Visitor Predicts
July Adjournment
For Congress
By BILL RHODES WEAVER
Relaxing with his coat off and old-
fashioned "galluses" showing, Speaker
of the House William Bankhead, think
ing about the international situation,
said he is "more at ease" since the ar
rangement of a "tentative agreement"
among England, France and Russia.
Admitting that the Munich confer
ence had him worried, Speaker Bank- -head
placed confidence in the action of
France and England in increasing
their armaments. However, he would
not venture an opinion on what might
be expected from Hitler or Mussolini ,
within the next few months.
CONGRESS
Congress, he said, will probably be
in session until the middle of July. He
accounted for the long session because
of the large program yet to be con
sidered. House bills will deal with the
social security act, and the house ways
and means committee will consider the
ax bill, of which the so-called "nuis
ance" taxes are important since many
of them will. expire July 1. The main
consideration will be a means by which
the present revenue income may be
kept from reduction. .
A deterrent tax, dealing with the
distribution of private profits, will be
on the house program.
ROUD PAPA
Turning from the nation's' capital,
Speaker Bankhead remarked that the
play in which his daughter, Tallulah,
is starring, "The Little Foxes," "seems
to be quite a hit ... I think her plan
is to take it on tour after its Broadway
run."
The former Alabama football player
is particularly interested in his alma
mater ... Will possibly visit Wallace

sity: "We hear about the University

GRAHAM SPEAKS

ON IMMIGRATION
University Prexy
Advocates Admission
Of Refugee Children
Speaking before the. immigration
committee of the House of Representa
tives in Washington Wednesday, Pre
sident Frank P. Graham endorsed a
proposal to admit 20,000 refugee chil
dren from Germany into this country.
Graham, one of several witnesses
testifying before the committee in be
half of the proposal, said that it would
be most unfortunate if the United
States became a stronghold for' bigotry
instead of a haven for the persecuted
and oppressed.
The bill, asserted the president,
would affect Catholics, Jews and
Aryans.

First Trumpeter Tompkins
Is A Doctor Of Medicine; Band
WiU Play Here Next Friday
When you hear the swinging jive
rhythms of Jimmie X.unceford and his
orchestra at the Tin Can during the
second day of the Finals set next Fri
day don't jump at the conclusion that
swing music is just a lot, of notes
thrown together by a crew of wild, un
musicianly instrumentalists.
As a matter of fact, 10 of the boys
in the band are college graduates and
one, Eddie Tompkins, the first trum
peter, is a Doctor of Medicine. Aside
from that, they are students of mu
sic.
Jimmie builds a case for his theory
that swingsters are good musicians
with the following facts : when Arturo
Toscanini was building his NBC sym
phony orchestra and found he lacked
a few key instrumentalists, he went to
Paul Whiteman for Sam Lewis, trom
bonist; to Fred Waring for Donald
Bryan, trumpeter; and to Tommy Dor
