce ex- pires were dealt blow by the
 announcement of Chairman Hart ley tR-ND, that the House Labor Committee may net wind up it's
 hearings before the middle of the month
 The Senate Labor Committee i plans to end it's public hearings { Saturday, but both committees may
 spend considerable time behind
 closed doors writing their separate i bills.
 Even when they reach the re- spective floors, the measures arc , expected to provoke long days of debate
 But the month promises to be a
 busy one for Congress. The House Appropriations Com
 mittee has half a dozen depart
 mental supply bills almost ready The Senate was. set for a show
 down today on resolution cutting $4,500, 100000 fro mthe Presidents
 budget for the new fiscal year

GAS TAX HIKE APPROVED BY UPPER HOUSE
Increase in Aid 10 Depend ent Children Voted
 Down in Senate

By a 13-3 vote, the Alaska sen ate this morning passed, with emergency clause, S. B. A, which would double the present one-cent per gallon tax on motor fuel. The bill would also direct all revenues from the tax into special fund for roads, airports, boat harbors and other water facilities.
 Also passed was Senate Bill, No 2, similar to measure al ready passed by the House, ap- propriating S20o00 to provide for a biennial audit of territorial of fices. The difference between the two bills is who shall direct the audit. The House version calls for hiring of an auditor by the Board of Administration, while the bill passed by the Senate to- day would put the Auditor in charge of checking upon all offices but his own and calls for the Governor to order an audit of the Auditors Office.
 With 28 measures on it's calen- dar for today, the Senators acted upon only three of them this fore noon. The third was s. B. 10, which would have doubled the maximum allowances for assistance to mothers for care of dependent children, raising the top limit for single child from $25 to $50 The bill was killed, by a 6-l0 vote after providing the principal zest of the morning meeting and after defeat of an amendment that would have put the single chile limit at s35. The till had been literally sprinkled with do not pass" labels.
 Director of Public Welfare Rus sell Maynard received some rough treatment before S. B. 10 had run its course. At one point Senator N. R. Walker refused to be rap ped to order when President An drew Nerland looked upon some of his remarks to Maynard as un- gentlemanly.
 Why do I have to be gentle with a department head?" Walker wanted to know, and followed by indicating that Maynard had given the legislators misleading inform ation.
 Maynard was mainly asked why his appropriation request under tEa head of aid to dependent chil- dren had been doubled for the coming biennium. His reply was that the number of children need ing assistance is increasing and IS expected to reach 1000, with 527 on the rolls now. He attributed the increase to more children, em- ployment dislocations and growing awareness of aid benefits.
 He contradicted a statement by

Under these conditions, many

1t was not in the stars. the fateful

Miss Hellman should have nothing

there always is at least one movie

a question Of time, therefore, until

of course, is Another Part of the

that it deals with the childhood of
the adults in the precedent play.
Another Part of the Forest" had
quite a run on Broadway, one that
was not hurt by the fact that Miss
Hellman and the critics had few
harsh verbal exchanges.
This is not uncommon relation

reviewers, although the result is
never any more definite than Offer
