To Call Congress Back

of preventing suits for back pay by
workers who weren't paid for time
required in starting and finishing
work, weakened the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
3-Removed from social securi-
ty news vendors and about 100000
outside statesmen and other work
ers; froze the social security pay
roll taxes at / per cent.
Passed a diluted, loosely con-
structed rent control law which
removes many units from controls.
5-Raised the pay of $4,000
classified" federal employees flat
1880 a year, and 100000 postal
workers $3.50 a year.
6-Passed the Bulwinkle- Reed
bill exempting railroads from the
antitrust laws.
And here are some of the pro-
posals that Congress rejected or
pigeonholed:
Raising the legal minimum
wage from the present 40c to from
75c to 81. Extending the coverage
of social security to workers who
don't now benefit.
2-Appropriating $30O,000,000 to
bring the educational systems of
the poorer states up to the level of
the better states.
3-Civil rights legislation. Anti
Ilynching bill, permanent FEPC bill,
anti-poll tax bill, prohibition of
segregation in the armed forces all
were relegated to the scrap heap.
National health insurance.
5-A housing program aimed to
encourage building of 100000
homes a year by private builders,
and total of 100000 low-cost pub
lie housing units, over the next 10
years-the Taft Ellender- Wagner
| bill.
6-Social security extension to
move workers, with higher bene-
fits, and with disability insurance

Brewster Machine
Beaten In Maine

Portland (LPA) - Altho Mar
garet Chase Smith was not Ia
Dor candidate" most of organized
labor in New England was pleased
by her victory in the Republican
senatorial primary last week. Her
votes exceeded that of her combined
opposition-three men. Nearest
contender was Gov. Horace Hill
dreth, whom Sen. Owen Brewster
wanted as his team-mate in the
Senate.
All of the candidates for the Sem
atorial post except Hildreth pledged
their opposition to the Barlow anti
union law which will appear on a
state referendum ballot in Septem-
Der. Even Hildreth, candidate OF
the Brewster machine dared not
come out for the "little Taft-dart-
ley"
Maine railroad workers were
elated over Mrs. Smiths victory.
She took an active part in the
fight for the Crosser amendments
to the Railroad Retirement Act.
one of the few pro-labor measures
enacted by the 80th Congress.
The Barlow law, which was de-
feated in the state legislature,
would outlaw the closed shop, sec
ondary boycotts, sympathetic
strikes and jurisdictional strikes in
Maine.
The well-planned educational
campaign of the unions against the
Barlow bill has reached into nearly
every section of Names citizenry,
and resulted in the unwillingness of
any candidate for statewide office
to openly identify himself with it.
"Vote No Barlow Clubs" have
been organized thruout the state.
School teachers and small business
mems support has been solicited,
and posters explaining the anti
union measure have appeared in
most unionized plants.
The Pulp Workers and Paper
Makers unions, both AFL spear
headed labor's campaign against
the Barlow proposal, with Fred
Morris, international vice president
of the Pulp Workers, devoting much
Of his time to the fight.

Natures Children
by liIIion Cox Athey
Crash hoppers.

Nature must have dedicated Au-
gust to grasshoppefs. This is their
most prosperous month. At this
time, both old and young concen-
trate on all green herbage they can
find. In a few hours they can re-
duce a farmers hopes to nothing.
A number of greedy chewers make
a loud clicking sound as they crunch
the green leaves. They are me-
thodical in their chewing, cleaning
up perfectly rs they 60.
Since Bible times grasshoppers
have left a trail Of destruction as
they travelled.
Short t-horned grasshoppers are SO
called because their antennae are
shorter than their body length. The
devasting habits of long horned and
short-horned are identical. The
short horned species is the one that
descends upon the fertile corn fields
OF Russia. The migrating tribe
leaves q trail OF desolation as 1t
goes through Algeria, India. Cape
Colony and the Argentine Republic.
In the past they ruined many farm
ers Of our Southwest.
The cost of control of either short
or long horn amounts to many mil
lions annually. Poisoned bran Is
too much for them to cope with.
All members of the clan are IA
nous leapers. But the nervous fel-
low has no gadget for directing his
lump. he only knows he lands else
where If he moves. 1t Is q leap In
the dark which often comes to grief
Spiders hang their snares for un-
wary hoppers and have excellent
luck.
If you will notice the length Of the
hind legs, which are provided with
a femur as long as the entire body
and equipped with numerous power
full muscles that appear braided and
attached to the skeleton Of the leg
you will see where the strength
comes from for the 10 to 20 foot
leaps. The tibia of the hind leg is
long and as strong as steel. The
jumper, before sailing into the air
lowers the great femur below the
level of the tightly closed wings, and
until the tibia is parallel with the
wing and the entire foot pressed
firmly against the ground, there is
no take-of.
Each female has a sword-shaped
horny tipped egg placer at the tip
of her abdomen. 1t is self-powered
1t is steadily pushed into the soil to
form a pocket for the eggs. Short
horned grasshoppers construct
bent flask-like pocket in the soil
This is lined with a tough gray
substance that is dampproof and
large enough to hold rs to 40 eggs
Two or more egg pods are made by
each female during the summer
The eggs remain in the flask all
winter, the young hoppers emerg-
ing in spring when the first tender
green leaves are present. After the
fifth moult. wings are acquired.
Long -horned grasshoppers are our
most gifted insect musicians. Only
the males have ears or fiddles.
Fiddle music is produced by
scratching a file on the left wing
over a stiff ridge on the right one.
The hotter the day the more lively
the serenade.

sNT Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Two of hearts.
In almost every no trump con-
tract declarer is faced with the
problem Of which suit to attack in
the hope Of developing a sufacient
number Of tricks to fulfill his con.
tract. The proper selection depends
upon . variety Of circumstances.
Very frequently 1t is vital to keep
one Of the opponents out Of the
lead and therefore, the selection
of the suit to work on will be de-
termined by that factor. In other
words, illnesses will be taken so
that If they lose, the trick will go
to the non danger hand. Where
everything else is equal, declarer
should, as rule. attack the suit
that will provide the greater mum.
Der of tricks
In today's hand We have another
factor. That is the ability to try
both suits, If they are tried In the
proper sequence. Two chances must
be better than one.
West elected to lead the two Of
hearts, East followed with the king
and South saw no point In holding
up since 1t would be impossible to
exhaust East of hearts. He was
faced with the problem Of whether
to attack spades or diamonds.
