Washington Kettle Summers On
 Domestic Issues

WASHINGTON, (P) -Coopera- tion between President Truman and the Republican-contro d Congress appears to be wearing thin on domestic issues today as the legislators near the end of their second months work.
 MT. Truman and COP leaders have maintained outward harmony on foreign policies, but there are signs that blowup may not be far off on home affaris.
 Although he called Republicans as we'll as Democrats to the White House yesterday for a highly se- cret discussion by Secretary of State George C. Marshall on Euro pean affairs, not since February 3 has MT. Truman held any meeting with Congressional leaders to talk over the legislative program.
 At that session, only the second of its kind since the resident said he intended to cooperate with Con-

Seeing The Legislature From The Gallery
(BY Mildred Hermann)

4'IG OO4Iey-GIecll Dill Wnlch seeks to abolish the Alaska Devel- ,oment Board was killed in the House Saturday morning by a tie vote. This action followed extend ed consideration of the measure in the course of which George Sund- borg, general manager of the board, spent two hours on the stand undergoing questioning by House members.
 Questioning by Carl Anderson relative to the boards participa- ton in lighterage rate hearings of Bering Sea lighterage companies, led to the revelation by Sundborg to the effect that the high lighter age rates in Nome were seriously impeding development there.
 Sundborg read one letter from a man who had bought sawmill equipment for surplus property at Nome for $2,5O0, expecting to ship same to Kotzebue for operating a saw mill in that area and found the cost of shipping was $3,5OO, largely because of high lighterage rate.
 Sundborg also revealed that the hearing in Seattle showed that all most One-third of the revenues from lighterage were paid out in salaries, principally to Lomen brothers who do not live in Nome and that maritime practice usually allots only about six per cent for that purpose
 This is not news to your people, but you should have seen the au- dience reaction to it here.
 Carl Anderson not a very able inquisitor as he is too inclined to lose his temper, but he had the able assistance of Maurice John son, who classified the lighterage rate hearing as unWarranted inter- ference with private business; completely overlooking the public interest adversely affected by high rates.
 Endorsements received from various organizations were not produced though several times re- quested by Steve McCutcheon. Speaker Gill stated he had given them to some one and finally re- membered it was Joy of Fair banks, chairman of the ways and means committee, who said he had them some place and might be able to find them in his desk if he looked but did not consider them of any value anyway.
 Noone in the House made the mistake of Senator Jones, declar- ing it to be nobody'S business how he voted, but the general tendency was to pooh pooh the endorse ments by saying they did not rep resent the opinion of the majority of the members of the organiza- tions, that the members did not know anything about the board anyway, and that they did not be- lieve in submitting to pressure.
 Frank Johnson, Indian member of the House from Rake, had the answer to that one when he said that public opinion was the kind of pressure that every member of the House could rightly be proud to submit to.

Relief Costs Climb
As Prices Increase
More Families Are Seeking Aid
rs Initiation Is Felt.

CHICAGO. - Inflated prices are
causing the nations relief costs to
soar by forcing more families onto
assistance rolls, American Public
Welfare association reports. Indi-
vidual assistance checks also have
to be increased.
The association said mounting re-
lief costs were hitting federal, state
and local governments. In addition,
recent amendments to the social
security act provide for increased
federal aid to indigents. Similar pro-
visions are being made or requested
on lower governmental levents
throughout the United States, the
association said.
Wisconsin state welfare officials
have estimated that total relief
costs in the state may mount to 80
million dollars for the next two
years. That would be a 30 million
dollar increase.
Pennsylvania public assistance ex-
penditures for last October alone
totaled more than seven million dol
lars, an $500, 900 increase over Sep
TENDER relief costs. Individual as
sistance checks were boosted $3.50
during the month to help ris-
ing food costs, and 5000 new names
were added to the list of cases.
King county, Washington, welfare
costs during October, 1916, were
$3.50, 900 more than in October, 1915.
Springfield, Mass, officials expect
to spend more than two million dol
lars this year for child care, old-age
assistance and general relief.
Inflated living costs and unem-
ployment also are straining relief
budgets in Arizona, the association
said, while Massachusetts, Iowa
and Illinois have granted more
funds for public assistance.

Specialist Claims He Cured
Ulcers With Water and Talk

LONDON.-Dr. A. Morton Gill, a
London specialist, reported that he
has cured stomach ulcers with moth
ing but water and assurances.
DR.. Gill said all but one of 20 con-
secutive patients had been cured of
chronic gastric ulcer within one to
two months by daily hypodermic in
jections of distilled water.
The n exception recovered rap
idly after false assurance that his
ulcer was almost healed. Within a
month it disappeared.
"Ulcers are not healed by diet
alone, nor by injections, nor by
medicines, but because the man
with the ulcer comes under the care
of a physician who is able to trans
NIT some of his own confidence to
the patient" DR.. Gill says.

Army Signal Corps to Work on

NEW YORK.-Army signal corps

The immediate objective of the
program is to dispense fog and
clouds over airports, but eventually
the experimenters hope to do more.
DR.. c. G. Suits, vice-president and
director of the G.. E. research labo-
ratory in Schenectady, N. Y, said
that while a general plan of weather
control Giles far in the distant fu-
ture, some influencing of weather
condition-the clearing up of an
overcast, for instance-is a distinct
possibility"
1t might be possible also to bring
snow or rainfall whenever desired,

Teacher Earns a Draw
In Battle of Castor Oil

SPRINGFIELD, TENN. Vic
tor Baggett, %, substitute teach
er at Adams, near here, can dish
it out-castor oil style-and take
trough and tumble style.
Some of Baggett's pupils
chewed bubble gum in class. He
passed out small doses of castor
oil.
They told their fathers. Seven
of the parents parked in front of
the school and waited for Bag
gett.
"That's the guy who gave our
kids castor OIL" one shouted.
Lets give it back to him."
Baggett knocked the first two
men down. The other five
knocked him to the ground and
roughed him up a bit. But their
big plan failed. They couldn't
make Baggett drink the bottle of
castor oil they had.
Baggett said he wouldn't pre-
fer charges-and wouldn't stop
giving his pupils castor oil if
they chewed bubble gum in
class.

home last week from California. IN
Los Angeles they attended a con-
~vention of independent theater own
ers, and subsequently visited Holly
wood and Long Beach. Moran saw
banana ships from South America
being unloaded at Long Beach. He
wondered whether he could buy some
of the fruit, and inquiry revealed he
could-any quantity. The refriger-
alton had broken down in a compart-
ment in one of the ships during the
trip, which allowed the fruit to ripen
too soon. The price on the dock
was IL cent a dozen or SIPS for
a large stalk. The bananas were
delicious and Moran had all he
wanted.

Mrs. M. J.. Harrison, was recently
